Kikyo and I are of one mind

But seeing Kagome's really silly face that day, he couldn't bear to say it again, and just shook his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, the road leading to the so-called exit was not blocked. Although most of them would get the advice of "don't go to death" when they asked the villagers, they didn't encounter rigid obstacles until they entered the bamboo forest.

"Tch, it's as if we're sure we won't be able to get out!" Inuyasha clicked his tongue in displeasure, but Kagome looked around carefully. Seeing her like this, Feng Xue remembered to turn on her spirit vision and observe the surrounding conditions.

"Insufficient exercise." Kikyo's voice came to mind in his mind, and Feng Xue was a little embarrassed by the tone of a strict teacher.

"After all, I'm still not used to it." Feng Xue muttered a few words and concentrated on capturing the various (emmm...) air currents in the bamboo forest. Compared to his inadaptability, Kagome, the natural owner of spiritual vision, was much more relaxed.

Her spiritual vision had long been integrated with her normal vision. Compared with Feng Xue's dizzyingly dazzling color patches, all she saw was a faint halo.

"It's strange. Although there are strange feelings everywhere, it doesn't seem to be a monster." Kagome looked left and right, and couldn't help showing a puzzled look. Hearing what Kagome said, Inuyasha couldn't help sniffling, then shook his head road:

"Although it's not a demonic aura, it's very similar to a demonic aura. I used the friction between them and the demonic aura to cut out the wound of the wind."

"I think you should think about how to deal with these guys instead of entangled in the problem of evil spirit." Feng Xue interrupted the communication between the two, Inuyasha followed Feng Xue's words, but saw nothing, was about to With a few words of sarcasm, the bamboo forest in the distance suddenly became commotion.

"Could it be that you recruited these guys?" Inuyasha said maliciously, but he also understood that this should not be the case.

The bamboo forest was opened like a curtain, and a huge ghost rushed out from behind the forest. Although she had witnessed such a scene once, Kagome still felt quite shocked.

But after all, she has seen the big world. After being slightly stunned, she immediately took off the bow and arrow behind her, aimed at the one in the front row, and shot it.

The arrow drew a blazing white trace, directly hit the head of the headed big ghost, and easily pierced into its skull.

only……

"Strange, why is it not purified?"

Chapter 149 The Situation

In a sense, Kikyo's Arrow of Destroying Demons and Kagome's Arrows of Destroying Demons are different.

because.Kagome has not studied systematically.

Compared with Kikyo's specially learned and delicate operation, Kagome completely regards the power of breaking magic as my own thinking. From the perspective of dnd, if Kikyo is a mage, then Kagome is a born warlock.

She doesn't know how to use the magic-breaking power, instead, the magic-breaking power will attach itself to the arrow when she needs it.

But that also creates a problem.

That is Kagome's lack of "initiative" to take the initiative to resist the magic-breaking spiritual power attack.

To put it simply, when encountering a thief, Kikyo can take the initiative to choose him as evil, and then bombard him with demon-breaking spiritual power. Although there is no special attack on monsters, at least there is attribute damage.And if Kagome shoots arrows at the thieves, her demon-breaking spiritual power won't even activate.

Of course, this is only limited to human beings. This is the first time that Kagome's demon-breaking spiritual power has failed when facing such a big guy who is obviously a monster.

But now there is no time to think about it so much. The raw swallow ghost with an arrow in his forehead let out an angry roar, and swung his exaggerated arm vigorously. .

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Gouzi's tone was rampant, and he rushed forward with his iron teeth that were not yet easy to use.

Although the Iron Broken Tooth was unreasonably heavy in Gouzi's hands at this time, after being polished and adjusted by Dao Dao Zhai, this knife is much sharper than when it was first started. Even if there is no wind injury, it is only used as a There is absolutely no problem with using heavy weapons.

"Speaking of..."

"What?" Kagome, who was marveling at why her Demon-Breaking Arrow didn't purify the ghosts, heard Feng Xue's whisper, and immediately turned her head to look, and then heard Feng Xue's strange expression:

"There are no females among these raw ghosts."

"Is now the time to think about this?" Kagome's expression suddenly became weird, but Feng Xue touched her chin and said:

"No, this is actually very important, you think, if there are females in these ghosts, it means that they are likely to have their own ecology, such as nests, villages, and reproduce through sexual reproduction, what do you think it means ?”

Kagome shook her head, she was just a middle school student, how could she understand this?

"Alas..." Feng Xue sighed, and said helplessly:

"If there are females, it means that they are not created out of thin air, they are not endless, and they will not run out no matter how many are killed, but will kill less and less. But now I have encountered more than 20 raw animals. Swallowed ghosts, but still haven't seen a female, which means that these ghosts either have strict male hunting rules, or have only a very small number of females full-time production, or, considering the most extreme cases-they have no females at all, It's grown entirely out of the soil."

"So that's how it is!" Kagome understood now, and tapped her palm hard, but looking at her not-so-intelligent face, one would always wonder if she really understood.

"Anything is fine, hurry up and stay away!"

Inuyasha's roar came from a distance, and when he looked up, he found that Gouzi had been dragged by three raw swallow ghosts, and the remaining raw swallow ghosts passed Gouzi, whose agility was affected by the heavy iron broken teeth, and continued to rush towards this side.

"It's surprising, Gouzi actually cares about others." Feng Xue casually complained, but Kagome didn't panic at all, because with her eyesight, she could easily see that Feng Xue had already completely covered the surrounding tens of meters with silk thread.

Although these monsters called Raw Swallowing Ghosts can easily break the thread, after layers of thread, no matter how great the strength is, it will eventually be consumed.

The Raw Swallowing Ghost who was charging stopped, Feng Xue smiled and pulled her hand, and as a black silk thread was tightened rapidly, a small house-like head shot up into the sky.

"The country is dead!" Kagome has also seen many big scenes. Seeing such a scene of blood flying everywhere, she has no fear at all, but her exclamation deeply stimulated Gouzi. He frantically (crazy dog?) brandished the big knife in his hand, and slashed at the body of Raw Swallowing Ghost.

Although the sharpness of Tie Sui Fang was indeed enough to kill the Swallowing Ghost, Gou Zi hadn't received professional knowledge of knife skills. He hadn't even touched a knife until half a year ago, let alone a special crash training like Feng Xue's.

Just like Dao Dao Zhai's previous evaluation, the way he wields Tie Sui Ya is not like using a famous knife, but like a farmer wielding a hatchet.

Especially now that the iron broken tooth is still very heavy.

Feng Xue will quickly deal with the approaching Raw Swallowing Ghost, but the consumption of Chakra by the "Kuroshio" is somewhat beyond expectations, so that the output of the Chakra Ring is close to the limit.

The lethality of Qiu Daoyu is indeed good, but the consumption is also staggering.Abandoning the Kuroshio Quick Kill, Feng Xue should use sharpened alloy wires at first. I have to say, I am used to the indestructible Taoist Jade, and then use these sharp metal wires, I always feel that something is missing.

At least when dealing with the Raw Swallowing Ghost, the attack that could have hit the owl's head in one hit can only be cut in one-third, and even the Raw Swallowing Ghost's bones cannot be cut off.

"The number is increasing!" In Kagome's spiritual vision, the unique spiritual light of the raw swallowing ghost became more and more intense. Feng Xue, who also had the spiritual vision on, also noticed this, and the corrugated silk threads moved towards It spread around, and at the same time he opened his mouth and said to Gouzi:

"It's almost done, let's withdraw first!"

"Don't order me!" Gouzi chopped open a raw swallowing ghost, although he said no, he still obediently withdrew it.

……

"Old man, is there any secret behind your child being locked up? Don't worry, we will help you!" Just as Feng Xue and others were fighting the Raw Swallowing Ghost, Mai Le, who was good at dealing with women, gently asked the old woman outside the warehouse.

But to his surprise, the old woman did not ask him to save her child, but explained in her old voice:

"My son was not very smart when he was born. When he was a child, he ran into the bamboo forest again and met the raw swallowing ghost. Although he came back alive, he was completely frightened and stupid. Generally, everyone would not bully him. It's just that the harvest festival is only a few days away, so the village will lock him up..."

Hearing the same explanation as Junsuke before, Maitreya frowned slightly. Based on his experience of traveling all over the world over the years, if the old woman's son would really be hurt, then as a mother, even if there was only a little hope, the old woman would hold on to it tightly. There are indeed no outsiders around now. Could it be that the old woman's son is really just locked up?

Chapter 1 Proof of God's Presence

"Master, how is your situation?" Back at the dilapidated hotel, Shan Shan immediately saw Maitreya who was arranging firewood, and immediately stepped forward to ask.

Mitreya shook his head lightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, but he still replied: "There is no result. The old woman's words are no different from what Junsuke said before. Where are you?"

"I didn't find any useful information. The people in the village seemed to be avoiding me. I ran into a few of them occasionally, but they didn't intend to talk. I walked around the village. Except for the village head and Shunsuke, I also talked to the villager when I entered the village. But the attitude of the villager was still very bad." Shan Shan shook her head, thinking about the behavior of those villagers who avoided her like a plague, and felt very depressed.

However, she didn't think there was any problem with this. In other words, normal villages would subconsciously stay away from combinations such as demon masters and monsters.

"Well, this is also a common thing, we still wait..."

"Crack!" Before Maitreya finished speaking, a red slap print appeared on his face, and the coral that caused all this seemed to have realized what happened, but he still said solemnly:

"It would be great if Master Mage could keep his hands quieter when he spoke."

"..." Mitreya moved Hu Lai's right hand a bit, looking at the coral that hit him with conditioned reflex, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mitreya, are you messing around again?" Just as the two of them were interacting with each other, Qibao's voice came from the door. Mitreya really wanted to say, "Lust can't be called bullshit, and lustful things can be called bullshit", but Considering that he might be beaten, he chose to keep his mouth shut, and changed the subject: "Qibao, did you find anything?"

"The open space in the village can fly high, but as long as you deviate from the open space, you will feel terrible pressure. I just deflected a little, and my demon fox technique almost failed." Qibao said here, showing a look of lingering fear.

Hearing this, Maitreya showed a somewhat uneasy expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"If my guess is correct, there may be gods in this bamboo forest."

"God, how could there be such a thing?"

As soon as Feng Xue entered the door, she heard Maitreya talking about the God of the Bamboo Forest, and immediately asked curiously.

"It's not a great god in the orthodox belief, but an elf similar to the land god." Shan Shan took over the topic and explained, as if talking about a couple's comic dialogue, "In this era, the boundaries between gods and monsters are not clear. If a piece of land is enshrined by people, Spirits will be born, and if spirits do evil, they are monsters, and if spirits do good, they are gods."

"But if it's a god, why would you stop us from leaving?" Qibao asked in confusion, and Maitreya explained with a sigh:

"The land god will obey the wishes of those who believe in him. If most people who believe in him are 'unwilling to leave', then everyone will be unable to leave."

"How come... Didn't they say that they couldn't leave because of the raw swallow ghost? Could it be that the raw swallow ghost is also a god, or the messenger of the god?" Kagome suddenly covered her mouth when she said this, because she suddenly remembered that she The power of destroying demons can't work on raw swallowing ghosts. Could it be that these raw swallowing ghosts are really gods?

"I have a logical conjecture here, do you want to listen to it?" Feng Xue found a fairly clean place to sit down, and everyone immediately put on an expression of all ears.

Seeing that Er Gouzi didn't even speak, Feng Xue was a little bored for a while, but she still expressed her guess:

"According to the village chief, the initial establishment of this village was to avoid the chaos of war. If we assume that there was already a land god here at that time, then what do you think is the most common wish of the people in the village during this period?"

"Don't be discovered?" Qibao showed a naive expression, but Gouzi curled his lips and said:

"It must drive away everyone who gets close!"

"So that's it. Is this the reason why raw swallowing ghosts appear? They are to expel approaching outsiders?" Maitreya nodded, and then seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly said:

"It turns out that after a period of stability, some people in the village began to go out to buy goods. They noticed the existence of raw swallow ghosts. They thought it was because of a monster that they would invite someone to exorcise the demon. As a result, the demon remover was killed by raw swallow ghosts, or no matter how to eliminate raw swallow ghosts, new ones would appear. This made the villagers fear.

"However, this land god not only needs to ensure a good harvest in the village, but also maintains the number of raw ghosts. Does it really have so much power? After all, it is just a small god worshiped by hundreds of people." Shan Shan seemed to think of something wrong. It's not just her, even Maitreya also showed a serious expression.

"What are you two talking about?!" Inuyasha was very dissatisfied with the situation where the two suddenly turned into riddlers. Mitreya took a deep breath before sighing:

"The land god is not a real great god. His strength is affected by the number of worshipers. This village is full of people, counting only a few hundred people. This kind of worship strength, even if festivals such as the Harvest Festival are held every year, it is impossible to make it so strong. Mana, at most, is just slightly stronger monsters, it is impossible to summon so many Raw Swallowing Ghosts."

"So?" Inuyasha crossed his arms, as if he didn't understand the potential meaning of Maitreya at all, and Qibao and Kagome also had no relevant associations.But Gouzi was too lazy to think about it, while Qibao and Kagome couldn't think of it.

Feng Xue realized something, and asked:

"The divine power of the land god sounds a bit like the [Awe] of monsters, and the generation of [Awe] mainly depends on legends, beliefs and fears. In other words, if you can make the villagers fear enough, even if there are only a few hundred people, you can also produce them. There is a lot of [fear], and the best way to generate fear is the threat of death."

"But the raw swallow ghosts won't attack the village! Maybe the villagers are too afraid of the raw swallow ghosts in the forest..." Kagome immediately objected, but Gouzi said disdainfully:

"Are you afraid of something that won't hurt you?"

"Why not, I'd be scared to cry when I watch horror movies!" Kagome retorted confidently. Feng Xue was a little funny when she heard this, seeing other people unable to explain because they didn't understand what a "horror movie" was, he could only accept it. After talking:

"There is a temporary fear, but as time goes by, after you find that this kind of thing will not hurt yourself, the fear will dissipate. If you use the horror movie distance, then if you watch a horror movie Your whole life? Been watching this horror movie since your grandpa?"

Chapter 151 I am the Riddler!

Hearing Feng Xue's words, Kagome fell silent for a moment. She is a kind child, so she usually doesn't think in those dark directions, but...

"Oh, what you mean is that this village is engaging in human sacrifices!" Inuyasha finally understood, and said with an expression of "I'm so smart":

"So the idiot locked in the warehouse is the sacrificial offering? Then why didn't her mother say it?"

"Because we're here!" Maitreya sighed, "Since a new sacrifice has arrived, her son naturally doesn't need to be a sacrifice. If we say it, we may run away, and her son will still be a sacrifice. If we don't say anything, we will become sacrifices without knowing anything."

"These bastards!" Gou Zidang even jumped up, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Kagome.

Of course, it was impossible for Kagome to grab Gouzi, but in order not to hurt Kagome, Gouzi slowed down on his own, but he still pretended to be caught, and said loudly:

"You let me go!"

"That's not right!" Just when the two of them were about to stage a couple's cross talk, Qibao suddenly said:

"If your guess is true, why would anyone want to drive us away?"

"..."

Everyone in the room was stunned for a while, and after a short silence, Mitreya suddenly nodded and said:

"It seems that this bad-mannered villager is the real good guy. We need to talk to him."

"It's true to say so, but it's best to keep your actions small." Feng Xue yawned slightly, "Assuming that what we guessed is the truth, then the villagers in this village are divided into at least three types, one group is old women In that way, those who feel that it is better to sacrifice us than to sacrifice their own people, a group of ordinary villagers think that it is good to sacrifice anyone as long as it is not themselves, and in the end they still have a conscience, and feel that we should not be dragged into it."

Having said that, Feng Xue paused for a moment, took out a box of pocky from her shadow, took one out and put it in her mouth, and then continued:

"Although it is said that there are three factions, but careful observation of their behavior can also reveal some problems. For example, those neutral villagers, logically speaking, they should not care about anything, but why did they run away when they saw us? There is that villager who seems to be a good-hearted person, why did he choose a wicked face instead of directly explaining the situation? Is it possible to think that if they say something they shouldn't say, they will be punished?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, just drag out that harvest god and kill it! Then the big guy in the bamboo forest will disappear, right?" Inuyasha said with his eyes wide open, and Feng Xue clapped his hands to show encouragement.

Inuyasha seemed to take Feng Xue's action as a provocation, and immediately glared over: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you are right. It would be the best if you can drag out the God of Harvest." Feng Xue said solemnly. In fact, after he solved a few raw ghosts, He has been thinking about a question, that is, what exactly is he going to face this time.

According to the previous two experiences, the target this time should also be a monster made of some kind of obsession or desire, but when he killed Raw Swallowing Ghost before, he didn't feel the mental "relaxation" of killing the monster before. In other words, Raw Swallowing Ghost was not the goal this time.

So, what's the goal?

Could it be the so-called Harvest God?

If yes, how to fight it?

Or rather, how to see it?

only……
