A golden divine power instantly enveloped his whole body, making his discomfort disappear instantly.

Si Bailu smiled gratefully at Youla and then went deep inside.

At the end of the cave, a purple-red torii gate suddenly appeared!

Torii is a characteristic Inazuma building similar to an archway.

Like a door, it represents the entrance to the divine realm.

But at this moment, this "door" was entangled by a black tree root.

The roots of the tree are covered with what looks like black spots.

The aura that made Si Bailu feel uncomfortable before seemed to be emanating from above!

"Why do these branches... give me the feeling of being plagued by a disease?" Si Bailu blurted out subconsciously.

"You are right."

The sudden sound of a strange woman's voice made Si Bailu and Youla's expressions darken.

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw a dark figure standing behind them.

But at this moment, the black shadow gradually revealed its original shape.

It was actually a woman wearing a fox mask and a red and white witch costume!

"Who are you?"

The four elements in Si Bailu's body flowed rapidly, and he simultaneously issued questions to the other party.

But the woman replied in a gentle voice:

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I am harmless to you."

After hearing this, Si Bailu did not lower his guard at all and continued to ask:

"Did you lead us here?"

"Exactly." The witch responded without any hesitation:

"As you can see, you just said 'disease-ridden branches'.

“Actually, it’s the root of the sacred cherry tree at Narukami Taisha Shrine.

“The roots of the sacred cherry tree are specially used to absorb and remove the filth in Inazuma’s land.

“Originally if the situation was normal.

“The roots of the sacred cherry tree can recover on their own just like healthy humans.

“However, in recent years, the pollution in the soil has become increasingly serious for some unknown reason.

“The filth absorbed by the sacred cherry tree is far greater than its own purification ability.

“That’s why it looks like this.

"I asked you to come here because I hope you can help me treat the tree roots here.

“Otherwise if we continue, the filth in the roots of the tree will explode.

"The entire Konta Village will become a land of evil!"

Chapter 362 Hai Luangui

Listening to the masked witch talking a lot, Si Bailu always remained calm.

After the other party finished speaking, he asked the biggest question on his mind:

"Why did you come to me?"

Hearing this question, the masked witch chuckled:

“Because I can sense that you possess a very strange power.

"I'm not sure you can cleanse the roots of a tree.

"But a woman's sixth sense tells me that you have a high probability of success!"

Listening to the woman's implicit flattery, Si Bailu pinched his chin and continued:

"It's not impossible to help you...but what benefit can you give me?"

The masked witch pursed her lips and smiled:

"Isn't the life of a whole village of people in Konta Village not enough?"

Si Bailu shook his head disdainfully:

"You think I'm the kind of person who would work for nothing?"

"I think it is."

The masked witch's answer left Si Bailu speechless.

Fortunately, at this time, the masked witch added:

"Compared to that traveler who regards wealth as his life, I think you should be more talkative.

"Of course, if you successfully help me remove the filth here, I will give you a generous gift!"

Seeing that the other party finally relented, Si Bailu did not rush to answer, but continued to ask:

"Can you tell me what is your name?"

The masked witch pretended to be mysterious and shook her head:

“My identity can be considered part of the gift.

“I’ll tell you later when you actually do it.

"Otherwise, even if I tell you, it won't make any sense."

After hearing this, Si Bailu stopped asking any more questions and immediately turned back to look at the polluted tree roots.

The cave is empty except for birdhouses and tree roots.

There are also five strange devices that resemble small cage niches.

One to five magatama-shaped objects float above these devices.

Seeing that Si Bailu was puzzled, the masked witch introduced:

“These are prayer devices used by the ancients to guide the condensation of tree roots into shape.

“Just activate the prayer device according to the patterns in the center of the torii.

“You can guide the dirt in the roots of the tree and condense it into an entity that can be destroyed.

"In this way, it will be easier to 'treat' the tree roots."

Si Bailu turned to look at the star pattern in the center of the torii.

Then he looked at the distribution positions of the five prayer devices, and instantly found the pattern.

But at the same time, he also had a confusion in his heart:

"This decryption shouldn't be difficult. You can find the rules with just a little thought.

"Why don't you ask someone from the Inazuma officialdom to help you?"

The masked witch was silent for a few seconds and replied truthfully:

“Nowadays, Dao Wife’s life has changed, and I don’t know most of the officials in power.

“The few people I know are beyond my reach.

“In addition, with my current physical condition, if I show up, I will probably be treated as a monster.

“So I can only place my hope on the destined people passing by.

“In addition, because it takes sufficient strength to remove filth.

“In order to prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering here and causing unnecessary casualties.

“So these blessing devices need to be driven by people with a reverse level.

"But even so, it doesn't mean that people at the reverse level have the ability to exorcise enemies formed by condensation of filth.

“Especially now that the concentration of filth absorbed by the roots of the sacred cherry tree has reached such a terrifying level.

"Ordinary reversal experts are also difficult to do this job, and the difficulty for me to select targets has also greatly increased...

"Being able to meet you is the greatest luck I have had in recent years.

"Of course, if that traveler got here before you, I don't think I would bother you specifically."

After hearing this explanation, Si Bailu had a rough idea:

"Okay then, leave the rest of the work to me.

"You just need to be responsible for preparing the rewards."

Hearing this, the masked witch laughed like a silver bell.

The sweet laughter even made Si Bailu feel in a trance!

However, the masked witch quickly realized that she had lost her composure and coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.

Then she bowed to Si Bailu gracefully:

"Then I will wait for your good news."

After saying that, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Si Bailu shook his head and then looked at the devices around him.

At this time, Yula, who was alert, said:

"Are you sure you want to help her? What if the evil demon is sealed here?"

Hearing this, Si Bailu smiled disapprovingly:

"Don't worry. Although I never did this side mission in the game in my previous life.

“But it’s more or less known elsewhere.
