Inuyasha pursed his lips and turned his head away, "...weak monsters like to gather together and act collectively. His father took him out and went back probably thinking that he could protect him."

Holding together for warmth, just like the race of Gangya.

Coral immediately understood what Inuyasha meant, "That's good. This is also the best for Qibao. They will be safer with the protection of monsters."

"Hmph." Inuyasha snorted lightly, as his own recognition.

What about you? Inuyasha, who always talks about being weak, how did he protect himself when he was a child? He is also a monster, isn't he? Even if he is a half-monster...

Looking at the unruly Inuyasha, Miroku swallowed the words he wanted to ask subconsciously. Inuyasha's fellow tribesmen... His eyes twitched, so he said goodbye, he couldn't afford to provoke them.

"Okay." Kikyo interrupted the communication between the few people, "Coral Miroku, everyone has worked hard today, pack up and rest."

But she picked up the bow and arrow and walked away. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be in the mountains and forests.

Coral hurriedly called her, "Kikyo, where are you going? It's dangerous outside at night."

"Something happened."

The dead soul worm came out from nowhere, and the silver-white slender worm surrounded the priestess.

Seeing this scene, Coral stopped talking. Kikyo's body... This is going to collect dead souls.

Kikyo paused for a moment, without looking back, "Inuyasha, you stay here, we need someone to guard the night."

Inuyasha wanted to follow:...

Leaving everyone behind, Kikyo was surrounded by the dead soul worms, and her body disappeared into the darkness.

The sound of insects came and went in the forest at night. Kikyo shuttled through the unmanned path, and birds and butterflies appeared behind her.

Butterfly bowed: "Lord Kikyo, I didn't find any traces of monsters."

"It's the same here." Asuka echoed.

Kikyo's face was cold, "No monsters..." How could it be possible? Even if it was the territory of the Steel Fang Demon Wolf Clan, there shouldn't be no monsters.

Moreover, the human corpses in the mountain could not have been eaten by the demon wolf tribe. Demons will not bury humans in the ground after eating them.

The only explanation... Thinking of the answer, Kikyo's black pupils became deep.

Humans...

Deep in her soul, Kikyo was furious. She clenched her body and pursed her lips. The dead soul worm beside her suddenly rubbed her sleeves, as if to comfort her, but also as if to remind her.

Kikyo put her hand on the head of the dead soul worm to stop its restlessness. She tilted her head and glanced at it, and snorted coldly.

"Since you have the courage to come here, why do you have to shrink back?"

Her voice was so abrupt that Fei Niao and Hudie were stunned for a moment. They looked up in confusion, and then they realized the breath of the opposite side. They rushed to Kikyo with a serious expression, holding the talisman paper.

"Who? Come out!"

Fei Niao shouted sternly.

Soon after he finished speaking, a black shadow emerged from the dark shadow opposite, and the whole body was immersed in the darkness, leaving only a pair of gloomy and cold eyes, which could be slightly seen in the moonlight.

Kikyo's eyes turned, the breath was wrong, the black eyes, it was not Naraku... No, it can't be easily concluded, it might be Naraku's substitute.

With an idea in mind, Kikyo said indifferently, "Naraku?"

"It's not like I haven't seen your body before, why are you hiding?"

His emotionless eyes swept through the black shadow, "Or, have you changed your body again?"

The black shadow was obviously stunned, and he walked out of the darkness hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow was so direct, and Kikyo's breathing became disordered when he moved, and his body tensed up and quickly prepared to draw the bow and shoot the arrow.

However, when she saw who was coming, surprise flashed across her eyes, "You are..."

The man laughed innocently and scratched his head, "It's me...Miracle, why are you here so late?"

Kikyo stared at the man, who was the leader of the village before, "I should ask you this question, so late... why are you here?"

"I remember you said there are many wolf packs near the village..."

The man nodded hesitantly, turned sideways embarrassedly, pointed to the herb basket on his back and the sickle in his hand, "Ah, thank you for your concern, Miracle. I was collecting herbs for the villagers and didn't notice that it was getting dark. When I came to my senses, it was almost dark and I had to travel in the dark. "

He grinned, "Strangely enough, I didn't encounter any wolves today, but I heard from the villagers that the demon hunter left early in the morning to exorcise the demons... Seeing the witch, I think the masters drove away the wolves."

The man bowed frequently, "Thank you so much, witch."

The man said a lot of words in her ear, Kikyo locked her eyes on the man's face, squinted her eyes, and didn't see any unusual changes on the man's face.

Just like an ordinary villager who went up the mountain to collect herbs, his honest smile was simple and natural.

There were thousands of thoughts in his mindThoughts passed by, Kikyo raised her eyelids, "You're welcome."

"It's so late, it's better to be careful, or go back early."

The man nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I'm about to go down the mountain. I've been here many times, it's okay."

"Come here, many times?" What do you mean?

Sensing the doubt in the witch's mouth, the man answered honestly, "In front is the mass grave of our village. Many people killed by monsters, beasts and robbers are buried there. A group of robbers came to the mountain a while ago and killed many people in the village. I came here to bury them many times and I'm very familiar with this place."

So that's it... Kikyo thought of the human corpses in the back mountain. Sure enough, they were all killed by humans... robbers.

"Go back." Kikyo put away the bow and arrow, "I'll take you."

"Huh? Really, really?"

Getting Kikyo's affirmation, the man was ecstatic and nodded even more happily. Who doesn't want to have a powerful person to protect him, especially at this late night?

"Yes! Then I'll trouble you, miko."

The man walked in front with the basket on his back. He wanted to walk beside Kikyo, which would make him feel safer, but his eyes kept glancing at the dead soul worms wrapped around Kikyo.

The dead soul worm raised its head, its dark red eyes turned, and met the man's. The man trembled all over, swallowed his saliva, and took two steps back in panic.

Kikyo:?

"I, I'll lead the way for you."

The man hurriedly looked away and walked in front, not daring to look back at all.

Kikyo realized it later, lowered her head and looked at the dead soul worm, stunned for a moment, and fluttered her eyelashes twice.

Afraid of the dead soul worm... and her...

The color of her eyes flashed twice, and Kikyo waved her hand to let the dead soul worms disperse. They would go into the village later, so they should not see the dead soul worms... the children would be scared.

One in front and one behind, Kikyo followed the man slowly, passing through the crooked road. The grass and trees gradually became sparse, and the road became wider and wider.

A few sparks suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead, and the man was immediately excited and shouted, "It's the villagers! They must be here to pick me up!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person in front seemed to hear the man's voice, and shouted with surprise, "Is it Jiro?!"

"It's his voice, Jiro is back! Quickly notify his family, he has found him!"

The man suppressed his excitement, "Thank you, Miko, for your protection along the way. I, I..."

"You're welcome." Kikyo interrupted his incoherent speech, looking relaxed, "Go home."

"I..." The man hesitated.

"I have companions waiting, I won't go with you."

"Yes!" Finally bowed, the man rushed out quickly, surrounded by sparks in the distance, and faintly heard the crying of an old woman.

Kikyo looked around quietly for a long time, and the red and white figure lowered its head and called out in a low voice.

"Birds and butterflies are gone."

The two shikigami who accompanied her silently followed, one big and two small, and gradually went away.

-

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"I didn't make it. The place was discovered by the shrine maiden."

"..."

"The shrine maiden will temporarily dispel your suspicion and notify everyone not to go to the back mountain these days. If there are several corpses, say they were done by robbers. Don't suspect us."

"Yes."

"Be careful of that half-demon ear, keep your mouth shut."

"Yes!"

"That shrine maiden is a little weird... find someone to test it..."

The subtle conversation dissipated with the wind, and no sound was heard.

After sending the villagers away, Kikyo found a cliff, closed her eyes and sat on the ground, the evening breeze gently caressed her face, and the white ribbon behind her head danced with thousands of hair.

Asuka and Butterfly looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. The master walked for a long time just to come here to enjoy the breeze?

I don't understand.

Shikigami don't understand the strange behavior of humans, but they know that the human body will get tired if it doesn't rest. Kikyo is a body of clay, but under the clay is the human soul.

Butterfly worried, "Lord Kikyo, don't you go back to rest?"

"No need." The thin figure said lightly.

Asuka pulled Butterfly and shook his head silently.

Oh... If Lord Kagome was here, it would be great. They don't even need to notify him. Lord Kagome will come up with Kikyo's grave soil and take Lord Kikyo back to rest.
