Zhang Su and Katy walked together.

The "Wall of Dongzhou" project stands more than 40 miles away, and from a distance, only the black wall stands tall, isolating the gate of hell.

It was a 50-meter-high wall, so impregnable that over the years demons had ventured through the walls and roamed around Mt. Kagura.

The traces of the demon loomed, and Zhang Su was cautious.

Three materials are required to complete the Breaking Ceremony. He thought to himself. The vertebrae of beasts that are more than a hundred years old, the blood of dragons, and the soul of dragons.

The dragon is hard to find, but there must be the spine of an ancient beast in Mt. Kagura.

A barbed wire fence suddenly appeared in the forest, indicating that the "forbidden area" of Mt. Kagura was ahead.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Su's heart moved.

On the rusty barbed wire, Zhang Su looked at a broken notice:

"Stop ahead! Known as 'Okuma', the monster wild bear is infested, and has attacked people and animals many times, causing more than 70 deaths, the situation is extremely serious, please return as soon as possible, stay away from any abnormal noise, hereby warn!

Kusuke Kobayashi

Gozen Town Office

Heisei 3 June 11 set "

The person who made this notice, "Kobayashi Kusuke", is the grandfather of the current mayor Kobayashi Kiharu, and judging by the date, he is a figure from 60 years ago.

"Kati, the one ahead is the object of our hunt this time, an ancient bear named 'Oguma' has been doing evil on Mount Kagura for hundreds of years, killing and injuring countless people." Zhang Su said.

After all these years, Oguma may have died, but there are still recoverable ancient beast backbones on its remains.

"Roar......" Katy crawled through the huge gap in the middle of the barbed wire.

Zhang Su saved 40 million yen in his previous life to buy one from a secret channel. Later, I found out that there was such a beast in Mt. Kagura, and this time I could save a sum of money and come to find Oguma in person.

In addition, she can hone Katy's hunting skills and activate her instincts and memories.

Katy's claws trampled the earth and strutted with his head held high.

After dozens of minutes of tracking in the forest, she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Su asked, and Katy hurried to a glade.

The sight was shocking, like a slaughterhouse.

In the clearing ahead, countless deer, pheasants, rabbits, and wild cats were slaughtered, and their remains were still fresh, probably killed a few hours ago. Among them were several wolves, whose throats were completely severed. Mosquitoes and flies are infested all around, buzzing and annoying.

Cruelty.

"This ......" Zhang Su observed carefully, and the bloody aura was thick, making him frown.

"That beast ......" Katie let out a low growl, assuming that another beast was nearby.

"Not necessarily, something is wrong...... Zhang Su felt wrong.

He jumped off Katie's back and carefully opened the wound of one of the deer, the scratches neat and smooth, as if they had been cut with a sharp weapon.

If it had been a beast with its claws or teeth, it would not have been possible to leave such a diamond-shaped wound with straight edges.

"It seems that there are demons who deliberately grab such a large group of animals and then kill them at the same time, which is why they are so messy, the purpose is to collect souls." Zhang Su looked around.

"Demon ......," Katie felt particularly disgusted, "a little smell...... But hidden. ”

Is the smell of demons weak? Zhang Su speculated that the demon hid when he committed the murder, or used a means of cover-up.

"There is not only a beast on the mountain, but also a demon, and the killing of these beasts is entirely to suck their souls." Zhang Su turned his head and patted Katy's neck.

“…… Enemy...... Kill. Katy muttered.

Now there are two enemies.

One is Okuma, an unknown beast in the native mountains, and the other is an unknown type of demon.

At dusk.

Kati tracks down Okumar's lair.

The gore is even stronger here, and the terrifying man-eating bear is here.

Katie is eager to try and get ready for the hunt.

She felt her magic alive like never before, the most exuberant and scorching in years, activated by the wild environment, and she couldn't wait to hunt her prey.

The stench of animals wafted from the wind.

"Here we are." Katie lifted her head.

Zhang Su also picked up his sniper rifle and prepared to assist in the hunt, and Guanshi Futu put it aside.

A huge figure crawled out of the cave in front of them, and the moment they saw it, Zhang Su and Katy were both vigilant.

It stood up from afar, like a giant.

Okuma!

Zhang Su's hand holding the gun was even harder.

At this point, he couldn't see the memory line on it, because the bear was dead!

At least 5 meters tall, the Okuma is larger than a car, and the most terrifying thing is that its skin, which seems to have been cut out of a grave.

The skin is rotten, and the burnt ribs are clearly visible. Lifeless, milky eyes staring ahead, unfocused.

Its jaws were enormous, thick green corpse fluid dripping from them, sharp fangs still embedded in its jaws, and claws hanging from the ends of its arms were still sharp.

Is it a puppet demon? Zhang Su thought quickly.

Puppet demons are adept at controlling corpses, and once they find the remains of a human or witch killed in battle, they will use them with impunity.

Katie had seen her newly buried comrades stand up again and knock on her door, and that was the puppeteer's doing.

It turns out that Oguma has been killed a long time ago and has become a puppet!

"Are you here to kill me?" A cry almost from the little girl's skull came from Oguma's skull, like a mockery, "Don't kill me......"

Zhang Su's heart sank, and he picked up his gun and shot at the monster.

Bang!

The bullet struck Okumar's fur, sending a little blood, and its horrible rotten bear face cracked open its mouth.

"It's eating me, Mom...... It's eating me alive ......! From its throat came a terrible and eerie scream, as if it was a parody of the mourning of the dead.

Immediately after, it was grounded on all fours, and its speed was extremely fast, like a skeleton chariot, rushing straight towards Zhang Su!

"Roar!" Katie intercepts along the way and crashes head-on!

The dragon and the corpse bear collide, and the two sides fight each other as hard as they can.

Okumar hissed hoarsely from his hollow throat, and his body swelled suddenly, and strange black flesh suddenly sprang up, filling its limbs.

Demonize!

At this time, Oguma seemed to have regained his flesh and blood, and the broken fur was covered with newborn demon skin, and his appearance was even more eerie.

Katy struggled, trying to stand up, using his claws against Okuma's palms, and completely entered a state of wrestling, like two fighters with infinite strength, purely competing for strength.

The forces are counteracted.

The demonic muscles on Okuma's body were still expanding, and his body was even a few points larger than Katy's, and he pushed Katy backwards with all his might.

"Hee...... This strange bear is a puppet I carefully selected, an evil beast that has been killing people since 300 years ago, and there are really hundreds of people who have died under its claws, what are you? A shrill girlish taunt came from Okuma's skull, which annoyed Katie even more.

"Roar!" Katie fought hard, but fell behind in pure strength competition!

In the midst of this life-fighting beast confrontation, Katy's long-dormant magic was greatly activated.

Her fragile wings began to shake slowly, like a newborn bird learning how to move its wings!

Oguma was even more violent, pushing hard, and Kati's figure suddenly skewed down, unable to stand firmly.

It took advantage of the situation and clenched its claws on the sides of Katy's neck, and the rotten teeth bit straight into it.

Boom!

Its teeth gnawed on Katy's black dragon scales, and they burst inch by inch in an instant!

The sound is crisp and recognizable, its teeth cracked, and the sound is like a broken human bone and joint, which makes people tremble all over the body.

"Such hard scales, what's going on?" The girl's voice was panicked.

Immediately afterward, a strange imp crawled out of the back of Okuma's head, clutching an obsidian dagger in his hand, and stabbed at Katy.

"I'll kill you!" The little devil screamed.

Demon-crafted obsidian weapons can slice through dragon scales and corrupt Katy!

Bang!

Zhang Su then opened fire, hitting the imp.

The 7.62mm full-power bullet struck him in the torso, and it screamed, immediately burrowing back into the back of Okuma's head, continuing to manipulate Okumar's actions.

Seeing this opportunity, Katy swung out a huge dragon claw and slammed Oguma's chest, the voice was vibrating, the attack was powerful and heavy, and the strong wind swept wildly, instantly repelling Okuma!

Oguma retreated on the defensive.

The puppeteer hides in Okuma's skull, thinking quickly.

The cooperation of this dragon alone is quite skillful, and the cooperative hunting is even more powerful.

If you can kill this dragon, you will get a new toy. But Oguma's teeth can't penetrate the dragon scales, but that person is easier to kill.

So Oguma immediately abandoned Katy and rushed at Zhang Su.

The smell of the wind is blowing!

At that time, Zhang Su heard a muffled sound again, and when he looked closely, he saw Katy raise his head, smoke began to rise from both sides of his mouth, and the dragon scales on his neck glowed slightly after heating, aiming at Oguma from behind.

Dragon's breath? Golden opportunity!

Zhang Su threw away the gun, grabbed the Guanshi Futu, and swung it at Okuma.

It roared, raising its claws to slam hard.

Bang!

As soon as the stick went down, its claws were actually held by Guanshi Futu, and it could not be suppressed no matter what.

What's going on? The puppet demon was stunned.

The mortal in front of him seemed to have infinite strength, and the iron rod in his hand burst out with a burst of white flames, scorching Oguma's palm, causing the demon bear's flesh and blood to quickly erode away!

Zhang Su didn't move, his eyes looked at Oguma without fear.

And the puppet demon didn't dare to fight against Zhang Su!

"Help!" Oguma stepped back, simulating a human voice and letting out a girl's wail.

It's not just the bad taste of the puppet demon, but it's also like it's begging for help.

In any case, the delicate woman's mourning was not commensurate with its ugly, burly and massive body.

Okumar stood there, the puppeteer hidden in its skull, and heard a hissing sound growing from behind him.

The puppeteer controls Oguma to turn around.

At this time, Katy's chest swelled with the mixture of dragon's breath gas, and its mouth lit up intermittently, and smoke all around it.

Dragon's breath?

The puppeteer demon immediately controls Okumar to raise his arms and burn his soul at the same time, creating more demon scales for protection.

"Roar!" With an earth-shattering roar, Katie stretched her head forward and opened the pitch-black dragon's throat to burst into flames of hell!

A torrent of blazing flames roared out, crashing into Okumar's arms in an instant.

"Is this the dragon's flame? It doesn't seem like it's—" The puppeteer watched as Long Yan burned on Okuma's arms.

In the next second, Oguma's demon scales were completely incinerated completely!

A steady stream of dragon fire erupted, knocking it directly to the ground, and the giant bear collapsed in response!

Okuma, defeated!

This is the power of dragons? The puppeteer quickly drilled out Oguma's skull.

Zhang Su jumped over.

"Don't kill me!" The puppet demon was shocked.

The Guanshi Futu in Zhang Su's hand is like a flame of light in the demon's field of vision!

How could there be such a terrible power! It's incredible.

Zhang Su slammed the Guanshi Futu and smashed the puppet demon with an iron rod.

Rumble!

The demon was smashed into powder in an instant, and the ground was shaken and cracked inch by inch.

Puppet Demon, Die!

Zhang Su took a deep breath and put the stick back to his place.

It can be regarded as blowing up these two animals.

When the flames erupted, the grass burned and turned to ashes, forming a striking ring of burning fire at the edges, spreading and leaving behind a circular scorched earth in the center.

Oguma lay in the middle, the demonic aura completely dispelled, turning back into a corpse, the remains still intact, leaving the beast's spine to be retrieved.

According to the puppet demon's self-test just now, this beast does have a lifespan of several hundred years, and it is almost fine, which is suitable for using it as a material for Kati's breaking ceremony.

Katie rubbed her teeth, exhaled the last breath of flame, and closed her black jaw.

Zhang Su looked at her intently, wisps of smoke surrounding her dragon's head, and the firelight reflected like a hazy corona.
