Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1467 1439. Hungry Ghost

A thin wooden door, without any support from other forces, was of course instantly shattered under Lan En's feet.

And when Lan En broke into the house nearby, it seemed that the force that pulled the man in had not had time to do anything to him.

When Lan En's figure broke through the door, the man who had just been dragged in was already lying on the ground, his hands firmly clasped on the floor.

It was as if his legs were being pulled, and after his body was dragged on the ground for a while, the drag force suddenly disappeared.

He was so frightened that he screamed strangely and hurriedly tried to get up from the ground. But his legs were weak and his hands were soft, so he had to hold on and fall several times before he rolled and crawled out of the house from Lan En.

Wearing only a loincloth and a top, the body rolled on the dirt and ran away. The loess on the ground was stuck to his sweaty thighs and butt.

But Lan En frowned and looked at the wooden hut whose door he had kicked open.

Most of the moonlight outside the door was blocked by his tall body, but there were still wisps of residual light that passed by the edge of his body and shone into the dimly lit room with shadows.

Looking at the light that was squeezed into a slit, Lan En frowned.

".It's not an illusion."

Outside the house, it became noisy because of an exclamation of 'monster' from a patrol in the distance.

But in the room in front of him, an oil lamp as big as a bean was emitting a dim light, illuminating only a small area in the depths of the room.

Silent and deep.

There were increasingly noisy battle cries outside, but inside the house there was a strange silence that seemed to be isolated from the outside world.

And Lan En's eyes caught a glimpse of something the moment he smashed the door.

It was the tip of a finely stitched ribbon, trailing on the ground and quickly shrinking from the light into darkness.

And the moment he saw the ribbon shrinking into darkness, Lan En did hear the voice that the man said just now.

‘It’s like the friction sound of cloth or broom brushing against the tatami’.

But there is no doubt that even Lan En's big house is not equipped with tatami mats, but only wooden boards, and this room is even more impossible.

The moment Lan En broke through the door, he immediately turned towards the darkness that was shrinking back toward the ribbon. When he looked over, the vertical pupils in his eyes shrank and focused, there was nothing in the darkness.

The original wooden floor was so simple that there was not even a single piece of furniture.

"First there were unknown forces and monsters. Now are you talking about Japanese horror monsters?"

Faced with the scene where the people who temporarily stayed here were quickly frightened and collapsed, just like a horror movie, Lan En just narrated it calmly.

"What a mess."

Immediately, Lan En didn't take another look at the dark and silent house in front of him.

Because with the experience of dealing with curses, ghosts, etc. as a demon hunter, and Lan En's superficial understanding of Japanese ghost stories, he also knows.

Such mysterious things are generally invisible and traceless, and some even have no logic.

It's hard to catch the tail before it comes to you.

And when I kicked the door just now, I heard the same sound as the man described.

There is no doubt that this thing may be 'contagious', or it may have targeted him.

There's no such thing as regret.

Although the other party is just a person he met for the first time, he asks for help.

But to be honest, Lan En is not afraid of these things at all.

His fear had been eliminated by him a long time ago.

Turning around and leaving, Lan En showed his back to the hut and something lurking in the darkness without caring, and walked towards the noise and fire in the village.

"monster!"

The five people on the patrol were the first to discover that there were monsters in the village. Although they had already alerted the village by shouting, this was only a village that was slightly famous as a post station.

The guards here are just militiamen, part-time workers of the villagers.

They are not capable of the orderly and rapid organization of a professional army, let alone the fact that there are not many Japanese armies in this era who can do this.

So after the shouting, there was indeed a noise in the village, but there was no time before a few people ran out of the house to help.

The five of them could only surround the discovered monster first.

The militiamen, who didn't even have a piece of iron on their bodies, held their weapons with sweaty hands and feet, and faced the monster with chattering teeth.

It was a monster that was not very tall, even smaller than ordinary people.

Basically it only reaches a person's waist.

But his short body does not make people feel at ease at all, only makes him feel frightened.

It has the outline of a humanoid, but its head and belly are surprisingly round and swollen, while its limbs and chest look as if they have been malnourished for a long time. They are skinny and withered, and the joints can be seen through the skin.

The hair on their big heads has almost fallen out, with only a few strands of hair clinging to their scalps. Their eyes are round and round, even a little bulging like a fish.

A psychedelic golden shimmer emitted from the sickly bulging belly.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! It's just a hungry ghost!" Kikuchi Sadaikichi also held the Minoden sword in his hand and whispered to himself to encourage himself.

The Meinong country's katana is not deeply curved, so it is suitable for stabbing and chopping.

Dingji, who usually idled around, faced a real monster in front of him, and when he took a deep breath, he only felt a warmth in his chest.

‘This is the beginning of establishing your own career and doing great things! ’

He thought inexplicably excitedly.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and even "monsters" that were only legendary in the past are now often heard of being witnessed openly.

His own father even beheaded him with his own hands!

Samurai not only have to use strong martial arts to kill enemies in battle, but killing monsters is also a way to become famous.

The famous samurai warriors such as Sakanoue Tamuramaro and Minamoto no Yorimitsu in Japanese history are also most famous for their achievements in killing demons and monsters.

And Dingji boasted that with his swordsmanship, which was recognized by his father, he would definitely be able to defeat a mere hungry ghost no matter what!

Dingji lifted Da Dao from his waist to the height of his face.

Then he stepped on the ground with his straw sandals and hurriedly took a few steps forward!

"Whoa whoa!"

The hungry ghost's skinny mouth kept making sounds as if he was tortured by hunger.

At the same time, his lightbulb-like eyes looked at all the living creatures around him with longing and resentment.

Seeing Dingji approaching on his own initiative, the hungry ghost whose body was only driven by appetite immediately pounced on him.

Its head and belly are both big, so when it runs, it's like its skinny limbs are swaying, shaking the upper and lower balls.

Although Kikuchi Sadayoshi was nervous, long-term practice allowed him to successfully display his sword skills.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The handle of the knife, which was originally held at the height of the side of the face, was raised directly above the head when approaching the hungry ghost!

Lean forward and slash with the strength of your upper body!

This is the basic move of [upper configuration]!

The movement is slower and slower than [Middle Configuration] and [Lower Configuration], but it is the most powerful!

Meinong's sword strike made a sound that broke through the air, and he took advantage of the hungry ghost's attack to hit the opponent's big head with the blade!

There was a crisp sound of ‘click’!

Using the blade to chop hard objects directly, Daisuke Kikuchi would definitely feel sorry for that knife after seeing his son's actions.

But at the same time, if this is the first time you face a monster and you can maintain your composure and use your sword skills, you might feel happy.

But right now, Kikuchi Sadayoshi only feels that the tiger's mouth of his palm hurts and feels hot!

‘It’s indeed a monster! ’ He subconsciously thought, “So hard!”

When this knife was used to cut down on a normal person, he estimated that he could cut the blade directly to the depth of the opponent's head from the top of his head to his nose.

But the hungry ghost in front of me.

"Whoa whoa!"

It screamed strangely, and its round belly and head were knocked backwards and fell over. The posture that was originally charging forward turned into a rolling gourd rolling backwards.

There is a gap visible to the naked eye on the forehead where the hair has fallen out.

You can see inside the skull!

But it was still not dead, it was just knocked to the ground and was a little dazed.

Moreover, the few times it was knocked backwards and rolled to the ground also widened the distance between it and Kikuchi Sadayoshi.

Listening to the strange cry of 'wow' that gradually became clearer again, the other party should stand up immediately!

"drink!"

At this time, one of the four militiamen was a little bolder. He saw this as an opportunity, but the companions around him who were holding long spears and most suitable for finishing wounds were hesitant and did not dare to step forward.

So he gritted his teeth, shouted to give himself courage, raised his knife and stepped forward, with the tip of the knife pointing downwards, and stabbed the hungry ghost who fell to the ground!

Kikuchi Sadayoshi, who chopped the hungry ghost into a rolling gourd with a knife, also re-adjusted his center of gravity at this time, took two steps forward and wanted to join in the attack.

But the militiaman who first stabbed him with the knife now had an expression of horror and disbelief in his eyes.

"How could it be? It's so hard!"

Unlike Kikuchi Sadaikichi, even though he had never really encountered a monster in his previous life, his samurai father had always been training him.

How can militiamen have the opportunity to exercise since childhood?

It's very rare to be able to swing a knife dozens of times without taking a breath.

The difference between insiders and outsiders may not seem big at ordinary times, but at this critical moment when every second counts, the difference is immediately apparent!

The militiaman's grip on the knife was not stable enough, and the tip of the knife suddenly struck a hard object, which was the hungry ghost's back.

The stagnant sword pressed against the hilt, almost causing the militiaman's chest to hit his own hilt!

And even with such effort, the tip of his knife only penetrated less than an inch!

For a hungry ghost who doesn't even care about a cut on his forehead, it's just a small scratch like a scratch!

On the contrary, taking advantage of this attack that could not even break the defense, the hungry ghost woke up faster!

When Kikuchi Sadaikichi quickly came to it with a sword in hand, the hungry ghost had already stood up again quickly!

And not just stand up

"Whoa whoa!"

Amidst the strange screams, the hungry ghost stood up again, as if something was released from his body.
