"What, I'm pretty good."

Kanoya held the copper chain of the incense burner, and the heavy but small and delicate copper furnace at the end was stained with blood and shook slightly.

After the leech man on the ground was smashed on the head, he completely collapsed and stopped moving.

Little Old Man No. 3 stepped forward to check on the enemy, and then raised his hand and cheered.

The enemy is dead, and this encounter is won by the eldest lady of the family.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't disgrace the master and teachers."

Kanoya breathed a sigh of relief, feeling dizzy as soon as he relaxed, and raised his hand to hold on to the trunk of a pine tree next to him.

I just used spells and control props one after another, and the consumption of spiritual power in a short period of time is very large. Although the fawn is well-equipped and has the magic of the two systems of Buddhism and incense, it is still the strength of an apprentice.

That is, relying on the advantages of her innate spirit fetus, she can play such a smooth burst operation.

"I feel that the proportion of spiritual power consumed by the release of each spell can still be optimized...... That's how I can fight for a long time. ”

Kanoya silently reviewed the battle just now in his heart, and summed up the lessons in his heart.

The victory in the first battle was very important to her.

But again, the battle was fought quite beautifully, and it didn't disgrace her master, Kamiyagawa.

What Xiaolu didn't know was that she didn't lose face in the battle just now......

In fact, her master was off the dungeon for the first time more than a year ago, and his performance was far worse than that of her apprentice, and he was beaten all over the ground by the Xiqi boys in the Hualing Trick School.

It is because of this experience that the cautious Kamiyagawa still likes to go to the novice village to find those headless high school students to feed him.

Starting from scratch, how bitter and embarrassed the generation is, Luyeya, who has been cared for by the "fathers", cannot understand it.

After a short rest, the fawn recovered.

She re-sprinkled the Zhan Tang powder on the incense burner, replaced the incense recipe with a "plum blossom" that concealed the user's breath, put away the [White-clothed Guanyin Sutra Post] and [Broad-leaved Basho] again, and took the double-barreled shotgun on the ground and carried it on her back.

After doing all this, Shikanoya went back to see the leech people on the ground.

The clothes on this monster hunter's body were somewhat familiar, and the fawn vaguely recognized who the other party was just now.

It should be the old hunter Watanabe.

Perhaps Watanabe's personal strength is a strong tier among all Matsuzawa hunters. Luyeya was the first to be discovered by him in the woods in the evening, and he used [Plum Blossom Fragrance Recipe] at night and was followed by the other party.

"Amitabha."

Kanoya clasped his hands together and bowed slightly towards the corpse whose head had collapsed on the ground and whose blue-gray body was deformed, his expression a little gloomy.

"If the old hunter Watanabe wasn't in the form of a leech man, but in human form, I probably wouldn't have been as decisive as I was to swing the incense burner and smash his head as I was just now, right?"

But the fawn didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong.

The people of Matsuzawa can't be considered human anymore, right? And they're not bad at being aggressive.

"Master is still trying to find a way to save me, and I have to be strong before he comes."

After briefly cleaning up his mood, Luyeya took the little old man No. 3 to continue exploring the mountains and forests.

She didn't dispose of Watanabe's old hunter's body, this was originally a deep mountain and old forest, and there would be no smell of her left at the scene.

……

The dim moonlight was shredded by the shade of the trees and shattered to the ground in pieces.

Everywhere there was the sad sound of an unknown summer worm, and the night and mist weaved into a large soft net that enveloped everything around them. Everywhere the eye looks, they are shrouded in this large soft net, and every grass and tree is no longer as realistic as in the daytime, and they all seem to have more blurry and ethereal colors in such an environment.

Shikanoya continued to travel in such an environment, perhaps because of the previous encounter, which gave her more confidence, but she didn't have much fear.

Around 3 a.m., she was attacked by another leech man.

But with the experience of the last time, she responded better this time.

Moreover, the strength of the second enemy does not seem to be as strong as Watanabe. Shikanoya smashed the other party's head with an incense burner, and he didn't even feel the dizziness of the excessive use of spiritual power.

After defeating the second leech, the fawn also surrendered the opponent's shotgun.

But the little old man No. 3, who had just picked up the shotgun and was alert to the surrounding situation, suddenly gave an early warning.

The pine forests at night were not calm, and it was clear that something was approaching again.

The effect of the outer lion mark that Luyeya had just fought had not faded, and his eyes shimmered at the scout: "How many are there this time?" ”

"Aba!"

Little Old Man No. 3 raised a finger, still a single target approaching.

And just as Shikanoya was taking a battle stance, she suddenly heard the howl of a beast.

"Whew-"

It's a bit of a pathetic transposition, but also a little lonely.

Terrible, desolate, and miserable.

Cry wolf.

Lu Yewu was not afraid, but was a little excited: "Little grandpa, is it the she-wolf monster that Master asked us to talk to?" ”

The scout continued to sense the fluctuations in the aura around him, then nodded quickly.

The third subject encountered tonight, with a different aura than the previous two, was definitely not Matsuzawa's leech man.

Luyeya waited for a while, and suddenly saw a warm yellow light swaying in front of him.

The light was not as dazzling as the flashlight brought by the hunter Matsuzawa that I had encountered before, but it brought a little warmth and calm, and it drew a bright gap in the mountains and forests shrouded in night, which could inexplicably give people a sense of reassurance.

"Hey! Hello? ”

Shikanoya shouted in the direction of the light.

Then I saw a beast about a meter long emerge from behind a bush not far away.

The beast had a beautiful white coat and a feminine body, and its ears were pointed and erect, and it looked alert and noble.

Like a wolf, and like a beautiful big dog.

The soft, warm light emanated from a small lantern hanging around its neck.

It's the helper that Xiaolu is looking for on this trip, yes.

I don't know why this white wolf took the initiative to appear near the Deer Wild House.

Perhaps it also sensed the strange aura of non-leech people in this area.

"Fr-——!"

The white wolf originally had no fighting intentions, but after seeing the deer field house clearly, he suddenly wrinkled his nose and puffed through his nose, with a strong intention to threaten.

At the same time, the lamp around its neck quickly went out.

Suddenly revealing its ferocious white wolf, it shook its sharp head and jaw, and a curved arc short knife with golden light flowing appeared in its mouth.

The hilt of the sword was held in its mouth, and the narrow blade of the tail stretched out, making a sonorous sound of the blade unsheathed, and the sound was crisp like a clear spring hitting a rock.

"Dog...... Dog with a sword? ”

Shikanya was stunned.

No, the other party seems to be a wolf.

And, what does it mean to fight yourself?

"Wait a minute! I'm not hostile! ”

Kanoya was anxious and waved his hand again and again.

It's bad, the master only said that he wanted to talk to the she-wolf monster as a helper, but he didn't say how to negotiate with the other party.

But tonight, Kanoya had just been taught a lesson by Kumiko Sugiura.

That Sugiura was a big liar, and he was very good at talking to people.

How did she tell me to let my guard down in the first place?

Oh, by the way, self-report.

As soon as Kumiko Sugiura came up, she told her about what happened to Shikanoya, and subconsciously made the fawn see her as an unlucky person with common difficulties.

"Well, my name is Yukino Kanoya. I came from Tokyo, and I came here after an earthquake struck me and I fell into a gap in the ground that suddenly appeared. I haven't eaten anything from Matsuzawa and I've never drunk the water here, so I'm not assimilated! ”

The fawn is now learning and selling.

In the information given by the master, it was mentioned that strange tales would also be assimilated by Matsuzawa.

The exact method of assimilation is unknown, and the master's initial guess may be that he may have stayed in Matsuzawa for too long.

And the sword-containing white wolf in front of him obviously does not belong to Matsuzawa's side, and even has a hostile relationship with Matsuzawa Hunter, and has definitely not been assimilated.

Kanoya guessed that the other party might have fallen into a gap in the ground during an earthquake, so he appeared here.

In this way, everyone is a companion in the same adversity, and there is no need to engage in fighting.

"Uh-"

The white wolf did not attack directly towards the deer house, but stayed not far away to watch, but the golden dagger in his mouth still did not disappear.

Its gaze rested on the back of Kanoya, and the two shotguns that he had just held in his hand.

This thing is only brought by the hunters of Matsuzawa.

"This?" Shikanoya understood the white wolf's vigilant gaze, and threw the two shotguns on his body aside, "This is what I captured after defeating two leech people, it's a trophy, a trophy!" ”

"Ugh!"

The white wolf continued to breathe through his mouth and nose, glanced at the leech corpse on the ground, and did not let his guard down.

Loot?

The white wolf really sensed that there was a battle here and rushed over.

On both sides of the battle, on one side were the Matsuzawa people with a strong smell of water, and on the other side the smell was imperceptible from a distance.

Originally, I thought that no matter who was fighting with the Matsuzawa people, it would have to come over and help.

Moreover, since you can fight with the people of Matsuzawa, it is likely that it is the same as other strange people who fell into Matsuzawa. If there is a rational kind, the white wolf and the other party have the possibility of cooperation.

But now it seems that it is not the same kind that appears in the mountains and forests, but a human girl, and a human girl who can defeat the leech people.

So this person is a soul slayer?

If it were an ordinary human, the white wolf would choose to save the person from the leech man and leave silently.

Half of the weird tale it belongs to is closer to humans, and the white wolf belongs to the friendly half.

But it's okay to get close to ordinary people, but not soul slayers among humans!

The white wolf had seen a soul slayer in the real world, and that experience caused it to have no good feelings for this special group of people.

The Soul Slayer it had encountered before launched an attack on it without saying a word, and finally managed to escape with great difficulty.

I obviously didn't provoke that person!

That time was just in the wilderness at night, following the man, trying to send the other person home!

even thoughtfully lit a lantern for that person!

If you don't know a good wolf heart, human soul slayer is definitely not a good thing!

"That?"

The white wolf not far away from the deer field house always kept the dagger in his mouth, standing still in place. The fawn didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he could only try to communicate with it again:

"I really don't have any ill intentions, you're trapped in Matsuzawa, right? Me too, we should be on one side. We help each other, okay? ”

"Fur ......"

"And, besides, I have a very powerful master, and he is already trying to find a way to save me. We cooperate, and as long as I can get out, I promise to take you out too. So, don't ...... Don't be so fierce, okay? ”

The fawn will not have so many negotiation skills, and the main thing is sincerity.

But knowing what is at stake is also the key to negotiation.

"Ugh!"

The white wolf was noncommittal to Shikanoya's words.

Although this human girl looks harmless to humans and animals, she has the experience of being deflated at the hands of a human spirit remover last time, so she can't be deceived by this girl's appearance casually.

But......

Will this girl really have a way to get out of this weird place?

Trapped in Matsuzawa, the white wolf, who had been isolated and helpless, shook slightly.

It continued to look at the deer field house, and then finally realized that it saw the little old man No. 3, who was only the size of a palm.

"Woohoo, woohoo!"

The scout looked at his eldest lady, and then at the dagger-wielding white wolf, and shook his hand desperately, as if to persuade the latter to calm down first.

"Huh?"

One...... Looks sane and weird about the same kind?

How did he get mixed up with the human soul slayer?

Enslaved?

"Woohoo, woohoo!"

The little old man was keenly aware of the white wolf's emotional changes, but he couldn't argue.

And Lu Yewu noticed that the white wolf seemed to care about the little grandfather, and hurriedly said:

"So you see, Master and I have a very good relationship with the weirdos. Not only the little grandfather, but there are many other strange things in my family, everyone gets along very well, and they are all a family. ”

"Aba, Aba!"

The little old man nodded desperately, testifying that what his eldest lady said was true.

At this moment, I was confused by the white wolf monster whose mind is actually quite simple, and whose heart is no more than that of Luyeya.

Strange talk about the same kind and this girl has a good relationship?

Unbelievable.

Shikanoya: "Oh, by the way, I also have a very powerful big dog at home, it's ...... Well, male. It's very handsome, if we can go out, I'll introduce you to you, okay? Really, liars are puppies. ”

The fawn seems to have grasped something.

She suddenly understood why Master had insisted that the helper she was looking for was a she-wolf......

Wolves and dogs are actually one species biologically, right?

It seems that the domestic dog is essentially a subspecies of the gray wolf, and there is no reproductive isolation between the two?

"Huh."

The white wolf shook his head and let out a snorting sound.

The golden dagger in its mouth did not dissipate immediately, and at the same time, a speechless expression appeared on its face because of listening to the deer's words.

It's hard to imagine that a wolf could have such a vivid expression on his face.

The white wolf felt that this soul slayer girl seemed to be a little different from the one he had met before who attacked him without saying a word.

How so......

She was a little naïve, with a clear stupidity.

Could she be a threat?

Or is she really someone who can work together and escape this strange place together?

Think about it.
