Although the tree body is almost dead, the root system hidden underground of the sacred tree is extremely developed.
The intricate roots spread downwards until they reached a spherical space emitting white light before stopping, wrapping themselves around it layer by layer, covering it.
And inside the space, a huge illusory spirit body is lying lazily here.
The body is dozens of meters tall and looks like a small hill. Even if it is just lying down, it fills half of the space.
Its whole body is covered with black and stiff hair, and a pair of huge wings grow on its back.
The two lantern-sized eyes were narrowed, and the thin and short tail was swinging intentionally or unintentionally behind its back, looking drowsy.
It is conceivable that if such a huge monster takes action, it will definitely be a sight that shakes the earth.
But unfortunately, it can't be done.
However, it's not that it doesn't want to do it.
But it is restricted.
At this moment, an illusory giant arrow penetrated its body, and the tip of the arrow sank into the ground, completely nailing it here.
But if you observe carefully, you can find that the appearance of this giant arrow is exactly the same as the arrow from the God Inari stuck on the sacred tree.
Obviously, this is the spirit body of the Tengu that Inari God sealed back then.
At this moment, the tengu spirit suddenly noticed something keenly and opened its narrowed eyes.
It raised its head and looked at the figure slowly emerging from the darkness.
But even after leaving the darkness, a layer of shadow still flows on the surface of the opponent's body, burning like a black flame.
Even the facial features are hidden in the shadows, and the whole person seems to be made of shadows.
Obviously, the spirit of the Tengu would not have a good attitude toward people like this who didn't know whether they were enemies or friends.
It raised its eyebrows and made a suppressed and low voice of inquiry.
"Who is coming?"
"I am a slave serving my master. According to my master's order, I came here specifically to seek help from Master Inu."
Contrary to his appearance, Shadow answered in a very respectful tone.
"Oh? Then who is your master?"
The other party's words couldn't help but arouse the curiosity of the Tengu spirit, and he continued to ask.
"The master said, you can call him... Fujin."
When the name was mentioned, there was an obvious hint of fanaticism in Shadow's tone.
In this regard, the spirit of Tengu was completely indifferent.
"Fujin?"
It tilted its head and muttered doubtfully.
Then he stretched out his paw and licked it, and said casually.
"It's a name I've never heard of before. He's a little monster who just became famous recently, right?"
"It seems that the outside world has also changed a lot while this dog is away."
"Tell me, what does that man named Fujin want you to come to see me for?"
Looking at the disrespectful Tengu spirit in front of him, Shadow couldn't help but feel a little angry in his eyes.
But when he thought of his mission for this trip, he still managed to suppress his anger and spoke respectfully.
"The master said that he hopes the dog can take action and help the master kill someone."
"Killing? Who to kill?"
"A young man with special powers."
Shadow said solemnly.
"Special? What special method?"
The tengu spirit asked curiously.
Shadow thought for a moment before answering.
"The most special thing about it is that we don't know how special it is."
Are you kidding me?
Upon hearing this, the corners of Tengu Spirit's mouth twitched.
Seeing this, Shadow quickly added.
"However, although we don't know it yet, we can conclude that it is an extremely dangerous force."
"I'm afraid even monsters that have been practicing for hundreds of years can only run away when faced with that kind of power."
"That's why the master asked me to come to you."
"Only if a monster like Inu-sama, who has been practicing for more than a thousand years, takes action, can we hope to kill him completely!"
"Oh? Are you so sure that this dog will agree?"
The tengu grinded his teeth slowly and unhurriedly.
"According to what you said, the opponent's strength is not yet certain. It is very likely that even this dog will be in danger."
"Do you think this dog will agree to something like this that has no benefit at all?"
"What's more, this dog is currently sealed by the Inari God. Even if he wants to take action, there is no way to leave here——"
"The master said that if the dog agrees, he will help the dog get out of trouble."
The shadow suddenly spoke.
He slowly stretched out his arms, and a series of dark curse lines appeared on his arms, surging with powerful fluctuations.
Looking at the suddenly serious eyes of the Tengu Spirit, Shadow said.
"Use this to remove the seal imposed by Inari God on Inu-sama."
"It seems that you have really made enough preparations to let this dog take action."
The tengu spirit showed a ferocious smile.
"Then, Lord Inu, your answer is..." Shadow asked expectantly.
"My dog's answer is, no."
The spirit of the tengu said slowly.
Hearing this, Shadow was stunned for no reason.
"Master Inu, why are you...?"
The spirit of the tengu slowly spoke.
"At the beginning, Inari God promised to this dog that as long as this dog can seriously repent here, he will regain his freedom in a thousand years."
"As of today, nine hundred and ninety-seven years have passed."
"There are only three years left before this dog can regain his freedom."
"At this juncture, you ask this dog to kill someone for your master? Do you really think that this dog has no brains?"
Upon hearing this, Shadow gritted his teeth and quickly cast a spell.
A black curse pattern like an eye floated out from his chest, playing a scene like a projector, showing the scene under the sacred tree to the spirit of the tengu.
Pointing at the figure in the picture, the shadow still refused to give up its last hope, You said.
"Lord Inu, look, he has now arrived in front of the sacred tree and is about to start the sealing ceremony."
"While he is concentrating on the sealing ceremony, you can kill him with just a breath, and then you can escape from this prison and regain your freedom..."
But before he finished speaking, Tengu interrupted impatiently.
"Shut up this dog. If you don't escape, this dog will be sealed by Inari God again."
"What's more, even if I escape, the Inari God will definitely hunt this dog everywhere, so it will only be a matter of time before my dog is sealed."
"Before this dog changes his mind, get out of here immediately."
"Otherwise, this dog will swallow you right now!"
Seeing the other party's expression of no need to talk, Shadow couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds.
He immediately bowed, and then his figure began to merge into the darkness again.
"etc."
Before he disappeared completely, the spirit of the Tengu suddenly spoke.
It stared straight at another beautiful figure that appeared in the image, with saliva dripping down from the corner of its mouth like a waterfall.
"This... this dog has changed his mind."
"This dog has taken over this job."
"As expected of Lord Inu, you are indeed wise!"
Shadow was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Of course."
The Tengu Spirit wiped the corner of his mouth, with a somewhat nostalgic look in his eyes.
"Think back a thousand years ago, when this dog flapped its wings and soared into the sky and roared, all the humans on the ground shivered and bowed their heads."
"Therefore, those demon kings gave me a nickname. Do you know what it is?"
"Could it be...the Roaring Sky Dog?"
Shadow makes a bold guess.
The tengu spirit in front of him raised his head proudly, with a look of pride that could not be concealed in his eyes.
