Haneda Shrine is located in Ota Ward, Tokyo, and since it was built during the Shogunate period, it has a large area of land in the city. However, how did those good men and women who went to worship every day think that this shrine had been occupied by a group of monsters for a long time?

Leaving the hut where they were hiding, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach their destination.

The tranquil shrine stands in the night, without a single light, and from a distance it looks like a bunch of strange beasts. The gate was closed, and a piece of "idler-free" wood hung high, gently swaying in the night breeze. The woods outside the shrine are eerily quiet, and if it weren't for the occasional honking of car horns on the nearby road, it would have been difficult to forget that this place was in the middle of the city.

A long staircase leads to the interior of the shrine, and the red sacred tree at the entrance is tall and large, and the mana entangled in it can be clearly felt even from a long distance. Ordinary monsters, it's also delusional to be close to each other.

"No wonder they say that the world has changed, and even monsters can use this thing to guard the gate." Twitching his nose and feeling the dangerous aura in the air, Zhang Lie said sneeringly.

"It's just a pile of rubbish." Anne took it to her attention and walked straight over: "In 5 seconds, I'll turn it into a pile of rotten wood." ”

Although the main purpose of tonight was to make trouble, Zhang Lie still didn't want to be so blatant, in fact, before the stalemate was reached, he still had the intention of directly rescuing Blatter. So he took a step forward and grabbed Anne, Zhang Lie squeezed his eyes at her: "Wouldn't it be better to go in and surprise them?" ”

As he spoke, he flicked his right hand and walked up to Shenmu: "Just let me try how good the new guy is." ”

A dull light and shadow swept through the end of his arm, and Zhang Lie had slowly reached out and pressed towards the center of the divine tree. With a soft snort, a bit of electricity suddenly flashed from the point of contact between his fingertips and the divine tree, intertwining and flashing, and there was a great tendency to explode in full force.

With a sharp gaze, Zhang Lie's palm opened a crack violently, and before the current could even flash a bright light, it was sucked in by the crack in his palm, and there was no movement. As his right hand invaded the center of the Divine Tree little by little, a circle of incantations suddenly appeared in the void, but before it could be unfolded, it was absorbed by the crack like a rag, and the enchantment attached to the Divine Tree was completely swallowed.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and there was no movement at all except for the glimmer of light when the current had just exploded. Zhang Lie looked at his restored right hand with great relief: "The hard work of eating this thing is not in vain, it seems that even the formation enchantment that I am not good at can be easily broken in the future." ”

Breaking through the barrier, the two silently sneaked into the interior of the shrine, and in the distance, there was a large area of uneven demonic energy with the faint noise, and the number of them was afraid that there were hundreds.

Glancing at each other, Zhang Lie and Anne flashed towards the woods next to the stairs in unison, and disappeared into the darkness in the forest. Using their keen spiritual sense, the two of them cautiously walked through the dark forest, constantly approaching the main hall of the shrine at the top.

Suddenly, Anne, who was bowing and marching, waved her hand violently, and Zhang Lie also stopped at the same time. There was silence all around, and there was no abnormality in the quiet darkness, but Anne stared ahead vigilantly, and the purple-red pupils in her eyes continued to retract slightly.

With the Harpy's incomparable night vision, she could clearly see between the trees in front of her, large swaths as thin as hair, entwined with filaments of the same color as the darkness, completely sealing off the path.

With an eyebrow raised, Zhang Lie made an inquiring expression to Anne. Constricting her vocal cords, Anne condensed the sound waves from the exit into a line and penetrated directly into Zhang Lie's ear, explaining to him the abnormality ahead.

His brows furrowed slightly, Zhang Lie already understood what it was, it was Japan's native demon earth spider. The silk it spits out is thinner than spider silk, but tougher than steel wire, sharp as a knife, and once a person touches it, he often doesn't feel it, and his body has been cut open. This kind of silk will change color with the environment, and it will not reflect light, it is almost completely invisible, if it were not for Anne's eyesight, others would not have wanted to notice.

If that's all right, the most troublesome thing is that the slightest touch of these filaments will alarm the soil spiders hiding nearby, and the two of them will inevitably be discovered in their infiltration plans.

In order to reach the shrine safely, you must pass through the earth spider level. Unlike the barrier at the door, this kind of "biovigilance net" is sometimes more tricky, at least Zhang Lie can't solve it silently with Sauron.

But this naturally didn't bother him, raising his hand to signal Anne to wait for a while, Zhang Lie squatted down and pressed his palm on the ground. Closing his eyes and concentrating, he was like a tiger before predation, and he undoubtedly collected all the movements in the forest in his heart.

At first, there was nothing unusual, but suddenly, a slight tremor stimulated the nerves in his palm. Zhang Lie smiled, he naturally knew very well that it was the vibration caused by the heartbeat of the earth spider hidden underground.

It was almost impossible to capture this negligible tremor, and Zhang Lie had already speculated about the location of the unearthed spider's hideout. Gesturing to Anne, he gestured somewhere in front of his left.

The cooperation between the two was extremely tacit, Zhang Lie didn't have to speak, Anne already knew what to do. Stretching her foot on the ground a little, she leaped up as she drew her bow and arrows, like arrows from an eagle's beak pointing downwards.

Silently, the filaments in front of them also let out a slight tremble, which was actually driven by the breeze that Anne jumped up to break through the air, which showed how sharp these filaments were. The earth spider hiding underground quickly picked up this information, and it immediately pulled the filament to sound the alarm, but unfortunately it was too late.

As soon as his fingers loosened, the bowstring that reached the full moon immediately sent the arrow out, straight into the ground. The trembling filaments suddenly stopped, and the forest was still as deep and quiet as ever, not even a trace of the breeze, but the tense murderous aura hidden in the darkness had quietly dissipated.

One hit kills.

invariably breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Zhang Lie and Anne were also quite nervous. The two were about to continue walking, but Zhang Lie suddenly grabbed Annie: "It's too dangerous to go over so rashly, I'll go over to find out the situation first." ”

"How?" Anne asked in surprise.

"Hey, I have my own way." Smile at Anne, he's already in action.

Sneaking over, Zhang Lie grabbed the filament and pulled the corpse of the earth spider out with a pull. It was a black spider the size of a tabletop, covered with short hairs like a steel brush, and a black arrow piercing through the vest.

"Possession?" Anne also knew a little bit about Eastern magic, and when she saw Zhang Lie pull out the corpse of the unearthed spider, she already understood what he wanted to do.

Nodding, Zhang Lie had already pulled out the black arrow and threw it aside: "The remaining demonic qi on its corpse can well isolate my breath, it should be no problem to mix in, you wait for me here first." ”

This method is indeed only available to Zhang Lie, Anne is good at fighting, but she rarely knows this kind of trick. Hearing this, she nodded, and then stood aside and looked at Zhang Lie Shiwei.

Just as he was about to possess it, Zhang Lie suddenly said to himself: "No, you have to find out what it looked like when it became a human first..."

Before Zhang Lie finished speaking, he felt a chill behind him, and a sweet voice had come into his ears: "Brother Zhang Lie, do you want my help?" ”

With a gentle smile, Zhang Lie pulled Xiaoyu in front of him with his backhand: "You are really getting more and more sensible." ”

Hugging Zhang Lie's neck, Xiao Yu put a pretty face on his cheek, and said coquettishly: "Brother Zhang Lie, I haven't had a chance to come out these days, suffocate me." ”

Zhang Lie slapped her on the cheek: "Okay, okay, don't be coquettish, do things quickly." ”

After kissing Zhang Lie's mouth, Xiaoyu turned her face to Anne and said, "Sister Anne, are you okay?" ”

Facing Xiao Yu, even Anne, a smile bloomed on her cold face. Nodding to Xiaoyu, she said in a slightly stiff and gentle tone, "It's not bad." ”
