Chapter 199 Wood Charm



The night passed quickly.

Su Ziyu got up very early the next day, ate a little and prepared to go to Yuanjiang Province, which was actually the distance to the next county town, but the Netshin Bride was active in the place near Shinano Province.

The monster called Netshinfu is a relatively common one in Fuso.

It is said that one appears every few decades. Folk rumors say that it is a monster transformed from a spider, but the record in Hyakumonogatari is that the Netsuru is a monster transformed from a human.

"Legend has it that the earliest spider woman was a beautiful woman who married a lord. She was executed by the angry lord for having sex with other people. The lord threw her into a box full of poisonous spiders and let the spiders suck her body. After her death, her ghost merged with the spiders and turned into the ruthless spider lady. She often appeared near the forest to seduce young men and then took their heads for food."

The Neti Bride is a monster transformed from a vengeful spirit.

In fact, whether in China or the West, there are rumors that people who died from such extreme punishments turned into ghosts. There are similar legends in ancient Egypt. During the Pharaoh period, some cruel punishments believed that people who were executed would turn into terrible demons and must be sealed to avoid disaster.

The second target of the perilla fish is the nettle.

It is said that this kind of monster is afraid of fire. Fortunately, he has alchemical kerosene brought from the demon hunter world, so it should be relatively easy to deal with it.

However, unlike the mountain boy we dealt with before, the Nettle Bride has no specific activity area. It often appears and disappears mysteriously, and there are only occasional rumors of it harming people. People will find its gnawed headless corpses near the forest.

There is no clear destination for the perilla fish, so you can only wander around and try your luck.

"Will Hyakumonogatari absorb the souls of ghosts?"

After killing the mountain boy yesterday, Su Ziyu discovered that the record about the mountain boy in Hyaku Monogatari had also changed. The original portrait of the child-like mountain boy had turned into the one he killed yesterday, an extremely tall and burly mountain boy.

"How do you use this thing?"

"Why did Aoandon give it to me?" Su Ziyu flipped through the Hyaku Monogatari in his hand boredly.

Although it is a legendary item, Su Ziyu doesn't know how to use it. Sometimes it will automatically absorb the souls of ghosts, but Su Ziyu cannot use it no matter how to inject psychic energy or other methods.

In other words, this thing is just like a book in his hand.

If the Space-Time Monitor System had not scanned it as a powerful and rare object, Su Ziyu would probably have thought it was just an ordinary book.

Originally he was planning to return it to Qing Xingdeng.

But now Ghost Kyoto can't go back, and the underworld is probably still looking for him. Su Ziyu can only carry it with him temporarily. It just so happens that the monster information recorded on it is very useful.

It only took half a day to reach Yuanjiang Kingdom.

This place is a little more desolate than other places, with mountains everywhere and no decent town nearby. If Su Ziyu continues to move forward, he will reach the territory of Takeda Shingen in the later Warring States Period. Echizen is the hometown of Uesugi Kenshin. If he goes all out, he can get there in half a day. You can imagine how small the territory of Fuso is. However, such a small place actually has so many monsters and demons, which shows that the endurance of Fuso people is still very strong.

Outside a lush forest.

Su Ziyu straightened his clothes a little and then started strolling around casually.

It is said that the nettle will transform into a beautiful woman during the day and likes to hook up with young and handsome men. The perilla fish is still young and handsome enough. If you tidy it up and dress it up a little, what if it takes the bait?

Time passes by little by little.

Su Ziyu wandered around here for a long time but didn't see even the shadow of a monster.

He just heard from other people that the Nettle Broom had harmed people nearby, but no one knew where the Nettle Broom's nest was. Su Ziyu could only try his luck.

It soon became dark.

Su Ziyu finally got too lazy to walk, so he just found a place to sit. If he didn't run into him today, he would continue to go to Edo. After staying in Fuso for such a long time, Su Ziyu found that Kyoto still had the most monsters, which was completely different from the Middle-earth. In the Middle-earth rumors, monsters avoided people and hid in the wilderness, but in Fuso, monsters seemed to like to live among people.

There are more monsters in places with more people. What a strange phenomenon!

"Looks like I won't be able to meet him today." Su Ziyu said to himself.

It’s getting late.

Su Ziyu stood up and prepared to return along the same route. He would first find a place to stay nearby for the night and then go directly to see Mount Fuji tomorrow. He had never traveled to Japan before and always traveled around Europe when he went out to play.

"Are you lost?"

"Do you want me to take you out?" Just as Su Ziyu stood up, a timid female voice suddenly came.

Taken the bait?

Su Ziyu's expression was stunned, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He turned around and looked behind him.

Soon he felt a little disappointed.

Because the person who appeared behind him was not the new woman, but a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. There was no demonic aura about her, on the contrary, there was a smell that he felt was very familiar.

This is a beautiful girl who looks a little scared and shy.

She was wearing a dark green dress and her hair was light green. She looked at Su Ziyu with a curious and friendly look, as if she wanted to get closer to her but was a little afraid. Seeing that he didn't reply, she asked in a low voice, "Are you lost? I can take you out!"

"do not be afraid."

"I am the mountain spirit here. I won't hurt you."

He wandered around for a long time but didn't meet any new wives, but he did attract the mountain spirits here.

But it's okay as long as there is someone.

"What kind of monster are you?" Su Ziyu looked at the other party curiously and asked.

The aura of this monster made him feel familiar and friendly, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was. However, it seemed that she was not a dangerous monster.

"Me? Me?"

The girl in front of him was a little flustered, then lowered her head and said timidly: "I am the wood spirit here."

Wood ghost?

It turns out she is a wood spirit!

No wonder she showed up and asked Su Ziyu if she was lost. In Fusang, wood spirits are spirits that live in trees. As long as you don't cut down the trees they live in, they are completely harmless. She is roughly equivalent to the tree spirit in European legends, which means she is a kind of oriental fairy.

The blessing of the guardian witch is still effective here.

Maybe other monsters didn't feel it, but the wood spirit in front of him noticed the familiar scent on Su Ziyu. After seeing him wandering in the woods alone for a long time, he thought he was lost here, so he appeared and asked him if he wanted to take him out.

all of a sudden.

Su Ziyu then thought about how he should find that new woman.
