Chapter 370: The Fierce and Hungry Tanuki Clan
Just when Levi and his little niece were arguing and fighting, they were heading towards Ishikawa Prefecture.
In the distance, a kobold with a tattered hat slowly walked out, looking in Levi's direction with a doggy look.
Then, it returned to a dilapidated log cabin, in which only a wooden tombstone was left, and there was not even writing on it, and next to the tombstone, there was no place for the dead to be buried.
Almost all of them are the remains of old people, women, and children, which have been left for too long and have been weathered.
These are the guys who are buried for its last owner.
But now, it has met an acquaintance who took its master twenty years ago.
The kobold kowtowed a few times, then left the hut and followed in Levi's direction.
……
Because this time he was running wildly with the back of the little fox's neck meat all the time, Levi could run all the way without worrying about other people's feet.
Along the way, I didn't meet a donkey or a bison that could become a mount, but I did encounter a lot of weirdness, but they were all sealed by Levi's ghost cut.
When he arrived in Ishikawa Prefecture, Levi finally stopped and took a breath.
"Is the mongoose you're talking about in this place?" Levi asked.
"In a place near the foot of the White Mountain in Ishikawa Prefecture, where they lived more than thirty years ago, I had contact with them for a while, and mongooses rarely migrate on a large scale, and they would not leave if it weren't for a strange thing that threatened the entire group." Yun Ji said.
"Is that so? How do I find them? Levi asked.
"Then set fire to them in the way you know best, uncle, they are used to burrowing, then smoke them out completely." Yun Ji seemed to be encouraging Levi to do just that.
It seems that she was not very happy with this meerkat tribe back then, and now she has come to her parents to block the grove.
Levi let her go, and then she stumbled a few times on the snow, flicking the hair around her neck as if her teeth were on her back.
The White Foothills are an active volcano where volcanoes are everywhere, and many eruptions have been recorded, such as the most famous Mt. Fuji, and the same is true of the White Foothills.
However, even if it is an active volcano, it seems that it has not erupted in hundreds of years, and the entire volcano is covered with snow and trees.
"Help me find their cave." Levi said to Yun Ji.
"Wang!" But the sudden sound of a dog barking caught Levi's attention.
He saw a dirty Shiba Inu in the distance, and at this time the Shiba Inu was wrapped in a burden similar to the wind travel cloth, so it seemed that it should be a domestic Shiba Inu, and kept barking at Levi.
"Be careful, it's not just a Shiba Inu, it's a demon." Yun Ji, who was shaving snow next to her at this time, suddenly became vigilant.
"Demons?" Levi also looked at the Shiba Inu, and sure enough, in his perception, he found a strong smell of dead people on the dog.
This is a demon who has killed people, and he has killed a lot.
"It seems to want to guide us and show us the way." Levi continued.
It walked slowly, but when it was about fifty meters away from the Shiba Inu, it left directly, and then ran a few hundred meters before calling again.
In this way, it is to take Levi somewhere.
After following for a few kilometers in a row, Yun Ji suddenly became vigilant: "This is here, the mongoose's lair, did that dog actually know that we were here to find the mongoose and deliberately led us here?" ”
"You're a canine, too, but didn't you smell the mongooses just now?" Levi asked, turning his head.
But what I saw in an instant was the little niece's fool-like eyes, even though she was in a fox state at this time, but the disgusted eyes under the lenses were still clearly expressed, and Levi suddenly closed his mouth.
"What is the purpose of that dog? Want to bring us here? Yun Ji instantly showed doubts, "Do you know it?" ”
Levi shook his head.
"Forget it, don't think about it, let's just set it on fire."
The two of them then began to look for firewood near the entrance of the cave, which was then moistened by Levi and then lit at the entrance of the cave.
Soon, the smoke spread into the cave, and then countless creatures who looked like cats and not cats, dogs and dogs rushed out like crazy, and after rushing out of the hole, they kept coughing and grinning.
Levi was stunned for a moment, he didn't really know what a mongoose was, but now, he only thought that this thing was very similar to the little raccoon he knew in his previous life.
I don't know if the little raccoon, the tanuki, and the red panda are related, anyway, in Levi, a person who is not familiar with biology, they all look similar, so can this thing really catch mice as Yun Ji said?
First of all, when it comes to catching mice, it should be a cat or a fox, right?
Levi looked at Yun Ji, thinking that if the feathered fox clan was prosperous, there were hundreds of little foxes, and he didn't have to run so far to this volcano to find these tanuki with a sad face.
But now, only the last lone seedling of the Feathered Fox Clan remains, and perhaps when Yun Ji dies of old age, the Feathered Fox Clan will also be completely extinct.
"Good dog! Is that what you set on fire? At this time, among the group of mongooses who rushed out of the cave and kept coughing and grinning their teeth, an old tanuki who was actually holding a human cane scolded Yun Ji angrily.
It is dressed in a very funny way, barely half a meter tall, but it still learns to walk upright as a human, wearing a cloth cloak, a cane, and a beard similar to that of a human.
It can be seen that this guy knows Yun Ji, but as soon as the two meet, they are full of gunpowder, and he directly calls his little niece "dog".
"Young, young, isn't this the legendary big demon three thousand Tibetan civet cats? I haven't seen this for a few years, and I have started to pestle crutches. Yun Ji also replied.
It seemed that she particularly disliked the words "dog" and the like, and even though Levi made a joke, she was stared at by death for several minutes.
At this time, all the other tanuki came behind the tanuki named Sanchizo, and they all bared their teeth at Yun Ji, who looked like a fox at this time.
"You ......" Sanqianzang suddenly felt a rush in his heart, and he only felt that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Oh, it looks like it's a recurrence of an old disease." Yun Ji continued to reply.
"Cripple fox, what are you doing here, you are not welcome here?" Sanchizo didn't scare people anymore, it found that the entire tanuki family was not as good as this fox when it came to angry people, but hurriedly made a gesture to drive people away.
"Heh, I don't want to come to you either, but now I have a job for you here, and I need to go to Kyoto for humans, how about it?" Yun Ji smiled as a fox.
"I'm not interested, shut up." Sanchizo blew his beard and stared, it didn't seem to be very old, but at this time it looked like a little old man.
"Let me see, after the weird outbreak, you don't seem to have a hard time, and now there are only two or three of these kittens left in the group? When we met a few decades ago, hundreds of raccoon cats surrounded me and beat me, are you going to exterminate the race? Yun Ji continued.
However, after saying this, Sanqianzang suddenly stopped.
"You say it again?" It was really irritated.
"Are you mongoose clan going extinct?" And this time, Yun Ji just replied more mercilessly.
"Stinky fox, you deceive people too much, I've put up with you for a long time!"
"So, if you want to return to the capital of mankind again, do you want to grow stronger?" Yun Ji said.
"Heh, now that human beings are unable to protect themselves, there is no difference between lying on humans and begging for a living in the wild, but you, the feathered fox will also completely turn to humans?" Sanqianzang looked at Levi at this time, it felt that it had almost had a heart attack after scolding Yun Ji for a long time, and was ready to pull the fire on Levi.
"Hehe, I'll introduce you to my uncle." Yun Ji, who was still in the posture of a fox, stood up, put one hand in her pocket, and pointed at Levi,
"The one in front of you is the sword master who slew the Yaki Orochi, the god who destroyed the Great River and Mountain, and now he has become the actual ruler of Kyoto and successfully repelled the tens of thousands of troops of the Genji Shogunate."
Li Wei himself felt that what he said was a bit excessive.
"You're the human who killed the serpent? I don't think your spiritual pressure is good, right? Sanchizo asked.
"Uncle, up!" Yun Ji jumped onto Levi's shoulder and patted Levi's head.
Levi: "......"
Why did he always feel that the purpose of the little niece to subdue these tanuki was just to come over and show off her might.
He sighed, and in an instant burst out that he had spiritual pressure.
"Plop!" The crutches in Sanqianzang's palm broke in an instant, and the whole tanuki knelt directly on the ground.
Behind it, the dozens of tanuki also lay on the ground in an instant, gasping for breath.
"Why are you kneeling? I still like the way you were unruly. Yun Ji said.
"Nope! I didn't kneel! It's just that...... It's just that I'm too tired to stand, lie down and rest......" Sanqianzang's face suddenly turned red, and he just felt that he was really losing the tanuki.
He also never expected that the spiritual pressure that this human had burst out in an instant had even overwhelmed the Yaqi Snake, and this terrifying spiritual pressure it endured head-on, and he was completely stunned when he was not careful.
"Coming here to Kyoto to work for us, the benefits are great, do you understand?" Yun Ji continued, feeling that she had finally avenged the revenge of being chased over a mountain decades ago.
"I have one condition, otherwise we will never agree!" Sanchizo said, as if it took all his strength to be able to raise his head in front of Levi's spiritual pressure.
"Say it." Levi spat out two words.
"All the tanuki present, the food is full!" Sanqian Zang made a loud voice, straightened his back, and said the most cowardly words in the most excited tone.
Levi: "??? ”
That's it?
Levi thought it was a condition, and thought that it was to ask people to erect a monument to worship them, or to ask for some body tissues of big snakes to make themselves stronger, but he didn't expect that?
Looking at Li Wei's puzzled expression, Sanqianzang suddenly chuckled in his heart, it was considering whether its own requirements would be too harsh, or it would be enough to have a sixty percent full meal for two meals a day.
"Uh...... Actually, it's okay to be sixty percent full......" Sanchizo said, his words quieter and quieter.
At this time, Levi saw the dozens of raccoon cats behind him who looked like little raccoons, and now he found that all of them were yellow and thin, and they seemed to have not eaten enough for a long time.
And according to Yun Ji's description, there seemed to be hundreds of tanuki in their tribe a few decades ago, but now there are no more than forty of them left.
"If you can solve the rat infestation in Kyoto, then all of you tanuki can come to my ninja village to carry out the work of information transmission, and each tanuki will be given an extra two stones of food for a year, plus a few catties of fish, how about it?" Levi said.
He thought that since he was ready to accept these tanuki, but no matter how he said that they were all demons, he should throw them in Ninja Village and leave them to the spider to manage.
And he also felt that it was too big to overkill the gang of people from the Ninja Village Intelligence Department who were only responsible for communicating and delivering messages every day, so that these tanuki and the night owls began to gradually take over the task of heralding.
Among ninjas, tanuki themselves are considered to be the ancestors of ninjas, so it shouldn't be difficult to get along.
However, it is necessary to let the spiders give the tanuki a good beating, and it is best to have them go to the ninja school for a few years after solving the rat infestation before coming out.
However, Li Wei can be relieved, after all, this group of tanuki is really not strong, and the three thousand treasures are only worthy of the level of a big demon, and even in terms of combat effectiveness, it is estimated that it is a shame for a big demon.
And the other tanuki are also very weak, just like the low-level samurai who have just mastered spiritual power.
Spider alone is estimated to be able to suppress all the tanuki, and if she has a hard time, she will call her little niece, and she will definitely be happy to come and beat these tanuki in her spare time.
"Is that true? Just get rid of the rats? Sanchizo suddenly became excited, "How many rats are there?" ”
"There should be hundreds of thousands." Levi estimated.
"Okay, it's a word, let's go now, let's go!" Sanqianzang was suddenly impatient and hurriedly urged.
Hundreds of thousands of mice, he estimated that he had never seen so many rats in his life, so don't care about being full, these rats can make their mouths full of oil, and they can even be dried and salted and then managed as reserve food and emergency food for many years.
It's full of rats now, and he's had enough of this place, and since the weird outbreak, there are fewer and fewer rats, and in recent years, they've had to gnaw on the bark of trees.
At this time, Yun Ji, who was lying on Li Wei's shoulder, showed a fox smile of "plan".
Levi also smiled, it was easier than expected, it seemed that the demons were also reasonable, as long as the spiritual pressure was revealed, they would be very easy to speak.
But at this time, Levi felt a shock in the other space.
"Fourth Outer God, I already feel it, Xu Fu's plan has been carried out to the last step, and now is the time when he is at his weakest." Kaguya's voice came from another dimension.
And Levi, who was originally relaxed, frowned instantly.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ji asked.
"You take them back to Kyoto, and order the samurai and dark ninjas to come to the Shendu as soon as possible, don't bring Ashigaru and lower-level samurai, let the most elite come, I will go to the Shendu alone first." Levi said.
