Chapter 115 Abandoned Shrine

"Alas... it's just thrown away after use..."

Nagai Miko curled her lips in dissatisfaction as she looked at Yang Liu's departing back. Just as she was about to turn around and say something, she found that Koizumi Ling also suddenly rushed out with a serious face.

"bell?!"

"Death has appeared on the teacher's body again!"

Koizumi Ling only left these words and quickly disappeared in the direction Yang Liu left.

Nagai Miko also wanted to catch up with them, but the two people ran so fast that they disappeared at the end of the road in the blink of an eye, and soon disappeared into the jungle.

"Ah!!! These two guys... they both don't talk properly!"

Looking at the deep jungle and rugged mountain road in front of her, Nagai Miko stamped her feet angrily, thought about it, and simply ran back to school.

She did not miss anything that Koizumi Ling said before she left. Does this mean that Teacher Yang is also in danger of his life?

In any case, the right thing to do is to report to the teachers at school first.

……

……

Yang Liu didn't pay attention to what happened after he left. His eyes were fixed on the afterimage in front of him, walking briskly in the mountains and forests.

As the chase continued, Yang Liu's expression became more and more serious.

If he just felt something was wrong before, now he was basically certain that there was something wrong with the raccoon cat in front of him.

The opponent's body has obviously been greatly strengthened. After all, judging from the movement speed it is showing now, an ordinary raccoon cat would never be able to reach this level even if it runs to death.

Although the manifestation of physical enhancement was different, Yang Liu immediately thought of the wild boar he met on the mountain next to Mikazuki Lake.

Was it because someone had discovered his whereabouts on the Three Months Lake? Or was it the same result caused by an accident?
No matter what the reason is, it is worth it for Yang Liu to catch up and investigate.

The raccoon cat running quickly in front also discovered Yang Liu who was following closely behind it. In addition to its physical enhancement, its intelligence seemed to have also been enhanced. After discovering that Yang Liu was chasing it closely, it kept circling around in the mountains.

Unfortunately, the body strengthening level of this raccoon cat is much weaker than that of the wild boar, not to mention compared with Yang Liu now.

No matter how it fled, it could not escape Yang Liu's sight, even if it escaped into the bushes or trees.

No matter where it ran, Yang Liu could quickly follow it, and even if it tried its best, it was powerless.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour. The raccoon cat found that Yang Liu was still following him like a ghost. He was angry and scared. If he could speak well, he would have cursed.

But seeing it running away and squeaking, I'm afraid it has started cursing.

However, no matter what, it could not change the fact that it could not get rid of Yang Liu. When the raccoon cat realized that its physical strength was about to be exhausted, driven by the desire to survive, it decisively turned around and ran straight towards a certain direction on the top of the mountain.

Seeing the opponent's movements, Yang Liu, who had been following slowly behind, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, sped up again, and squeezed the physical strength of the raccoon cat in front.

After it stopped running around, with the raccoon's speed and the height of the hill on Noko Island, it would take almost no time to cross it.

Soon, the man and the beast arrived at an area near the top of a mountain.

Yang Liu was a little surprised when he saw the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him after crossing the jungle.

A dilapidated stone staircase suddenly appeared in the small open space, hidden directly in the bushes, winding up along the steep ridge, and the top was also hidden in the green jungle. Judging from the torii gate next to the steps, which was covered with moss but still visible in its original appearance, this should be the entrance to a shrine.

Even though it was being chased, the raccoon cat suddenly slowed down after arriving here. It first stood up, put its front paws together, and bowed twice to the Torii gate, then jumped onto the stone steps with its center of gravity on all fours.

“There’s actually a shrine here?”

Yang Liu stood beside the torii and looked around carefully. Judging from the state of the torii and the damaged condition of the steps, this should be an abandoned shrine.

This type of shrine is quite common in Japan. Most of them were established by local residents in the past, but were gradually abandoned with the development of the times.

After checking around and confirming that there were no traps, Yang Liu and I crossed the torii gate and walked up the stairs.

However, he didn't walk too fast this time. Although his speed was still amazing, it was much slower than before.

As I walked along the willows, I observed the surroundings. No matter how I looked at it, it was a pristine landscape, but there was no trace of any human activity. It seemed that this place had been abandoned for quite a long time.

But for some reason, Yang Liu had a strange feeling in her heart, as if this staircase was out of place in this jungle.

"There are also insects and birds chirping around... so that means it's not that problem. What is it?"

Soon, Yang Liu reached the end of the stairs.

Before he knew it, he had climbed to the top of the mountain and arrived at the area where the shrine was actually located.

There is a stone torii at the end of the stairs. Although it is damaged, it still stands.

Inside the courtyard, several old cherry trees stand quietly guarding the grounds, and the somewhat dilapidated main hall of the shrine stands in the center.

The raccoon cat that he had been chasing before was hiding in the gap under the shrine building, revealing a pair of eyes in the darkness and looking at Yang Liu.

In front of the broken donation box in the main hall above was a variety of miscellaneous offerings.

There were various flowers and berries, but more often than not there were items that looked like garbage to a human.

Yang Liu also saw several pairs of colorful shoes. It seemed that the previous shoes were also stolen by this guy.

Even with an enhanced brain, it is unable to distinguish the human concept of "treasure". It is probably because it sees that this thing is colorful, so it is placed here as a tribute.

Except for the fact that the area around the merit box was a little messy due to the presence of a large number of offerings, the main hall, although a little dilapidated due to disrepair, was not dirty at all. Instead, it exuded a tranquility and solemnity that transcended the world.

"Grass!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Liu's expression suddenly changed - he finally understood what the disharmony he had felt along the way was.

"!!!"

An unknown language sounded in my ears. Although I couldn't understand what it was saying, I could tell that it was filled with anger.

Yang Liu didn't have time to think about anything, as he suddenly lunged forward to avoid the attacks from both sides of the torii.

Wow...

The sound of iron chains appeared out of nowhere. Turning around, I saw a large number of chains made of golden light popping out from the original stone torii.

The chains densely blocked the entire torii gate. If Yang Liu had not dodged quickly, he would have been tied up tightly.
