Chapter 355: Twenty Years of Vertical and Horizontal Life (asking for monthly ticket)

"Huh? Nami? Could she be..."

After seeing the description, Xu Shu was shocked.

To him, the name "Nami" has a terrifying deterrent power. The scene of the forbidden god's "destruction of all living things with one thought" is still vivid in his mind.

Could it be that the person in front of me is Izanami?

If you think about it carefully, this, this doesn't seem impossible!
For example, the three continents of Amahara, Nebara and Ashihara here are suspended above the dead water of the Underworld Sea. The dead water of the Underworld Sea...can't this correspond to the "Sea of ​​Death" in reality to a certain extent?
In other words, the world of "Ashihara Ambush" is based on the same world as the previous "Fall of Kyoto" and "Ruins of the Dead".
It's just that they are at different points in time, belonging to an older era? Similar to the origin of xx civilization?
As one of the former "Internet folklorists", Xu Shu could not help but have many doubts. He began to carefully look at the human woman in front of him and silently compared:

"Well, her facial features are delicate and soft, her figure is slim and voluptuous, her hands are white and soft, her eyes are charming and she looks like a married woman, but her skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it, even more tender than a sixteen-year-old girl..."

The woman pulled her hand away from his hand and said timidly and shrewdly, "Mr. Niu Mo, you can bargain, but please don't use force. My bottom line is 300 magatama for a one-way trip. If it's a round trip, I can give you a 50% discount on the return trip."

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu touched the bull's nose awkwardly.

After some comparison, he found that he could not tell whether the 'Nami' in front of him was 'Izanami'.

The reason was simple, because he found that although he could remember all the details of the legend, he could not remember His appearance.

"Perhaps this is the characteristic of a forbidden-level existence? One can remember to a certain extent, but cannot recreate the scene through recall?"

Xu Shu seemed to be thinking about something, then gave up thinking and continued to give a brief description while looking at the Taichu Scroll in front of him:

[As expected of a natural minotaur, you have a strong desire for Nami, who has the attributes of a wife, and try to compare her with the Mother of the Kingdom of God, with whom you have had twenty casual affairs.]

[You better pray that you don't actually remember anything.]

[After some negotiations, you successfully cut her base price and offered 250 magatama to cross the Nether Sea.]

[“She said the bottom line is 300. Haha, I definitely won’t accept it easily. But I’ll stop as long as you get about 80% off. Who told me I’m a very poor bull demon?” You weighed the less than 400 magatama you’ve accumulated over decades in your stomach and calculated silently.]

[“Deal.” Nami easily accepted your counter-offer and crawled into the water. Mushrooms under her armpits began to grow and turned into a pair of fleshy wings. She stirred the sea water to make it turbid and said to you, “Get on board.”]

[It turns out that she has a special swimming skill that can release powerful yellow mud to form her own unique territory within a certain range in front of her, in order to counter the characteristic of "the dead water of the underworld sea where nothing can float". ]

[“Fuck, this is insane!” You sighed, then rode on this humanoid boat, paddled, and crossed the sea.]

【? 】

[You seem to have some unreasonable expectations. Taichujuan helped you withdraw a "God-defying" item. Be careful next time and don't try to cheat for rewards.]

[The time on the Dark Sea was very difficult. From time to time, you saw a large ship full of various strange creatures next to you, which was overtaken by you. It can be seen that although Nami is a small ship and can only carry you, it has a great advantage in speed. ]

【The people on the big ship are all creatures or evil spirits who are going to the prosperous world 'Root Continent'. They yearn for the beauty of that rich land. It is said that the human race on the Root Continent is very strong and once established the Root Country that unified the continent, but later it was divided in war. Now there are dozens of small countries, which are constantly at war with each other. This is a good opportunity for the evil spirits to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder and achieve their careers.】

[During this period, you also saw that some ships were unlucky enough to be hit by strange storms, and countless evil spirits sank to the bottom of the sea. Among them, there are many members of the '100 Strongest Clans of Reed Plains' like you, and their individual strength is very strong. ]

[But after falling into the underworld, they just disappeared, as if they were swallowed up by the underworld and had never appeared before.]

[There was only one tall man, standing on one leg on a flagpole above the water, using a large flag to temporarily catch the many evil spirits that fell into the water, and begging for help: "I am from the ancient Owari Bugyo clan, and I hope friends passing by can help me!"]

[Nami can only carry one person, so you can't help her. Besides, this person seems sincere, but he is actually very sinister. He rolled up his golden umbrella and sprayed thick fog, covering the surroundings and restricting the space, forcing you to stay.]

[“Damn you bitch!” You were about to be dragged into the water, but luckily your talent saved your life. You activated the “Bull Run” skill, causing Nami’s paddling speed to break the world record, and she ran away.]

[“…You are so heartless and immoral that you did not save someone from death. I will kill you!” The tall man gritted his teeth as he looked at your back and swore silently.]

[“You dare to kill me? This person has already decided to die! However, is leaving the barren land the ambition of all the people in the Awahara? I have a destiny of ‘ambitions higher than the sky but life weaker than paper’, so I won’t end up in a place like this, will I?” You couldn’t help but feel a little worried, and hugged Nami’s waist tightly. ]

[Fortunately, after seven days of sailing, you successfully arrived at the other side of the sea, which is the most fertile land in the world, with more than eight hours of sunshine a day.]

[“Yakitsugu, the people of Gudu City are vindictive. Try not to get close to Owari Province. That is the territory they rule. Be careful of their revenge.”]

[You and Nami have established a deep friendship along the way. Before she left, she gave you careful instructions and took away your 250 magatama.]

[You naturally keep it in mind. From Reed Plain to Root Plain, you have seen many strong people along the way, such as the man from the Gu family and the boat princess Nami in front of you. They are all much stronger than you. You know that your strength is far from enough and you need to continue to accumulate.]

[Through communication with Nami, you learned that after the evil spirits of Reed Plain entered the Root Plain Continent, those with high strength would be hired by local forces as "guardian gods" to protect the local human population from interference from some evil spirits. In return, they could enjoy incense and improve their strength.]

……

"It turns out that the path that the evil spirits in this world take is to become gods through incense and fire, including myself...

"Well, the so-called evil spirits that are causing trouble are actually the evil spirits of hundreds of tribes that came here from the barren reed fields and found no offerings, so they devoured living people to satisfy their appetites...

"Strange, why do I feel like I'm seeing something?"

Xu Shu muttered to himself, visited the surroundings, and finally decided to settle down temporarily on an island.

The layout of this place is somewhat similar to that of 'Siniu Island', except that it consists of two islands facing each other instead of four.

The area is famous for its trade and minerals. The horse-faced statue enshrined on each mountain top is the original patron saint of the area.

He found out the strength of the "Horse-Faced Monsters". It turned out that they were a couple of opposite-sex twins, and they were as strong as him in one-on-one combat.

But if the couple team up and fight two against one, their chances of winning will be higher.

After some thought, Xu Shu decided that he could not just fight head-on, but had to defeat them one by one.

So, he pretended to be an evil spirit, committed crimes everywhere in the middle of the night, and finally attracted the mare. Through his personal charm and the special skill of "Bull Run Fast", he used the abilities he had acquired over the years to successfully persuade her to betray her husband and turn to his arms. After several days of lovemaking, he and the mare confirmed their lover relationship, united the front, united to kill the stallion, and successfully occupied the Tsushima Island, which was renamed "Bull Horse Island".

The locals were very adaptable and did not think there was anything wrong with one of the horse-faced gods turning into an ox-headed god, so they began to worship the "Ox-headed and Horse-faced God".

【? 】

[God-defying, what do you mean by defeating them one by one? ]

[“Just tell me whether it’s broken or not.” You are very proud and start to enjoy the incense offerings on Niuma Island.]

[You strive to be the best, practice hard, and your strength improves by leaps and bounds, but unfortunately you reach a bottleneck after just a few years. ]

[In the past few years, you have been keeping in touch with Nami, your former ship girl, through letters. You have become pen pals who can talk about anything. You are diligent and studious, and have learned a lot from her. You know that if you want to go further, you need more incense.]

[You bid farewell to the pregnant Horse-Faced Lady, packed your bags, and set out on a journey to conquer the world.]

[The patron saint of Kaga Province, Bone Girl, likes to play Pai Gow. You used your own cow bones to make a set of Amino dominoes, which won her favor. You successfully ascended to the throne and became the Goddess of Kaga Cow. You built a "Cow Bone Shrine". ]

[You, who are worshipped by the people of both places, have indeed broken through your limits and your strength has increased significantly. ]

[A few dozen days later, you came to the bottleneck again. This time, you did not hesitate and immediately left your sister, the bone girl who had given birth to a "bull-headed skull", and headed for Suruga.]

[The people of Suruga make their living by fishing. There are many large rivers in the area, and they have long since retired to the rear and have not participated in the war. The people live and work in peace.]

[The guardian deity of this place, Hashihime, was a little female ghost who jumped into the river for fun when she had nothing better to do. You used a trick to make her fall into the sea, and she drifted along the river. Hashihime jumped off the bridge, which was exactly what you wanted. She became your husband and wife, and the "Ushihashi Shrine" was built here. ]

[Your followers are already distributed in three territories. Three! Looking at the entire Root Continent, you can be considered a quasi-powerful person. If you can defend your territory, living for five hundred years is not a problem.]

[However, you are not satisfied after tasting the sweetness. You think that the limit of your cultivation is not the real limit. There are still so many places in the world where your name "Bull Demon King Yakijuchang" is not spread. This shows that you still have more room for promotion. You really want to improve! Pack your bags and set off again! ]

[The charm of Shiranui from Satsuma is still there, and it is easy to take her down;]

[Itsukushima goddess Kinnara is charming and plump, and she also won;]

[There is also the knowledgeable and talented Professor Box Girl, the Pufferfish Blue Princess whose face turns red when she blows air, and the light and portable Night Guardian Gourd Bird...]

【Get them! Get them all! 】

[Your ambition is higher than the sky. You fight tirelessly in all directions. You work together with the patron saints of different countries to establish close ties and build many "husband and wife shrines" to attract worshippers.]

[In the past twenty years, you have become famous all over the world. You have left legends in more than 80% of the countries and become one of the most famous super guardian gods in the entire Root Continent! ]

[Your strength is already very, very strong, far surpassing the ancestors of the Bull Demon Clan;]

[Your life span is long and endless, and no one knows when it will end. You are well-deserving of the title of "Bull Demon King."]

[However, the closer you are to the Way of Heaven, the more you can sense its terror.]

[You discover that in this world, there is still a gap that even you, a "human god", cannot cross. That is the true realm of God.]

[“Becoming a god…is not easy after all~”]

[In the morning, you push away the cold-outside-warm-inside-out snow girl in bed, walk to the "Snow Ugly Shrine" on the border of Mount Hiei, take off a letter stuck on the shrine, slowly unfold it, and your cow brows gradually frown. ]

[This letter comes from a name you don’t really want to hear: Gu Xingren.]

[Thinking back to the time when you had a fight with this person, it seems to have gradually become blurred. You only remember a tall figure standing on a black flag, waving a golden umbrella, trying to keep you. ]

[It turns out that you have also heard about the strength of the Gu family after all these years of war. They have become one of the most powerful human nations on the continent, and are known as the "Three Great Root Families" together with the Orleans family in Oshu and the Mogoku family in Kyushu.]

[Among them, the head of the Gu family is none other than this rising star, Gu Xingren, who is very powerful and his reputation is no less than yours.]

[This time, Gu Xingren wants to invite you to a gathering in Gudu City in an attempt to win you over.]

[After all, as one of the strongest guardian gods in the Root Continent, you have a very high strategic value. ]

[“I never expected that, except for me, the other three character options were not the Awihara Evil Spirit… Then why is the legendary coordinate called Awihara Ambition?”]

[You were a little confused, but you didn't believe Gu Xingren. You had long been deeply resentful of his attempt to blackmail you and kill you. Now, although he has taken the initiative to put aside his attitude and want to make peace with you, you are unwilling to do so.]

[“This guy has a traitor in his mind. He will definitely stab me in the back someday. I might as well take this opportunity to get rid of him!”]

[You silently calculated, wrote back to Gu Xingren to express your willingness to go to the gathering, and quietly contacted the other two human race strongmen, agreeing to get rid of this fat sheep Gu Xingren together.]

[The date of the appointment passed in a flash, and you had already made plans and went to the appointment alone. When you arrived, you also met several other powerful guardian gods who were as famous as you. ]

[The building was decorated with lights and red banners of congratulations were everywhere, with your names written on them, including "Nine-tailed Fox Tamamonomae", "Never Seen Nanyang Emperor Shitian", and "Yamata no Orochi" which seems to be of the same clan as you, "Bull Demon King Yamata Kusanagi", but is actually a different species.]

[It can be seen that the Gu family attaches great importance to this meeting. ]

[As soon as you arrived, Gu Xingren smiled and waved his hand, the city gate closed, revealing the super formation 'Prison Gate Frontier', and the other three guardian gods also stood at the three core positions of the formation, showing you an evil smile. ]

[Oops, you got fooled! ]

【This is an ambush for you! 】
