"You are truly remarkable, Miroku, but it's a pity…"
Yang Tao revealed a brilliant smile and tossed the dice in his hand.
"It's a pity that I am the chosen one!"
Six points, an absolute kill!
He picked up the chess piece from the table and placed it directly on the finish line.
Yang Tao hadn't cheated this time; it was purely good luck. He took a sip of the steaming lucky soy milk from his backpack and smiled at Miroku, whose expression was not good.
Miroku always wore a blue-black kasaya, with prayer beads on his right hand to seal the Wind Tunnel, and his golden tin staff leaned against the table.
He claimed to be a righteous monk, but in reality, he was very lecherous, always asking beautiful girls if they would be willing to bear his children.
However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Bang.
Miroku slammed the table heavily and angrily said, "You cheated, didn't you?!"
Yang Tao chuckled as he looked at the standing Miroku and said cheerfully, "Miroku, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately. Cheating requires evidence."
Miroku, looking indignant, pointed at the Ludo board on the table and said, "Then you explain, why are you always getting six points?!"
"Pure luck! Besides, it doesn't count as cheating if you don't get caught."
"Miroku, even you can't go back on your word out of anger. I bet four four souls on me against two four souls on you. This was an unfair gamble to begin with."
"The moment you were tempted, you already lost. As the saying goes, not gambling is winning, and that's the truth…"
Miroku, who was originally angry and unwilling, sighed and sat back down at the table, saying, "You are right, I was greedy."
He reached out and took two Shikon Jewel shards from inside his kasaya, placing them on the table.
Yang Tao also didn't stand on ceremony, reaching out and putting the Shikon Jewel shards into his backpack. Now he had two more shards.
"Miroku, you always have a chance to turn the tables. As long as you have Shikon Jewel shards, you can come to me anytime."
Miroku clasped his hands together, recited a Buddhist phrase, and then said, "Not gambling is winning."
He learned quite fast.
Yang Tao looked at the Eight Gates raccoon dogs who were watching the show, just about to start sweet-talking them, when Shippo's cry for help came from afar.
"Help! Help!"
Shippo was seen scrambling out of the forest, taking small, desperate steps, with dozens of gray wolves hot on his heels.
These gray wolves looked as if they were cast from the same mold; besides their original two eyes, they also had an extra eye on their foreheads.
Miroku immediately stood up, picked up his tin staff, and was about to go rescue Shippo, but the next moment, several bolts of lightning struck from the sky.
Rumble… Rumble…
All the demon wolves chasing Shippo were struck down, turning into smoke and disappearing.
Shippo, tears streaming down his face, ran back into the courtyard. Mu-on'na immediately went forward, hugged him, and comforted him, "It's alright, little Shippo."
For a moment, Mu-on'na was overflowing with maternal love.
Shippo sobbed and said, "Sir, Kagome was pushed into the well by Inuyasha, and the well opening was blocked by Inuyasha with a big tree. I couldn't pull it out…"
"It's fine, Kagome just returned to her own world. What happened to you?"
"A very large wolf demon attacked. That wolf demon had a particularly big head, and when it opened its mouth, many, many wolves came out. It was really too scary."
As he spoke, Shippo still shivered a bit.
Although Shippo was a demon, he was only a seven-year-old child. It was normal for him to be scared when facing powerful demons, as demons truly do eat people.
Hearing Shippo's description, Yang Tao already knew who had attacked Inuyasha.
Wolf Elder.
In his early years, he followed Tōga and fought alongside Tōga in many campaigns. He achieved a great victory in the first battle against the Panther Tribe.
After Tōga's death, the Panther Tribe launched a second great war. Wolf Elder and the former generals who followed Tōga hoped to follow Sesshomaru to win again.
However, the battle was fierce, and the original generals suffered heavy casualties. Wolf Elder and the remaining demons fled in disarray, while Sesshomaru fought alone and barely managed to win again.
And Wolf Elder became a demon guarding the forest.
This attack on Inuyasha was also because he was controlled by Naraku using a Shikon Jewel shard.
Yang Tao smiled, stood up, and said to Shippo, "Come here, Shippo, take me to find that demon. We just happen to need a guy to guard the house."
Wolf Elder looks very cute.
Its huge head occupies more than a third of its entire body, and it has two big, watery eyes.
Its true form resembles a Shiba Inu.
Shippo immediately jumped out of Mu-on'na's arms and ran to Yang Tao's side, pointing into the depths of the forest and saying, "Sir, that wolf demon is by the well opening!"
"I'll go with you."
Miroku said with a very serious expression.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
"No…"
"Then that's fine."
Yang Tao picked up Shippo and walked in front of Miroku, reaching out and grabbing Miroku's kasaya.
The next moment, his figure shot up into the sky.
Five seconds later, Yang Tao had already arrived by the old well, where the battle was still ongoing.
Inuyasha, wielding Tessaiga, and Wolf Elder, embedded with a Shikon Jewel shard, were evenly matched, fighting back and forth.
He released Miroku from his hand.
[World Exploration Value: 29.422%]
Heh heh, such a high exploration value. Clearly, Wolf Elder isn't the only one here.
He put down Shippo in his arms.
"Shippo, you stay with Miroku. I'm going to see someone…"
He flew towards the red dot displayed on the mini-map, and soon he saw a figure hidden in a tree branch, 'peeping' at Inuyasha.
The other party was draped in a complete, natural white baboon pelt, including the head.
In the entire Inuyasha world, there was only one person dressed like this.
Inuyasha's arch-nemesis, Naraku.
"Naraku, didn't Kagura tell you not to run around?"
"Mr. Yang, I don't think there should be any conflict between us, right?"
Naraku leaped down from the tree branch and stood on the ground.
"If you give me the Shikon Jewel shard on you, I can let you leave. I mean what I say."
Yang Tao activated Eight Gates, starting directly from the sixth gate, and in his hand, he held a Battlesign with a beige handle.
This was a Battlesign crafted using an End Stone handle.
What Yang Tao needed was the End Stone's attribute: [Shadow Suppression].
The target hit would lose teleportation ability for 5 seconds.
Although Naraku's strength wasn't strong in the early stages, he was as slippery as Orochimaru, possessing an extremely unique way of escaping.
"I'm sorry, the Shikon Jewel is very important to me."
"Is that so?"
Yang Tao appeared beside Naraku and swung the Battlesign in his hand, striking Naraku directly.
Naraku's body flew backward, crashing heavily into a tree trunk, which snapped under the impact.
Naraku's expression, hidden beneath the baboon hood, had already become distorted.
'What kind of speed is this? Is this also human?'
He didn't feel any demon power on Yang Tao.
This was also the world's limitation; the world was black and white, either a demon or a human.
The wind is tight, let's go.
Naraku's body erupted with purple miasma. The miasma's toxicity was extremely strong; the surrounding lush trees instantly turned withered and yellow.
