Miyako said goodbye to her friend Zhiwu, and gave Zhiwu all the trinkets she had not sold but scavenged.

"Then remember, you still owe me money, so you have to come back."

Zhiwu responded.

We will work hard to fulfill the promises we make.

Zhiwu was actually not worried that Mimizi would default on the debt.

But she did not stop Miyako from returning to Azuma River for revenge, because she knew that Miyako had been working hard for this goal.

Moreover, the little kappa is essentially just an outsider to the paradise. From Zhiwu's perspective, she has already helped everything she can, and the next step is up to her.

In the end, Zhiwu just told Miyako to take good care of herself, and if the revenge plan was difficult to complete, she should go back to the paradise first and consider the long term.

In fact, although the little kappa is a bit silly, she was able to travel a long distance from the Azuma River and arrive at the Dreamland in Nara safe and sound. During this period, she covered a very long distance. Being able to walk such a long distance in the ordinary world shows that she is at least protecting herself.

It's still smart enough at this point.

Otherwise, it would have become the food for evil monsters on the road.

Zhiwu believes she can come back.

…

Miyako's journey back home, from Paradise in Nara to Azuma River in Gunma.

Although the terrain conditions in the ordinary world do not necessarily correspond to those in reality, the distance between them is still real.

After leaving the paradise, the little kappa spent most of his time traveling through the river.

She travels faster in the water, and her strength is better displayed in the water. Whether it is fighting or escaping from danger, she will be more confident and relatively safe.

It took about six days for Miyako to arrive near the Kuzuryu River.

The current Kuzuryu River is located in Fukui Prefecture, in the north of Nara Prefecture, separated by Shiga Prefecture, and the geographical situation of Tsuneyosato is similar.

However, Miyako's original intention was to go to Gunma, but actually she had to take a long detour to reach the Kuzuryu River.

In fact, she didn't know the shortest route back to Azuma River, so she was just retracing her steps to the paradise.

Miyako didn't know much about the Kuzuryu River, but based on her previous experiences on the road, there were no powerful ghost stories in this river, at least not in the section of the river she had passed through before.

Walk along the Okawa River for a while, and then go southeast to get back to the Azuma River, although it will take a long time to walk.

"strangeness."

Mimizi poked her head out of the river.

It's really strange.

While sneaking along the river, the little river boy noticed that several ghosts had passed by in the forest beside the river.

Those strange stories seem to be the same as her, with the ability to "visit" across regions.

According to my previous experience of traveling, it is a bit abnormal for so many strange stories to appear one after another in a short period of time.

And those ghost stories seemed to be in a hurry.

"Are they trying to hide from something?"

Miyako sensed that there might be some potential danger somewhere ahead.

Sure enough, although he is not very literate or can do arithmetic, the little kappa is still pretty good in terms of experience in surviving in the wild.

She stopped temporarily and dived into the shallow water of the river to hide.

Miyako is very good at hiding herself in the water. After all, she is the one who often hides in the water and plays pranks on people.

After waiting patiently for half an hour, another strange figure appeared from the forest on the shore.

It was a woman wearing water-dry clothes, but she had a sharp mouth and fangs, her body was covered with thick black animal hair, and she was dragging a hammer in her hand.

Blacksmith.

A little-known traditional ghost story.

There is a story about this weird story——

It is said that a samurai went to Sakihama to find a well-known local blacksmith to forge weapons.

On the way at night, I encountered a vicious wolf attack.

The samurai fought hard and killed the wolf. When he arrived at Sakihama, he heard that the local blacksmith's wife had died suddenly last night and had transformed into an old black-haired wolf.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, from this story, the strange legend of Forging Lao was derived.

According to the original meaning of the name, this strange story is probably "The Blacksmith's Demonic Wife".

Miyako didn't recognize this kind of strange talk, but she could feel by her aura that the opponent was no match for her after being promoted. Moreover, the aura of the half-orc woman was very messy, and she was obviously injured.

After thinking briefly for a while, the little river boy quickly came ashore.

"hiss--!"

A figure suddenly jumped out of the river, frightening the already frightened Blacksmith woman again.

She swung the hammer in her hand and bared her fangs at Miyako fiercely.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Let's not fight, okay?" Miyako waved her hands repeatedly, "You look injured and in great pain."

"It has nothing to do with you."

The blacksmith took a few steps back and looked warily at the little kappa up and down.

good.

It seems that I can communicate.

"I wanted to go ahead, but there seems to be danger there. I have seen several ghost stories passing by in a hurry. That...what was the ghost story that hurt you?"

"A monkey."

"monkey?"

"It seems to be coming from the east."

"Ah?" Mimizi thought of something, and asked while gesturing, "Is it about this--- big, with a mouth this--- wide, black hair on the head, and a waving tail?

Like an iron rod?"

"Have you seen it?" The alertness on Tie Ye's face did not dissipate.

"That's Kawazoru! It's my enemy. It ate all my friends in Azuma River. I'm going to take revenge on it!" Miyako became excited.

Sichuan Yuan is also a foreign visitor.

Around the time Miyako fled to Nara, the monkey had also left the Azuma River and moved elsewhere.

"I advise you not to do this. The monkey was with another group of Kaitan from other places, and they had already captured Mount Changwei. Those Kaitan that didn't run away either joined them like the monkey, or were killed.

It’s gone. I guess it won’t be too long before that monkey and the group of strange strangers who also visit us will head towards the Kuzuryu River.”

"power?"

"I don't know where it came from, but if the ghost stories can be gathered together, there must be a very powerful special leader behind it."

The blacksmith was not interested in continuing the conversation with Miyako, so after finishing speaking, she dragged the hammer away.

"Hey! You can go all the way to the south. There is a big paradise over there. It's very safe!"

The little river boy did not forget to shout to the blacksmith who had walked away.

…

The Kawazaru that Miyako is looking for seems to be located near the Kuzuryu River, and he seems to have joined an unknown Kaidan force.

The current situation is so complicated that it is beyond the scope of Miyako's little mind.

After thinking hard for a while, she decided to hide near the Kuzuryu River to check the situation again.

Using the water vapor of the river to hide her aura, Miyako recuperated her energy here and stayed until the next night.

That night, there were sounds in the mountains and forests beside the river, accompanied by roars and wailing.

Miyako emerged from the Kuzuryu River and saw the mountain fires soaring into the sky, and the smell of burnt minced meat filled the air.

After lurking for a while, she saw ghostly figures appearing in the firelight. The hot flames and thick smoke made those strange figures distorted and hideous.

"Why are there so many? Well...it's impossible to defeat this, right?"

Except in the area controlled by Takamagahara, this was the first time for Miyako to see so many strange stories of different forms gathered together.

However, she did not find Kawazuru appearing.

In the strange stories on the other side of the mountain forest, the leader seems to be a huge mountain monster. Its body is covered with moss and it is extremely strong. It stands like a hill among the group of monsters.

The mountain demon lifted up a dissipating Kaitan head, threw it into his mouth and ate it, making a terrifying chewing sound.

Several little ghosts gathered around it, raised a horn and blew it.

Amid the passionate sound of the horn, a large flag was erected. The flag swayed and whirred in the heat wave, and was illuminated by the red firelight.

Miyako didn't know many characters, but she happened to recognize the characters on the flag——
