There were some tourists gathered here in twos and threes. Although he didn't listen specifically, Onmizu Kazuhiko could still learn from their conversation that there seemed to be a landslide on the mountain road deep in Mount Kumotori. The official announcement of Mount Kumotori said that it was not recommended to travel up the mountain in the short term.

Similar messages were constantly circulating on the electronic bulletin board at the trailhead.

Of course, this is not the point. Wen Shuiheyan carefully looked at the words sliding on the bulletin board, and his eyes unconsciously became serious.

“…No casualties?”

What I heard from my sister Yoshiki didn't seem so heartwarming.

Then he looked at the dark and deep trail entrance and couldn't help swallowing.

Although Jiashu repeatedly warned them not to go into the mountains and just find a place to release the two snakes in the bag, Wenshui Heyan was still a little worried. In addition, in his impression, the snakes did not seem to move very fast.

"It should be fine if it just goes up a little bit."

Wen Shui Heyan muttered softly to himself, and then, while no one was paying attention, he carefully entered the mountain through the undeveloped woods nearby, wading through waist-high bushes.

Of course, Wen Shuiheyan is very self-aware. He knows very well that he does not have the survival ability in the wild like Bear Grylls who can eat a photographer alive or De Ronnie who can go without food (including hair) for three days and still survive and be rescued.

So after walking a little further inside and making sure that the people below the mountain could not see him, he carried his bag and trudged through the bushes, returning to the main mountain path.

While stumbling along the mountain path, they would occasionally come across forks in the road. Whenever this happened, Wen Shui and Yan would open their shoulder bag and check which direction the snake head sticking out of it was pointing.

However, Wen Shuiheyan felt that perhaps because he was just a Muggle, the two snakes in the bag sometimes had difficulty communicating.

"Listen carefully, there are only two roads you can take now: east and south. If you keep looking west, I'm going down the mountain!"

After this happened many times, Wen Shui He Yan suddenly realized: If there was nothing wrong with the two snakes, but the problem was with his understanding, then they kept looking in the direction behind him. Could it be that there really was something behind him?

Thinking of this, Wen Shui Heyan suddenly got goosebumps. He looked behind him from time to time, but could not see anything except lush vegetation. But perhaps it was a psychological effect, he began to feel that he did occasionally see a fleeting shadow on the mountain path behind him.

The mountainside can be said to be the place with the most dense vegetation. The mountain roads from the foot of Yunqu Mountain to the mountainside are not narrow. After all, even RVs can pass through. The real narrow paths are those leading to the top of the mountain, which often have only steep steps made of stones.

However, even this relatively spacious mountain road was blocked by the canopy-like treetops on both sides of the road, blocking almost all sunlight, so that a considerable stretch of the road was as dim as at night.

Fortunately, there are small huts for rest near the mountainside. Even though the huts on Yunqu Mountain are no longer open to the public because they are too dilapidated, it is still no problem to use them to take a short rest because there is no one guarding them.

"I hope it's just my illusion..."

Wen Shui Heyan rubbed his temples and felt a lot of psychological pressure. He began to regret his decision to walk into the mountains rashly.

"It doesn't matter. The Mountain Item is a monster that only attacks women..."

He encouraged himself in a voice that even he could hear trembling: "And we don't have to climb any further. Just a little further and we'll be able to release the snake, and then I can leave."

At this moment, a long and teeth-grinding creaking sound was heard from outside the house, as if the old wooden floor was being stepped on.

Ordinary small animals would never be able to make such a noise. The thing outside the house is at least a creature about the same size as a human.

The moment he realized this, Onmizu Kazuhiko retreated to the corner of the hut and began searching for a window through which he could escape and a stick that could be used as a weapon.

However, the person who appeared at the door was Takuma Asakura, whom he had met once before.

The other person looked a little dusty, his clothes were a little messy, he was covered in dust, and his trouser legs were splashed with mud. He didn't have the feeling of an elite student when we first met him in the society's hut. Instead, he looked a little rustic.

Especially since there was another sick-looking, very rare pink python wrapped around his neck.

"Asakura-kun!"

Wen Shuiheyan hurriedly spoke out.

"It's you... You arrived so quickly. Was there someone in the cabin at that time?"

Asakura Takuma's sharp gaze swept over, but when he saw it was Onmizu Kazuhiko, the sharpness in his eyes immediately subsided a lot: "That's really lucky. I thought it would take my snake a long time to find them. Onmizu-san, thank you."

Onmizu Kazuhiko felt that Asakura Takuma looked at him with a complicated look, with a bit of surprise and distress.

"No need to thank me. I'll go down the mountain after I deliver your things."

He said hurriedly.

"No matter what, I'm grateful that you're willing to risk your life to help me."

Asakura Takuma spread his hands towards him and said, "Let's talk later. Where's Napoleon?"

"it's here."

Wen Shui and Yan quickly took off the shoulder bag and put it on the ground, then opened the buttons and let the two snakes inside crawl out.

Then he looked in surprise at the small snake used as a guide that was directly wrapped around Asakura Takuma's palm. At this moment, Onmizu Kazuhiko discovered that Asakura Takuma's right palm and little finger seemed to be missing a piece, as if someone had cut off his little finger and the palm behind it together. At this moment, the body of the small snake that led the way quickly collapsed as if it had melted. The body that originally had a faint black ring pattern gradually turned flesh-colored, and finally merged into one with Asakura Takuma's right hand, completing Asakura Takuma's lost little finger and the small half of the palm.

"That, that's..."

Wen Shui and Yan Yan watched all this in amazement.

"It's just a small bet, don't take it too seriously."

Li Mo said disapprovingly.

After all, the Great Blessing's teleportation can only be used by him, and there is no way to activate it on the snake alone. But if the idea is reversed slightly, what if that 'snake' is also him?

It turned out that his guess was correct. Even the part of himself that was transformed into a snake by the spell could activate the transmission of the Great Blessing alone.

However, this behavior of peeling off part of his own body would cause a great psychological burden to Li Mo. He probably felt that if one day more than 60% of his body turned into a snake, he would develop a personality disorder due to the anxiety-related mental state, and the final manifestation would probably be a bit similar to cyberpsychosis... Considering that this was caused by a curse, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it cursed psychosis?

So it’s okay to turn yourself into a snake, but it’s better to avoid or even not do something like turning yourself into a pile of snakes.

Chapter 124: Seeing Through.

"Ordinary snakes can't pinpoint my location very well. This snake, which was transformed from a part of my body, wants to become a part of me again, so it has a subtle sense of where my original body is. So, just follow it and it will find me."

Li Mo casually explained the situation of the snake to Wen Shui He Yan. At the same time, he naturally lifted Napoleon upside down by its tail and shook it to the ground.

Then something much larger than the golem's little snake fell out of Napoleon's mouth.

Most of them were very girly snacks, in addition there were bottles and jars similar to cosmetics, a dressing mirror and comb, a magazine titled "Love Fortune Telling - You and His Zodiac Sign", Li Mo even saw things like sanitary napkins in the pile.

He didn't stop tormenting Napoleon until the cursed camera fell out of the snake's mouth.

There was no way. After all, Napoleon was Yui Higashihama's familiar. Although Li Mo had a food chain-level suppressive power over Napoleon due to his strength, the other party would listen to his instructions a little, but it was only "a little". It was almost impossible for him to accurately take something out of the alien space in his stomach.

Li Mo chose a place that looked comfortable, at least without gravel and wood chips. He placed the big pink snake wrapped around his neck on the floor, and then lightly stroked the snake with his finger, and the big snake turned into a pink-haired girl.

"Yuigahama... No, who is this?"

When he saw the pink hair, Wen Shuiheyan was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately confirmed that the other person was not someone he knew.

"A friend I met while camping and investigating... I guess I can call him a friend."

Li Mo said uncertainly.

At this moment, the pink-haired girl who was originally lying quietly on the ground began to twist her body unconsciously, and began to make barely audible sounds such as "thump... whoosh... meah..." from her mouth.

"This is……"

Wen Shuiheyan was a little surprised.

"She is the cursed person mentioned in the recording,"

Li Mo replied: "Didn't you listen to the recording?"

"What I know is probably what Yoshiki relayed."

Wen Shuiheyan answered honestly: "Is it okay to continue like this?"

"Of course there's a problem, a big problem. If she continues like this she'll turn into a monster."

Li Mo shook his head, then picked up the cursed camera and took a picture of the girl.

After just a moment, the girl who originally looked very painful became much calmer. Although she had not woken up yet, at least her breathing had stabilized.

While waiting for the cursed camera to arrive, in order to prevent the girl from being swallowed by the curse, Li Mo had to keep casting spells to break the curse, allowing the girl to remain in the snake state for no more than five minutes each time.

But this kind of constantly changing experience would obviously exhaust a person's spirit. In addition, the girl was already tortured badly by the curse, so if she fell asleep now, it would probably take a long time for her to wake up naturally.

"Napoleon."

Li Mo gestured towards the golem snake.

The golem snake immediately opened its mouth to a degree that shocked Wen Shui and Yan Yan - the visual effect was like connecting a cooking pot to a rubber hose used for watering flowers - the kind used for cooking in the big pot at school.

In short, it is full of disobedience.

Coupled with the scene of the little snake swallowing the girl in one gulp, Wen Shuiheyan felt even more uneasy.

——Could it be that he just became an accomplice in a kidnapping case?

"Wenshui, take it down the mountain quickly."

Li Mo put Napoleon back into the bag and handed it to Wen Shui Heyan.

"What about you, Asakura-san?"

Wen Shui and Yan couldn't help but ask.

But after asking, he spat at himself inwardly: "Is there even a need to ask? Isn't it obvious what Asakura-san is going to do?"

"I want to get rid of the culprit."

As expected, Li Mo said in a deep voice without hesitation.

Wen Shui and Yan Yan were silent for a moment.

But after only a moment, he said, "I can help."

"what?"

Li Mo was stunned.

"You're holding a camera so you can turn into a girl and draw out that monster that's hostile to women, right?"

Onmizu Kazuhiko said seriously, "But that monster will definitely be difficult to deal with, because last time in that hut, you didn't show such a serious expression. Although I don't distrust your ability, if, I mean if, you get attacked while transformed into a woman... then no one can stop it!"

Onmizu Kazuhiko said in a desperate tone, "So, let me become a girl and use me as bait! After all, this isn't the first time, so I should be able to disguise myself as a woman more easily than you, Asakura-san!"

"How dare you question my womanhood! I guess I'll have to have a proper womanhood contest with you when we get back."

"Is that the point now? It's more like two boys competing in a woman's strength contest. Even if they win, there's absolutely no benefit!"

"Just a joke."

Li Mo smiled. He had originally had a neutral impression of Wen Shui He Yan, believing him to be just an ordinary person. But at this moment, the courage he displayed made him look at him with a different eye. "Although I am indeed a little troubled, it has nothing to do with the Mountain Piece. It's still quite weak, and it's just difficult to capture its true form, so I haven't been able to solve it yet... But now, I think I have some ideas."

"Really? That would be best."

Wen Shui and Yan felt relieved when they saw that Li Mo was not just comforting him casually but seemed really confident.

"By the way, although it may seem strange to ask this, but..."

Li Mo looked at Wen Shui He Yan and said, "When you came here, did you see any police or police cars at the foot of the mountain?"

"Huh? Do those security guards in uniform count?"

Wen Shui Heyan was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly.

"It doesn't matter, that's enough."

Li Mo stood up and said, "Take Napoleon and leave here first. I have a thorough understanding of the situation. If there are no major problems, we can probably put an end to all this today."

"Really? As expected of Asakura-san."

Wen Shui and Yan Yan exclaimed in admiration.

"correct,"

Li Mo paused again and warned: "When you leave, no matter what happens on the mountain, don't worry about it. No matter what, don't look back! Understand?"

"I understand."

Chapter 125, limited to one.

Convenience store at the Kumotoriyama Campground.

At this moment, the convenience store no longer had the brightness and normalcy it had yesterday.

The lockers filled with goods had disappeared, replaced by a rusty metal operating table. The LED lights on the ceiling were dim. Amid the distracting noise of the diesel generator, the emergency bulbs were emitting a dim orange glow, highlighting the red lines drawn with unknown material on the operating table and the large black stains.

The windows of the convenience store were sealed with wooden boards, and a rolling shutter was lowered directly on the glass door. It was not the thin ordinary rolling shutter, but a steel rolling shutter for disaster prevention, which was as thick as its price.

At this moment, the convenience store has become a kind of secret room.

Huo, Huo.

The sound of the knife grinding on the whetstone seemed to have some kind of magic. Even the noise of the noisy diesel engine was penetrated by it and fell clearly into the ears of the survivors huddled in the corner of the room, making them tremble even more violently.
