Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

But now there's suddenly a volcano.

Is it really a volcano crater?

Xi Minjiang raised her hand, revealing a white bracelet on her wrist.

It suddenly shuddered, and its psionic energy transformed into circles that stretched deep into the earth along the passage.

A dozen seconds later, Xi Minjiang's expression changed, and he shouted, "Everyone, scatter!"

It gushed out in scorching heat.

It wasn't lava, just terrifying air.

Then came heavy breathing.

A red figure flashed by.

A monster appears.

It resembles a crab and has large pincers.

There are also eight eyes on the waist.

Haruhiko couldn't immediately figure out what kind of monster it was.

In short, just fight.

As soon as the monster appeared, several flame-like whips lashed out at the group.

"It's a fourth-tier monster, don't panic."

With a soft shout, Xi Minjiang raised a barrier with the Kagura Bell in his hand.

Hotaru Hoshino drew her bow and nocked an arrow. A burst of spiritual energy flashed, and an arrow as clear as crystal flew out.

It ignored the flames and struck the monster.

But the monster's shell was surprisingly sturdy.

With a clang, the monster was completely unharmed.

Haruhiko wasn't too worried about the flames.

He had experimented with high-temperature flames with Tsuchimikado Mari many times.

This monster is indeed good, but it is far inferior to the fifth-tier Shiranui.

Haruhiko took out the Three Goddess Scepters.

Stormy waves!

Psychic energy surged forth rapidly, creating a massive wave in front of him.

Upon contact with flames, it immediately produced mist.

Although water is the nemesis of fire, it is still a level lower, so the effect is limited.

However, he played a supporting role.

Mist rose.

The monster's vision is temporarily obstructed.

But all the priestesses are archers, and being able to locate objects by sound is a basic skill for them.

Hotaru Hoshino and the others joined forces.

Countless arrows rained down like a storm, enveloping the monster.

Haruhiko heard the game notification sound.

He gained 130 points of psionic energy cap due to his assist.

The fog has cleared.

Only the corpses of monsters lay on the ground.

"You guys clean up the mess, I'll go down and take a look."

Xi Minjiang waved his hand and said.

Fourth-tier monsters are quite valuable and should not be missed.

But as its old lair, it might also contain some good stuff.

After Xi Minjiang finished speaking, he jumped down.

"Hotaru, shall we go too?"

Haruhiko felt bored, so he spoke up.

Hotaru Hoshino naturally wouldn't refuse.

She grabbed Haruhiko's hand and jumped down with him.

The passage is very deep.

It's about ten meters long.

Westminster has already used psionic lighting at the bottom of the cave.

Haruhiko and Hotaru Hoshino did not feel it was too dark.

Upon hearing the sound, Xi Minjiang subconsciously looked up and saw two people holding hands.

She was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, "He's really a young man."

Because she vaguely remembered that Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin had a good relationship.

But this has nothing to do with her.

Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru will both be her immediate superiors in the future.

She naturally dared not criticize it.

The ground was extremely hot.

It's probably because monsters inherently possess the ability to control magma.

Haruhiko possesses the Fisherman's Song Night Fire, which can automatically adjust the temperature, so he doesn't feel hot.

However, Hotaru Hoshino did not.

Within seconds, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face.

For some reason, Haruhiko recalled her behavior that night.

He quickly brushed aside the inappropriate image and looked around.

Countless stones, faintly radiating heat, were piled up to form the monster's lair.

"Third-tier psionic materials."

As Ximinjiang spoke, he put away the stones.

After all the stones disappeared, what appeared before them was a text.

Carved underground, it resembles a snake.

It is the language of the serpent god.

Haruhiko immediately became interested.

He quickly read it through and found it to be... a piece of literature about illness.

It tells of how the monsters longed for and worshipped the Yamata no Orochi.

However, Haruhiko still managed to obtain some information.

This monster was ordered by Yamata no Orochi to intercept the servants of Amaterasu Omikami in Takamagahara.

Divine servants are, of course, servants of God, and are generally humans or psychic beings.

It includes levels one through five.

Upon reaching the sixth level, one naturally becomes a deity, not a servant of the gods.

Divine servants are actually divine messengers.

This monster was originally at the fifth level, but due to injury and not eating for a thousand years, its strength dropped to the fourth level.

Haruhiko's previous guess was confirmed.

This was once a battlefield.

But he suspected that the so-called Akashi was the key.

Neither Nishiminjiang nor Hoshino Hotaru knew the language of the snake spirit, so they could only take pictures with their phones.

After confirming that there was nothing else, the three returned.

The monster's corpse has been disposed of.

The group continued their exploration.

However, no major discoveries were made after that.

Only a few psionic items and a considerable amount of psionic materials were found in some buildings.
