Chapter 198 Half-Immortal Power

Aomori Prefecture, Hakkoda Snow Mountain is famous for the burial of hundreds of soldiers. Although it is only August, the mountain has already started to snow heavily, keeping all tourists away.

The wind and snow dyed the treetops all white. On the white path in the woods, a 12-year-old girl in a down jacket kept running. Every difficult step she took left deep footprints in the snow.

"what"

The girl's tired body exhaled white mist. She wanted to stop, but the sound of the beast stepping on the snow behind her forced her to move forward.

"Is Aino going to die on the mountain?"

Suddenly, a renovated shrine came into the girl's sight. She no longer cared about the dilapidated shrine and when it was renovated. She just wanted to go in and use the door to block the beasts behind her. No, maybe they were not beasts at all. These blood-sucking beasts that infected humans might be terrible monsters in the snowy mountains, because no beast could hunt brown bears, and no beast could resist human gunfire.

When the girl walked to the shrine, her eyes suddenly lit up because the door of the shrine's inner room was not closed.

The girl opened the door without hesitation and walked in. Then she locked the door and collapsed to the ground. Her delicate, plump face was red, obviously due to frostbite.

"saved."

The relieved girl finally had time to look around the interior of the shrine. She had been to this Snow Mountain Goddess Shrine a few years ago, and it was already in disrepair. Her parents said that it was the faith of the entire village a hundred years ago, but then it was abandoned for decades for some reason. How come it has been renovated now?

A girl named Aino came to the altar and clasped her hands together.

"Please ask the Snow Mountain Goddess for protection."

At this moment, accompanied by the roar of the beast, a loud crash was heard, which scared the girl.

He turned his head and was immediately shocked to see that the tightly closed door was severely deformed by the huge impact. Every roar of the beast outside the house caused the new iron and wooden door to make a banging sound.

Soon after a loud bang, the wooden door was completely destroyed, and a cold wind blew into the house, extinguishing the girl's hope.

The girl looked at the monster that squeezed in from the door with fear on her face. She saw that the monster was a white wild wolf standing upright, very much like the werewolf in the game. Its height of nearly 3 meters was already touching the ceiling.

The white werewolf looked at the girl with greed, and corrosive liquid flowed out of its big mouth. It dripped onto the floor and burned small holes. There were also corrosive wounds in its hair.

Human language came out of the werewolf's mouth.

"Human, cub, delicious."

The girl covered her mouth and widened her eyes, tears of fear falling from the corners of her eyes. She was going to die, really going to die this time. Is there anyone who can save her?

The werewolf got on all fours and pounced forward, tearing the ceiling apart with his huge body.

At this moment, a cold female voice sounded.

"How dare a beast destroy my new home."

"crack clap"

After a few seconds, the girl did not feel the pain of her body being torn apart, so she slowly opened her eyes and looked, only to see that the hideous werewolf corpse had been frozen into an ice sculpture, lifelike.

In front of the werewolf stood a woman in a kimono. Her long white hair was glowing in the wind and snow. This person was none other than Hatsufuji Yukino who had returned to her hometown.

In Aino's view, the woman in kimono seemed to be radiating divine light, and her beautiful face made her feel at ease.

"Um, are you the Snow Mountain Goddess?"

"Snow Mountain Goddess?"

The name brought back memories for Hatsufuyuki. More than 100 years ago, she saved a human man from the village of Yamashita. The man built this shrine to thank her for saving his life and worshipped her as a goddess.

Throughout his life, he went into the mountains many times to look for her, regardless of life and death. At that time, he did not understand human emotions and thought that human men were just stupid because their brains were frozen. Now he thinks that maybe he has fallen in love with her.

The man froze to death in the mountains one time while she was visiting her sister. Later, out of a sense of guilt, she helped the villagers trapped in the mountains from time to time in the following decades. Once, twice, and dozens of times later, she naturally became the mountain god worshipped by the whole village, but of course her essence was still a monster.

Hatsufuyu Yukino touched the girl's head and denied it.

"No, I'm not the Snow Mountain Goddess, I'm just an ordinary Snow Girl. Are you from the valley village at the foot of the mountain?"

"Yuki-onna?"

The girl suddenly realized that the mountain god in the village was actually a snow woman. This made sense. But now, she didn't care whether the other party was a snow woman or not. After all, she was her only lifeline.

"Goddess, I beg you to save Valley Village, the village that once worshipped you."

Hatsufuyu Yukino did not agree immediately. After living in human society for many years, she had become human in some aspects.

"what happened?"

"Is such that."

As the girl continued to talk, Hatsufuyu Yukino also understood what had happened, perhaps it was related to the earthquake a few days ago.

Although Gudi Village is a small village with only a hundred people, it has hot springs to attract tourists, and the whole village has escaped poverty and become well-off. However, the abnormal weather this year broke all this. First, a few days ago, a sudden heavy snowstorm not only forced most guests to check out, but also blocked the only road into the mountain, and even crushed the signal. Not to mention cars, even helicopters can't get in in such weather, so the whole village can be said to be isolated from the world.

Such a snowstorm is rare in decades even in the coldest winter, let alone in the summer when the snow should be melting. The village has not prepared any supplies for the winter.

It was at this time that, reminded by a foreign shrine maiden, the villagers remembered the shrine that had been abandoned for decades. Some even felt that they were being punished because they had abandoned the mountain god.

Of course, this is just speculation. No one wants to go up the mountain to worship in a snowstorm. They plan to wait until the snow gets smaller or stops before going up the mountain.

Unfortunately, if it was just the cold, the Valley Village could still hold on. The new change was monsters they had never seen before, a group of werewolf-like beasts, ranging from two to four meters in height.

If bitten by a wild beast, they will become its same species, so they are said to be almost the same as werewolves and are equally terribly contagious.

During the three days of being besieged by monsters, the reason why Valley Village was able to survive was because several hunters hid a lot of weapons, and there was also a hunting company not far away that specialized in providing hunting services to the rich.

In addition to wild boars, there are also large numbers of reindeer and brown bears in the snow-capped mountains. The snow-capped mountains within a radius of hundreds of kilometers have become a perfect habitat for these wild animals.

When the villagers and the company united to barely resist, something unexpected happened today. The werewolves seemed to have mastered tactics. Many villagers' homes were broken into and the girl's parents were also killed by them.

Driven by hatred, she acted on her own and listened to the words of the foreign witch who stayed in the village. She went to find the Snow Mountain Goddess regardless of the consequences and asked her to save the village and kill all the werewolves.

"."

Hatsufuyukino was surprised after hearing this. She hadn't been around for decades and had only returned a few days ago. Given the human lifespan of several decades, she shouldn't have remembered to know when she was in trouble.

Did anyone know that she was back? Out of curiosity and reluctance, Hatsufuyu Yukino finally nodded and agreed. She also didn't want the Valley Village to cease to exist. After all, she was a nostalgic woman.

A moment later, two figures, one large and one small, left the shrine and headed down the mountain. Under the influence of the Snow Maiden's power, the snowstorm in the sky became much smaller, giving Aino a strong hope.

A moment later, the sound of branches being crushed was heard in the woods. First a shadow appeared in the snow, and then a giant wolf nearly 20 meters tall appeared.

The giant wolf was obviously huge, but it didn't make any sound when walking through the woods, and it was able to hide its figure with the help of the snow.

The beast looked down the mountain, as if it could see through layers of obstacles and see the figure of the white-haired woman.

There was a rare brief glimpse of sunlight over Longshan Mountain, which startled the neighbors who had not seen the sun for several days and they all rushed to Longshan Mountain.

On the top of Mount Ryu, after activating the power of the Sacred Tree, Yuzuru Nagayama walked into the Red Dust Hall. He looked up and saw that the Red Dust Painting had already completed one tenth of its progress, reaching the level where he could receive it.

Speaking of which, I really didn't expect Yuzuru Nagayama to improve so quickly. It clearly took him a month to accumulate 10% before, but I didn't expect that a blockbuster movie would fill up Red Dust Painting to 1%.

At this time, I took out my phone and opened my social account, and I could see that the number of followers had increased from 5 to 80, a full 16 times increase, which was really terrifying. There were also many comments under the account, and there were also replies from other accounts.

Usually, the interaction of his account is managed by the company. Unknowingly, he has works, sticky interactions, and the status of the shrine's chief priest.

He had become a second-tier actor without realizing it. How unpredictable things are. Would he make movies in the future? No, making movies is such a waste of time, unless there is a movie that is quick and sells well.

Yuzuru Nagayama temporarily put aside the mess in his mind and controlled the Red Dust Painting to form a magical power that poured into his body. Soon, a mysterious aura rose from his body, which was very similar to the aura of Sage Kitano Itachi.

"Ding, absorbing the immortal power of the mortal world, the spiritual power begins to transform."

"Ding, the spiritual power is sublimated into semi-immortal power, and the quality is increased by 2%."

[Host: Yuzuru Nagayama (Level 4)]

The semi-immortal power increased by 20%, and the amount alone has reached the passing line of the sixth level. And the various physical attributes have also increased greatly because of the transformation into a true dragon. The strength and physique are not much worse than those of ordinary seventh-level monsters, not to mention the blessing of the Golden Light Curse.
