Chapter 197: Sly Ghost



"It should be around here."

Su Ziyu walked along the rugged road. The place where the mountain children were lurking was called Shijuan Mountain. He had never heard of it before. It should be just an unknown small hill.

We didn’t encounter any monsters along the way, probably because it was not dark yet.

Su Ziyu was not in a hurry, he just found a hillside to sit and drink some wine, and when it got dark, he walked towards Ishimaki Mountain. This mountain boy has been quite arrogant recently, at least a dozen merchants have been killed, and the merchants' goods are missing. The wealthy families of Mikawa State invited some Yin Yang Masters to deal with it, but unfortunately, the Yin Yang Masters in the folks are too weak, and all the invited people never come back.

During the Nara period, Fuso nationalized Onmyoji, and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from owning Onmyoji books such as the River Map, Luoshu, and Taiyi. Even in the Heian period, the truly powerful Onmyojis all came from the government.

As Su Ziyu was walking, he smelled the scent of alcohol coming in the wind.

"This mountain boy has imitated Shuten-doji quite well." Su Ziyu smiled and flew up. A house built on the hillside appeared in his sight.

It is said that Shuten-doji of Mt. Tamba is very fond of wine, and you can smell a faint scent of wine wafting over at night.

I didn't expect it to be the same here.

Su Ziyu casually put on an invisibility cloak, then used the power of psychic flight to gradually approach the house.

The house looked like it was recently built, a little shabby, with some ghost lights floating outside. Before I got close, I could hear a commotion. There was a bonfire burning inside the house, and the smell of barbecue could be smelled from afar. The firelight was full of shadows, all I could see were some mountain spirits and ghosts. At the head of the group sat a huge man, estimated to be more than three meters tall, with a green face and fangs, thick body hair, and an ape-like appearance. He had a single horn on his head and only one eye on his forehead. Next to him was a huge stone hammer, which must have weighed several hundred kilograms.

"Contamination found!"

As soon as we approached here, the space-time monitor system responded.

Su Ziyu frowned as he stared at the things roasting on the fire, his expression showing a slight discomfort. Then he pulled out the meteorite from his waist with a clang, and descended from the sky under the cover of night. His figure did not even touch the ground, and he glided quickly relying on the power of psychic flight. Then the meteorite in his hand turned into a stream of light and flashed past the fire.

These monsters all have some special methods, so Su Ziyu doesn't dare to be too arrogant. He has to attack with fatal force and kill the nearby minions first.

"Gain 1 source of power!"

"Gain 1 source of power!"

As streaks of blood appeared, the iron rat beside the campfire was stabbed to death by Su Ziyu's sword. Next to it was a fat human-shaped toad, whose head was also split open by his sword.

boom!

The mountain boy who seemed a little drunk reacted very quickly. Almost at the moment when Su Ziyu made his move, he seemed to have noticed something and quickly picked up the stone hammer next to him. Then his skin turned into the color of rock, and a stone wall suddenly rose up on the ground, protecting him behind him.

This is not an ordinary mountain boy. Ordinary mountain boys are not as tall and strong as it. Its red pupils make it look like a monster. It was holding a human leg in its hand and eating it with relish.

boom!

The huge stone hammer created a gust of wind and smashed down. A pit with a diameter of more than three meters and a depth instantly appeared on the ground. If Su Ziyu had not reacted extremely quickly, he would have been smashed into a pulp.

"This monster is so strong!" Su Ziyu was shocked and retreated after appearing.

The mountain boy in front of him had strange strength and seemed to be able to control rocks. After discovering the figure of Su Ziyu, he immediately chased after him with a stone hammer, shouting, "Don't let him get away! Another person is coming to die!"

Seven or eight mountain spirits and ghosts followed and ran out.

However, what surprised them a little was that the fish did not run away, but instead stood outside the door waiting for them to come out.

——"Lightning strike!"

Boom!

Amid the crackling lightning, a startling flash of lightning fell from the sky.

The mountain boy reacted very quickly, as if he wanted to dodge, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be as fast as lightning. He was struck by lightning in an instant, and his entire body looked charred.

"Thunder magic?!" the mountain boy said in surprise.

The ability of psychic lightning also has some inconveniences. For example, it is not easy to use it in a house. Lightning strikes and lightning storms must be in an open area because they rely on the energy of nature. If lightning strikes are used in a house, the effect will probably be very poor.

——"Time speeds up!"

After enduring a lightning strike from the Su Zi fish head-on, the mountain boy in front of him seemed to be seriously injured. It seemed to have become a lot shorter, and its feet had already sunk into the mud, as if it wanted to use a similar earth escape ability to escape.

How could Su Ziyu let him do as he wished? As everything around him gradually stopped, his figure flashed by, and with a sharp sword light, he directly chopped off Shan Tong's head.

Not sure if it was his illusion, but after Su Ziyu discovered that the time acceleration had been raised to Level 6, he really had the illusion that the world had stopped at that moment. The original frames of the picture moved even slower, and the whole person seemed to be in a nearly still world.

"Gain 5 points of source power!"

"Gain 1 source of power!"

"Gain 1 source of power!"

When Su Ziyu reappeared, he was already behind the mountain boy. He slowly put away the meteorite, and behind him, the headless body of the mountain boy collapsed with a loud bang.

I have really become a lot stronger!

Also, the harvest from monsters in this world is quite great. A mountain boy can actually provide source power comparable to that of a super deformer. Is it because monsters themselves are supernatural beings?

One small BOSS and four elite monsters.

Su Ziyu easily gained 9 points of source power, but the battle difficulty felt much lower than in other worlds. Monsters that could provide so much source power were difficult to kill, whether in the wasteland world or the demon hunter world. Whether it was a super aberration or a high-level vampire, none of them could be killed with one sword like the mountain boy in front of him.

This mountain boy has an amazing and special strength, but no matter how strong he is, it will be useless if he can't hit the Su Ziyu.

On the one hand, Su Ziyu's strength has improved, and on the other hand, the monsters in this world don't seem to have the tenacious vitality of super deformed monsters or high-level vampires. These mountain spirits and ghosts can be killed by chopping off their heads and stabbing their hearts. Maybe they have some special abilities, but ordinary warriors also have the opportunity to kill them.

"Looks like I have to take a walk around Fuso." Su Ziyu shook his head and walked into the house in front of him.

It's dirty, smelly and disgusting inside.

There was a large amount of goods piled up in the corner, as well as some gold, silver and jewelry. There were human remains on the ground. It looked a bit horrible. Su Ziyu just took a look and walked out.

He used his telekinesis to ignite a huge fire, which soon engulfed everything in sight.

He had no shortage of gold, silver, and jewelry, but ordinary goods were of no use to him. These monsters seemed to be very poor as well, without even a single decent item on them. It was true that the monsters in the countryside could not compare to the wealthier monsters in Kyoto.

Tonight's harvest was OK.

It has been a long time since Su Ziyu has gained so much source power so easily.

To be honest, although this mountain boy is at the BOSS level, his level of danger is about the same as the demon girl in the Witcher world. It's a pity that there are a little fewer of them. It would be great if there were a few more of them.

After burning down the mountain boy's lair, Su Ziyu prepared to set off for Edo.

He was not planning to go to Sanhe Kingdom to claim his reward, and he was not interested in the rewards offered by ordinary people. He would just consider it as doing good deeds without leaving a name.

A light breeze blew by.

Shortly after Su Ziyu left, a bald old man in gorgeous clothes appeared on Ishijuan Mountain. He strolled along the way and soon came to the collapsed house.

“Squeak!”

After taking a look at the monster corpses around him, the bald old man's expression suddenly became serious, and he murmured, "Is it so powerful?"

All the monsters were killed in one blow!

Even the mountain boy did not let Su Ziyu use the second sword. The bald old man took a look at the extremely smooth broken neck and said in a deep voice: "Even if Ampere Qingming came here, I'm afraid he couldn't do it so easily, right?"

At this point, the bald old man couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something. "Alas." After a while, he sighed softly, walked over and took the mountain boy's head, put it aside with the body, and then flicked out a wisp of faint blue flame, which quickly devoured the bodies of the monsters, and burned them into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.

Monsters harm people, and people kill monsters.

Although Nura was once the leader of monsters, he only protected weak monsters that did not harm people. If a monster that broke this rule was killed, the most he could do was help collect the bodies when he passed by.

"Tapir! Are you there?" The sly ghost took two steps and said in a low voice.

There was no response from anywhere.

But after a while, a lazy voice sounded in Naughty Ghost's mind: "Why are you calling me? Do you have any interesting nightmares?"

There was still nothing around, but it seemed like there was something more.

"Do you know where this person came from?" the sly ghost asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." The lazy voice sounded in his mind again, and it seemed a little impatient: "Although I came from the Middle Earth, I don't know much about the monks over there."

"Such great swordplay!"

"Maybe he is a disciple of Lu Chunyang."

Lu Chunyang?

Hearing what Tapir said, Naughty Ghost was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Really?"

If he is really that person's disciple, then maybe there is hope.

"How would I know? I'm just guessing!" Tapir said nonchalantly, "If you want to know, go ask the Guhuo bird in the maple forest. She sneaked back during the Tang Dynasty, but was beaten back later."

Hearing the other party's words, the sly ghost couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Although he was once the leader of monsters, that was only limited to monsters native to Fuso. He usually would not provoke those monsters that came from the Middle-earth.

The maple forest's guhuo bird is notoriously bad-tempered.

Unfortunately, not many people can defeat her, and Nura is not very willing to meet this big monster.

"I'll go eat if I have nothing to do." Tapir's voice came, muttering, "There's nothing good to eat recently, and the nightmares those people had were too boring."

Upon hearing this, the sly ghost quickly said, "Wait a minute!"

"What?" Tapir asked impatiently.

Nura paced in place for a while, then said in a deep voice: "That man tried his best to release Qingji. Can we use him to eliminate this hidden danger?"

Kiyohime?

Hearing what the Sly Ghost said, Tapir's voice actually had a hint of fear, and he whispered, "You're crazy! Isn't that crazy woman still here?"

"Why would we bother her for no reason?"

“Even if Qingji is released, they will be the first to suffer.”

"When she gets mad, she won't recognize anyone!"

Nura's expression was quite solemn, and he said slowly: "I am not worried about Kiyohime, but the monster sealed in Mount Fuji."

"Don't you know how Qingji became a monster?"

"Do you think I don't know that you once tried to eat Qingji's nightmare, and ended up being seriously injured and almost burned to charcoal?"

After hearing this, the tapir remained silent for a while.

Then, it seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I just sympathized with her at the beginning. The monsters in our Middle-earth are different from you. They are also humane."

"Bah! Is that sympathy? You're just greedy!" The sly ghost snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget who saved you and helped you clean up the mess."

Tapir hesitated for a moment and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll tell you!"

"That woman is really a lunatic! I will never go into her dreams again!"

After thinking for a moment, the Naughty Ghost said, "Let's wait and see."

"If he plans to go to Mount Fuji, there's a good chance he'll run into Kiyohime. If there's a chance, let's give it a try."

The tapir's voice sounded, "Okay."

"But Qingji's Seven Emotions Fire is really powerful!"

"Extreme love breeds hatred."

"Infatuation leads to demons."

"If she goes crazy, we two may not be able to stop her!"

Nura remained silent after hearing this, and after a moment he said, "We still have to give it a try. While the nine-tailed fox is still in Kyoto, let's solve the trouble with Kiyohime first."

"Did Qingji really become a monster because of it?" Tapir asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the Naughty Ghost asked back, "Do you think a mortal woman can really turn from love to hate, and from obsession to a demon, and turn into a big monster in an instant?"

"And it's a giant monster with a human head and a snake body!"

"If it gets out, no one will have a good life."

Tapir probably believed it a little, but he still said stubbornly, "Who said there is no such thing? Isn't it the Qingxuande in Kyoto?"

"She loves ghost stories so much."

"Finally, the Hundred Monogatari was completed, and I became a great monster."

The Naughty Ghost snorted and said, "Qingxuande is different. She is..."

"never mind."

"I won't tell you that much. Aoandon is also secretly watching this person. She gave him all the Hundred Tales."

Tapir also snorted and said, "Forget it."

"I'm going to eat!"
