Why is my anime art style so weird?

Lian looked at her clan leader with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why the clan leader would lower himself to beg an outsider.

The Snow Woman Clan Chief completely ignored this simpleton, remaining motionless in her dogeza posture.

Xu Ming was, after all, a Chinese citizen. The fact that the other party was kneeling before him, and that although she looked like an adorable little girl, she was probably older than his great-great-grandmother, made him very uncomfortable, and he involuntarily shifted his body.

"Haven't we already wiped out the enemy? Why do you say that?"

Xu Mingming asked the question knowing the answer already, attempting to change the subject.

The Snow Maiden chieftain raised her head and looked at Xu Ming with a serious expression.

“We just let a few enemies escape. Based on my understanding of General Yan, he will definitely send troops to retaliate. Even if he doesn’t come in person, he will send two of his generals with a large army.”

General Yan Tou has five hundred celestial dogs and twenty one-eyed giants under his command.

As you can see, there are no more than a hundred snow women in our village, and no more than fifty of them are capable of fighting.

Even if he only sends half his forces, we are no match for him.

Xu Ming nodded. Before entering the village, he had roughly counted the number of snow women in the entire village, including the young snow woman lolis, and found that there were indeed fewer than a hundred.

Most of them are at Soul Level 2, a few at Soul Level 3, and only the clan leader has Level 4 strength.

If General Yantou really has as many soldiers under his command as she claims, then Yuki-onna Village is indeed no match for him.

The annihilation of the village is imminent.

"But why should I help you?"

Xu Ming spread his hands.

"You! If you hadn't entered the snowfield without permission and attacked General Yantou's envoy, how could our village have faced such a great crisis!?"

Lian immediately pointed at Xu Ming with a face full of anger.

Xu Ming remained calm in the face of his accusations.

He admitted that he had entered the snowfield without permission, but he did not think he was wrong. This was not private property. The road was here, so why shouldn't people walk on it?

As for launching the attack first, let's not even mention that the other party provoked us first. Isn't it only natural for humans to kill monsters?

Xu Ming felt that he and this husky were the same kind of people, and there was nothing to talk about.

The atmosphere was getting a little tense.

"Lian, shut up!"

The Snow Maiden clan chief rebuked her directly.

"But……"

Lian wanted to say something, but was silenced by the Snow Maiden Clan Chief's sharp gaze. She pouted and glared angrily at Xu Ming.

The Snow Maiden Clan Chief looked at Xu Ming again.

"If you can help us resolve this calamity that will wipe out our clan, I will offer you the Snow Maiden clan's treasure, the 'Ice Crystal Flower,' with both hands."

"Chief! That treasure is...!"

Lian sat up straight in shock, about to speak, but was immediately glared at by the clan leader.

"The Ice Crystal Flower is a special treasure that can purify the Snow Maiden's bloodline and unleash the power hidden within it."

If I am not mistaken, one of your shikigami is Yuki-onna, but her bloodline is mixed and impure.

If the Ice Crystal Flower were to enhance her bloodline, her power and potential would reach a new level.

Xu Ming sat cross-legged on the straw mat, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knees.

It must be said that the other party's compensation was quite attractive.

But for Xu Ming, there was something else he was more concerned about.

Based on what he knew, there was no doubt that the so-called Flame-Headed General was the strongest monster in Monster Mountain, so its demonic energy level must also be the highest.

However, killing it is not easy. The castle, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, along with its numerous subordinates, makes it much more difficult to kill General Yantou.

But now, the situation in Snow Maiden Village suddenly made Xu Ming see another possibility.

Lure the enemy deep into our territory, then divide and conquer them.

By using Yuki-onna Village as bait to lure some enemy troops and annihilate them, the number of guards in Tenshukaku will be greatly reduced, making it much easier to kill the Great Tengu.

With the added bonus of a treasure that enhances Erina's strength, this deal is definitely worthwhile.

Xu Ming's eyes flickered as he stared intently at the Snow Maiden Clan Chief.

Are you sure they won't send out their entire force?

The Snow Maiden Clan Chief nodded decisively.

I'm sure!

General Yantou was not a wise ruler. He had a violent temper, did not regard his subordinates as monsters, and beat and scolded them at will. He also slaughtered monsters other than Tengu indiscriminately. All the monsters on Monster Mountain dared not speak out against him.

Once General Yantou mobilizes his entire army, monsters will surely launch a sneak attack on the castle tower.

Therefore, General Yan would absolutely not dare to send out all his subordinates.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and then made a request.

"If I find that the enemy's strength exceeds my capabilities, I will leave at any time."

"Of course, we will evacuate on our own when the time comes."

The Snow Maiden Chieftain answered decisively.

Xu Ming seemed to have no reason to refuse.

"Then... it's a deal."

The two exchanged a glance and smiled, revealing the satisfaction of having successfully completed a shady deal.

Old fox!

You little rascal!

Meanwhile, at the top of Yokai Mountain, several tengu stumbled and flew into the castle tower atop the mountain.

A moment later, accompanied by a roar, several mutilated corpses were thrown off the watchtower.

About half an hour later, the gates of the castle tower slowly opened, and an army of about 300 monsters walked out of the castle.

The two leading monsters walked side by side.

One of them was a giant wearing metal samurai armor.

Standing over 5 meters tall, it wields a massive axe, resembling a Cyclops from a fantasy story. Its enormous fangs protrude from its mouth, making its gaping maw impossible to close, giving it an incredibly imposing and ferocious appearance.

The other monster looks like a giant spider.

Its head had the upper body of a woman, and even more terrifyingly, this woman had eight eyes on her face and four pairs of spider-like tentacles extending from her back, which was extremely disgusting.

The army marched out of the city gates in a grand procession, crossed the drawbridge in front of the castle tower, and quickly disappeared without a trace...

Chapter 312 Enemy Attack

Xu Ming was resting in the ice house that the clan chief had arranged for him.

dong dong!

Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door.

After Erina opened the door, an unexpected figure appeared outside.

It turns out to be that naive and innocent girl.

A playful smile appeared on Xu Ming's face.

"This is truly a rare guest!"

The naive and innocent girl fidgeted with her fingers and whispered:

"I'm here to apologize."

Xu Ming thought for a moment, then suddenly said something.

"Did your clan chief send you?"

The naive and innocent girl stared at him in shock.

"How...how did you know?"

Xu Ming sighed.

He had only guessed at first, but now this naive girl had confirmed it with her own words.

"I accept your apology. You can leave now."

Xu Ming waved his hand and sat down to rest and recuperate. He had another tough battle to fight, and it was a war he had never encountered before.

The naive and innocent girl immediately panicked upon hearing this.

"no!"

Xu Ming glared at her.

Are you here to apologize, or to cause trouble?

The naive girl clutched the corner of her clothes, bit her lip, and then suddenly knelt down, performing a full-body kowtow to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was startled.

Wow! Your tiger landing technique must be a family heirloom, right? The movements are so perfect! It's practically impossible to defend against!

"Please help us! This is our home, and we really don't want to leave!"

The naive and innocent girl buried her head in the back of her hand and said loudly.

Xu Ming couldn't stand their behavior of kneeling down at the drop of a hat, and his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

"Get up first and speak properly."

The naive girl then slowly sat up straight and explained the whole story.

"...General Yantou would always summon our clansmen to the castle tower to serve as geishas, ​​singing and dancing for him."

However, General Yantou is short-tempered and capricious, and he likes to devour the hearts of human girls. Our Snow Maiden clan happens to resemble human girls in appearance.
