Another day passed.

Matsuzawa.

It was late at night, the moonlight was hazy in the distant sky, and the entire mountain forest was shrouded in darkness, and the original teeth and claws of the woods were also soaked in a dead light, depressed and powerless.

A leech man with blue-gray skin and a double-barreled shotgun is slowly moving through the area.

His muscles rose and fell, and he couldn't tell whether he was walking on his misshapen feet or squirming on other parts of his body.

After squirming forward for a while, the leech man suddenly stopped.

He let out a hoarse gasp and stood still, sensing the flow of air and the smell of it through the nose holes on his face and the watery skin on his face.

There seems to be a strange fragrance around it, like the cold wind of winter, the astringent smell of freezing on the surface of the water. But it is mixed with some more eccentric and cold temperament, just like the sound of lonely souls and wild ghosts competing for sacrifices in the frozen barren mountains and broken temples in the cold weather.

The leech man smells danger!

But it was too late.

Smack.

A curved arc knife with flowing golden light shot out from the depths of the dense forest from an unknown position.

The illusory blade tore through the air, emitting a clanging sound and stabbing into the leechman's chest.

At the same time as the blade entered the flesh, a terrible wolf howl sounded in the mountain forest.

A delicate lantern around his neck, a petite white wolf, wrapped in the ghostly astringent fragrance, flashed out of thin air, appeared at the position of the golden scimitar, and slammed the leech man down.

The scimitar nailed into the leechman's chest was caught in his mouth and flung upward.

The flesh cracked, the bones shattered, and the arc of the knife slashed into the jaw before it could be stopped, completely breaking his throat.

The faint blood with the smell of water splattered, and the leech man didn't even have time to fire his gun, and he collapsed to the ground like mud and didn't move.

"Uh-woo."

The night wolf sticks out his tongue and licks the dirt on his white hair.

The blood of the leech man smelled terrible, and the wolf had an extremely disgusted expression on his face, and after only one lick, he stopped, holding the golden scimitar, and wagged his tail and walked backwards.

"Win, this time it's so fast!" Holding the copper chain of the incense burner, Shikanoya walked out from the shade of the tree not far away, "It's too handsome to throw out the scimitar and then move directly to the scimitar's landing mark!" I know this, there are also in the anime, it's called Flying Thor! ”

"Uh-woo."

The wolf walked a little closer and shook his head.

"Oh, wait a minute." The fawn seemed to understand what the she-wolf meant, took out a handkerchief from her bag, and helped it wipe off the blood stains on her white hair, "We seem to be getting more and more tacit now, I know that our cooperation must be very good!" ”

It's really powerful to send a wolf to defeat the enemy just now, but Shikanoya also has a lot to contribute.

For example, the location of the leech man was found by the little old man No. 3. From a passive encounter to an active attack that can seize the opportunity, Scouts have contributed a lot.

Then there's the Kanoya.

Before sending the wolf away, the incense effect in the incense burner was toggled for it.

Now in her holy incense burner, the incense spark is a ghostly blue.

This is [Attendant Incense], which consists of the bottom incense of the six smoked materials sprinkled with Lingling powder.

The specific effect is to attract unrated, low-strength geyers around them, and at the cost of allowing them to eat the aroma of the "acolyte", the incense burner can temporarily drive the geist to his own use.

Calling the stars to summon ghosts and incense, the mountain charm is cold when eating.

In addition, the ghostly scent of the squire incense can also provide a certain amplification of the geisma's ability.

Although the incense is famous for its elegance, any incense spell is more or less the ability to sacrifice ghosts, after all, the birth of incense culture is inseparable from the sacrifice.

And the deer used the attendant incense just now to manipulate the spiritual power, so that the aroma directly acted on the body of the wolf.

I still remember that when Shikanoya first learned to serve incense, he thought that he would use this incense group to provide a bonus to the eight-foot adult when he was fighting. But in fact, the eight-foot appearance is an Aragami, and the enhancement of Shikanoya's incense spell is really not enough to see.

But the situation is different here when it comes to sending wolves at night.

The White Wolf's rating is actually only a D grade to the bottom of the grade, which is not particularly powerful. Therefore, the "attendant incense" cooperates with the [Holy Virtue Imperial Incense Burner] with a very high bonus to the incense spell, and the final amplitude effect is still very considerable on the body of the wolf.

The weaker the Shikigami is, the stronger it is, that's pretty much it.

After dealing with the leech man, Shikanoya and Wolf directly destroyed each other's shotguns as usual.

"I think this should be the sixteenth shotgun destroyed, Matsuzawa's weapons inventory has been consumed a lot by us."

Xiaoshan, this girl is actually quite strong in the absence of Kamiya and Eight Feet.

Late last night, she saw the corpse of Watanabe's leech in the form of a leech, and learned that there may be a big unknown secret behind the "resurrection of the dead" here in Matsuzawa. At that time, I was somewhat dazed and frightened, but I quickly adjusted.

First, they went to the agreed place to meet the wolf, and the two sides ventilated and exchanged new information.

And since last night, she has consciously hunted leeches in the mountains and forests.

Although the people of Matsuzawa are "immortal", the disarming is still effective.

The plan was just as feasible as it had been made, people couldn't be killed, and those threatening shotguns had to be destroyed.

Because last night and tonight were all under the leadership of the little old man to take the initiative, and with the help of sending wolves, the efficiency of the Qing Shui leech people is very high.

"As long as the hunter's shotguns are destroyed, and then Master instructs me to make a big move in Songzawa, the feasibility will be much improved." Shikanoya thinks so.

As for how to make a fuss, she has some plans for the time being.

The fawn plans to set fire to Matsuzawa Village as soon as the time comes.

The main place to burn is Matsuzawa's public cafeteria, and after observing it during the day, she can now almost confirm that the canteen serves as a place of religious activities in addition to the usual meals. Burn it down there, and the people of Matsuzawa will go absolutely berserk.

In addition, by taking time to investigate the situation in the village during the two days, Shikanoya also selected several other setting points, and based on the proposal of the little old man No. 3, he made several escape routes for himself.

"But...... I'm also facing other issues. One of the biggest is that there is not enough water and food. ”

Shikanoya had been in Matsuzawa for two and a half days, and the sandwich and two small breads he had brought in had been eaten, and the pot of water was only a little shallow left.

She has indeed taken a strict diet, eating less and drinking less.

And I also try to conserve my physical strength as much as possible, for example, tonight's battle is mainly to send wolves, and Luyeya is simply assisted.

But the original material reserves were too small.

"Master, you must hurry up...... Otherwise, I'll probably starve to death in Matsuzawa first......"

……

Switch the incense in the incense burner to "plum blossoms".

Under the leadership of the little old man No. 3, Luyeya sent the wolf again, and re-established himself in the mountains and forests, looking for and killing the lone leech.

After hunting three more Matsuzawa hunters, when the team was dealing with the captured shotguns, the little old man who was originally on guard suddenly gave a stir.

"Abba woohoo!"

He whispered excitedly at the feet of the deer field.

"What's the matter, little grandpa, eh...... Isn't it Master? ”

"Aba!"

The little old man nodded quickly, picked up a stone, and wrote and drew on the ground.

It seems that Kamiyagawa in the real world has come to communicate again.

[Fawn, is it okay?] ]

Looking at the crooked handwriting on the ground, Shikanoya's spirit was invigorated, and at the same time, he suddenly choked up.

But no matter what time it is, as long as you can hear the news from Master's side, it means that there is hope for everything.

Master will definitely take me out of this hellish place!

Shikanoya firmly believes so.

"I ...... I'm fine, Master. I'm your apprentice, and I won't disgrace you, hehe. ”

She wanted to smile easily, but her voice unconsciously took on a little sobbing nasal voice, and she continued:

"I found the weird talk alliance that Master asked me to find, and it was to send wolves. We are now partners in action. Also, the leech people on Matsuzawa's side, I don't know why, they can't die. Although the corpse will be left after being killed, it will inexplicably return to Matsuzawa Village the next day with a new body...... We destroyed a lot of shotguns in the village, and then ......"

Kanoya simply informed Kamiya of the new information he had obtained in the past two days.

[You're doing a great job, fawn.] Hold on a little longer, and I'll get you out tomorrow. ]

"Uh-woo."

The wolf on the side came over a little curiously, looked at the little old man writing on the ground, and then looked at the deer field house who was trying to suppress his emotions.

The words on the ground, the wolf knows some of them.

So...... Kanoya Yukino really has a master, and her master is really planning to rescue her from Matsuzawa?

She didn't lie?

The little old man continued to write—

[Tomorrow at 15:30, the people in the countermeasure room and I will officially start the crusade against the earthquake catfish, and it is expected that it will take more than ten minutes to kill the earthquake catfish.] So during that time, you have to act in sync as well. ]

"I see, Master."

[You wear a watch, right?] Let's take a look at the time. ]

Kanoya has a small quartz watch on his left wrist, and it is still spinning after entering Matsuzawa.

The master and apprentice checked the time on both sides, and there was no mistake.

[Fawn, I know you've worked hard.] Leave it to me after that, and you'll be fine, don't worry. When you come back, I'll take you to kaiseki cuisine. ]

"Uh-huh!"

The fawn raised his hand and rubbed his reddened eyes.

I don't know why, obviously everything was fine just now, but seeing the master's message being transmitted, Shikanoya suddenly felt so wronged.

However, now is not the time to be coquettish to Master.

She had to be a little stronger.

This time, the communication was mainly to check the time of the operation.

In addition, Kamiya also informed the disciples of some other information that he had newly obtained, Matsuzawa, as well as speculations about leeches and eight hundred bhikshunis.

Communication then dropped.

Kanoya and the wolf gave her plan of action for tomorrow, and it was not too early to finish everything, and she almost had to return to Matsuzawa Village.

So far, the fawn and the wolf have destroyed a total of nineteen shotguns and hidden one.

There should be only one or two hunters in Matsuzawa Village who still have guns.

And these are probably going to be hard to find tonight.

This can only be the case first.

Tomorrow is the decisive battle, and the wolf will also appear in Matsuzawa Village at five o'clock in the afternoon. With it, the only thing that a shotgun should not pose much of a problem.

"Then send the wolf, I'll go back first, and let's cheer up together tomorrow."

Shikanoya said goodbye to his wolf companion.

"Huh."

The wolf gracefully sat down on the ground and nodded.

Shikanoya took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around again, pounced on the wolf, wrapped his arms around its petite torso, and buried his face in the soft white fur of its neck.

"Fur ......"

The white she-wolf resisted a little, but after all, she didn't take the initiative to break free.

Although with its ability, the intimate act of breaking away from Shikanoya is as easy as a snap.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow Master will rescue us all. When the time comes, I will see my master and family again, and you can meet my mighty big dog, I promise! ”

"Whew......"

Sure enough, it's a strange girl.

I've never agreed to meet your big dog, have I?

How could a noble wolf take a fancy to a domesticated dog?

The wolf was a little speechless, but he took the initiative to gently touch the earlobe of Lu Yeya's right ear with the tip of his wet nose.

It's a little weird, but in my heart, I don't hate this soul killer girl.

……

Bid farewell to the deer field house and send the wolf to pacing alone in the mountains and forests.

The lantern hanging from his neck swayed.

The mountain forest of Matsuzawa is still very large, although the edge of this mountain forest is the cliff that the axe cut by the axe has sent wolves to arrive, but the whole mountain forest has not been explored.

In the past two days, except for some operations to attack the enemy at night, during the day, Shikanoya usually investigated and collected information in Matsuzawa Village, and sent wolves around the mountains and forests to see if there were any noteworthy clues.

As I walked, the sky obscured by the branches and leaves of the trees was already white, but the fog in the mountains and forests was a little thicker.

The wolf plans to find a safe place to rest for a while nearby, although the strange talk does not need much rest, but it is still necessary to recharge for the decisive battle in the afternoon.

At that moment, it heard the sound of rushing water.

The water in Matsuzawa is not drinkable, and it doesn't need to be drunk as a strange story.

However, following the sound of the water, the wolf smelled a familiar smell, the smell of water on the leech man.

It took a few more steps forward, and found itself on a steep slope that was still in the middle of the forest, and beneath the steep cliff was not the terrifying mist of the outermost part of the forest, but a dark deep pool.

On the edge of the cliff, there is water flowing down into the pool.

The surrounding scene of the waterhole is strange, and the cracks in the earth are scattered and scattered, crumbling in all directions like cracks in the ice. The trees were also staggered and broken, like the marks left by a giant python crawling over the grass.

"Uhh

The wolf twitched his nose slightly, looking towards the center of the dark pool below.

There seemed to be a black thing floating there, with a strange gurgling sound from time to time...... (End of chapter)
