Under everyone's nervous gaze, a wretched man wearing mountaineering clothes, short and fat, but carrying a backpack as big as his own, emerged from the forest.

Seeing that the person coming was a human, Hanakaiin Yuura and Bingli, who had just been secretly preparing for a fight, immediately felt relieved.

"Oh!! It's Mr. Kahara!"

Just as everyone was wondering why a dirty weird uncle appeared here, Qingjushi Qingji's eyes lit up and waved to the man.

The man was none other than the monster doctor who invited Qingji and his group to Meiyuan Garden - Kahara!

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to find the Umewakamaru Shrine so quickly. I was thinking of coming here earlier to wait for you."

Teacher Kahara scratched his head and said with a smile, but although he was a living person, his smile with all his teeth exposed looked like a puppet.

"No, no, it's an honor to meet Mr. Kahara! How can we let you wait for us!"

Kiyoshiki Kiyotsugu took two steps at a time and stepped forward to shake Mr. Kahara's hand excitedly.

"Arnold, why is there a shrine of Umewakamaru here?"

Just when the two were about to exchange a few polite words, Nura Rikuo's voice sounded out of place.

Hearing the voice, Mr. Kahara leaned forward, his eyes passed over Kiyoshiki Kiyotsugu in front of him, and fell on Nura Rikuo.

The moment he saw Nura Rikuo, a gleam of light flashed in Mr. Kahara's eyes, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Umewakamaru... He is the protagonist of the legend of the mountain monster."

"Follow me."

Kihara said, ignoring the doubts and confusion of the few people, and turned to lead the way.

Under the guidance of Huayuan, the group walked through the forest. After walking for an unknown period of time, the sky turned slightly yellow. They finally reached the end of the stone steps and came to a wide open space.

As soon as they arrived at the open space, the group's eyes were attracted by the strange decoration of the open space. The towering trees were tied with red ropes, which were obviously sealed.

In the open space, there were several huge beasts with sharp claws inserted in all directions.

Standing next to the beast's teeth, the head of the family, Kana, was terrified and said:

"What is this?!"

"That's the claw of a monster."

Teacher Huayuan said with a smile, without showing any fear or surprise.

"Claw, claw?!!"

After getting the answer, the group was shocked. This was a head taller than them! Now, you tell me this is just a monster's claw? !

"There are monsters living in this mountain. Don't be so surprised by a broken claw."

Paying attention to the mood of the crowd, Teacher Huayuan showed a disdainful look. As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Juji Qingji's extremely excited words came over:

"There are monsters in this mountain! Great!"

"What should I do if I really encounter a monster?"

Contrary to Kiyotsugu's expectations, the parent Kana murmured with worry on her face, saying that with such a big claw, they might not be enough to fill the monster's teeth.

"The protagonist of the monster legend of this mountain, Umewamaru... is that one."

Teacher Kahara took in everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and then raised his hand to the top of the forest in front of him.

Climbing up to a high place, what appeared in front of the group was a huge stone statue of a monster with a bull's head but the body of a mountain spider.

Teacher Huayuan pushed his glasses and broke the shock of the group:

"In fact, in the past, Plum Garden had another name - Twisted Eye Mountain! Because there were rumors that there were monsters that would eat passers-by, in order to reduce the impact, the scenic area was renamed Plum Garden."

Hearing the name of Twisted Eye Mountain, Nura Rikuo's eyes suddenly shrank, and Bingli beside him also came up and whispered in Nura Rikuo's ear:

"Young Master..."

"Yeah, I know."

Nura Rikuo nodded, his tone heavy.

The Plum Garden monster hidden in this mountain and widely circulated is the cadre of the Nura Group - Ushio!

"It's getting late, I'll take you to the hotel."

Hearing Nura Rikuo's whisper, Dr. Huayuan pulled out a weird smile, said, turned around and was about to lead the way.

What no one noticed was that under the setting sun, Dr. Kahara's body actually showed thin long lines, which went up and disappeared into the dense tree canopy.

In the tree canopy, a strange man with strange clothes and a cow skull on his head controlled the thin lines and looked at Nura Rikuo with a smile.

...

"Such a dangerous place! Let's go back?"

"Yes! With such big claws, that monster will eat people!"

"It looks so dangerous, Kiyotsugu, why don't we go down the mountain..."

On the way to the hotel, Maki Saori, Torii Natsumi and Shima Jiro all surrounded Kiyoshi Kiyotsugu and backed off.

Now they are sure that there is a monster in this mountain. After all, it has such a big claw! It can pierce people with just a touch!

"Hey, Hanakai-san, are there really monsters on this mountain?"

"I'm not sure, but this mountain is definitely not simple."

Parent Kana was talking to Parent Kana about the mountain with a worried look on her face. She was obviously scared.

And Nura Rikuo and Bingli had their own thoughts.

"The Ushiki-gumi is a powerful fighting group in the Nura-gumi. Besides, except for the leader, the members of the Ushiki-gumi will not return to Ukiyo-e Town for many years. If they fail to recognize the young master and cause accidental injury..."

Bingli thought to herself and glanced at Nura Rikuo without knowing what was going on.

Nura Rikuo also knew that he only wanted to be a human being, and he was not well received by monsters like Ushiki. If he stayed here, the monsters of the Ushiki-gumi might attack the people around him.

With the old rat groupWith the previous experience, Nura Rikuo can't, or dare not, stay here any longer.

"Kiyotsugu, Torii and the others are right. It's too dangerous here. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

Nura Rikuo persuaded Kiyotsugu, who was surrounded by Torii Natsumi and others.

"Yes! Go back!"

Hearing that someone was standing in the same direction as her, Maki Saori was not vague. After agreeing, she dragged Nura Rikuo down the mountain.

"Wait!"

"Even if we go down the mountain now, there is no bus back. The luxury hotel that Mr. Kahara has booked is over there."

"As long as we get to the hotel, there will be an open-air hot spring and luxurious kaiseki cuisine waiting for us!"

"Of course, the cost will be paid by my Kiyoshi family!"

After a set of combos, Maki Saori and Torii Natsumi, who were just clamoring to leave, hesitated.

They wanted to leave, but now it was getting dark and there were no cars going back. In such a remote place, it would be very dangerous for the two girls to leave the team, and... the open-air hot springs and kaiseki cuisine...

"No, it's better to go back anyway!"

Seeing everyone hesitating, Nura Rikuo hurriedly said, and as soon as he finished speaking, the strange tone of Mr. Kahara sounded:

"Hehe, no matter what, the cow ghost is just a legend, there is no need to be so scared, and the hotel has anti-monster measures, it is very safe, why not stay there for a few more days."

"No, this..."

Nura Rikuo wanted to say something, but was hugged by Kiyotsugu's shoulders:

"Don't say anything, Nura-san! Let's go to the hotel now. At worst, we can go back tomorrow!"

After that, Kiyoshiji Kiyotsugu pulled Nura Rikuo away regardless of Nura Rikuo's reaction.

The people behind looked at each other and finally chose to follow.

The monster doctor Kahara walked at the end, looking at the crowd sinisterly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
