The greasy man's thoughts were normal, and there were also some from other participating teams who were ready to enter the vortex of the trial.
Although Izayoi seems to be quite calm, in fact they are also very vigilant. After all, judging from the previous trials, these trials all come from the legends and myths of the heavens and the world.
Among these legends and myths, few people can intervene, and sometimes specific events must be completed in order to pass the trial.
“I don’t know what the first trial level is like.”
There was a trace of hope in Kasukabe Yao's eyes. She was very happy to follow Izayoi Izayoi. Being able to fight side by side with her companions gave her great peace of mind.
Leticia took a step behind Izayoi with a gentle smile. She held Kasukabe Yao's hand and kept scanning her surroundings to ensure that there would be no problems.
"This should be near a small village. I heard the sound of children shepherding sheep."
Kasukabe Yao suddenly stopped. She owns the Emerald Ring and the magical beast Celebi, so she naturally has a keen awareness of the surrounding environment.
Faintly, she seemed to hear the sounds of children playing and playing.
There are children, which means there are villages or towns. After all, no children will appear in the mountains to play for no reason.
"Let's go take a look."
Izayoi nodded, and then he took the lead and walked in the direction pointed by Kasukabe Yao.
Not long after, Izayoi and the others saw children playing and playing by the creek. On the lawn in the distance, they could see an old ox slowly gnawing on the grass.
Kasukabe Yao is right, although herding sheep has become herding cattle, there is no difference.
"Fortunately, it's not a shepherd's legend."
Kasukabe Yao breathed a sigh of relief. They had just targeted a wave of [Shepherds] at the four-digit gate. If they encountered the legend of [Shepherds] again, they really didn’t know what to do.
"Who are you?"
After Kaikai Izayoi and the others walked into the group of children, the children who were still very active timidly looked at Kaikai Izayoi and the others and asked.
Comparing the clothes of the children, the clothes of Izayoi and the others were as gorgeous as those worn by the gods in the sky. It is no wonder that these children are quite restrained.
"Kid, may I ask where this is?"
Kasukabe Yao knelt down amiably. To her, the group of children in front of her could indeed be called children.
"Um?"
The group of children were stunned for a moment, and then replied bluntly, "This is the World Village."
World Village!
When this name came to the ears of Nikai Izayoi and others, they were slightly startled. To be given the name of the world, this village is definitely not simple.
"Should we go to the village and have a look?"
Kasukabe Yao suggested that Izayoi and Leticia naturally had no other ideas.
So, under the leadership of the children, the three of them returned to Izayoi and came to a small village surrounded by birds and flowers. It seemed very backward, but the villagers lived and worked in peace and contentment.
"Da Wa, who is this you brought back?"
Just when Izayoi and the other three were still paying attention to whether there was anything strange about the village, a burly and powerful-looking young man stopped in front of them.
He first pulled a child behind him, and then looked at Izayoi and the other three with a serious expression.
I don't know why, but after being stared at by this man, Izayoi and the three of them just felt a little uncomfortable all over their bodies.
"They are very, very good people."
Da Wa was confused by the young man's question. He didn't know the true identities of Izayoi and the others, so he could only describe them as very good people.
Naturally, this description could not dispel the doubts in the young man's mind. He asked Niigai Izayoi, "What are you doing in the village?"
"We are here to solve your plight. You must have encountered some special trouble."
Before Leticia and the others could say anything, Izayoi Kaikai showed a rather sullen expression. This made the young man a little unhappy, but after hearing Izayoi Kaikai's words, he immediately grabbed a steel handle from the side.
cross.
"Sure enough, you guys have something to do with monsters!"
Looking at the young man's prepared expression, a piece of information suddenly appeared in the minds of Izayoi and the others.
【World: Twelve Zodiac Signs!】
[Requirements for passing the level: Protect the twelve zodiac animals from death and kill the twelve monsters! 】
Obviously, Izayoi Izayoi and others have come into contact with the core figures of this world. The young man in front of them is either related to the twelve zodiac signs or to the twelve monsters.
"According to legend, the earth was peaceful and natural, but suddenly twelve demons descended on the world. Because of a prophecy that was spread from nowhere, they spawned a demon to rule the world every year. In order to save the world, a group of demons came to the world.
An unknown brave man launched a resistance against the demons, and then with the help of the twelve mythical beasts, humans defeated the demons. In order to commemorate these mythical beasts, they designated that year as the zodiac year!"
A relatively unknown legend was spread in the audience, and the person who recited these messages was Bai Yaksha.
As a star spirit, Bai Yaksha's lifespan is close to infinite, and she is also very interested in these ancient legends.
"I didn't expect that you would hit them hard at this first level."
Bai Yaksha looked at Lu Xiao and Qian Renxue with great interest.
The world of the twelve zodiac signs is extremely cruel. Any monster placed in the small garden is quite extraordinary. Although their strength in the legend may be average, but with the achievements of the opposite monsters of the twelve zodiac signs, they are at least in the triple digits.
The presence!
If Izayoi and the others want to pass the level, they must hug the thighs of the twelve great beasts and protect them from death in order to successfully fight against the demons.
"Don't you think this legend is interesting?"
Lu Xiao smiled slightly. There were countless legends in the world of Xiaoting. It was only after he felt it a little that he discovered this legend that made him nostalgic.
This period of history, no, I should say this period of legend, should not be sealed in the corner, but should be displayed in front of the world!
In the trial world, Izayoi looked at the clearance conditions in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Do you want to fight against the monster?"
Looking at the serious-looking young man in front of him, Izayoi finally understood where they felt uncomfortable.
The opponent is a brave man who can fight twelve monsters. How is it possible without any special abilities?
Perhaps, that is the gaze that condenses the will of the world and legend.
"How about taking the three of us with you? At least the three of us have a certain ability to protect ourselves."
Izayoi raised his hand, and a ball of flame rose from his palm. The young men and children trembled at the sight of the violent fire.
Using human power to summon flames, this is not a monster, it is a fairy!
The young man gritted his teeth, and then prepared to worship in front of Utakai Izayoi. He knew the appearance of monsters. With the handsome and beautiful faces of Utakai Izayoi, Leticia, and Kasukabe Yao, it was impossible for him to be a monster.
Monsters, then they can only be gods.
Kaikai Izayoi turned around and did not accept the young man's kneeling. Although this was just a world of trials, Kaikai Izayoi still didn't want to treat the people here as puppets without self-awareness.
The young man in front of him is most likely a brave man who leads humans to fight against monsters. This kind of person is worthy of admiration.
"Can you tell me in detail?"
Kasukabe Yao walked up to the young man with a smile on her face. Her smile infected the young man, and then the young man told the secrets of the world.
Just as Shiro Yaksha tells it, one of the twelve monsters will be chosen to rule the world every year in order to completely break the prophecy.
The young man had been to the monster's cave before. If it hadn't been for the help of his friends, he might have been trapped in it and couldn't get out.
"Twelve animal friends?"
Leticia frowned slightly. It seemed that the twelve animal friends around this young man were the legendary twelve beasts, which were the twelve zodiac signs.
They need to protect the twelve zodiac animals from death, and then completely eliminate the twelve monsters.
[Please note that in non-yokai years, all monsters have double-digit single universe-level strength and are immune to any influence from the outside world.]
The sudden reminder made the corners of Izayoi's mouth twitch slightly. He was still thinking about rushing into the monster cave and erasing the twelve monsters.
After all, even a young man with twelve animals can come and go freely, so those monsters are not much stronger.
However, this rule made Kaikai Izayoi give up the idea directly. At the same time, it also meant that they had to stay in this world for twelve years!
Twelve years, what a terrifying number that is.
Sakura can stay in the universe for thousands of years in order to activate the sun, but back to Izayoi and Kasukabe Yosao, they have not lived more than eighteen years so far.
[Don’t worry, after destroying the monsters, you can choose to teleport directly to the next monster year. 】
Lu Xiao and Qian Renxue will naturally not forget this matter. Other members of the community will not take age too seriously, but the two contestants in [Arcadia] are less than twenty years old. Let them
Staying in the trial space for so many years is simply outrageous.
"Can you travel through time? That would be quite good."
Kasukai Izayoe and Kasukabe Yao breathed a sigh of relief. If they really stayed here for twelve years, Kasakai Izayoi would be bored to death.
After a simple conversation, the young man took Kaikai Izayoi and the others to meet his friends, the twelve zodiac beasts.
Of course, they have no achievements now and are just the most ordinary beasts.
Kasukabe Yao's Emerald Ring and Phantom Beast Celebi came in handy at this time.
Celebi, as a fantasy beast in charge of the forest and life, is as dazzling as a god who leads them to evolution to the twelve zodiac beasts who have not yet become gods. The twelve zodiac beasts directly gather around Kasukabe Yao and yearn for it.
.
"This year is the year when the Thunderbolt Spirit rules the world. It has all kinds of magic weapons and powerful spells. It intends to eliminate all those who resist it by eating up all the smart people."
The young man described the current situation. The Thunderbolt Spirit was quite powerful. The young man wanted to fight against it, but could not find any starting point.
Back to Izayoi and others knew that if they wanted to defeat the Thunderbolt Demon this year, they would have to use rats to block the main force.
However, the young man who regarded his twelve friends as his family would naturally not agree with their thoughts, so Izayoi and the others did not speak out about it.
After some discussion, Izayoi Ni and others decided to go to the field to check the strength of the Thunderbolt Spirit first. If the strength was average, then they would just pass it by.
After all, the previous rules stated that monsters outside the Yokai Year were invincible, but no one knew what the monsters within the Yokai Year were like.
Not fighting an unprepared battle, the three of them took advantage of the darkness of night and under the guidance of the young man, quietly touched the lair of the Thunderbolt Spirit.
Still outside the cave, the sound of chewing bones inside the cave gave Kasukabe a little chill.
Combined with what the young man said before about the way the Thunderbolt Spirit rules the world, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of tragic tragedy is happening in the cave.
The young man was in need of teeth. He really wanted to kill the Thunderbolt Demon, but his strength was too weak.
"I'll go first. If I'm defeated, you can cover my retreat."
Back to Izayoi, he picked up a stone and then directly covered the stone with flames and threw it into the cave.
Suddenly, a violent explosion collapsed the cave, and the Thunderbolt Spirit, who was still happily carrying out his rule plan, suddenly became furious.
It flew out of the ruins of the cave in a cloud, and at a glance, it saw Kaikai Izayoi's body wrapped in fire.
"Oh? Who are you?"
It is impossible for humans to master magic. The Thunderbolt Spirit only thinks that Izayoi is a monster from other places. This is not impossible.
Looking back, Izayoi had no intention of talking to the Thunderbolt Spirit. He waved his hand directly, and the endless ice turned into a sharp blade and pierced the Thunderbolt Spirit.
Faced with this terrifying attack, the Thunderbolt Spirit just smiled disdainfully, and then it patted the drum on its waist. A terrifying hurricane and concussive sound waves directly shattered Izayoi's attack.
"The test came out, three-digit level!"
The expressions on the faces of Izayoi and the others were a little ugly, because the attack released by the Thunderbolt Demon just now was definitely a three-digit level of intensity.
The reverse Izayoi, who has played against Long Haochen several times, can be guaranteed. In this case, their idea of defeating the Thunderbolt Demon is somewhat unattainable. Three digits are enough to crush the three of them, unless someone else
The magic weapon that can destroy the Thunderbolt Spirit makes the Thunderbolt Spirit's strength plummet.
"mouse!"
Leticia looked at the young man's pocket. Out of some unknown desire, the young man came out to investigate this time and even brought out the mouse.
Perhaps, this is the so-called guidance of fate!
You need to rely on rats to defeat the Thunderbolt!
