Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

"Really...but what is he doing standing there?"

After listening to Yakumo Yukari's advice, Saigyouji Yuyuko took a closer look.

I immediately realized that all the gods and generals were different from those before.

After all, although the other party was in front of the Westward Journey Demon, he did not show any behavior of paying homage, nor did he come any closer. He just stood there motionless.

"…………Preparation to fly into the sky?"

Yakumo Yukari seemed a little confused about this and answered very unconfidently.

"Eh? So you were eavesdropping. Eavesdropping is not a good behavior."

Hearing this, Saigyouji Yuyuko immediately realized that the guy in the gap must have been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Can this be called eavesdropping? I was listening openly, but you just didn't notice me."

"If you haven't been discovered, it's already considered eavesdropping!"

"No, no, that's because you're not good enough. It doesn't count."

"Of course I have to count it!"

"It's such a headache. It's rare to see someone as unreasonable as you. Aren't you afraid of me? I'm a monster."

Perhaps it was because Saigyouji Yuyuko was too persistent in pursuing the matter, which gave Yakumo Yukari a headache. She pointed to the gap where she was and made a threatening gesture to scare her.

"Whether it's human or youkai, isn't it the same? What's important is not the race, but the attitude towards people... Besides, death is equal to all lives, it's the same for all."

"I'm telling you, if you keep thinking like that, you'll suffer someday. Even if I'm gentle, I'm still a serious monster."

"So Zi, will you hurt me? Will you kill me just because I refute what you said?"

"Eh? That's not the case yet..."

Yuyuko Saigyouji's words made Yakumo Yukari stunned for a moment. No matter what, she would not hurt the other party just because of the conversation that was like a quarrel between elementary school students.

"That way it's all right. I have no reason to be afraid of you, right?"

"Are you a fool or a wise man? I don't understand... What's your name?"

"Youyouzi, Saigyouji Youyouzi."

"Saigyouji Yuyuko? Just remember it for now."

"Well, I'll remember you too, Yakumo Yukari who likes to eavesdrop."

"Wait a minute! Why are you still concerned about this? Shouldn't you just let it go like water at this time?!"

"But it is true that you eavesdropped."

"You deserve to be punished, look at my forehead attack!"

Yakumo Yukari bent her fingers, and a small gap appeared in front of her fingers and on Saigyouji Yuyuko's forehead.

The next moment, her fingertips fired, allowing her fingers to touch Saigyouji Yuyuko's smooth forehead, making a crisp sound.

Chapter 111 Habit

"It's been three days, and he's still standing there. How long will he stand there?"

"Didn't you ask him yesterday? What did he say?"

"He just said it would be soon, but......"

After that day, Yakumo Yukari and Saigyouji Yuyuko moved into an empty large house from which they could directly see Saigyouyou from the yard.

Sitting in the yard, looking at the generals and ministers in front of them who had been silent for three days, they discussed this matter.

This big house was located in a town not far from Journey to the West, but it was covered in dust and looked desolate and dilapidated, and it was obvious that no one had used it for many years.

This is normal, not only this big house, but all the houses in the whole town are like this.

This town is so close to the Journey to the West, and the townspeople here are obviously the first group to go there in search of the Journey to the West.

If you want to find the townspeople here, you probably can only dig in the soil under the Journey to the West tree and see if you can find a few unrotten bones of the townspeople.

“Youyouzi, do you feel that the land in front of the Journey to the West is a little redder than before?”

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

After hearing Yakumo Yukari's suggestion, Saigyouji Youyuko looked intently, carefully observing the land around the Saigyou monster, and then looked towards a place far away from the Saigyou monster.

Only then did I notice that, at some point, the land around the Westward Journey Demon had some subtle differences from the land far away.

It’s mainly the color of the land. Unconsciously, some obvious dark red has begun to appear.

Maybe it was because her attention was distracted, but she noticed that the pink cherry blossoms on the branches of the Westward Journey Demon tree seemed to have a similar dark red color.

"What on earth does he want to do?"

"Who knows, but can we really send the Journey to the West monster to heaven if we continue like this?"

"I don't understand... Hey, I came here just to call the Westward Journey Monster to join us, but I didn't expect him to stay so long."

"Call the Journey to the West monster to join your group? Wait a minute, do you think the Journey to the West monster is the kind of monster that would join your group?"

Yakumo Yukari's words surprised Saigyouji Yuuko, because Saigyou monsters are not the kind of monsters with intelligence and can move freely. She couldn't understand why Yakumo Yukari would have such an idea.

"After all, no one told me. I only knew that the Journey to the West monster was very strong, so I thought that if I called it, it would be able to provide more help. I didn't expect it to be this type of monster tree."

This was obviously the result of Yakumo Yukari not doing enough preparation beforehand. It was impossible for a Saigo demon to help a specific person.

"Help? Do you need help from others?"

Yuyuko Saigyouji noticed the key point in the other party's words.

Since Yakumo Yukari needs help, it means there must be something that she can't do alone and needs help.

"There are some things that need help, but this has nothing to do with you. Don't forget that we have only known each other for three days."

"Only three days? It seems like that is true... But I don't know why, but I always feel like I can become good friends with Zi."

"It's a thousand years too early for a mere human to become my friend!"

Yakumo Yukari's eyebrows jumped at Saigyouji Yuuko's words. Looking at the smiling pink-haired girl in front of her, she stretched out her arm and messed up the other person's neatly combed hair.

"Woohoo, don't mess up my hair. I spent a lot of time fixing it this morning."

This messy hair attack made Yuyuko Saigyouji panic. She covered her head and tried to stop Yakumo Yukari's evil hands.

“Gu———”

At this moment, Yuyuko Saigyouji's stomach made a sound indicating hunger, stopping Yakumo Yukari's actions.

"Wait a minute, didn't I bring a lot of food yesterday? Didn't you eat it?"

The meaning of this voice made Yakumo Yukari frown.

Because she used her time to bring food to Saigyouji Yuyuko.

The sound made by Yuyuko Saigyouji was unusual, obviously not the same hunger as today.

"I ate it, of course I ate it!"

"Do not tell a lie."

“…………I just left a little bit.”

"Really just a little?"

Yuyuko Saigyouji's words made Yakumo Yukari sigh. She could understand why the other party did that.

On the way to pursue the Journey to the West monster, because it is not easy to replenish supplies, Youyouko of Saigyouji seems to have developed a habit of saving food.

She would only eat enough food to keep herself alive at any one time, and save the rest for the future.

If you think about it, this is not a wrong decision, or it is reasonable when food is limited.

The problem is that she gets hungry very easily, and normally needs to eat frequently to offset this hunger.

But she always endured and used her willpower to resist the hunger that ordinary people could hardly resist.

Although the will can endure hunger, the body cannot. It will use its own way to remind the brain that there is not enough nutrition and that it needs to eat.

"Humans can die very easily. If you don't eat well, you might just die tomorrow, not to mention becoming my friend."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"I hope you really understand... eh?"

While the two were chatting, the generals and ministers not far away suddenly made new moves.

This made Yakumo Yukari wonder and shift her attention.

I saw that for some unknown reason, the general of the gods suddenly stabbed his hand into the ground, and most of his arm remained stiff on the ground and could no longer move.

"What is he going to do now?"

"Who knows? Youyouzi, go over and ask."

“…………By the way, Zi, why do you keep calling me over to ask? It would be much faster if you go by yourself.”

"I have my own reasons. Anyway, just ignore it and don't tell him I'm here and ask him what he's doing."

Seeing that Yakumo Yukari didn't want to go over and face Kaishin Shōomi in person, Saigyouji Yuyuko reluctantly prepared to go over.

But before he walked over, he suddenly spoke as if he had thought of something.

"If you need help with something, instead of looking for the impossible Westward Journey Monster, why not ask him directly? He gives me a similar feeling to Zi. If you two have a good talk, he should be able to help you."

"Let me think about this. By the way, eat this first and quiet down the noise in your stomach."

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari took out a string of dumplings from the gap and stuffed it into Saigyouji Yuyuko's mouth.

Although she complained, she still swallowed the dumplings obediently under the gaze of Yakumo Yukari.

However, in this short period of time, the land before our eyes has undergone amazing changes.

There were some bulge-like things rising up on the originally flat land. The roots that looked like tree roots or human limbs broke out of the raised land and soon filled the originally flat surface.

This made Yuyuko Saigyouji stop her steps as she was about to leave.

Chapter 112: The Journey to the West, start!

"Is this the root system of the Journey to the West monster? But why did it suddenly......"

"Look carefully, they are pushed up by something."

"Was it that person's doing?"

If you observe carefully, you will find that the roots of the Journey to the West monster underground did not come up voluntarily.

Underground, there is something that has not yet been unearthed, constantly wriggling, forcibly driving the part belonging to the Journey to the West out of the ground.

At the same time, something similar to blood gushed out from the ground, and together with the things underground, it pushed the roots of the Journey to the West monster off the ground.

[Boom~~Boom~~~][Boom~~Boom~~~]

Although the two were quite a distance away from the Westward Journey Demon, such extensive activities beneath the surface had already affected them.

There was a very strange sound coming from underground, and the ground was shaking continuously as if there was an earthquake.

"It's almost time."

The generals and ministers of all gods, who were standing not far in front of the Westward Journey Demon, were feeling the part that was touched underground and judged that the time had come.

These days, what he did was actually very simple, which was to control the flow of his blood around the roots of the Westward Journey Demon.

The entire underground area, except for the part belonging to the Westward Journey Monster, was solidified by his blood.

Today, when he was sure that there was no omission and all areas of the Journey to the West Demon Underground had been covered.

Just like he had done before, he stretched his bones deep into the ground, and using the blood as coordinates, he pulled all of the underground roots of the Westward Journey Monster out to the surface.

As for the characteristic of the Journey to the West monster that anyone touched would die, the gods and generals could not feel it at all.

This may be attributed to the 'digestive' function of his system.

But to be honest, with the current life of General Jie Shen, he estimated that he would probably be able to resist the temptation of death without relying on the system's "digestion" function.

Going a little deeper, he even suspected that if he did not resist at all, the Journey to the West Demon would not be able to turn his body into a dead state.

After all, his life now exceeds that of ordinary people by far.
