Chapter 343 Centipede
Whether it was Long or Asha, it was easy to judge that what the other said was true, and Doudoumaru did not lie.

From the description, it can be confirmed that the woman is the Fox Dancer, but three days have passed and they have obviously lost the clue again. Then the two found that Izumi was still asking some questions. Did she discover something?
"Oh no." Izumi couldn't help but patted her forehead and said.

"Do you know the other party's origin?" Long keenly noticed something and asked.

"Well, I have indeed heard of the other party." Izumi sighed, and since she had nothing to hide, she continued.

"She was originally a very famous Onmyoji in Kyoto. Because of her amazing beauty and talent, she was very popular in Kyoto and was often invited by nobles to perform Onmyoji. But later, no one knew what happened. She violated the Onmyoji's ban and practiced an evil magic. Not only was she expelled from the Onmyoji, she was not allowed to mention her name either." Izumi couldn't help but sigh again when she said this, because the other party was her idol when she was young. She still remembered that she met her by chance when she was a child, and she was deeply attracted by her charming face and elegant manners. Since then, she dreamed of becoming a person like her.

"Then what kind of evil magic did she practice?" Long didn't care why the other party became like this, because there were too many reasons. She only cared about how strong the other party was and what she was good at.

"It is said to be a technique to transform into a fox." Izumi said this and couldn't help showing a somewhat confused expression.

The fox transformation technique is a type of demon transformation technique, but it is specifically used to transform into a fox demon.

Judging from the opponent's appearance, the fox transformation technique can be said to be tailor-made for the opponent. Therefore, as long as no major incident occurs, even if the Onmyoji in Kyoto notices it, they will turn a blind eye, because the opponent is striving for fame and fortune for the Onmyoji group, so even if he practices evil techniques, it is only a necessary means.

The Japanese Yin-Yang magic itself is not upright, and the bottom line is very loose.

Therefore, the fact that the Fox Dancer was ostracized by the entire Onmyoji circle in Kyoto for practicing evil magic, and even his name was not allowed to be mentioned, and all related news was blocked, was definitely not the real reason.

Moreover, such a move is more of a deterrent than a punishment, and it is not something that can be achieved by simply transforming into a fox.

"Obviously there is something else going on." Asha frowned and said.

Unfortunately, apart from knowing that the other party is an Onmyoji and has practiced the art of transforming into a fox, they still know nothing about the Fox Dancer's strength.

However, judging from the actions of the Kyoto Onmyoji and the fact that Doudoumaru was so scared that he hid in the mountains after sensing just a slight breath, it is clear that he should not be underestimated.

"Do you want to continue the investigation?" Oboro said to Izumi meaningfully. He asked this because Izumi was the captain, and whether the mission would continue depended entirely on her opinion.

In fact, regardless of whether Izumi continues the mission or not, she and Asha will not give up because the Fox Dancer is very suspicious.

The rumor about the Lord of a Hundred Demons originated from Kyoto, and the Fox Dancer is not only from Kyoto, but also an Onmyoji who practices the art of transforming demons. So, even if he is not a participant, he at least knows some information, which is crucial to Long and Asha's mission.

"Cha, I'm also very curious about why the other party gave up everything." Whether it was out of her childhood yearning for idols or her curiosity about the secrets, Izumi did not intend to give up this mission.

The three of them reached a consensus, so Doudouwan was in trouble. "I'm a raccoon cat, not a dog, why do you want me to go to Zhenxiang? It's okay to track him, as long as I don't get into a fight." Holding the classic mooncake gift box that Izumi packed from the Moroboshi family pastry shop, Doudouwan, who kept swallowing his saliva, decisively threw away the principle that raccoons don't eat food given out of pity.

After putting away the mooncake box, Doudouwan took the leaf and stuck it on his forehead. After a puff of white smoke, the short and fat raccoon cat turned into a fat dog with short legs and a big tail.

After Wangwang barked twice, Doudouwan lowered his head and sniffed around, then ran in a certain direction, followed closely by Long and the other two.

Judging from the tracking route, the Fox Dancer was obviously not familiar with the surrounding road conditions, because he had no clear direction and goal. He just went wherever he went, and would fool around if he encountered a village, and keep going if he didn't. This led to the Moroboshi family trying to surround and ambush the opponent several times but they couldn't even see the opponent, because the opponent had no destination at all and was walking around randomly, so it was not easy to stop him.

What's more, with just a little disguise, no one would know who she is even if they met face to face.

Similar situations are not isolated cases, so professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Asha and Long were elite ninjas, so they could see some traces left three days ago. However, the other party was obviously no rookie, and even if he was not a ninja, he knew some techniques to cover up the traces, which made things much more difficult for them.

Fortunately, Doudouwan did play a significant role. Although it turned into a dog, the raccoon cat has a good sense of smell. In addition, it knows a lot of little monsters in the mountains. With the benefits given by Izumi, it can always find out some information, so that the three of them do not deviate from their goal.

"This is the trace left a day ago. We are almost catching up with each other." Long said after letting out a breath.

"Senior, I'm afraid the other party has noticed that someone is following her." Sensing a hint of murderous intent, Asha immediately drew her sword and said vigilantly.

"There's an evil spirit, it's a monster!" Doudouwan was so timid that he hid behind Quanmei as soon as he smelled danger, leaving only his round dog-faced head with big eyes trembling.

Izumi released the paper figures to search for the enemy, then cast a talisman to protect herself. Then all she could do was wait, because Long and Asha did not move, but looked around carefully, looking for traces of the enemy. In this situation, not causing more trouble is the best help.

At this moment, a fine friction sound was heard among the bushes. Long reacted immediately and threw out several Senbon missiles at lightning speed. Groups of three-three formed a triangle and covered an area. Two of them hit the target. Although the sparks splashed out and made her feel a little nervous, they also locked onto the target.

Asha's attack followed closely, and because she realized that the killing power of the Senbon was not enough, she used a heavier kunai, which indeed made a sound of breaking armor.

hiss~
With a strange hissing sound, a two-meter-long centipede with legs as thick as a thigh jumped out from the grass. The kunai thrown by Asha penetrated nearly half of its shell, but this kind of injury was barely a minor injury for the insect monsters with strong vitality.

"It's a centipede. Cut the joints between the shells. Be careful not to get the blade stuck. Watch out for the poison spray!" Long immediately drew his sword and reminded Asha at the same time.

The centipede not only has a smooth and tough shell and agile movements, but is also poisonous. It is not easy to deal with. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
