It is a very long journey from Kinki to Hokkaido.

Although it is said that both the big tengu and the guhuo bird can fly, doing so will undoubtedly consume their demon power, and the loss of demon power cannot be recovered immediately. Sometimes, Yukie will let everyone stay in one place and take a rest.

The dry food that she carried with her had been eaten up long ago. These days, she ate some fruits in the forest and drank clear water. Xue Hui felt that her mouth could not feel any taste.

Big Tengu and Guhuo Bird thought she liked to eat these fruits, until one day when they found the fruit in Xuee's mouth, their eyes kept squinting at a certain place in the forest.

She took a bite of the sour fruit, then her eyes wandered, her mind was filled with images of big fish and big meat.

For a person who loves flesh and blood, this kind of life is almost more sad than death.

In this game world, she hardly felt any enjoyment of taste.

But the kind-hearted Guhuo Niao seemed to understand the desire in her eyes. Before she couldn't bear to catch rabbits to eat, she went to the forest to find some prey in silence. The food was fresh water from the beginning. Wild berries turned into roasted animal carcasses.

Once again, she felt the considerate care from Gu Huo Niao.

When I thought I would arrive in Hokkaido soon, an accident happened.

Seeing that she could reach the Lord of Arakawa's location across the forest, but Yukie saw that the Guhuo bird in front of her seemed to have stopped, she hesitated for a moment, and then flew in the direction of Ootengu and her come over.

"Did something happen before?"

Snow painted asked.

A puzzled expression appeared on Guhuo Niao's face: "Master Xuee, I don't know why, the forest in front of me seems to be surrounded by an enchantment, and it is impossible to fly through it at all."

Prajna was thoughtful: "I guess, is it because we used the demon power to disturb the owner of this forest that he resisted our passage?"

After all, this kind of situation has never been encountered before, and the only thing that can be explained is this possibility.

The power division of monsters is very clear. In a certain monster's territory, if you wantonly use your monster power to do certain things, it will usually be regarded as a provocative act by the other party.

In a way, the behavior of monsters is actually very similar to that of animals.

Ootengu also agreed with this point. Although he is arrogant by nature, he obeyed these basic rules very much, so he suggested in a flat tone: "Master Yukie, forcibly breaking through will only cause unnecessary trouble. I think we We must walk through this forest."

Xue Hui glanced at the lush green that spread densely to the horizon, and said with some hesitation: "If you walk by two legs, how long will it take..."

This is another question.

Just looking at this forest with the naked eye can tell how big it covers, but if you don't...

Gu Huo Niao said again: "It's not impossible to break through by force, but the barrier is very powerful. I tried it just now, but any attack with demon power will bounce back as it is, although the barrier is indeed broken. traces of it, but it was quickly repaired."

"So I was thinking, if the four of us work together to break through this enchantment? But just now my experiment shows that this is very possible, but the rebounding force is enough to seriously injure us..."

After Gu Huoniao's analysis, Xuehui quickly stated: "Then, let's go down first, maybe there is another way."

However, when everyone was about to land, she suddenly remembered something, so she turned her head and asked, "If the owner of this forest can be found, can he agree to let us pass?"

Big Tengu shook his head: "I didn't feel the breath of that monster. I think he shouldn't be here."

Xue Hui could only dispel her own thoughts.

Seeing Xuee seemed a little worried, Ootengu said: "Master Yukie, I have been here before, so I know the way out of here."

The owner of this forest is not here, but that enchantment has no consciousness of its own and cannot communicate at all. It is only used to resist possible intruders.

It seems that I still have to walk on my legs.

Entering from the entrance of the forest is like opening the door to a new world.

The light in the forest is a bit dim, but today is undoubtedly a sunny day outside.The towering trees in the forest, with their thick branches stretched out, have the effect of covering the sky and the sun, and the dots of light are scattered from the gaps in the fine leaves, which has a sense of tranquil beauty.

Stepping on the thick moss on the ground, Yukie breathed in the indescribably mixed atmosphere of the forest, and found that everyone was surprisingly quiet.

Because each has its own concerns.

Banruo was thinking about what Gu Huo Niao had told him before, but Gu Huo Nuo was thinking about Zashiki Boy who was hidden in a safe place by her. She hadn't seen him for a few days, and she wanted to return to that child quickly.

And the big tengu thought of the experience of coming here last time.

Because it is necessary to pass through this forest to reach the territory of the Lord of Arakawa, he has come here many years ago.

He remembered that the owner of this forest was a...

As soon as I recalled what happened at that time, I heard a crackling sound, as if something was broken.

He raised his head, just in time to see that Xue Hui seemed to be stepping on something.

Xue Hui originally thought that she should have stepped on a dead branch and fallen leaves, but when she looked down, she saw a thin bamboo tube among the thick dead branches and fallen leaves.

Bamboo pipe?

She picked up something on the ground curiously, but just when her hand was about to touch it, the big tengu's pupils constricted, and subconsciously called out: "Don't touch it!"

And pulled her behind the trunk of a big tree on the side.

Gu Huo Niao and Ban Ruo also heard it, and they were also aware of the danger, so they also hid in a relatively hidden position.

Then a burst of red gas flames spewed out from the thin hole of the bamboo tube, towards the position of Xuehua just now, and then exploded in mid-air, resounding through the narrow space.

Xuehui didn't expect that an ordinary bamboo pipe would hide a mystery. She couldn't help guessing that if she didn't hide just now, the consequences would have been terrible. At this time, the voice of the big tengu rang in her ears: "This seems to be Guanhu. .”

Guhuo Niao came out, and she nodded: "That's right, it's Guanhu. It should have mistakenly thought that Master Xue'e was going to attack him, so it reacted like this."

If he met ordinary people, Guanhu would never do this. It was all because of the abundant spiritual power in Xuehui that he was so scared.

Sure enough, after hearing what they said, a little fox appeared out of the thin bamboo hole at some point. It was white all over, with golden ears, and looked very naive and cute.

But Xue Hui knew that this little fox didn't want to be as unaggressive as it seemed.

Just when she was about to speak, Xue'e who just took a step closer, thought for a while and then retreated, saw this little fox and said, "You...you..."

It seemed so surprised that it couldn't even speak clearly. When it saw the big tengu, Guhuo bird, Hannya, its body trembled unconsciously, and finally saw Xuee, and its eyes showed fear look.

Before Xue'e could explain, it ran away in a flash.

"What is Guanhu doing so fast?" Xuehui was a little depressed.

Gu Huo Niao sighed: "It should be your spiritual power, Mr. Xue E, that frightened it."

Is it really?

Xue'e couldn't believe it.

But this small episode did not interrupt their action, but when they walked for about half an hour, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the forest.

It was already noon at this time, and it was a sunny day outside, but there was fog in the forest. It was impossible to think about it.

Clearly, something was preventing them from passing through the forest.

But everyone didn't care at first, because they could still see each other, but in the end, the fog was so thick that they couldn't even see each other's faces.

And the duration of this mist is very long.

Can't see the situation around, and the big tengu can't lead the way anymore.

This has reached the point where it cannot go any further.

So everyone decided to stop first, so as not to get lost.

Daitengu stretched out his hand and held her tightly. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Yukie heard his voice with a bit of nervousness: "Master Yukie, hold me tight."

Xuehui didn't know what he wanted to do, but in the next second, it seemed that an arm was around her waist. The big tengu rose into the sky, and a violent storm fell from the sky. This strong wind temporarily blew away the surrounding white mist , the road ahead gradually became clear.

So it can be like this?

She was a little stunned, but before she could be happy for a while, she saw Hannya and Guhuo Niao who followed behind herself and the big tengu disappeared.

An ominous premonition arose in Xue Hui's heart. She wanted to summon them, but found that the connection between herself and Shikigami seemed to be broken. Looking at the big tengu, she couldn't calm down: "I, I can't summon Prajna and Shikigami. I caught the bird!"

If the connection between Shikigami and Onmyoji is broken, there is only one possibility, that is, they are dead.

But in this short period of time, could it be that Guhuo Niao and Banruo have been unknowingly eliminated by the things in this weird forest?

Xuehui didn't want to guess this possibility, but she couldn't calmly think about the reason, her mind was full of sadness and anger.

A flash of surprise flashed across Ootengu's face, and he tried to calm down Yukie-sama: "Yukie-sama, maybe this is not what happened to them... Can you still use spells if you try?"

When Xue Hui heard this sentence, she was suddenly enlightened, her face gradually calmed down, and she chanted the spell as usual, but something surprising happened.

All the spiritual power in her body seemed to have disappeared!

But at this moment, the mist that was blown away by the wind just now quietly filled the whole surrounding area. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the face of the big tengu disappear in the mist.

Yukie grasped Ootengu's hand tightly.

"Don't let go..."

She murmured silently, not knowing why, once she thought of not having him by her side, she felt a burst of fear.

What's more, the sense of security that was already insufficient in my heart.

But no matter how much she begged, she never heard a response.

The hands that were tightly grasped suddenly disappeared without knowing when.

She just felt that her hands were empty all of a sudden.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness around her, like a terrifying scene in Silent Hill, she could only see herself, alone.

Xue Hui stood in place for a long time, and she didn't take a step until her feet became numb.

She couldn't hear anything except the occasional noise that made her hair stand on end.

And, you can also hear your own heartbeat getting faster and faster.

I don't know how long it took.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that there was another person beside her, with a familiar aura about her.

"Is it a big tengu?"

She couldn't bear the fear in her heart anymore, and reached out and grabbed the man's skirt.

Hearing her voice, that person wanted to say something but didn't speak. He seemed to hesitate a bit: "Datian...dog?"

And her hand had already reached his face, as if she was very excited to feel the facial features of the man in front of her.

The fog seems to have lightened a little.

Yuki's face was so close to that person's that she could even feel his burning breath.

She finally saw who the guy in front of her was.

"How could it be you?!"

The big monster in red and white armor showed a confused expression on his handsome face, he seemed to be immersed in the matter of Yukie mistaking him for a big tengu.

After hearing Xue Hui's words, she said awkwardly, as if trying to convince herself: "Finally... no, I want to say that I am looking for you, a woman, for a very important matter."
