After rebirth, they all want to monopolize me

Chapter 179 We must not let Orochi come out (4000 words)
Jiang Li and her group continued to walk deeper into the cave.

Just as Jiang Li expected.

As the three of them went further in, they encountered more and more snakes.

There are all kinds of snakes, some poisonous and some not.

They even found many mutated two-headed snakes, and even three-headed snakes, in their home.

The scroll in Chen Xueman's hand was constantly shimmering.

Gradually, they felt the spiritual energy inside the cave becoming increasingly concentrated.

At this point, they were basically certain that the Yamata no Orochi was inside this cave.

However, just as they were walking step by step into the cave...

Suddenly, Chen Xueman stopped in her tracks, frowned, and looked in the direction she had come from.

"Snowman, what's wrong?"

Hojo Sana followed Chen Xueman's gaze and asked somewhat nervously.

Every time she sees a snake, Hojo Sana instinctively wants to hug Jiang Li; it's almost become a habit.

However, after being frightened by Chen Xueman's murderous intent, Hojo Sana forcibly suppressed her fear.
Finally, Hojo Sana saw more and more snakes, and surprisingly, she even started to get used to it.

“A lot of people are coming.”

When Chen Xueman arrived, she had already arranged some Gu worms in some places near the cave entrance.

When someone enters, these Gu worms will inform Chen Xueman.

Hearing Chen Xueman's words, Jiang Li and Hojo Sana both became alert.

They had long been prepared for the people from the Sakura Sun Agency to follow them in.

That's perfectly normal.

Now that their tracks have been discovered.

That will surely be found very soon.

"Let's hurry up and find that Yamata no Orochi first."

If we can find and kill the Yamata no Orochi, or even strengthen the seal, that would be good.

The Sakura Bureau would then lose its reason for killing you.

In this way, the Sakura Day Office will be on our side.

Although the two demons also came over.

But we can manage as long as we team up with those guys from the Sakuragi Bureau.

It doesn't matter if there are rapists in the Sakura Sun Agency.

It's impossible that everyone in the Sakura Department is a traitor. Many people are being misled and may not even know what they're doing; they're just following their superiors' orders.

"Help us kill those demons; that's about all the Sakura Sun Agency is good for."

Jiang Li and Hojo Sana both nodded.

Chen Xueman was right about everything.

This is indeed the case.

Although the Cherry Blossom Bureau is unreliable, it is still somewhat useful.

However, it mainly depends on yourself.

Jiang Li and the other two quickened their pace and walked forward.

Before long, Jiang Li and the other two arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Jiang Li discovered something.

Whether it was the previous two missions or the current one.

It seems that the ancient relics were all in caves.

This is an open space, like a huge hole had been dug into the entire mountain.

Inside this cave, there are various statues of the Yamata no Orochi (or Yamata no Orochi) and statues of Amaterasu, the ancient goddess of the island nation.

In the middle of these statues, a huge array is painted.

The scroll in Chen Xueman's hand throbbed incessantly, and finally flew out of her hand.

The scroll was fully unfurled, facing the sky above this magic circle.

This magic circle exudes a terrifying aura and radiates a dazzling red light.

Even without Chen Xueman's explanation, Jiang Li and Hojo Sana knew that this place was the formation that imprisoned the Yamata no Orochi.

"We need to hurry, they'll be coming for us soon."

Chen Xueman spoke, then walked towards the location of the magic circle.

Hojo Sana and Jiang Li naturally followed suit.

Chen Xueman's hands moved like butterflies as she chanted incantations.

The painting in the floating scroll twisted and turned again, then shattered into drops of ink.

Some of the ink was scattered and splashed downwards.

However, none of the ink fell to the ground.

As if summoned by some force, they kept flying towards the painting.

These inks condensed on the scroll, forming a magic circle pattern exactly like the one on the ground.

Then, some of the remaining ink gathered to the side again, eventually coalescing into the shape of a Yamata no Orochi (a giant serpent).

Then the eight-headed serpent flew down to the ground.

The scroll turned into a blank page.

Immediately afterwards, the magic circle reappeared in the scroll.

The intermittently appearing and disappearing magic array is like the stars in the sky.

As if a magic circle had been activated, the hissing of snakes echoed through the cave.

All three of them felt a chill run down their spines.

The hissing of a snake can evoke the deepest fear in a person's heart!
But in the end, Chen Xueman cut her finger, and a few drops of blood dripped out.

Then Chen Xueman called over Hojo Sana and handed her the knife as well.

Hojo Sana cut her finger again, letting a few drops of blood drip into the magic circle.

After the magic circle absorbed all of Hojo Sana's blood, the entire cave trembled violently.

It looked as if the entire cave was about to collapse.

"Sana, you can sit in the middle."

Chen Xueman spoke softly to Hojo Sana.

If someone else were facing such a dangerous magic array...

No matter what, Hojo Sana would never believe the other party, much less listen to their words, and would sit in the middle of this magic circle.

But Chen Xueman is different.

For Hojo Sana, Chen Xueman was more than just a friend.

The two people may be closer than sisters.

Although Hojo Sana doesn't have many close friends, once she does, she trusts them unconditionally.

This also shows trust in one's own judgment.

Hojo Sana trusted Chen Xueman without limit and didn't think that Xueman would harm her.

So even though Hojo Sana was filled with fear, she still sat inside the magic circle.

That is, the instant Hojo Sana sat in the magic circle, red ribbons appeared one after another in the entire magic circle.

These ribbons fluttered around Sana Hojo.

At this moment, Hojo Sana sat within the formation, looking like a goddess.

"Sana, how are you feeling right now?"

Chen Xueman walked up to Hojo Sana, squatted down, and looked worried.

Chen Xueman gently pursed her thin lips.

Even though she tried her best to remain calm, the tension in her eyes was still evident.

Although Chen Xueman was quite confident, the feeling was different when it actually happened.

Moreover, this was the first time Chen Xueman had acted like this. Naturally, she was quite flustered.

She was genuinely worried that something might happen to her best friend.

Chen Xueman felt she would never forgive herself.

Hojo Sana carefully sensed her body, then shook her head:
"I didn't feel anything too intense, just that my consciousness seemed a little blurry, and then it felt like some sound entered my ears, and I also felt a little sleepy."

"It's okay, Sana. Trust me, we can handle everything this time."

Chen Xueman took a deep breath and held her best friend's hand tightly.

"Next, you will become increasingly sleepy, and eventually you will very likely hear the voice of the Yamata no Orochi."

He will do everything in his power to deceive you.

But you shouldn't listen to any of it.

What you need to do is very simple.

That means when you see the Yamata no Orochi, take out your bow and arrow, shoot an arrow at him, and kill him.

that's it.

remember.

When you see the Yamata no Orochi, you might think it's just a dream.

But these are all true.

This bow and arrow will also appear in your dreams.

I say it again.

Once you kill Yamata no Orochi, the matter will be over.

During this time, you don't need to worry about anything from the outside world.

We'll buy you enough time, and we absolutely won't let you get hurt in the slightest, understand?

Chen Xueman looked intently into Hojo Sana's eyes.

Every word she uttered was spoken with utmost seriousness and earnestness.

"I know."

Hojo Sana nodded.

"Alright, that's settled then. I'm going to officially activate the magic array now."

Chen Xueman released Hojo Sana's hand, and Hojo Sana closed her eyes again, tightly gripping the bow and arrow in her hand.

For this young girl, the bow and arrow in her hand was the only thing she could rely on.

After exiting the magic circle, Chen Xueman made a hand seal and recited an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.

And as the incantation fell to the ground one by one.

The magic circle where Hojo Sana was located gradually began to rotate, and then the area it spread out of became larger and larger.

Phantom images of snakes appeared and disappeared in the sky above Hojo Sana.

at the same time.

Hojo Sana felt her consciousness becoming increasingly hazy and her head growing heavier.

As Chen Xueman finished chanting the last part of her incantation, Hojo Sana gently touched her chest with her head and fell asleep.

Looking at everything that was happening in front of him, to be honest, if Chen Xueman were from Japan, or if she had the lineage of a large Japanese clan, then Jiang Li could understand.

However, Chen Xueman is indeed a person from the Xia Kingdom.

It's just that Chen Xueman's mother is from Japan.

Therefore, in Jiang Li's heart, he felt that if it weren't for the legacy left by Chen Xueman's mother...

So it's possible that Chen Xueman, like Jiang Yunxi, was reborn from the future.

Otherwise, how could Xueman know so much?

It was as if a barrier had spontaneously formed around Hojo Sana.

Within the barrier, phantoms of snakes coiled incessantly.

Chen Xueman took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her brow, and turned to look at Jiang Li:

"Brother Li, I've done all I can for now. If Shana can successfully kill the Yamata no Orochi from the start to the end of the magic circle, it will take about 40 minutes."

We need to hold on.

If there's no other way, what unexpected things might happen?

Brother Li, you're just leaving the two of us here.

I will make sure Brother Li leaves here safely.

Seeing the slight tension in Chen Xueman's eyes, Jiang Li smiled and gently tapped Chen Xueman's head.
"You don't need to say that."

Don't worry, I definitely won't abandon either of you.

And if you have anything that can make people leave, just use it on the two of you, then I won't worry about it.

"But……"

Just as Chen Xueman was about to try to persuade Jiang Li again, suddenly, Chen Xueman frowned.
She could clearly sense that those guys were about to arrive.

“Okay, since Brother Li says so, then let’s stay here together.”

Chen Xueman smiled slightly.

But in reality, what she was thinking was that if things really turned out badly, she wouldn't care what Li-gege's wishes were, and she would take the initiative to cast a spell to make Li-gege leave.

Chen Xueman quickly set up a magic array at the entrance to this huge stone chamber.

All 50 members of the Blue Butterfly Group were ready.

Jiang Li wiped the lightsaber in her hand.

In his mind, it would be a lie to say that Mina wasn't nervous.

During her two previous missions, Jiang Li knew that she had many companions with her.

Behind them is the Dragon Guardian Bureau.

There's always a sense of confidence deep down.

But that's different now.

In a foreign land.

Even this foreign monastic institution was his enemy.

On his side, there was only Chen Xueman and some of her subordinates.

Six minutes passed.

When the group from the Sakuragi Bureau arrived at this cave, they saw Hojo Sana sitting cross-legged in the center of the magic circle, with snake-like phantoms coiling above her.

They all thought the magic circle had started and that the Yamata no Orochi was about to be awakened.

Everyone rushed towards Hojo Sana's direction.

But the moment they took that step forward...

Silver cages appeared beneath their feet, forming a magical array that surrounded them.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xueman emerged from behind a rock:
"Chen Xueman, what are you doing? Do you intend to awaken the Eight-Headed Serpent and destroy our country?"

The deputy director of the Sakura Bureau shouted loudly at Chen Xueman, his expression extremely tense.

Chen Xueman looked at the other person as if they were an idiot:
"First of all, although I have absolutely no goodwill toward your country, it is, after all, the country of my friend."

Moreover, destroying you will not benefit me at all; it will only weaken the power of our human race.

Secondly, the person who really wanted to destroy me wasn't me, but those traitors in your Sakura Sun Agency.

Now I have a way to seal or even kill the Yamata no Orochi using reverse magic.

It only takes the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

If you believe me, then stay where you are and don't move.

"The demons will rush in soon; let's stop them together."

"Ridiculous! Do you think I'd believe you?"

The deputy director of the Sakura Sun Agency sneered and then waved his hand dismissively.

"Arrest them all! We absolutely cannot let the Yamata no Orochi escape!"
