Inside Xiangguo Temple.

Bartholomew Bear, who was dressed in a black suit, lowered his head and looked at the head of the 80-li branch family, Hanakain Keiji.

"The seal of Lujin Temple has been broken, it's our turn."

"Okay, please come with me and seal it in the Prajna Forest."

Hanakain Keiji glanced at the two ancestors next to him.

Thinking about the phone call from my family just now, I can only nod in agreement with a complicated mood.

He really didn't expect things to develop to this point.

But compared to being slaughtered by monsters, it is already a good result.

At least I can live to see my wife, children and mother again.

A moment passed.

Everyone walked through the tree-lined path.

Successfully arrived at the underground palace located deep in the Prajna Forest.

And here you see a small earth bag and wooden pile in the center surrounded by four candles.

Hanakain Keiji raised his right hand and pointed at it: "That's the seal. As long as you pull out the wooden stake, it will be broken."

"The resentment below will burst out, and the big monster that has been sealed for four hundred years will reappear in the world. You must treat it with caution."

He also kindly reminded Bartholomew Bear.

"Thanks."

The latter thanked him and walked over, pulling out the wooden stake.

【Bang.】

There was a dull sound as the wooden pile fell to the ground.

But everyone was only concerned about the ground that began to tremble and the resentment that surged out.

Keiji Hanakain has been prepared for it.

Immediately use talismans to set up a small barrier around the area to prevent resentment from approaching.

But Bartholomew Bear remained where he was, completely unaware of the black mist billowing around him.

If anyone observes carefully, they will find that the black mist cannot touch his body at all.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier on the surface blocking them.

at the same time.

A lot of resentment is gathering inside the soil bag.

Gradually it formed a behemoth that was visually estimated to be seven meters high, or even close to eight meters high, and finally broke out of the ground roughly.

【Buzz————】

A pair of scarlet light spots suddenly lit up in the dim light shrouded in black mist.

"Sure enough, it is clearly recorded in the history of his family. The 13th generation Hidemoto Hanakain personally admitted that he must never encounter the big monster, the earth spider!"

Hanakain Keiji murmured to himself with a pale face.

Earth spiders are actually a collective name for a race of monsters.

Most of them live in groups in the Takachiho area at the northern end of Miyazaki Prefecture on Kyushu Island.

There is one more thing to note.

The legend of monsters like the Earth Spider is about 1,500 years older than the monsters such as Shuten-dōji and Saiki-dōji that were born in the Heian period.

At that time, Japan did not even have writing, let alone historical records, and relied entirely on word of mouth.

It can be said that Earth Spider’s ‘qualifications’ are second only to Yamata no Orochi.

The figure that appeared in front of him was too powerful.

Four hundred years ago, there were humans and monsters near Kyoto and even the entire Kinki region.

They all use the word "earth spider" specifically to refer to him.

Other soil spiders are renamed 'mountain spiders' to distinguish them.

In that era when there were no spiral seals to suppress demonic power, earth spiders were probably on the same level as dragon bone spirits.

At that time, he also caused trouble with the Daxi Demon Kingdom.

However, Princess Lingyue was too lazy to answer, so Sesshomaru went to the Izu area to get married and have children.

After a long time of quarreling, I didn't meet any opponent. I thought there was no strong enemy in the world.

"Um?"

"Who are you?"

Earth Spider sat down on the ground and looked at the bear and asked.

But he didn't wait for the bear to answer.

I saw him take out a thick and long cigarette rod from his arms.

Then pull out the long-handled candle next to it and light the tobacco in the pipe.

Finally put it in your mouth and start puffing away.

The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, and you can tell he is an old smoker.

"Minister of Religion under the World Government, Bartholomew Bear, if you are willing to obey, we can communicate normally."

The bear is not a bellicose, and will attack the spider when it doesn't come up, so he is naturally willing to say a few words to it.

"World Government, what is that? By the way, are you strong?"

The Earth Spider blew out a puff of smoke and glanced at the bear and asked.

Although I didn't feel any demonic energy or spiritual power from the latter.

But his keen sixth sense made him vaguely aware of a strange dangerous aura.

"world"

But just as Xiong was about to explain, Earth Spider suddenly became angry.

The cigarette rod in his hand turned into an afterimage and exploded with a sonic boom, lashing him over at him!

This scene made the expressions of Hanakain Keiji and the other Onmyoji masters change drastically.

But it was too late to warn.

【boom!!!】

In an instant, a deafening explosion sounded, and the vented air waves filled the entire underground space.

The spiritual barrier placed around Hanakain Keiji exploded on the spot.

Everyone was blown around by the strong wind and was in a state of disarray.

You can wait until the movement gradually stops.

Bartholomew Bear, who was thought to have been seriously injured, stood unscathed.

But the earth spider that launched the attack disappeared without a trace.

But at the other end of the line of sight, an underground tunnel with a diameter of more than ten meters and a bottomless depth appeared!

"What exactly is this?" the horrified Hanakain Keiji murmured in a low voice.

He couldn't understand what just happened.

No, that's not right!

Why did the Bartholomew bear in front of me become so big?

Yes.

The bear's body has returned to its original height of nearly seven meters.

To the onmyoji at the scene, this looked more like some kind of monster.

Bartholomew Bear didn't care about this and ordered in a gentle tone:

"You should go back to your home first."

The next second.

With a crisp sound of 'boom'.

His entire body disappeared in an instant in front of the stunned crowd.

the other side.

It crashed through the rock formations alive from the underground of Xiangguo Temple, and reached the soil spider in the deep mountains of the north, more than ten kilometers away from Kyoto.
