Under Kate's insistence, Wuga's objection was of course meaningless. The latter just glared at Yi Liuling, and then went to get the ax honestly.
However, there was no real chopping, because when Wuka started, there was a panicked voice.
"Leave bamboo under the axe!"
"Huh?" Wuka had already swung his ax down, but when he heard the sound, he twisted his waist, swung it in the other direction with the inertia, and then plunged into the grass, "Ouch."
Hearing this voice, Kate and Yi Liuling looked at each other and found surprise in each other's eyes.
Although they already knew that there was a ghost hiding here, according to the version of the story told by Wuga, wasn't the one crying a female ghost? This rich voice clearly sounded like that of a man.
Forget it, it doesn't matter, maybe it's because his voice is shriller when he cries.
Kate retracted her thoughts and squatted down in front of the bamboo: "Are you finally willing to speak?"
"Hmph," with the cold snort of the man, the Kaguya tree also started to sway, and even the surrounding bamboos moved. Then an invisible force field opened up, covering this small area. Shrouded, "Don't today's rangers even follow basic rules?"
Yi Liuling felt that the surrounding environment suddenly became colder, and the scenery also cast a dark filter, a bit like the cemetery he had visited before. By analogy, he probably knew that this should be a secret method that could create an illusion where ghosts could appear during the day.
Sure enough, Yi Liuling saw a cloud of gray mist escaping from the roots of the bamboo, and then condensed into a human shape in front of the two of them.
Just like his voice, he was an adult barbarian man over two meters tall. A large unkempt beard covered more than half of his face, as if he had been coded, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
In contrast, his body was relatively exposed. A huge wound was cut from his left shoulder to his right waist, and the white bones and the edges of the internal organs could be seen through the gap.
This is quite strange, because the relationship between the ghosts and the physical body in the eighth world is closer to the relationship between the pilot and the machine, and physical defects cannot affect the soul. Therefore, even if it is a human race that has died without a complete corpse, their ghosts will not look much different from the living ones except that they are a little more transparent. On the other hand, the ghosts may appear dead because of their resentment during life, but they are still essentially a complete body. soul.
Therefore, for this guy to look like this, either he thinks this look is cool, or he has been hurt enough to traumatize his soul. Moreover, this injury must have been caused during his lifetime, because after turning into a ghost, the original form is fixed, and the injury is mainly manifested through the soul, and there will be no injuries like those of a living person.
This kind of injury is fatal to the body, and naturally fatal to the soul, so Yi Liuling estimated that this guy was killed by this soul slash.
When Yi Liuling looked at the ghost, Kate spoke slowly, with a calm tone and a bit of solemnity: "You should be the senior of the forest guard who can control Kaguya's moonlight force field, and You are a barbarian, and you have suffered such injuries. Could it be that you were from that unknown team a thousand years ago..."
"You still have some eyesight. There is no need to mention the past." The ghost waved his hand, looked at Kate up and down, and frowned, "Are you the leader of the forest guards today? You are quite young. "
Normally, only the forest guards can enter the Kaguya Princess Bamboo Forest in summer, and among the forest guards, only the leader does not wear green armor, so the ghost made this judgment.
"That's not true. I am a student at Kaguya Sai High School, and my name is Kate." After Kate introduced herself, she briefly talked about recent events.
"Stealing bamboo shoots?" After hearing this, the ghost forest guard seemed to remember something, "Yes, there was indeed a man who sneaked into the bamboo forest before, pretending to be a bug, so I knocked him out. "
"He escaped after waking up and has been caught by us now." Kate replied.
The ghost forest guard said "Oh": "Since you have caught it, why do you want to come to the bamboo forest to disturb the concentration of elements again? Or even cut down Kaguya?"
"I didn't really mean to do this, it was just for show." Kate saw the ghost guard's unkind expression and immediately explained, "Although the man was caught by us, he was not the real thief, and my assistant I noticed something strange here, so I planned to use the sunlight to force it to appear, but I didn't expect that the senior forest guard was here."
Hearing this, the ghost finally focused his attention on Yi Liuling, with a somewhat surprised expression: "So he's a semi-spirit? No wonder he found me. But, don't you, little brat, have any idea? The magic power is so great If you are weak and still dare to run around, aren't you afraid of being swallowed by a vicious ghost?"
Why does this ghost speak so strangely? Yi Liuling felt a little weird. It wasn't that he was spoiled by the previous ghosts. He felt that all the spirits in the world should like him, but basically speaking, the ghosts' attitude towards him was not too bad. Depending on the personality, the talkative one will be willing to chat with him, while the bad-tempered one will at most ignore him, but his tone will not be so aggressive.
There was something fishy about it, and Yi Liuling secretly kept a close eye on it.
"Is it a show? Miss Kate, you should have told me earlier." At this time, Wuka, who had thrown himself into the grass at the beginning, supported a thicker Kaguya next to him and reluctantly stood up, using his other hand Pressing his waist, he said in a resentful tone, "I just used all my strength, and now it's down to my waist."
"You're too upright." Although Kate didn't say it out loud, Yi Liuling read the meaning from her face.
The ghost forest guard on the side looked at the green leather armor on Wuka's body, confirmed his identity, and immediately scolded him with a straight face: "How can you, a junior, attack Kaguya? The forest guard has completely forgotten the three commandments. What? You want to carry out what an outsider says casually? Could it be that you are carried away by female sex? "
Is this guy simply rude? After Yi Liuling listened, her expression became strange.
"Senior, you don't know something." Although Wuga is honest and straightforward, he doesn't just listen to instructions. After the ghost forest guard finished speaking, he immediately explained, "Today is no longer what it was back then."
While Wuka was talking to the ghost forest guard, Kate whispered to Yi Liuling about the story of this unknown team.
Purple Haired Bird once said that the first Kaguya Sai was born hundreds of years ago, but that was delayed and lied to gain time for development. Its exact evolution time point should be fifteen hundred years ago. Before that, Kaguya Sai County was called this name mainly because of the lush Kaguya Bamboo Forest. People did not know the existence of the evolved Kaguya Sai, which is why this place was not called Kaguya Sai County.
Since Kaguya Sai has not yet appeared, there is naturally no Kaguya Sai High School. The leader of Kaguya County is a human infinite academy called Shoulin Academy, which is located in the second bamboo mountain at the foot of Iruling and the others.
This academy is made up of locals, with the Bear Eye tribe making up the majority, but there are also barbarians and humans. Although they are not strong, they are quite united because they all have the heart to protect the bamboo forest.
Originally, Kaguya County was a place without too many disputes. However, one day, a Kaguya tree in the bamboo forest behind the forest guard academy suddenly emitted a strange light, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance. Apparently something was going on. kind of mutation.
It can be said that it is extremely difficult for a natural spiritual plant to take a further step. Kaguya finally had signs of evolution, but because of her strange phenomena, she attracted many coveters, including demons, monsters, and even people with abilities. The spirit of action.
In the eyes of other beings, the immature Kaguya Sai was a great tonic. At that time, Kaguya County was extremely weak and could not resist many foreign enemies. Therefore, after some calculations, the top management of the academy designated the transfer of Kaguya Sai. plan.
Most of the academy members stayed behind to resist, pretending that Kaguya Sai was still in the academy. A secret team escorted Kaguya Sai to escape, while another team pretended to escort Kaguya Sai as a cover.
This cover team was the unknown team. They were intercepted before they left the Second Bamboo Mountain and fought to the death for several days, with no survivors. If Yi Liuling came from the other direction, he would see a stone tablet commemorating them standing outside the bamboo forest.
I have to say that Kaguya Sai was very lucky, and such a rough plan actually succeeded. It successfully moved to the first bamboo mountain occupied by Queen Lilith now, took root again, grew and became stronger along the way, and finally founded Kaguya Sai High School.
Some of the survivors of the Forest Guard Academy followed Kaguya Sai and joined the high school, while others were unwilling to abandon their original homes and beliefs, so they stayed at Second Takeyama and continued the previous customs. and the establishment, and became today's ranger.
Although the first generation Kaguya Sai was actually born in the current location of Kaguya Sai High School, its most important growth and evolution was in the First Takeyama, so everyone defaults to the First Takeyama as the place of birth. This second bamboo mountain has been preserved as the base camp of the forest guards and is still developing well.
In other words, in the past, the relationship between the forest guards and Kaguya Sai High School was not superior and subordinate, and Kaguya County was also jointly governed by multiple human forces stationed here. Later, with the arrival of Queen Lilith, Kaguya Sai High School was forced to move and merged with the current Forest Guard. After other forces were expelled, their power radiated to the entire Retreat County.
As a member of the unknown team back then, the Ghost Forester died in this place, and it seemed that he was not very aware of the changes outside. Therefore, in his eyes, cutting down Kaguya's bamboo forest just because of the words of Kaguya Sai High School student is nothing.
