Chapter 35: Fantasy Wind Cave
"Here we are."
"Is this the Wind Cave?"
Although the two of them had not yet approached, a cold air had already hit their faces, and from the air, the huge cave on the ground could already be clearly seen.
As if hollowing out the belly of the hill, the huge cavern was inexplicably intimidating, and the thought that the end of the cavern was connected to the old hell deepened even more.
"Be careful, we're going down."
Little by little, Reimu began to lower in height, and although they hadn't seen Marisa and the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine until now, it never hurt to be careful.
"Strange, why no one?"
Falling to the ground, Reimu squinted his eyes and looked around, there were indeed traces of battle here, whether it was the chaotic spiritual aura in the air, and the remnants of these spells proved it.
But the strange thing is that neither Marisa nor the shrine maiden who guards the Ya Shrine are gone, is it the end of the work?
Reimu squatted down and grabbed a handful of loess with his hand, and after kneading it in his hand, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge wind hole in front of him:
"Did you go in...... Tsk, I can't help it. ”
Taking out the imperial coin with his right hand and removing the spirit rune with his left hand, Reimu took the lead and took a step towards the entrance of the Wind Cave:
"Let's go, Takeya, let's go in."
"Huh? Oh. ”
Reimu is an expert in retreating from the treatment of mutations, and Wu Ye naturally has no opinion on her decision, so he put away his curious gaze around him, and he followed Reimu in three or two steps, and walked into the fantasy wind cave together.
The wind cave is bottomless, gloomy and damp, there is no light, and the more you go inside, the more people feel panicked, but fortunately, Reimu used spiritual power to ignite the spirit rune for lighting, so that they would not be able to move an inch.
Anyway, the spirit rune can still be used like this, it seems that this spirit rune must be worthless to make, otherwise how could Reimu be so wasteful.
Talking about Reimu's slamming the door, at this time Takeshi finally remembered Marisa's goodness, at least that guy is half a local tyrant, even if he can't take out a flashlight or something, there are always lanterns, right?
No, she's a magician, so wouldn't it be nice to use gems for lighting? Wait, she doesn't seem to know how to do gem-based magic.......
"Takeya, what are you thinking?"
Reimu turned around and found that Wu Ye had fallen behind a lot, and he didn't know where he was with his head down.
"Hurry up, if you get lost here, I won't go back to look for you."
"Got it, got it."
Silently putting aside the complaints in his head, Wu also hurriedly responded twice to keep up with Reimu.
"Don't be too foolish, the further you go, the narrower the wind hole becomes, but it's also easier to get lost."
"Understood."
The two of them walked in unison and walked in again, the stalactites on their heads dripping from time to time, occasionally falling on their bodies, causing a wave of vigilance.
Strange to say, since this place is called the Wind Cave, it is naturally because there will be a strong wind blowing out of it, and the wind is so strong that it is difficult for them to hear each other's voices, but the dew of the stalactites above their heads falls straight down without being affected.
Sure enough, it's Gensokyo, and strange things always refresh his worldview.
Da-da-da.
"Huh?"
The sound from under his feet made Wu Ya's body stagnate, he seemed to have touched something, and only found out through the light of the spirit rune he got from Reimu that he had accidentally kicked a wooden barrel.
Wait, what the hell is a barrel? Why is there such a "high-end" thing as a barrel in this one that is not even a torch in a hole?
"What's wrong? Takeya? ”
In order to avoid Wu Ye, who was fighting five scumbags, from dying in the middle of the road, the two walked close to each other one after the other, so Wu Ye immediately noticed it as soon as he stopped Reimu.
"Hey, Reimu, come and see, if this is an antique, I found a barrel."
"You're really stupid, aren't you? Don't think that you can take anything you pick up in Gensokyo as an antique, and it's a wooden barrel, you ......"
Reimu, who was despising Takeya, suddenly froze, and she walked to Takeya's side and looked carefully at the barrel in front of her, the expression on her face was indescribably weird.
"Wu Ye, I wonder if this is really an antique."
"Huh? It's true? ”
Wu Ye's eyes lit up and asked in disbelief, but his tone inevitably brought a hint of anticipation.
"yes, yes."
Reimu looked at him with a smile and said:
"This thing is definitely an old thing, because I just found out that this barrel seems to be a monster."
"Nani ......"
Wu Ye looked at the wooden barrel in front of him in a daze, and after about three seconds, he withdrew his hand like lightning and decisively withdrew ten steps away:
"It's up to you! Hakurei shrine maiden! Use the skill rune "Dream Seal"! ”
"Give me death! Am I your pet or something! ”
Reimu angrily threw a spirit rune at Takeya, slapping him in the face and making him speechless.
"Really, I'm good at lip service, but why does the guts always look like this?"
Sighing, Reimu looked at Wu Ye and said with hatred:
"Come and see clearly, this is indeed a monster, but it has no combat power."
"Huh? Is that so? ”
Wu Ye, who was originally going to pretend to be dead on the ground, suddenly ripped off the spirit talisman on his face and jumped up, ran to the edge of the barrel and kicked it lightly with his foot.
"There's really no response."
"It's easy to spot if you look closely, isn't it?"
Reimu reluctantly put down the imperial coin, and set the barrel in his free hand, and a green-haired girl in a white kimono was curled up in the small space.
If it was usual, Wu Ye would definitely be taken aback by this obviously weird shape, but now the girl seems to be in a state of fainting, no matter how Reimu pokes her face with the imperial coin, she doesn't react.
Since there was no harm, Wu Ye naturally had no reason to be afraid, he stepped forward and pulled the girl's hair, and pinched her face:
"This is actually a monster, too, and it doesn't look very powerful."
"It's really not powerful, it's better to say that it's weak and pitiful."
Reimu made an objective evaluation of the youkai for a rare time:
"It seems that this youkai should be a hanging bottle demon, the kind of little youkai who likes to hide in dark places such as wells or caves and drop ghost fires."
"How do you feel so casual, bringing a wooden barrel is a hanging bottle."
"That's just the way it is."
Reimu crouched down and briefly examined the traces of the battle on the Hanging Bottle Demon:
"This was knocked unconscious, and she should have been treated by someone like this."
Because fighting with youkai is already commonplace, Reimu easily judged the situation of the youkai in front of him.
"It's either the shrine maiden who guards the Ya Shrine or Marisa, it looks like we're going to move on, let's go, Takeya."
"Yes, yes."
