Chapter 11 The Wolf God Appears, Shan

Liu Yufei didn't care about the empty promises he made, but still smiled and said:

“I’ve also heard that there’s a Kirin beast in the forest whose head can grant immortality! When the time comes, hunt down the mountain god, cut off his head, and Ashitaka, you can break your curse.”

Ashitaka remained silent, his eyes still calm. Clearly, he disagreed with Liu Yufei's words. The monk with the bulging eyes narrowed, unsure where Liu Yufei had gotten his information, but quickly recovered and smiled, saying:

"I've heard about it too! It seems His Majesty the Heavenly Locust is also plotting this..."

"Hahaha, that's easy, just cut off your so-called Heavenly Locust's head too, isn't that enough?"

"Heh, young man, that's incredibly disrespectful!"

The monk with the bumpy hair wasn't angry; he just thought Liu Yufei was a simpleton and didn't intend to argue with him. Liu Yufei, on the other hand, smiled and said:

"With the world reduced to this state, shouldn't he die?"

The monk with the lumps just chuckled twice; clearly, Liu Yufei's two sentences had killed the conversation.

Don't let the unassuming appearance of Monk Geda fool you; he is a man of great wisdom. He moves in and out of the world, blending in with the crowd, a true hermit in plain sight. He can be a messenger to the imperial court or a street ruffian. He's the kind of person who meticulously calculates even the smallest things, like a bowl of porridge. Perhaps this is what a sophisticated egoist is like?

The monk with the lumps naturally had his own helplessness. If he chose to struggle in the chaotic world just to survive, then Liu Yufei completely treated this world as a game, seeking some fun in this filthy land.

Clearly, Ashitaka did not agree with either of these ways of thinking. So, after the wilderness fell silent, in the thin morning mist, Ashitaka did not say goodbye, but simply bowed to the monk Geda to express his gratitude.

"Young man, aren't you going to follow?"

"Hehe, forget it. Since we already have a goal, we'll meet at the finish line eventually. Why worry about when we start? Hehe! Shouldn't you be the one to leave, Master? If I take you down now, won't I have one less competitor?"

"Ah! Hehehe, you're really joking!!"

The monk, who had been lying down, immediately sat up. He was genuinely afraid that Liu Yufei would attack him. Although he had a hidden weapon on his paper umbrella, he knew that such a trick would be useless against Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei certainly wouldn't do that, since he was the one who would push things forward, and killing him would undoubtedly take away some of the fun.

Immediately, Ye Wufeng mounted his horse and disappeared into the morning mist at lightning speed.

Many days passed, and Liu Yufei continued his killing spree southward. Sure enough, once the initial novelty wore off, Liu Yufei lost interest in killing.

Finally, after absorbing the life force of the divine tree to its fullest extent, Liu Yufei's Pig-Pig Fruit also unlocked another state, namely the Evil God form. Obviously, just as Liu Yufei had imagined, he had already begun to control the power of these evil gods.

Unfortunately, this evil god state was so disgusting that it reminded him of the feeling of being covered in worms before.

In the far southernmost frontier, there lies a utopian paradise where people, amidst the chaos of the world, have created their own sanctuary. Winding mountain paths lead to the fortresses atop the mountains.

Liu Yufei looked up, but only saw plumes of black smoke. Dalaran—no, Deidara—no, Dalaran—had finally arrived.

For several days in a row, it rained continuously, and Liu Yufei had been sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain. It was time to find a place to rest. Seeing this, Liu Yufei quickened his pace. All around him were dark, broken trees.

Clearly, this was not caused by logging, but rather by burning. It is very likely that this was the site of the decisive battle between the gods Nago and the inhabitants of Tadala.

After the gods were defeated and fled, they transformed into demons, leaving behind only a scene of devastation.

At this point, Liu Yufei was a little confused. "He's already turned into an evil god, why doesn't he just charge into Dadala? Why does he have to go and harm others?"

Soon Liu Yufei saw the oxcart caravan ahead, and the group struggled to climb up the mountain.

"Everyone, hurry up and don't let your guard down!"

The speaker was a tall woman. Her height wasn't particularly outstanding, but standing among the crowd, you couldn't help but feel that she was tall. It was none other than Dadara's master, Princess Huan! Despite wearing a red hat, she was respectfully addressed as Lady Black Hat.

The residents of Dadala are not allowed to ride horses, so their main means of transportation is cattle. At this moment, a dozen or so cattle are carrying square hay bales, which should contain their grain.

The main industry of the Dadala was iron mining and logging. The women were responsible for smelting iron, while the men were responsible for transporting the smelted iron ore out to exchange for their food. Clearly, the Dadala's industry was relatively singular, and it caused considerable damage to the surrounding environment.

Liu Yufei stopped and carefully smelled the air in the rain.

"Ah! That familiar taste, I've really missed it these past few days!!"

Liu Yufei smelled that industrial scent again, as if he had returned to reality.

The musketeers didn't have to do any work; their only responsibility was security in Dadala. At that moment, the men looked around as if some danger was approaching. Sure enough, one of the musketeers shouted:

"The Wolf God! The Wolf God has appeared!!"

Everyone instantly became alert, and Huan Ji looked in the direction he was pointing, immediately shouting to stop him:

"Don't move, it's a person!!"

It seemed the musketeers were too tense, for they only then realized that the approaching figure was just a young boy on horseback.

At Huanji's command, the people ahead hurried on their way, while two members of the musketeer team stood beside Huanji, and Gangshan, the most powerful fighter, gripped his long sword, fully alert.

"Hey, stop in your tracks!!"

As he spoke, the musketeers behind him all pointed their muskets at Liu Yufei. After all, that's how it is in chaotic times; if Liu Yufei made any bad moves, they would not hesitate to open fire.

Liu Yufei heard Huanji's warning and immediately dismounted, indicating that he meant no harm. When they were about twenty meters apart, Liu Yufei stopped, because if he went any further, they would actually open fire.

"I am a traveler on the road and would like to ask for lodging in your esteemed place!"

Clearly, given Liu Yufei's attire, the group didn't believe he was a guest. Huan Ji immediately shouted:

"Outsiders are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!"

Just as Liu Yufei was thinking about how to answer, a commotion broke out ahead.

"The Wolf God is here..."

Sure enough, two white dots were moving rapidly in the darkness, their movements incredibly agile. At this moment, Huan Ji could no longer care about Liu Yufei and immediately shouted:

"Ready to fight!"

Liu Yufei looked in that direction and, sure enough, two giant wolves were charging towards them. On the back of the lead wolf, a girl in a white coat clung like an animal, clutching the wolf's mane. Wearing a red mask, she was none other than the protagonist of the world, Princess Mononoke—San.
