Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 147 Old FriendsInner Demons Retreat

Late at night, Xue sat by the campfire, quietly looking at an old photo she had taken out of the supply box.

Although she had never seen the other party before, Xue knew that the people above were the village chief of Luhua Village who used to be a hunter, his niece, and... the son of the crazy old hunter who died while trying to stop the beast tide.

The person who tied the bell must untie it. After thinking for a moment, Xue decided to use the power of "time" and "consciousness" to call back the soul of the old hunter's son when she met him next time, and let the person himself untie his father's inner demons.

“…Come out, you’ve been watching all night.”

Putting away the old photos, Xue looked at the pile of books not far away, and a Feline cat with mosquito larvae on its head walked out.

"Excuse me, are you...Sister Xue?"

Hearing this name, Xue was stunned for a moment. This Felyne seemed to be an acquaintance of hers.

"Are you... Levitt's follower, the Feline Carl?"

"Meow, is it really you, Master Xue? Haven't you already..."

After confirming Xue's identity, the mosquito larvae head cat trembled a little. Was he meeting the ghost of an old friend?

"Well...let me tell you slowly..."

The bonfire burned quietly, and the snow told everything.

After hearing this, the mosquito larvae head cat fell silent. Although it was hard to imagine, the Snow Lord he knew was indeed here.

"Well, it's normal to be surprised. By the way, how is Levitt now?"

"Master, he's doing very well. Not long ago, he single-handedly drove away the Xialong and killed the Gold Rathalos and Silver Rathalos that were threatening the village's safety."

"I see. It seems he has made a lot of progress."

Thinking of the naive big boy who was like her younger brother in her impression, Xue felt helpless.

"Karl, just follow us first. Once I find the coordinates of that world, I'll send the three of you back together."

"Thank you, Master Xue, nya..."

……

Time passed quickly and it was early morning. Yato Heikaku and the two cats woke up early.

When Carl saw the mosquito larvae head next to Xue, he was stunned for a moment as expected.

After Xue's explanation, they also understood what happened.

After tidying up and having a simple breakfast, everyone planned to continue their journey to find the fire dragon.

Then, the crazy old hunter appeared.

The moment he saw the three people, hesitation clearly appeared on the old hunter's face, but soon, this hesitation turned into inexplicable coldness.

"It's you...you shouldn't be here."

"It is our freedom to enter the forest, so why shouldn't we be here?"

Ye Dao frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"It seems..."

"You mean the fire-breathing monster?"

Xue didn't wait for the old hunter to finish speaking and spoke first.

"...If you knew this, why are you still here?!"

The old hunter's emotions suddenly became a little out of control.

“Because we’re here to solve a problem.”

"You don't understand how terrifying that guy is. You don't understand what fear is!"

"Oh, I don't understand? Old man, I'm also a hunter. I've hunted at least a dozen fire dragons. And you're telling me I don't understand that guy?"

The old hunter Ming did not expect Xue to say this, and he hesitated for a moment.

Xue continued to speak, intending to resolve the old hunter's inner demons this morning.

"Old man, your name is Bai Sheng Yigang, and your son's name is Bai Shengming, right?"

Xue's continuous punches obviously made the old hunter a little overwhelmed. How did the other party know?

"Why would you..."

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. Let your son untie your inner demons."

"You...!" The old hunter hadn't finished speaking, but the next moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Grandpa, long time no see~"

The old hunter turned his head and looked at the person behind him in disbelief.

"Ming...is it really you?"

"It's me, but now I'm probably just a remnant of a dead soul."

Hearing this, not only the old hunter, but everyone else was stunned. A remnant soul? That was too outrageous.

Subconsciously, everyone looked at Xue, and Xue didn't intend to hide it.

"The power to transcend the river of time and guide souls home."

While Xue was talking to a few people, she was also talking to Baisheng and his son.

Listening to the two people's stories, the group gradually understood why the old hunter was so out of control.

"Ming...whatever you said at that time, I couldn't stop you..."

"I said, I will definitely defeat them."

"Did you do it?"

"I... did it." Bai Shengming's soul forced a smile.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, at this moment, the old hunter's inner demons dissipated, and he now only wanted to truly accompany his son for the last period of time.

"Well... why are you leaving? Since I was able to lead you here across time, I can naturally resurrect you in the true sense of the word."

Xue's words shocked everyone again.

"Mingshuang, is there anything you can't do?"

"I think, maybe there is..."

Waving her hand, Xue looked at the hunter and his son who were still stunned.

"You, no, who are you?"

The old hunter looked at the snow and had some guesses in his mind. This inhuman power might be the ghosts and gods in mythology.

"Just think of me as the incarnation of a god. Of course, I need you to pay a price for saving people."

Although the other party had no relationship with her, Xue still wanted to collect a small reward.

"God... Please tell me, I will do anything to revive my son."

The old hunter did not doubt Xue's words. After all, who else could possess such powerful strength except a true god?

"It's simple. Stop interfering in matters concerning the fire dragon and...stop being bound by what happened in the past."

While Xue was warning the old hunter, she was also warning Ye Dao beside her.

“It’s not about forgetting the past, but about looking to the future and living well.”

"...Okay, I understand." The hunter thought thoughtfully.

The next moment, Bai Shengming's soul had turned into a physical body, and Xue and his group had disappeared from the spot.

……

The group reappeared in the mine, and were greeted by another group of hospitable infected creatures.

But at this moment, there were three hunters on Xue's side, and the infected creatures were quickly cleared out, leaving no one behind.

"Hello! Is anyone here?"

Suddenly, a stranger's voice came from the other side of an iron gate not far away.

"What's that sound, meow?"

"The sound of someone talking?"

For a moment, Scholar Cat and Black Horn thought they had heard wrongly.

"Hello, is there anyone at the door?"

Hearing the sound of snow, the people on the other side of the iron gate suddenly became excited.

"Yes, yes, yes. I've been stuck here for two days. Can you help me move the things blocking my way? Sorry for the trouble!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. There was nothing in front of the door?

"Miss over there, there's nothing in front of the door. Please try to lift the handle at the bottom."

Hearing this, the girl on the other side of the door tried, and then the door opened.

"Hmm? Is that so... Ah! It's open!"

"Is this how it opens? No wonder I didn't find it, haha, what a wonderful design."

Seeing this, the same thought appeared in everyone's mind:

Is this kid a natural idiot? Absolutely.

"Were you trapped like this for two days?"

"That's right, hehe, maybe I was a little lost in thought when I was observing. After all, I saw something extraordinary..."

The girl seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became a little complacent.

"By the way, may I ask, young lady, who are you...?"

The girl finally realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Takii Mirai, and I'm an ecologist."

"Black Horn, aren't the horns on her head different from yours?"

The scholar cat looked at the antlers of the Elafia clan with some curiosity.

"Takii Mirai? Are you from Luhua Village?"

"Exactly."

"I'm a hunter, and these two are Rhodes Island operators. We're on a mission nearby. My name is Dark Frost, and this one is Black Horn, and this one is Night Blade."

"As for these three..."

Before Xue could finish her words, Scholar Cat spoke.

"Meow! Are you a scholar here?"

"Of course, we're currently conducting an ecological survey in this area."

"Meow - can I see your research notes, meow?" The scholar cat's curiosity was burning.

"Hey...ah! Talking little animal, what are you doing?"

The girl named Takii Mirai became curious after hearing the scholar cat's request.

"Meow! I'm not an animal, I'm Feycat, and I'm also a research scholar, meow! Look, I also have research notes."

For a moment, the two researchers started communicating, ignoring the people around them.

"Um... Miss Takii Mirai."

"Here!" The girl came back to her senses.

"...Why are you trapped in this mine?"

"It's an environmental survey. I'm a scholar."

"Oh, yeah, I have some shocking news to tell you! You'll never guess what I saw!"

Snow smiled to herself.

"A giant flying, fire-breathing monster?"

"Eh? Miss Mingshuang, do you know?" the girl hesitated.

"It's called the Fire Dragon, and it's the target of our trip."

"Ah...how could this happen?" For a moment, the girl was a little discouraged.

"Eh? What a shame! It turns out it's a previously discovered creature. I was thinking of naming it after a manga character I recently read... but my excitement was wasted..."

"Wait! Talking little animals! I've never seen anything like you. Are you... a new species?"

The girl regained her interest and looked at the Felynx eagerly.

"Unfortunately, strictly speaking, they belong to Film."

Xue stopped the girl from doing anything.
