Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 117: Foxes and Spirits

The moment Koizumi Ling shouted out a warning breathlessly, Yang Liu also felt the cold wind approaching rapidly from the back of her head.

His scalp exploded in an instant, and Yang Liu clearly felt that if this attack hit, it would definitely break his defense.

But the attacker's speed was so extreme that it was too late to dodge.

At the critical moment, Yang Liu exhaled suddenly, and the upper body suddenly shrank like a deflated balloon.

Swish!
The invisible wind blade flashed by, but only cut a few hairs.

Without even looking back, he kicked backwards. With the recoil force of the kick, Yang Liu leaped forward, out of the opponent's attack range.

Yang Liu turned over on the ground and stopped with his back to the torii.

Looking up, Yang Liu was slightly stunned. He finally saw what had attacked him.

"fox?"

It was a giant fox that looked as big as a house, its entire body made of blue energy.

These visible energies make up the fox's body, making its fur and eyes appear lifelike.

When Yang Liu looked up, the fox had just stopped retreating, and its limbs left deep marks on the stone floor.

Yang Liu's kick just now hit the opponent very hard, but judging from the fox's actions, it seemed that it did not cause any effective damage.

"Teacher, are you okay?!"

Koizumi Ling was also frightened by what happened just now and broke out in a cold sweat. Because she was blocked outside the torii by golden chains, she could only observe the scene inside through the gaps in the chains, so she couldn't see clearly.

Yang Liu looked at Koizumi Ling in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could catch up. With his and the raccoon cat's speed, a normal human should not be able to keep up.

However, Yang Liu did not bother with these things for the time being. After all, Koizumi Ling herself was a talented person and could not be confused with ordinary people.

"Thank you, Koizumi-san. If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid this time would really be over."

"Great..." Xiaoquan Ling breathed a sigh of relief and pulled at the golden chain, trying to look inside. "What is that thing? Why does it look so much like a fox?"

"Well..."

Looking at the raccoon cat that had been kneeling and worshipping the fox since it came out, Yang Liu raised an eyebrow and said, "The one opposite is probably the owner of this shrine."

Koizumi Ling was shocked: "Huh?! Are you saying it's the deity enshrined in this shrine?"

"It's probably something similar. Anyway..."

Yang Liu looked at the trembling raccoon cat in her hands, and the other raccoon cat hiding under the shrine and kneeling before the fox, with a strange look in her eyes:

"I didn't know that before. Are raccoons actually canines?"

"Ah? Although this is true, why did you come to such a conclusion, teacher?" Koizumi Ling was stunned.

Yang Liu showed Xiaoquan Ling the fat raccoon cat that was still trembling in her hand: "Think about it, if the raccoon cat is not a canine, why would the fox protect the raccoon cat?"

"…Is now the time to think about this kind of thing?!" Koizumi Ling was speechless.

Compared to her nervousness, Yang Liu seemed very calm: "Don't worry, that guy hasn't attacked me yet. I think it's probably because of the raccoon cat in my hand."

Looking at the giant fox that was baring its fangs and claws but not continuing to attack, Yang Liu shook the raccoon cat in his hand slightly and found that the other party's eyes were always following the shaking of the raccoon cat. Subconsciously, he glanced at the merit box behind the fox and the tributes placed around the box, and Yang Liu was thinking about something.

"What should we do now? Teacher, can you leave?" Koizumi Ling asked anxiously through the chains.

Yang Liu shook her head: "I'm afraid that's not possible."

He raised his hand and pressed the outside of the torii gate. There were faint ripples in the air, as if an invisible barrier was enveloping the shrine.

However, the wind and fallen leaves from the outside world could easily blow in. Yang Liu guessed that this should be a one-sided barrier, so he also reminded Koizumi Ling:
"Be careful and don't come in, or you won't be able to leave."

"Yes! Don't worry, teacher, I won't drag you down!" Koizumi Ling nodded immediately.

Yang Liu raised his head and glanced at the sky, as if he could see an invisible barrier covering the entire mountaintop.

Yang Liu always felt that this kind of thing was very familiar. He couldn't help but think of the monster he had met at the Mongolian tomb on Nokonoshima. Although the form of expression was slightly different, he had also encountered something similar to the barrier at that time.

Xiaoquan Ling looked at the current stalemate and became anxious: "What should we do next? The other party doesn't seem to want to communicate with us."

Yang Liu turned her head to look at her, a smile appeared on her face: "Koizumi-san, do you play games?"

"Huh? Online games? I used to like them very much..." Koizumi Ling was stunned.

"Since we're just playing the game, the game should have told you what to do if you encounter this situation."

"Teacher, are you saying..."

Koizumi Ling followed Yang Liu's gaze and saw the angry eyes of the giant fox.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible! Teacher, are you going to fight this guy? There's no way you can win!"

"Mr. Koizumi, I'm going to criticize you for this. How do you know you're not good enough before you even have a fight?" Yang Liu held her neck and shook her head left and right to start stretching.

"Teacher, you can tell this kind of thing at a glance. One of that guy's legs is bigger than yours!" Koizumi Ling shook her head repeatedly.

"Why don't you hold on for a while, I'll go down and find someone to see if they can help. With this raccoon cat on hand, it shouldn't attack casually."

"I think you may not have time to find someone." Yang Liu denied her statement.

"why?"

"Because the raccoon cat I knocked unconscious is about to wake up. Oh, if I had known it would be so troublesome, I should have hit it harder."

"Huh?" Koizumi Ling didn't quite understand the logic behind it.

Yang Liu shook the raccoon cat in her hand. "If we ignore the race of these guys and only consider the relationship between the two sides, do you think that if there are gods in the shrines in the city, those gods will surrender just because of a believer captured by the enemy?"

"That shouldn't be the case..." Koizumi Ling answered subconsciously, and then she understood, "But..."

Yang Liu interrupted her bluntly: "Xiaoquan classmate, let me ask you, is there still death in me now?"

Xiaoquan Ling was stunned, looked carefully and shook her head: "No more."

"That's good."
