Chapter 29
There were indeed a lot of spirits on this mountain.
But they were also very difficult to catch.
The group of demons busied themselves for the entire morning.
However, they only managed to capture a few tree demons with warm personalities. Leaf was the only healing Spirit-branded Retainer in the team.
The tree demon naturally belonged to her.
However, just as Onmyoji bitterly felt that he might die under Little Goldfish's treatment in the future, Leaf refused this assignment.
She shook the thin and round wooden bracelets on her wrist.
"These amulets that Brother gave me have a similar effect.
If I accept this again, he might not be happy. "
Everyone thought about the great demon's oppressive aura, which could frighten demons even when they were sitting still.
In the end, they didn't force Little Goldfish to accept the tree demons.
A few small demons who had contributed the most today divided them up.
Although they weren't very useful, they took it as a good sign. Hopefully, they could catch better ones next time.
The sky was dark.
The small demons returned to the camp with a pile of mushrooms and chickens and rabbits that they had picked today.
Leaf followed beside Chief Wu and walked at the back of the team.
Looking at the group of chattering small demons in front of her, she didn't feel any sense of urgency at all.
They really didn't seem like a proper team of Spirit-branded Retainers.
They stayed here for a long time.
During this time, they could always hear the roars of humans coming from the cave next door. The small demons were curious, but because there was a seal at the entrance of the cave,
They could only watch from the entrance of the cave.
The witch would come over every night.
Because she had the leaves that belonged to her.
So the small demons all treated her as one of their own. When Leaf and the small demons watched the witch feed the ugly human, they even received a few crudely made grass cakes.
Human food, although not very delicious, made her miss it a little.
After she found her body, she should probably go to hell. The Goddess of the Netherworld, the mother of all gods, might know something about the situation of other worlds.
After all, the King Of Hell and the Ghost Lantern no longer existed in this world, but the Goddess of the Underworld, Izanami, still existed. This made her want to find out more.
As usual, today was the day they went out to look for ingredients/spirits. Because they had been running around aimlessly for some time, most of the spirits on this mountain had gone into hiding, or even moved their homes, so they went a little further away today.
However, they didn't know if it was because they were lucky or not. It wasn't easy for them to encounter a high-level Netcutter. Just as they were fighting fiercely, two demons suddenly ran over from the side and were also fighting.
Now, the two sides of the battlefield were inexplicably mixed together. In the end, no one knew who hit the wrong person first, but the two sides separated just like that.
The Yin Yang Master stood at the back of the battlefield, trying to teach his own children magic spells to help them increase their attack power and defense power in a short period of time. However, because he couldn't keep up with the speed of the spell, he ended up using it on his opponent.
Onmyoji's strength increased tremendously in an instant. His demonic aura surged and directly knocked Onmyoji to the ground.
"Zaizai!
Stop feeding him!
Hurry up and help Big Zaizai! "
Leaf was stunned for a moment before she realized that Onmyoji's zaizai and Big Zaizai were referring to her and Jiu Wu. She thought that this guy really knew how to take advantage of the situation.
However, she was just a healing-type grass. When she stabbed someone in the chest, not only did she not kill the demon, she could even revive a dying demon.
Leaf put her hand on the dagger at her waist. After hesitating for a while, she still didn't pull it out.
Then, she shook her big Leaf and fanned it wildly at the battlefield in front of her. This time, the spiritual power that overflowed wasn't green, but a deep red. Once it wrapped around the demons' bodies, they began to vomit blood.
It was a great tonic, and they couldn't digest it in a short time.
The battlefield finally quieted down.
Onmyoji didn't receive special care this time, so he only received a little bit of the red spiritual power. He breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground. He felt that this was the first time he felt comfortable after being healed.
First, he caught the Netcutter, then tied up the other two monsters with the Spirit Language Spell. Then, he moved his Spirit-branded Retainers together and covered them with a shield so that they could slowly digest the Little Goldfish Grass's illegal operation this time.
Cao squatted outside the cover and looked at the rosy faces. Not only did she not feel guilty, she even looked excited.
"Am I powerful?"
"… Yes."
Jiu Wu weakly praised her. He felt that this child was powerful enough from the bottom of his heart.
It wasn't easy for a healing-type to do this. Even the big-tipped peach blossom demon that could revive the dead might not be as powerful as her.
With this, not to mention reviving, she could even let the demons experience the feeling of going from death to life, and then dying again, right?
Time didn't give Jiu Wu much time to think, because on the other side, the big demon that was tied up by Onmyoji suddenly stood up. He struggled several times but failed to break free from Onmyoji's spell. He looked coldly at Onmyoji. When he released his aura, all the demons present trembled.
At this moment, Gui rushed over. He stood in front of the big demon and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Sha Shengmaru, are you discussing the beauty of life with your younger brother again?"
"I don't have a half-demon younger brother."
The silver-haired big demon glanced down at the red-clothed youth lying at his feet. Seeing that he still hadn't woken up, he felt even more repulsed by his existence.
He was too weak. He clearly had the blood of the Dog General flowing in his body. Even if he was a half-demon, he shouldn't be so weak. He was even weaker than the group of low-level demons opposite him.
Gui ignored the fight between the two puppies. Instead, he picked up the child who ran to his side.
"This is my sister. You're disturbing them from capturing the spirit."
As he spoke, he looked up and down at the big puppy in front of him.
"Don't you feel very good now?
Are you satisfied with our child's treatment? "
Sha Shengmaru didn't say anything. He glanced at the group of small demons opposite him, then tried to break free. This time, he easily broke free from Onmyoji's restraint.
So he bent down, picked up the little puppy by the scruff of his neck, and turned to leave.
"Who is that demon?
Is he very powerful? "
"Yes, the son of the Dog General, Sha Shengmaru, a pure-blooded Dog God. When he was traveling back then, I entertained him for a period of time."
Gui Wensheng explained to the child in his arms. Then, he looked in the direction Sha Shengmaru left, then turned back to look at Onmyoji and said, "Go back. There's a demon helping you with the spirit control matter."
"You mean the one just now?"
Gui Wensheng didn't answer his obvious question. Instead, he talked about something else, "Didn't you say that you had a premonition that you would contract a big demon here?"
Onmyoji was still immersed in the joy of the Dog God helping him find a spirit control. When he heard Gui Wensheng's next sentence, his brain instantly heated up.
"He'll submit to me?!"
His face had been dark for too long. It was easy for people to think about what they didn't have.
"Unless you can defeat him single-handedly, then you might be qualified to have him look at you directly."
"…"
"But, that guy might not be worse than Sha Shengmaru. It's just that his status is a little low."
Onmyoji's eyes instantly lit up again.
Gui Wensheng didn't tease him anymore. He lifted his foot and started to return.
"Let's go back first. You'll know what's going on later."
He didn't prepare any ingredients today. Onmyoji was very excited along the way. However, he didn't forget to show his loyalty to the other Spirit-branded Retainers. He said that even if the one waiting for him was Ibaraki Doji, he wouldn't neglect them.
"You guys are my most solid backing!
I'm still counting on Shouwu to go against Ibaraki Doji and Kappa to go against Shujin! "
Shouwu rolled his eyes at him. Then, he quickly walked in front of him and left him with his back facing him.
However, the other small demons all heaved a sigh of relief. When they thought of Onmyoji's usual behavior, they felt a little more confident.
If Onmyoji really favored one and discriminated against the other after obtaining a powerful demon, then they could just break the contract and leave.
Anyway, when they first signed the contract, they didn't sign a very powerful contract. Breaking the contract wouldn't affect either party.
Thinking of this, they suddenly had a good impression of Onmyoji in their hearts.
When other Onmyoji obtained a demon, they would do everything possible to bind the demon. Usually, both parties would sign a very strict master-servant contract. Once this kind of contract was signed, it could be said that Onmyoji controlled the demon's life and death.
Breaking the contract?
That was impossible.
Back then, the one who caused the most trouble was the hair eater. He fell in love with a beautiful Onmyoji. In the end, that Onmyoji only wanted to obtain his power. In the end, if it wasn't for his sister, Yan Yanluo, he would have died in the hands of that Onmyoji.
However, even though he was saved, he still fell from a mid-level demon to a low-level demon. It was said that after that, he was addicted to admiring himself in the mirror. For his own face, he didn't care about anything else. He said that he must be beautiful enough. Only when he became the most beautiful demon, would he not be attracted by other skin bags.
He was also obsessed.
Demons were naturally very fast. However, the weak Onmyoji was exhausted halfway through the journey. In the end, he was carried back by the terracotta soldier. His stomach was red from the abrasion of the terracotta soldier's armor.
Gui brought them all the way back to their temporary residence. However, they didn't return to their own cave. Instead, they ran next door, to the place sealed by Miko-sama.
Leaf noticed that the enchantment that Miko-sama originally set up at the entrance of the cave was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a fine net made of tree branches. Looking through the gaps, they saw a disgusting pile of soft flesh and a human head propped up on top of the flesh.
If the head was burned, it would probably be the face of the person who had been lying in the cave all this time.
Onmyoji's face was a little ugly.
This was it?
What the hell was this?
