The nine-tailed fox lamented his short life and welcomed his return calmly.
But after waiting for a while, Tamamo no longer took her back. Instead, she heard her joking voice: "You look like you don't care about death. Do you think I'm your enemy?"
Otherwise, everyone I play games with is my enemy!
The nine-tailed fox responded subconsciously, and then she opened her eyes in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Tamamo Mae smiled slightly: "It means that I will give you some free time."
This is a test. If the nine-tailed fox expresses strong resistance to returning, Tamamo Mae will take her back by force.
If she chooses to accept it calmly, she can move on to the next step.
Hearing that he could live a little longer, the nine-tailed fox was happy, but he immediately reacted: "What do you want me to do?"
Could it be that she was asked to sneak attack Kanzaki Rin?
She might as well return now, she didn't want to be beaten to death by Fang Cheng.
"I have a task for you."
Tamamo Mae did not immediately say what the mission was, but asked: "The daughter of the moon fox is called Uguang Mirai. Why did she turn into an egg?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox didn't know why Tamamo Mae cared about this unknown little girl, but the fact that she turned into an egg was not a secret, so he answered truthfully.
Tamamo Mae looked thoughtful when he heard that he had been injected with the divine medicine before turning into an egg.
After a long time, Tamamo Mae said: "I want you to stay with them and protect the egg no matter what happens."
But the nine-tailed fox understood the meaning of the words: "Is that egg dangerous?"
Tamamo Mae didn't answer: "There are some things you don't need to know now, just do as I say."
The nine-tailed fox stared at its true form and suddenly asked, "Have you changed my memory?"
She and Tamamozen should share all their memories, but Tamamozen knows more.
Now that I think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong with my previous memory.
In his memory, Tamamo Mae was mixed up in human society, experiencing modern life and then running away after being discovered, and finally met the Knight of the Apocalypse.
Now that he encountered his true form, the Nine-tailed Fox realized that Tamamo Mae would never do this.
Mixing into human society as an ordinary person can only be done by the nine-tailed fox herself. If it were Tamamo Mae, she would definitely become a superior ruler instead of an ordinary person.
Sixteen years ago, the Nine-tailed Fox and Tamamo Mae were one and the same. If she didn't remember it wrongly, it meant that there was something wrong with this memory and it was considered to have been tampered with.
Seeing that the nine-tailed fox noticed something unusual, Tamamo Mae chuckled: "If you come back, you will know everything."
Then forget it, you old antique doesn't like playing games at first glance.
The nine-tailed fox pouted. She still had a lot of mobile games waiting to be played on her phone.
"Then go back."
Tamamo Mae disappeared quickly into the night like the wind, and only the voice came back: "Remember, no matter what happens, you must protect the egg."
"I know, are you too old and suffering from intermittent amnesia? You keep saying the same thing over and over again."
The nine-tailed fox complained in the direction Tamamo Mae left.
When she was sure that the main body had left, her face suddenly fell.
Although Tamamo Mae was granted a period of grace, the Nine-tailed Fox was not happy.
There is no need to guess that Tamamo Mae suddenly returned at this time because of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.
The Nine-Tailed Fox has no doubt that once the competition for the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons is over, Tamamo Mae will definitely take her back.
With such a future, even if it is extended for a while, what is the point.
The nine-tailed fox sighed and went back.
After parting ways with the Nine-tailed Fox, Tamamo Mae did not stay in the Machinery City, but left directly.
She traveled through most of Hokkaido at the fastest speed, arrived at Ibuki Castle overnight, and sneaked into the iron palace silently.
The lights in the iron palace were brightly lit, and Oni Yunji was working on her work all night long, and she didn't notice anyone snooping secretly.
Tamamozen is good friends with Ibaraki Doji and has met his three children.
Not counting the reincarnation of Shuten-douji, there were only two left. Tamamo Mae had always felt that Oniunhime was the one capable of succeeding Ibaraki-douji.
After not seeing each other for many years, it was as expected.
However, Oniunhime is busy with secular affairs and has no time to practice. There is still a long way to go before she can reach the height of Ibaraki Doji.
Tamamo Mae left the Iron Palace without disturbing his friend's daughter and headed to the top of Sounkyo Gorge.
Near Lake Tenno, Tamamo-mae found the grave of Ibaraki Doji.
The tomb is very simple, not because Gui Yunji is disrespectful to her father, but because the death of the ghost master has not yet been announced to the public, so naturally she cannot make a big deal about it.
After a few years, when the position of the ghost master is completely established, Oni Yunji will announce her father's death to the public and then build a new cemetery.
As for whether Ibaraki-douji will be resurrected like Shuten-douji, no one knows.
Tamamo-mae stood in front of the grave, showing a smile that was either mocking or teasing: "You are such a proud monster. Now you are lying in this obscure place. Not many people even know that you are dead. Don't you feel very sad?" humiliation?"
After muttering a few words to himself, Tamamo Mae waved his hand gently, and the tomb immediately split open on both sides, revealing the coffin inside.
…
Stealing the country, Gwangju.
Shuten Doji, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again in this deserted deep mountain forest.
It was late at night, and he was standing on the tree crown, holding a gourd-shaped wine bottle in his hand, looking at the other side of the sea under the moonlight.
That's his hometown, District 11.
However, in recent times, Shuten Doji has been returning to Area 11 frequently, and his homesickness has been greatly alleviated.
The competition for the Lord of Demons is about to begin.
For this reason, Shuten Doji has made a lot of preparations in Area 11, and has also found out the whereabouts of the certificate in the hands of the ghost master.
I came to Stealing Country today just to invite allies.
After he drank half a bottle of wine quietly, the mountainous area finally began to shake, as if an earthquake was coming, and the earth trembled and rumbled.
Countless birds and animals in the mountains were frightened and fled in panic.
Shuten Doji slowly turned around on the swaying treetops and looked at the mountain peak on the left.
During the vibration, a hole opened at the bottom of the mountain, and a huge head that looked like a turtle emerged from the foot of the mountain.
Based on Xuanwu, the most powerful monster in the country - Gui Xiushan.
"Shuten!"
A voice as thick as a bell sounded from Wu Gui's mouth: "What are you doing here again?"
Shuten Doji smiled and said: "The competition for the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons is about to be held. According to the agreement, I am here to invite you, an ally, to participate."
This time, Gui Xiu Shan did not laugh.
Because he felt that Shuten Doji's strength had returned to its peak, and he was a legendary great monster like him.
With Shuten Doji's current strength, he is fully qualified to participate in the competition, even if he has no credentials.
But Gui Xiushan still hesitated a little.
On the one hand, he does need allies to share the pressure, but on the other hand, he does not want too many big monsters to compete.
Shuten Doji suddenly asked: "Did you stop sending monsters to Hokkaido after the death of Qingen Demon?"
Guixiushan did not hide anything: "Yes, I already know enough about Hokkaido."
In fact, it's because he doesn't have any more suitable manpower to send to District 11.
After all, there are too few monsters that steal the country. Not only are they small in number, but they are also small in variety.
Qing Yan Gui was already the most suitable dispatch target. After he was killed, Gui Xiu Shan felt very distressed and did not send any more people out.
Shuten Doji did not expose his harsh words, but said: "There are a large number of foreign monsters in Hokkaido now, and they are all sent to find out information. Behind them, they all represent big monsters that are more powerful than you and me. I didn't know you were there." Why are you hesitating? If you are afraid that I will pose a threat to you, then you must at least survive the competition first. Are you going to face an opponent who knows everything, or an enemy who knows nothing?"
Gui Xiushan's original hesitation was not strong. After hearing his words, he felt that it made sense, and his heart began to waver.
If you have to face an enemy in the end, it is of course better to be a familiar opponent, rather than a strange monster from another part of the world.
"It's still some time before the competition starts. Isn't it too early for you to come to me now? You haven't even got the certificate yet, right?"
Hearing these words, Shuten Doji's lips curled up slightly, knowing that Gui Shushan had been convinced.
"I already know where the ghost master's credentials are, but it's a little troublesome to get them. I hope you can help."
Before Gui Shushan could refuse, Shuten Doji continued: "Help me get the certificate, and I owe you a favor."
"What you say is unfounded!"
"I can use magic to make a vow."
So both parties signed an oath, and both parties were satisfied.
The ground shook again, and it was many times stronger than before.
The entire mountainous area was shaking violently, landslides occurred, rivers were diverted, and numerous collapses occurred.
Even Shuten Doji couldn't continue to show off on the tree crown, so he had no choice but to throw the sake gourd in his hand into the air and turn it into a huge gourd.
He jumped up, sat on the gourd, and looked down.
Mountains hundreds of meters high slowly climbed up amid violent vibrations, and countless gravel and vegetation shook off the mountains.
Bottomless cracks opened up in the surrounding ground. The cracks surrounded the entire mountain peak, and four giant pillar-like thighs could be faintly seen inside the cracks.
The entire mountain peak is the body of Gui Xiu Shan. Now he climbed up from the ground and caused a strong earthquake in the mountainous area.
"Huh... I haven't moved for a long time."
Gui Xiushan adjusted to the standing posture, then slowly moved his huge limbs and walked towards the distant coastline, the turtle's head swaying.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every step that Guixiu took on the mountain caused huge vibrations, denting the ground surface.
His speed seemed very slow. Looking down from the air, you could see a giant turtle moving slowly in the mountains. The surrounding mountains turned into small mounds as big as him.
In fact, the movement here has been seen by the satellite of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.
But it was just a monster moving, and it was in a remote area, so neither the People's Revolutionary League nor the government of the country took it seriously.
Onishiyama passed through the mountainous area, his huge body sank into the sea, and swam towards Hokkaido.
