Truth is everywhere within range

Near Dajiangshan.

A man in a kimono is sitting on a huge mushroom made of flesh and blood.

Huge mushrooms of various shapes grow on the ground here. Some mushrooms are being eaten by monsters, and some mushrooms emit deadly spores, killing all the monsters that dare to approach. On the corpses of those monsters, dots of bacterial plaque sprout. , getting ready to grow into new mushrooms.

All of this has nothing to do with that man.

He is dressed in green clothes, dotted with bamboo leaves. There are two segmented horns on the man's head, like new bamboo shoots.

In his hand is a long bamboo pole with silver threads on it, making it look like a fishing rod.

Man is fishing.

Under the mushrooms, on the bloody earth, countless monsters are cannibalizing and killing each other.

Although hundreds of monsters die every minute, at the same time, more monsters are born from the corpses of these monsters.

The strong become stronger and the weak perish. This is a world of the jungle and the strong.

There was an ugly monster hanging on the man's fishing hook.

The monster kept crying like a baby and struggling at the same time.

The monsters on the ground looked at the squirming bait and were eager to try it.

They kept jumping up, trying to bite the monster on the hook.

But the man kept lifting the fishing rod and teasing the group of monsters. He held his chin with his other hand and looked into the distance, as if he didn't care about fishing and was just passing the time.

This is one of the ghosts of Suzuka Mountain, the Demon King of Demons, Otakemaru.

Mount Suzuka, located at the junction of Ise Province and Omi Province, used to be a place rich in spiritual energy and had many shrines and temples.

But later, a ghost named Otakemaru occupied this place. He destroyed shrines and temples and turned this place into a paradise for monsters.

Many ghost clans, including Otakemaru, Otakemaru, and Omengwan, gathered here and wreaked havoc.

But later, Sakanoue Tamuramaro, the war general of Japan, was ordered to conquer Suzuka Mountain and fought several battles with ghosts and gods, with no winner or loser.

Just when the battle was getting tense, a woman with magical charm appeared. She was Suzuka Gozen. Suzuka Gozen was extremely beautiful and full of intoxicating temperament. Even Otakemaru fell in love with her and was attracted by Suzuka Gozen. He used a trick to deceive two of his three invincible swords, and was eventually defeated by Sakanoue Tamuramaro and imprisoned in the dungeon of Ise Shrine.

Of course, Suzuka Gozen also died because of love in the end, that is another story.

As for Otakemaru and other ghosts and gods, after the boss was defeated, they naturally dispersed, escaped into hell, and hid.

The last time Shuten Douji and Tamamo Mae's scheme, Otakemaru was originally invited to go to Ise Shrine to rescue his lord Otakemaru. However, Otakemaru failed to catch up with their plan at that time, so it was shelved.

But later, after learning the fate of those weirdos who attacked Tokyo and Ise Shrine, Otakemaru suddenly felt a little lucky.

His lateness actually saved his life.

Nowadays, Shuten Doji of Oeyama is gathering the power of weirdos, preparing to attack reality from a hidden exit.

Although Otakemaru didn't trust this guy very much, he still brought his troops over.

Nowadays, around Ojiangshan, there are almost all ghosts and gods like Otakemaru.

There are also some old gods who are ready to make a move, but in Otakemaru's view, those guys who have been abandoned by the times can only live as cannon fodder.

He fished boredly and thought about some meaningless questions.

At this moment, Otakemaru felt something in his heart and raised his head.

In the air, some kind of shock wave of spiritual power was vibrating, causing the monsters in this area to become quiet.

"Um?"

Otakemaru frowned slightly.

While he was distracted, a monster with low IQ suddenly jumped up and swallowed the bait on Dazhuwan's fishhook.

"Took the bait."

Otakemaru lifted the fishing rod slightly.

Buzz——

At this moment, in the space above Otakemaru's head, a huge battleship suddenly appeared.

"???"

Countless question marks appeared on Ozhu Maru's head.

what is this?

How would it appear here?

What is it going to do?

All around, thousands of monsters were stunned for a moment.

But soon, they smelled a fragrance.

Human taste.

The smell of spiritual power.

Otakemaru was the first to react. He swung the fishing rod, and a huge fishhook hung from the invisible thread and hit the boat.

No matter what the situation is, fight first and then talk!

However, before the fishhook, which glowed with steel, hit the ship, it was blocked by some invisible barrier.

Otakemaru was not surprised. Anyone who could come to this hell must not be a weak person. Although he had never seen this kind of equipment of a spiritual exterminator, as long as he found a flaw, he would

He had just flown into the air when he saw the cannon muzzle on the battleship pointed towards him.

Some kind of power that destroys everything is brewing in the muzzle.

Buzz——

From the leftmost muzzle, a red, thick light shot out.

Otakemaru hurriedly dodged to one side, and saw that the light carried amazing energy and hit the group of monsters originally located behind Otakemaru.

Boom——

In an instant, the gathered monsters were evaporated.

Mushroom clouds rose from the ground, and shock waves followed one after another. The mushroom Otakemaru had previously stood on was blown down by the storm and fell to the ground, crushing countless monsters to death.

At the same time, on the battleship, the armor opened and more gun ports appeared.

Bang bang bang——

The beams and ammunition poured out from the muzzle without hesitation, as if they were going to plow the place completely. For a moment, the entire crimson sky became like day and noon.

"What the hell?"

Otakemaru couldn't help but speak in Ise dialect.

Whoosh whoosh——

From the battleship's missile silo, several missiles took off, and one of them flew towards Otakemaru at high speed.

Otakemaru hurriedly dodged, but the missile seemed to have identified its target and bit Otakemaru's tail. No matter how he tossed and turned, it did not deviate from the trajectory.

"so annoying!"

Otakemaru had to avoid the splash damage from stray bullets while playing hide-and-seek with the missiles.

He had been a ghost for so many years, and for the first time, he felt that the problem was a bit difficult.

One hundred thousand monsters, at this moment, were actually suppressed by a mere battleship.

Otakemaru couldn't help but be speechless, wanting to break through the defense circle of that battleship first.

But at this moment, Otakemaru saw one of the smaller-caliber cannons pointed at him.

Bang——

A cannonball flew out and blocked Otakemaru.

There were missiles behind him and artillery shells in front. For a while, he had almost no way out.

"In that case."

In Otakemaru's hand, the bamboo pole quickly became thicker, like a huge stone pillar, and the golden fishhook was thrown away, heading towards the missile behind, trying to intercept it.

Right now.

A large-caliber spirit-killing bullet hit Otakemaru in the head.

"?"

Otakemaru didn't even have time to think.

His entire upper body was cut off by the bullet, and the missiles and artillery fire that followed quickly swallowed up the remaining half of Otakemaru's body.

Following the trajectory of the bullet, we saw that on the flight deck, the miko Hashimoto Qingone of Shimogamo Shrine wearing Hellbound armor moved the scope away from Otakemaru.

"solved."

She loaded her gun silently and aimed at the next target.
