Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

It looks like an exquisite ice sculpture.

"The Tree of Vows".

Yukihime began by saying, "The Yuki-onna clan values ​​promises above all else. If anyone breaks their vow to a Yuki-onna, their soul will be taken away and frozen."

Haruhiko nodded upon hearing this.

In Japan, there are indeed similar legends about Yuki-onna (snow woman).

He looked at Yukihime.

As she said this, her beautiful face was filled with a sense of reverence.

"The Vow Tree is a testament to vows."

Yuki turned her head, her gaze lingering on his face, and asked, "Do you have any vows?"

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

That's a good question.

He thought for a moment and said, "I will help you..."

The words "revenge" were not uttered.

He felt that this would upset Yukihime.

"What can you help me with?"

Yukihime looked puzzled.

He seems a bit slow-witted.

Just then, the Vow Tree lit up.

In the blink of an eye, it started to snow.

[Achievement: Witness the Vow.]

[Reward: A red ribbon symbolizing vows.]

[Red String of Oath: A special spiritual artifact. When casting a spell, there is a 10% chance to skip the incantation. If the oath is broken, the red string will be retrieved.]

After the game notification sounded, Haruhiko had a red string on his right wrist, while Yukihime had a red string pendant on her left ear.

Blood earned!

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

Skipping the chant means instantaneous.

Although the probability is only 10%, it can definitely be called a magical artifact.

Especially during battle.

Suddenly casting a spell will inevitably catch your opponent off guard.

As for betraying the oath, of course not.

After all, it's just revenge, not some vow of eternal love or promise.

"It's actually true?"

Yukihime touched her earrings and murmured to herself.

While the Oath Tree exists among the Yuki-onna clan, only a handful of trees can truly cause extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Unless the oath is exceptionally special.

She subconsciously looked at Haruhiko.

Snowflakes fell on him, making him appear even more handsome, like a celestial fox.

Yukihime smiled and said, "Don't break your vow."

Liars must swallow a thousand needles?

This sentence suddenly popped into Haruhiko's mind.

He chuckled and said, "I don't want to turn into an old popsicle."

"I can not let it go."

Yuki tilted her head and said seriously, "At most, I'll keep you by my side forever."

That sounds a little strange.

Haruhiko looked around.

The snow had stopped, leaving no trace, as if it were a magnificent illusion.

"With such a vast area as Qingwei Mountain, there must be quite a few monsters, right?"

Haruhiko, holding Yukihime's hand, continued walking forward and asked, "Are there any Jorogumo?"

Chapter 33 The Spider Silk of the Jorogumo

Jorogumo's spider silk is Haruhiko's advancement material.

Under normal circumstances, for a first-tier opponent to defeat a second-tier opponent, they need to accumulate enough psionic energy and spells.

From a game design perspective, it's about extending players' playtime and improving their gaming experience.

After all, it's incredibly satisfying to win against a stronger opponent.

Many people enjoy playing Souls-like games and suffering for this reason.

But now the game has become reality.

Having devised the method of skipping class, Haruhiko had no reason not to use it.

"Jorogumo?"

Yukihime pondered for a moment, then replied, "There is indeed a group."

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

He forgot that Jorogumo was a spider.

Spiders are known to have a high reproductive rate.

Living in groups is reasonable and justifiable.

This put him in a difficult position.

If it's just one, then he and Yukihime won't have much of a problem.

But a group of them would probably require trouble from Jinguji Fuyumi.

"Are you asking what Jorogumo wants?"

Yuki noticed his expression and said, "Those monsters are quite dangerous. If you're not in a hurry, don't provoke them, especially you."

According to legend, Jorogumo was a witch who hunted men, and was extremely alluring and beautiful.

They would seduce men during the day, torture them for three days, and then eat them.

The one that is most popular among them is Haruhiko's.

Young and handsome, with plenty of yang energy.

The Jorogumo women would not kill him, but would instead keep him alive to continue their lineage.

However, legends aside, the game world isn't actually that brutal.

Unless it's a malicious intrusion into their territory.

Otherwise, they would not take the initiative.

Because indiscriminate killing of innocent people would anger the three major agencies, and then it would be all over.

"I need a material, the silk of a second-order Jorogumo spider."

Haruhiko didn't hide anything and spoke up.

"If it's the second stage, then it shouldn't be a big problem."

Yukihime's beautiful blue eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

"Do you have any idea?"

Haruhiko's face lit up with joy.

Spiders use silk to catch prey, store food, and reproduce.

Normally, outsiders can only obtain spider silk through combat.

"Every mountain has a demon king."

Xue Ji shook the hand that was holding his and asked with a light laugh, "Who do you think is the Demon King of Qingwei Mountain?"

Haruhiko blinked, then asked hesitantly, "Is it Aunt Fuyu?"

Jinguji Fuyumi is a fifth-tier powerhouse.

She also lived in Qingwei Mountain for a long time.
