Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 83 Hong Tianyin

"Help."

"Someone is coming."

"Help me..."

On a mountain road not far from the City of Mist, screams rang out. Several horse-drawn carriages carrying goods were attacked, and the horsemen and merchants' servants fled, screaming.

The ones who attacked the carriage were not bandits, but "baboons" that ran out of the mountains - a kind of evil ape that lives in the deep mountains.

The demon ape "baboon" is extremely powerful and ferocious. It can run as fast as the wind in the mountains and forests. It also has a habit of eating people. If you are targeted by them in the mountains, you will have no chance of escape.

The baboons first killed the horses, ripped open their stomachs with their claws, pulled out the intestines and internal organs, and divided and ate them.

Next, they leisurely licked the blood on their furry claws while chasing the fleeing groom and merchants.

One of the baboons was the fastest. It jumped into the air, caught up with a figure like a flying bird, and stepped down hard.

The man could not withstand the weight and momentum of the demon ape and was trampled heavily to the ground, his internal organs shattered and he vomited blood.

"These monsters!!"

The groom fled in the other direction, trying to slide down the mountain path.

Swoosh! The stone cut through the air and smashed the back of his head.

The groom fell backwards and rolled down the mountain to his death.

"Jiji."

The baboons laughed out loud.

They have no hatred, murderous intent, dissatisfaction or anger towards humans, they kill simply for fun.

"Humans are all idiots", "This mountain is originally our territory", "Too weak", "Kill them all"... The demon apes are still not satisfied and they want to continue chasing and killing.

With a sharp whoosh, one of the baboons stopped moving, with a ninja sword stuck in its forehead.

The moment their companion was killed, the baboons became alert and glared at the smoke and dust rushing towards them from the distant mountain path.

"It hit the target."

Baijie, sitting on the big wild boar's head, maintained the posture of throwing the ninja sword.

"Miss Yaohuo, please provide me with support... I will be responsible for leading the charge."

"no problem."

Yaohuo held several talismans side by side in his hands.

"disease!"

The talisman was wrapped in red flames when it flew into the air, and rushed towards the baboons like a volcanic stream.

The demon apes did not retreat. They bared their teeth ferociously and ran forward, radiating demonic energy from their bodies. Huge amounts of energy burst out from their bodies.

boom!
Suddenly, the air pressure changed drastically, strong winds surged, and even the flames were blown away by the evil spirit.

However, the flames released by the talisman were just a decoy. Baijie activated the "Shrinking the Earth" technique, and in his right wrist, which contained power, he held a long spear.

"Zira!"

Lightning flash.

He took a step forward, and his spear pierced through the void like lightning, and appeared in front of a demon ape.

A bloody hole appeared in the baboon demon's throat. Bai Jie's attack was too fast. He stabbed out a shot and then dodged backward because the two baboons behind him also caught up.

"Go!"

Yaohuo threw another talisman.

The talisman flew to the ground and pierced into the soil. In an instant, the black soil began to expand and churn, and hedgehog-like needles grew out of it, densely attacking the two baboons.

Ooooooooooooooo!
The baboon monster screamed as it was pierced by countless wooden needles and died tragically after wailing.

The leader of the demon apes was enraged and pounced on Baijie with a roar. He swung his right hand and lifted up the scattered leaves on the ground.

It attacked Baijie, using all four limbs, approaching with its sharp claws and teeth.

However, what was puzzling was that this attack, which could even shatter rocks, always missed Baijie by an inch and failed to hit him.

Really, just a little bit.

But it's not just that simple.

The wind pressure from the claws swung out would lift Baijia's hair every time. Every time the foot kicked, a hole would be cut in the surface of his ninja uniform.

"Sure enough...I can see the other person's movements clearly."

Bai Jie thought that he had grown after experiencing the life-and-death battle between the Spear Saint and the evil Serpent King.

Now, he could sense the ape's movements through his own senses, the air currents flowing around the monster, the hair being touched by them, every subtle movement. He would take in and examine all of this one by one, then recreate it in his mind.

'Yes.'

Just a little bit off.

With just this inch or so of distance, he was able to cleverly dodge fatal attacks. A slight deviation could allow the enemy's attack to miss.

Swish!
He activated the "Shrinking the Earth" technique again, moved to the other side, raised his spear again, and distanced himself from the demon ape.

"I can almost finish you off."

Baijie pointed the gun forward and aimed the blade at the demon ape.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The irrational monster was angry.

The hair on his body stood on end - but it was too late.

"call!"

The seven-section spear swung over like a straight line.

This is a move from the Cross Fang Barking God Style, passed down directly by the Spear Master.

It was like a tiger's sharp claws, a very powerful blow.

The demon ape also realized the horror of this move. Although it was shocked, it did not waver. It immediately crossed its arms and wanted to take the attack.

With a "swish", the sweeping spear hit the baboon's hands.

The shock wave, which was comparable to a huge block, hit the baboon's arms strongly, shattering the bones of both arms, and the body of the demon ape was also knocked into the air by the impact force.

The second shot was fired silently, and the tip of the gun stretched and suddenly became much longer. Bai Jie threw the gun into the air and pierced the baboon's heart.

The demon ape's life was also cut off in an instant.

No, in fact, it is the spiritual power that secretly controls the seven-section spear to become longer. The length of this spear can be adjusted at will and can be freely combined. It suddenly becomes longer during the battle, which is fatal to the monsters who cannot understand the characteristics of martial arts.

"Knocked down."

Baijie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if it's just a little bit, I've become stronger."

When he turned around, Yaohuo had already started to clean up the mess with talismans and spells.

"Back to the point..."

The female kunoichi asked curiously, "This place should be close to Kasumi Castle, so why are there monsters attacking passersby along the way?"

"It's very likely that something happened to Tenshinzakura, and the barrier supported by the guardian deity was broken."

Baijie sighed.

"Many mountain monsters have their own fixed territories. I think these baboons might be local mountain monsters. Suppressed by the power of the guardian god, they were forced to leave this mountain and hide in the deeper mountains away from human habitation... However, after sensing the weakening of Tenshin Sakura's power, they returned here."

He said calmly, "The existence of monsters in this world is based on an ecosystem. It would be risky to disrupt it rashly."

Baijie knew that this was just as Yuki Yashahime said, it was the inevitable sign of "everything that rises must fall". The lake owner said that for a long time, the Tenjinzakura had been too protective of humans and biased towards humans, forgetting that gods should maintain a neutral stance, and had always given too many favors to the mortals of Dewa Kingdom.

Ultimately, this cause and effect will produce a huge backlash.

“…It’s only a matter of time.”

Princess Yukiyashahime sighed deeply, "The green trees in the forest are growing too lushly, squeezing out the living space of the weeds. The monsters that suffered because of the Kamishiro cherry tree might find an opportunity to make a comeback."

She said in a low voice, "From a certain perspective, the longer we delay, the greater the harm will be... However, if the consequences of an outbreak are too severe, the aftermath will be too difficult to eliminate."

"Master Lake Master, it seems to me that it's a good thing for Tianshenying to have an accident early?"

Bai Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It can't be said to be a good thing, but in a way it's not a bad thing either."

Yuki Yashahime said calmly, "It's like having a boil on your foot. Should you wait for it to break naturally and take a few days, or should you puncture it and apply medicine for a quick healing? Both options have their pros and cons, but no matter which one you choose, the best option is to get it under control."

When they were halfway through the journey, Baijie almost fainted because the wild boar shikigami controlled by Yaohuo was speeding too fast.

The two had to take a short break in the middle of the journey. He used this little time to contact Snow Yashahime again and ask for help from the lake owner.

"Honestly speaking... I don't have any good solutions for this situation."

The lake owner shook his head.

"However, I do have a suggestion. Let's go to Tenshin Sakura Mahoura's dream again and see if we can contact him and get some explanation from him... As the guardian deity, it's impossible for him to have no reaction at all."

"Before, we tried to contact it but failed."

"That must be because of 'Tsundere'."

"what?"

"Children are like that... If they haven't suffered any hardship, they think they can do anything on their own. But when they finally get hurt, they run back for help."

Snow Yashahime said with a giggle: "This stinky brat was so arrogant last time, now I don't believe it can still squeeze me out like last time——"

The Lord of the Lake exuded resentment. The corners of her mouth curled up in a smile, but her eyes were not smiling. Instead, they showed a cold look as if they were frozen.

Come to think of it, she had been completely shut out since she last entered Mahora's dream, so it was no wonder she was so angry.

"Then let's give it a try..."

Baijie tried to summon the "little tapir".

"sorry to bother you."

The dream-eating tapir that hatched from the stone egg he got from the lake owner's treasure house after dripping blood to recognize its master has grown a lot in recent times. It has become the size of a palm, chubby, and covered with furry fur.

"Puff puff……"

The little tapir exhaled heavily from its trunk, turned proudly in the air a few times, and then opened the road to another dream.

"It's convenient to have this little guy."

The lake owner also laughed. She clapped her hands, and with a crisp sound, the scenery in front of her shattered to the ground.

Baijie's vision began to blur, his eyelids began to twitch, and his vision was a bit like diving into water, and the scenery he saw began to melt.

Then, I don’t know how long it took, but he had to open his eyes, and the warm light shone into my eyes... It was so dazzling that I had to block the surrounding light with my hands.

After a moment, he lowered his hand, and distorted images filled his eyes.

"……how so?"

His tone was filled with disbelief.

Unlike the scenes I had seen before, what came into view were countless flying moths, moths as red as blood.

“…This is, Hong Tianyin!?”

The lake master, Snow Yashahime, who had transformed into a speck of light, also spoke in a surprised voice.

"Has its power eroded to this extent?"
