Chapter 12 Three Endings
Entering the cave behind where the mountain boy lived, Baijie checked his equipment.

He wore a black fox mask on his face that could block the effects of "evil vision" and curses. The gray uniform of the Genin also used magic to enhance its blade resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Under the uniform, he wore Japanese chain mail (鎖紹子), and there were leather protectors on his arms and shins.

Basically, all the equipment on the body has been processed with surgical techniques. Although it is cheap, it also has a certain degree of defensiveness.

Bai Jie did not take the spear into the cave, as it was of no use in such an environment.

His current weapons are two ninja swords, one of which was recovered from a dead companion.

In theory, after completing the mission, the Genin should hand in their equipment and props.

Fortunately, Cai Zang was relatively lenient in this regard, so Baijie took the ninja sword for himself.

In the pouch on his belt were two specially crafted smoke bombs, a poison-fed shuriken, a high-level invisibility amulet given by the second young lady, a lighting amulet, a phantom amulet, a substitute amulet, and a message-type shikigami (a cheap, disposable item)...

In addition, before receiving this task, Bai Jie took the initiative to get a special antidote, anthelmintic powder, eye-clearing pills, nose-opening pills, and hearing-enhancing pills from the second lady by signing a document and putting fingerprints on it. These are all newly developed enhanced pills.

——By the way, there is also the “Living God Pill” that can enhance the body’s functions for a period of time.

"Take the medicine first."

In a dark cave, he took out the eye-clearing pills and swallowed them.

The Qingmu Pill melted in his mouth, and Baijie's pupils hidden under the mask suddenly shrank and turned into a black dot that was difficult to see with the naked eye, making his pupils look like a white film.

"As expected of a newly developed elixir, the effect is really good."

He rubbed his eyelids, blinked, and found that he had gained the ability to see in the dark.

"If this kind of medicine could be popularized among the Genin, the last trip to the Spider's Nest wouldn't have resulted in such heavy losses."

However, he had heard the poisonous insect girl explain that the cost of developing new elixirs was not low, and distributing such expensive medicines to Genin was considered a waste by the main family.

However, this kind of rhetoric is just a trick used by Heijihua Kudzuka to deceive people.

——Not being able to see in the dark is a joke in the eyes of serious exorcists. They have long since undergone various professional trainings and developed the ability to sense murderous intent, detect demonic energy, spiritual vision, or a high-level "mind's eye".

Not to mention fighting in the dark, even if you are blind, it will not affect your combat ability too much.

The new type of elixir is expensive, and its effect is unnecessary for most exorcists. This thing was specially developed by Ge Hua for her lover.

“The debt has increased again.”

Thinking of the amount on the note with his fingerprint, Baijie sighed deeply and moved slowly into the darkness.

In his opinion, this place should not be a purely natural cave, but rather a mine, which may have been used to collect saltpeter or something in the past...

The supporting structures inside the cave are all solid pit wood, and there are many winding branches.

However, when Bai Jie was halfway there, he came to a complex intersection in the cave that looked like a crossroads. Suddenly, a heavy bass sound was heard. It should be the sound of an explosion, and the cave was shaking slightly.

"Well, this must be the explosion caused by Saizo, reminding me that I have led Yamao to the main gate."

It’s great that my teammates are so supportive.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and the sound of children's running footsteps came from the darkness.

"...They are mountain boys, and there are quite a few of them."

Baijie took the invisibility amulet and hid in one of the forked roads. Then, he carefully listened to the sound of running and noticed that it was dozens of mountain children running in the direction he came from.

"Are you planning to escape through this path in the back mountains? Or are you planning to go around to the main entrance of the cave nest and ambush the enemy attacking the cave?"

He thought in the dark. No matter which one it was, it was not something he needed to worry about. Let the newbie guarding outside worry about it. His task was to enter the cave and rescue people.

After calming down, he slowly moved in the darkness.

……

call out!
The ninja sword was thrown two or three meters away, making a dull, heavy sound, and pierced the throat of a monkey-like monster. As the mountain boy fell to the ground, Baijie had already drawn another ninja sword.

"found it."

With a whoosh, he rushed out from behind the rock shelter. The two frightened mountain boys who stayed behind were about to rush up, holding their homemade stone spears.

Aiming at the second target, Baijie quickly threw the ninja sword in his hand.

He has a very good aim.

With a flash of white light, the tip of the ninja sword pierced the mountain boy's chest.

With a whoosh sound, blood splattered from the penetrating wound and scattered all over the ground.

In such situations, Baijie rarely uses shuriken because of its limited lethality. If he wants to kill with one blow, he still has to throw the ninja sword.

At this moment, a mountain boy hiding behind him pounced on him.

The mountain boys were as vicious and insidious as children. When their companions were killed, they did not move at all. They took advantage of the moment when Baijie threw the knife, spit out a fishy breath, and stabbed with the dagger.

The Genin swung his hand without even looking back, and the ninja sword that had flown out mysteriously returned to his hand.

The blade flashed, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the neck. The monster's head flew into the air, and then the body below the neck fell to the ground.

A few seconds later, the mountain boy's head hit the ground. In its lifeless pupils, a look of disbelief remained.

"...This spider silk is quite useful."

Baijie's right hand was wrapped in spider silk, which was recycled from the spider's nest. It was not only tough, but also extremely elastic.

At the end of the battle at the Nest of Evil, he had also secretly recovered some spider silk. The hilt of the ninja sword he threw out was entangled with spider silk.

After throwing the knife, Baijie can pull it back with spider silk and catch it again with a juggling move.

Although a mountain boy was no fool, he was still not as cunning as a human. Before he could understand what was happening, Baijie's spinning slash chopped off his head.

"Besides, there are mountain boys in the game who specialize in sneak attacks."

He let out a sigh.

I can say that I was well prepared and had it planned without any intention.

……

After checking the hall, Baijie found the locations of several hidden warehouses.

It should be a place used to store food and imprison women.

Baijie frowned and investigated the two warehouses, with strong doubts in his heart.

The side quest in Daoshou Village is not difficult.

Because mountain boys and mountain men are not particularly powerful monsters.

——Monsters like miscellaneous monsters and mature monsters are not powerful enemies for the male protagonist even in the early stages.

"Yue Jialuo Yeming, after passing the prologue, quickly reached LV9... Of course, this is the level in the game. Converted, it is a Class C Exorcist, and the combat power is equivalent to that of an ordinary demon."

As long as the male protagonist is careful and brings his initial companions with him, it will not be difficult to complete this side quest.

However, the side storyline of Inamori Village is rather speechless.

This branch has three different endings.

——However, among the three endings, none of them is a good one.
