The name is actually a political concept.
Its original name was Iyo no Nimeijima - but obviously, it is not as easy to remember as Shikoku Island.
This is an island with a very exotic atmosphere.
Because it is isolated by the sea, the customs and habits on the island are very different from those on the main island.
These differences are reflected in many aspects: climate, specialties, eating habits and so on.
But for Nanxing, the most notable feature of this island is actually only one:
Civet cat.
"So many raccoons!"
Fujiwara no Mokou exclaimed.
She had never seen so many civet cats parading around the city.
In comparison, humans seem to be the rare animals worthy of protection, but we didn’t see many of them along the way.
However, Ibuki Suika's face showed an expression of familiarity:
"Because Shikoku Island itself is the land of tanuki."
This is true.
In fact, every kind of monster has its own base camp.
For example, ghosts, their base camp is hell.
The base camp of the raccoon monster is Shikoku Island.
"It is said that there are 880 raccoons on this island."
Eight hundred and eighty different raccoon cat tribes occupy the entire Shikoku Island, turning it into a real monster country.
The leader of these raccoon cat monsters, Hikaru Gyobu Tanuki, is even more famous. He has been a well-known monster throughout the world since the Heian period.
"He's quite capable."
"Since the death of the former Lord of the Western Kingdom, General Dog, he has led the raccoon cat clan to seek the position of Lord of the Western Kingdom."
"Uh... don't look at me like that. I also heard what my mother said."
Ibuki Suika commented indifferently, with the air of an experienced person giving advice on the state of affairs.
However, when she felt Nanxing's slightly surprised gaze, she immediately changed her words.
——Now, she is getting more and more into the role of the [Ghost Princess].
Or in other words, she herself is the princess of the ghost clan.
It was only because he was too powerful and the ghost clan was leaderless that he was forcibly pushed to the throne of the ghost clan king by other ghosts.
"If you calculate carefully, it seems that we are only... over three thousand years old this year?"
"It's a real baby!"
……
Nanxing landed on Shikoku Island, holding more than 3,000 loli monsters in one hand and an immortal girl over 800 years old in the other, and began to explore the island.
He first needed to confirm his location.
Then go look for that "bamboo forest that you can find if you are destined to do so".
But for him who was unfamiliar with the place, this was undoubtedly a completely impossible thing to do.
"I'll go look for it for you!"
The kind-hearted Fujiwara Mohong took the initiative to help Nanxing find the way.
Then, she jumped lightly. The invisible spiritual power once again condensed from behind her into the shape of wings, helping her fly.
——Thank God, she can now control her power and will no longer burn her clothes.
And after some rough search.
"found it!"
Fujiwara no Mokou in the sky suddenly said.
This instantly lifted Nanxing's spirits.
Is it that simple?
It seems to be going a little too smoothly.
"What did you find?"
In a hurry, Nanxing didn't have time to think so much and asked quickly.
Then, he knew.
Perhaps, at the very beginning, he shouldn't have had too many expectations of Fujiwara no Mokou.
"We found a group of monsters fighting each other."
"That's a group of tanuki cats and a group of... um, rabbits?"
"..."
My joy was in vain.
Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not bad."
He comforted himself so much.
"Although I didn't find the target directly, if it was a fight between two groups of monsters... maybe there's a chance to help one of them and become friends with them."
"Then, take the opportunity to ask about the situation on the other side."
Nanxing has a good idea.
Helping the weaker party with the attitude of a strong person, and thus gaining the friendship of the weaker party, is also a common routine in all orthodox novels and animations.
However, when he followed Fujiwara no Moko's instructions and really arrived at that "battlefield".
Only then did he realize that the progress of this war was not what he had expected.
……
This is a war between monsters.
As for the two sides of the war, as Fujiwara no Mokou said, they were the monster raccoon cat and the monster rabbit.
However, the battle between the two races did not end with the stronger side winning as most people thought.
"Please, Lord Tanuki, please let us go."
This is the initial scene.
A little rabbit monster with small arms and legs, a pair of big ears on its head, and a pink round tail on its butt, pleaded with a ferocious raccoon cat monster with a pitiful expression.
Behind her, there were a dozen rabbit monsters that had not yet transformed, trembling in fear as they were surrounded by nearly a hundred raccoon cat monsters.
"Okay, how dare you bully such a cute little rabbit!"
Fujiwara no Mokou was the first one who couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Facts have proved that this is indeed a world where appearance matters.
As long as you look cute enough, it’s okay even if you are a monster.
But just when Fujiwara Mohong rolled up her sleeves and prepared to take action, Nanxing stretched out her arm to stop her action.
"hold on."
He said somewhat solemnly.
With his ninja instinct, he could tell at a glance that this rabbit was no ordinary one.
As for what exactly makes her so special...
Ok.
After opening the Sharingan, Nanxing finally saw it.
Hidden in the newly turned soil, wisps of white smoke continued to rise.
The smoke was very light.
If you don't pay close attention, you won't be able to find it at all.
Of course, even if you notice it carefully, you won’t care too much.
——Fog is very common at the seaside.
But what if this white smoke... is poisonous smoke!
"Puff-"
"Puff-"
"Puff-"
"..."
The falling of bodies represents the great failure of the raccoon cat clan's operation to "capture the rabbit monster."
It also announces the true beginning of the rabbit clan's "Jedi counterattack".
"Hmph, play with me!"
I saw that after the leading raccoon cat monster fell down.
The pitiful little rabbit monster just now stopped pretending.
She stretched out a finger, pinched her nose, picked out two small clumps of slightly moist grass from her nose, and threw them unceremoniously onto the body of the raccoon monster.
Then, he raised his arm and shouted, a bloodthirsty light gleaming in his bright red eyes:
"Little ones, follow me."
"Strip these ignorant civet cats!"
Chapter 45: Why hurt Tutu?
This is a scene that subverts common sense.
After all, in people's basic cognition, rabbit monsters are very weak monsters.
Even if it becomes a monster, there is nothing to be afraid of. It has no ability to harm people and can only be at the bottom of the monster food chain.
——This is the inherent impression that most people have of the "rabbit monster" race.
But the rabbit monster just now broke this impression.
Maybe she is indeed a little weak.
After all, she looked so fragile, even inferior to the three-head-tall Ibuki Suika.
The way she compromised made her look like a fragile porcelain doll, so pitiful and lovable.
But at the same time, you have to admit that she is powerful:
"Under the siege of nearly a hundred raccoon cat monsters, she didn't even move her hands!"
"We easily won the war with only the poisonous smoke that we had set up in advance and two clumps of grass that acted as filters."
This was undoubtedly an unexpected scene.
The weak defeating the strong will make the onlookers feel excited no matter where it is.
At the same time, led by the transformed rabbit monster, this group of red-eyed rabbits made Nanxing and others open their eyes.
"Kill!"
"Kill them all, loot them all, burn them all!"
They were like real robbers.
He did not show any mercy at all when dealing with the raccoon cat monsters that were knocked unconscious by the poisonous smoke.
Clothes, weapons, accessories...anything of value was not spared by them.
