The Karasu Tengu flapped its wings and circled over the snowy field, enveloped in solemn darkness.
"Wow wow——"
At this time, he no longer looked like a white-faced, black-feathered crow, but became half human and half bird.
He was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white god-patterned mask on his face, shiny black feathers all over his body, and his feet looked like bird claws.
The original crow wings transformed into arms, holding a long-handled ax in one hand and a black cattail fan in the other.
But a pair of larger and stronger black wings extended from its back.
Uh-huh!
The Karasu Tengu flapped its wings and fell rapidly from mid-air, carrying the wind and snow.
The sharp claws of the bird grasped the head of a turbid night thief and jerked it downwards.
puff!
That night thief snatched the ground with his head, and half of his body was buried in the snow.
The long-handled ax in Wu Tengu's hand swung down and slashed hard into the night thief's neck.
The filthy human-shaped monster didn't even struggle, and then stopped making any movement.
As the night thief died, two fat and disgusting black maggots wriggled out of his body.
Wu Tengu waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and a ball of black fireworks roared out.
This is Tengu fire.
The Tengu Fire wrapped around the black maggots, burning them until they curled up and twitched, turning into two pools of disgusting pus.
Deftly killing a night thief, before the other enemies could attack him, Wu Tengu waved his wings again and took to the air.
He has been fighting the night thieves in the boundless darkness for some time, and he has only suffered minor injuries so far.
…
The Karasu Tengu is nimble in movement and is a flying unit. It really didn't suffer much at first against the flightless thieves.
But as the darkness in the sky grew deeper and deeper, the situation began to change.
The sense of oppression in the darkness became heavier and heavier, and Wu Tengu began to lose sight of its direction, and gradually could not see clearly the situation of the enemies on the ground.
Swish!
Many of the night thieves on the ground were armed with bows, arrows and spears. These long-range shooter units had their eyes on the Wutengu.
Arrows and short spears pierced the air and screamed.
The voice was muffled in the thick darkness and seemed suppressed.
Karasu Tengu rolled over to avoid it, but the densely packed missiles were like raindrops flying up, densely packed.
His back, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs were scratched or even punctured in several places.
Among the night thieves on the ground, many of them are no less powerful than the Karasu Tengu.
Outnumbered and outnumbered, it was indeed too much.
The injured Karasu Tengu flapped its wings, but still fell from the air and crashed into the snow with a pop.
The surrounding night thieves seized the opportunity and quickly surrounded him.
The situation suddenly became dangerous.
Can't do it.
Still can't do it.
A long time ago, when the lightless disaster came, he was no match for the hordes of night thieves.
Watching my companions fall one by one, I was helpless.
This is still the case. Even though he had been practicing very hard, he still seemed too weak when he saw the night thief again.
Wu Tengu swung his ax vigorously, knocking down a night thief who was charging towards him, and chopped him to the ground.
But in the face of the subsequent waves of enemies, it was obviously beyond their capabilities.
Even if they are still fighting hard, there will inevitably be new sorrow.
"A useless follower like me will only bring shame to the Mother Goddess... The Mother Goddess hopes that I can live well and save the believers on the land of Kamui... but I really can't do it... like I really can't do this..."
Perhaps a long time ago, like other companions, he should have died to be loyal to the Mother Goddess.
That... would be better than living like this.
"Kill...kill!"
Several more night thieves twisted and pounced, one of them was unusually tall, almost half a body taller than an ordinary night thieves.
This kind of large-scale night thief is probably rated as C-level, if only fighting on the ground. The frontal strength may not be inferior to that of Wu Tengu.
"Mother Goddess..."
The young Tengu was in pain, and his injured wings could not flap again. Now he was surrounded by night thieves, and he was already determined to die.
And at this moment——
The whining and low sound of conches resounded in the sky.
A huge skeletal whale with only a skeleton and no flesh, surrounded by dreamy blue light spots, swooped down from the sky.
The dense white bones bloomed, like a blooming skeleton flower, blooming and closing, completely covering the Wutengu.
The pressure of the air waves caused by the skeletal whale's dive caused snowflakes to fly, knocking many night thieves out.
Bang!
A few of the night thieves swung out their incomplete and filthy weapons, but they only hit the whale bones, making a sound like gold and stone clashing. The white bones were struck with fine lines before being bounced away.
"What's this?"
Wu Tengu looked up and saw several identical white-bone whales floating up and down in the sky, with dots of blue light on their bodies.
On the back of one of the whales was a child dressed in navy blue.
The child was holding a big conch in his hand. He looked very delicate and could not tell his gender. He was looking at himself from the back of the whale.
The skeleton whales in the sky were constantly making ethereal and plaintive calls, intertwined with the sound of the whimpering conches in the hands of the "blue boy".
"The smell of the ocean...whale?"
Before Wu Tengu could react, he heard a loud bark from ahead.
"Ouch——"
A huge and ferocious beast-shaped figure, its body blazing with fire, exhaling an ancient and corrupt aura, rampaged across the battlefield.
Hit and run over tons of night thieves.
Karasu Tengu knew this majestic and huge black beast.
What once appeared next to the stranger was a ferocious big black dog.
It seems to be the stranger's subordinate.
"Puff."
Next to the black dog, there is a relatively petite white beast following.
The strange little pig-like beast had a long nose, and a blurry and dreamy red light was constantly sputtering from its body.
The enemy touched by its red light, whether it is a night thief or a maggot with half of its body exposed and constantly squirming outside the night thief, will strangely calm down.
Then it was quickly burned with flames by the accompanying black dog, or corrupted into pus by its extremely corrosive breath.
There are two strange beasts, one black and one white, and their coordination is extremely smooth and tacit.
In an instant, he was at the side of Karastengu.
"Are these all the stranger's men?"
The young Tengu boy, protected by the whale shield, knelt on the snow and propped himself up with his axe, with a look of surprise on his face.
How could that stranger's subordinate be so powerful?
At this time, Wu Tengu raised his eyes.
Just as he saw the edge of darkness in the distance, Kamiya's hand bloomed with brilliant lightning, and he stepped into this thick and deep dark area.
The word wrapped in Yang Lei in his hand was dazzling, and seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to the dirty and turbid night thieves.
"Light... put out!"
"Erase!"
Those night thieves moved erratically, leaving foul-smelling black slime on their paths, and rushed toward the Valley of Gods.
The night thief who rushed at the front was tall and powerful. He might have a C-level rating individually.
"That stranger..."
Wu Tengu was actually not sure what the strength of this sudden outsider was.
Although he had indeed carefully observed the other party before, he only felt that the outsider seemed to be of average strength.
It does not seem to be out of the category of "human beings".
Judging from the current situation, that person is probably the so-called "Onmyoji" in the outside world, who relies on the power of Kaidan and relies on shikigami to fight.
"That human won't release all the powerful shikigami to rescue me, right?"
Karasu Tengu is very upright, and seems to have a clear sense of "silliness" in him...
When I saw the scene where the night thieves were attracted by the Kamiya River and started rioting, I instinctively feared the worst possibility.
At this time, in his sight, the dazzling figure of Kamiya overlapped with the huge night thief, making him unable to see clearly.
In the dark and dense space, the brilliant lightning was obscured.
And the next second, Wu Tengu saw——
A ferocious bright yellow thunder exploded, spider web-shaped lightning arcs burst out, and the light suddenly appeared, tearing open the surrounding dark space.
The sudden strong light made Wu Tengu close his eyes.
Wait until he opens his eyes again.
The giant night thief, who was as powerful as a hill in front of the human, stiffened and slowly fell backwards.
As the C-level night thief fell, the image of the Kamiya River in front of him emerged again.
Kamiya's Ichimonji maintained his slashing posture, and the bright yellow thunder and lightning on the blade shone even more ferociously.
His right arm holding the knife was covered by a transparent black cage hand, and the cage hand was shimmering with a strange black light and red glow.
Not only that, his face was also covered with a white leather mask, and the eyes under the mask were shining in the reflection of thunder.
The mask of jealousy completely covered Kamiyagawa's originally friendly appearance, making him appear strange and grotesque, making even the Karasu Tengu feel malicious and unwilling to get close to him.
In just an instant, that human's temperament and strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From the original "unremarkable" to the Xuanhe Fire, his powerful strength and courage made all the ugly night thieves in front of him look pale and powerless.
Pfft, pfft.
Several live maggots emerged from the body of the night thief who was knocked down by Kamiyagawa.
But before those disgusting fat maggots could completely leave the body, they were wrapped in a red mist that surged out of the air and torn into pieces.
"Surround it, surround it,
Caged bird,
I want to come out all the time..."
Beside the human was a man in a black and red dress, with a terrifying aura, and walked out slowly, dragging a huge machete.
A white origami bird surrounded her, constantly singing childish and weird nursery rhymes.
The retro high-heeled leather boots worn by Guitan in a Western Dress would cause bloody red mist to roll around him every time he took a step.
She stepped over the body of the night robber on the ground and quickly attacked the other night robbers.
The human being, whose appearance had changed, just raised his head and glanced in the direction of Wu Tengu, and nodded slightly in an extremely calm manner.
"He... is so strong."
Wu Tengu was stunned.
…
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Name of the ghost story: Huang Quanjun·Kurobe]
[Grade: D grade]
[Status: In the world of ghost stories]
[Interview progress: 11%]
The phone vibrates multiple times.
The monster called a night thief by Granny Ouchusa is named "Yangquanjun·Kurobe" in Kaidan Monogatari.
Kamiyagawa didn't have time to check his phone.
But just based on combat experience and the strength of the enemy's aura, he could roughly judge the strength of these enemies who suddenly had disgusting maggots on their bodies.
There were no less than sixty thieves in this group.
The aura exuding from most of them is equivalent to D-class ghost stories.
There are about twenty others, and they are obviously taller than the other night thieves. They might be C-level.
This was the first time that Kamiya had an encounter with a group of elite monsters.
Fortunately, he and his shikigami are no longer what they used to be.
Moreover, the number of live maggots on the bodies of those night thieves was not too much, and it was incomparable to the previous ones, King Inojisa and Tou Shanyan.
Since Kamiyagawa's side already had experience, it was relatively easy to deal with this amount of black maggots.
Next——
Kamiyagawa, who puts on a mask of jealousy and summons ghost hands; and Mari, who is completely stable at the B-level rating stage, is enough to behead those giant night thieves with C-level ratings.
The remaining dog gods, dream-eating tapirs, and whales cooperated with a clear division of labor, mainly dealing with the larger number of ordinary night thieves.
Gouzi and Little Tapir had already developed a strong tacit understanding in previous battles.
In addition, they all have experience in dealing with black maggots, and the little tapir's [Dream] skill can even directly calm the black maggots into a short dormancy.
Their cooperation is perfect.
Although it was the first time for the little whale to face black maggots, because he was riding on the back of a whale in the air, the thieves on the ground could not do anything to him.
Even if there were throwing tools, they would be blocked by another whale flying beside him as a guard.
Moreover, the whale's fighting ability is not weak.
With a wave of his hand, a skeletal whale spirit can use [Whale Bone·Open] to smash into the gathering of spear throwers and archers of the night thieves with the force of destroying the army.
It shook the ground and crushed a large number of enemies.
The only ones who suffer are the night thieves on the ground.
…
[Underworld Army Kurobe is dead and received 235 soul crystals! ]
The last night thief was also chopped down by Mary's clean back stab.
There is not much suspense in this encounter.
Kamiya's side was victorious.
After a battle, I didn't get much material, but I got some thoughts on D-level and C-level ghost stories.
He also harvested 20,000 soul crystals, once again enriching the stock of underworld currency.
The miserable days of poverty seemed to have finally come to an end, and there was no end to the soul crystals. There was simply no way to spend them all.
Kamiya confirmed that the enemy was completely defeated. Only then did he take out his mobile phone to check and learned the name of the night thieves, "Yangquan Army·Kurobu".
"Underworld? Are those black maggots from Underworld?"
"And the suffix of these underworld armies is 'Kurobu'. In other words, there are probably other types of underworld armies?"
A simple name made Kamiya think about it.
Because of his daily study, he has a lot of understanding of Japanese mythology.
The term "Yellow Spring Army" has been seen before, and it is recorded in "Kojiki".
To put it simply, the Huangquan Army is the underworld soldier in Huangquan Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Huangquan refers to the world where the evil god lives, located in the dark underground.
The leader of the Underworld is none other than Izanami, the great god in Japanese mythology who created the world by having an affair with his brother Izanagi.
Izanami's divine title is - the goddess of filth in the underworld.
"If those black maggots are hostile to me...then the other side of Huangquan Naraku are also my enemies?"
Kamiya couldn't help but think so.
If there is an enemy on the other side of Huangquan.
Then my enemy is, Izanami?
