I loaded the ghost talk game

Eternal life.

Iyo, Matsuyama.

This world area corresponds to the real area, which is near Matsuyama City in Ehime Prefecture.

Songshan in Toshiro is basically a mountainous landform, but the environment is not too gloomy during the day. The ancient trees here are towering, and the golden beams pass through the layers of leaves and scatter on the ground in variegated patterns, making it quiet and deep.

In this mountain forest, there is a female figure wandering around like a headless fly.

The figure was floating in the air with its hands hanging down. She was wearing a plain white furisode with three lines. She had a slender figure and long hair shawl.

Her facial features are the same as those of a normal person, but she has an extra huge one-eye on the top of her head. At this time, the one-eye was looking around uneasily, observing the surrounding situation.

This is the "post-god".

It is said that she is a female ghost who follows cowards or indecisive people. When people hesitate for a moment, the ghost will fly into the air and whisper in their ears: "Ah! Hurry up!"

The queen god who appears here in Matsuyama is not a local ghost story, she belongs to the Takamagahara forces.

Because of his quick actions and flexible mind, Ji Ji, who also served as the "personnel manager", had been assigned to the Cat Shopkeeper a long time ago.

The job he does is to assist the cat boss to go out on a treasure hunt and look for materials.

She can be considered a female ghost with an official establishment.

Moreover, Maomao boss treats her well. So far, Houshen has been promoted to E-level Guitaan with her salary and the boss's extra care.

On this long journey to Songshan, of course Hou Shen came with the large army. But somehow he became alone, and now he seems to be anxiously looking for his companions.

The cool wind in the mountain forest blew through, stirring up the smell of moist earth and moss.

"Woo-"

Houshen whimpered and continued to wander amidst the sound of the wind, and suddenly he noticed something in hindsight.

The single eye on the top of her head rolled around in its socket, and finally locked in a direction behind her.

There, half a figure was revealed behind the trunk of a tall pine tree.

Not a companion.

It seemed to be a nun, wearing a white nun's turban often worn by Japanese nuns. The hanging turban slightly covered the lower half of the nun's face. However, you can still see that the opponent's eyes are staring at Hou Shen!

The bhikshuni wore a gray-brown monk's robe, and her two hands with fine animal hair were climbing up the tree trunk. And under her robe, near her legs, there seemed to be something shaking through the fabric.

……Tail?

After noticing this bhikshuni who was behaving strangely and with unknown purpose, the god did not turn around.

She kept moving forward, but the single eye above her head was still locked on the strange bhikshuni.

"Woo..."

After keeping a certain distance from the other party, Houshen noticed something was wrong again.

In the vision of the third eye on her head, the nun...has not changed.

It was the kind of visual and sensory changes that should have occurred, but they did not appear on the other party.

Large near and small far.

As the distance between the two parties becomes longer, the silhouette of the bhikshuni should become smaller and smaller in the sight of the queen.

But no matter how the queen moved, the outline of the bhikshuni never changed in her field of vision, and it was always the same size.

No……

The eyeball in Hou Shen's one eye started to spin again.

In fact, the bhikshuni is not without "changes" all the time.

She is always changing.

She's getting bigger!

That's right.

Referring to the scenery around the bhikshuni, the trunk of the pine tree that could have covered half of her body is now completely unable to block her.

Click——

The trees blocking the nun's path were pushed down by her, breaking and collapsing.

"Namo..."

The bhikshuni was chanting something, and her body changed more obviously, expanding rapidly. The gray-brown monk's robe rose from the ground, rising higher and higher.

She grew taller than any of the ancient trees around her.

She became taller than the mountains in the distance.

The white nun's turban danced wildly with the strong wind from high above. The bhikshuni, who had turned into a giant, slowly lowered his head and looked down at the head of the god. His eyes flashed with a ferocious light like a beast.

"Namo!"

She roared with all her strength, without any grace that a monk should have, and roughly raised her fist as big as a mountain bag and whizzed down at the prey.

But at this time, the Hou Shen seemed to have been prepared for it. He flew to avoid it and rushed towards the dense forest ahead.

Her strength is indeed not strong, but her agile speed and flexible evasion skills are remarkable, otherwise she would not be arranged to work for the cat shopkeeper.

"Ugh - so manic..."

That’s right!

Hou Shen understood in his heart.

This is the kind of monster that the cat boss and the two adults from the ghost clan were talking about!

See more and enter the Tao.

A kind of Lutong demon that can change the size of its body freely.

According to legend, this kind of monster likes to stick its head out from the wall. It is originally about the same size as an ordinary person, but as long as someone stares at it, it will gradually expand in size and turn into a huge monster. It will frighten passers-by when viewed from above.

It's a giant monster with a strong sense of oppression.

It is said that the monster has another special characteristic. If a passerby keeps looking up at its exposed neck, the monster will bite its throat violently. Therefore, it is very dangerous to encounter a jingo initiator.

However, Hou Shen has eyes on his head, so he doesn't need to raise his head to see Yue Rudao.

In addition, in general legends, Yue Rudao is always seen as a male monk.

However, there are also female Yue Rudao who look like nuns. This kind of female Lutongmo who can also expand her body is generally called "Ni Rudao".

This should be the one that Hou Shen is facing now.

…

The huge Ni Rudao pursued Hou Shen relentlessly.

The violent footsteps resounded through the world, and towering ancient trees were broken in half under her impact.

Even though Hou Shen was mentally prepared, the terrifying aura emanating from the enemy still made her tremble instinctively.

This Ni Rudao is a wild god!

Although it seems that it is the kind of wild god that is worshipped without a particularly stable source of faith.

But even so, for Hou Shen, who is only E-level, this is an opponent that is absolutely impossible to defeat.

"Woo——"

Hou Shen whimpered and ran for her life at the fastest speed.

In front of her, the sound of sobbing and desolate shakuhachi sounded.

That was the little old man's body guiding her.

With the scout leading the way, Hou Shen didn't need to make any judgments about the complex forest conditions, she just had to follow him.

When she flew over a lush forest area, the sound of the shakuhachi suddenly stopped, but Hou Shen felt a little more at ease.

Her mission was accomplished!

In front of her, a big cat gracefully walked out from the shadow of the trees, walked in front of Hou Shen, and squatted on the ground.

The big cat's fur was shiny and smooth, and a pair of beautiful pupils shone like rubies. The two tails behind it were high up, each with a shining golden ring, swaying calmly and gently from side to side, giving people a sense of wealth and grace.

"Meow--"

The cat shopkeeper started to cry, not the kind of coquettish voice of a domestic cat.

This tone of voice is usually only heard when facing its master, Kamiya Kawa.

At this moment, the cat shopkeeper made a roar like the king of beasts.

Ni Rudao chased here and finally felt something was wrong.

There is the breath of a strong man here, and there is more than one!

But by the time she realized this, it was too late.

Hualala——

Deep in the dense forest, thick chains whistled and rolled up sand and gravel, collided and entangled with each other, making a loud metal vibration sound, like a black python soaring into the sky!

These chains quickly wrapped around Ni Rudao's feet.

Even though her body was as huge as a mountain and her strength was infinite, the power transmitted by the chain was comparable to her, dragging her and making her unable to break free for a while.

Then, water flowed in the jungle again.

The surging tide was mixed with the sweet aroma of wine, rushing towards Ni Rudao from all directions.

The two ghost kings in Dajiang Mountain, Jinxiong and Xingxiong, had been waiting here for a long time. The moment the enemy stepped into the ambush circle, they tacitly joined forces to launch an attack!

Nirudo was knocked down by the torrent of wine summoned by Xingxiong. With a sharp roar, his towering body slammed into the ground, causing the valley to tremble and roar.

The edges of the chains that entangled her were extremely sharp, and they were like sharp blades that roared and cut through her flesh and blood.

This Nirudo was just a low-level wild god who didn't get much faith.

Jinxiong and Xingxiong were both subordinate gods in the Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine. Whether from the real Ibuki Shrine or from the internal faith propagation of their own forces in the world, they could obtain a stable source of incense.

In addition, it was an ambush with two against one, so there was no suspense in the battle.

…

Before the start of this operation, Houshen, who volunteered to act as bait, has now safely reunited with his teammates.

Her colleague, the vague-looking "Jincha", was circling around her, happily spinning like a small animal.

The two were surrounded by a group of burly and well-equipped ghost soldiers.

The eyes of Houshen turned around and looked at the direction where Ni Rudao fell: "Woo... Lord Jinxiong and Lord Xingxiong... are going to win."

The two adults of the ghost tribe still give people a sense of security as always.

"Meow--"

The cat boss in front of him cried again.

At this moment, it has crawled on the ground, its pupils flashing, its front paws grasping the ground, and twisting its abdomen and hips back and forth.

Houshen knew that when his "big sister" twisted her butt like this, it was not acting cute.

This was the prelude to its attack.

It was the "forward swing" of the cat boss adjusting the posture of his hind legs to test the ground support. Of course, it could also be a special performance of it entering a state of excitement for hunting.

"Meow!"

Sure enough, the next second, the cat shopkeeper turned into a graceful golden stream of light and pounced out!

The victory of the battle was already decided. The cat shopkeeper seized the opportunity to intervene in the battlefield, which not only maximized the number of soul crystals generated after the enemy's death, but also increased the probability of props and materials being left behind.

In a sense, cats and treasures have similar battlefield characteristics.

In less than half a minute, dense and miserable howling like foxes or raccoons sounded on the battlefield, and some animal-shaped phantoms struggled and scattered, and then quickly disappeared.

The cat shopkeeper returned triumphantly.

"Meow~"

It squinted its eyes proudly, held its head high and strode forward, and its two tails were proudly raised high again, and there was a small glowing object in its mouth.

That thing should be obtained from the dissipated Ni Rudao.

Behind the cat shopkeeper, followed by the golden bear dragging a body of chains, and the star bear holding a red wine bowl.

The back god floated forward and took the glowing small object from the mouth of the cat boss.

This thing is oval, orange-red, and has the color of agate.

The back god didn't know what this trophy was, maybe it was a bit like a relic?

However, looking at the appearance of the cat boss, this should be what we need to get this time.

Put away the relic, and the exploration team rested on the spot.

Golden Bear: "What were those phantoms that came out of the body of Jian Yue Rudao when she dissipated just now? Foxes or raccoons?"

Star Bear: "I think there are both images."

"Aba, Aba."

The little old man beside him also joined the discussion of the ghost kings, and picked up a small stone and wrote and drew on the ground, so that the kings could understand his meaning more directly.

[The Nirudo just now is a huge vengeful spirit formed by the souls of many raccoon monsters and fox monsters. Many foxes and raccoons died here. ]

The scout with superb perception has followed Kamiya River in the past two years and has seen a lot of big scenes.

In addition, in his spare time, he often reads the monster books that his master often reads.

In the field of monster and strange talk knowledge, the old man knows a lot.

In folk rumors, there is a saying that monsters like Jianyue Nyudo or Nirudo are transformed from foxes, hyenas, raccoons and other spirits that are good at illusion.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Nirudo just now was formed by the souls of raccoon monsters and fox monsters.

"No wonder." Xingxiong nodded, "Then the relic that the cat shopkeeper just took out is the material that the divine craftsman wants, right?"

Sister Jue, the divine craftsman, once sent a list to the cat shopkeeper.

It lists a series of materials that may be used to build a shrine for Hachisha-sama after obtaining the [Nu Nu Scale] containing the power of "lust".

In that list, Jue mentioned that -

The materials produced by Jianyue Nyudo, who is at the level of the wild god, are optional options for the second core material that fits Hachisha-sama's shrine.

With this material, the abilities of "transformation" and "giganticization" can be integrated into Hachisha-sama's shrine.

Originally, the second core material for Hachisha-sama's shrine construction was mainly found by the powerful Kamiyagawa himself.

The cat team did not list the search for Jianyue Nyudo as the main goal of this long journey.

But never thought that when the team was near Iyo, the little old man's body suddenly felt the extremely restless and violent breath of Jianyue Nyudo in the mountains and forests.

And because this was a long journey, Xingxiong also followed the team.

The scouts accurately assessed their own combat effectiveness and there was a guarantee, so there was no need to trouble the master to take action again.

It was a lucky coincidence that they got this useful material.

After getting the unexpected reward, the Cat Team did not plan to stay in Iyo for long.

The closest area controlled by their side to Iyo was Oeyama Castle.

They planned to go back to Oeyama now and use the well-developed transportation network within their forces to hand over the [Nirudo's Relic] to the God Craftsman first.
