After the country was demolished again

At noon, Mulian and Purgatory Kotoshiro arrived at the destination forest. This is a rather desolate place. Although there are trees and rivers, the soil is not suitable for farming, so there are few people living there. There are only a few families of loggers and charcoal sellers. Live near the woods.

A place with few people like this is indeed suitable for some ghosts and ghosts to haunt.

Mulian followed Purgatory Xingjulang into the forest. On the way, the young man carefully taught Mulian how to judge whether there was a ghost from the traces left by trees and land. Mulian listened carefully. After all, although she can judge the traces of human activities and There are many footprints of wild beasts, but there is still a lack of understanding of ghosts, creatures whose bodies can produce unpredictable mutations.

They walked all the way to the depths of the forest. According to the information obtained by Purgatory Koshouro, there are rumors of monsters in the depths of the forest among the people living nearby. After receiving the information, the ghost killing team dispatched some ghost hunters to investigate, but There were no traces of ghosts, and there was only one incident of people disappearing strangely, but the rumors of monsters became more and more intense.

"Until half a month ago, some members of the ghost killing team also said that they saw a monster, and then the headquarters sent Shuizhu to investigate, but he suddenly fell ill on the way, and before the lord found a clever doctor, he was in the nearby wisteria flower. passed away at home."

When mentioning this matter, the voice of Purgatory Koshourou sank. Mu Lian had never seen a water column, but she could understand Purgatory Koshourou’s feelings in the face of the sudden death of his friend. The people who are here will surely go to heaven.”

Mu Lian's comfort was very sincere, but at the same time she was also wondering about the time when it was brought up again and again - this is the third time, what happened on the territory of the successor country half a month ago?Although the caravan conflicts, the cracks in the statue of the devil and the rumors of monsters in the forest sounded irrelevant, but since the latter two involved gods and monsters, she really had to be on guard.

Perhaps her silence caused a misunderstanding. Purgatory Kotoshiro showed a comforting smile to Mulian, and sighed softly: "Yuanyi-kun once said: the poor will return to the same place. Maybe that time has really come. , let’s toast and drink together.”

"Yuanyi? It really doesn't sound like something he would say." This was obviously changing the subject, so Mu Lian also restrained her mind and echoed with emotion, but she was indeed a little surprised that Ji Guoyuan could speak so politely. Although her little brother-in-law always speaks with honorifics and perfect etiquette, it is really rare to be so eloquent.

"Yuanyi-kun does say some unexpected things sometimes, and he is so old-fashioned that he seems to be an old man who is indifferent to life, but I can't say what happened before, after all, he..."

When he said this, Kotoshiro Purgatory suddenly stopped, and when Mulian looked at him strangely, the young man with owl hair showed an apologetic expression.

"Although you are Yuan Yijun's brother-in-law, Mulian, I don't want to disclose his situation. He doesn't want anyone to know about it. If he feels the need to tell you, he will probably tell you."

"It doesn't matter. Of course, Yuanyi has his own private affairs. I won't ask more questions." Mulian expressed her understanding. She thought that what Xingjulang Purgatory was referring to should be what happened when Yuanyi's wife and child died tragically, but The tone of the other party's words seems to say that there are other secrets in it. After all, although this incident is regrettable, it will not make Yuanyi specifically ask the insider to keep silent.

Things are a bit strange, but Mu Lian decided to study again when she has the opportunity. What she needs to do now is to study what happened in the territory of the country, and capture the real monster from the forest.

Finally, their trip was worthwhile. In the afternoon, Mu Lian first found strange claw marks on a tree trunk that was very high above the ground.

"This mark doesn't look like a bear or a bobcat. No other beast can leave a mark at such a high place." Mulian said, turning her eyes to Purgatory Kotoshiro, waiting for him to judge whether it was a ghost.

"No matter how mutated the body structure of the ghost is, it is based on the human body, so no matter what, it will retain the appearance of a human being." Purgatory Kotoshiro said thoughtfully, his voice full of doubts, "But the scratches are four It means, generally speaking, even if the body of a ghost is mutated to suit its own situation, it will not abandon the more convenient human five fingers."

"So it's a monster?"

"If it's a ghost, then the opponent must be very powerful, because it's impossible for a ghost's body to mutate to this extent after eating 20 people. But if it's not..."

Purgatory Kotoshiro didn't finish his words, but Mulian had already got the answer. If it wasn't a ghost, then there must have been a monster belonging to the inner world on the territory of the following country, and this matter would be quite difficult.

But now I haven't seen the other party, and everything is still uncertain. In order to find this guy hiding in the dark as soon as possible, Mulian proposed to Purgatory Kotoshiro to search separately. The reason she gave was that ghosts can only appear after dark , now she is not in danger even if she is separated from Purgatory Yukihiro.

"If it is indeed a creature other than ghosts, I will let the crow inform you immediately."

It has to be said that the ghost-killing team's crow message is indeed a very useful means of communication. Mulian even moved her heart to cultivate a ninja beast, but she will not use ninja beasts in the ghost-slaying team in the future, so Just thinking about it for the time being.

Purgatory Kotoshiro agreed with Mulian's suggestion, and after telling her to be careful, he separated from her at the scratch. They agreed that they would meet at the edge of the forest before nightfall, no matter whether they found the monster or not.

After separating from Purgatory Yukihiro, Mulian walked some distance into the depths of the forest, and felt that the distance was far enough that Purgatory Kojuro could not hear any voice from her, so he leaned down and put his palms on the ground, holding the Chakra Dip into the soil and radiate to the surroundings. In an instant, the wind and grass in the forest are fed back to her. She is like a spider squatting in the middle of the spider web. Every tremor of the spider web is in her perception. As long as her prey appears, there will be nothing possible escape.

Through this wide-ranging sensory search, Mulian did find something unusual. On the other side of the mountain forest, near the border of the national territory, there was a huge thing sleeping soundly. The chakra she released told her, The thing was unmistakably a four-legged beast, but nothing but a bear fit its size, and even bears seldom grew to that size.

Mu Lian suspected that the several events half a month ago were related to this monster, whether it was a monster or not. She set the coordinates with Chakra and was going to meet this thing in person.

But just before she set off, the chakra she released gave her another message—it seemed that someone was approaching the place where the beast was, and it wasn't Purgatory Yukihiro.

Regardless of whether the beast belonged to the creature in the inner world or not, this person would probably die if he saw it.Mu Lian didn't delay any longer, got up and used the instant body technique to rush to the location of the beast in the distance.
