"No way, no one wants to go..."

"Can it work? These two look so weak."

"It's okay, if they are eaten by monsters, then we will be safe for a while."

"..."

Lin Ye listened carefully to the villagers' discussions for a while, and probably understood the whole story of the matter.

In short, a monster appeared in this river at some time, and it would eat a person every once in a while, and this river is the largest water source in the vicinity, and most of the water for washing and cooking depends on it. Since he had no choice but to take the monster and couldn't leave the river, he naturally panicked.

This town was originally much more prosperous than it is now, and the desolate scene that Linye sees now is naturally the result of many people being relocated because of monsters.

Normally, the villagers kept this matter secret, for fear of causing disaster to themselves, so they never mentioned it. Naturally, outsiders like Lin Ye had never heard of it.

It's not that the villagers have never thought of inviting someone to fight the monster, but neither the mage nor the eminent monk seems to be very effective. The monster will never show up to fight with people, and it will only come out at night when it needs to look for food. emerge.

This time, the elders of the town did not know where to find two homeless men who looked unreliable at first glance. So many people gathered on both sides of the river, most of them did not have confidence in the exorcist on the small boat, but watched the excitement Most of the thoughts.

Therefore, they all stayed far away from the river, for fear that the monster would not be full after eating two...

"The tramp? Are you sure you're going to feed the monster?"

That's not necessarily the case - Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the two figures, one tall and one short, on the boat.

The combination of one big and one small, plus the obvious prosthetic traces on the man's body... That's right, it's Dororo and Hyakkimaru!

"Dororo" is a ghost manga set in the era of war, and it has also been adapted into movies and animations.

The child who is rowing is "Dororo", but the real protagonist is the silent young ronin standing like a dead thing - "Hyakkimaru".

The plot background of this work is simply stated as follows:

There was an ambitious lord who traded with the ghosts and gods in order to seize the world, and sacrificed his unborn son to the ghosts and gods, thereby gaining the help of the ghosts and gods.

As soon as the baby was born, 48 organs from his body were taken away by 48 ghosts and gods, and he was also abandoned by his father.

It's just that this person should not die, so he was picked up and adopted by a doctor. He also used unexplainable black technology to create various prosthetics for him, including facial features, limbs, and internal organs, so that he can have the most basic mobility.

And this person is Hyakkimaru.

After growing up, ghosts and gods with a wicked heart came to him again. In order not to hurt his adoptive father, but also to get back his lost organs, he embarked on the road to find and kill ghosts and gods...

Many things happened in the process, and Dororo was the one he met on the road and became a companion.

Originally, Mio would also be the person he met during the journey, and in the original comic version, the two met earlier than Dororo, but it ended in tragedy.

But now it seems that the "history" of this world has been changed, and with Lin Ye's existence, Mio's fate is destined to take a different path.

Then he focused his eyes on the eyes. Unlike the crowd watching the excitement, Hayano had great confidence in Dororo and Hyakkimaru... Strictly speaking, he had great confidence in Hyakkimaru!

Because Hyakkimaru is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have attracted so many ghosts and gods to "share" his body, let alone survive tenaciously without skin, facial features, internal organs, bones...etc.

Not only does he have a prosthetic body that doesn't feel pain, but he also has a coldness like a god of death, as well as extraordinary physical fitness, all of which together allow him to fight against ghosts and gods.

The most important thing is that although the evil relationship with ghosts and gods can make those unclean things find him, it can also make him find and kill each other!

"Look, look! The monster is out!"

As circles of abnormal ripples appeared on the river surface, gradually expanding into a vortex centered on the boat, everyone watching the battle exclaimed.

On the small boat, Dororo obviously couldn't control the oars, and soon lost control of the small boat, spinning with the rushing water.

"Big, big brother!"

Dororo grasped Hyakkimaru's thigh: "Has the monster come out?"

Hyakkimaru was silent—in fact, he hadn't regained his throat yet, so he couldn't speak—just "stared" at the water surface silently.

Although he can't see things, he has a special vision that ordinary people don't have. He can see the color and fluctuation of the soul, and the souls of ghosts and gods are blood red in his "eyes", which is very eye-catching.

At this moment, a piece of dark red is slowly approaching under the river surface——

"Wow!"

Behind Hyakkimaru, a fish tail broke through the water unexpectedly and slapped him hard, not only knocking the ronin boy into the river, but even capsized the boat.

call--!

A huge shadow stirred the wind and waves under the river, and a high splash splashed over, dragging Hyakkimaru into the water.

"Big... gurgling..."

Dororo hurriedly grabbed the overturned boat and looked around anxiously.

"Brother! Where are you?!"

However, no one responded, and as time passed, the river gradually calmed down, while Dororo became more irritable and nervous.

Just when he couldn't help but want to go into the water to look for Hyakkimaru, the river suddenly exploded again, and a huge catfish more than ten meters long jumped out, with a figure hanging from the beard around its mouth, it was Hyakkimaru!

"Big brother!"

Hyakkimaru naturally couldn't hear Dororo's voice, and landed on the shore with the jumping catfish.

This catfish is really not an ordinary creature. Its abdomen was beating on both sides, and it actually gave birth to two thick fleshy fins like the soles of its feet. It just climbed onto the land and rushed towards the crowd. Onimura flung it down.

At this moment, the onlookers were in an uproar, screaming and running away, except for a few people who did not move at all.

At this time, Hyakkimaru had already seized the opportunity to win, the body of the prosthetic limb made a strange swing like a puppet, and in turn rode on the head of the monster, and the right hand came off naturally like a scabbard, revealing a snow-white and cold blade, Without hesitation, it pierced into the catfish's eyeball.

"Ow, ooh—!"

The catfish monster screamed in pain, but Hyakkimaru did not waver at all like a humanoid weapon, and continued to stab the whole arm in with force...

The monster continued to toss for several minutes, struggling and rolling over and over, but it couldn't consume the Hundred Ghost Pills, nor could it change its ending, and finally fell to the ground after running out of strength and blood.

At this time, Baigui's body was already covered with mucus and blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed, but he didn't realize it.

Including the voices of the people around him, he didn't care at all.

Pulling out the sword, he retrieved his "right hand", and then Hyakkimaru walked towards Dororo who was still holding the capsized boat in the river——

"!"

Suddenly, Hyakkimaru fell to the ground without any warning, his mouth opened in pain, and he coughed dryly for a few times before spitting out a large piece of "bone".

Then the flesh in his throat squirmed——

"Ah, ah..."

The young ronin let out a roar of unknown meaning—this was the first time he made his own voice in this world.

Today, what he took back from the Demon God was the "voice (throat)".

Chapter 52 Chapter 44: If you meet your eyes, you will fight!

Really strong...

Lin Ye looked at this scene and nodded.

Hyakkimaru has obviously never learned any superb swordsmanship. Although his adoptive father has taught him, it is only to lay the foundation. The simple, direct and extremely sharp swordsmanship, which is as precise as a scalpel, is partly due to persistent training. Part of it is talent.

Combined with the prosthetic body and the endurance, mobility, and willpower cultivated since childhood, this is simply a humanoid killing weapon!

I remember that in the hidden setting of the original work of "Dororo", Hyakkimaru was originally a hero who was destined to quell the troubled times. His own speciality attracted the ghosts who secretly coveted him, so his father was tempted to sacrifice himself. Son about it.

The reason why he can survive in the state of "only a piece of meat left" is also because of the blessing of gods and Buddhas, plus the feedback of the power of demon gods (such as Voldemort and Harry Potter).

He has lived in a world without five senses since he was a child, and has to rely on prosthetic limbs to complete every move, but even so he has developed a whole body of skills... It seems that he was originally a "hero chosen by heaven" is not a lie.

It's a pity that because of his father's mistake, it is impossible for the hero to save the world to come again.

As for the catfish monster he killed...

Its strength may not be worthy of the word "ghosts and gods", but considering that this is Japan, which is known as "800 million gods", it is not surprising.

Originally, the 48 demons who robbed Hyakkimaru's body were essentially 48 mountain spirit ghosts, of which there were naturally strong and weak ones, and this catfish monster was obviously the weaker one.

"Hyakkimaru and Dororo... Although they are the protagonists, it seems that there is no need to talk to them." Lin Ye scratched his head.

Among other things, it is impossible to communicate normally with Hyakkimaru...

Moreover, his goal at this stage is to settle down with Mio and brother, and we will talk about other things later.

Lin Ye nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but accidentally spotted a smear of red on the opposite river bank.

"Ok?"

He focused his eyes slightly, looked intently, and found that it was a team of about five or six people, all of them were wearing red clothes and bamboo hats, and their figures stood out from the crowd.

This should be an extremely eye-catching group of people, but everyone's eyes were attracted by the battle of Hyakkimaru before, so not many people noticed them at this time.

Lin Ye didn't know the identities of these people in red, but instinctively felt a little strange.He looked left and right, and found that on both sides of the man in red, there were also a few guys who looked like warriors standing faintly.

Judging from their expressions and positions, it seems that they are very wary of the man in red, even if they have a numerical advantage, they dare not be careless.

While Lin Ye was looking at these people, one of the men in red seemed to feel something, suddenly raised his head, and saw Lin Ye on the other side of the river.

"hiss!"

Obviously nothing happened, but Lin Ye inexplicably felt a chill rushing up his spine, and his skin tensed instantly.

"No, I met my eyes!"

-

"Good skill!"

On the river bank, a man in red said with emotion to his companions: "It seems that this island country is not all incompetent people. There will always be some strange people in the wild."

"Master Luo Lang, do you think it could be them?"

The companion stepped forward, pointing at Hyakkimaru and Dororo by the river.

"The eyewitness reports that the 'that' we're looking for has a very skilled swordsman by his side."

"Is it a combination of a child and a swordsman...and the age of the child is also suitable." The blond Luo Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is indeed very possible."

They are special envoys from the Yuan Dynasty, and their task is to bring an important person back to the Central Plains, and present it to His Majesty the Emperor as an elixir of life.

And that "Yaoyin" is a short child about ten years old—very close to Dororo's image.

Among these people, except for the old monk Bai Luan, no one had actually seen the target, but Bai Luan was still behind, they were the scout team who came ahead of the big troops to scout.

Now that I see the strange combination of Dororo and Hyakkimaru, I can't recognize it, but I just follow the principle of killing mistakes and never letting them go, so I will catch them first.

Luo Lang wasn't very interested in this, he just ordered his subordinates to "invite" the two targets over.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, a faint sense of disobedience hit his heart, prompting him to look up and look across the river.

In the end, the two of them - Luo Lang and Lin Ye - were taken aback.

Although he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, Luo Lang was sure that the other person was looking at him!

And for some reason, at the moment of discovering the other party, a wonderful sense of crisis surged up from the depths of Luo Lang's heart.

That feeling was like encountering a ferocious beast in the mountains alone.

"It's not good, I met my gaze...he has already noticed it."

Looking at the hurried figure on the other side of the river, Luo Lang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He doesn't know who Lin Ye is, just as Lin Ye doesn't know who he is, but this doesn't affect their judgment in the first place:

In such a rural place, the chance of a master who can threaten him suddenly appearing is so small that it is hard to believe that it is a pure coincidence!

Was it the companions of the warriors who caught up?

Was it one of the two masters who attacked the group of samurai?

——With their own doubts, they quickly launched their actions.

Lin Ye quickly returned to the store, and said "It's time to go", telling Mei Xu and the others to pack up quickly.

And Luo Lang left the river bank. Since his men were transferred to deal with Hyakkimaru, he had to bring a few samurai from the Daigo family as a team, and went across the river to the other bank to search for the man he had just seen.

But in the final analysis, there are women, children, and the wounded on Linye's side, and their mobility is worse than Luo Lang's. They just packed up and left the hotel in a hurry. It was already very efficient, but they were still about to leave the village. It was blocked by Luo Lang.

"That person is..."

Zitaro shrank his head subconsciously when he saw Luo Lang - Luo Lang didn't know him, but he knew very well what the red dress meant.

Wuming frowned, pulled him behind him, and looked at Luo Lang helplessly.

"Sorry, can we go there?"
