Kikyo patted her chest and assured.
Riding on Suicune's back, Yunhe sat behind Yuzhongjin. As for the villager? Let him rest in Maple Village. After all, the latter came all the way here.
The young fox Fu Fu nestled in Yu Zhuanjin's arms.
Yunhe hugged her waist from behind, and Yuzhuanjin gently patted Suijun's bright white mane. The spirit colt understood and stepped on the breeze, soaring up hundreds of meters.
"Ka Ku Yi~"
Kikyo also wanted to ride the spirit horse Suicune, but her mother thought it was too dangerous and never let her.
……
When they arrived at the entrusted village, Yuzhuanjin and Yunhe didn't even need to distinguish it specially, because the farmland in front of the village was in a mess and the vitality of the village was also decadent.
The spirit horse Shuijun landed outside the village. Yuzhuanjin entered the village entrance and found the village chief who looked hopeful. She told him the purpose of their visit and he immediately took them to an unusual place.
"It was here. We saw a large group of snakes appearing densely yesterday. It was very dark at the time and we were all inside the house. The snakes could not enter the house, so we were safe."
The village chief said with some fear.
Yun He squatted down to check whether there was any remaining demonic power in this place, but the final result was "no".
"It's about one meter long, with a sharp head. It's a venomous snake."
Yuzhongjin suddenly said something.
"That's right, just as the witch said!"
The village chief nodded quickly.
"How did you know?"
Yunhe asked curiously.
"Look, there's one stuck in a tree over there."
Yu Zhuanjin raised his finger and pointed to the gap between the trees in front of him. He saw a gray-green poisonous snake struggling constantly. The young fox Fu Fu was squatting on the other end of the branch, stretching out his claws and playing with it with interest.
Apparently, this is what Foo Foo found.
——Curse chain!
Yun He cast a spell to catch the poisonous snake in his hand. After observing it carefully for a long time, he still found nothing. It was just an ordinary poisonous snake.
“Chiu-woo!”
Fu Fu suddenly called out twice.
"There is a very strong smell of snakes over there." Yuzhongjin translated Fu Fu's fox language.
"In that case, let's go take a look."
Yun He felt that even if it was not a demonic disaster, since it had already caused trouble to other villages, they had to try to solve it.
"Ah."
Yu Zhuanjin also breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just an ordinary snake disaster, it should have nothing to do with their disaster.
Following the smell, they came to a forest. From time to time, strange "rustling" sounds were heard in the woods. Yu Zhuanjin watched here for a long time and suddenly found that there was a witch not far away who was exploring the situation around.
"It seems that this is a witch invited from another village. I didn't expect that she would find this place."
Yunhe thinks so.
……
In the distance, an unknown shrine maiden looked at Miozu and Unzuru. She was a shrine maiden from Ichinomiya Yahiko Shrine in Echigo Province, and she came to inspect on the orders of their chief priest.
She didn't know the other priestess in front of her, nor should she know her. After all, they were not in the same area, so she just thought she was a colleague sent by the local palace to inspect.
After checking the place out, she left.
……
Yuzhuanjin and Yunhe originally wanted to share information with the witch, but found that she had already left.
"No~"
Yun He couldn't help but tap his chin with his index finger.
"hiss……"
Yuzhongjin suddenly put her hands on her waist and felt a burning sensation. It was the amulet that the Qinghe priest had given her, which was now constantly warning her.
"Is this, Senior Brother's seal-breaking spell?!" Yun He immediately understood the current situation after seeing the amulet.
……
"Breaking the seal..."
This was also the first time that Yuzhong Jin heard of this spell. She had felt the existence of spells in the amulet before, but she only thought it was a blessing of protection.
"Breaking the seal is also a type of sealing technique. When we encounter a difficult monster, we will use the sealing technique to suppress the target. This is the most efficient way to defeat it. However, the sealing technique is not unsolvable, and its solution is the breaking seal."
Yun He took the hot amulet in Yu Zhuanjin's hand, his face became solemn, and he continued: "The seal-breaking spell allows the caster to freely remove the previously set seal. It is similar to a key to open a sealed cage. No matter who holds it, they can remove the seal left by the caster of the seal-breaking spell."
"..."
It was not until this moment that Yuzhongjin suddenly realized why the Qinghe priest had repeatedly asked her to keep the amulet well, and why she always felt strange when he entrusted her to exorcise the monster.
Yuzhong Jin is not stupid, she already understands that those monsters were sealed by Qinghe priest himself and then let her train.
"…So what's the situation now?"
If this amulet had a technique to break the seal, Yuzhong Jin could understand that, but why was it getting hot again now?
"Deep in the forest there is a seal left by my brother, and that seal is no longer strong. It won't be long before the monster breaks the seal and emerges."
Yunhe explained the situation.
"How to do?"
Yuzhuanjin seeks advice from Yunhe.
"Because he was sealed, his strength is not as strong as before, so he can only control wild beasts that are not even monsters to help him break the seal."
Yun He whispered: "And that monster is most likely a snake monster..."
Snake, whenever Yun He mentioned the word, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
In the past, the priestesses who had drawn the Ten-fist Sword would eventually fight a desperate battle with the powerful snake demon.
Because of this, Yunhe was instilled with the idea that "snakes" were her destiny since she was a child. She didn't like snakes, but she would eventually come into contact with snakes in her life.
“…Yunhe?!”
Yuzhongjin called out the other person's name.
"Well, I was stunned."
Yun He came back to his senses and continued to explain, "My senior brother is very powerful. Ordinary monsters will never be defeated by sealing them, unless it is the little monster king."
Little Demon King, starting from SR level 21, and can reach a maximum level of 40 monsters.
It is also the mission goal that Yuzhongjin can upgrade to SR level as long as he defeats one more.
Should I leave or continue?
In order to seek wealth and honor in danger, Yu Zhuanjin must make herself stronger before she can face Yunhe's death.
"Then seal the monster back underground again!"
Yuzhongjin decided to step into it.
However, she looked at Yunhe and continued, "But just let me handle it on my own."
"You really think I'm holding you back, don't you?"
Yunhe said gloomily.
"That's impossible~"
Yu Zhuanjin was no match for Yunhe, nor could she speak directly to the latter. Besides, there were still seven days between her and the other party's disaster.
She could only gamble that this encounter was not their destined disaster.
……
"This breath, this breath is..."
In the blood pool deep in the forest, a snake emerged, revealing its body that was more than ten meters long. He hissed, "That damned priest!"
The snake shadow floated rapidly, and he sensed that two priestesses had come with the things of the priest who had sealed him.
Resentment and hatred drove him to act.
……
Stepping into the cold forest, the smell of blood around them covered up more clues. Even Fu Fu could not smell any useful information from it for a while.
Yu Zhuanjin held up a barrier with one hand to prevent attacks from the poisonous snakes scattered around. These snakes were not a threat to him. How could they be capable when they did not even have demonic powers?
Yunhe changed the "Breaking the Seal" attached to the amulet from passive to active, and used its power to find the location of the monster sealed by his senior brother.
However, the amulet in his hand became increasingly hot.
A murderous aura came from afar.
The surrounding snakes became restless.
The demon's howl was sharp, and its roar was even clearer.
His appearance made the snakes extremely excited.
It has a human head and a snake body, a gray demon body with dark demon patterns, and is dressed in a red robe. Its eyes are covered by golden jewelry, and its ten eyes are as sharp as eagle hooks. Its face is thin and looks sharp and mean.
As soon as he appeared, the evil spirit began to spread around.
"It is indeed a snake demon..."
Yunhe and Yuzhuanjin immediately became wary of each other.
"I am a Yin Jiao! How can I be compared with a lowly snake without feet?"
Upon hearing the name "snake", Yin Jiao became angry and obviously cared a lot, just like humans being called monkeys, Jiao and snakes are two different creatures!
Image: "Yin Jiao", Location: "Images/"
"You have actually broken the seal."
Yunhe held the amulet tightly and was ready to fight at any time.
"Humph, you are indeed related to that priest. If that's the case, I won't let you go! I will use your blood to completely break my shackles!"
Yin Jiao stretched out his hands, and the demonic fire gathered in his palms.
"Fufu!"
Yuzhuanjin and his young fox Fufu have a close connection with each other.
——Fox hunting world!
A golden field unfolds.
Attribute improvement!
"Lacarnum Inflamarae!"
Yuzhongjin shouted out the spell.
Its flames are blazing!
The vortex of flames broke through forward.
Fight fire with fire to create a stronger flame.
“… a trifle!”
Yin Jiao is of the fire element and is a natural master at controlling fire. It is impossible for him to fall into a disadvantage when he has an advantage. The demonic fire he releases is obviously more powerful than Yu Zhuanjin's.
"Partis Temporus!"
Yu Zhuanjin stretched out his hands to summon the divine fire.
——The God of Fire leads the way!
This raging flame can burn everything.
