However, the consumption is also quite large. In terms of one's own reserves, a significant portion of the blue bar is instantly gone. Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, indeed only Tiamat God can wield this ability without any scruples, as long as soone falls into the black mud, they will be forced into a contract.
After all, the main body is the Sea of Life. By cycling the true ether of Earth's Genesis, this ocean can supply infinite magic power, naturally without any problem.
Watching the sudden frenzy and excitent, resembling a puppy, Hidechika raised her delicate eyebrows. She couldn't see what this person did at all, although she keenly sensed the exchange and flow of energy... Is this so kind of unique secret technique?
Or perhaps, like the strange hand washing secret technique in Thirteen Sakura Village, it's the sa type of nature?
.....
By observing the stars, Gu Mo conducted another divination.
This ti, as well, the result wasn't a terribly bad one, sowhat soothing the hearts of the two girls. However, after a brief communication with the giant owl to gather information, it was discovered that it was not the one who attacked the old man; it hadn't gone out at all during this period.
It was completely fine, only to be beaten up by the three of them, a disaster from the sky.
After treating the wounds of this giant owl, the three directly used it as a flying mount, soaring between the mountains, flying under the night sky, heading towards the direction of Chuye Village. After all, as long as Saito Dosan doesn't encounter any issues, he should be heading there.
Originally, they were going towards the Demon Exterminator Village...
The origin of the giant owl is also sowhat problematic. Perhaps at this ti, the area around Kanazaki hasn't yet beco a battlefield, so it indeed hasn't caused any slaughter. This spooky place was already rarely frequented by people. However, it should have been born from the grievances gathered from that village.
Although it didn't slaughter the village—rather, the village was massacred, and it was born from that tragic outco...
But precisely because of this, the giant owl is very clear about where Chuye Village's main base is, and it enthusiastically carries its new masters, flying towards that direction. In just a few minutes, they saw the extrely hidden outline of a village ahead.
Chuye Yashou's village is very large, situated in deep mountain valleys, like a village hiding in a natural haven, embraced by mountainous arms resembling those of giants. If traveling by land, one must wind through the mountains and forests, circling countless tis to find the path—
That path descends along a natural cavern, spiraling down through the mountain's crevices, arriving at the deepest point after much effort.
However, while there is another world inside, the other side is suspended. That side faces a rapid river, with an extrely precipitous terrain, making it particularly well hidden. But since the giant owl originally flew out from there, it naturally knows the route to fly in, easily reaching the destination.
The heavy, massive body landed steadily, and the three of them successively jumped off the back of the giant owl, examining this extrely hidden village.
"It's been deserted for a long ti, but not long ago, soone was here…"
Miss Saito said excitedly, her sharp eyes noticing the clues, pointing in a certain direction: "Look, the traces are still fresh."
"Then it seems I guessed right; the old man indeed ca here... You can finally rest easy now." Gu Mo smiled slightly, then glanced around, "But this demon qi here is sowhat astonishing, could it be so hidden BOSS?"
"What hidden BOSS? Do you know what's here?"
Miss Saito asked, puzzled.
She felt the astonishing demon qi lingering here too, very faint but undoubtedly with extrely astonishing quality... Perhaps so unprecedentedly terrifying great demon, making her subconsciously wary.
"I don't know…" Gu Mo decisively shook his head, looking at the giant owl behind him.
The BOSS in this scenario, according to his impression, should be this guy. But now it seems that is not the case. Could there have been so unforeseen change?
"Then we must be careful… This is the first ti I've encountered this kind of demon qi."
The girl nodded, raising her alertness. She felt the agitation in her bloodline; this faint demon qi made her perceive a genuine threat.
Subconsciously glancing at her older sister beside her, she found that her sister was also frowning deeply, apparently sensing the seriousness of the situation.
"Perhaps I should go take a look; you both stay here…" Gu Mo suggested, after all, he was just a shadow, a clone of a clone. It was actually the best choice for him to explore the path. However, both girls disagreed; Miss Saito decisively rejected the idea, and Hidechika shook her head repeatedly.
The trio could only proceed more cautiously, while the giant owl, too large to follow along, road the sky, ever watchful.
Following the obvious traces, they ventured into the village.
Then, at the back of a house, they discovered a hidden secret passage.
Going deeper along the secret passage, they navigated several turns before reaching the end. There, the space was slightly more spacious, with a shrine at the end, covered in dust and a state of decay. It's unclear whether this used to be a hidden ritual site for the Chuye Yashou.
"It's a dead end… Strange, where else could we go from here?"
Miss Saito felt a bit frustrated. She found that the path had co to an end, but the trace clues instead broke off, as if the target they were tracking had vanished into thin air here.
Unconvinced, she waved her sword around the surroundings, not uncovering any hidden passages or the like. The shrine was also in disarray, with a thick layer of dust, as if it hadn't been cleaned or maintained in ages. On the altar among the deity plaques, there was a rather obscure scroll enshrined.
"There's a spell on it that I can't understand either. It feels like a teleportation, but I can't be sure…" Gu Mo examined it carefully, making this assessnt, "We better not act rashly… Eh?"
He uttered an odd syllable as he saw the scroll mysteriously emit a glow in perfect timing.
His expression changed subtly, instinctively preparing to retreat rapidly and notify the two girls when a strange suction force erged—
Along with light waves spreading out, engulfing the entire secret passage, and once the light dissipated, the passage lay empty, not a single shadow remaining.
