[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

Before the monster with a rather strange skeleton had time to get closer to the Tibetan horse, it was lightly thrown by the quick-reacting Diarmuiduo's spear, and it was killed on the spot with a single shot!

"It seems to be a species that has never been seen before, my lord."

Going forward to investigate carefully, he confirmed that there was no such thing as a biological figure in the knowledge reserve that he had in his lifetime or instilled in his mind when he reappeared after death. The spearman turned his head and said to Zangma .

Hearing the words, Yaohu slightly raised his eyebrows without showing any emotion——

A breed you haven't seen before?

This is something new.

You know, Diarmuid himself was born in a somewhat mysterious age of mythology.In such an era, it is not surprising that there are no matter how strange creatures exist.

And when the chief knight of the Fiona Knights became a heroic spirit and reappeared in response to the call of the magician and the Holy Grail, what was infused into his mind by the Holy Grail was not only the so-called common sense of the world, but It contains many aspects of knowledge—otherwise, what reason do heroic spirits of different eras have to hide their identities from each other?If the other party lived in an era that was before him/her, then he/she should have no reason to know the name of a person who was active in the world after his/her death, so it is even more impossible Learn about your own fighting style, abilities and even weaknesses.

Of course, most of the magicians who are masters have family background, and those who know something about the Holy Grail War are even more familiar with the Heroic Spirits, but it is like Caster's Master Rain in the Holy Grail War that Kurama strayed into. Like Iku Ryunosuke, magicians who don't know anything about heroic spirits but have been selected by the Holy Grail have never appeared in previous Holy Grail Wars, so the heroic spirits have been instilled with many things that can help them quickly understand their opponents through their real names. Of course, the knowledge of life, combat power, and even weakness has become a matter of course.

But now, it is such a heroic spirit who has been imbued with a lot of unscientific knowledge by the Holy Grail, but tells Kurama that the monster in front of him is a species he has never seen before.

This is really... very interesting.

While all kinds of thoughts flashed through Yaohu's mind, his subordinates gently stroked the soft fur of the white dumpling in his arms.

——Speaking of this time, their foothold after being thrown out of the space-time channel is quite good.

In the deep mountains and old forests, with few people, compared to the duel field where Tsunayoshi and Liudaokuo directly fell into the duel field in the tutoring era, or the live version of almost bumping into a certain two people in the hunter era, I don’t know how much luckier it is.

Although he was attacked immediately after he landed, except for the strange bones mentioned earlier, the attacker...

Really is not enough to see.

Zang Masi curled his lips at this point, and after giving his capable Servant a smile of appreciation, he did not express his previous thoughts, but turned his head and looked at the black-haired lover with an indifferent expression beside him : "Hades?"

Pluto tilted his head slightly when he heard the sound, and shook his head at him.

"No trace of human activity was found nearby."

Zangma couldn't help but feel a little surprised for a moment when he heard the words - in terms of the perception range of Hades' divine sense, the "nearby" in his mouth is not really just nearby in the usual sense.

In this "nearby" range, which is at least measured in units of hundreds of kilometers, there is no human habitation at all, which means...

"It seems that this time, I really came to a very interesting place."

Scratching Mokona's soft chin, squinting his eyes amid the little guy's cheerful laughter, a strange premonition that was not so clear appeared in Yaohu's heart.

***

On the third day after entering this world, Zangma and his party found a... um, a village under the guidance of Dandelion, the demon world?

Although this was the result of Zangma's deliberate slowing down of his itinerary - after more than a week of rushing in the K world, he felt that he really needed a slow-paced life to adjust, but even so with their The footsteps of this group of people took three days to see people, which shows how sparsely populated the world they are in at this time, or should I say——

barren?

Standing on a high cliff overlooking the dire and dilapidated small village at the foot of the mountain from top to bottom, Rao Zangma knew that it was not advisable to do cross-sections, but for a moment, he couldn't help doubting himself. This time, I really came to a world with an extremely underdeveloped civilization——

The overly large mountains and lush forests, earthen houses, coarse cloth, and the villagers who cultivated the fields next to the village with the oldest and backward human methods look a bit like ancient China, but A hairstyle that I always feel is wrong when I take a closer look, and... the unscientific colorful hair color that Kurama is almost used to (it always exists no matter which world he travels to)...

Silently turning his face away, Yaohu suddenly didn't want to enter this village that appeared in front of them after "hard work".

Hades on the side obviously noticed the lover's emotions earlier than anyone else.

"Don't want to go in?"

He leaned over and whispered in Tibetan horse's ear.

Yaohu nodded subconsciously, "I always feel that this village..."

It doesn't give a good impression.

It’s not that there is any danger lurking there—in fact, there are really not many things that can threaten Zangma now, especially with a great god like Hades by his side. After recovering all the monster power, it is already ridiculously high, plus Hades... no matter how dangerous the world is, it probably won't be called dangerous for Kurama—it's another, more dangerous world. An uncomfortable feeling, like...

"It's the 'death energy' from those people."

Before Zama could think of a suitable adjective, Thanadus spoke up first.

The black-haired Grim Reaper leaned lazily on the shoulders of his brother behind him, and in his slightly lowered gaze, there was a hint of aloofness and cold indifference that Kurama hadn't seen in him for a long time.

"Although these people are still alive, their bodies have already been tainted with a strong smell of death." Seeing Zangma looking at him, Thanadus withdrew his gaze and turned to meet the gaze of the demon fox: "Perhaps it is Not long ago, maybe not long after, a catastrophe happened or will happen here."

——Obviously, it was a thoughtless statement, which fully proved that the cold indifference in Danatus' eyes just now was not an illusion of Zangma.

Some wondered why the other party suddenly seemed to be inexplicably picking up the airs of the god of death again, and seemed to be subtly uncomfortable. Kurama was about to ask aloud, but the Hades beside him gently held the palm of his hand...

"Hades?"

Pluto shook his head at him.

"Leave here first."

"……Well."

Although he didn't know what happened, but his intuition seemed to be serious, Yaohu nodded obediently, and let his lover pull him away from the cliff.

Thanadus, who looked unhappy, and Hypnos, who walked side by side with him with a smile on his face, followed closely behind them in silence.

Since the beginning, he noticed that the atmosphere was different, but Diarmuid, who saw that his Master was the same, had a snow hare shikigami sitting on his left and right shoulders, and also followed behind Kurama with long legs. Inadvertently looking back at the small village that was blocked by the cliff and could no longer be seen, the spearman raised his hand and rubbed the slightly trembling bodies of the two little rabbits on his shoulders——

Do Xuan and Cui both feel it?

... "dead breath"?

***

After the group of people walked a long enough distance—at least a distance so that Thanadus would not make a bad face again—Hades finally stopped gradually.

"The aftermath of the frontal impact probably affected here."

He spoke inexplicably.

Zangma was not in a hurry to ask for an explanation, but turned to look at Thanadus——

It seems that among them, Danadus is the only one who will be "influenced" by Hades?

Reaper nodded sullenly.

"Only when you face the aborigines directly can you realize this kind of rule... What the hell is going on in this world!"

He said with hatred.

Cangma blinked his eyes when he heard the words, and became more and more puzzled.

"What rules?"

He asked very modestly when he didn't understand.

Thanadus gave him a weak look, "What else do you think can affect my emotions like this? Apart from the rules about 'death'?"

"what……"

Tibetan horse suddenly realized.

No wonder Thanadus' reaction was so abnormal just now. It seems... this guy felt that his authority as a god of death had been challenged—even though he was a foreign god of death, what "provoked" him was his local death rules ╮(╯▽╰)╭ "The law of death in this world is too strange." Thanadus was still complaining depressingly, "These people will not enter the underworld after death, but directly turn into some kind of medium to go to the underworld." Nourish some specific plants, but there are still some people who can transcend death!"

"Although there is always a time limit, but..."

When the length of life of an ordinary person can be suddenly changed and extended to an unforeseen extent through some method, as a fairly high-level deity whose priesthood is death, Thanadus' understanding of his priesthood is still limited. Not a small shock!

Although I learned from Zangma that the strength of power can help people prolong life in some worlds, it is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes, and... I saw a corner of the law directly through the strong death energy, such The impact was really too big for Thanadus.

After getting a more detailed explanation from Hades, the demon fox looked at Thanadus with some sympathy, and decided that since the other party was already in such a miserable state, he would not care about sleeping in the jungle again because of him—— Anyway, with the plants of his family, even in the wild mountains and forests, the demon fox can still live comfortably.

So the tent was set up, the bonfire was lit, the twin gods were kicked away to hunt the meat ingredients for the night, and the spearmen were also spoiled by Bai Tuanzi to pick delicious unknown fruits. In the gradually dimming night, The demon fox and Pluto sit cuddled together.

The starry sky above was unexpectedly bright, and the two of them sat quietly together, and the atmosphere was just right.

Yaohu turned his head slightly, staring at the profile of his lover who was close at hand.

Under the starlight, Pluto's almost perfect profile looks unbelievably soft...

So Kurama approached slowly.

just a little bit...

Seeing that the lips of the two people were getting closer and closer, and were about to overlap, suddenly, a strange sound like a baby crying faintly came from deeper in the forest.

The fox's movements paused.

"Shall we... go and see?"

He sat up straight, and proposed with a smile to his lover, whose face was a little darker.

Hades stood up expressionlessly.

At a certain moment, Kurama almost thought that there was a layer of black flames as deep as night floating on his lover... =▽＝

The two moved quickly, and a few minutes later, they had followed the baby's cries they had heard before to an open forest clearing.

However, what was waiting for the two people in the invisible state was not a crying baby, but a black-haired youth who seemed to be frightened and wearing a common student uniform, and... a shaky, silver-white horse His beautiful mane was covered with blood stains, and under the moonlight, his whole body exuded a soft and beautiful halo...

unicorn?

Subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and saw another white "unicorn" slowly walking out of the shadows of the jungle, and the later one stretched out the unicorn with a strange metal ring on it to the unknown. For some reason, the horn of the previous one seemed to have become extremely weak, and when a series of mysterious patterns were engraved on that horn, Kurama suddenly felt blessed, and realized where this place was——

The shadow of the moon, the sea of ​​shadows.

Here... are the Twelve Kingdoms.
