A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 46 More Ghouls

Just when Asai Nagamasa tentatively asked about the strange thing that had just happened to her, Axiu's face was blank, and she obviously knew nothing about it.

Seeing Hime Takeshi Axiu's condition stabilized, and Asai Nagamasa was also very interested in her, he rolled his eyes, so he occasionally interjected a few words, and in a few words, it showed that it was he who secretly gave her The other party sent a letter and agreed to meet in Shisanying Village.

Only then did Ji Warrior Axiu realize that it was the guy in front of her who called her out of the village where she had been living in seclusion.

Did he know that there was a monster here, so he specifically called him here?
It's a pity that she doesn't have time to solve the mystery in her heart, because besides the three of them, there are other beings present.

With a violent swipe, after stirring up broken branches and petals all over the sky, the magical flames released by Asai Nagamasa were forcibly extinguished. It seemed that the other party had adopted a method similar to a strong man cutting off his wrist to save himself.

Asai Nagamasa immediately tightened his grip on the long sword, Hime Bushi Hideya raised her two-meter-long mechanical scythe that could change its form, and Tokichiro immediately jumped behind the two people.

There was no other way, although he had some adventures, so he dared to think about standing out and becoming a majestic warrior, but he was the weakest in the room, so he had better hide behind him.

"Ah, damn humans, how dare you destroy my precious body!"

Following the hoarse female voice, an old and ugly face gradually appeared on the trunk of the largest cherry blossom tree.

Although it can barely be distinguished as a female face, its glowing green eyes and the green ghost horns that are as long as one finger will definitely not let anyone misunderstand its identity. She is undoubtedly A real monster, a monster transformed from a cherry blossom tree.

Seeing the monster glaring at everyone fiercely, Tokichiro next to him suddenly widened his eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment, although since that encounter, he knew that the world was more complicated than he had ever known. It was much more mysterious, but he never imagined that a tree could actually talk!

And, these eyes.
Fujiyoshiro couldn't help but subconsciously look at the slender figure a few meters away from him. Just now, the other person's eyes had turned green. Is this really just a simple coincidence?

Although he is indeed interested in the power she possesses, if it is that kind of power, can it really be used by him?

The old face on the tree trunk was very ugly, and his eyes were very fierce, especially when it waved branches all over the sky. Those branches were twisting like snakes, almost covering hundreds of square meters of sky, and casting large rays of light on the ground. The shadow looks powerful.

But Asai Nagamasa didn't have the slightest fear: "A cherry tree demon? Why, don't you pretend to be? Horse-headed ghosts, ghouls, everything that happened in this village, and the strange thing on Axiu just now, are probably all caused by you Is it crazy?"

Although his tone was questioning, Asai Nagamasa had actually confirmed his guess.

Ji Ji, who had always been expressionless next to her, couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this. The feeling of being out of control really disgusted her.

However, having learned from the past, she did not rush forward recklessly. Anyway, they were far away from each other now. Unless the cherry blossom demon could pull out its own roots and use them as legs to walk, its branches and leaves would not be able to spread anyway. Got here.

"Ah, damn humans, it's you who dared to kill the horse-headed ghost I finally created. You ruined my plan, how should I explain to the adults?!"

"grown ups?"

Asai Nagamasa immediately focused all his attention. The Sakura Tree Demon, which can create a horse-headed ghost and transform Axiu into a monster, already possesses considerable power. So how powerful will the adult she talks about be? ?

"Who is the lord you are talking about?"

Axiu and Tokichiro next to them also looked at each other attentively. They both realized that something was serious. The monster was originally just a legend, but now it seems that there are unknown people who are trying to create monsters!
But the Sakura Tree Demon didn't answer them. It just looked at a few people with hatred. Just by scanning their eyes, the resentment in them made Tokichiro feel a slight chill on his skin, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. .

"You ruined the master's plan, you all deserve to die, all become my nourishment!"

As the cherry tree demon waved its branches crazily, in the surprised eyes of several people, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding cherry trees were also affected, waving their branches and leaves together like living creatures.Asai Nagamasa immediately pulled Axiu, turned around and began to retreat. The area covered by the roots of this cherry tree demon seemed to be wider than he imagined!
Although Axiu had some intentions towards the Sakura tree demon who tried to control her before, she was not a fool. When she saw the situation, she knew it was best to retreat first.

As for Tokichiro, he didn't need two people to remind him. He took the lead and ran away.

Although he has not shown any fighting ability before, he is still alive and kicking when he sells precious gold gems alone. He even hooked up with the "Mino Viper" line, which is enough to show that he is absolutely perfect in terms of luck and ability. Not too bad.

After retreating another hundred or so meters, Asai Nagamasa stopped when he saw that there were no more cherry blossom trees nearby.

But before he could say anything, a small lump of earth suddenly bulged out from the ground dozens of meters away, and then a sharp green claw pierced the ground very abruptly.

Then came more claws.

In less than ten breaths, more than three hundred ghouls with red and green mucus on their bodies, hideous faces, and thin bodies had lifted up the heavy soil and emerged from the ground.

The mucus looked very similar to the mucus on the wound of the Sakura Dryad before. When Nagamasa Asai thought about it for a moment, he immediately felt a little sick, followed by uncontrollable anger.

No wonder the Sakura Tree Demon wanted them to become its nutrients. No wonder in such a large village of a thousand people, he had only seen less than one-fifth of the corpses transformed into ghouls before. Even if Axiu came all the way, he would definitely kill him. Even if we add the more than 300 corpses in front of us, it is still far behind the original population of 1000 in Shisanying Village.

Except for those who escaped by chance, most of the local villagers were probably buried underground by the Sakura Dryad and turned into nutrients for it.

There have been similar records in Abe Seimei's inheritance, and many tree demons have similar abilities.

This is also why its sap is the color mixed with blood, and most of the corpses in front of them are thin and don't seem to be very powerful in combat.

After the many ghouls were summoned from the ground by the cherry blossom tree demon, they did not immediately attack Asai Nagamasa and the others, but just stared at them with their green eyes.

Fujiyoshiro was immediately frightened and trembled all over, and even Nagamasa Asai felt a little scared for a moment.

Although he has killed a lot of ghouls before, he also knows that most of the ghouls in front of him are relatively weak, but some emotions are actually not completely under his control.

Possessed by the Yellow Dragon, he was almost fearless. His heart was full of courage, but his body was desperately warning him to leave here as soon as possible.

Just like reaching into a burning flame, after feeling the burning pain, your body will take action faster than your brain to avoid greater harm.

No matter how weak these ghouls are, their numbers are there. If these hundreds of ghouls swarm him, he will probably have only one end if he doesn't run away.

On the other hand, Axiu was standing on his right. Although her hand holding the weapon had light veins and blood vessels, proving that she was also very nervous, her expression still did not change at all, and there was no trace of fear. .

This couldn't help but make him more interested in her past and her true identity.

What kind of growing environment can create such a woman?

　Is there something wrong with calling me a traitor?
