Chapter 733: Eight Hundred and Eight Raccoons
The cat shopkeeper and his party left Iyo Mountain and planned to return to Oeyama Castle first.

The Traveling Cat Team went on a long journey and because they were accompanied by two kings of the ghost tribe, they did not encounter any obstacles on the way to Iyo.

Logically, the return trip should also be smooth sailing.

There are two wild gods traveling around the world. Any wild ghosts with a little wisdom are unwilling to get close to them and cause bad luck.

However, just as Mao Mao and his group were about to leave Iyo Mountain.

"Abba whining!"

The little old man's body suddenly gave a warning.

At almost the same time, a strange thick fog spread ahead on the road.

dong dong!dong dong!
From within the milky white mist, there was a sound similar to that of a taiko drum.

The drum beats are dull and distant, and each one is like a heavy hammer falling on a hard stone slab.

Soon, some silhouettes appeared in the mist and slowly approached. There were many silhouettes looming in the mist, and it seemed that they were also a team acting in coordination. And in the team coming towards us, we could see——

Leading the group was a majestic, proud big cat, striding ahead with its head held high.

Behind the big cat, there was a female ghost with eyes on her head and a small beast with a vague outline floating.

Further back, there is a huge demon car.

It looks like an oxcart, but there is no animal pulling the cart in the front. Instead, there is a large female face with curly hair, wide-open eyes, a gaping mouth, and an expression of despair.

Several large red paper lanterns were hung on the demon carriage, swaying in the wind. The flickering red light was refracted and diffused by the tiny mist and water droplets around it, making it hazy, like countless scarlet eyes peering in the dark.

The demon car rumbled up and down in the thick fog, the wooden body made a harsh "squeak" sound, and rolled over the road with great momentum.

On both sides of the vehicle were burly soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sophisticated weapons, lined up in a row and marching forward in an orderly and powerful manner.

On both sides of the soldiers guarding the demon car, there was a guard who was obviously the leader. One was burly and strong, and the other was charming and enchanting...

"Meow?"

After roughly seeing the outlines appearing in the fog opposite, the cat shopkeeper sat down on the spot and tilted his head in confusion.

Although each figure of the oncoming team was obscured by the thick fog and could not be seen clearly, it felt like a replica of our own team.

Of course, there are obvious differences.

For example, there is no drummer in your team, so there will be no sound similar to that of beating a taiko drum.

Also, among the pirate team that appeared in the fog, there seemed to be no outline corresponding to the little old man's body.

Maybe something is imitating us?

But because the little old man's body was so concealed, the other party didn't sense it?

That's a really poor imitation...

The two ghost kings at the back of the team came behind Maomao as soon as possible.

"What are these things blocking the road?"

The heavy iron chains on the Golden Bear Boy's body dragged on the ground, and the ends of the chains swayed along the ground like poisonous snakes, ready to move.

"I don't know, it looks quite similar to us."

Xingxiong held the red wine bowl in his hand and shrugged lazily.

She thought what was coming up ahead was quite interesting.

But, it's just fun.

Xingxiong did not feel any obvious threat from the front. Even if there were any enemies blocking his way, they would definitely not be strong ones.

"Tsk! You're playing tricks!"

Unlike the calm and composed Cat Shopkeeper and Star Bear at this moment, Golden Bear has always had a hot temper.

It is also possible that the former two are waiting for the latter to take action so that they can see what happens next.

The Golden Bear spun his right hand violently, and several chains wrapped around his arms. The chains then smashed towards the thick fog in front of him like a long whip.

Whoosh!
Several chains were drawn into the mist, whistling through the air, colliding with each other, and making sharp metallic sounds.

The effect is also immediate.

Not only did the thick fog dissipate a little, but even the dull drum sounds weakened.

At the same time, the beast's howl of pain could be heard.

"Ow—"

"Ow—"

The howling and wailing sounds were very chaotic and sounded a bit like a dog or a fox.

The next second, the outlines in the fog of those imitating Cat Shopkeeper, Golden Bear, Star Bear and others all changed and became clearer.

They all turned into mysterious creatures of varying sizes with dark brown fur.

Some resemble foxes and some resemble raccoons, but they are rounder and furrier, and have shorter limbs.

These strange beasts all have large heads, broad foreheads and round cheeks. Their muzzles are white, and their cheeks and eyes are covered with black fur, which is lighter on top and darker on the bottom, making their facial colors look like pirate masks.

raccoon dog.

If we judge these beasts by their appearance from a biological perspective, they should be considered raccoon dogs of the Canidae family.

However, anything that can move around in the normal world is definitely not a normal animal.

They are monsters and ghost stories.

The group of raccoons in front of us roughly looked like 30 or 40 of them, shaped like humans, some wearing straw hats, some with leaves on their heads, and they were holding wine bottles, pipes, umbrellas and other miscellaneous objects in their hands.

Among them, there were about a dozen who were whipped by the Golden Bear and rolled on the ground screaming in pain.

The rest may not have reacted for a while, and some were even waving their claws and slapping their round bellies. They finally stopped when they heard their companions screaming.

On the abdomen of this group of raccoon dogs, there are black lines like magatama.

When they raise their paws and tap, they make a drumming sound.

That's how the sound of the Taiko drum is produced, and it seems that this drum sound is used to create an illusion.

Calling such a group of things "raccoon dogs" is obviously a bit of an insult to them.

In traditional Japanese ghost stories, raccoon dogs that have transformed into spirits and possessed spiritual powers are generally called "Hua Tanuki" or simply "Raccoon Dog".

The raccoon is widely known among Japanese monsters, and its status is similar to that of the fox demon.

It is said that raccoons generally have the ability to transform themselves and can hold leaves on their heads to change into the image they need.

In addition, fox demons also have similar abilities to transform.

And in the Japanese's perception, the raccoon's level of transformation is even higher than that of the fox, so there is a saying "the fox has seven transformations, the raccoon has eight transformations."

In addition, in Japanese folk monster culture, foxes are usually more cold and aloof, while raccoons are more honest. In many traditional ghost stories, foxes transform to harm people, while raccoons transform to tease people.

Raccoon dogs like to see humans being played around with.

Of course, these are just humans’ impressions of these two magical beasts.

……

The transformed raccoons that were blocking the road in front were pulled out of their original forms by the Golden Bear with a simple wave of their chains.

It collapsed with one blow.

The Golden Bear seemed to look down on these monsters.

He smacked his lips: "Tsk, raccoon?"

Before the ordinary world and the present world were separated, Golden Bear had dealt with individual raccoon monsters or fox monsters.

In his opinion, although both are monsters that are good at transforming, fox demons are insidious, self-righteous, and very annoying creatures who are good at putting on airs.

The raccoon demon is a very dirty and annoying creature.

When Golden Bear was young, before he became the king of Oeyama, he once competed with a male raccoon.

Under the bulging belly of the raccoon monster, there were two huge balls hanging, lying naked between its legs.

It calls the two meaty bags under its crotch "Moonlight". They can stretch and transform, for example, into a large net to catch fish, or into balloons to fly into the sky, or even into various weapons to fight.

In short, as a male golden bear, he thinks that the raccoon's behavior of showing off and using the "light of the bright moon" is not decent.

Because of his combat experience in his childhood, he didn't really want to fight the male raccoon monster again unless it was necessary.

It's simply an insult to ghosts!

Among the group of raccoons in front of him, there were obviously several with "moonlight" hanging down.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The golden bear roared loudly.

The raccoons seemed to realize at this moment that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and they howled and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Humph!"

Seeing the raccoons disperse, Golden Bear took back the chain.

What a bunch of people who don't know how to live or die. How dare they set their sights on our Takama-ga-hara!
Ah, no, you actually dared to target our Dajiangshan ghost clan!
"Meow."

Seeing that the road ahead was clear, the cat shook its tails, chirped softly to greet the team members, and set off again with its head held high.

If those guys were just playing a prank, the proud cat wouldn't want to waste time making a fuss about it.

The important thing is to quickly deliver the [Nirudao's relics] to the divine craftsman.

As long as you complete this task, you will definitely get praise from your master.

"Meow~"

I'm the most helpful cat!
"Um……"

The Star Bear Boy took the Star Bear Cup away with his backhand and thought for a moment.

She also had no intention of chasing after those raccoons.

However, Xingxiong was a little surprised that Jinxiong did not waste time on those raccoons.

She didn't know about the "special experience" that Golden Bear had in his childhood.

Just thought maybe the golden bear is starting to grow a brain too?
Although the raccoon looks a bit honest in appearance, it is just as cunning as the fox.

Judging from the current situation, there seems to be a group of raccoons around Iyo Matsuyama.

I don’t know how many raccoons are still here, and I don’t know if there are any powerful leaders among them.

If you delay here, you might be plotted against.

Xingxiong was not afraid of these raccoons, but like the cat shopkeeper, he thought that the most important thing now was to safely send the [Nirudao's relics] back to his own forces.

Getting this thing means that construction of the Hachisha Onna's shrine can begin soon.

It’s better to lock in the profit first.

……

"Ow—"

Although the chubby raccoons are short and stocky, they are extremely agile when running away.

Moreover, they are familiar with the terrain of Songshan.

"No one is following me!" "No one is following me!"

After running a long way and making sure there were no pursuers behind them, the raccoon monsters stopped and gathered together.

Among these dozens of raccoons, there is one that is as big as an adult wild boar and is their little leader.

It was this "big raccoon" just now, with leaves on its head, that transformed into the appearance of the most difficult to imitate Oboroguruma.

"It seems like they don't plan to take care of us." The big raccoon scratched a leaf above his head. "A team of ghosts... and some other monsters combined together. What a strange combination."

It's hard to tell whether its tone is one of relief or regret.

Maybe it's both.

"A strange combination." "Did they kill Nirudao?" "Did they really kill him?"

The small raccoons gathered together, talking at the same time, and their voices were as bubbling as boiling water.

"I think so. Nirudo is no longer here."

"Good thing?" "Bad thing?"

"It's hard to say right now."

The demise of the nun is not necessarily a bad thing for the raccoons in Matsuyama.

After all, the one who entered the Tao was not in the same group with them.

Nirudo was formed by the condensation of the souls of the raccoon and fox species that died in the Songshan area a long time ago.

But the raccoon dog and the fox don't get along, it's no exaggeration to say they are mortal enemies.

For example, the raccoons who occupy the hilltop in Songshan are on high alert and will not allow any other fox to enter their territory.

Therefore, that Nirudao possessed the characteristics of both a raccoon and a fox, and did not belong to either of the two tribes.

However, Nirudo's strength is not weak. Both the raccoons guarding Songshan and the foxes wandering outside Songshan seem to want to use him, and they have also worshipped Nirudo in private.

The occasional worship by monsters is also the only source of Ni Rudao's faith.

After all this, a very strange balance was reached between the three parties.

And now this balance has been broken.

"Where did those ghosts come from?" "Hun found helpers?" "Hun helped Hu steal our 'Da Ming Yue'?"

The little raccoons continued to chatter away.

The noise gave the big raccoon a headache.

"After all, we don't even know where the 'Da Ming Yue' is right now. Besides, I don't think they were sent by the fox."

"It's hard to say." "What should we do now?"

"Anyway, let's go back and tell Lord Yabaibali about the situation here."

The raccoons kept making a lot of noise and went deeper into the forest.

And a few minutes after they left.

"Aba whined."

A little old man dressed as a monk and holding a shakuhachi jumped down from the branch of a pine tree here, fell to the ground, rolled twice, patted his monk's robe, and climbed up again.

It seems like I heard some very interesting information.

Eight hundred and eight raccoons.

This should be the leader of the raccoons in Iyo Matsuyama.

Or just now, the scout heard a raccoon mention something about the "big bright moon".

I don't know what it means.

But it seemed like it was something that the raccoon demons and fox demons here were fighting over.

The little old man, who had quite a lot of knowledge about ghost stories, naturally knew what the "light of the bright moon" of some male raccoons meant.

Their offspring bags.

So, the so-called "big bright moon" could it be a pair of even larger "bright moon lights"?

That's a bit funny.

"Abba."

The little old man pushed the dark hat on his head.

Things here in Iyo Matsuyama seem to be quite interesting.

In short, let’s report what happened here to the master first.
