Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Fan Yu looked surprised: "Spell?"

His sight quickly moved to the direction where the smoke and dust were moving rapidly. A small figure, leaving behind a trail of thick smoke, quickly fled from a distance.

However, the moment its figure was discovered, its short legs were destined to be unable to escape the footsteps of the human Fan Yu.

It only quickly flashed across a distance of 7-8 meters, and its speed was so fast that the naked eye could not catch up with it. However, Fan Yu still dodged in front of the opponent and intercepted it on the spot.

The demon fox hurriedly braked and wanted to turn around and change direction.

But its neck had already been lifted by Fan Yu.

"Beep, beep, beep!" The fox demon screamed in surprise.

This human was indeed very scary. His smoke spell didn't even confuse the other party for a second.

Its voice immediately brought the other little foxes back to their senses.

"Beep, beep, beep! (Master Ji has been captured by humans!)"

"Hey (Zhengcheng), hey, hey, hey (You and Ningbu Xiaopan quickly report to Master Gobazo)..."

The two raccoons let out panicked and confused cries. After reaching a consensus, they instantly burrowed into the ground of the Guardian Forest, and then fled away quickly like groundhogs.

Fan Yu stayed where he was, holding the demon fox, looking a little surprised.

He exchanged a glance with the nine Saras beside him: "These little guys are really fast."

"Is it possible that that's the way the raccoons communicate with each other? After one of their companions is caught, they let the rest of them escape." Kujo Sara reminded tactfully.

However, surrounded by a bare lawn, the forest, which was originally reflected in the moonlight and was gorgeous, has now become unattractive.

Fan Yu looked down at the demon fox master Ji in his hand: "Is there any way for us to communicate?"

Kujo Sara: "I'm afraid that won't work."

However, the demon raccoon in Fan Yu's hand turned towards Fan Yu and worshipped him. Then a layer of golden ripples appeared on its body surface, and it made a "beep beep beep" sound from its mouth.

But when Fan Yu spoke, he explained, "I am Master Ji, serving under Lord Gobazo. Please let me go, human."

Fan Yu was slightly startled, then turned his gaze to Kujo Sara on the other side: "Do you know Gobai Zang?"

"What?!" Kujo Sara's expression froze.

She immediately explained, "The legend of the raccoon dogs in this area is about the 'Ridiaozi'. Hundreds of years ago, a group of humans entered this area and transformed several of the existing yokai into stone statues. One of these famous yokai is 'Gohyakuzo', the source of many raccoon dog legends."

Fan Yu: "Oh?"

……

the other side.

Located deep in the Guardian Forest, in front of a fat stone statue of a demon raccoon.

Several raccoons that had escaped earlier came here, making panicked "beep beep" sounds.

"Master Gohyukura, Master Ji has been captured by humans."

"That human blew away all our hiding places. We were no match for him."

A calm voice came from the stone statue: "Don't panic, how can this be disgraceful?!"

"Lord Gobazo..." The two little raccoons raised their heads and looked at the motionless stone statue in front of them with longing in their eyes, hoping that it could uphold justice for their raccoon clan.

A calm voice sighed, "After hundreds of years, another despicable human has entered the barrier of the Guardian Forest.

But don't panic. We knew the moment that human entered the Earth Realm. You were simply careless and fell for his despicable trick. When he reaches us, we will naturally let him experience the fruits of his five hundred years of cultivation.

There was an absolute confidence in the steady voice (Gohyakuzo).

however……

That's what it says.

Ever since that despicable human sealed it in this forest hundreds of years ago, he also has the ability to perceive this sealed place.

The savage who had seen through the barrier from the start and forcibly broken it was, in his perception, incredibly powerful. And the move that had just razed his territory with a single blow... You have to know that every flower and blade of grass in the Guardian Forest is actually generated by demonic energy.

The reason why the demon foxes can play freely here without being discovered by outsiders is mainly because of this barrier and the influence of the demonic power contained in it.

So that seemingly ordinary blow actually destroyed all the material flowers and plants, as well as the demonic power residing in them.

and……

It looked like the opponent just used a basic attack, without much effort at all.

Such a guy reminded it of those despicable humans hundreds of years ago. Where did they come from?

The two little raccoons could not see any expression on the solid and frozen stone statue of Gobazo, so naturally they could not hear Gobazo's thoughts.

But Master Gobazo had been silent for so long that the two little raccoons couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Master Gobazo, Master Ji is still in the enemy's hands. If we continue..."

"Don't worry, Master Ji will be fine. Under our intimidation, that human dared not move!"

The two little foxes immediately felt relieved.

Located at the main road leading to the depths of the Guardian Forest, after using the translation spell displayed by the demon raccoon in front of him, Fan Yu successfully asked the other party's name and some things about the Guardian Forest.

He then asked about the unknown warrior from whom he had acquired the skill. Master Ji's eyes showed a blank expression: "I don't know... It's such a long time ago, only Master Gohyukura knows about it."

Fan Yu: "Is it that Wubai Zang again?"

At this moment...

[Yes, it is me!]

25 If the statue is smashed, I will die

Suddenly, a voice came from the illusory forest ahead.

It has a steady voice that suggests a meticulous and dogmatic figure.

Fanyu and Jiutiaosala swept around.

The magical thing is that the direction from which the sound reached their ears was neither the left nor the right, nor the front or the back... but the blue will-o'-the-wisp fires that gathered from all directions.

"The sound comes from these strange flames. No... even they are just a medium. The real person behind the scenes may be above my head." Kujo Sara keenly noticed this contradiction and subconsciously looked above his head.

But above their heads, there was only a piece of moonlight and nothing else.

Fan Yu sensed the various fluctuations in the atmosphere through his [Harmonious Bliss] perspective and said thoughtfully, "This must be a kind of echo within the barrier. It can isolate the direction of the sound, using these will-o'-the-wisp fires as a transmission medium to shield its own position."

The two people's analysis seemed to make the mysterious existence feel very embarrassed.

Its voice rang out again: [Put down Master Ji, the human, and the shameless Tengu who are in cahoots with the human race!]

"Shameless..." Kujosha was stunned.

The voice came again: [Yes, the filthy Tengu.]

Kujo Sara clenched his fists and his face gradually turned darker.

She is dressed like this to facilitate combat, and her entire body is uncovered except for her legs. How can she not be shameless?

Only some old-fashioned people who don’t know how to adapt would say this!

Fan Yu carried the demon fox mage Ji and said, "It can't answer my questions, so it's up to you."

The steady voice was silent for a moment, then said solemnly: "Alright, let it lead you forward. All your questions will be answered. Come and see me!"

Then, from Fan Yu's observation, the wavelength transmitted by the owner behind the voice disappeared.

Fan Yu put Master Ji down. The little demon fox immediately breathed a sigh of relief and made a gesture of gratitude. Then, its figure suddenly merged into the ground, and then emerged from a small pit about seven or eight meters away, waving at Fan Yu.

"Does this mean we should follow?"

Master Ji nodded quickly from a distance.

"Will they let us straight into their lair so easily?" Kujo Sara thought about it for a while, then raised his chin and asked, "Could this be a trap?"

Fan Yu looked unconcerned: "It doesn't matter, whether it's a trap or something else, just follow it and you'll find out the truth."

Kujo Sara was speechless. Only this man would regard such a thing as fun in such a gloomy and strange place.

But she couldn't say anything more about it.

As Fan Yu stepped forward, she had no choice but to follow him.

They hiked along the ghost fire area between the two forests. The winding upward path was obviously not for human progress. The distance between each stone step was very close, and Fan Yu could cross two or three steps in one step.

We kept going forward for several minutes.

Fanyu and Kujo Sara came to the deep end of the Guardian Forest.

A huge, fat stone statue of a raccoon appeared before their eyes. It clearly showed signs of aging. A lot of moss had covered its body, and some of its limbs had completely become one with the soil, as if they were sunk into it.

There are some tributes placed on both sides of the statue.

Standing on one side of the tribute were Master Ji and the two little raccoons that Fan Yu had discovered earlier.

"Welcome to our shrine, humans and Tengu." The calm voice sounded again.

Kujo Sara stared at the statue suspiciously. Although the statue had changed its tune this time, the plump statue before her, mixed with her, was completely different from what she had imagined.

"Is that you?"

"Of course. I used to be the world-famous demon raccoon master Gohyuko. One day, I will use the eight-tatami-sized... ahem, don't look at me as a stone statue now. In the past, I was an official appointed by the Grand Gosho, a great man known as "Hidshin Hoshoji Sho Gohyuko"!

"Our duty is to protect the Guardian Forest. To preserve the water, soil, and spiritual veins here. Look, under our care, the Guardian Forest has become so beautiful." Gobazo's voice was filled with false pride.

But in fact, it still feels a little guilty inside.

Letting the other person get close to you is a very bold decision.

It can't do anything now, and its demonic power is not enough. It only has a little reputation and information intelligence, while the opponent's strength is extremely powerful.

However, allowing the enemy to continue wreaking havoc in the Guardian Forest would also be a huge loss to the monsters that worshipped it. So Gobazo had no choice but to step in and let the enemy come directly to him.

Of course, it actually has a little bit of scheming in its heart. It would be even better if the other party could help it unlock the seal with their strength.

Kujo Sara: "But I remember that you were not sealed by humans?"

Gobazo: “…”

All the beautiful ideas stopped at this moment.

The Guardian Forest fell into a brief silence.

Kujo Sara's words were like a sharp knife piercing Gohyukō's heart, causing it to break down.

However, after five hundred years of guarding it, weathering the wind and rain, its heart has long since smoothed out its edges. Many years ago, it would have cursed at such words, but now, it feels good to have someone to talk to.

"Hmph, I won't bother with a little Tengu like you." Gobazo said magnanimously.

However, Kujo Sara disagreed with its words: "Since you are sealed, you can't do anything. Even if you are a great youkai, your demonic power should have disappeared long ago."

"What do you know, little girl? If we hadn't promised others that we would abide by the agreement, we could have removed this broken seal whenever we wanted." Gobain scolded.

Kujo Sara didn't say anything more about Gohyakuzo's lack of confidence.

She turned her gaze to Fan Yu who was standing beside her, but she only saw Fan Yu staring at the stone statue in front of him motionlessly, with only his eyes shining brightly in the moonlight.

From Fan Yu's perspective, through the wavelength effect of induction, the stone statue in front of him was more like a shell that blocked the biological field.

And penetrating inside is Gobazo's true body.

The opponent's biofield releases a huge energy fluctuation.

Fan Yu stared at the stone in front of him: "If I help you smash this stone, how will you repay me?"

Wu Baizang was silent for a while before he said, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you. I will die."

26 The Seal is Released

Gohyakuzo, who originally planned to bluff, finally decided to tell the actual situation of his current condition.

It thought about using intimidating attitude to make these two people obey it.

But such a plan needs to take the actual situation into consideration. That little Tengu is not a brat who can be easily fooled, not to mention the human in front of it who is extremely powerful in its perception.

Fan Yu gave it the feeling that he was not a human being, but rather a giant beast that was trying hard to control its own power, as if it would destroy the forest if it was not careful.

Even though he has lived for a long time and has some basic knowledge of the powerful lives in history, Fan Yu's existence is still among the powerful ones among those he knows.

In this case, it is probably impossible for this little monster, which is already in its twilight years, to hide the truth from the other party.

Then there is the possibility that the other party will see through it...

Rather than lying and getting caught, Gobazo felt it would be better to just admit it.
