272 The old tree x dead body
With such heavy thoughts in mind, Kainosuke walked silently towards the depths of the town.
Soon, he came to a familiar house again, which was Aunt Mitsui's home.
Aunt Mitsui's house was relatively large. He went around from the left and came to the back door. The wooden back door was scarred and had many holes. It must have been violently damaged by monsters from outside.
The door is half open, and he can go in directly without having to move his hands.
After entering the door, I first scanned the hall, but unlike Uncle Shimura's house, Aunt Mitsui's house was well preserved except for some chairs and tableware scattered on the floor.
After a brief walk around, Kainosuke arrived at the front door. From here, you will reach the center of the town.
Just when Kainosuke was about to reach out and open the front door, he felt something tug on his trouser leg. His heart skipped a beat and he turned around suddenly.
"Woo~"
A gray forest wolf was biting his trouser leg and pulling back, whimpering softly, as if refusing to let him move forward.
There seems to be some special danger outside.
"Huhu~~"
A gust of wind blew through the open window into the hall.
"puff!"
A strange stamping sound reached his ears, Kainosuke's expression condensed and he held his breath.
He pressed his body against the wall and poked half of his head out of the window to look out.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently.
In the center of the town is a small square, which is usually a place where children gather to play, and it also serves as the town's market.
In the center of the town, stands an old tree with a trunk so thick that it would take at least three or four adult men to hug it.
But what shocked him the most...
It was the densely packed corpses hanging on the thick tree trunk, fluttering in the wind.
Hundreds of corpses were hung on old branches to form the canopy.
Kainosuke looked at the large number of corpses on the old tree, trying hard to suppress his breathing and not daring to make any sound.
Those corpses were covered with a large amount of translucent mucus. Judging from their clothing, most of them were residents of the small town. Their corpses had not shriveled up and the flesh and blood had not yet slipped from the bones.
"puff…"
Suddenly, the weird stamping sound just now sounded again.
Kainosuke held half of the wooden stick in his hand, stuck his head out again, and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Whoa!"
As soon as half of his forehead was revealed, a black shadow suddenly appeared, his arm raised high, and turned into a translucent sword that crashed down.
"boom!"
The relatively solid wall was instantly smashed into a big hole, causing dust to fly.
The moment the black shadow appeared, Kainosuke reacted quickly and jumped to the left to avoid the blow.
But before he could get up, another sword suddenly hit him.
There was no time to escape, so he could only hold the wooden stick in his hand horizontally and block it in front of his chest.
"Bang!"
The translucent sword collided with the wooden stick, making a strange collision sound.
"Bang!"
The next moment, a heavy impact sound was heard. The sword in the black shadow's hand and the wooden stick in his hand both pressed down on his chest, and his back hit the ground hard, splashing a lot of dust.
"snort…"
Severe pain came through, and he couldn't help but groan in pain, feeling that all the bones in his body were falling apart.
Kainosuke raised his head and saw clearly that the person who attacked him was a person, and it was someone he was very familiar with, a middle-aged and elderly woman.
Wearing a kimono, he has a stooped figure, long hair shawl, and a vicissitudes of life on his face.
It was Aunt Mitsui who had told him yesterday to wear more clothes when the weather was cold.
"Aunt Mitsui..."
Kainosuke looked at Aunt Mitsui pressing on him, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
At this moment, Aunt Mitsui's long hair was messy and scattered, covering half of her face.
The exposed half of his face was bloodless, his expression was cold, and his pupils were dull. He looked like a dead person, just like those corpses hanging on trees.
The difference is that Aunt Mitsui does not have those disgusting translucent liquids on her body, and her entire right arm has turned into a translucent sword.
It's like a big sword growing out of your shoulder.
Moreover, it was extremely powerful. If Kainosuke's body hadn't undergone strange changes, he might have been killed on the ground with just one blow.
"Well..."
Feeling the gradually increasing strength in his chest, Kainosuke's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth and gathered strength.
"Giggle..."
As Kainosuke's power gradually increased, Aunt Mitsui's arm, which turned into a translucent sword, trembled and was raised uncontrollably.
"hateful…"
Kainosuke felt a little angry. He had tried very hard, but he could only barely match the opponent's strength.
More importantly, his current posture is not conducive to exerting force.
"Ouch~!"
Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded from the side, and a gray shadow suddenly rushed towards Aunt Mitsui, opened its mouth and bit into Aunt Mitsui's neck, and the four ferocious canine teeth on the top and bottom pierced the flesh and blood.
But Aunt Mitsui remained unmoved. She just gently raised her other arm and grabbed the back of the forest wolf's neck.
"Tear~!"
In Kainosuke's shocked eyes, Aunt Mitsui grabbed the Timber Wolf's progress and pulled hard, and a large piece of flesh and blood on the neck was torn off along with the Timber Wolf.
The Timber Wolf immediately let out a "whoop" and was thrown away by Mitsui, and hit the wall with a "bang".
"Bang!"
But the moment she tore off the forest wolf, Kainosuke suddenly used force to flick the sword from his chest, swung the wooden stick in his hand, and hit her head hard.
Aunt Mitsui received a huge blow to her head, and her head suddenly rotated 180°, facing directly behind.
But the neck, which had lost a large chunk of flesh and blood due to the violent pull just now, could no longer support the weight of the head, so it turned back again, staring straight at Kainosuke with stiff and cold eyes.
Jie Zhisuke was so frightened that his heart contracted suddenly and he almost cried out.
"puff."
There was a soft sound, and Aunt Mitsui's body fell onto Kainosuke.
A strange sour smell emanated from the corpse, like the pungent sour smell of 10,000 dead mice, 10,000 dead fish, and 10,000 rotten eggs mixed together. The stench was unbearable.
Kainosuke's expression changed drastically, he grabbed the body with both hands and kicked it fiercely in the abdomen.
"Crack!"
But this kick felt like it was kicked in the water, with no feedback.
Kainosuke endured the stench and took a closer look. He saw that Aunt Mitsui's body was melting little by little. No, it was turning into a ball of liquid.
Kainosuke held down the corpse with both hands and squeezed it gently. The corpse's shoulders immediately turned into a ball of liquid and slid down his arms.
"This is for those monsters..."
Realizing what it was, Kainosuke was so frightened that he immediately crawled out from under the body, collapsed on the ground, and watched blankly as Aunt Mitsui's body slowly turned into a ball of liquid and scattered on the ground.
"Aunt Mitsui, she is also a monster..."
Kainosuke looked at the pool of liquid on the ground with an ugly expression. Then he seemed to remember something and turned to look to the right.
"Ah Hui!"
Kainosuke stood up and came to the forest wolf Ah Hui, knelt in front of it, and called its name.
At this time, the forest wolf Ah Hui was already dying, and the flesh and blood in his mouth had already turned into liquid and flowed to the ground. Lying on the ground, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and took one last look at Kai Nosuke.
