Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

She landed on another rock, and as she answered, she drew her bow taut once more.

This time, what was nocked on the bowstring was not an ordinary arrow, but an arrow made of vines.

The moment the vine arrow was released from the bow, the vines of the entire hill seemed to be awakened, with countless roots breaking through the ground and piercing towards Yuuki from all directions.

The arrow itself also split continuously during its flight, one becoming three, three becoming nine, and finally turning into a rain of arrows, which, together with the vines on the ground, formed an inescapable killing formation.

"Boring."

Yu Xing's voice rang out amidst the rain of arrows, calmer than someone being besieged.

The next second, black flames exploded.

A black pillar of fire shot into the sky from Yuuki's center, engulfing the thorny vines, the arrows, and all the plants within dozens of meters around him.

Then, a large hand reached out from the pillar of fire and instantly grabbed number 44, who was trying to dodge.

"Go to hell."

Black flames engulfed Number 44's entire body, and as she lay dying, a strange smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

“We will not die. I will find you again next time, Haruno Yuuki.”

Yu Xing's eyes also flashed red, and his words were filled with a hint of violence: "Come on, I'll kill you every time I see you."

……

By the time Guihu and his group arrived, it was all over.

Yu Xing knelt on the ground, his face a mixture of red and blue, looking strangely ferocious.

"Mr. Yuyuki!"

Kouta rushed forward the fastest, but Yuuki raised his hand to stop him: "Don't come any closer."

Overusing the power of the black flames caused the two gauges inside his body to go berserk again. The intense pain made him sweat profusely and his body tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, absolutely no one can approach him, otherwise the two forces within him may become even more frenzied upon sensing the approach of another being.

As the main battlefield where the two sides fought, Yuuki did not come away empty-handed.

During the constant battle, he could sense that traces of power from the Kuuga Watch and the Another Kuuga were being absorbed by his body.

However, at this rate, it would take him at least several hundred years to fully absorb it, which he doesn't have the time for.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Yuuki's complexion returned to normal. Kouta was the first to rush forward and support Yuuki, followed closely by the other two.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

The pain came and went quickly, and Yuuki soon returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

He waved his hand, and the grass wrapped around his arm.

"Now that things are settled here, we should move on. If we delay any longer, that guy Ling Ma might do something big."

The other three were still a little worried, but Yuxing had already followed Xiaocao forward on her own.

The others could only suppress their worries and continue forward with Yuuki.

Chapter 103 Obstacles

The grass leads the way, and the vines weave through the sea of ​​trees, moving at a slow pace.

Yuuki was in front, its wings cutting through the air with a sharp, piercing sound.

Guihu and the other two stayed close to him, diverting some of their attention to talk to Youxing about what had just happened.

"It's unbelievable that the Gurongi can actually consume the fruits of Helheim."

Kouta was genuinely surprised. He had never seen a Grongi before, let alone one who had eaten the Helheim Fruit.

“A long time ago, Yuuki, Rin, and I had guessed that this was actually something that a Grongi could do.”

Yuuki had read the Grongi's information in 00 and knew that Number 44's abilities had changed drastically compared to the original.

Its javelins were replaced with giant arrows, but their power was not reduced in the slightest; on the contrary, they became even more terrifying.

If the other weirdos also experienced this change, Yuuki felt that their pressure might be much greater.

After all, those monsters who break free from the seal cannot die; the fact that they can resurrect infinitely based on their memories alone is enough to keep countless people in limbo.

Their energy is ultimately limited.

"This situation is unlikely to be common."

Eiji has traveled to most parts of the world, and based on his experience, he thinks this must be a very difficult thing to do.

"Otherwise, we might see a lot of weirdos who eat the fruits. These guys never care about the consequences in order to become stronger."

"That's good."

Eiji's words relieved Kouta, but Yuuki shook his head and said something that made Kouta's heart jump into his throat again.

"In fact, when one of them appears, it means that they have mastered this way of becoming stronger."

Yu Xing didn't stop; in fact, she sped up even more, her words stretching out in the air.

"They can resurrect indefinitely. Even if they die in this experiment, they can come back for another one."

Yu Xing's words sent chills down Gui Hu's spine. They stopped abruptly and exchanged glances.

Given this trend, is it still possible for them to win?

Seeing that the three hadn't followed, Yuuki turned back. When the others looked at her, Yuuki's figure with her wings spread was enormous.

Black lines still remained on his wings, while a touch of emerald green hung beside him, and his face showed no fear.

"Don't worry, they can't cause any trouble. Even if they take the fruits, it doesn't matter. They are no match for me."

"They are getting stronger, and so am I. They can't get stronger as fast as I can."

Yuuki's confidence was infectious, making them all laugh.

"When it comes to confidence, we still have to look to our Yu Xing. Don't let him get beaten up and start yelling in pain."

Guihu joked.

Yu Xing glared at him and clenched her fist: "I don't know what will happen then, but right now I can beat you until you scream in pain."

After saying that, he rushed towards Guihu. When Guihu saw Youxing rushing towards him, he slipped away as fast as he could.

After playing around for a while, the group continued on their way.

After a quarter of an hour's run, the four finally arrived at their destination, a place far beyond their previous explorations, a place never before set foot in.

The grass clung to Youxing's arm, the ends of the vines pointing straight to the left front.

A valley shrouded in thick fog suddenly appeared before them. They stood at the edge of the valley, not venturing in rashly.

"It should be inside."

“The little grass’s guidance is always right,” Yuuki said.

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps echoed through the fog.

Thick fog billowed as a large number of Shocker combatants emerged from it, along with several Devouring Monsters.

"Why are it these guys?"

Guihu was having a bit of a headache. The combatants weren't strong, but they were just too difficult to deal with.

"He's just stalling for time. It seems he's already made a deal with those weirdos."

Yu Xing casually explained, then took a step forward, black flames dripping from the corners of his eyes and spreading into a sea of ​​fire at his feet.

Caught off guard, the combatants plunged headlong into the boundless black sea. In this vast black ocean, they were scorched by flames and rolled to the ground, screaming in agony.

"Using your powers like that, you're courting death!"

Knowing that Yuuki's health had been poor since his return, Guihu grabbed Yuuki and interrupted his movements.

Yuuki gave Guihu a look, indicating that he could rest assured.

"I have my measure."

But Yuuki never believed Takato's nonsense: "Only those who have no sense of propriety would claim to have one."

Left with no other choice, Yuuki had to suppress his abilities.

Under this wave of scorching heat, almost all the combatants were killed, with only the survivors constantly patting the flames off their bodies, while the few Devouring Monsters had long been pinned down and beaten by Eiji.

"We'll handle the rest. You can go now."

Guihu and Kuzuha Kouta stepped forward and blocked the combatants, leaving Yuuki a passage leading deep into the valley.

Yu Xing rushed in quickly and disappeared from Gui Hu and the others' sight.

The remaining monsters were quickly dealt with by the three of them. Without much hesitation, they turned and entered the valley to search for Youxing.

Inside the valley, thick fog severely obstructed Yuuki's vision. Knowing that this was also one of Sengoku Ryoma's delaying tactics, Yuuki was slightly annoyed.

The more preparations are made in advance, the more it proves that what Sengoku Ryoma is researching is extraordinary.

With this in mind, Yuuki no longer cared about her body and decided to forcefully unleash her abilities.

Black flames seeped from his entire body, and every drop that fell to the ground spread out and turned into a vast sea of ​​fire.

As Yuuki intensified his efforts, cracks began to appear on his face, with rolling black flames emanating from the cracks.

The powers of Kuuga and Another Kuuga also raged within Yuuki's body, almost tearing him to shreds.

Under such intense use, the sea of ​​fire quickly filled the entire valley. Relying on his senses, Yuuki quickly located the position of Sengoku Ryoma.

He flashed and quickly headed in that direction.

Meanwhile, Guihu and the others, who had entered the valley, discovered a sea of ​​fire spreading outwards.

"That guy's causing trouble again!"

Guihu was somewhat angry, but the sea of ​​fire in front of them quickly parted in the eyes of the three of them, forming a passage.

"It's Yuuki's guidance, let's hurry and follow."

There was no time for Guihu to blame Youxing, and the three of them continued to venture deeper into the valley.

Meanwhile, Yuuki had already arrived in the center of the valley.
