I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 284 Run!

"Kisaramaki, are you scaring me?"

The man called Tu Luo sneered, staring at Xiu Ji, whose hair stood on end, without moving. "Oh, I think that guy wouldn't dare to come. There's no point in keeping this pigeon. It's better to fill my stomach."

"Wait two more days. Didn't he say he was going to participate in a competition out of town? It will take some time to get back. Besides, it's normal for that kid to hesitate when he's about to die. Of course, maybe he'll kneel down and beg for mercy after he figures it out, hoping to save his life. Humans are such cowardly and delicious creatures. You've eaten so many of them, but you still don't know them well enough."

As if performing magic, Chikan picked up a leftover corpse from behind and threw it over: "If you are hungry, eat this. I caught it around the village over there this afternoon. It is still fresh."

thump.

The naked body fell to the ground, raising a little dust. The bonfire illuminated the miserable remains of the body. The slender white limbs were twisted and bent strangely. It was a girl with cute features. She didn't look very old, about eight or nine years old.

The dark red bloodstains remaining on the bloodless little face seemed to freeze the look of fear. The big eyes, which should have been lively, were now staring at the flickering bonfire dully. The area above the forehead was empty, and there was a big hole in the stomach. Only some dirty blood remained where the internal organs should have been.

"When was it caught?"

Tu Luo took one look at the girl's body and swallowed. He only loved to eat flesh and blood, and didn't care that the brain and internal organs were gone.

He reached out and lifted the girl's calf to examine the body. He found a talisman on her leg. "Is the soul still inside?"

Chikan leaned against the damaged shrine, revealing a look of aftertaste, and touched his swollen belly with emotion: "The method taught by the lord is that the flesh and blood must be eaten with the soul to be tasty."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The mole smiled, opened its mouth wide, and bit off a large piece of flesh from the corpse's thigh. The pale leg bone was exposed in the air, and it seemed as if a childish scream was echoing.

"Mmm, smooth and tender, these little guys are still delicious. It's a pity that things are not the same as they used to be. Otherwise, I could occupy a few cities, keep them captive, and enjoy such delicacies every day. It would be the ultimate bliss in the mortal world. I wouldn't trade it for a godly position!"

Xiuji, who was hiding under the wings, peeked out and took a look, then shrank back in fear. He just listened to the screams of the girl's soul and felt sad. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but said, "You demons, you eat people and souls, aren't you afraid of being punished by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Tu Luo was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter. While chewing, he asked, "I have been eating humans since the time when these humans were still working in the fields. A rough count shows that it was about three or four hundred years ago. I have eaten so many people that I have lost count. Why hasn't Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva punished me?"

The sickle on the other side also laughed: "The strong prey on the weak, how can there be any sin in it. Will the gods punish those humans who slaughter animals? I have never heard of people being guilty of eating livestock. If that is the case, then demons eating humans should naturally be innocent."

"Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, and trustworthiness. These are tools invented by humans to rule other humans."

Chikan came closer, pinched Xiuji's wings with his fat hands, and stared into his eyes: "You little monsters, you were deceived by humans and gave up the fastest way of monster training. You didn't even know how you died until you died. You are really stupid."

Xiuji just stared with his eyes wide open, his feathers standing up, and he swelled up like a ball, as if he was frightened.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chikan felt bored and stretched his body: "You are as cowardly as a mouse. Your master uses a waste like you as a shikigami. I don't think he is a powerful person. Only a weakling like Cangwu Lingzhao would fall into his hands."

Tu Luo ate the corpse in his hand while listening to the faint screams coming from the corpse. He chatted: "I think the pigeons are not heavy enough to attract them. It seems that the boy has some friends around him."

"I saw her from afar before. I could smell the scent of that little girl from more than ten miles away. She is truly divine food. Eating her might be more effective than the legendary magic medicine. And she is the type that the lord likes. Why not catch them all? Even if the girl is as timid as a mouse and hides away, we can still offer them to the lord. It will save our lives."

"If I could be caught, I would have been caught long ago. What do you mean?" Chikan rubbed his chin. "I guess that kid reminded me to hide in the shrine. It's hard to catch him."

"Hide in a shrine your whole life? There's always a chance."

As the mole spoke, it ate all the flesh on the corpse's thigh and began to tear at the slender limbs, as if it wanted to tear it in half so that it could be eaten more easily.

At this moment, the starlight in the night sky suddenly dimmed for some reason, and even the flames of the campfire were suppressed, illuminating only two or three inches around the fire pit. The sickle-toothed bug and earthworm, submerged in the darkness, had not yet reacted.

Clang!
A figure flashed from the shadow cast by the broken torii, and the extreme darkness was cut through by a pure white light. Just one glance at it made the hairs on my body stand on end, and I subconsciously squinted my eyes, as if I was going to be chopped into pieces by this sharp air.

"who!"

The mole became furious when its eating was interrupted. It dropped its body and picked up its weapon from beside it - a black iron rod as thick as a bowl - and swung it at the enemy.

"You rat are looking for death!"

Pong!
The iron rod smashed towards the extremely sharp pure white light. Sparks flew as the weapons collided. He was just about to use the end of the rod to smash it hard like a lever, but he found that the head of the rod became lighter.

At the same time, the attacker's weapon stabbed along the iron rod insidiously and viciously, and the friction between the steel made a harsh sound and sparks flew.

Tu Luo laughed: "Haha, just an ordinary soldier——" and punched him.

Just then, click!

A piece of iron hit the concrete floor with a dull sound. The darkness dissipated, and the bonfire and starlight illuminated the corner again.

When Chikan saw the dim light on the sword blade, his heart was shaken and he felt goose bumps all over his body. His alertness was screaming at him to escape.

"Retreat quickly!" he shouted, and at the same time picked up the longbow beside him, drew his bow, drew his arrow and shot quickly.

shhhhhh!
Upon hearing the warning, Tu Luo hastily retracted his fist and stepped back, but he retreated too late. Seeing that he missed the target, the man changed his attack to a chopping blow and at the same time moved his body towards the imprisoned pigeon to avoid the arrows.

puff!
The sharp blade swept past, spilling a rain of blood. Tu Luo screamed in pain and retreated dozens of steps before he had the chance to look down at the wound on his chest.

The strange thing is that the wound was not very deep and according to past experience, it should have started to heal by now, but now it was bleeding like it did when it was a wild beast.

He was puzzled, "How could it be?"

Looking up, he saw that the person coming was a young human in his teens, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with an exquisite moon-shaped pattern, blue jeans, and canvas shoes. In his hand, he was holding a sword that was longer than an ordinary sword. There was a faint halo on the sword, and just one glance at it made Tu Luo feel suppressed.

He stretched out his hand to touch the enchanted cage of branches, but turbid black smoke spread out to block his way. He held out for a second, and then with a click, all the branches broke.

"he is the one--"

"Hang Yeyu, the demon hunter who dared to offend Mount Oe." Chikan walked to Tuluo, looked at his wound, then looked at the iron rod that was cut off, and frowned: "This kid is a bit weird. I was thinking before that it's understandable that Lingzhao capsized in the gutter, but Cangwu's strength is not inferior to you and me. Try not to fight with him."

Tu Luo looked at him in shock for a second. Most of my skills are in close combat. What are you talking about?
"Are you okay?"

Dong Ye Yu asked after rescuing Xiu Ji.

"My Lord, I——"

"We'll talk about it later."

Dong Ye Yu interrupted Xiu Ji and looked at the little girl not far away whose body had been mostly eaten. He could tell at a glance that her soul was trapped in her body. If he had come a little later, she would probably have died.

Such a cruel act moved even Dong Ye Yu, who was used to seeing evil behavior in Taoxiang, and the girl's cries of pain continued to reach his ears.

If Yuko were to be caught by these monsters, she would probably end up like this.

Dong Ye Yu took a deep breath, anger rising in his heart, and turned his gaze to the two demons not far away.

"Are you from Oeyama?"

As he spoke, he pasted a small talisman on Xiuji's body and whispered, "The wind spirit will help you. Hiiragi Jing and many demon hunters are at the foot of the mountain. Go and inform them that you can go up the mountain now."

Upon hearing this, Xiuji didn't waste any time, flapped his wings and flew up at an extremely fast speed, soon disappearing into the night sky.

"Since you know my origins, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy? Otherwise, if you struggle to the death and anger me, I will eat you like that villain and your soul!"

The earth mole laughed cruelly, and the skin on its body was torn apart with a pop, revealing its true form.

It was covered with brown hair, had a sturdy body, extremely long arms, sharp teeth, a ferocious face, and fierce eyes. It was a three-meter-tall giant ape.

He took out a piece of torn talisman paper from somewhere and stuck it on the wound. The talisman paper and the faint spiritual light in the wound lit up at the same time, and the bleeding stopped.

"I am Chikama, one of the thirty-six demon generals under the command of Master Shuten-doji. You, a mortal, dared to kill the demon of Mount Oe. Your death is imminent! If you do not want to implicate your relatives and friends, offer your head and follow me to apologize to my master!"

Tooth-scythe also laughed, and its sharp white mane like arrows pierced its fat white flesh. Its body swelled and soon became about the same size as a giant ape. Its body was covered with short and thick black hair, its face was like a guinea pig, its beard was long, and it had a pair of large chisel-like fangs. It looked like a porcupine that had transformed into a demon.

"Monkeys and porcupines, you dare to seek death with your low level of cultivation. How come you in Dajiang Mountain are a bunch of demented beasts?"

Dong Yeyu rushed forward with a knife in hand. The ape demon did not dare to confront him head-on, but just leaped and dodged. He kept dodging with extremely agility, narrowly avoiding several consecutive cuts. He shouted with sweat on his forehead, "Why waste your time talking to him? Why don't you call them out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a raging fire came from nowhere like a dragon, instantly igniting his hair. He was so frightened that he grimaced and used his demonic energy to suppress the flames, but was delayed for a moment.

"Die!" Dong Ye Yu shouted angrily, and the sword arrived before the sound. The sharp blade with clear and bright light seemed even brighter against the backdrop of the demon slaying.

The mole was startled and let out a sharp monkey cry: "Ah!"

puff!
The blade cut through, severing its long arm like cutting through butter, and then the blade turned horizontally, about to behead the demon.

"you dare!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Several arrows flashing with ominous light flew towards him. Dong Ye Yu had not yet trained himself to be strong enough to take them head-on, so he dodged them.

Chikan didn't expect Tu Luo to be forced into such a desperate situation. He used a bow and arrow to force Dong Ye Yu to move, while shouting: "Come out! There is a big reward for capturing this kid! Yu, if I capture him this time, I will ask the lord for credit for you. When the lord helps you, will you still worry about being forgotten?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of will-o'-the-wisp fires slowly floated up around the ruined shrine. They were all demons with low cultivation, but there were many of them.

At the same time, a man in a white haori walked out from behind the dilapidated shrine, holding a feather fan in one hand and a katana in the other, with a foul breath.

Dong Yeyu took a quick look and recalled the story of the crane returning to the mountain. This was probably the crane that had existed in the Tang and Song dynasties and was later enshrined in a shrine.

Even from the Song Dynasty to now, it has probably taken a thousand years of cultivation, right?
But looking at his aura, although it looks like he has reached the Golden Core stage, it is extremely weak. Not to mention Yuan Jun, even Chun Yuan is far stronger than him.

Isn't it said that people still often worship him now? How did he become so miserable that he has fallen to the point of associating with demons?

Dong Yeyu frowned: "As a god, worshipped by mortals, high and mighty, yet you watched helplessly as a child was devoured by a demon. Are you worthy of sitting on this throne?"

The man glanced at Dong Yeyu, as if he heard a joke. He laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder: "What do you know as a mortal? God? Do you think I look like a god?"

He carried the sword on his shoulder, his eyes fixed on the naked little girl who was being bitten. There was no pity on his face, only crazy pleasure.

"Do you know who I am?"

Dong Ye Yu looked around and pondered for a second. There were too many demons. If he didn't change back to his original form, he would probably be at a disadvantage when fighting the enemy as a human. If he was attacked by the crane god, he might be seriously injured.

The katana is suitable for street fighting or one-on-one duels, but not for group battles where one is against many.

Anyway, the demon hunters at the foot of the mountain should have arrived, so why not delay the time and wait for them to attack together? Then he said, "Is the letter from the crane?"

"Yes, that's right. You actually remember the letter delivered by the crane?"

Yu was a little surprised: "My wife and I were entrusted by Kukai to go across the sea to bring back all kinds of books and secret techniques. We thought it would be a good deed to benefit the local people. The people at that time also appreciated my wife and I's kindness and built this shrine for us."

He had a look of reminiscence, as if calming down.

"At the beginning, the incense was quite prosperous. My wife and I protected the people in this area and practiced in peace."

"One day a demon attacked. In order to protect those mortals, my wife asked me to seal the demon together. Everything was going well until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually became scarce. It became increasingly difficult for us to exert our divine power. The world also became very strange. In the end, those mortals gradually forgot about us."
