In the mountains and forests where the Kinugawa River flows.
This section of the Kinugawa River is relatively calm and does not appear as "ferocious and violent as the fury of a demon".
The river flows flatly through the riverbed between the woodland. The trees along the bank are rustled and swayed by the mountain wind. The green leaves fall on the river, and the sparkling light shines on the leaves and illuminates the veins of the leaves.
However, such a quiet scene is just an appearance.
It is now 3:20 in the afternoon, and there are only the last ten minutes left before the operation to defeat the earthquake catfish begins.
The spiritual masters participating in this operation in the mountains and forests are all ready and ready to go.
Ozaki Ryuichi and his beautiful figure stood together on a slightly higher slope. Many brown mountain rats squeaked and burrowed out of the soil under the beautiful figure's feet.
After observing for a while, Ozaki jumped down from the slope, waved his hand towards Kamiyagawa who was looking at him not far away, turned around and left.
His work has been done.
The swarms of mountain rats quickly dispersed in all directions, their noses twitching, circling back and forth around the spiritual exterminators who were responsible for forcing the earthquake catfish to be unearthed.
"Well……"
As the divine son of Juqiong Shrine, Onizuka is an important role in the team of spirit slayers who release rock and earth magic.
She doesn't like rats very much, but after all, she has seen many big scenes and has a strong psychological quality. The scene of rats running around in the forest in front of her only makes her feel slightly uncomfortable, but it will not affect her actions.
The little witch followed the mountain rat that "led" her and began to move, and the other spirit removers also started to move.
Everyone dispersed into the forest, and the rats dug holes at their feet and burrowed back into the ground.
This is the beauty-like ability that controls the rat swarm and provides the final guide and mark for the casting positions for the exorcists.
"Silence."
Everyone stopped making noises, and the originally agitated mountain forest became quiet again. Only the sound of the Kinu River flowing not far away could be heard.
Onizuka looked around from his position.
This relatively primitive forest is densely layered in the sky with intertwined branches, making it difficult for sunlight to reach the ground. The sunlight that rarely escapes from the treetops is like brightly colored insects crawling on the moss and pale red withered fern leather.
.
The little witch held a platycodon yellow talisman between the fingertips of her right hand and looked at her watch.
The spiritual masters have all checked their watches before taking action. According to the plan, as soon as 3:30, everyone will release the geotechnical spells together. Together, they will shake the depths of the ground and force out the earthquake catfish passing by here.
.
There are only two minutes left before the action time.
"call--"
Onizuka stared at his watch and took a shallow breath.
The second hand on the dial slowly rotates until it is about to cross the 0 o'clock position for the second time...
clatter--
time up.
"Those who are facing a battle should all line up in front!"
"Jiuluo Immortal and the Master of Bodhi Lochena, Savaha."
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
The exorcists began to use their own methods to act in sync.
"Earth, come up."
Onizuka shook his slender fingers, and the platycodon yellow talisman turned into a brown beam of light and shot straight to the ground beneath his feet.
The ground began to tremble, and the originally peaceful Kinugawa River began to experience abnormal waves.
As more and more spells are exerted, the tremors on the ground obviously become violent. Rocks and soil are torn apart by an invisible force. Rocks all over the sky fall like showers, landslides and ground cracks, and the ground squirms.
The once clear outlines in the mountains and forests are blurred.
But this is not an earthquake, but the result of the convergence of man-made magic on site.
"I didn't expect the scene to be so big."
"What do you think, kid? This is a crusade against the Aragami."
Kamiya and Uncle Jiecheng stood together. With his eyes fixed, he could clearly see the collision and turmoil of various spiritual powers in the mountain forest.
The chaotic scene lasted for a while, and then a strange, huge smell with the smell of water and mud rose into the sky from the Kinugawa River.
"coming?"
"Well, it should be."
Rocks rolled down, towering ancient trees were broken in half, a crack opened in the river beach, and a roaring sound like a bell came from the depths.
A dark, angry beast squeezed out from the gap where the river water jumped. It was an extremely huge catfish. Just the head as big as a mountain that emerged from the soil was intimidating.
On the edge of its cave-like mouth, there are six white beards, each of which is as thick as an ancient tree. The four eyes, which grow symmetrically on the flat fish head, purr.
A monster that can summon earthquakes and is associated with the mysterious Matsuzawa Village that disappeared in an earthquake decades ago, the Earthquake Catfish.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
Ji Chengzhen Jianyou raised his hand and fired the gun.
The slit girl appeared with a frightening aura of terror, her windbreaker swung wildly, and the huge scissor blades in her hands reflected the cold light.
The exorcists who originally collaborated to shake the deep underground rock and soil have completed the first phase of their mission.
After the earthquake catfish appeared, what these members had to do became——
During the earthquake caused by the catfish, they used their specialty rock spells to maintain the situation on the battlefield and prevent large-scale landslides in the mountain forest.
At the same time, efforts were made to block underground roads so that earthquake catfish could not easily escape into the soil.
Kamiyagawa also entered combat mode simultaneously.
Hua Hua——
The Ibaraki tattoo on his right shoulder blade, although hidden under his clothes, became extremely vivid and enchanting at the moment.
Gloomy black scales mixed with a bit of grayish white light came out from his right arm and were closely arranged. The red blush and black light swirled violently on it, forming a strange cage.
After taking a dose of [Life Extension Purple Gold Cream], the purple and white prajna spiraled out, turning into a mask of jealousy and attached to his face.
Sizzling——
At the same time, Kamiyagawa held the sword in his right hand and touched the long, narrow and beautiful blade with his left hand.
The clear bright sun thunder splashed and jumped, the lightning arc was dazzling, burning the air, and making a series of explosions.
"It's our turn, take down the earthquake catfish!"
Kamiyagawa waved his knife decisively and rushed towards the tumbling giant catfish.
Between the leap of the rabbit and the falcon, the movements are so fast that afterimages are dragged out.
Beside him, countless figures of wild gods appeared...
…
The time goes back to a little earlier in the afternoon, around 2:30.
In Songze Village.
The fawn ate all the food it got from Kumiko Sugiura, drank part of the water, and then rested for a while.
She now feels like she is resurrected, full of energy and fighting spirit.
Of course, Luyeya has actually been hungry for three days, and it is unrealistic for her body to return to its best condition all at once. But Xiaolu’s feeling of good about herself is not fake. This may be due to her more optimistic personality and her inner atmosphere before the decisive battle.
There are relationships.
Human consciousness, or subjective initiative, is still very wonderful, and it can often stimulate an individual's extraordinary physical potential.
Kanoya is probably in such a state now.
"Little grandpa, are you ready? We are going to make a big fuss."
"Abba!"
The deer checked his equipment, slung his bag over his shoulder, opened the door, straightened his chest and walked into the warm sunshine of the village.
The first place she went to was not the canteen in the center of the village.
It is located on the east edge of the village, where there are several rows of wooden structure houses.
After staying in Matsuzawa for three days, she had already figured out the situation in the village——
For example, there are relatively few people living in the east side of the village, and there are only a few hunters here and there.
Arriving at the target house, Kanoya looked at his watch and saw that it was not yet three o'clock.
"In more than half an hour, Master will start taking action. According to the plan, Master will appear in Songze Village at about 3:40 to 50. I want to be here within about an hour,
Destroy Songze Village as much as possible and survive."
Kanoya simply recalled today's battle plan in his mind.
As she thought, she continued walking forward and saw a person sitting in the yard of the house in front of her.
It's a hunter I know named Takao.
This Takao was one of the three hunters Luyewu met in the forest when he first came to Songze Village. At the same time, for three consecutive nights, neither Luyewu nor Sanglang attacked Takao.
Therefore, the opponent still has one of the few shotguns in Songze Village.
This is one of the reasons why the deer will regard this as the first attack point.
In the small yard of the house in front, the sturdy hunter Takao was sitting on the bench with a smile, wiping his shotgun.
The sun shines warmly on me, and everything is so peaceful and harmonious.
He looked up and saw Lu Yewu walking along the dirt road outside and walking past the door of his house.
"Ah, Kanoya, why are you here?"
Takao greeted cheerfully.
The deer stopped with a serious expression.
Takao saw a green banana leaf in her hand.
Kanoya turned around and walked into the yard, where he stood with his back facing the direction of the afternoon sun.
She moved lightly, speaking as she walked, her voice was very low, with a very strange sense of compassion: "Namo Amitabha Ye, Duotagadu Ye, Duo Di Ye he..."
Some dazzling sunlight passed through the tips of her hair and fell on her shoulders, with bright and dark light and shadow flowing on her body.
"Haha, Kanoya, what are you talking about? Chanting sutras?" Takao was still smiling, his lips widening wider and wider.
"Well, it's the rebirth curse."
Kanoya replied seriously.
The next second, the end of the broad-leaf banana in her hand split, and soft green lines were drawn out, vaguely woven into the shape of a human face in the air, and attacked Takao, instantly killing the hunter with a gun.
The hands were tightly tied and controlled.
While using the broad-leaf plantain to attack, Kanoya also made an external lion seal to strengthen his physical fitness.
A stack of Buddha stickers flew out of her bag, spread out in a rustle, and as they flew, many small golden characters with runes appeared floating on the originally blank paper.
Those Sanskrit gold characters wrapped around Luye House, and the girl who was originally caged in the sun looked even more holy.
"I'm sorry, it might hurt."
Although it is clear that the Takao in front of him cannot be regarded as a human being, he will turn into a terrifying leech man at night, and even if he is killed, he will come back in a strange way.
But no matter what, he still looks humanoid.
Xiaolu, who doesn't have much experience, is far less powerful than her master, so attacking Takao like this will make her feel obviously guilty.
But there is no other choice but to do this.
If I had done it faster, it wouldn't have hurt so much, right?
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yewu turned out the Shōtoku Imperial Incense Burner in his hand. The chain made a sound of metal friction. The small and heavy Imperial Incense Burner came out of his hand, whistling in the wind!
As for the hunter Takao, he didn't seem to realize what happened at all. The moment his hands were tied, he was still sitting on the bench with a smile.
boom!
There was a muffled sound like a skull cracking open.
Takao fell backwards from the stool, collapsed on the ground and became lifeless in an instant.
His head was sunken, and blood with a strong smell of water was splashing everywhere, but the corners of his mouth still maintained a happy smile.
"Feel sorry."
Now that the action has begun, Kanoya has no way out.
She lifted and swung it like a flail, and the heavy copper chain of the incense burner flipped and hit the barrel of the shotgun hard.
Just this one blow deformed the barrel of the gun.
The physical enhancement brought by the outer lion seal indeed allows Xiaolu to better use and control the unique weapon prop of the imperial incense burner.
Afterwards, Kanoya picked up the deformed shotgun from the ground and quickly turned around and entered Takao's house.
Because when he was observing the situation everywhere, a little old man helped to check out the situation, Xiaolu had already known about the situation at Takao's house.
She picked up a kerosene lamp from the window sill and threw it towards the bedside.
The glass oil lamp was smashed to pieces, and kerosene spilled onto the bed and the wooden walls.
Lu Yewu struck a match and threw it on the bed.
The sulfur smell from burning matches mixed with the tar smell of kerosene, instantly igniting an orange-red flame.
The distorted firelight reflected in Lu Yewu's eyes.
The deer didn't stay too long, left the deformed shotgun in the room, turned around and strode away.
By the time she walked a little further away from Takao's house, the wooden structure house was already in flames, with tongues of fire more than ten feet long licking the eaves, and then burning again, and the violent explosion of roof tiles could be heard.
Luyewu quickly fled the scene under the leadership of the little old man.
This was just one place. She planned to set fire to many places in Songze Village to create chaos and attract the attention of Songze people, and then burn down the most important village canteen.
…
Kanoya's actions indeed brought chaos to Matsuzawa Village.
On this peaceful afternoon, the people of Songze suddenly discovered that fires broke out inexplicably in several places in the village, and the fires continued to burn and became more and more intense.
The acrid smell of burning smoke was everywhere.
The people of Songze did not feel any fear during the fire, they just laughed and started organizing firefighting.
They are not afraid in the first place.
And among the flames soaring into the sky in the village, someone heard the shrill howl of a wolf. It seemed that the evil wolf that originally roamed in the forest had also appeared around the village.
Exactly at this time.
That evil wolf is really causing a headache, and may have joined forces with the unknown monster wandering in the forest.
There are now very few shotguns left in the village. For the always happy people of Matsuzawa, the current situation seems to be difficult to deal with.
