Chapter 43 Gathering on the Island in the Lake

Liu Yufei abandoned the path of redemption and chose to stand with Eboshi, while Ashitaka remained steadfast. So, upon seeing Eboshi's reaction, he immediately rushed towards San's direction.

He has already delivered the message, but even Huanji, the master of Dadara, hasn't returned. What can he do?

"Lord Black Hat, let's go back!!"

Finally, Gangshan cautiously approached, and the monk with the lumpy head immediately looked at him, his murderous intent already revealed. Finally, Huanji spoke:

"I have given them all the best equipment. Their lives are their own responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei's brows immediately furrowed. Yes! One's destiny is ultimately determined by oneself.

Princess Eboshi had three opportunities to retreat: the first was Liu Yufei's persuasion, the second was Ashitaka's obstruction, and the third was Okayama. One was a powerful figure, one was an outsider, and one was one of her own, but none of these three "advices" could sway Princess Eboshi's resolve.

She ignored Ashitaka, she distrusted Liu Yufei, and as for Gangshan, he was Princess Eboshi's subordinate—subordinates couldn't make decisions for their leaders, and Princess Eboshi, in her high position, had few people around her to make decisions for her. She didn't know how to back down, nor would she. She knew who her enemies were, but she didn't know who her friends were.

At this moment, Huanji's heart was certainly not at peace, as could be seen from her flickering eyes, but she had already gotten used to deliberately going alone.

Like the wild boar, Huanji also gambled everything, losing miserably and winning meant being reborn from the ashes, but this was just her personal fantasy.

Even if the boar tribe wins, they cannot be reborn, because the pace of humanity will never stop, and the same goes for the Dadara. No matter how many times you win, you will fall into the dust once you lose!

The key issue is that the biggest hidden danger right now isn't those famous figures, but rather the pesky monk who's been keeping a close eye on her.

"The island in the middle of the lake is just ahead, and the Qilin Beast is right there!"

Finally, following Huan Ji's words, she decided to fire the god-slaying shot. Ahead of her lay "a smooth road."

The musketeers behind them walked up to the monk with the bulging nose and said:

"Master, this woman is no longer of any use to us!!"

The monk had already noticed this flaw, and it was only then that he revealed his ultimate goal.

"Heh, killing a god comes at a price, so let her take care of that!"

Although the monk with the bumpy nose was talking with a smile, his eyes were fixed on Liu Yufei not far away. For him, the most difficult thing to deal with right now was not Huan Ji, but the young man in front of him.

Or perhaps he simply couldn't handle Liu Yufei, so after quickly dismissing the others, he walked over to Liu Yufei and said:

"Hehehe, young man, tell me your conditions!!"

Unlike Ashitaka, who tried to please both sides, Liu Yufei tried to please neither. Seeing this, Liu Yufei smiled and said:

"Haha, easy! You wanted the head of the Qilin beast, right? How about I have the body?"

"Hehe, great! Anyway, I can't take that thing with me!!"

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

After saying that, Liu Yufei strode forward, and the musketeers behind him immediately said:

"Grandmaster..."

The monk immediately raised his hand to stop him. That was the good thing about the monk; compared to Ashitaka and Princess Eboshi, he was the only one who didn't like taking risks, but dared to take them.

At this moment, Liu Yufei is asking for something, whether it's true or false, their interests have already diverged. The most crucial point is that he can't deal with Liu Yufei. When faced with something he can't solve, the monk never tries.

"In the end, he was just a pitiful man who stole divine power but had no divinity!"

In the end, Monk Geda smiled and watched Liu Yufei's retreating figure before defining him.

Ashitaka also ran to the lakeside at this moment, but did not find the Kirin God. As time passed, the island in the middle of the lake was no longer as bright as before, and the surroundings were dark.

Because of the rain, the entire island in the middle of the lake has been completely submerged. Only a few large trees on it remain standing. The lake water contains the natural power of the entire forest.

But Ashitaka had no time to care about any of that, because he saw Mona lying in the lake. Although Liu Yufei had healed her injuries, Mona's natural life force was about to end.

She lay here not to pray to the Qilin God for a new life, but to wait here on purpose, clinging to her last breath with the lake water, wanting to use her last strength to deliver the final blow to Huanji.

"Mona, what's wrong? Shan... Shan..."

Ashitaka couldn't see San, so he was extremely anxious. He quickly stopped calling out. A huge figure appeared before him—the demonized Otsuki had finally arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.

Fortunately, Shan didn't end up on his fangs as she did in the original story. Instead, the one charging ahead was the Wolf God, whose life was also nearing its end.

Ashitaka...

"Shan..."

San leaped into Ashitaka's arms, while the wolf god plunged into the lake. The life force contained in the lake prevented his injuries from worsening. As long as the Kirin God appeared, he would definitely save this young life.

Before Ashitaka could rejoice for long, a dense horde of hunters rushed out. The situation was now completely under their control. At the forefront were still the hunters clad in animal skins, followed by fully armed reinforcements.

A blowgun dart shot out of the pig's eye, and Ashitaka dodged it while holding San. They had already reached the island in the middle of the lake, and the hunters no longer needed to disguise themselves.

"Control him! The Qilin beast is about to appear!!"

Clearly, they had timed it perfectly; they couldn't let Ashitaka ruin such a golden opportunity. The group then charged forward.

Seeing this, Ashitaka finally made up his mind, his curse intensified, and he cleaved the person in front in two with a single stroke. At this moment, Otsuki also slowly began to move.

"Jacques deer, run!!"

Ashitaka, holding San, didn't forget to let the deer Yak escape. Meanwhile, the two hunters behind him were caught off guard and were trampled underfoot by the worm. The worms instantly swallowed them up, leaving only their desperate screams.

But Ashitaka's crisis was not over. The hunters immediately surrounded him, but because they were afraid of disturbing the Kirin god, they dared not use bombs or firearms.

Ashitaka and San were immediately entangled. Ashitaka was still able to resist because of the power of the curse, but San was in much more danger.

Upon seeing this, Mona, who had been asleep, finally opened her eyes.

"Heh heh heh, I was planning to save my strength for that woman, how laughable!!"

At that moment, hatred overcame maternal love, and Mona suddenly stood up and charged towards the hunters.

"Grandma!!!"

Seeing the White Wolf God's swaying body, tears streamed down Shan's face, but her hands did not stop moving.
