Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"Aren't you afraid of being killed by her?"

"Don't worry, at least she won't attack me by surprise. Besides, isn't Immortal Fu Hua here?"

Jiang Ming looked at Fu Hua with a smile.

"..."

“Well, the strong collapse that I originally sensed did not come from her, but if one day she cannot control the disaster in her body, I will kill her.”

"Hmph, the strongest man in Shenzhou? I would also like to fight him."

No, you will be killed instantly...

"Fu Hua, what is the collapse you sensed?"

"I originally thought that the collapse of Mei Beichen was the origin of the disaster in Japan, but now it seems that this is not the case. There is something else that caused the disaster."

"..."

"system?"

"Ding! That's right, it's the strong Houkai energy and hatred towards humans emitted by the Herrscher of the previous civilization."

"Phew~ I was scared to death. I thought it would be like what happened in Europe."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ding! How could that be? Even if it is, the host can't defeat it."

"..."

Fu Hua continued.

"The Houkai aura I felt from Shenzhou is much greater than the one on Beichen Meiyi. Perhaps the Houkai on her body was infected from there. What I am looking for now is the source of this Houkai."

Hehe, with Fu Hua here, isn't it no problem to deal with a small Ruler of Erosion?

"Infection? Do you mean something like a disease? I don't remember ever having such a disease."

"So what profound and strange things have you encountered during your travels?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"For me, traveling is nothing more than killing and being killed. As for strange things... I have some impression of the 'Umbrella Demon Qianying' I met a few days ago."

"Umbrella demon?"

"That happened when I was traveling in the Tōkaidō area. Passing by Mikawa, I met a pair of sisters who were demon sealers. I helped them get rid of an umbrella demon named 'Thousand Shadows'. Unfortunately, although the umbrella demon died, the two sisters did not survive."

"I wonder if this matter is related to the collapse?"

"It is still uncertain at this point, but ghosts and monsters are often related to the collapse in Shenzhou, so this incident is probably also closely related."

"Um...how about we get out of here first?"

Jiang Ming suggested.

"Well, that's fine too."

"Okay, then let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, a fox jumped out.

“Nothing, nothing, nothing.”

"Is this... a fox?"

“Nothing, nothing, nothing.”

"Wow~ I'm lucky. Looks like I can eat meat tonight."

After saying that, Beichen Mei wanted to catch the white fox.

"Wait! It has a ribbon tied around its body. Could it be a captive? This means there must be someone living here."

“Empty, empty, empty!”

"This white fox seems to want to convey something to us."

Fu Hua speculated.

"As expected of an immortal, you can even understand what animals say?"

Mei Beichen exclaimed in admiration.

"No, that's impossible no matter how you think about it."

"Foxes have been psychic since ancient times, let alone the rare white fox."

"..."

"Empty!"

The white fox made two sounds and ran in one direction.

"Ah! He ran away! I can't let you get away with the dinner I got!"

Beichen Mei chased in the direction of the white fox.

"Let's go, let's follow."

"...I always feel like something bad is going to happen."

Chapter 30 Shiyin

Jiang Ming and the other two ran towards the white fox.

"The mountain road ahead should be the road leading to the shrine. I didn't expect there would be such a place in the deep mountains. It seems that the Immortal Master can sleep well under the eaves tonight~"

Mei Beichen teased.

"No, actually..."

Jiang Ming was about to say something.

"A shrine... is it a place similar to a Taoist temple? It seems that there are people with faith in Japan. In this chaotic world, only places like this can calm people down and put aside their impetuous thoughts."

Fu Hua sighed.

"Haha, speaking of people of faith, isn't there a 'god' next to them?"

Beichen Mei looked at Jiang Mingdao.

"...I've already said that it's just an empty title."

"Oh? Where does Mr. Jiang Ming get the title of God?"

Fu Hua became interested.

"It's just some small tricks to help a village bring rain, cure diseases, and fight the so-called monsters."

Jiang Ming tried to fool him.

"..."

'It doesn't seem like he's lying, but...how on earth did he do that?'

While Fu Hua was still in deep thought, Beichen Meiyi suddenly reminded her.

"Be careful, there's a smell of blood in the air."

"you mean......"

"ah--!!!!!!"

Before Fu Hua could ask, a scream was heard.

"This sound... came from the direction of the shrine! As expected, the fox is seeking our help."

Fu Hua quickened her pace.

"Hey! Wait! What's wrong with her?"

Beichen Meiyi asked in confusion.

"There's nothing we can do. She's just a pushover. Just follow her."

Jiang Ming followed closely behind Fu Hua.

"Tsk, what a kind-hearted immortal... If this continues, won't I have to do good deeds like her? Should I find a chance to kill her?"

"Hello~"

Before Beichen Meiyi could finish her words, Jiang Ming interrupted her somewhat dangerous thoughts.

"Huh, is she really that strong?"

Mei Beichen still didn't quite believe it.

"Hey, if she really wanted to kill both of us, it would be as easy as eating and drinking water."

Jiang Ming couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Putting aside all unstable factors, she is currently the strongest in the world."

"But if I want to escape from her, I am quite confident."

"Wow? That's really interesting. I really want to fight him more and more, even if it costs me my life."

"...I won't let you die."

Jiang Ming said with a serious expression.

"...Humph, you're a weirdo too."

Beichen Mei curled her lips.

Nonsense, if you lose it, then things will get serious.

Jiang Ming broke out in a cold sweat.

Unknown Shrine

A group of robbers stood in front of a little girl.

"Little girl...hand over the food! Otherwise we will not be polite!"

The robber threatened the little girl.

"These are offerings to the gods!"

The little girl stood in front of the robber.

"God?...Hahaha, that's hilarious. In this chaotic world, how can there be any gods? You can only survive by relying on your own strength!"

The robbers laughed

"It is precisely because of this chaotic world that I want to protect this last pure land. No matter what happens, Shion will not let you set foot in the shrine!"

"Oh, you forced us to do this, come on!"

"Click."

The robber slashed Shiyin with a knife.

"what!!!"

Shiyin fell to the ground helplessly.

"Quick, move everything out of here."

The bandit leader gave orders to his men.

"Stop... I won't let you succeed, God, please help Shion..."

"Master the Five Thunders."

Three bolts of lightning struck the robber.

"Wow, what is this?!"

"Why is there a sudden thunder?!"

“Ah!… God!”

Shion thought that the gods had responded to her prayers.
