"Abba!"

The matter of exploring the path has been handed over to the little old man's body.

The scout clone usually stays by the deer's side, so it is also familiar with the aura of Qiudao and can track it.

When they reached a section of the road without street lights, the scout in front stopped briefly and pointed in the direction of the forest on the side.

On the hillside, you can see a series of footprints with smaller shoe sizes.

"Are these Naixun's footprints?"

Xiaolu took two deep breaths and regained his composure. The Bodhi rosary in his palm slid once again and shone slightly.

There is indeed a relatively fresh, autumn-like smell here.

"Naixun went up the mountain?"

Luyewu looked towards the dark forest beside the road. There were only dim tree shadows on the hillside.

She didn't think much about it and chased up the hillside at once.

We traveled a little further.

"Fur!"

The sending wolf whose coat color blends with the white snow appears.

The lantern hanging around its neck swayed, emitting a peaceful light that steadily illuminated its surroundings, and it followed closely beside the fawn.

In the mountains and forests, the smell of autumn trails is even stronger.

The snow at the foot of Luye House is also thicker.

"that……!"

On a pine tree in front, there was a bright red color fluttering.

It was a scarf, the same style as the one the deer was wearing today.

She and Akimichi bought this together when they were in Tokyo.

The footprints on the ground that belonged to the autumn path, one deep and one shallow, disappeared here, replaced by extremely messy claw marks that resembled those of wild beasts.

With the help of the light from the lantern sent by the wolf, we can see that there are many such paw prints in the dim woodland around us. A lot of strange things may have appeared here.

Besides that, there are... what look like rut marks.

They are not modern car tires. The ruts are very narrow, just the kind of marks left by the wooden wheels of oxcarts that can occasionally be seen in TV dramas.

Also, the deer smelled a decaying cold smell here, mixed with the fishy smell of sneaky beasts.

"This is the smell of strange stories."

The judgment of inspiration and smell is not wrong.

Normal living creatures would not carry such a smell, this must be some kind of weird story.

"Little grandpa, have you contacted Master?"

Xiao Lu opened her satchel, grabbed the copper chain and shook it, and the [Shengde Imperial Incense Burner] was thrown out with a familiar clatter.

"Abba!"

Of course, the scout had already reported the matter on Towada's side to his master Kamiyagawa through the original body.

"There is no smell of blood here, or even any smell of injury. Naixun must have been abducted by some kind of ghost here. In addition, the smell here is very fresh, which means that it happened not long ago... so I still have a chance to save

Return to Naixun."

Xiaolu quickly analyzes the situation based on the information obtained so far.

With Matsuzawa's previous experience, coupled with the clear-minded effect of [Bodhi Rosary], she can be said to be calm when encountering emergencies.

"Little grandpa, can you tell the details of the strange stories happening here?" Kanoya continued to ask.

"Aba whined."

The little old man's clone nimbly climbed up the pine tree where Akimichi Nahiro's scarf was hanging. After sensing it for a while, he probably felt confident.

His body has a D-level rating.

Moreover, as the first Kaidan to follow Kamiyagawa, and with strong functionality, the little old man usually gets a lot of candles, and now he has even been promoted towards C-level.

His perception ability is naturally very strong.

In addition, he is used to seeing strong winds and waves with his master, and the little old man also has rich experience in identifying the strength of the ghost talk aura.

"Abba!"

He jumped off the tree branch and quickly wrote [Level C] in the snow.

The ghostly atmosphere that remains in this place is weak and abundant, but it vaguely forms a whole.

The little old man could feel that behind those weaker breaths, there was a faint trace of stronger evil spirits.

So there may be a big monster behind the small monsters, but it just doesn't appear directly here.

Grade C is a relatively objective estimate of the Kaitan Group as a whole.

The little old man is also quite skilled at inferring the overall strength of the Kaidan Group. After all, he has quite a lot of contact with the Hearse Group and the seven members of the Imperial Guard.

If Dashi, Gao Shan and others appeared alone in front of the little old man, he could more accurately deduce that the overall strength of the hearse group was approximately in the upper reaches of D level.

"C-level... If I weren't a top-notch C-level monster, I would have a chance of winning, right?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiaolu predicted this in his heart.

The two shikigami beside her——

Xianglang is an assassin-type damage dealer. On paper, his strength is in the upper reaches of D-level, and he needs to break through.

Ma Lu is a very good controller. After following Xiao Lu, he received extra care from Kamiya and was promoted from the original E level to D level. On paper, his strength is lower than D level.

The little deer itself is versatile and has a variety of auxiliary means. At the same time, it is loved by all the big guys in the spirit-removing world, and it carries a variety of spirit-removing tools.

She can greatly enhance the actual combat level of shikigami, and it can also supplement a certain amount of output.

If such a combat team fights a battle with a higher rating, it is not completely impossible for them to win.

"Although the master is not here, neither is Master Bachi -"

The eight-foot girl is not with Xiaolu.

Before Kanoya's trip back to his hometown, Hachisha-na was arranged to be included in the statue of the god, and she is still replenishing her faith in the little tapir's shrine.

"But I can't ignore Naixun."

Luyewu held his weapon, regained his composure, and with a firm gaze, quickly followed the strange smell in the air and started trekking again.

Her idea is very simple and pure. She must hurry up and save her good friend before it's too late!

Xiaolu once lost an elder who treated her very well.

I usually study and train so hard, and although I occasionally complain, in fact I will grit my teeth and persevere no matter how hard it is, just to prevent similar things from happening around me again.

Now is the time to test the results of your daily learning.

"Abba!"

The little old man followed immediately. He couldn't be too far away from Luye House.

The scout did not stop his eldest daughter's behavior.

In fact, the little old man has only one most important task when he follows Xiaolu -

Keep the deer safe.

If the two options of "putting Miss Kanoya in danger" and "putting Miss's friends in danger" were presented to the scout, he would choose the latter without hesitation.

But this decision does not hold true at this moment.

If there is a head-on conflict with C-level monsters, the young lady will not encounter any danger.

The little old man has such confidence.

And this confidence does not come from the trust in the strength of the Kanoya team, but from the back-up that the owner has left here.

Xiao Lu had the experience of falling into Matsuzawa once. With Kamiyagawa's worrying personality, how could he really let his apprentice return to Aomori for more than half a month with only two D-level shikigami?

What if something happens again?

It is true that the eight-foot girl did not come with her this time, but arranging a replacement to be by the disciple's side is not a difficult task given the current size of Kamiya's forces.

However, Xiaolu didn't know about Shengu's arrangement to get the little old man's clone here.

This girl really thought she was traveling back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.

This is what silent fatherly love looks like.

"Abba."

The little old man's clone always follows Lu Yewu.

He also felt a little urgent at the moment.
