The footsteps of the crowd gradually faded away, the firelight dimmed, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be no one, and slowly opened her eyes.

What she saw was white cloth and a red knotted rope. Because of the posture, the collar was messy and staggered, revealing the slightly pale skin that was usually covered tightly, and she suddenly met Kagome.

Eh?

Something seemed to be pressing on the top of her head. Kagome's eyelashes fluttered twice, her slightly dazed eyes raised, and she raised her head slightly.

A strand of hair fell on Kagome's eyelids, and the slightly cool black hair covered his eyes. His eyes were hazy, and he instinctively wanted to shake his head to shake the hair off.

"Let me go."

Kikyo's voice sounded from above.

Kagome's movements froze, and she could not help but tighten her fingers when she sensed the posture of the two people. The place where the fingertips were pressed was slender and flexible.

The hand on his shoulder tightened as Kagome squeezed it. Kagome just stood there stiffly, lowering her head... No.

He kept this posture and stammered, "Wait, wait a minute, I'll change places."

He didn't forget the puddle of liquid on the ground.

Kagome moved two steps to the side, bent down and put the man on the ground, loosened her hand, stepped back two steps, and her hair slid across his face, shoulders, and ears.

It was a little itchy.

This was an accident, both of them realized, Kikyo nodded to him, "Thank you."

She understood Kagome's good intentions, although she had walked through dirtier battlefields, but it was better to avoid it.

The two of them tacitly put aside the process of picking someone up, knowing the reason well, why bother to care about it.

What's more... it's not the first time they did this.

As for the skin that was seen, that time with Li Tao... I saw everything that could be seen and couldn't be seen. It was just a little exposed chest, what was there to be embarrassed about.

It's not like he didn't have any before, Kagome thought secretly.

"You're welcome." Kagome grinned, "It's good that your socks didn't touch it. Girls must feel uncomfortable when they touch these things."

Compared to not caring about the hugging, he seemed calm now, but in fact, he wanted to rub his feet ten times in his heart.

Not knowing whether it was wet, Kagome staggered her feet and circled her toes in the tabi.

It didn't seem to be wet, and his heart was relieved a little, but he didn't know if it splashed on his clothes.

Thinking of this, Kagome felt uncomfortable all over, especially on her legs, as if it was tickled.

He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "Let's go find Di Nian'er quickly, otherwise it will be too late when the villagers get there."

He couldn't stay in this place for a second. It didn't matter if his body was dirty. Anyway, he was covered with a lot of dust after accompanying Kikyo to vent last night. He must take a good bath after solving the problem.

After making up her mind, Kagome hurried forward. Seeing that Kikyo didn't catch up, she waved back, "Hurry up, Kikyo."

Kikyo glanced down at his feet, "...I'm coming."

-

The villagers walked very fast, and Kagome and Kikyo took a shortcut and reached the house where Di Nian'er was one step faster than them.

The house was brightly lit, and it was obvious that someone was inside.

Without even having time to catch her breath, Kagome knocked on the door of the house in a hurry, "Di Nian'er! Someone wants to hurt you, come out and find a place to hide."

After knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside. Kagome was anxious and immediately changed her words, "Grandma, I know you are in there, I'm not here to hurt Di Nian'er."

"I'm here to help him. A large group of villagers have already rushed over on the way here. They want to hurt Di Nian'er and burn down your house!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened from the inside with a bang, and Kagome's hands were empty.

An old but angry voice rang out, "Damn it! Isn't it enough to bully him?! I've already said that this kid won't eat human organs, and we didn't do anything at all!"

A grandmother stood in front of the gate holding a wooden stick, waving it and yelling.

"Come on! Come at me if you dare, I'll beat them up!"

The wooden stick almost stabbed Kagome's chest, and Kagome stepped back, "Ah... Be careful, grandmother."

"You guys?" The person who came was Di Nian'er's mother. She looked at Kagome warily and stayed on Kikyo, who was wearing a witch costume, for two more seconds behind him.

She retracted her arms, "You are not from the village, are you? The shrine maiden... is she the one invited by the villagers to exorcise demons?"

"No, no." Kagome waved her hands hastily, "Grandma, you misunderstood, we are here to help you."

"Huh? Help me?" Grandma sneered in disbelief, "Don't joke, you brought the shrine maiden here, what ridiculous things are you talking about."

Ah, forget about the shrine maiden and the demonThey are natural enemies, even if they are half-demons... it's the same.

Kagome realized that something was wrong and patted her chest to refute, "No, Kikyo is a very kind witch. She won't kill monsters without knowing right from wrong."

"Besides, I know that Di Nian'er is an honest and good monster. Everyone must have misunderstandings about him. We will definitely make the villagers eliminate their suspicion of him."

The mother-in-law's eyes were full of disbelief. Kagome wanted to say something, but Kikyo stopped her at her lips.

He looked at Kikyo in confusion.

"Here we are." She said, staring at the dark path behind.

"So fast?!" Kagome exclaimed, thinking that the villagers would be at least ten minutes slower at their speed. They just arrived and didn't say a word.

Unexpectedly, Kikyo's eyes were solemn, "No, it's not just the villagers."

She clenched the bow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and aimed at the intersection.

Kagome was even more confused, "Why use--" bow.

The ground made a rumbling sound, and a pile of earth rose from the ground, surging from all sides.

"Help!"

"Someone save me!"

"There is a monster! Run!"

As the ground bulged, panicked and desperate cries for help came from the small intersection, and then more than a dozen figures ran from the intersection.

Behind them, dense centipede-like monsters chased them relentlessly.

It was the man-eating monster. Didn't Inuyasha go to find it? When did it hide under the village without anyone noticing?

The thought flashed through her mind, and she didn't have time to think about it. Kagome shouted loudly and waved her hands to signal the villagers to come over here.

"Here, come this way."

But the group of villagers were panting and about to run, and some fell to the ground. Seeing this, Kagome took two steps forward.

Kikyo saw him move and immediately stepped back to block him, "Don't move!"

The next second, an arrow flew out with her voice.

It landed on the bumpy ground, and the spiritual power bombarded the hill.

"Boom--"

"Roar--" A huge monster came out from the ground, with a human face, countless tentacles wriggling in its mouth, and a body like a worm.

Rocks flew, the ground shook, and the villagers fell to the ground, staring at the terrible monster in front of them in amazement, with despair in their eyes.

It's over, I'm going to die.

"This is, this is..." The mother-in-law looked at the monster in front of her in horror. When she found that the centipede-like monster was greedily lying on the dead villagers and eating their internal organs, she seemed to have caught something, eager and excited.

"It's a monster that eats human organs. Look, it's it that killed people, not Di Nian'er!"

Kagome was sweating coldly and pulled her mother-in-law's arm, "Yes, it's not Di Nian'er, mother-in-law, don't get excited and go over there, be careful not to be accidentally injured by the monster, go back to the house."

"Witch...human...food..." The monster stretched out a thin tongue from its mouth and stabbed Kikyo fiercely.

Kikyo's eyes flashed coldly, and she drew out another arrow and aimed it at the monster, but a shrill scream came from the side.

She glanced at a villager who was injured and collapsed on the ground. On his thigh, a centipede monster was winding and biting the villager's thigh to climb up. There were many little monsters around him who were staring at him.

With a tightening of her fingertips, Kikyo turned the arrow aimed at the monster and turned it around. With a flash of inspiration, the magic-breaking arrow nailed the centipede monster on the villager, purifying the surrounding little monsters into dust and scattering.

After dealing with one, Kikyo did not stop at all. Just as her fingertips hooked an arrow, the monster's long tongue was almost in front of her.

It was so fast that she had no time to put the arrow on it.

However, the next moment, her body was hugged by the people behind her, pressed on the ground and rolled around, avoiding the attack.

Before that, Kagome had just pushed Di Nian'er's mother into the house. When she turned around, she saw the scene of the monster attacking Kikyo, and her heart instantly hung in her throat.

"Kikyo!"

The body was faster than the brain. He used the fastest speed in his life to hug Kikyo's body, pressed under him, and rolled on the ground again.

The tongue brushed his head and went straight into the ground, and with a bang, it shook up a pile of dust.

"Puh, phuh, phuh." Kagome's head and face were covered with dust, and her mouth was full of small stones that jumped in.

Without caring whether the wolf was in a mess or not, he stood up, "Are you okay, Kikyo? Are you injured?"

Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, he was furious, and without waiting for Kikyo to reply, "What are you doing? The monster has attacked you, can't you kill this monster first and then deal with the other small monsters?"

"Can't you care more about yourself?!"

"Idiot!"
