The Story of Demon Hunter

Ensuring the Truth

Telling the story, the elder started to get scared.

“That girl really doesn't seem like a bad witch. She looked so tiny, shorter than my granddaughter. She wears red clothes with white flowers. His skin was pale white like snow.

The girl's eyes were red. It was completely red like blood. The expression on his face was cold. Rather than a human or a ghost, he was more akin to a puppet.

Terrible cursed doll!”

The elder said with a frightened expression on his face. Seeing that, Arthur and Jotaro who can distinguish lies immediately understand that the old man had indeed met the damned girl.

If it had happened before they met Tsubaki, Arthur and Jotaro would not have believed in the little girl who could endure such looks for decades. But after meeting him, they knew it was real.

“Is that possible Tsubaki, Boss? I mean, it looks a bit like a doll, doesn't it? Hair and clothing colors can also be changed.

Perhaps, Arima caught Tsubaki there. So, in the end the evil spirits that were previously controlled by Tsubaki started to escape back.”

“An interesting theory, but clearly wrong.”

Arthur immediately said in a disapproving tone. Looking towards Jotaro, he immediately expressed his opinion.

“If the damned girl was really Tsubaki, Arima should have snuffed out the evil spirits that were there. That means, the water ghost that appeared in Jade Lake City was a fish that escaped from the net. Although there is such a possibility, I think it is still wrong.

After all, when we passed that Nameless Village, I felt that I was being stared at by many evil beings. That means, Arima didn't come there and didn't do the cleaning. Besides, Tsubaki was a cultivator. While the girl mentioned in the story is likely an evil spirit that controls many subordinates, right?”

“It ... makes sense,” said Jotaro while stroking his chin.

“True, right?”

Arthur shrugged with a lazy expression on his face. After which, he looked towards Jotaro then said.

“If want to know the truth, there is still one way.”

Arthur and Jotaro looked at each other before saying in unison.

“We have to come to that village to make sure of it ourselves!”

After that, Arthur stood up. He then took out ten pieces of silver coins and placed them on the front table of the elder.

“Thank you very much for the information, Elder. In this way, at least we have a little information about the enemy we will fight.”

“You ... are you really going to go?”

Hearing that the two young men wanted to go to that dangerous place after hearing the story, the elder became even more afraid.

“It's okay, Elder. When compared to the cultivators you met before, we are clearly stronger.”

Jotaro said in a confident tone.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Elder. Please convey our thanks to the village chief and the residents. Then, we go.”

After saluting, Arthur and Jotaro immediately left the village elder's house. Their goal was also clear, which was to return to the nameless village to check it out.

***

In the afternoon, when the sun is about to set.

“It seems we are still a little too slow, Joe.”

“You're right, Boss.”

At first, they intended to arrive at the village during the day so as to check on the situation. But they were a bit late because they stopped in the village too long. Looking at the sky, the two looked at each other.

“Good!”

After that, the two of them walked straight over the bridge. They were very careful because the bridge was already quite weathered as it had not been taken care of for nearly thirty years. At first they want to fly, but be alert if there is any type of barrier (protector) around the village.

Finished crossing the bridge, Arthur and Jotaro immediately set foot on the ground. Just as they set foot in the village for the first time, the two felt an uneasy feeling.

“Should we wear masks and take anti-poison pills? When night falls, a poisonous mist will appear, right?”

“Excellent idea, Boss!”

After taking anti-poison pills and wearing masks, the two of them started exploring the village area.

At first, they explored the countryside. Other than the empty and weathered wooden houses, there was absolutely nothing else. Strangely enough, not a single insect was present in the village.

The two of them then stopped in front of a large tree at the edge of the village. The tree looked extremely large and leaned towards the river, looking lush and somewhat monstrous. Somehow, the two immediately thought that it was a river ghost residence before fleeing.

“How about going to the middle of the village?” ask Ark.

“Absolutely no objection,” reply Jotaro.

After that, they both left the place.

While traveling on the main road of the village, Arthur and Jotaro feel a bit awkward. That place was obviously too quiet. Compared to the dark and gloomy forest, this place was even stranger. The place was not too dirty and open, but also too quiet.

Looking at the houses around, Arthur and Jotaro could only see the accumulated dust and wild grass growing haphazardly. Surprisingly, they did not even hear the sound of mosquitoes and did not see a spider. Seeing a house left without a spider web alone was obviously very strange.

As the atmosphere became more and more strange, the sky became dim. The sun is gone. The sky turned into a black curtain with no star or moon decorations. Then ...

A thin fog appeared out of nowhere. Slowly, it began to cover their visibility.

“Prepared to fight, Joe!”

“Without being told I'm ready, Boss!”

Jotaro immediately put up the horses, while Arthur immediately pulled his sword out.

Waiting for quite a while, the two of them became somewhat confused. The figure of an evil spirit or such a creature really did not appear. Moreover, the poison on the fog itself was not that powerful. It simply could not be used to kill bronze-level cultivators, let alone silver or gold.

“Is it really Tsubaki? Arima has really cleared this place? That means .... the night before was just my feeling?”

Arthur mumbled slowly. Realizing that there was no change, she somehow felt strange. But both are still quite happy because they do not have to face dangerous things.

By the time the two of them thought everything would be safe, their hair suddenly stood up. Arthur and Jotaro immediately jumped to the side. Just then, a huge figure fell to where they were standing before.

BRUK!

Looking at the source of the sound, Jotaro and Arthur immediately saw the scene that was so striking.

At the place where they stood before, appeared a figure with a height of nearly three meters. Her appearance was similar to that of a fat middle-aged woman in tattered clothes. Part of his body was rotten and emitting an unpleasant aroma. The slightly curly long black hair looked messy, covering his rotten face full of writhing caterpillars.

In the creature's hands, there appeared a large butcher knife filled with rust.

At that very instant, the two people instantly sensed the existence of the other creatures. Wiping the sweat on his forehead while forcing a smile, Arthur said.

“It seems we are too quick in concluding something, Joe.”
