black!
All that could be seen was pitch black.
It wasn't because the sky was covered by thick black clouds that it appeared dark.
Rather, it's the surrounding objects.
Everything—the trees, the weeds, even the water flowing in the nearby creek—was black.
It's far inferior to the dazzling atmosphere of Black Cat Paradise, which was transformed by Ouyang Qianjin.
"Hey! Even if it's black, at least make it a colorful black! What kind of stuff is this! Even I, a necromancer, can't see it clearly!"
Sitting in the pumpkin carriage, Ouyang Qianjin began to complain.
It has been half a month since we first set off from Black Cat Paradise.
A journey of over 800 kilometers in half a month.
Walking only fifty or sixty kilometers a day is incredibly slow.
But this cannot be blamed on Miss Ouyang.
If anyone is to blame, it's the warriors who keep popping up to bother Ouyang Qianjin and the monsters and demi-human races along the way.
Although killing and killing monsters while traveling is not impossible.
However, as the 'owner of the territory,' Ouyang Qianjin felt it necessary to thoroughly 'inspect' her territory along the way.
You know what?
The investigation along the route over the past two weeks.
Canon has discovered mineral veins in several places.
Moreover, along the way, Ouyang Qianjin also discovered many medicinal herbs in this new land.
It can be said that all the expected 'rewards' have been raised!
But thinking about it, while the land may not necessarily have mineral veins or rare animals, it certainly has medicinal herbs.
After all, let's not talk about other worlds.
Even in my own world, herbs can grow in deserts, swamps, and even caves beneath glaciers.
It's just that it doesn't have the magical power of herbs from another world.
magic?
Um?
Is there some inspiration?
Ouyang Qianjin suddenly realized something, but after tilting her head and thinking for a long time, she still couldn't grasp the key point, so she gave up.
"Young lady, a new wave of samurai is charging up."
Just as Ouyang Qianjin 'gave up thinking,' Sebastian reported from the side.
"Seriously? Will these guys ever stop...?"
Ouyang Qianjin is now somewhat annoyed with these warriors.
It started about ten days ago.
These warriors kept 'raising the stakes'.
Initially, the samurai armor or banners that Ouyang Qianjin saw were embroidered with 'eight-headed serpents', which should represent the Eight-Headed Shrine.
But things changed later.
Round, square, animal-shaped, and there are even guys who use basketballs as their home tattoos.
However, the constant emergence of these family crests also made Ouyang Qianjin realize a problem.
That means these guys along the northern coast of Japan have probably formed an alliance to resist this guy who looks like the 'big boss'.
But this is for the best.
High-level players gather together so they can level up more easily, right?
Moreover, judging from the frequency of these samurai's appearances and the sudden changes in the surrounding environment, I should not be far from the Eight-Headed Shrine.
However, the fact that they still haven't found any trace of that good-for-nothing Quan Chengyu is puzzling to Ouyang Qianjin.
Logically speaking, someone who can consistently rank second on the leaderboard shouldn't be considered a fool.
Can think of first
Is someone planning to 'stalk the cicada from behind'?
Thinking of this, even the young lady of the Ouyang family couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This kid's got some interesting skills!
If it's really as I think, then the other party must be planning to appear only after I've dealt with Kobayakawa Tomoyo and Kobayakawa Daisuke.
Yeah, you need to be careful about the front view.
After all, everyone has some cards up their sleeve.
Although Miss Ouyang was confident that she wouldn't mess things up, being splattered with blood in her face was something she couldn't accept.
"It's strange, Miss. We clearly decided to take a detour at the last minute, so how come we keep running into each other no matter where we go?"
Sebastian was speechless.
This was the fifth time they had changed course along the way because of the need to 'patrol,' but they were still found.
Although Sebastian was well aware that reconnaissance skills were plentiful in their world.
But under the influence of their young mistress's skills, do the other skills really come into play?
This was something he couldn't figure out.
"well……"
Ouyang Qianjin sighed.
“Sebastian, since I have a reconnaissance method called [Dark Eye], isn’t it normal for others to have the same reconnaissance methods as well?”
"Moreover, he is a lord like me."
As she spoke, Ouyang Qianjin pouted at a black tree outside the window.
Sebastian tilted his body slightly as he looked out the window.
That's when I noticed that there were several birds perched on the trees outside the window!
With its black eyes and black feathers, this must be a bird in the world called a 'crow'.
Judging from the people the young lady is going to deal with this time.
—It should be a raven.
So, starting three days ago, we've been seeing these birds every now and then along the way.
I didn't take it seriously at the time.
It now seems that we have been under someone else's surveillance for the past three days.
No wonder they always arrive so precisely.
"I apologize, young lady. It was my carelessness."
After thinking it through, Sebastian realized that he had made such a huge oversight.
So he immediately apologized to Ouyang Qianjin.
"Oh, it's nothing. I found out a few days ago anyway, but I just didn't say anything."
Miss Ouyang didn't seem to care.
Rather, it was something they were doing all along to show them.
I imagine the Eight Heads Shrine must be in complete chaos right now.
After all, all the people sent before and after were wiped out and turned into their own fighting force.
This is something that is absolutely terrifying.
Morale.
Before even engaging in battle, it's a very worthwhile strategy to demoralize the enemy.
It would be even better if the other party was watching the 'live broadcast'.
Moreover, upon discovering that someone was watching her, Ouyang Qianjin immediately ordered the gargoyles to remain hidden in the clouds as a trump card.
Taking down Daisuke Kobayakawa and the Raven Priestess shouldn't be a problem.
The problem still lies with Quan Chengyu.
When and where this guy will make his move is what Ouyang Qianjin is currently thinking about.
After all, he didn't take the Eight-Headed Shrine seriously.
But Quan Chengyu would not do that, or rather, he wouldn't dare to do it.
Otherwise, Quan Chengyu wouldn't have wanted to 'stalk the cicada from behind'.
Think about it.
Given Quan Chengyu's competitive nature, if he were confident, he would have already ranked A and earned some "revenue" for himself.
How could it be my turn to walk so slowly?
"Hmm...it seems I'll need to pull out some trump cards to deal with Quan Chengyu, this Void Raider..."
