At the door, the extended version of the luxury car is already waiting.

Haruhiko looked back and realized that it was a hotel.

But the décor is quite old.

There is also a sign on the wall that says it is closed.

Using the hotel as a prison cell, the effect of hiding people's ears is estimated to be quite good.

After getting into the car, Haruhiko let out a sigh.

Facing Teru Morikawa, although he is not worried about his life, he is worried that he will find out, causing the plan to fall short.

Fortunately, the snake god is enough to bluff people.

If it is not a game plug-in, under normal circumstances, there will be no outsiders who will be able to snake gods.

So much so that Yaki Orochi himself did not perceive the problem.

"What's next?"

Haruhiko asked.

"Although you have been fooled for the time being, after a long time, Teru Morikawa will definitely react."

Tsuchigomon Mahaku said in a serious tone, "We don't know if he still has the means, so we have to hurry." ”

"It is very difficult to exterminate the snake spirit, just with the Tuyumen clan."

Tuyumen Mari clasped his hands to his chest and said, "I need to notify the Great Imperial Office, but the snake spirit penetrates deeply, and it is very likely to startle the snake." ”

"Just inform the fifteen current heads of the Psionic Council."

Tuyumen Mahaku thought for a moment and said, "This can minimize the detection of the true purpose by the snake spirit, if they even have a rebellion against these fifteen family masters, then we will not lose unjustly." ”

"It's better to put the location at the Takamagaha Ruins."

Tsuchigomon Mari said with a light smile, "Even if there are people with snake spirits, they won't be able to return to the ground to deliver the news in a short time. ”

"That's a good idea."

Tsuchigomon Mahaku nodded in agreement, and said, "But it's better to have the support of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, not the Tsuchigomon clan." ”

"Using the secret of Kaneda and Teru Morikawa's collaboration as a threat?"

Tsuchigomon Masuri raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Not proper."

Tsuchigomon Mahaku shook his head and said, "We don't know what kind of cooperation they have now, and what their relationship is. ”

"Then summon on the grounds that the Dogomon clan has discovered the remains of the gods."

Tsuchigomon Mari quickly gave another plan.

"That's all there is to it."

Tsuchigomon Mahaku pondered for a moment, and found that there was no better reason, so he agreed.

If you hold a meeting at the Takamagahara ruins, you will find the ruins that are the most appropriate.

Seeing that the two of them had done things in a few words, Haruhiko couldn't help but sigh with emotion, worthy of being a battle-hardened boss.

If it were him, it wouldn't be so crisp.

Therefore, his thoughts are still the same as before, focusing on improving his strength.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Haruhiko."

Tsuchigomon's gaze fell on Haruhiko's face.

In order to avoid being noticed by Teru Morikawa, she and Tsuchigoto Mari actually did not monitor.

Instead, wait for the results not far outside.

Because it was too long, she even thought about going to check, but she was stopped by Tsuchigomon Mari.

"It's a matter of effort."

Haruhiko waved his hand and smiled.

Actually, it's really not that difficult.

The biggest credit is the snake god, which is his game plug-in.

He's going through the motions.

"That's a lot of words, but without you, we wouldn't have been able to get such valuable information."

A smile spread across Tsuchigomon's face.

Although she was covered by a veil, she could still see in her eyes that she was in a good mood.

The snake spirit, since it broke out, has caused them a lot of trouble.

No one wants to see an organization doing things in front of them all day.

Now that there is a chance to eradicate it, it is naturally a matter of joy to be happy.

"Originally, I was going to drink and hunt the ruins in two days, but now I can only run aground temporarily."

Tsuchigomon Mahaku said with some pity.

Haruhiko was slightly stunned, but he could understand.

Attacking the snake spirit headquarters, time is pressing, it can be described as a rare opportunity, and it cannot be missed.

And the relics of drinking and hunting will not run.

But it's still a bit risky.

After all, Ashiya Michiman is not dead.

He will definitely take back the Nine Swords of the Gods, but he doesn't know when.

"There's no need to delay."

Tsuchigomon Mari looked at Haruhiko and said, "Yukihime is now a fifth-order, plus Jinguji Winter Palace, you can explore alone." ”

"But ......"

Haruhiko just wanted to say that this ruin was a collaboration between the Tsuchigomon clan and the Utsunomiya clan, but was interrupted.

"I know what you're trying to say."

Tuyumen Zhenli's red lips opened slightly, "But in terms of value, the snake spirit headquarters is more than the relics of drinking and hunting." ”

The snake spirit, over the years, has been infiltrating the Edo Archaeological Bureau and has fished a lot of treasures in the Takamagahara ruins.

Although a handful of drinks and hunts is worth a fortune, it only has one.

"Not bad."

Tuyumen Mahaku also agreed, and said, "If it is late, there will be changes, and the nine swords of the gods cannot fall into the hands of outsiders." ”

"That's good."

Haruhiko hesitated, stopped being pretentious, and agreed.

However, he looked at Tsuchigomon Mari, still surprised and strange.

She actually took the initiative to mention Yukihime and asked her to explore the ruins.

It was really puzzling to him.

Tsuchigomon Mari noticed his eyes, just smiled and didn't say anything.

Haruhiko got off the bus at the University of Tokyo's South Park.

The two of them have things to do, so they can't take care of him.

Before leaving, Tsuchigomon Mari gave him the Tsukizun Monogatari.

Haruhiko watched the two men leave.

He turned and entered the living room.

But I didn't see Yukihime.

Haruhiko's face changed slightly.

Did she go to the Seventh Forbidden Zone again?

Thinking about it, he sent a message on his phone.

If you are in a restricted area, you will not receive it.

But soon, he got a reply.

"I'm out grocery shopping and I'll be right back."

Haruhiko suddenly understood that he had misunderstood.

The so-called concern is chaos.

Probably.

After waiting for half an hour, there was a knock at the door.

Haruhiko immediately got up.

The door was opened.

Yukihime is holding the food in both hands, and she is no different from a housewife.

It stands to reason that she could be put in a storage tool.

But she didn't.

"Welcome home."

Haruhiko stepped forward and took the dish.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Yukihime takes off her white trench coat, revealing her knit and black tights.

She shook her long silver hair, and the mature charm suddenly became more obvious.

"I'll tell you something."

Haruhiko admired her bending over to take off her shoes.

"You put the dishes in the kitchen, and we'll talk slowly."

Yukihime smiled softly and said.

Haruhiko nodded, turned and went to the kitchen.

After putting the dishes away, I made two more glasses of lemonade and brought them out.

"Say it."

Yukihime took a sip of lemonade.

The red lips look even more seductive.

"It's a ruin."

Haruhiko has nothing to hide from Yukihime.

It just so happened that Jinguji Winter Palace was also there.

He said it all at once.

"Yaki Orochi?"

Xue Ji was a little distracted when she heard this.

Although she was already a fifth-order, she was still far from the legendary gods.

Not to mention the famous evil gods such as the Yaqi Orochi.

Jinguji Winter Palace is much calmer.

When she was at Inari Shrine, she knew that the ruins of Takamagahara were the tombs of the gods.

I just didn't think it was the Yaki Orochi.

"Sister Mari has already determined the location of the drinking and hunting, but recently the Tuyumen clan has something to do and can't be separated."

Haruhiko said his purpose, "I want you to go with me this time." ”

"Looking for me now?"

Yukihime gave him a blank look and said, "It's so dangerous, you should have told me a long time ago." ”

Haruhiko laughed.

Mainly because it involved the Tuyumen clan, so he didn't tell it in time.

But it's not too late.

"Leave tomorrow."

Yukihime's spirit was shocked, and she said, "It's about the gods, and I'm quite interested. ”

Today's era is not as good as a thousand years ago, with traces of various gods.

Now he is a god hermit, and as a fifth-order psionic person, he has the desire to advance.

And that hope depends on the gods.

Jinguji Winter Palace also raised his head.

She is an envoy of the god Inari, but she has never actually met the god.

It was gone by then.

Her curiosity is no less.

In particular, she is more urgent to advance than Yukihime.

Although a breakthrough has been found for Haruhiko, the progress is slow after all.

"Yes."

Haruhiko nodded, and said, "White Frost should go too, she might be able to help." ”

Yukihime doesn't have any opinions.

Her attention was on Yaki Orochi.

When the matter is negotiated, the rest of the time is daily cultivation.

A new day.

Haruhiko asked her senior sister Kaoru Aizawa for leave early, and set off with Yukihime.

The remains of drinking and hunting are on the banks of the Fii River.

Coincidentally, it is also in Shimane Prefecture.

The headquarters of the snake spirit is in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture.

However, there is still some distance between the two.

Haruhiko doesn't have to worry about affecting the Tugomon clan.

Because Shimane Prefecture is far away.

The two of them and one fox used the teleportation array of the Earth Imperial Gate Clan.

On the way, Haruhiko also asked Tsuchigomon Mari how the situation was now.

They had already sent a message to the fifteen heads of the family, received a reply, and in the afternoon they could summon a meeting at the Takamagahara-based ruins.

Shimane Prefecture's Fii River.

It is a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing.

More than 800 cherry trees are planted on both banks.

Fortunately, now is not the season to bloom, and there are not too many pedestrians.

Haruhiko and Yukihime follow the riverbank towards their destination.

As you go deeper, the scenery becomes more pristine.

Eventually, they stopped.

"That's what the map shows."

Haruhiko looked at the wide river in front of him and said.

The point of the Moon Venerable Monogatari is an approximate range, and it cannot be pinpointed.

Now you can only rely on Yukihime and Jinguji Winter Palace.

Haruhiko, quite self-aware.

He couldn't help much.

"I'll try."

Yukihime walked to the river, crouched down, and then stretched out her fingers and sank into the water.

Then there was a surge of spiritual energy, and everywhere it passed, there were faint ice crystals.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Jinguji Winter Palace.

She just closed her eyes.

No psionic fluctuations are detected.

In this regard, her strength is stronger than Yukihime.

Haruhiko looked around.

With his strength, he naturally can't see anything.

He thought, "I can't do it, so I'll have to ask about the fish in the river."

But it's hard to estimate.

The time when drinking and hunting was buried was thousands of years ago.

The fish in the river, if they could live for so long, would have been monsters a long time ago and left here.

Fortunately, the two fifth-order psionics were not jealous.

The reason why no one found it in the past was because no one knew that there were ruins underground, and there would be no fifth-order psionics who were bored to explore.

"There's an anomaly on the wall on the left side of the river."

Yukihime got up and spoke.

Jinguji Dongyu also nodded.

"Let's go down."

Haruhiko said immediately.

Yukihime raised her hand, and the psionic energy formed a shield, enveloping them, and then slowly sinking into the water.

After a few seconds, they stopped.

The wall in front of him was covered with aquatic weeds and silt, and there was nothing special about it.

Yukihime waved her hand.

The psionic impact revealed the door in the depths.

Haruhiko recognized it at a glance, it was the same as what he had seen in the Takamagahara-bara ruins before.

That being the case, the way it opens should be the same.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and smeared it on the door.

Sure enough, I found a faint bulge.

He covered it with psionic energy, and immediately a line of words appeared.

It's the serpent god.

Shout the name of our Lord.

"When you go in later, it should be a fantasy."

Haruhiko reminded.

Both Yukihime and Jinguji Fuyugo had heard him say about the illusion of Mt. Ibuki last time, so they immediately understood what he was talking about.

Fifth-order psionics are prepared, and they are naturally extremely safe.

Haruhiko said in the serpent god: "Ibukiyama Damyojin." ”

The marble-like door suddenly flickered and opened to both sides.

What catches your eye is a deep tunnel.

Haruhiko was about to walk in, but was stopped by Yukihime.

"Follow me."

She stepped forward slightly, and the first person stepped in.

Haruhiko looked at her back, and the secret path was different from last time.

Last time, I was teleported directly to Mt. Ibuki.

But not this time.

The river is cut off from the outside and is quite dry inside.

They made their way down the dimly lit tunnel.

The muddy yellow soil on both sides is not too special.

After walking for a while, the scenery changed.

The road in front of him suddenly disappeared and turned into a cliff.

And below is the waterfall.

"Is that a hunt?"

Yukihime pointed to the river in the distance.

A sword is levitating.

"It's that simple?"

Haruhiko felt a little incredible, it was too smooth.

But when I think about it, it's excusable.

If you want to find Drink and Hunt, you must first get the Moon Venerable Story.

It is self-evident where the most dangerous traps are set.

Under normal circumstances, it is Ashiya Michiman who gets the story of the Moon Venerable and then comes here to look for drinking and hunting.

Then there is no need to set any more dangers in this way.

After all, you can't find it without the Moon Venerable Story, and you can't get in without the Snake God Language.

"Be careful."

Yukihime didn't notice anything unusual, but she still didn't let her guard down.

She raised her hand, used her spiritual energy, turned into a flying carpet, and let the two of them become a fox, gradually descending.

Below the waterfall is a dark river that stretches out.

But there is no riverside to stay on.

Both sides are covered with towering walls.

Yukihime stretched out her hand, ready to pick it up.

That's when the mutation occurred.

The river exploded and splashed.

A huge shadow descended, and I saw a python with its mouth open and coming towards Yukihime.

Fourth order.

Yukihime reacted immediately, clenching her fists, and the ice crystals were wrapped like fist gloves.

Bang.

The python fell backwards.

The irresistible force smashed blood flowers on its head.

Blood stained the surface of the river.

But it still didn't die.

A pair of eyes widened and stared at Yukihime.

"It's not an ordinary Fourth Order."

Yukihime shook her fist and shook off the blood stains on it.

She didn't bother with the python that didn't stop, but caught the drink and hunt again.

Suddenly, the blade trembled, and a figure emerged.

Haruhiko immediately recognized that it was Ashiya Michimitsu.
