After defeating King Ciguera, Bai Jie recovered the "Yan Luoluo" monster. At the same time, the group also found a treasure of the local Ainu tribe in the valley where the mist dissipated.
"Found it."
Old man Songping found a crystal-clear gem deep in King Ciguera's lair. It was a "Fire Obsidian Orb" that radiated heat.
"It is said that as long as it comes into contact with spiritual power and demon power, it can generate heat... This should be a means of survival for the Ezo people who live in barren lands, right? I wonder why this monster stole this kind of thing?"
"There should be some purpose, right?"
Bai Jie murmured to himself.
"I will interrogate that parasitic demon later, it should know something..."
They were helping an Ainu tribe to retrieve this lost Fire Obsidian Orb.
This was an agreement with the Ainu tribe. After Bai Jie and others defeated King Ciguera and retrieved the orb, the Ainu people would lead them.
Bai Jie and others sent out shikigami to investigate the old territory of the Yuejialuo clan, and found that the periphery of the territory was occupied by a large number of half-human, half-owl monsters.
Strictly speaking, these monsters had set up a tight defense line, centered on the ruins of the old territory which they regarded as a "nest", and laid down a surveillance network.
"This should be the dependents left behind by the fierce god Koutan Koro Kamui. If we break through directly, we will be attacked by them."
The fierce god's dependents were heavily guarded. Although their numbers were not particularly large, they would be very troublesome. At this time, Lian Zhang Xianshilang pointed out something.
"In addition, I strongly suspect that Koutan Koro Kamui's clone may be hiding in the old territory. If a battle occurs, the situation will be very unfavorable for us."
The information and secrets he possessed were obviously more than what Bai Jie and others knew.
'However... there is nothing strange about this. Lian Zhang's identity and status are special. He can directly obtain more important secrets from the Yinglongmu Agency...'
Bai Jie knew this very well.
"Clone?"
Zhu Zhou sighed: "Moreover, this clone should also be able to use the power of the earth veins to strengthen itself, and can use this method to bless itself."
"That's troublesome."
Old man Songping sighed.
"Koutan Koro Kamui are all half-owl people with flying abilities. They can fly and have excellent eyesight. Forcing our way in will only lead to their siege... Not to mention, if there is a secondary god's clone, the difficulty will be even higher."
Everyone fell silent.
Bai Jie didn't speak. He knew a lot of information about this plot, but some things were not suitable for him to say.
"Wait a minute... So," Ye Ming suddenly thought of something, she muttered to herself as if she was thinking, "If we can't go on the ground, it should be no problem to go underground, right?"
"Young master, what do you mean by this?"
Old man Songping frowned.
"I think we should be able to pass through the back mountain of the territory."
Ye Ming said in a deep voice while trying to recall, "The back mountain of the territory is said to be connected to an extremely deep cave, similar to the 'human hole' in the legend of Koga Saburo. It is an underground cave leading to an extremely deep underground space.
The local Ainu people know the secret about this cave, and they also know how to enter the cave and find their way out in the maze-like underground cave."
"In other words."
Bai Jie had been waiting for her to say these words.
"We will go to those Ainu people next and inquire about the cave from them?"
"Please wait a moment?"
Zhu Zhou asked in confusion: "The Tsugaru Peninsula is almost entirely ruled by the fierce god and its dependents. Where can we find an Ainu tribe nearby?"
"Don't worry."
Old man Songping said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to survive in this environment, but the Ainu are not ordinary people. They lived here before the Yuejialuo clan developed the Tsugaru Peninsula. At that time, various demons and monsters were everywhere, but they always survived safely..."
The Yuejialuo clan had a good relationship with the local Ainu tribes, and the two sides often had contact.
"The key is to have a guide."
Ye Ming explained: "That underground space is very huge, and it is as intricate as a maze. If there is no one who knows the route, it is almost impossible to pass through this underground cave."
"I see."
Bai Jie nodded, pretending to be convinced.
In fact, Ye Ming's suggestion to find the Ainu people and ask them for help was also a plot in the original work.
However, the following development surprised him somewhat.
The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
Ye Ming and others did not spend much effort to find the place where the Ainu people lived.
It was a small village hidden in an ancient valley like a deep mountain tree sea. The periphery of the village was surrounded by wooden fences entwined with vines. Totem stakes for making enchantments and pieces of cloth hanging to the ground could be seen everywhere.
The foundation of the buildings in the tribe was made of stone, but the main body was made of wood, and the roofs and windows were covered with animal skins and thatch.
"So, you need us to send a guide to help you enter that cave and detour to the Yuejia family's territory."
Ye Ming and his party sat down near the entrance of the wooden fence and lit a bonfire. There were trees all around. Although the deep darkness between the trees permeated the cold wind, and the air was so cold that it was biting, the cold was completely dispelled by the flames.
"Hoo hoo."
An old man dressed in exotic clothes laughed. This was an old man with dark skin and slightly pointed ears. He was extremely thin and his face was covered with deep wrinkles.
The chief of the tribe, this old woman, said to Ye Ming unhurriedly as if she was chatting: "Master Ye Ming, speaking of your father, the former head of the family, Washizu-sama, has also taken great care of our tribe for a long time. Originally, it would not be difficult to send someone familiar with the cave space to be your guide."
She paused and said in a deep voice: "However, there are some troubles now."
"Trouble?"
Ye Ming's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"The tribe is in a crisis and cannot provide assistance to you."
The old woman smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"A monster has awakened in a canyon to the north... Although the fierce god Koutan Koro Kamui is also a dangerous existence, our Ainu people do not live on the ley lines, so it probably won't target us in particular. Besides, there is also the power left by the previous generations of chiefs here, which is enough for us to avoid demons."
The Ainu tribes belong to different tribes. One branch lives in the high mountains and forges ironware for a living with iron and fire;
The other branch hides deep in the forest. Unlike their counterparts in the high mountains, this branch of the Ainu people seems to have an innate ability to coexist with trees and forests. Hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, they can be protected by this power, and even monsters rarely harass them.
"As long as there is the protection of the ancestors and the ancestral spirits of the previous generations of chiefs, we are not afraid of the monsters in the mountains, and as long as we are in the forest, we always have a way to hide our tracks... However, recently that monster attacked the village for some reason and stole the orb necessary for wintering."
The old woman proposed a deal.
"If you can bring back this orb, we are also willing to send a guide to help you... If you can't do it, then the tribe has no way to send valuable manpower for the winter."
This was the condition she proposed, which was an event not in the original work.
However, Ye Ming still agreed to this condition and decided to defeat King Ciguera in the canyon.
Bai Jie recalled the whole incident and still had many doubts about this situation.
"This section is not in the original work. The plot has obviously undergone some changes. Is it a butterfly effect...?"
He had been worried about one thing, that is, excessive intervention in the plot would lead to major changes in the game's plot.
Bai Jie didn't want this to happen, because that would cause his advantage as a player with "foresight" to disappear.
The appearance of King Ciguera was not in the plot he knew, and he suspected that something went wrong.
"So, will this trip still be as smooth as in the game?"
