The words were barely out of his mouth when nothing happened.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could even sit down, the relief she had just felt suddenly vanished.
A pair of bright red eyes lit up in the dark, dense forest.
There were six pairs in total, each the size of a fist, looking like red lanterns burning with will-o'-the-wisps, with vertical pupils that symbolized predators, silently gnawing away at the girl's last bit of courage.
A faint, nauseating, fishy stench lingered in the air, proving that the other party was no vegetarian.
The red-glowing eyes didn't pounce immediately; instead, they slowly approached the girl, enveloping her and gradually shrinking the encirclement to create intense psychological pressure.
He seemed to have her completely under his thumb.
Chapter 325 The White Wolf That Came in Pursuit
As the monsters drew closer, the flickering firelight revealed their true forms.
Messy brown fur, sharp fangs, constantly dripping saliva, and a posture that resembles a human standing upright.
What appeared before the girl were six giant monkeys, each taller than a person, with fangs and sharp teeth!
Although there aren't many monsters in Okusanyama, that's only in comparison; in reality, it's still quite dangerous.
Otherwise, the Guhuoniao wouldn't have had to beg and plead to find a way to set up a barrier.
Although Xia Yan had gathered the monsters in the mountains and eliminated those that did not obey him, these were only "monsters" with reason, not "beasts" that had no reason at all.
After all, apart from being stronger, their lifestyle is basically no different from that of wild animals.
However, their nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary animals, and who knows when they might give birth to rational and normal monsters, so they can be considered as Xia Yan's reserve soldiers.
Nature should not be harmed indiscriminately.
As for whether keeping those monsters alive would pose a danger...
Any rational demon, even without taking human form, is stronger than these monsters.
As for the mindless monsters, apart from Itsumade, who was kept in the shrine as an ornamental bird, the other monsters could not be considered Xia Yan's subordinates, so it didn't matter if they fought each other.
However, Xia Yan inadvertently overlooked the safety issues related to humans.
After all, the children in the shrine don't go out, and there are hardly any people around, so Xia Yan never considered that anyone would come to the shrine to worship and pray for blessings.
What appeared before the girl at that moment was a monster devoid of reason.
His gaze toward the girl was filled with nothing but greed and hunger.
Although the principle is unknown, there are some monsters in this world that can become stronger by eating people.
The great yokai of Mount Shichikaku, the king of the forest, is a representative of this type of yokai.
These six monkeys in front of us are clearly among them.
A foul-smelling gust of wind swept by, taking away the little warmth the girl had left and melting the flickering campfire on the ground.
Night blindness is generally caused by malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, and it is a very common disease in this era.
It is widespread, but its impact is significant.
After losing the light of the campfire, the girl, who could only be seen as a vague outline to begin with, was now completely out of sight.
It's like being blind; you can't see anything, you're weak, helpless, and pitiful.
No, it's not that we can't see anything.
The girl could clearly see that the six pairs of eyes emitting red light in the darkness, like will-o'-the-wisps burning in hell, were still slowly approaching her.
Am I going to die?
But I don't want to die...
Who can help me!
The girl cried out helplessly in her heart.
The next second, twelve long, narrow streaks of light emerged from the darkness, rushing towards him like arrows released from a bow!
Upon seeing this, the girl's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, closing her eyes in fear.
The wooden cane that was supporting his body did not serve any purpose.
Tread-tap-
Ouch——
The imagined pain did not come; instead, I heard the stomping of a four-legged animal and the howling of a wolf.
The girl opened her eyes, but still couldn't see anything.
Judging from the sounds alone, it seemed as if something was fighting a monster in the darkness, and occasionally one could hear the sound of a bow being drawn and arrows being shot, as well as the monster's painful roars.
Is it a wolf...?
But how can a wolf shoot arrows?
It must have been the hunter and his hounds who saved me...
In the darkness, those pairs of scarlet eyes dimmed one by one, like extinguished lamps, until they were all extinguished, giving the girl a sense of immense peace.
When she came to her senses, she noticed a noticeable dampness at the base of her thighs and below the hem of her clothes, which instantly made the girl's pretty face turn bright red.
Luckily it's dark now, so I shouldn't be discovered, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Thinking of this, the girl's shyness gradually subsided.
Then I heard a gentle female voice, tinged with surprise, ring in my ear:
"Did you wet your pants?"
"..." ! ! ?
The intense emotional shock overwhelmed the girl's fragile heart like a flood. Her accumulated fatigue from many days, coupled with her weak body suffering from hunger and cold, naturally could not withstand such intense emotional fluctuations.
The girl fainted immediately.
Before losing consciousness, she had only one thought in her mind—
Why did you even ask that?!
Looking at the girl who had been perfectly fine just moments before but suddenly fainted after he asked that question, the white wolf, who had reverted to his beast form after the battle, tilted his head in confusion. "Huh?"
Did I say something wrong?
However, the smell of someone urinating in their pants is undeniable...
In other words, should we pretend we know nothing at this point?
Humans are really complicated...
The white wolf stretched out its hind legs and scratched its neck and ears a couple of times, then shook its ponytail behind its head, revealing a human-like look of confusion on its handsome wolf face.
As a wolf-like monster, her sense of smell was naturally quite keen.
More than a month ago, after smelling the scent of the life-saving demon from the soaring demonic energy that erupted from 443, White Wolf understood what this meant and made a decision in his heart.
I must become a monster under En Yao's command, to be at his beck and call, and repay his life-saving grace with this body!
After that, the white wolf underwent more than half a month of special training, barely managing to transform into human form, and taught himself archery skills by observing the techniques of hunters in the villages near Seven Horns Mountain.
Then they embarked on their journey to Okusan-zan.
Although the journey was not peaceful, thanks to his relatively good strength among the little monsters, White Wolf not only escaped unharmed, but also honed his archery skills.
Today, we have successfully arrived at Mount Okusan.
Although the long stone steps were visible, for a wolf, the lengthy stone steps were not as convenient as crossing mountains and valleys.
Halfway there, her keen sense of smell led her to spot a girl climbing the stone steps at the foot of the mountain.
"This human seems to be planning to go up the mountain?"
As a demon, the white wolf naturally knew how dangerous it would be for someone to go up the mountain alone, but since they were complete strangers, she had no intention of meddling in their affairs.
Although he was thinking this, for some reason, the white wolf slowed down and kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far from the other.
Chapter 326 War! (Close-up of a weapon with a clear significance)
Originally, the white wolf planned to rush to the top of the mountain to see his benefactor, become a monster under his command, and serve him.
However, after discovering that human, for some reason she herself could not yet understand, she chose to maintain the same frequency as the other person.
After the sun went down and the other party found that he was resting, the white wolf also stopped.
Not long after, her keen sense of smell detected several monsters in the distance, moving towards the location of the humans.
Clearly, the other party regarded this human girl as food.
White Wolf hesitated.
It wasn't because the other side had more demons; she could sense their strength from the scent of their demonic energy. Although there were more demons, she was the stronger one.
She was hesitating about whether, as a demon, she should save the human she had never met.
Although her mind was still pondering the decision, her body had already made it.
He ran towards the girl's location.
Regardless of race, since I have the ability, I should help the weak, just like that sir saved me from the tree demon!
Consider it repayment for learning archery from humans.
With this thought in mind, the white wolf's eyes hardened. Its demonic power circulated through its limbs, making it move with increasing agility, weaving through the forest like a phantom of pure white.
They managed to arrive at the scene before the monster could harm the girl.
The monster's eyes are naturally not blocked by the darkness.
Six large monkeys, drooling, pounced on the girl, who, out of fear, fell to the ground and tightly closed her eyes.
Even with White Wolf's speed, it wouldn't be enough time for him to save the person.
At the critical moment, the white wolf stood up upright, transforming into a half-human, half-wolf form.
