Another day passed.
Matsuzawa.
It was late at night, the moonlight was hazy in the distant sky, and the entire mountain forest was shrouded in darkness. The original teeth and claws of the forest were also soaked in a dead light, slumped and powerless.
A leech man with blue-grey skin and a double-barreled shotgun is walking slowly through here.
The muscles on his body were rising and falling, and it was unclear whether he was walking on his deformed feet or squirming with other parts of his body.
After squirming forward for a while, the leech man suddenly stopped.
He let out a hoarse gasp and stood there, using the nose holes on his face and the watery skin to feel the flow of air and the smell mixed in it.
There seems to be a strange fragrance swirling around, like the coolness of the cold wind in winter and the astringent fragrance of ice on the water. But it is also mixed with some weirder and colder qualities, like the gnawing sounds made by lonely ghosts fighting for sacrifices in a ruined temple on a barren mountain in the cold weather.
The Leech Man smells danger!
But it was too late.
A swish sound.
A curved arc-pointed knife with flowing golden light shot out from somewhere deep in the dense forest.
The illusory blade tore through the air, making a clanging sound, and stabbed the leech man's chest sharply.
As the blade penetrated the flesh, a shrill wolf howl sounded in the forest.
A delicate lantern hung around its neck. A petite white wolf, wrapped in that ghostly and astringent fragrance, flashed out of thin air, appeared at the position of the golden scimitar, and knocked the leech man down violently.
The scimitar that was driven into the leech man's chest was held in his mouth and swung upwards.
Flesh and blood split, bones shattered, and the arc of the knife stopped at the lower jaw, completely rupturing his throat.
The dull blood with the fishy smell of water splashed, and the leech man didn't even have time to fire his gun, and he slumped to the ground like mud and became motionless.
"Furafur."
Yesonglang stuck out his tongue and licked the dirt on his white fur.
The leech man's blood tasted very bad, and the sending wolf showed an expression of great disgust on his face. He only took a lick and then stopped, holding the golden scimitar in his mouth and wagging his tail as he walked back.
"We won, this time it was so fast!" Lu Yewu held the copper chain of the incense burner in his hand and walked out from the shade of a tree not far away, "thrown out the scimitar, and then moved directly to the mark of the scimitar's landing point. The move is so cool! I know this, it’s also in the anime, it’s called Flying Thunder God!”
"Furafur."
Send Wolf walked a little closer and shook his head.
"Oh, wait a minute." The little deer seemed to understand what the female wolf meant, and took out a handkerchief from the bag to wipe off the blood on her white hair. "We seem to be more and more understanding now. I knew our cooperation would be very beneficial!”
The one-move attack the wolf had just given to defeat the enemy was indeed very powerful, but Kanoya's side also contributed.
For example, the location of the leech man was found by Little Old Man No. 3. From a passive encounter to an active attack that can seize the opportunity, the scouts played an important role.
Then there is Luye House.
Before sending the wolf to take action, the incense effect in the incense burner was switched for it.
Now in her Shengde Royal Incense Burner, the incense sparks are a ghostly blue.
This is [Attendant Incense], which is composed of the base incense of six incense substances and Lingling powder sprinkled in it.
The specific effect is that it can attract wandering ghosts with no rating and low strength around them, at the expense of letting them share the fragrance of the "attendant". The incense burner can temporarily drive the wandering ghosts for his own use.
Calling on the stars and ghosts, smelling the incense in the stove, the mountains are full of ghosts and the people are cold.
In addition, the ghostly fragrance of the attendant incense can also provide a certain degree of ability enhancement for the wandering soul.
Although the incense ceremony of Koami is famous for its elegance, any incense spell has the ability to sacrifice ghosts to some extent. After all, the birth of incense culture is inseparable from sacrifice.
The little deer used the attendant incense just now to control the spiritual power and let the aroma directly act on the body of the wolf.
I still remember that when Kanoya first learned the squire incense, he thought about using this incense set to provide bonuses to Hachisha-sama in battle. But in fact, Hachisha is an Aragami, and Kanoya's incense magic is not enough to enhance her.
But the situation is different when it comes to Yesonglang.
White Wolf's rating is actually only a mid-to-low D rating, which is not particularly powerful. Therefore, the "Servant Incense" combined with the [Holy Virtue Royal Incense Burner], which has a very high bonus to the incense spell, will have a considerable amplifying effect on Sang Lang.
The weaker a shikigami is, the stronger it is, that's pretty much the truth.
After getting rid of the leech man, Luyewu and Sendlang directly destroyed each other's shotguns as usual.
"Let me think about it, this should be the sixteenth shotgun that was destroyed. Matsuzawa's weapons inventory has been consumed a lot by us."
Xiaolu, this girl, is actually quite strong even when Kamiya and Bachizai are not around.
Late yesterday night, she saw Watanabe's leech-like corpse, and knew that there might be a big unknown secret behind the "resurrection of the dead" in Matsuzawa. At that time, I was a little confused and scared, but I quickly adjusted myself.
First, they went to the agreed place to meet with Sendang Lang. The two parties had a chat and exchanged new information.
And since last night, she has been consciously hunting leeches in the mountains and forests.
Although the Matsuzawa people are "immortal", disarming is still effective.
The plans made before are still feasible. People cannot be killed, and those shotguns that pose a great threat must be destroyed.
Because they took the initiative last night and tonight under the leadership of the little old man, and with the help of Sending Wolf, the efficiency of eliminating the leech men was very high.
"As long as all the hunters' shotguns are destroyed, and then Master instructs me to make a big splash in Matsuzawa, the feasibility will be greatly improved." This is what Kanoya thought.
As for how to make a fuss, she had some plans for the time being.
Xiaolu planned to set fire to Songze Village when the time came.
The key place to burn was Matsuzawa's public canteen. After observing during the day, she was now almost certain that in addition to serving meals, the canteen also served as a place for religious activities. Burn that place down and the Matsuzawa people will go absolutely crazy.
In addition, after taking time to investigate the situation in the village during the two days, Kanoya also selected several other fire spots, and based on the suggestions of Little Old Man No. 3, he planned several escape and hiding routes for himself.
"However... I am also facing other problems now. The biggest one is that there is not enough water and food."
Kanoya has been in Matsuzawa for two and a half days. The sandwiches and two buns he brought in have been eaten, and there is only a small amount of water left in the pot of water.
She has indeed strictly controlled her diet, eating and drinking less.
And they also try to conserve their physical strength as much as possible. For example, tonight's battle is mainly carried out by sending wolves, with Kanoya simply assisting.
But the original material reserves were too few.
"Master must act quickly...otherwise, I may starve to death in Songze first..."
…
Switch the incense in the incense burner to "Plum Blossom".
Luyewu and Senglang, under the leadership of Little Old Man No. 3, became active in the mountains and forests again, looking for and killing the lone leech man.
After hunting three more Matsuzawa hunters, when this team was handling the seized shotguns, the little old man who was originally on guard around them suddenly trembled.
"Abba whining!"
He shouted excitedly at Kanoya's feet.
"What's wrong, little grandpa, eh...is it Master?"
"Abba!"
The little old man nodded quickly, picked up a stone, and wrote on the ground.
It seems that Kamiyagawa from the real world is communicating again.
[Xiaolu, are you okay? ]
Looking at the crooked handwriting on the ground, Lu Yewu's spirit was lifted up, but he also suddenly choked up.
But no matter when, as long as you can hear the news from Master, it means there is hope for everything.
Master will definitely take me out of this hellish place!
Kanoya firmly believes in this.
"I...I'm fine, Master. I'm your apprentice. I won't embarrass you, hehe."
She wanted to smile easily, but her voice unknowingly had a whimpering nasal sound as she continued:
"I found the Kaidan Alliance that you asked me to find, Master. They are sending wolves. We are now partners in action together. Also, the leech people here in Matsuzawa, I don't know why, they can't die. Although After killing them, corpses would be left behind, but they would somehow return to Songze Village with new bodies the next day... We destroyed a large number of shotguns in the village, and then..."
Kanoya simply informed Kamiya of the new information obtained in the past two days.
[You're doing great, little deer. Just hold on a little longer and I'll rescue you tomorrow. ]
"Furafur."
The sending wolf next to him came over curiously, looked at the little old man writing on the ground, and then looked at Lu Yewu who was trying to suppress his emotions.
Shuanglang could recognize some of the writing on the ground.
So... Kanoya Yukino really has a master, and her master is really planning to rescue her from Matsuzawa?
She didn't lie?
The little old man continued to write——
[Tomorrow at 15:30, the people in the countermeasures room and I will officially start the fight against the earthquake catfish. It is expected that it will take more than ten minutes to kill the earthquake catfish. So during that time, you also need to act in sync. ]
"I understand, Master."
[You wear a watch, right? Let's check the time. ]
Kanoya had a small quartz watch on his left wrist, and he was still turning it after entering Matsuzawa.
The master and apprentice checked the time on both sides, and there was no mistake.
[Xiaolu, I know you have worked very hard. Just leave it to me after that and you'll be fine, don't worry. When you come back, I will take you to eat kaiseki cuisine. ]
"Uh-huh!"
Xiaolu raised his hand and rubbed his somewhat unsatisfied red eyes.
I don't know why. He was fine just now, but when he saw the message from the master, Kanoya suddenly felt so wronged.
However, now is not the time to act coquettishly to the master.
She needs to be stronger.
This communication is mainly to check the time of action.
In addition, Kamiya also informed his disciples of some other newly obtained information about Matsuzawa, as well as speculations about the leech and the eight hundred bhikkhunis.
Then the communication was disconnected.
Lu Ye Wu and Shuang Lang explained tomorrow's action plan. It was already late when everything was done, and she almost had to return to Songze Village.
So far, Xiaolu and Sendlang have destroyed a total of nineteen shotguns and hid one.
There should be only one or two hunters still holding guns in Songze Village.
And these ones will probably be hard to find tonight.
This is the only way to start.
Tomorrow is the decisive battle, and Sanglang will also appear in Songze Village at around five o'clock in the afternoon. With it, the shotgun alone shouldn't be a big problem.
"Then I'll go back to see the wolf off, and we'll work hard together tomorrow."
Kanoya said goodbye to his wolf companion.
"Ouch."
Sendlang sat down gracefully on the ground and nodded.
Lu Yewu took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around, threw himself in front of the wolf, hugged its petite torso, and buried his face in the soft white hair on its neck.
"Furfur..."
The white female wolf was slightly resistant to this, but in the end she did not take the initiative to break away.
Although with its ability, it is easy to escape from the intimate activities of Kanye House.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow master will rescue us all. Then I will see my master and family again. You can meet my powerful big dog at home, I promise!"
"Ouch..."
She is indeed a strange girl.
I never agreed to meet any of your big dogs, right?
How could a noble wolf fall in love with a domesticated dog?
Sanglang was speechless, but he took the initiative to gently touch the lobe of Lu Yewu's right ear with the tip of his moist nose.
Although it was strange, it was a bit strange, but to be honest, Sanglang didn't hate this exorcist girl.
…
Bid farewell to Luye House and send the wolf to walk alone in the forest.
The lantern hung swaying under his neck.
The mountain forest in Songze is still very large. Although the edge of this mountain forest, including the sharp cliffs, has been visited by the Wolf, it has not explored the entire mountain forest.
In the past two days, except for some operations at night to attack the enemy, Lu Yewu usually investigated and collected intelligence in Songze Village during the day, and sent Wolf around in the mountains and forests to see if there were any noteworthy clues.
As we walked, the sky covered by the branches and leaves of the trees was already turning a fishy white, but the fog in the mountain forest was a bit thicker.
Sendlang planned to find a safe place nearby to rest for a while. Although Kaitan didn't need much rest, he still needed to recharge his batteries for the decisive battle in the afternoon.
At this time, it heard the sound of rushing water.
The water in Matsuzawa is not drinkable, and it does not require drinking water as a ghost story.
However, following the sound of water flowing, Sanglang smelled a familiar smell, the fishy smell of water on the leech man.
It took a few more steps forward and found that it had come to a higher steep slope, because it was still in the middle of the mountain forest. Under the steep slope was not the terrifying mist at the outermost edge of the forest, but a dark deep pool.
There is water flowing down the cliff on the edge and into the pool.
The scene around the pool was strange, with cracks in the earth spreading across the ground, like cracks on the ice, crumbling everywhere. The trees were also staggered and broken, like the traces left by a giant python after crawling across the grass.
"Fur."
Sendlang twitched his nose slightly and looked towards the center of the dark pool below.
There seems to be a black thing floating there, making strange squirting sounds from time to time... (End of Chapter)
