Eighty-Nine <Smoke and Smoke>
In the dark mountain forest, the dense miasma is still there, making the night even deeper and the air even heavier.
Luo Zhen and his party shuttled among them, heading towards the shrine in the center of the forbidden area.
However, along the way, the behavior of the group was different.
for example…
"Why are you following us?"
"Are we following you?"
"Then go the other way!"
"But this road leads to the shrine, so we don't need to take a long detour, right?"
"I don't care! Anyway, you are not allowed to follow us!"
"Well, don't say that."
Akabane Raishin and Kamo Subaru walked at the forefront of the team, and they were arguing fiercely while walking forward, but one looked indifferent, and the other blushed with anger.
Another example…
"Miss, don't go in with us, let me take you out first?"
"No, if Subaru and Liulian are not going to go out, then I won't go out."
"Miss..."
"How about you go out with me?"
"But…"
"Anyway, as long as Subaru and Liulian don't go out, I won't go out."
Domen Rilun and Gongsha Liulian walked behind and had such a conversation. Even though they were so scared before, Tumen Rilun still didn't plan to go out alone. Persuading him to go out showed a stubborn side that he had never shown before, which made Gongsha Liulian look distressed.
In such a mighty situation, the group headed towards the shrine in the center of the forbidden area.
As for Rozen...
"You...can't you walk slower?"
Luo Zhen, who was panting like something, fell to the rear, and could only whine like this.
This made Kamo Subaru and Yukari Liulian look contemptuous.
"I didn't expect that your magic looks so powerful, but your physical strength is so weak."
"It turns out that the men from the Akabane family are nothing."
He Maosubaru and Gongsha Liulian despised Luo Zhen, making the corners of Luo Zhen's mouth twitch.
Even Akabane Raizhen patted Luo Zhen's shoulder and spoke kindly.
"I used to tell you not to stay at home all the time, and go out for a walk more often. It's really embarrassing to see you now."
Akabane Raishin delivered the final blow.
"Whispering! Don't think of me as a savage like you! We...we live off our brains!"
Luo Zhen lost his temper.
Obviously in this group of people, currently my ability is the highest, but in the end I was despised. Uncle can bear it, even my aunt can't bear it.
Luo Zhen didn't even dare to look at Tumen Rilun's eyes.
Although he knew that he couldn't do such a thing with Tumen Rilun's personality, but if he was despised by other little girls, Luo Zhen really didn't want to live.
At the moment, Luo Zhen is also a bit broken.
"Has the shrine not arrived yet? Is it that far away?"
Luo Zhen spoke as if complaining.
"...It's almost here."
He Maosubaru, who was walking in the front, let out a helpless voice, wondering if he felt that Luo Zhen was a little pitiful, but it was a rare time to be honest and stop finding fault.
In this way, a group of people rushed to the shrine in the center of the forbidden area.
On the way, although Luo Zhen seemed a little exhausted, he did not relax his vigilance, and the magic power representing the
Gradually, Luo Zhen discovered that there are really all kinds of shikigami moving in this forbidden area.
The most numerous are the wild dogs possessed by low-level spirits, and then there are all kinds of small animals entangled in black air, such as monkeys jumping among the trees, rabbits running back and forth between the grass, and running in the forest. Deer wait,
various kinds.
Luo Zhen even encountered a colorful butterfly that was the size of a palm.
"That's the Butterfly of Paradise. Unlike those low-level shikigami, this is a swallowtail that only appears in hell. Its ability is fire. Once it is touched, it will be possessed, and then it will "bang" in one breath? "
The explanation of Gongsha Liulian made Akabane Leizhen, who wanted to touch those beautiful butterflies, turn blue and jumped back like an electric shock.
Luo Zhen also had to be amazed.
"A shikigami with special abilities? That's an intermediate-level familiar, right?"
In addition to the Butterfly of Bliss, Luo Zhen also encountered shikigami with various special abilities, all of which were at the level of intermediate familiars.
If you run into these shikigami, there is no doubt that there will be a tricky melee.
Therefore, Luo Zhen made several reminders to let everyone avoid the area where shikigami were active, and moved forward without any danger along the way.
Fortunately, although I encountered various difficult intermediate shikigami, I did not encounter any higher-level familiars like the previous mountain gods.
Of course, this is also temporary.
In the end, Luo Zhen and his party met a shikigami who was a senior familiar.
And, right in front of the shrine at the destination.
"...Is that a joke?"
Kamo Subaru and Yukari Liulian looked stiff.
"...Do you even have that kind of thing?"
Akabane Leizhen also had cold sweat on his forehead.
A group of people are hiding in a bush.
In front of the grass, there is a dilapidated shrine, telling everyone that their destination has been found.
However, in front of the dilapidated shrine, there is a terrifying existence that no one can ignore.
"call…"
It was the howling wind.
The source of the wind noise was a puff of thick smoke.
I saw that in front of the shrine, there was a strange smoke floating.
And within that smoke, something would appear from time to time.
That is a hideous face.
Seeing the terrifying scene, all the people present froze in place, not daring to make a sound.
Tumen Rilun held his sleeve tightly and murmured.
"Smoke..."
smoke and smoke.
It is a kind of monster residing in the smoke, which originated from human beings' fear of fireworks.
It can transform into various postures, and it can also emerge from the smoke to look like a human face. In Japanese legends, it is a monster that often appears in places such as stoves, stoves, and bonfires in farmhouses. Depicted as the image of hell karma, it is very scary.
To put it bluntly, the level of this shikigami is by no means lower than the mountain gods I have seen before.
This level of shikigami is now floating in front of the shrine, twisting wantonly as if guarding the shrine.
It was only natural that Kamo Subaru and Yukirikuren would overreact in this way.
after all…
"Yanyanluo is a Shikigami without a body!"
"It won't depend on living things at all!"
The two yelled in a low voice.
That's right.
Yanyanluo is a kind of shikigami without substance, and it will never become a physical existence by relying on living beings.
That is to say...
"That's not a shikigami born naturally in this forbidden area."
Tumen Rilun also made this conclusion in a low voice.
Combined with the fact that Yanyan Luo guards in front of the shrine where the tokens are likely to be placed, how could Luo Zhen not think of it?
"That's probably a shikigami deliberately summoned by the people of the Izanagi style."
The reason is also very simple to think of.
The reason on the surface is probably as the last part of the trial. I want to see if the tester can overcome this difficulty, right?
As for whether there is a reason behind the scenes, the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.
"Won't it go too far? Bastard!"
Akabane Lei really cursed secretly.
Want to break through that monster to get the token?
In a word.
delusion.
