Chapter 9: The Looming Shadow
Fuji attack Yamanouchi.
Chijuro walks alone on a mountain trail.
The moonlight is like frost, slightly lonely.
He took the dry food and thought as he chewed it.
To be honest, when the two of them said that the leader of this mission was Kyojuro, he was ready to turn around and return.
After all, the gap between his current strength and the original body is too great.
No reason, in the face of such a huge change, seems to be weak.
According to Senjuro's idea, it is to show his strength little by little in front of everyone, showing a gradual process, so that even if his speed of becoming stronger is still much faster than that of ordinary people, it is still barely reasonable.
As for exposing their strength in front of the two just now, and they passed it on?
Sorry, please show evidence, otherwise you will be sued for defamation.
What Senjuro is afraid of is exposing his strength in front of many people and people who are familiar with him, as for idle people, etc.? One or two simply doesn't matter.
However, the task of the system forced him to stay in the mountains.
It is impossible for him to keep his hands in the face of demons, which increases the likelihood that he will reveal his strength.
"Ding! Class Quest (3rd Ring, Final Ring) released: Survive in the Fuji Raid Mountain for 3 days (do not step out of the Fuji Raid Mountain Boundary, the timer starts in 1 hour, and if you are not within the Fuji Raid Mountain Boundary, the mission will be judged as a mission failure). Rewards: Level +2, Class Trait [Hunting Mark]. Mission Failure Penalty: Class Deprivation, -80% of all attributes. ”
This kind of punishment is really a little better than killing him directly.
So, the task must be completed.
But there is still a way to accomplish it.
In the past three days, Senjuro is going to hide and try not to be discovered by the nearby ghost killers.
As long as he survived these three days, he slipped back, and then showed that his strength was getting stronger little by little in front of outsiders.
When you think about it, it's perfect!
Chijuro nodded in satisfaction.
"Ding! Stepping into the Fuji Raid Mountain Realm, the timer officially began. Countdown: 2 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds! ”
Glancing at the system prompt, he didn't think much about it, he was on alert, and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows.
……
The other side of Fuji Strike Mountain.
Purgatory Kyojurou wielded the red red blade in his hand, and the blazing flames decapitated a demon who tried to escape.
Touching the sweat on his head, even he couldn't help but be a little tired from killing and repelling dozens of demons trying to escape all night.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned his head and shouted, "Who is it!" Come out! ”
In the silvery moonlight, a figure silently appeared on the edge of the nearby wisteria tree.
Long hair, cold face, two-tone feather weaving......
Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Purgatory Xingjuro's expression moved, and his tense body gradually eased.
"Are you...... Water column, Mr. Yoshiyoshi Tomioka? ”
The man next to the tree turned his head, his face expressionless: "You are, purgatory?" ”
"Yes! I'm Purgatory Kyojuro, and I'm here to participate in the mission instead of my father! ”
"Yanzhu Purgatory Mr. Maki Shoulang, what's wrong?" Tomioka had a slight doubt in his eyes.
"My father is unwell and cannot participate in this mission."
"......" was silent for a long time, and Tomioka Yoshito looked at the broken branches and broken trees behind Kyojuro that were burned bare by lightning strikes, "Ghost, have you caught them all?" ”
"It's a little worse! Everyone is searching hard! ”
Nodding, Tomioka Yoshiyong, who was dressed in two-color feathers, sat down against the wisteria tree: "Let's rotate." ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Mr. Yoshiyoshi Tomioka, who closed his eyes and recuperated, Purgatory Kyojuro couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Is this the 'pillar'?" Even with his eyes closed, he still exudes such an oppressive aura! ”
"Xing Shoulang, you still have a long way to go before the 'pillar'!"
"Come on!"
Thinking like this, his expression was even more excited.
Come, you demons, temper the blade in my hand with your filthy body!
……
Five kilometers away from the vine attack mountain, there is a rural house.
Two figures stepped out of the darkness.
"My lord, not far ahead is the vine attack mountain, hehe, hehe, look, can you let the little one leave first......"
A figure that was two meters tall and had exaggerated muscles all over his body bent over and said humbly.
Walking ahead was a short figure in a pitch-black cloak and a white navy hat.
It is said to be short, but relatively speaking, in the eyes of ordinary people, its height of 1.8 meters is enough to be called burly.
The short figure turned his head with a smile, and looked at the tall figure trembling, and then chuckled: "Hawkers, don't be nervous, just let you lead the way, when you get to Fuji Attack Mountain, you will naturally be allowed to go, but before that, ......"
Looking at the candlelit house in front of it, it licked its tongue, and a scarlet color flashed in its eyes, "Let's replenish our strength first." ”
"Who are you!
Hearing the movement, the owner of the house shouted through the crack in the window: "Leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" ”
Hearing this, the short figure laughed: "It seems that our food can't wait, so let's start enjoying it~"
After saying that, he approached the house and kicked the wooden door away with a "bang".
A moment later, a terrible wail spread far away.
"Ah!!h
Ten minutes later.
A team of ghost killers who were patrolling nearby and rushed to hear the sound pulled out their Japanese knives and approached cautiously.
Five meters from the door, a thick smell of rust reached their nostrils.
This is, the smell of blood?!
A trace of guilt flashed in the eyes of the three ghost killers, and they were finally a step too late.
When they came to the door, by the not-so-bright candlelight in the room, the three of them saw that two figures were squatting on the ground, making a sound of chewing.
All around them, thick and pungent blood was sprinkled on the table, on the walls, on the floor......
Without waiting for the three of them to react, a figure who was chewing slowly stood up, "There are really a lot of delicious foods tonight~"
This situation made the three ghost slayer members furious.
"Damn the devil!"
In the midst of the angry scolding, the three of them waved the Hinakura knife in their hands and slashed at the figure standing in front of them.
"You ghost hunters, it's really, not cute."
I couldn't see what the short figure did, I only heard three loud bangs, and the three people who rushed forward stiffened, and then fell to the ground.
Blood, flowing from their bodies, stained the floor around them red.
The tall figure eating in the back couldn't help but tremble again when he saw this scene, and even felt that the food in his hand was difficult to swallow.
This is, this is the powerful existence that stands above all the demons......
Under the candlelight, you can see that in one eye of the short figure, two strange fonts are engraved.
"Next two!"
Under one ghost, above all ghosts, one of the twelve ghost months, and two of the second string!
The shadow of terror shrouded towards the vine attack mountain in the distance......
