Chapter 571 Train? Cat Train!

As Shikanoya said, her team is pretty good.

These rotten big cats are a group of ghost stories, but if we evaluate their individual strength, are they about F-level?

Anyway, Shikanoya has the Imperial Incense Burner in one hand and Glock in the other, and he seems to be able to deal with these enemies with ease.

And Baka, the battle tonight has given this little ghost a lot of confidence and high morale.

It used to follow Kamiya Kawa, and at that time it was only E-level but was given a very high intensity. After experiencing past battles, it was almost like this-

"Although you are only E-level now, I order you to kill the wild god."

Okay, it may be a bit exaggerated to say this.

But for Baka, it is not much different.

After all, because of its special ability, it really followed Master Kamiya to participate in the battle against the wild god, and even more than one battle.

After several tough battles, although the results were all victorious, Baka was really about to become autistic because of the terrifying battlefield atmosphere.

Now that it has switched to Miss Shikanoya, this little ghost has finally come back to its senses.

Sure enough, there is a reasonable "opponent matching mechanism" on the young lady's side.

These cat demons are the opponents it should face at this level!

But then again, before following Master Shen Gu, although he was "dragged to play in the professional league as a silver player", the red deer also played a role in that kind of intense battle. Although in the end, it only exerted a fleeting, zero-tenths-second control on the wild god.

But you say that the control was not controlled!

Moreover, directly controlling enemies above the wild god with low-rated strength is a completely gorgeous "battle resume".

Even if you become stronger in the future, you can still brag about it for the rest of your life!

The red deer who had directly faced the wild god, now facing this group of rotten big cats, is simply too easy, and it is also easy to turn all these enemies into "red deer" with slow thinking ability.

Although the fish bombing game is not challenging, it is really cool.

As for sending wolves, there is no need to say more. Rushing into the cat group, relying on absolute hard power to crush, like an extremely sophisticated killing machine.

It nimbly turns and changes its position from time to time. The golden dagger is full of murderous intent. Every time it slashes and swings, an enemy will be killed by it elegantly and accurately, and the body will be lying in the mountains and forests.

And to talk about Songlang's excellent combat performance in detail, we have to mention Inugami.

Half a year ago, when Shikanoya came back from Matsuzawa, he promised the little female wolf that "I will definitely let you know my mighty big dog."

Xiaolu is a girl who keeps her word.

Moreover, after getting along with Songlang day and night, the relationship between them is more like a pair of "good sisters across races" than master and servant.

Songlang has a special affection for Inugami, and Xiaolu will of course help the good sister's emotional problems.

About two months ago, Xiaolu found an opportunity to lock Songlang and Inugami in the basement together.

Unfortunately, the little female wolf is still not very competitive.

In front of the object of her admiration, in addition to shaking her tail like a wolf, she was timid and did not dare to make any movements.

Inugami was confused again when facing Songlang, and he didn't know why.

But after a period of awkward solitude in the basement, the wolf and the dog finally broke the ice.

The subsequent development did not go in the direction that Shikanoya hoped.

Anyway, Inugami seemed to have taken the initiative to teach Songlang some combat skills...

The fighting styles of the two are actually very different. Inugami is a bloodthirsty warrior who is used to crushing the enemy with his own strong physique, as well as the combination of hellfire and corruption, while Songlang is an assassin who pays attention to dexterity and pursues elegance and precision.

But after all, they are all canines, and Gouzi is a serious wild god. Some combat skills related to body control can still be taught to Songlang.

In short, after several special training sessions in the basement, whether the emotional relationship between the big dog and the little female wolf has improved, Xiaolu can't say.

But... Songlang's combat level has indeed improved significantly.

This improvement in strength can also be reflected in tonight's battle.

...

Bang!

The Imperial Incense Burner knocked down the last rotten cat, and the delicate and heavy copper burner dragged a bloody trail in the snow.

Shikanoya scanned the battlefield and confirmed that all the enemies began to turn into ashes and dissipate.

The battle tonight was relatively smooth-

Nai Xun has been rescued intact.

And the resentful soul that was besieged by a group of cats just now was also rescued by Xiaolu and Songlang.

Shikanoya looked up and down at the uniformed female high school student.

This is the wandering ghost who feasted on the attendant incense tonight, which is equivalent to signing a temporary contract with him to "rescue Akimichi Nai Xun".

"Since the matter here is resolved, let's take them all out first." Xiaolu thought so.

But before she could say anything, the little old man's clone standing on her shoulder began to point to the woods ahead to warn.

Something is coming!

"Songlang!" "Baka!"

Shikanoya called the two shikigami back to his side, holding his breath and concentrating, mobilizing his sense of inspiration.

She smelled a restless and hot smell in the air that had not been there before, like the smell of fire.

At the same time, it was still accompanied by a gloomy ghostly aura and the stench of wild beasts, similar to the cat group that had just been killed, but even stronger.

"Is that main ghost coming over?"

Xiaolu immediately understood the current situation.

Although the small monsters were eliminated, the big monster tonight never showed up.

Considering the situation of Akimichi just now——

Akimichi seemed to be pushed on the wooden cart by those big rotten cats, and he was running purposefully towards a certain place in the mountain forest.

Perhaps the destination of this trip is where the big monster is.

The battle that just broke out may have attracted the big monster lurking somewhere.

"Retreat! This time we have a strong enemy!"

As soon as Lu Yewu finished speaking, a bright color appeared in the mountain forest in the distance, dancing fiercely in the night.

Now you can not only smell it, but you can see it directly.

That's fire!

A huge fireball was rolling in the darkness in the distance, lighting up most of the mountain forest in an instant.

The heat wave is rolling, melting the snow and evaporating the snow water into hot water vapor. The fireball spit out tongues of flame, igniting the pine trees wherever it passed, making a peeling and popping sound, and the air was filled with smoke and a burning smell.

The fireballs were coming fiercely.

Because Qiudao, who was unable to resist, was still present, Xiaolu was unwilling to pester him any more.

The innocent girl in uniform who was injured by the group of cats was still lying on the ground panting. Seeing this situation, she quickly floated up and pulled Akimichi Nahiro to retreat with her black hair curled up.

Everyone ran back only a short distance before the fireball caught up with them.

Xiaolu raised his hand and sprinkled tulip powder into the imperial incense burner, changing the "six smokes in all directions" into "fallen leaf incense" that could reduce the enemy's strength. He quickly swung the imperial incense burner into a round shape, seized the opportunity when the incense burner passed under his body, turned around nimbly, turned his foot on the copper chain, and "threw a hammer" with his foot like a football.

It is said to be a kick, but the actual action is actually far more delicate than "kicking".

Definitely not just raising your foot and kicking it directly towards the incense burner. Doing so will only hurt yourself. Instead, he used the instep of his feet to change the trajectory of the copper chain, and used the soles of his feet to push the incense burner out instantly.

Using the joints of your body as the fulcrum, you can flexibly change the motion trajectory of the incense burner, and instantly burst out with powerful force to shoot out the incense burner.

It is this kind of cleverness that soft soldiers pay attention to.

Xiaolu had spontaneously used this trick when he was in Matsuzawa. Later, he systematically learned the Ohkusa-ryu Chain Technique from Asaki, and of course he became more proficient in the technique of foot hair.

The incense burner thrust out a powerful straight line in the air, hitting the big fireball behind it.

The scent of fallen leaves swept out like an autumn wind, blowing around like a blade. The scented wind blade dimmed the flames on the fireball.

Bang!

The solid copper stove seemed to have hit some kind of wooden material, making a deafening dull sound. The trajectory of the fireball skewed, and it suddenly hit the trees on the side.

"Score a point!"

Xiaolu took back the copper stove.

Because she stopped to fight back, the sending wolf and the red deer also stopped.

Only the resentful ghost who had uniformed the female ghost still wrapped Akido's body tightly with her long hair and evacuated towards the road ahead at a high speed.

If the resentful spirit could run away with Akimichi, it would be a good thing for Kanoya's small team.

After all, Akimichi can't play any role on the battlefield.

And there is no need to worry that the resentful spirit will harm Akido.

The master has said that the promises and contracts made by ghost stories are far more reliable than those of humans.

The resentful spirit of the female high school student ate the incense of Fawn, and also swallowed the message in the scent, which was that she had reached an agreement with the incense burner to "protect Akimichi Nahiro".

rumble--!

The big fireball, which was deflected by Kanoya's incense burner, broke several pine trees before finally stopping its momentum.

The flames were extremely conspicuous in the darkness. The deer looked closely and found a pair of huge burning wooden wheels under the big fireball.

In the center of the two wooden wheels, each was bound to a burning, charred corpse. It might not be accurate to say it was a corpse, because the two mummies were still twisting and struggling on the wooden wheels, constantly opening and closing their mouths, but they could not utter a word. Any sound seemed to be suffering from great pain in the fire.

"What is this? Wheel into the Tao?"

Xiaolu usually has Kamiyagawa pressing his head and instilling knowledge about ghost stories, so he also has a certain theoretical reserve.

If these two big wheels are the main body of monsters tonight, then they are probably Wheels into the Way.

call--!

The burning wooden wheels made a roaring sound, dispersed, spitting tongues of fire and struck again.

The wheels rolled over the pine forest snow, leaving blazing fire marks. It rotates around Kanoya and the shikigami to form two fire rings, one large and one small.

After a few rapid turns, the two fire wood wheels suddenly stopped at the moment when their trajectories overlapped, appearing side by side.

"Meow--!"

At this time, a meow different from the previous group of rotten cats sounded from above, and on the top of several burning pine trees a little further away, a huge black shadow fell!

The black shadow hit the snow but made no sound. After a few more rabbits and falcons, they jumped onto the two burning wooden wheels.

Standing on the two wooden wheels was a half-humanoid monster over two meters tall.

Female, with straight black hair, long cat ears on top of her head, and a white cat tail sticking out from behind.

The female cat demon's hands are shaped like animal claws and covered with short black hair. The thighs are human-shaped and look plump and soft, but below the knee joints they are uncoordinated and connected to the thin black cat calves.

Further down, the claws with sharp nails appeared very large, and they firmly grasped the bearings of the two burning wooden wheels like walking on stilts.

The female cat was wearing a cherry red "visiting" kimono, which was a little torn, and canine-shaped tear marks could be seen everywhere on the clothes.

Moreover, because of the tail behind her, the hem of the kimono that should have covered her hips at the back end had been lifted up and pushed open by the big tail.

From the appearance, this should be considered a cat girl.

However, the first impression of this cat girl is not cute. Her body is too huge, and the aura of the strange talk on her body is strong. She is definitely not a good person, so she has a sense of fear and oppression that makes people's hair stand on end.

"Is this the big monster? So it's not a wheel, it's a train, right?"

Kanoya re-judged the identity of this monster.

Train, a traditional Japanese strange talk.

Legend has it that it is a monster that will snatch the remains of the dead and drag them into the abyss of hell.

The so-called train in traditional concepts originally means literally, a wooden car with fire, which is said to be a means of transportation that takes people to hell. And combined with the long-standing belief in Japanese folk that "you can't get close to the body of a cat", the two fears are combined, giving the train monster the appearance of a cat monster in the legend.

In Japan, there is also a type of folk story called "Cat Danjia".

It roughly means that cats raised in some temples will run to the funerals of nearby residents to make trouble, unless the temple that raises it undertakes the corresponding funeral, it will be quiet.

The specific Cat Danjia story has many versions due to different places of circulation, but each story framework is inseparable from the cat's obsession with corpses.

The story of the monster train is also influenced by this kind of story, and the developed train belief is very widespread-

For example, the train will drag away the bodies of the guilty; the train will appear at the funeral and snatch the newly dead, regardless of the dead's life before death.

Or the train will select the target to kill, and then drag away the remains...

There are all kinds of sayings.

And there are funeral rituals related to trains in various parts of Japan.

So, there is a reason why some games use cat cars to drag corpses.

"Meow——!"

The tall train cat demon raised her right paw, stretched it to her mouth, and licked the short hair on the back of her hand with her tongue.

While licking the hair, she slightly raised her eyes and looked at Shikanoya, her cat pupils were fascinating.

Then, a strange weapon made of bones was thrown out from her right paw.

It seemed to be a whole leg bone of some large creature, connected to half of the pelvis and a whole spine, and the whole skeleton was twitching like a long whip.

The spine at the end of the bone whip was flexible and stretched, and a hot flame rose up with a "whoosh".

"Aba! Aba!"

The little old man saw this and shouted something on Shikanoya's shoulder.

"Her target is us, send wolves and deer, and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The little deer roughly understood the meaning of his scout and knew that it was not easy to escape now. While the subdued ghost took Qiu Dao away, he would not be tied up, so he simply faced the battle head-on.
