The Karasu Tengu flapped its wings and circled over the snowy field, enveloped in the solemn darkness.
"Wow wow——"
At this time, he no longer looked like a crow with a white face and black feathers, but became half human and half bird.
He is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, his face is covered with a white mask with divine patterns, his whole body is covered with shiny black feathers, and his feet look like bird claws.
The original crow wings transformed into arms, holding a long-handled ax in one hand and a black cattail fan in the other.
But a pair of larger and stronger black wings extended from its back.
Whoosh!
The Karasu Tengu flapped its wings and fell rapidly from mid-air, carrying the wind and snow.
The sharp claws of the bird grasped the head of a turbid night thief and jerked it downwards.
puff!
That night the thief snatched the ground with his head and half of his body was buried in the snow.
The long-handled ax in Wu Tengu's hand swung down and slashed hard into the thieves' neck.
The filthy human-shaped monster didn't even struggle, and then stopped making any movement.
As the night thief died, two fat and disgusting black maggots wriggled out of his body.
Wu Tengu waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and a ball of black fireworks roared out.
This is Tengu Fire.
The Tengu Fire wrapped around the black maggots, burning them until they curled up and twitched, turning into two pools of disgusting pus.
After deftly killing a night thief, before the other enemies could attack him, Wu Tengu waved his wings again and took to the air.
He has been fighting against the thieves in the boundless darkness for some time, and has only suffered minor injuries so far.
…
The Karasu Tengu is nimble in movement and is a flying unit, so it really didn't suffer much at first against the flightless thieves.
But as the darkness in the sky became deeper and deeper, the situation of the battle began to change.
The sense of oppression in the darkness became heavier and heavier, and the Wutengu began to lose sight of its direction, and gradually could not see clearly the situation of the enemies on the ground.
Swish!
Many of the night thieves on the ground were armed with bows and arrows and throwing spears. These long-range archer units had their sights set on the Wutengu.
Arrows and short spears pierced the air and screamed.
The sound was muffled in the thick darkness and seemed suppressed.
Karasu Tengu rolled over to avoid it, but the densely packed throwing objects were like raindrops flying upwards, densely packed.
His back, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs were scratched or even punctured in several places.
Many of the night thieves on the ground are no less powerful than the Karasu Tengu.
Outnumbered and outnumbered, it was indeed too much.
The injured Karasu Tengu flapped its wings, but still fell from the air and crashed into the snow with a pop.
The surrounding night thieves seized the opportunity and quickly surrounded him.
The situation suddenly became dangerous.
Can't do it.
Still can't do it.
A long time ago, when the lightless disaster came, he was no match for the hordes of night thieves.
Watching my companions fall one by one, I was helpless.
This is still the case now. Even though he had been practicing very hard, he still seemed too weak when he saw the night thief again.
Wu Tengu swung his ax vigorously, knocking down a night robber who was charging towards him, and chopped him to the ground.
But in the face of the subsequent waves of enemies, it was obviously beyond their capabilities.
Even if you are still fighting with all your strength, there will inevitably be new sorrow.
"A useless follower like me will only bring shame to the Mother Goddess... The Mother Goddess hopes that I can live well and save the believers on the land of Kamui... But I really can't do it... like
I really can't do this..."
Perhaps a long time ago, like other companions, he should have died to be loyal to the Mother Goddess.
That... would be better than living like this.
"Kill...kill!"
Several more night thieves twisted and pounced, one of them was unusually tall, almost half a body taller than an ordinary night thieves.
This large-scale night thief is likely to be rated C-level. If it is just fighting on the ground, its frontal strength may not be inferior to that of Karasutengu.
"Mother Goddess..."
The young Tengu was in pain, and his injured wings could not flap again. Now he was surrounded by night thieves, and he was already determined to die.
And at this moment——
The whining and low sound of conches resounded in the sky.
A huge skeletal whale with only a skeleton and no flesh, surrounded by dreamy blue light spots, swooped down from the sky.
The dense white bones bloomed, like a blooming skeleton flower, blooming and closing, completely wrapping the Wutengu.
The pressure of the air waves caused by the skeletal whale's dive caused the snowflakes to fly, knocking many night thieves out.
Bang!
A few of the night thieves swung out their incomplete and filthy weapons, but they only hit the whale bones, making a sound like gold and stone clashing. The white bones were struck with fine lines before being bounced away.
"What's this?"
Wu Tengu looked up and saw several identical white-bone whales floating up and down in the sky, with dots of blue light on their bodies.
On the back of one of the whales was a child dressed in navy blue.
The child was holding a big conch in his hand. He looked very delicate and could not tell his gender. He was looking at himself from the back of the whale.
The skeletal whales in the sky were constantly making ethereal and plaintive calls, intertwined with the sound of the whimpering conches in the hands of the "blue boy".
"The smell of the ocean...whale?"
Before Wu Tengu could react, he heard a loud bark from ahead.
"Ouch——"
A huge and ferocious beast-shaped figure, its body blazing with fire, exhaling an ancient and corrupt aura, rampaged across the battlefield.
Hit and crushed numerous night thieves.
This majestic and huge black beast is familiar to Karasutengu.
A ferocious big black dog once appeared next to the stranger.
It seems to be the stranger's subordinate.
"Pffff."
Next to the black dog, there is a relatively petite white beast following.
That strange little pig-like beast had a long nose, and a blurry and dreamy red light was constantly sputtering from its body.
Enemies touched by its red light, whether they are night thieves or maggots with half of their body exposed and constantly squirming outside the night thieves, will become eerily calm.
Then it was quickly burned with flames by the accompanying black dog, or corrupted into pus by its extremely corrosive breath.
There are two strange beasts, one black and one white, and their coordination is extremely smooth and tacit.
In an instant, he was at the side of Wu Tengu.
"Are these all the stranger's men?"
The Tengu boy, protected by the whale shield, knelt on the snow and propped himself up with his axe, with a look of surprise on his face.
How could that stranger's subordinate be so powerful?
At this time, Wu Tengu raised his eyes.
Just as he saw the edge of darkness in the distance, Kamiya's hand bloomed with brilliant lightning, and he stepped into this thick and deep dark area.
The word "Yang Lei" in his hand was dazzling and seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to the dirty and dirty night thieves.
"Light... put out!"
"Erase!"
Those night thieves moved erratically, leaving foul-smelling black slime on their path, and rushed toward the Valley of Gods.
The night thief who rushed at the front was tall and powerful, and might have a C-level rating individually.
"That stranger..."
Wu Tengu was actually not sure what the strength of this sudden outsider was.
Although he had indeed carefully observed the other party before, he only felt that this outsider seemed to be of mediocre strength.
It does not seem to be out of the category of "human beings".
Judging from the current situation, that person is probably a so-called "Onmyoji" from the outside world, relying on the power of Kaitan and relying on shikigami to fight.
"That human won't release all the powerful shikigami to rescue me, right?"
Wu Tengu is very upright, and seems to have a clear "stupidity" in him...
When I saw the scene where the night thieves were attracted by the Kamiya River and started rioting, I instinctively feared the worst possibility.
At this time, in his sight, the dazzling figure of Kamiya overlapped with the huge night thief, making him unable to see clearly.
In the dark and dense space, the brilliant lightning was obscured.
And the next second, Wu Tengu saw——
A ferocious bright yellow thunder exploded, spider web-like thunder arcs burst out, and the light suddenly appeared, tearing open the surrounding dark space.
The sudden appearance of bright light made Wu Tengu close his eyes.
Wait until he opens his eyes again.
I saw the giant night thief who was as threatening as a hill in front of the human being. His body stiffened and he slowly fell backwards.
As the C-level night thief fell, the image of the Kamiya River in front of him emerged again.
Kamiya's Ichimonji maintained his slashing posture, and the bright yellow thunder and lightning on the blade shone even more ferociously.
His right arm holding the knife was covered by a transparent black cage hand, and the cage hand was shimmering with a strange black light and red glow.
Not only that, his face was also covered with a white leather mask, and the eyes under the mask were shining in the reflection of thunder.
The mask of jealousy completely covered Kamiyagawa's originally friendly appearance, making him appear strange and grotesque, making even the Karasu Tengu feel malicious and unwilling to get close to him.
In just an instant, that human being's temperament and strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From being "ordinary" in the beginning, he became a person with great strength and courage, making all the ugly night thieves in front of him look pale and powerless.
Pfft, pfft.
The night thief who was knocked down by Kamiyagawa also had several live maggots emerging from his body.
But before those disgusting fat maggots could completely leave the body, they were wrapped in a red mist that surged out of the air and torn into pieces.
"Surround it, surround it,
The caged bird,
I want to come out all the time..."
Next to the human being was a man in a black and red dress, with a terrifying aura, and walked out slowly, dragging a huge machete.
A white origami bird surrounded her, constantly singing childish and weird nursery rhymes.
The retro high-heeled leather boots worn by Guitan in a foreign dress made bloody red mist billow and scatter around her every time she took a step.
She stepped over the body of the night robber on the ground and quickly attacked the other night robbers.
The human being, whose appearance had changed, just raised his head and glanced in the direction of Wu Tengu, and nodded slightly in an extremely calm manner.
"He... is so strong."
Wu Tengu was stunned.
…
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated.]
[Name of the ghost story: Huang Quanjun·Kurobe]
[Grade: D grade]
[Status: In the world of ghost stories]
[Interview progress: 11%]
The phone vibrates multiple times.
The monster called a night thief by Granny Ouchusa is named "Yangquanjun·Kurobe" in Kaidan Monogatari.
Kamiyagawa didn't have time to check his phone.
But just based on combat experience and the strength of the enemy's aura, he could roughly judge the strength of these enemies who suddenly had disgusting maggots on their bodies.
There are no less than sixty thieves in this group.
The aura exuding from most of them is equivalent to D-class ghost stories.
There are about twenty others, and they are obviously taller than the other night thieves. They might be C-level.
This is the first time that Kamiya has had an encounter with a group of elite monsters.
Fortunately, he and his Shikigami are no longer as powerful as they used to be.
Moreover, the number of live maggots on the bodies of those night thieves was not too much, and it was incomparable to the previous ones such as King Zhuqian and Duo Shanyan.
Since the Kamiyagawa side already had experience, it was relatively easy to deal with this amount of black maggots.
Next——
Kamiyagawa, who puts on a mask of jealousy and summons ghost hands; and Mari, who is completely stable at the B-level rating stage, is enough to behead those giant night thieves with C-level ratings.
The remaining dog gods, dream-eating tapirs, and whales cooperate with each other and have a clear division of labor, mainly dealing with the larger number of ordinary night thieves.
Gouzi and Little Tapir had already developed a strong tacit understanding in previous battles.
In addition, they all have experience in dealing with black maggots, and the little tapir's [Sleep and Dream] skill can even directly calm the black maggots into a short dormancy.
Their cooperation is perfect.
Although it was the first time for the little whale to face black maggots, because he was riding on the back of a whale in the air, the thieves on the ground could not do anything to him.
Even if there were throwing tools, they would be blocked by another whale flying beside him, acting as a guard.
Moreover, the whale's fighting ability is not weak.
With a wave of his hand, a skeletal whale spirit can use [Whale Bone·Open] to break through the army and smash into the area where the spear throwers and archers of the night thieves are densely packed.
It shook the ground and crushed a large number of enemies.
The only ones who suffer are the night thieves on the ground.
…
[Underworld Army Kurobe is dead and has received 235 soul crystals!]
The last night thief was also chopped down by Mary's clean back stab.
There isn't much suspense in this encounter.
Kamiya's side was victorious.
After a battle, I didn't collect any materials, but I got some insights into D- and C-level ghost stories.
Twenty thousand soul crystals were also harvested, once again enriching the stock of underworld currency.
The miserable days of poverty seemed to have finally come to an end, and there was no end to the soul crystals. There was simply no way to spend them all.
Kamiya confirmed that the enemy was completely defeated. Only then did he take out his mobile phone to check and found out the name of the night thieves, "Yangquan Army·Kurobu".
"Huangquan? Are those black maggots from Huangquan?"
"And the suffix of these underworld troops is 'Kurobu'. In other words, there are probably other types of underworld troops?"
A simple name made Kamiya think about it.
Because of his daily study, he has a lot of understanding of Japanese mythology.
The term "Yellow Spring Army" has really been seen before, and it is recorded in "Kojiki".
To put it simply, the Huangquan Army is the underworld soldier in Huangquan Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Huangquan refers to the world where evil gods live, located in the dark underground.
The leader of the Underworld is none other than Izanami, the great god in Japanese mythology who created the world by having an affair with his brother Izanagi.
Izanami's title as a god is - the goddess of filth in the underworld.
"If those black maggots are hostile to me...then the other side of Huangquan Naraku are also my enemies?"
Kamiya couldn't help but think so.
If there is an enemy on the other side of Huangquan.
