Blanch!

Licking a dog!

Hidan spat at Tobi with disdain, his expression sour, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Although he wasn't afraid of that bastard Shinji (swallowing hard), there was no need for him to make things difficult for himself.

But once this is over, he'll definitely teach that despicable sycophant Afei a lesson!

[Chapter 307. Evacuation]

Shinji's expression at this moment was somewhat inscrutable.

After realizing that sending more troops would only result in certain deaths, the enemy seemed to intentionally stop this practice.

So his grand plan to farm cursed soul points had to be put on hold for the time being.

What upset him even more was that most of the killings he had just done yielded no reward, because the monsters he killed were all modified monsters, not even cursed spirits, so there were no exorcism rewards.

However, this also aligns with some of his guesses before he came.

After all, even a top-tier cursed spirit would find it difficult to gather so many low-level cursed spirits within a limited time to cause chaos everywhere.

Now he knows why.

Shinji glanced back at Sasuke and Tamamo Hotaru, whose chakra and stamina were almost depleted, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Tobi, take them away first, and then when you come back, prepare some items that can provide light. The dark environment here is very disadvantageous for us."

"Brother Shinji, I'm fine, I'm not leaving!"

Before Afei could say anything, Sasuke stood up first, his face full of stubbornness.

However, Shinji showed him no respect whatsoever, saying bluntly, "With your current strength, a gust of wind could blow you over. What can you possibly do? Besides, you probably didn't even have enough chakra to unleash a single ninjutsu before you chased after him and killed him with a kunai, right?"

"So tell me, without your stamina and chakra, what help can you provide by staying behind? To be a target and draw fire?"

Sasuke's face turned red from the criticism, and he wanted to retort but couldn't find a point to refute.

Because the current situation doesn't allow him to stay simply because he feels capable.

Seeing that Sasuke had finally stopped being stubborn, Shinji's tone softened a bit, "The real enemy hasn't shown up yet, and what follows will undoubtedly be a tough battle."

"I understand, I was too impulsive just now."

After calming down, Sasuke realized his own problem and stopped trying to be brave.

Tamamo Hotaru was even less likely to object; if they continued to go any deeper, she felt she would really die there, and she wasn't joking.

However, before leaving, she gritted her teeth and kept Jiaoyue behind, saying, "Jiaoyue is a member of the Moonlight Fox clan. She can not only absorb moonlight to enhance herself, but also release moonlight to kill enemies at crucial moments. She might be of some help in the dark environment later on."

As if to verify what she said, a faint moonlight enveloped the bright moon. Although it was not particularly bright, it was still a useful mobile light source in the dark environment.

Shinji nodded. "I will protect it."

Tamamo Hotaru hugged Kyoto's head again reluctantly before walking over to Sasuke.

Abi used his divine power to take Sasuke and Tamamo Hotaru away.

"Don't rush off. Let's collect the scattered green fluorite on the ground; we'll need it later."

Shinji glanced at the dark passage ahead and called out to Hidan.

Hidan instinctively wanted to refuse the job of picking up trash, but was glared at by someone and instantly became dejected.

After all, even the most unrestrained husky has to behave itself under its owner's death stare!

Otherwise, the next meal might very well be dog meat hot pot.

After collecting a bunch of green fluorite, the two continued walking forward. Even the Moonlit Fairy obediently picked up a green fluorite with her mouth, leaving Hidan speechless.

With these tools to illuminate the way, the darkness ahead was finally dispelled somewhat.

And it's unclear whether they were all killed or went into hiding.

During this journey, we didn't encounter a single obstacle.

Then they arrived at a huge space. With the help of the fluorescent light, they could see that it was divided into smaller spaces, where the captured humans were kept.

There were roughly one hundred people per cubicle, and everyone's face was filled with fear and unease.

The sudden appearance of green fluorescence caused quite a bit of panic.

After all, from a distance, this thing does look like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, I'm scared."

"Someone save me! I don't want to die!"

"Ghosts! It's the spirits coming to take us away! Hahahaha, die! Die, all of you! We're all going to die anyway..."

. . . . . .

"How about we just sacrifice all these people to the evil god?" Hidan suggested.

Shinji glanced at the guy speechlessly. What was he thinking? If he really did that, he'd be swallowed whole by the censored beast tomorrow!

"Let's get these people out of here first, so that nothing else goes wrong later."

Shinji originally planned to first eliminate the special-grade cursed spirits entrenched here, then clear out all the monsters before rescuing the people.

However, since we've already encountered them and there are no guards around, we might as well rescue them first.

Hidan pouted regretfully, "Whatever, I'll do whatever you say."

So the two of them quickly and efficiently took action, using the fluorescent light to release everyone, and under Hidan's fierce intimidation, they successfully silenced everyone.

Shinji glanced around and estimated there were over three thousand people here, most of whom were in very poor condition, and many were sick.

He doesn't have any better ideas right now, so he can only ask the people here to bring along those who have mobility issues.

Then he carefully gave a few more instructions.

Fortunately, everyone here knows how terrible this place is, so now that there's hope of escaping, they're naturally very cooperative.

He listened to and obeyed everything Shinji and Hidan said.

This pleased Shinji somewhat.

After all, he came to save people as a side effect. If he really encountered those brainless guys, he might really have Hidan kill one to warn others, and first pay tribute to the old man Jashin.

"Hidan, take these people back the way you came. There shouldn't be any danger outside anymore. I plan to go deeper and clear out all the monsters inside. After you send these people out, come back and meet up with me."

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Hidan left with his men rather unhappy, because he preferred to stay and kill rather than save people.

But it must be said that Shinji has done a very good job training Hidan over this long period of time.

Hidan, who had previously suggested sacrificing everyone to the evil god, is now obediently leading a group of 'sacrifices' out.

In crucial moments, Hidan is quite reliable and won't let you down.

Shinji then felt reassured and continued on his way with Kyoyue.

According to the goat-headed monster, the top-tier cursed spirit on Black Mountain is hidden in the deepest part, so as long as you go to the end, you will definitely find it.

However, when he finally found the place the goat-headed monster had mentioned, he couldn't help but show a surprised look.

Because he didn't find any top-tier cursed spirits here; instead, he was trapped here by a group of monsters.

[Chapter 308. Humanity]

"What a hassle!"

Hidan initially thought it was just a matter of taking a group of ordinary people out, nothing difficult about it.

The result was indeed not simple.

First, the pitch-black environment posed a significant challenge for them; second, anything could happen during the movement of thousands of people.

Some had accidentally fallen, some had gotten lost from their families, some were crying loudly, and some were cursing viciously...

Hidan was really annoyed, but he couldn't just abandon these people.

So he could only coldly distribute the glowing fluorites he was carrying, one at a time, so that those who stayed behind could at least see some light ahead and not get lost.

If Shinji were here, he would definitely look at this guy in a completely different light!

Did my brain suddenly click?

However, his idea was good, but after it was actually implemented, he discovered a lot of drawbacks.

First of all, human nature is selfish. In the dark, people will instinctively chase after the light source, so each lucky person who gets fluorite will be surrounded by a group of people.

Then some people will wonder, why should something so important be in his or her hands?

What if I lose it?

What if I fall behind?

If I get my hands on this thing, as long as I can see my surroundings clearly, wouldn't I be able to get out on my own?

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the atmosphere suddenly became unusual.

The conflict erupted immediately after the first person snatched the fluorite from a little girl's hand!

"What are you going to do?" the little girl cried out anxiously.

Others immediately followed suit and launched their own attacks.

But this guy calmly sneered, "Heh, do you really think you can trust such an important thing to be in the hands of a little girl?"

Some people were speechless. They realized what this guy was up to and felt a pang of regret.

Because some of them actually wanted to do it, but hesitated for a moment, and as a result, they lost the opportunity.

With the help of the soft light from the fluorite in his hand, he could see the expressions on the faces of the people around him, and his heart immediately calmed down.

"It seems that no one objects, so I will keep this item for the time being."

How could you do this?

When the little girl saw that the people around her who had just spoken up for her had suddenly fallen silent, she immediately showed an incredulous and heartbroken expression.

Then she said angrily, "This was given to me personally by that lord just now, and you just snatched it away like that! Let's see what you do later!"
