Chapter 76
“No! We can never destroy our mountain god!”
The lady elder was very agitated. She looked at Xiao Tangqiu’s group angrily, obviously wishing to chase them away immediately, “The mountain god is our god! It is our faith! Hundred Ghost Town worships the mountain god devoutly every generation. You outsiders don’t even think about…”
Before she could finish speaking, the main hall suddenly shook violently. Everyone looked up and saw that the idol in the center of the hall was actually moving!
The wolf-shaped idol slowly lowered its head and looked at the people standing before it.
The lady elder was trembling with excitement, and she knelt down in awe, “The mountain god… the mountain god has appeared!”
The remaining villagers also knelt to the ground one after another, kneeling thrice and bowing nine times with excitement.
“Mountain God! Mountain God! Save Hundred Ghost Town!”
“Please save Hundred Ghost Town!”
Alarm bells rang in Xiao Tangqiu’s heart and he clenched the weapon in his hand tight. The next moment, a thick black smoke suddenly exuded from the wolf idol. That black smoke enveloped the entire idol, giving the idol an even more terrible aura.
However, the Hundred Ghost Town villagers turned a blind eye to it. They didn’t seem to see the black smoke surrounding the idol, and they continued bowing reverently, “Mountain God! Save Hundred Ghost Town!”
In the next second, a wisp of black smoke split from the wolf idol and rushed toward a villager!
The villager was swallowed by black smoke in an instant and he suddenly screamed. Surrounded by black smoke, his body gradually expanded and deformed, his body became bigger and bigger, his face became more and more hideous… Amidst his pained screams, he finally turned into a monster in front of everyone!
Even though Xiao Tangqiu had already guessed the truth, he couldn’t help but feel his heart sink. As expected!
Those monsters were really transformed from the villagers of Hundred Ghost Town! The many monsters they had killed before were all innocent villagers… But were there really innocent villagers in Hundred Ghost Town?
“No! This is impossible!”
The lady elder and other Hundred Ghost Town villagers’ eyes almost popped out. Although they already knew that the monsters were transformed villagers, they couldn’t believe that the source of all this was the mountain god they had worshiped for generations. They had been praying for the mountain god to save Hundred Ghost Town and end this disaster… But it turned out the mountain god was the source of the disaster. How could they accept it?
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart suddenly thudded with an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the next moment, the villager who had become a monster in front of everyone shrieked and rushed towards him. He immediately raised his crossbow and aimed a shot at its head!
This monster was extremely powerful and Xiao Tangqiu could not kill it for a long time. Finally Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli also moved, and the three teamed up to take it down.
But soon, the black smoke on the wolf idol once again surrounded a villager, turning another villager into a monster.
Xiao Tangqiu became anxious. Although there were not many remaining villagers, they could not waste combat power like this. There was still the hardest bone to chew waiting for them. If they were exhausted too much by these mobs, they’d have no energy to deal with the big final boss.
Xue Junli obviously realized this, and he immediately shouted, “Concentrate the firepower against the mountain god!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lady elder and the remaining villagers immediately protested, “No! We beg you don’t! That is our mountain god!”
The lady elder had obviously realized the power gap between them and Xue Junli’s group. She lowered her stance and pleaded, “We Hundred Ghost Town people believe in worshiping the mountain god for generations. All this cannot be destroyed in our hands…”
Duan Hongzhen scoffed, “What do you worship the mountain god for? It is for the protection of the mountain god! Since the mountain god has abandoned you, why do you continue to worship the mountain god?”
“No! The mountain god did not abandon us!” The lady elder retorted shakily.
Duan Hongzhen sneered and pointed to the villager who had turned into a monster, “Open your eyes and see, is your mountain god still sheltering you?”
The lady elder was filled with sadness, “No… our mountain god is just… just…”
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly spoke, “Your mountain god is no longer the original mountain god. The mountain god here today is already full of malice.”
The lady elder still wanted to make a weak rebuttal, but in the next second, a villager who had been supporting her was turned into a monster by the black smoke and lunged towards her!
In a split second, Yu Fuling rushed over and pulled out a knife to help. The lady elder barely escaped danger. She fell to the ground with a blank and numb expression.
She looked up at the mountain god still enshrined in the main hall, and her eyes gradually became dead. Was this their mountain god? Was this the mountain god really the mountain god they had been devoting to worship?
The villagers were also at a loss, especially when they watched their companions being turned into monsters one by one… At this moment, the lady elder suddenly stood up and shouted, “This is not our mountain god! Our mountain god is dead!”
There was a terrible silence around, but soon someone began to agree with her, “Yes! This is not our mountain god! This is clearly a demon god!”
“This is not our mountain god!”
Gradually, more and more people agreed.
Xiao Tangqiu was surprised to find that with more and more doubt and louder and louder declarations of “the mountain god is dead”, the wolf-shaped idol enshrined in the center of the main hall began to shrink!
Xue Junli and Duan Hongzhen seized the opportunity. Once the wolf-shaped idol shrank back to a normal sized stone statue, they moved like lightning!
Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu were not to be outdone, making their own big moves. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and prepared to fight with their lives.
However, to all of their surprise, the final BOSS at the end of this instance was not difficult to fight. It could be said to be weak! Even without Shen Yuan, under the joint attack of the six of them, the wolf-shaped idol fell!
After the idol fell, it was instantly broken and torn apart.
When a god was no longer needed, it would lose its meaning.
The collapsed deity became just a pile of stone fragments.
Looking at the scattered fragments of the idol, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but sigh. When the faith collapsed, the mountain god fell.
Did the mountain god abandon Hundred Ghost Town, or did Hundred Ghost Town abandon the mountain god?
Just as he was still at a loss, Kisaragi, who had fallen on the ground, got up. She looked down at the fragments of the idol on the ground with indifferent eyes.
A few seconds later, Kisaragi suddenly smiled faintly, “Thank you for helping me so much…”
Kisaragi’s attitude was very strange. Xiao Tangqiu initially thought that she was only hit by the fallen statue, but when she spoke, his heart jumped and a very strong bad premonition appeared.
“If it weren’t for you…I don’t know how much more time would’ve been wasted…” She turned her head to look at Xiao Tangqiu’s group, curled her lips, and showed a casual smile.
Kisaragi’s attitude changed drastically, and everyone’s expressions also changed drastically… Fuck! They seem to have been tricked!
Tang Mianmian widened his eyes and blurted out, “What do you mean?!”
In the next second, he got the answer–
Kisaragi curled her lips and an extremely terrifying pressure radiated from her body. The terrifying and cold aura instantly covered the sky.
The pressure in the air was so heavy that Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t breathe for a moment, he couldn’t even move his body. He could only turn his eyes desperately and looked at the other people.
Xiao Tangqiu felt desperate. Except for Shen Yuan, everyone was pale, and Duan Hongzhen looked like he could not wait to draw his sword immediately, “Damn it!”
Duan Hongzhen cursed, but still couldn’t move, and could only glared with his eyes.
At this moment, Shen Yuan frowned, “This is…”
He paused, his eyes suddenly darkening, “The aura of Arch Demons!”
Arch Demons?!
Xiao Tangqiu instantly recalled Lippinobert from the previous haunted castle instance. He knew that an Arch Demon was the highest and most powerful of all demons except for the Abyssal Demons. If they were to be ranked according to the grade of nobility, the status of an Arch Demon was about the same as that of a duke, below one but above all else.
However, an Arch Demon was extremely rare. Their strong power came directly from the Abyss Demons, and there were very few demons that could be favored so. From this, two factions of Arch Demons, pure blood and impure blood were created.
The strong power of the pure-blood came from the personal blessings of an Abyss Demon, while the impure blood might have obtained part of the power of the abyss demon by chance, and thus promoted… such as the previous Lippinobert.
Xiao Tangqiu recalled the results of the Reincarnation Team’s special training and, after understanding the current situation, he wanted to ask the heavens and ancestors and even the earth…Arch Demons were supposed to be so rare! Why did they meet two in a row!
The previous Lippinobert was just an impure blood, to put it bluntly, he had not been officially recognized by the Abyss Demon. But now this one was likely to be an official one!
Look at this strong demonic energy! Look at this terrible coercion!
“I am the Arch Demon…”
Kisaragi smiled. No. She was no longer the Miko Kisaragi of Kisaragi Shrine. Her facial features suddenly began to change, and her east Asian appearance began to gradually become Westernized. Soon, her eastern characteristics disappeared completely, and it became a standard Westerner look… and it was a Westerner who looked familiar to Xiao Tangqiu.
After Xiao Tangqiu saw what “Kisaragi” really looked like, his eyes widened… No way! This was impossible! How was this possible?
The “Kisaragi” in front of them had a face exactly like Lily Marlene in Lippinobert’s portrait!
“Kisaragi”’s voice was very soft, but full of deceptive power, like a demon whispering, “…Of course, you can also call me by my previous name: Lily Marlene.”
