Finally, all the energy in its body seed to be scattered and emptied, unable to muster even the slightest bit of strength. At this mont, it couldn’t even struggle desperately, and the sound of its cries grew weaker and weaker, until finally there was no movent at all.
The gigantic centipede lay quietly in the woods, at first glance appearing like a dead black python stretched across the hillside, completely silent.
"You might as well give it a swift end..."
At this mont, a cold voice ca from behind.
Gu Mo, who was swinging a folding chair down like soone beating a corpse, suddenly froze. He maintained the posture of holding the chair high, glanced back, then quickly turned around, hiding the bloodstained deadly weapon behind him, and flashed a natural smile.
"Kikyo, good morning..."
"It’s already noon."
The witch said calmly, ignoring his actions. She wouldn’t sympathize with a demon ready to attack the village, but usually didn’t spend ti slowly dealing with such minor creatures, much like she hadn’t seen a Hundred-legged Demoness for quite a while.
Not because Hundred-legged Demons are rare, actually they are not, mainly because she has long passed the era of trying to identify every type of demon that attacks, and worrying about finding their weaknesses to tackle them specifically... Often, a single arrow would obliterate dozens or hundreds of monsters across.
—In such situations, there’s no mood to distinguish exactly what’s on the other side.
"Ah hahaha, is that so..." Gu Mo chuckled dryly, quickly glancing upward to find the sun indeed near its zenith, the sunlight becoming fierce and scorching, though he seed not to really notice, ignoring it instead.
"Since it’s already this ti, let’s have sothing to eat first."
Kikyo glanced at the massive black centipede corpse over there and said lightly, "Afterward, return to the village and let the villagers handle it."
The natural decomposition ti of such a large demon corpse would be quite lengthy, and might emit deadly poisonous miasma. Furthermore, the rotting process could attract other demons, they are akin to scavengers, presumably not minding attacking the nearby village, hunting so fresh blood, changing the taste.
Though Kikyo could directly purify it, she had other considerations—
Occasionally letting villagers witness demon slaying, involving them could effectively dispel their anxiety... Precisely seeing the dangerous demon being hunted, and needing themselves to deal with the demon carcass, this process brings a sense of relief, keeping them invigorated for quite so ti.
She had such experience during past wandering periods, or during protecting Maple Village, accumulated from past experience.
She once tried exterminating all danger at its roots, with her unparalleled spiritual power in this era capable of slaying any attacking demon outside people’s vision, and during wandering, encountering villages frequently suffering demon invasions, she did the sa.
However, the results weren’t really satisfactory, she quietly eliminated the demon threat, yet those villages remained perpetually anxious, even though they hadn’t been attacked for a long ti, people wouldn’t be at ease, fearing the monster opposite might be plotting sothing big...
Let people see the danger concretely eliminated, involve them personally in the process, confirming this firsthand.
This is very necessary.
"Alright, alright, I’m coming..." Gu Mo tossed the folding chair, clapped his hands, and walked forward, having a bit of a mischievous side, aiming for a temporary handy weapon that doesn’t require too much scrutiny, whether a folding chair or a brick, usable at will.
Just a pity for not mastering the Clone Technique, otherwise, directly form a Shaolin Temple Eighteen Bronze n team, all rushing together with folding chairs, the scene would be exceptionally spectacular.
Looking at the basket in the witch’s hand, Gu Mo asked a bit curiously, "But speaking of which, why is it Kikyo again delivering food to ?"
"Xiao Ye was supposed to bring food for you, but sothing ca up at ho, she was called back by her parents, so she had to ask to do it..." The witch said calmly, it has been quite a few days, and she was also used to being called directly by na by this person.
At least no longer having that unnatural discomfort, feeling quite odd internally.
"I see, but why does it always seem a bit familiar this reason." Gu Mo propped his chin, tilted his head pondering, whether he heard this yesterday, or even possibly the day before, was he trapped in a ti loop?
The witch naturally noticed the issue, yet she thought there might be another reason, hesitated slightly, but eventually spoke:
"Perhaps it’s because of , few days ago, I told Xiao Ye’s parents your situation was sowhat special, they’re presumably not entirely confident..."
The villagers are very grateful to the Half-Demon before them, so every day they would help deliver als, just like she herself enjoyed the sa treatnt, it’s hard to refuse this goodwill. But exactly these days, this person had been wandering outside, thus Xiao Ye volunteered to take on the responsibility—
