Chapter 345 Air Explosion
Princess Fukushima, who was as graceful and elegant as a princess, walked forward and before she could say anything, Oboro and Asha knelt down, and Izumi also hurriedly performed the full ceremony to show her respect.

Although Long and Asha are demon hunting ninjas, they also belong to the ninja industry. It is almost a professional instinct for them to kneel down when they meet a powerful person, just like the office workers who will be soft-hearted when meeting a client.

Not to mention that in their perception, the opponent's strength is as unfathomable as a deep pool, so no matter from which perspective, they have to kneel first to show respect.

The reason why Izumi was so respectful was purely because she came from a family of Onmyoji.

Although Onmyojis have a high social status, even higher than samurai, and are respected superiors in the eyes of common people, to be frank, they are just high-level craftsmen who rely on the nobles for their livelihood. Therefore, once they offend a noble and ruin their reputation, it is no longer a personal problem, but the entire family will be implicated.

From this point of view, what Fox Dancer did was definitely not ordinary, and it was so serious that the entire Kyoto Onmyoji circle had to draw a line between themselves and her.

Moreover, even when pushed to this point, the Onmyoji of Kyoto did not take action to deal with the other party. Either they were unable to defeat them, or the benefits were so great that they were willing to take some risks in public.

Anyway, Izumi, who received strict education since childhood, has a morbid obsession with hierarchy, so when faced with Fukushima-hime, who is more elegant than the princess, she immediately bows down to him.

"Where is the big centipede?" Princess Fukushima's temperament became more and more ethereal, and even her voice was as crisp and pleasant as pearls falling on a jade plate, making people unable to resist the urge to obey.

"It's in the mountain ahead. Asha and I are willing to lure it here." Long said without hesitation. Asha didn't think much about it because it was their duty as ninjas.

"No need, you stay here and don't get too close to avoid accidental injuries." Fukushima-hime said calmly. At this time, Karakumaru had completed his military preparations. After receiving the signal, he immediately commanded the Babao Army to set up the artillery formation.

Hui Ruomaru, who has been staying in the army, has grown a lot and has become more and more adept at commanding the army. Under her command, the Babao Army set up the Tongtian Cannon and prepared for firing in a very short time.

Large-scale munitions are no longer a big problem for Yan Xu today, but there is not much need for the army of the Japanese world to upgrade. In addition, due to the world's restrictions on technology, the Babao Army is still equipped with small fire extinguisher cannons, medium-sized oxygen cylinder cannons, and large gas tank cannons. The shells are still various models of Babao Dahua rounds.

After the thick and long oxygen cylinder was set up and the angle was adjusted, the air-blast type Babao Dahua round that was improved to look like a rocket and greatly increased the range was stuffed into the barrel after being ignited. With a series of muffled sounds, the rocket-type Babao Dahua round with a specially shortened fuse was detonated above the woods.

The air-burst Babao Dahua ship is mainly used to kill infantry, so the amount of explosives is not large and no combustion aids are added. The flames are quickly extinguished after the explosion, but before that, thousands of steel balls are ejected like raindrops, covering a large area.

The steel balls that fell like raindrops shot countless delicate flowers and leaves in the mountains and forests into withered flowers and willows, but they were meaningless to the giant centipede. The fine steel balls that were enough to beat a person into a sieve fell on the thick carapace and rolled to the ground like water droplets in the blink of an eye.

However, the hot steel balls falling from the sky caused considerable damage to the smaller centipedes. At once, countless centipedes whose shells were not thick and tough enough were pierced. While oozing out body fluids, they began to struggle violently, causing the originally peaceful forest to suddenly become lively.

"These centipedes actually ambushed us in the mountains and forests?" Izumi said in disbelief. Obviously, she did not expect that the centipedes' intelligence was so high.

Long and Asha's expressions did not change, because this was expected. The painful experiences of countless sisters made them understand that monsters are not so easy to deal with. They also have cunning minds and evil wisdom. If you dare to underestimate them, you may fall into the hands of monsters and suffer terrible torture. These are the experiences of sisters who have escaped from monsters.

"Prepare the poisonous dragon drill." Hui Ruomaru waved his hand to let the Eight Treasures Army retreat, and then ordered the ninjas carrying thick metal pipes to sneak into the vicinity and wait for an opportunity to fire.

The poisonous dragon drill was specially prepared by the Moroboshi family for those thick-skinned monsters. To put it simply, it is a shoulder-fired rocket, but the technical content is not low. Each rocket is composed of three parts, namely the propulsion tube at the tail, the explosive tube in the middle, and the sharp barbed spear head at the head.

After ignition, the thick propulsion tube will push the rocket out of the launch tube at an extremely fast speed and continue to increase thrust in the air until the propellant is exhausted.

However, due to the processing technology, the stability of the Poison Dragon Drill is not very good. Although the maximum range is over 200 meters, the accuracy can only be maintained within 20 to 30 meters. If it does not exceed 50 meters, it can barely maintain a relatively stable flight trajectory. If it exceeds 50 meters, it depends on fate. The rocket will go wherever fate points, which is comparable to the Indian military industry.

Although the giant centipede did not care about its countless descendants, it was still enraged by the attack of the Moroboshi family and drove countless centipedes to rush towards the Moroboshi army like a tide.

Long, Asha and Izumi all looked livid. They had greatly underestimated the power of this giant centipede, or rather, the number of centipedes under its command.

"This giant centipede has too many offspring, too many to be normal," Asha said with a frown.

"Although insect monsters don't have a high demand for food, with so many centipedes, they can eat up an entire mountain village in one meal. To feed the entire group, at least the strength of a country is needed." Oboro knows this better than Asha, so his expression is very serious.

"You mean someone provides food for these centipedes?" Izumi seemed to understand what Long meant, but she couldn't believe it.

"If no one provides enough food, even the giant centipedes will not be able to maintain such a large population, because whether it is hunting or eating people, it needs a huge territory to support it. Maintaining such a large territory is too easy to conflict with other monsters and attract the daimyo's army and powerful humans. Therefore, someone must provide food for these monsters, or meat." From the evil aura emitted by these centipedes, Long could tell that these damn things had all eaten humans.

"You have a good idea. If you are interested, you can join the Moroboshi family. We will provide you with better conditions and a place to show your own value." Karakumaru, who came over at some point, nodded and said, because she herself is the best example, she believes that they will make a wise choice.

In fact, Oboro and the other two really envy Teruka Maru.

Princess Fukushima was born noble, which they could not compare to, but Teruyamaru had obtained her current status and power through her own abilities and efforts. Even the arrogant samurai carried out her orders without any compromise, and no one looked down on her. They all showed respect. How could they not be envious of her?

As women, no one understood the difficulty better than Long and the other two, so even Asha, who had the strongest will, couldn't help but be moved.
