Genshin Impact: The Journey Begins with a Battle

The next morning, Kikyo packed up her belongings and said goodbye to the villagers one by one. Although the villagers were reluctant to let her go, they also knew that a shrine maiden with outstanding abilities like Kikyo must have a strong background.

Simply trying to keep her would only leave a bad impression on her, so it would be better to bid farewell to this selfless shrine maiden with sincerity.

Kikyo and General Raiden traveled together. They never saw the figure of the girl named Sayo from beginning to end. It was obvious that what happened yesterday was hard for her to accept, and she wanted to avoid Kikyo.

Kikyo didn't want to complain, she roughly guessed the result, and walked tacitly with General Raiden in the morning towards the town where the daimyo was.

After walking for most of the day, Kikyo and General Raiden finally walked out of the rugged road and came to the local village, but when they approached the village, they could see the vigilant eyes of the villagers.

"There is something wrong with the atmosphere in this village. There is a demonic presence."

Kikyo said solemnly. You know, there are many kinds of demons, and their abilities are all kinds of strange. Even she can't say that she knows the details of the demons.

But before Kikyo could continue, several women hurriedly ran to Kikyo and knelt down, their voices choked.

General Lei Dian also clearly saw the red and swollen eyes of these women, the sadness, and their skinny bodies.

"My lady the witch, please help us!"

"Woohoo~, my Hanako disappeared the night before yesterday, I was so scared~"

"They must have been captured by monsters, you must help us!"

……

Kikyo was also a little unhappy with the women's behavior for a while, but she still used her spiritual power to enhance the appeal of her voice, and said in a calm and soothing tone:"If you want to find your children, please be quiet, otherwise if you delay too much time, their situation will be more dangerous."

As Kikyo spoke, the women also began to calm down, and at Kikyo's signal, one by one told her about the disappearance of their children.

General Lei Dian did not pay too much attention to the questions and answers between the woman and Kikyo, but kept looking around the dilapidated village. She found that there were very few adult men in the village, and it was a group of women working in the fields.

At this time, an old man in his forties walked up to General Lei Dian, bowed respectfully to General Lei Dian, and asked with a somewhat nervous tone:"Master Samurai, I am the village chief here. I wonder where you and this shrine maiden are from."

General Lei Dian just took a simple look and guessed a lot of his thoughts, so he said:"We came down from the Yingxiangshan Mingshen Taisha to practice. We saw that there was a demon in this village, so we came to consult a little, hoping to contribute a little to everyone." When the village chief heard General Lei Dian's answer and saw the three thunder patterns in the divine eye that General Lei Dian accidentally revealed, his eyes suddenly became eager.

General Lei Dian smiled slightly. You know, in the past five years, the reputation of Mingshen Taisha has spread to several surrounding countries, especially those shrine maidens who have the ability to subdue demons and monsters, and the magical rice that can produce a thousand kilograms of grain per mu.

Capable farmers have all gone to the daimyo who have joined General Raiden and planted rice. The crazy grain output has made other countries jealous, and the reputation of Narukami Taisha has spread to most of Japan.

Although Kikyo doesn't know what Narukami Taisha stands for, seeing the reverence in the eyes of the old man who claims to be the village chief, she knows that Narukami Taisha has a very good reputation in this country.

"It turned out to be two adults from Naruto-taisha Shrine. Please forgive us for our impoliteness just now!"

"This is human nature, the children's situation is more important!"

The village chief hesitated, looked at the women who were crying, and made up his mind in his heart, saying:"Alas, more than a dozen children have been lost in the three villages near us in the past half month."

"We once asked an onmyoji and a shrine maiden to check on the situation. They both said that a demon had kidnapped the child, but their magic power was too low to do anything. We could only hope for the best."

"But these women who lost their children couldn't bear the loss of their children and cried all day long, and the farm work had to be delayed, which was also a headache for us."

At this time, Kikyo also walked slowly to the village chief, with a dignified and steady temperament, and looked particularly holy under the sun.

"I have roughly guessed what kind of monster was responsible for this matter."

The village chief was very surprised to hear Kikyo's answer. He did not expect that Kikyo would find the identity information of the monster in such a short time.

"It appears at night, its voice is like a baby crying, it likes children very much, and it appears and disappears mysteriously. It must be the legendary Guhuo bird."

"Guhuo Bird?"

Seeing the doubts of the women and the village chief, Kikyo simply told them some things about the Guhuo Bird, saying that their children should be fine, and they could only save the children by getting rid of the monster.

General Lei Dian had no intention of stopping Kikyo. If the children were really saved, bigger troubles would come again. Sometimes, only after experiencing it, she could understand.

Kikyo borrowed some children's underwear and hair from the women, formed seals with her hands, and chanted ancient spells. A round ball of light emerged from it and rushed in one direction.

General Lei Dian gave a few instructions to the village chief, and then walked into the mountains and forests with Kikyo, leaving the women still looking forward to the backs of the two men leaving.

Kikyo quickly followed the direction of the light ball, and the grass and trees under her feet could not stop her pace at all.���

"Miss Beichen, did you find anything in the village?"

General Lei Dian touched the Tianmu Kage Tachi at his waist and said without hesitation:"I just felt a long-lost desire to fight, and I want to compete with her in swordsmanship.

" Kikyo nodded in understanding, with a convincing tone, but said:"This is really difficult.

If it is the Guhuo Bird transformed by the resentment of the pregnant woman, only one arrow is needed to solve the problem, but if it is the Guhuo Bird inherited from the bloodline of Guiche, I will trouble Miss Beichen to help deal with it.

"

General Lei Dian did not speak, but pulled out the Tianmu Kage Tachi and looked at it carefully. The meaning was already very clear.

Kikyo was also relieved. Now she was a little struggling to deal with high-level monsters. If it was in her prime, she would still be confident to conquer the Guhuo Bird of the Monster King's bloodline and fight against those big monsters.

Kikyo inadvertently got closer to General Lei Dian.
