Strange Cards

Chapter 179 The Little Black Hair Turns into a Little Gray Hair

After the revenge operation that night, Bai Yu joined the Hunters and took over Shi Yu's position as the new Hunter of the Southern Base.

The Hunter's headquarters gave this operation a very high rating and even prepared to erect a memorial tablet for Shi Yu and send it to the national ancestral hall so that he could enjoy the incense offerings.

Bai Yu always remembered Shi Yu's words. After finishing what she was doing, she stood at the western entrance of the forest wearing a cloak, quietly waiting for Shi Yu to appear.

But Bai Yu waited for a long time and did not appear. It was Liu An who came and took Bai Yu back to the base to sleep.

Shigure's room was unchanged, still laid out as before, except that there was one less person in the room.

Every night before going to sleep, Bai Yu would take a pillow and put Shi Yu's shirt on it, and Bai Yu could only barely fall asleep by smelling the faint scent of Shi Yu.

Bai Yu wondered if Shi Yu would return as before, lying quietly beside her after she took a nap.

But fantasy is just fantasy. Many days later, Bai Yu opened her eyes and found that she was still hugging the pillow, but the person she had been thinking about day and night still hadn't returned.

Bai Yu's cat ears droop all day long, her fluffy tail hangs limply behind her, and even her bright blue eyes look listless.

"Miss, I'll go to the city to look for it today."

Steel Claw emerged from Bai Yu's shadow. Bai Yu nodded upon seeing Steel Claw, and Steel Claw then disappeared back into the shadows, leaving the Hunter's Base.

Steel Claw and White Rain did not have a pact. It was just that before Shigure left, he gave Steel Claw an absolute order to protect White Rain for a year and not to harm her.

Before Shi Yu died, he had already made plans. Bai Yu, who had learned skills from Liu An, now had four more cards. In a year, he could not become a Shura like himself, but at least he would have the ability to protect himself.

By then, Steel Claw's orders would be invalid. As for Steel Claw, let him do whatever he wants, since he's already dead anyway.

But Shi Yu never expected that the three deaths mentioned by the Taoist Guiyuan would actually happen, and even more unexpectedly, the Ace of Spades used his own power to pull him back from the brink of death time and time again.

At this time, Shigure got lost in the western forest, and her demonic power was almost gone.

Shi Yu looked at the large bruise on her abdomen from the impact and helplessly used her clothes to tie it up.

"A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs; a plucked phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken."

"I never thought that even an E-rank Minotaur would almost kill me. Damn it, I've never had such a miserable experience in Shura before."

A's voice came out, sounding annoyed.

"Go ahead and build it, you living dad!"

"If you hadn't sent the Mortal Blade back beforehand, leaving no weapon to bear the power of Shura, I would have had no choice but to seal it into your Demon Blade."

"If the Mortal Blade were still there, I could seal the power of Shura onto it and you would at least still have a weapon you could use. Now, with your meager demonic power, you can't even summon half of a Blade, let alone the Demon Moon Scythe."

"Luckily, your scabbard was broken, so I replaced it with a new one. If your dad hadn't foreseen this and sharpened the scabbard beforehand, you would have died at the hands of an E-rank ghost today."

Shigure held a tree branch as a cane in his left hand, and used the scabbard of his dagger to clear a path in his right.

After all, if things aren't handled properly now, Shigure will definitely be crippled once he enters the Asura state, and then it won't just be me who dies.

Meanwhile, the otherworldly beings naturally learned of Shigure's death. Gu Nian looked at Tsubaki, who was always hanging around in front of him, and tapped Tsubaki's smooth forehead with his finger in annoyance.

"That kid isn't dead, so don't hang around in front of me. He's alive and well."

"He's in the western forest of Nanhai City right now. I'll give you the coordinates. You just need to find him quickly and dump that kid outside the city on the west side, right at the forest entrance."

"Someone will come to pick him up."

"Let's go, boss!"

"Ye Xue and I are running low on snacks, I'm going out to buy some!"

Gu Nian shook his head helplessly as he watched the creature run away, then continued to sit and suppress Joker's awakening.

As Shigure walked, he felt increasingly familiar with his surroundings, until he cut through a thicket and was stunned by the vast open space he saw.

"A cave?"

"How did I get back here?"

Shi Yu stared blankly at the place where she had last met Xiao Bo, when suddenly a ghostly force drifted into her body from inside the cave.

Although it wasn't much, it was like a timely rain after a long drought for Shiyu, which was now running out of supplies.

At least with these supernatural powers, Shigure can guarantee that he can get out of this forest alive, without having to fear dying in it.

Shiyu naturally sensed whose ghostly power it was and kowtowed towards the cave.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao."

"I never expected you to save my life again."

As Shigure spoke, she walked in one direction, the very direction from which she had escaped from this forest when she was a child.

Following the marks she had left as a child, Shi Yu quickly arrived at the main road, where she saw someone she absolutely did not want to see at that moment.

"Tsubaki?"

"Don't give me that crap, you little gray-haired brat! Just knock me out first!"

Just as Shigure was about to mobilize his power, he was knocked unconscious by Tsubaki. Without saying a word, Tsubaki used her height of about 1.5 meters to carry the 1.8-meter-tall Shigure on her back, carrying him like a log.

Chun turned her head and glanced at Shigure on her shoulder, looking at his gray hair.

"I never expected the little black-haired boy to turn into a little gray-haired boy!"

"You should be glad that Tsubaki-sama found you at this time~"

"Otherwise, there won't be any fun to watch, hehe."

After saying that, Chun used her strange card to turn Shigure into smoke, then placed Shigure at the entrance of the western forest and hid her in a big tree, watching from the shadows.

After receiving news from Steel Claw, Bai Yu listlessly arrived at the entrance of the Western Forest and waited. But this time, Bai Yu saw a black figure lying by the roadside.

"This is......"

Bai Yu ran over in small steps, and when she saw that head of gray hair and that face she had been longing for day and night, she suddenly burst into tears. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly took out her Hunter phone and called Liu An.

"Aunt Liu! I've found my owner!"

"Come quick! Master has fainted here!"

Chun, standing on the tree, smiled as she watched Bai Yu busy there, then transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Chun went to buy snacks, of course. After all, the excuse she used was genuine. She and Yexue had really run out of snacks after playing games all night for the past few days, and if they didn't restock, neither of them would have any left to eat.
