Chapter 569

Zhuji suddenly remembered the first day she came to the village, she was almost taken away by Shen Shen, but luckily Takuma saved her life later.

"Don't think too much, maybe in a few days, you will know that they really asked for leave because of illness or other personal matters."

Takuma said rudely.

"If you want to investigate whether those people were really taken away by the gods, it would be the fastest to ask the gods directly."

Takuma looked at Juki with a troubled expression on his face.

"Brother Big Snake, I'm sure I'll be able to think of a good solution right away. But I don't use my brain, and I can't put you in danger—"

Zhu Ji shook his head with a slight smile.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, anyway, you will protect me."

To put it simply, Takuma looked at Suki helplessly, then sighed and walked forward.

"You're not Brother Zhuo, there's no need to learn from him!"

Zhu Ji immediately added this sentence, and Takuma responded casually as if impatient.

Zhu Ji thought again of the day they first met.

Takuma at that time also said that he was "not good at explaining" as before.

However, it feels like a long time has passed...

Under the leadership of Takuma, Zhu Ji came to the alien forest where the treasure was once sealed.

The forest at dusk was silent.

However, the forest, which was originally extremely silent, is now full of astonishing noises.

Although there is no difference in appearance, Zhu Ji can feel it.

There are all kinds of auras, ready to move in the dark.

A host of unseen creatures--all terribly ferocious, as if they would grab Juki and eat them alive at the slightest opportunity.

"Takuma, don't you think this place seems weird?"

Takuma nodded affirmatively.

"These gods have gained power and become more violent. They probably want to capture and eat you, a weak but high-potential person! If you are afraid, I will send you back."

Hearing what Takuma said, Zhu Ji couldn't help trembling, but she still decided not to go back.

Takuma turned his head to look at Juki, and sighed helplessly.

Still, he patted Juji on the shoulder and started walking forward.

In the forest, only Zhu Ji and the two made footsteps.

Every time he took a step, the woods—no, the foreign objects lurking in the woods made a commotion.

An invisible aura surrounded Zhuji and the two in a circle, but it didn't seem like it was going to attack.

"Why don't they rush over?"

"Because there is a monster here, they can't win even if they fight together."

Takuma pointed at himself and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Takuma, you're not a monster!"

Zhu Ji felt sour in her heart, and said hastily.

Takuma didn't answer, but just walked forward with all his strength, Zhu Ji desperately chased after him.

Come to an open space in the deepest part of the alien forest, and there it is.

It may not be correct to say "it", and it may be more appropriate to change it to "that breath".

The setting sun at dusk shone on Zhuji and the others without any cover, but Zhuji and the others were in a huge shadow.

A huge figure unfolded under his feet, but he couldn't see where the owner of this shadow was at all. It was like a huge transparent person, and he could only feel a great sense of oppression in front of him.

Zhu Ji was no stranger to that breath.

The mountain god, that is, the mountain god who was defeated by Ain and Cibai...

"Why did you come? Mortal."

"It spoke?"

Zhu Ji blurted out in surprise.

However, that is something specious with the speaking voice.

It sounded directly in the mind, not a sound, but a wave of thoughts.

"Are you so anxious because of those powerful guys?"

Takuma didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked straight to the point. Obviously, he and the mountain god had known each other for a long time.

"My body has existed for thousands of years, how can mortals destroy it? However, I still need a little sleep..."

"Recently, has anything strange happened?"

"The gods are constantly noisy, making it difficult for me to sleep. I still remember the past, and there were such things. It was a thousand years ago, and the gods were the same. They really disturbed my peace."

Invisible to the naked eye.I saw the god who got the shadow, and there was a little nostalgia in his tone.

Thousands of years ago—it was probably the time when the seal was released in order to slay oni.

"Excuse me……"

As soon as Zhuji opened his mouth, the mountain god moved his upper body closer to Zhuji with great interest.

"Wonderful, what do weak people like you want to ask me?"

The invisible breath is right in front of Zhu Ji, and she can almost hear it, which she can feel.

Zhu Ji couldn't help shaking with fright, but——

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it has no malicious intentions, and I will protect you in case something happens, don't worry!"

While talking, Takuma held Suki's hand tightly.

That alone stopped the trembling.

"Is it because of the influence of Onizumaru that the gods are in a commotion?"

"- Oni Zhanmaru? Are you referring to the huge power that is sealed? It is exactly that this thing bestows the power of the world to the gods, but this power is too great, making the gods forget themselves and lose their minds. This is the uniqueness of this thing Wei."

Missing strongly shook Zhu Ji's mind.

Suddenly, the shadow that seemed to be yelling in the ear suddenly left in front of Zhu Ji.

"I'm tired, let me sleep."

The wave of longing seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep.

"Wait! Please wait a moment! Now there is a mysterious incident in this village, and several people have disappeared in just a few days. Could this be done by God?"

However, the mountain god only replied impatiently: "I don't know, the chaos of the gods has not come to this point... Even though, it will come true sooner or later."

As soon as the mountain god stopped speaking, the aura quietly disappeared.

After a while, when Zhuji and the others were about to go back, a small wave of thoughts like a whisper came into the minds of Zhuji and the others.

"Guardian, I have a long history of friendship with your blood family, so I give you a word of advice."

Hearing these words, Zhu Ji and the two turned their heads, only to see that huge invisible figure standing still in place——

"I know there is something ominous in your body, if the time comes, you should kill yourself, that would be the best policy..."

"You. What are you talking about?"

Zhu Ji called out without thinking, Takuma should be angry of course, but he didn't speak, his eyes were staring at the setting sun in the forest.

Looking carefully, the corner of Takumo's mouth smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of cold sadness, Zhu Ji didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent.

And that strange oppressive aura is long gone.

By the time we walked out of the forest, the sun had completely set.

Suki and Takuma walked slowly along the path by the river on their way home.

The moon and stars are also bright and shining tonight, shining and shining in the dark night.

The sound of the river's water slightly teased the ears, and the bright moon and stars reflected on the water surface were swaying and twinkling.
