Chapter 351: Demon Hunter and Yasha Crow

Even in modern times with overproductivity, it is impossible to satisfy the insatiable appetite of war, a behemoth like us. Not to mention the low productivity in ancient times. The gap is even greater than that between a husband weighing 100 kilograms and a wife weighing 300 kilograms.

The long and endless war continues to exploit the lower classes. In the absence of any ability to resist, dissatisfaction and resentment continue to accumulate, giving rise to countless ghosts and monsters, providing a steady stream of new members for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

The most despairing thing is that there are no sword immortals who can slay demons and monsters in Japan, nor are there monks who can enforce justice. Even if local shrines and temples are willing to provide protection, it is because the local people have squeezed out their last bit of flesh and blood to provide for them. If this relationship does not exist, you will see that those masters do not care about the lives of ordinary people.

A shrine maiden like Kikyo is a legend both during her lifetime and after her death, precisely because there are so few of her.

The proliferation of demons and monsters has caused hundreds of demons to run rampant all over the main island. As far as the Moroboshi family knows, there are more than a dozen demon groups that have not yet been fully formed nearby. If expanded to the entire main island, even a tenfold increase is an understatement.

There are at least a dozen or more of these ghost groups, and at most more than a hundred. If there weren't too many duplicates to make a total of a hundred, they would have become a big deal long ago.

What is giving Yan Xu the most headache right now is that these ghosts are fine when they are weak and know how to avoid people, but the slightly stronger ones want to cause trouble, and the even stronger ones even run to prosperous places.

Unfortunately, the Moroboshi family became the first choice because of its prosperity and dense population. Because here, hundreds of demons parade at night, the fear that can be obtained is more than ten times that of other places.

Yan Xu smiled bitterly at this. Who would have thought that the prosperity of the territory would become a hidden danger.

In order to gain the ultimate victory and become the unique King of the Hundred Demons, the territory of the Moroboshi family is an irresistible temptation for those ambitious Hundred Demons teams that are still in the initial stages of development.

In this situation, if Yan Xu ignores these hidden dangers and insists on going to war with most of the main island forces, he will easily fail, because the hundreds of ghosts will never miss the opportunity to take advantage of the fire, and once the rear is empty, they will definitely cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu rubbed his brows, then pressed Mao Lilan's head. A newcomer is a newcomer. His skills in being submissive and persuasive are still too poor. It seems that he needs to ask Fukushima Ji, who is known as a deep well, for more guidance on a daily basis.

Princess Fukushima, who was standing by, didn't know that Yan Xu was praising her for her runny face, and she helped him peel the grapes. The grapes without the tight skin were soft and rich in sweet juice. When they were pinched by jade fingers and put into the mouth, they tasted even better. However, this did not interrupt Yan Xu's train of thought. He was working hard for the future of the Moroboshi family. It would be an underestimation of his concentration to be distracted by such a small matter.

"Master, the Demon Hunting Ninjas have agreed to be employed by the Moroboshi family and are currently gathering at Amano Castle." Mori Yu, who walked in, closed the door casually, turning a blind eye to the scene happening in front of him and joining in very smoothly, making Yan Xu even happier. It was not until Xianggui, who smelled the scent, came with a mace that he quickly put on his clothes and got down to work.

"The treatment of demon hunting ninjas is in accordance with the ninja standards of the Moroboshi family. Their purpose is to hunt demons, which is beneficial to the Moroboshi family. We must do a good job of logistics." Yan Xu asked Fukushima-hime to give all the fruits to Xianggui, telling her to stop smelling and eat quickly, and then asked Mao Lilan, whose face was still flushed, to open the window to ventilate.

"Okay, master. However, the process of searching for the Yasha Crows is not very smooth. They are too mysterious, and because they suffered a serious blow, they have become more cautious. Even the Demon Hunters don't know much, and we are still investigating." Mori Yu continued his report, and Yan Xu just nodded after listening.

Because of their inheritance and secret techniques, Demon Hunters and Yasha Crows are good at dealing with monsters and evil spirits, and similar to ninjas, their hiring price is relatively cheap, and they have become the targets of the Moroboshi family. However, now only Demon Hunters are willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Moroboshi family because their current situation is not very good.

The team of Oboro, Asha and Izumi has never been disbanded. They have completed many tasks during this period and their levels have been improved rapidly. However, this is no longer important because they have obtained internal quotas of the Moroboshi family and are considered regular staff. Therefore, they take on tasks more to accumulate merits in exchange for the things they like.

The treatment of the Moroboshi family is generous, but apart from the regular equipment, nothing else is provided. If you want better, besides receiving rewards, you can only rely on accumulating merits.

This is already very good. Most ninjas would not get any reward or even recognition even if they sold their lives.

The three people's mission this time was to pick up the arriving demon hunting ninjas. No other team was more suitable than them, and no one was more motivated than them. They left Amano Castle on a donkey cart early in the morning.

"I wonder which sister is coming this time." Asha, who was sitting on the donkey cart, said with some anticipation. "Except for us who have been staying in Amano Castle, the other sisters have no fixed place to stay and are hunting monsters everywhere. It could be any one of them. I just hope they can arrive safely." After joining the Moroboshi family, Oboro felt a little more relaxed. He frowned when he heard this, but he was more relieved in his heart.

The Demon Hunter Ninja's mission is to hunt demons, but in essence they practice with the help of the demons' power. Many experienced Demon Hunter Ninja have noticed this, but they just don't say it out loud.

But there are always some naive newcomers who believe it to be true, and really think they are shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the people. They often fight to the death, and end up like that.

Moreover, practicing with the help of the power of demons is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up in eternal damnation. Long has seen too many examples, so he no longer wants to live such a life.

But it is not so easy to escape from the Demon Hunter, even Long is not sure.

Fortunately, by chance, I joined the Moroboshi family, and my future is finally secure.

"There are more and more monsters now, and I don't know when it will end." Izumi suddenly sighed.

"Unless the world is unified and there is no more war, or the two main gods worshipped by the Moroboshi family can spread throughout Japan." Oboshi said, obviously seeing it very clearly.

"Obviously neither of them is possible." Although Izumi is naive, she is not a fool. She knows that both are impossible as long as she thinks about it.

Even though the country is unified now, the daimyo in various places are still fighting each other.

As for promoting the two main gods worshipped by the Moroboshi family, thinking about the temple shrouded in divine light and with divine power suppressing an area of ​​ten miles, her heart couldn't help but get excited. Maybe it was really possible.

When they arrived at the meeting place, the three men didn't see anyone and their hearts sank.

"I'm afraid something has happened. Izumi summoned Dodomaru." Oboro did not take any chances and responded immediately.

Izumi summoned Doudoumaru, who volunteered to be a Shikigami. This guy, who was sleeping soundly while holding a five-nut mooncake, was much fatter than before. It was obvious that the food was good during this period.

Doudouwan, who was kneaded like dough, yawned, put away the five-nut mooncake in his hand, then rolled on the ground, turned into a fat dog with a big tail, and began to sniff around. No one knew what he smelled, and his expression was very strange.

"What a strange smell. I don't know if it is what it is. Do you want to go and check it out?" Doudouwan stuck out his tongue and said with a disgusted look.

"Go, get your weapons ready." After saying that, Long took out a large-caliber smoothbore rifle from his back, Asha raised a striker rifle, and Izumi took out an expensive revolver.

Revolvers do not use integrated bullets. Each cylinder is an independent chamber. The gunpowder bullet is loaded into it, and the percussion cap is installed at the back. It can fire six rounds in a row. However, the loading is too cumbersome, so don't even think about it during combat, so it is more suitable for self-defense.

After getting ready, the three people and the raccoon cat moved in a certain direction in a standard combat team formation.

This is one of the benefits of joining the Moroboshi family. Compared to risking their lives, the Moroboshi family prefers to win with equipment. Even if Oboro and the others are ninjas and onmyojis, they can apply for firearms. If they apply in advance, they can also get support from soldiers. Otherwise, Oboro would not be willing to join the Moroboshi family.
