Konoha Hypocrite - Chapter 425
After a lot of effort, Shokaku finally dragged the abnormal Koyu back to the village.
A few minutes later, torches were set up everywhere in the village, and the villagers surrounded Koyu in three circles.
Not long after, the crowd made way. Okaku came to the crowd by the river and glanced at the frightened Koyu. Then he asked Shokaku,
“What’s going on?”
Shokaku stared at Koyu, his face full of worry as he shook his head.
“I don’t know either. I saw that Koyu still hasn’t returned so late, so I planned to go up the mountain to find her.
In the end, I found her in the tree forest under the mountain. She kept biting the wood.
He even said some strange words.”
“Looks like she’s crazy.” An older aunt sighed.
Shokaku’s expression changed slightly. He said with a puzzled expression,
“Crazy. What does that mean?”
The woman sighed and slowly explained,
“The village had gone crazy before.
For example, women could go crazy after giving birth.
Or if someone encountered a monster, they would go crazy after escaping death.”
When the youths in the crowd heard this, fear appeared on their faces. They said uneasily,
“Could it be that Koyu met a monster?
A monster appeared on the mountain! “
“Don’t those monsters have their own territory? Why are they near our village?”
“It can’t be a new monster, right? Then what should we do? Should we move out?”
……..
Just as everyone was discussing, Koyu, who was curled up on the ground, began to mutter again.
“Man. Man. Man. On the mountain.”
Okaku heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Shokaku and examined him.
After combining his understanding of his son’s character, physical strength, and ability to predict, he said in a low voice,
“Not necessarily. From her appearance, it is possible that she has been violated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy villager beside him said,
“The men in the village are all here. They should not be from the village.”
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Shokaku and then glanced at Okaku that was staring at him coldly. He immediately added,
“Of course, it is also possible that they are not people.”
But when Shokaku heard that his sweetheart was probably violated, his anger instantly rushed to his head.
“Bastard!”
Shokaku roared and was about to take revenge.
Okaku was quick and grabbed Shokaku’s arm and said in a low voice,
“Shokaku! Don’t be impulsive.
It was night now, and the village was the safest place.
Even if there were no powerful beasts on that mountain, since Koyu had met with an accident, it meant that the mountain was not safe.”
At this time, a villager analyzed from the side of Okaku,
“Village Chief, could it be that people from other villages are passing by here?
After all, Koyu was talking about men, not demons.
Although apes and demons looked like people, they could tell at a glance.”
“The bastards from other villages? I want to kill him.” Shokaku suddenly became hysterical and broke free from the restraints of Okaku. He fled into the night.
A wave of anger suddenly rose between the eyebrows of Okaku. He shouted at the villager just now,
“Are you confused, how long have we not seen people from other villages.
This place will take half a month to reach the nearest town. The people who can reach here are probably warriors who travel.”
When the villager saw the village chief angry, he shrank his head and said,
“Sorry, I didn’t think too much about it.”
Okaku took a deep breath and waved his hand.
“What are you waiting for? The woman stays in the village and the man follows.”
…….
At this time, the top of the mountain was covered in fog.
“The Force of Nature is so dense that it’s frightening.”
Uchiha Tunan stood on the surface of the calm water with his hands behind his back.
He closed his eyes and quietly absorbed the Force of Nature in the ring to condense Immortal Chakra.
In the future, the Force of Nature was thin.
Through the abilities of the celestial clan and the Tamamo Kaleidoscope, Uchiha Tunan had already accumulated a huge amount of immortal chakra.
But when he was here, Uchiha Tunan found that the high concentration of nature energy could increase the quality of immortal chakra.
Although Uchiha Tunan was cultivating without any movement.
In the eyes of life force that could sense the nature energy, the nature energy in a radius of several miles had already formed a terrifying vortex and poured towards Uchiha Tunan.
The Force of Nature in the distance was also rushing towards this place.
“After I complete my immortal cultivation, I will refine my physical body.”
It seemed that this trip was worth it.
A smile appeared on Uchiha Tunan’s face. He slightly opened his eyes and glanced at the water.
Through the hot spring, the rocks, and the soil, he saw a group of villagers running wildly in the forest.
Uchiha Tunan only glanced at them, then retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to these primitive people.
“My time is still very abundant.
You don’t have to think about arranging complicated things every day like before.”
Thinking of this, Uchiha Tunan felt much better. He gently opened his hands and muttered,
“The omnipresent force of nature, the ancient civilization, the golden age where martial artists and Onmyoji coexisted.”
Several hundred miles away, a towering giant pine tree stood on a dangerous peak.
A black bird spread its wings and was resting on the crown of the tree.
Suddenly, the ferocious bird opened its eyes and looked into the distance.
“Liiii!”
A roar filled with anger resounded through the night sky.
Then, a strong wind blew and a black shadow flew into the sky.
At the same time, Okaku and the others also saw Shokaku running desperately ahead.
Finally, at the foot of the mountain, Okaku pulled Shokaku back.
Shokaku turned around and gritted his teeth.
“Father, if you are afraid, please go back. Don’t stop me.”
Okaku looked at his stubborn son and said solemnly,
“No matter what happens later, don’t act recklessly.”
Shokaku looked at the villagers who were as strong as cows and horses behind Okaku and couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart.
Even his anger was reduced by a lot, and he nodded silently.
Following that, under the arrangements of Okaku, everyone grabbed onto the vines in an orderly manner and climbed up the mountain wall one by one.
Looking at the towering cliff, Shokaku’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Koyu, just you wait, I will definitely kill that bastard to avenge you!
These villagers were all experts at hunting all year round, and they climbed extremely quickly.
Shokaku held his anger in his heart. With his hands and feet together, he did not fall too far behind.
Soon, everyone had already climbed halfway up the mountain.
“Liiii!”
At this moment, a high-pitched cry came from the horizon.
The experienced villagers all stopped moving and looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw a black dot moving quickly in the starry night sky.
One of the villagers exclaimed, “Village Chief, it seems to be the cry of Shi Yuyan.”
Okaku nodded and shouted in a low voice,
“Don’t worry. This monster only eats large and fast beasts.
Let’s find a place to sit and don’t move. Wait for it to fly away. “
After saying that, the villagers found a suitable place to stay and leaned against the mountain wall, motionless.
Shi Yuyan belonged to the category of monsters, and her name was given to her by the older generation in the village.
After all, the range of Shi Yuyan’s territory was not too far from the village.
Every villager knew to avoid the territory of the other side when they were hunting, so they were not unfamiliar with Shi Yuyan.
Everyone was not afraid of Shi Yuyan who was flying at this time.
After all, the difference between monsters and beasts was strength and wisdom.
Monsters also had their own habits, and not all monsters wanted to eat people.
Shi Yuyan happened to not like to eat people.
The main reason was that humans were like ants in his eyes, not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
However, the black dot in the night sky was getting bigger and bigger, and he could already vaguely make out the outline of Shi Yuyan.
Okaku said with a puzzled face,
“That’s strange, isn’t Shi Yuyan a smart animal?
He should be resting in the territory at night.”
The slightly older villager said thoughtfully,
“Monsters are all intelligent. Do you think they are here to flee?
A new monster really came from the top of the mountain.
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere became serious.
If a new monster really came from the top of the mountain, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
Most of them were already secretly thinking of retreating.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed villager exclaimed,
“Not good, it’s flying towards us.”
Okaku quickly comforted everyone and said,
“Don’t panic. It definitely isn’t here to hunt us. Looking at its trajectory, it should be going to the top of the mountain.”
When the villagers heard this, they became even more panicked.
“Village Chief, let’s go back quickly. It seems that there really are monsters on the mountain.”
“There is a monster that can’t move now, and there is nothing here to hide.”
As long as we move, Shi Yuyan will notice us.
What if it is hungry?
……..
Shokaku, who had been silent all this time, looked at the black shadow that was getting bigger and bigger in the sky. He turned to Okaku and said in a low voice,
“If there really is a monster on the mountain, will they fight?”
Okaku frowned and shook his head.
“Not necessarily. Monsters are not beasts.
It is just like you met strangers outside the wild, more like communicating.”
Shokaku nodded slightly and did not say anything. He just clenched his fists tightly.
After all, he also knew the importance of the matter. There were monsters at the top of the mountain, but he was still silly to send himself to death.
However, when he thought that Koyu’s miserable condition was caused by the monster, his heart ached even more.
In the night sky, Shi Yuyan stared at the top of the mountain in the distance. With his inhuman eyesight, his sight easily penetrated the mist and saw Uchiha Tunan standing on the water surface with his eyes closed.
Seeing that the creature that affected the Force of Nature in his territory was so small, he immediately adjusted his flying angle and dived toward the top of the mountain.
“Be careful, it seems to be attacking.”
Okaku’s eyes widened as he loudly reminded everyone.
Everyone tightly grabbed onto the vines and pressed their bodies against the mountain wall.
“Li!”
A huge shadow enveloped the mountain peak.
The wind brought about by Shi Yuyan was unusually fierce, and the jungle on the top of the mountain was dancing and howling.
The strong wind blew on the wall of the mountain, scraping off pieces of half-weathered rock pieces.
In the fog at the top of the mountain, the scarlet light penetrated the fog and looked straight at the shadow above, saying with great interest,
“A bird that has been baptized by the Force of Nature all year round?”
