Miss Zashiki

Fu Xiaoyue took Inugami and Jiumingmao beside him, and entered Qiangwei Island with the drug seller.

Since Kaifangzhu refused to disclose any more information on the island, they chose one of the remaining two domains, which was only the result of pointing them out purely through counting soldiers.

In fact, Fu Xiaoyue even suspected—the drug seller himself didn’t know much about the island—he probably just knew that this was an island of monsters, and then he came here so stupidly and bluntly.

-

"Mr. Yaolang, it is of course a good thing that you want to kill monsters, but you can't be so impulsive. Even if this is the first time, we will accompany you to be stupid for a while. If you encounter this situation again in the future , you'd better think it over carefully, don't you think?"

"Are you thinking—'I didn't ask you to follow me'—but you saved the lives of me and the dog god, and I saved the life of the nine-lived cat, so in the final analysis, the three of us You saved my life. Now, although I don’t know what you humans are like, we monsters are very affectionate. Seeing you so reckless and breaking into the island alone, how can we live with our conscience? Are you right?"

"In short, when you come here this time, you should just experience the thrill of slaying monsters. We'll leave after we're done. Well, the four of us work together, and we should always be able to pass a level... Demon Fox, White Wolf, Umibozu, the three of them are just SRs, so they can single out this dungeon. You are an SSR, so there is no problem! But still the same sentence, it is best for us to pass through the level peacefully, and try not to fight if we can... Are you right?"

……

Both sides are full of lush jungle vegetation, Fu Xiaoyue buried his head behind the drug seller, walking forward on his footsteps, without even glancing around, while chanting non-stop.

She muttered all the way, except for Inugami and Jiumingmao who followed behind her from left to right, who would obediently nod after each sentence of "Is that right?" The drug seller in front of her did not give any words any response.

However, Fu Xiaoyue didn't want to get any definite response in the first place, she was just nagging her to divert her attention.

Since entering the island, there have been dense jungles along the way. Except for the rustling footsteps between them, there is not even a trace of movement from any other living things, including the singing of birds and insects—even Even every leaf of every plant is still, as if even the wind will not stop here.

In some cases, the unknown has become the scariest thing.Every step I take, I have to worry about the next second, and I don't know where the blow of the monster will hit.

So, walking and walking, the team of four people walking side by side gradually shifted into a triangle at some point, and Fu Xiaoyue tacitly nestled in the innermost part surrounded by the triangular phalanx.

If it wasn't a little embarrassing, what she actually wanted to ask the drug seller was: can she hide in the box?

After rambling and chatting alone for a long time, she was already at a loss for words. When she thought of the box, she subconsciously raised her eyes and took a look.

As a result, at this glance, Fu Xiaoyue widened his eyes in horror—the drug seller in front of him silently stopped at some point, so at the moment when it was too late to stop, The medicine box that made her miss her heart was about to hit her forehead in the next second.

"Ow—!"

She screamed instinctively, but she didn't actually bump into it.At the last moment, two monsters behind her grabbed her shoulders, stopping her inertial rush forward.

The whole demon queen was afraid for a while, but when Fu Xiaoyue saw the drug seller standing still in front of him, something was wrong again in his heart, he hesitated and cautiously poked his head out from behind him: "...Mr. Yaolang? Why? gone?"

But they saw a few meters in front of them, in front of a bush that looked nothing special like other places, there was a whole body of white object blocking their way forward.

— Has the first monster finally appeared! ?

Fu Xiaoyue subconsciously flashed this idea in his mind, but after a closer look, he found that the thing was just a stone lion.

Although it was very strange why this kind of thing appeared in this place, but realizing that there was no need to fight for the time being, Fu Xiaoyue was finally slightly relieved.

The drug seller in front of him might have thought of this too, so he started walking again and approached the stone lion until he stopped a meter away from it.

Fu Xiao saw him staring at the thing silently yesterday, with a calm and indifferent look on his face, and nothing unusual could be seen, so after shrinking behind him for a while, he couldn't help but curiously stepped forward, up, down, left, and right. Carefully looked at the stone statue that suddenly appeared.

The shape and workmanship of the whole lion is far from fine, and it is obviously not the work of a famous artist.From the material point of view, compared with ordinary stone lions carved from a whole block of rock, this one is more like stacked with some kind of fine sand powder material, showing a delicate and well-proportioned off-white as a whole.

The more Fu Xiaoyue looked at it, the more weird he felt. Just as he was about to move closer, a deep voice came from in front of him like the ringing of a bell: "Where is the little dwarf—get out!"

"..."

He was stunned by this face-to-face personal attack, and it wasn't until Inugami and Jiumingmao blocked him that Fu Xiaoyue was a few beats behind to react—was this thing talking just now?

Thinking of this, she looked uncertainly from the gap between the two demons in front of her again, and happened to meet the hollow pupils on the stone lion's face.This time, she clearly saw the opening and closing of the opponent's mouth:

"Little dwarf."

——God!It turned out to be the first monster!

After howling in her heart, she realized a problem: just now, it seemed, it seemed, that she had received two tons of ridicule one after another.

Having come to his senses, Fu Xiaoyue immediately sneered at the corner of his mouth, "You——you're already dead."

After finishing speaking, she took one in each hand, grabbed Inugami and Jiumingmao, and jumped back neatly together, and shouted in a clear voice: "Close the door! Fang Yaolang!"

The drug seller silently lowered his eyes, staring at her coldly.

Thinking of something, Fu Xiaoyue gave another clear ah, took out something from the small package on his back, threw it towards him, raised his right arm, spread his five fingers into a palm, and aimed at him from the air, with a look of Perseverance, resolute voice, and loud——

"Seal! Seal! Release! Remove! Go! Medicine seller!"

The drug seller looked at the Exorcism Sword in his hand, and there was a bit of confusion in Xiuli's eyes.After a long time, I heard him slowly say:

"If you don't want to fight, try your best not to fight."

Easily filtering out the undisguised sarcasm in the other party's flat voice, Fu Xiaoyue nodded with relief, and said to him: "Very good, it's rare that you can listen to what I said. But I Just now I forgot to add one point: one moment, the other moment, is tolerable or unbearable."

Hearing this, for a long while, the young man didn't speak any more, but shook his head slightly with a rather unpredictable face.He took a step forward, and raised his left hand holding the demon-removing sword to his eyes, his cold eyes showed a little loneliness again.

Facing the lion statue in front of him, he said word by word: "Things that shouldn't exist in the world, your truth and reason, please come together one by one."

-

Fu Xiaoyue had a deep suspicion that his team might have been lucky enough to choose a simple mode dungeon for rewarding points.

Because, after the medicine seller's question just now, this stone lion really took all of his family property without reservation.

It turned out that it was just a stone statue built to guard the area at first, and later it was infected with the obsession with sticking to the area and fell into a demon. It has always been committed to preventing outsiders from trespassing here.

Clearly seeing the three teeth closing one by one on the scabbard of the Exorcism Sword, Fu Xiaoyao immediately clenched his fist and waved the flag beside him, shouting: "Hey! What a superficial and ignorant truth! Come on, Mr. Yaolang! Slash it!"

However, the pharmacist in that box had a pensive look on his face. He stared at the stone statue that stood still and couldn't escape for a long time, then slowly raised his right hand, holding the sword hilt firmly between his pale fingers: " …with this form and truth, draw out the demon-repelling sword and cut you off.”

——Almost the moment the sword body touched the stone statue, the entire lion statue was shattered, and thousands of gray-white powders were scattered all over the ground.

"Wow! Awesome!"

Fu Xiaoyue was so generous yesterday, he slapped his belly (crossed out) and clapped his hands at the side at the first time, and looked at him with a smile at the same time: "—Sure enough, following Mr. Yaolang is the right choice, The Exorcism Sword came in handy so quickly, is it fun? Are you happy?"

Silently looking at the remnants on the ground, the medicine seller's expression was a little dazed at first, but then he became calm.

Seeing that look, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help being taken aback: "...Is there something wrong?"

The other party didn't answer, but the Nine Life Cat next to her murmured in bewilderment: "It's so simple and it's over? It's too easy to deal with standing still..."

——Is it because the slaying went too smoothly, that's why you think it's strange?

But Fu Xiaoyue knew that once the truth was found out, the power of the Exorcism Sword was indeed a must-kill move that could be called an instant kill for monsters.

On a certain day before, the little balances secretly brought the demon-repelling sword hidden in the dark compartment of the box, and wanted to give it to her for safekeeping.At that time, out of strangeness, she tried to communicate with them in an abstract and idealistic way, and then she was basically sure——

Just as she had guessed, the drug seller had never successfully used the Demon Repelling Sword to kill monsters before. In other words, in this world, he really needed to consume "wild fire" to exert the power of the Demon Repelling Sword.

In other words, the current stone statue should be the No. 1 monster killed by the medicine seller—in fact, it was precisely because of this concern that she followed into the island.

——So, is it the first time that he successfully used the Demon Exorcism Sword, and was overwhelmed by surprise for a while?

However, seeing the dignified expression of the other party staring down at the ground all the time, she always feels a little weird in her heart, and faintly feels that she has missed some information.

...wait a minute.

wrong.

After staring at the pile of powder for a while, Fu Xiaoyue finally discovered the problem.

Since just now, she seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding——

When he was outside the island, Hideki Kuroba once hinted that the island is full of monsters.Therefore, when she saw this stone lion monster just now, she subconsciously regarded it as a "monster".

However, judging from the "formal truth" it just provided, this stone statue is clearly just an ordinary monster, without any trace of "resentment".Even from the beginning to the end, although it firmly stated that it wanted to prevent them from entering this domain, in fact, it never took any actions with substantial malicious intent.

After thinking about it in this way, Fu Xiaoyue felt that if he had guessed correctly, that stone statue was not only an ordinary monster, but also belonged to the lowest level of monsters—originally inanimate objects, just because of chance. If you become a demon because of the cause and effect of the human world, you will only exist in the world for that cause and effect, and you may not even have a complete and independent thinking idea.

——To put it bluntly, it should be an N card in the game.

So, the current situation has become: a monster that is clearly not a monster, but was indeed killed by the demon-repelling sword that can only kill monsters...

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyue already felt a mess in his head.She was about to ask for help from a certain boss in front of her, when she saw that the other person's eyes had moved away from the scars of the stone statue on the ground, and instead raised her eyes and looked forward.

After looking over, he saw that what the drug seller was looking at was the dense bushes that were blocked by the stone statue earlier.

By the way - Fu Xiaoyue suddenly recalled something again - the stone statue said before that its duty is to guard this area and prevent outsiders from entering.

- prevent entry.

... At this point, Fu Xiaoyue widened his eyes slightly, and a very absurd idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

Before, they walked for so long without bumping into a single monster. Could it be because...in fact, they haven't officially entered the dungeon yet... right?

Could it be that the gap between the bushes is the real entrance to this domain?

With the sound of "Zheng", the drug seller put his sword back into its sheath, and the original solemn eyebrows and eyes have returned to complete calm:

"No, it's that simple."
