Great, we're doomed now!

The worm, about to bite its prey, suddenly paused, and fine wrinkles appeared on its tough skin.

In that instant of vulnerability, Ye Shou feigned drawing his sword, the force of his waist twisting and combining with his arm strength, ultimately driving his wrist and even his fingertips, making the slender blade seem like an extension of his body—

laugh!

A crimson streak flashed, and the half-meter-long head fell off smoothly.

The two body parts struggled frantically, with the head opening its mouth to the extreme, frantically biting at the surrounding air.

The thermal blade pinned its head shut from top to bottom, finally calming it down!

At the same time, the headless insect broke free of its restraints, and its remaining body lashed out like a whip, but in the end it was all in vain, and it lay limp on the ground, gradually losing its vitality.

One by one, the "clamps" with countless tiny barbs fell off from all sides, and the supramolecular threads also loosened.

If you look closely, you'll find that if these clips are arranged closely together and the blades are retracted, they will become the pair of raised wrist guards on Ye Shou's hand!

"Silk" was originally a very niche weapon, but with the [God's Left Hand] buff, he manipulated supramolecular threads with the ease of Walter the Grim Reaper.

"..."

Looking at the insect corpses, Ye Shou was still not at ease, so each of them used their thermal blades to send out a burst of demon-repelling spiritual energy before finally stopping.

boom!

At that very moment, the entire "cave" began to tilt, and Ye Shou was suddenly "pressed" against the top of the cave.

rumbling...

In the blink of an eye, it had covered a height of forty or fifty meters, and the huge raccoon's body fell backward like a cheap roly-poly toy, never to rise again.

"...Is it over?"

Obik, covered in burns, stared in disbelief at the fallen raccoon. After a moment of hesitation, he rushed over anxiously, but he had no idea what to do with the bloody hole and could only watch helplessly.

"Brother! Brother Ye Shou!?"

"Hey~~~ Is anyone inside?"

boom!

In a flash of lightning and smoke, Obik shrank rapidly, still resembling a bald old man, and stood at the cave entrance peering inside.

suddenly!

A bloody hand gripped the edge!

Chapter 111 has arrived: Arcane Black Technology!

Leos might want to eat this stuff.

When Ye Shou crawled out, he brought the half-insect corpse with him. He originally planned to take it back for scientists to study, but this thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

Whether it's a parasite or something else, Leos would definitely be interested in such a novel (and disgusting) creature, right?

Shaking his head and putting aside the bad thoughts, Ye Shou took out his phone from his private space and dialed Liu Li's number.

"Lord Ye Shou!"

The girl on the other end of the phone asked in surprise, "We saw those two monsters fall down, are you alright now?"

"It's okay, I'll be right back."

The giant raccoon fainted after that, its heartbeat became very weak, and its huge, obese body shrank rapidly as if deflated, but it still maintained a height of about fourteen or fifteen meters. When Ye Shou stepped on it, it felt like a stranded whale.

"How is the situation in town now?"

"It's still very chaotic. Most of the people who could run away have already done so. Some police officers have come to maintain order, but they don't dare to go into the mountains."

"What about the Self-Defense Forces?"

"There's been no movement, so they probably won't be here for another half hour—after all, it's a day off today," Liuli added. "But some local reporters have already gone there, Lord Ye Shou..."

"I understand. Send Jianzi and the others back first and tell them not to worry. You take some people and wait for me at the station."

Ye Shou hung up the phone, thought for a moment, turned to Obik and said, "The reporters are coming, and it's not convenient for me to be seen. I have to leave soon. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Oh... huh?"

Obik was examining the large hole in the chest with a curious yet disgusted expression when he heard this. He looked up and said, "No need, no need. Leave the rest to me. This old guy deserved to be beaten up, but he shouldn't die."

"Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone took a picture of you?"

"Don't worry, the old raccoon's descendants won't let humans into this place."

Obik stood on high ground and looked around. Suddenly, he swung his short stick and unleashed a bolt of lightning that struck the ground, bursting into a dazzling burst of fire.

"You little brats, you've finished fighting, aren't you going to clean up this mess?"

boom!

boom!

boom!

"Thank you, Young Master Yan~"

"Waaah, thank you~"

Humans, my good friends!

"good friend!"

"Thank you!"

From underground, from stones, from books, all sorts of raccoons emerged from the smoke, chattering and expressing their gratitude. Finally, led by a large raccoon that had transformed into a monk, everyone followed the Buddhist practice of pressing their palms together and bowing deeply to Ye Shou and Obik.

"Thank you, bro~" Obik scratched his bald head and bowed slightly.

"I really don't know how to stop this bastard on my own."

"I've said it before, I love this place too, so how can I just stand by and watch it turn into ruins?"

Ye Shou deliberately didn't use healing magic on himself; only the transition effect repaired some of his external injuries. Overall, he still looked quite disheveled, especially with many burns scabbed over, which made Obik feel guilty.

"If that old guy comes back to life, I'll make him come and apologize to you!"

"It's not that serious, just a minor injury."

Ye Shou waved his hand, his expression turning serious: "But why did it turn out like this? I think it must be related to that factory. I will investigate and find out the truth, and give this destroyed forest an explanation."

Obik leaned back slightly, his gaze towards Ye Shou filled with respect—he never imagined there was such a human in the world, who would take on responsibility even when it wasn't his own. Even a great monk wouldn't be more virtuous than that.

"Okay, I understand." Young Master Ayan nodded earnestly.

Now, he was even more convinced that Ye Shou's earlier statement about "World Cultural Heritage" was no exaggeration!

At the same time, Ye Shou felt a connection being established between himself and Obik.

Because it is not a pure spirit like Nishikida Keiryu, it is impossible to summon it directly. However, since it is a yokai with strong spiritual power, it is easy to borrow some of its power in a way similar to a séance.

Upon thinking of this, a certain string in Ye Shoucang's heart immediately loosened:

Even if Ryomen Sukuna were to revive now, with the help of Obik and Nishikida Keiryu, plus some technological assistance, he should still be able to handle it.

"quick!"

"Our benefactor, we've brought it back!"

A commotion arose from the woods, and a group of raccoons escorted a large cat that looked like a black bear as they approached. Little Black seemed to be injured, and several smaller raccoons wrapped several layers of bandages around its head, though it didn't seem to hinder its movement.

"Meow~" The big cat looked up at Ye Shou and sat down.

"Ok?"

"It said it would stay here until its wounds healed before going back, so that its mother-in-law wouldn't be sad if she saw it."

Obik kindly translated and comforted Ye Shoudao, "Don't worry, it's just a superficial wound. These raccoons are quite skilled at medicine. Just apply some saliva and it'll be fine in a couple of days."

Wipe some saliva on it?

Ye Shou glanced at the bandages with a strange expression, wondering how the raccoon cats prepared the medicine, but he wisely refrained from asking.

The big cat didn't seem to care, letting the raccoons do as they pleased, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"By the way, do you want to take some ointment back with you? This burn looks pretty serious."

"No need, thank you, I don't have time!"

Ye Shou nodded to Xiao Hei, indicating, "I will take good care of Grandma."

Having said that, he dared not linger, packed up the insect corpse, and jumped off the giant raccoon.

At this moment, the sound of the propellers grew clearer and clearer, and Ye Shou quickly left, escorted by a group of tanuki monsters.

Obik watched his retreating figure and slowly nodded:

This is a young man with a chivalrous spirit!

-

When Liuli picked up Ye Shou from the helicopter, his injuries had already been completely healed by the combined healing of his talent and magic. However, his tattered clothes and the stench emanating from him were enough to prove the danger Ye Shou had gone through.

"Miss Yotsuya, Miss Fujiwara, and the two elderly people have been safely returned to the Yotsuya family home," Ruri reported to Ye Shou in a very formal tone. "We have also sent people to check the security cameras in the streets and shops to ensure that reporters or the police will not see any footage related to you."

"Well done. Next, inform the waste treatment plant to maintain the status quo and not allow personnel to enter or leave. I'll be going to inspect it later."

"Ok."

As Liuli spoke, she handed over clean clothes, while a bodyguard carrying toiletries led Ye Shou into the bathhouse—after learning about Ye Shou's current situation from the pilot, Liuli directly decided to land here.

The maid quietly stood guard in the changing room. Ye Shou, however, had no interest in enjoying himself. He quickly washed up, changed into new clothes, and came out.

Liuli naturally stepped forward, tied Ye Shou's tie, and straightened his clothes.

"..."

Both of them remained silent.

The girl leaned against the man's chest, listening quietly to the heartbeat coming from inside. Her fingers tightened involuntarily, and she pursed her lips tightly, as if she was enduring something.

After a long while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised her face, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wrinkled it for you."

"No...it's all thanks to you," Ye Shou said with utmost sincerity.

Dressed neatly, Ye Shou walked outside, leaving the maid behind him with a hint of worry and helplessness in her eyes.

She was willing to share all of Ye Shou's troubles, but she had to admit that human strength has its limits, and she couldn't keep up with her master's pace.
