Protagonist:

Zang Ye

Seeing Kagome's panicked appearance, Kaede revealed a shocked expression and walked over, "Let me take a look at your face."

"She looks like her, truly too alike. If she were a bit smarter, she'd be exactly the same."

Seeing Kagome's appearance clearly, Kaede's face was full of reminiscence.

Kagome stepped back two steps, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Don't just talk to yourselves, you're really weird~"

"Young lady, did you really come out of this Bone-Eater's Well?" Kaede raised her head and asked.

Kagome nodded, "Although I don't know how this place changed so much, I indeed came out of this well."

"You must have discovered by now that this is no longer your home; actually, this is the Feudal Era." Zang Ye rubbed his chin, speaking astonishing words.

"What! Feudal Era!!" Kagome looked at the different scenery all around, her heart believing a few parts. Simultaneously, she was also unwilling to believe this was real.

"It can't be... that's the Sacred Tree..."

Kagome left in a panic, walking toward the Sacred Tree.

The Sacred Tree of Higurashi Shrine was exactly the same as the Sacred Tree Kagome saw before her eyes; she thought that was the familiar Higurashi Shrine.

"Kaede, Zang Ye, that girl went to the Sacred Tree where Inuyasha is sealed."

"Shouldn't we stop her?"

"Didn't Kaede say not to approach Inuyasha?"

Kaede didn't reply, but turned her head to glance at Zang Ye, asking solemnly, "Zang Ye, what will happen next according to the prophecy?"

Previously, regarding Zang Ye's prophecies, Kaede only listened to them as a story; now, seeing Kagome's appearance, she couldn't help but believe a few parts, after all it concerned the village's future, she had to worry.

"Tonight, a Centipede Demoness will attack the village, everyone be careful. This point is confirmed from the girl; in the well bottom, she used a power she herself didn't know to sever one of the Centipede Demoness's arms. When I went to look it was already gone. When the Centipede Demoness revives, it will definitely attack the village." Zang Ye's face was grave, recounting bits of memory from his previous life.

"A severed arm will attack the village, Zang Ye you must be joking."

Although the girl who ended the war appeared, some villagers still didn't quite believe Zang Ye.

"If it's a Yokai, nothing is impossible, right."

"Still better be careful, after all it's a Yokai."

……

Kaede looked at the Bone-Eater's Well, looking at the filthy aura within, frowned, "If it's something that happened in the Bone-Eater's Well, it's not impossible either. For the village's safety, everyone go down and find the Centipede Demoness's arm, destroy it before it recovers."

Kaede's words received a chorus of agreement from the villagers.

"Let me go! Kaede, it's just a severed arm." A young villager took out a long spear and walked in front of everyone.

Kaede took out a packet from the pouch at her side, handed it to him, "Tianye lad, this is Demon-Repelling Powder. If you see the Centipede Demoness's severed arm, sprinkle it on."

"I know, Kaede." Tianye took it and put it on himself.

"Tianye, I'll go down with you too, two people can watch each other's backs." Zang Ye spoke up.

"You..."

"If Zang Ye goes down, there should be no problem."

"His strength is even greater than an ox."

Regarding Zang Ye's strength, the villagers still acknowledged it quite a bit.

"Zang Ye, if there's any danger, come up first; we'll think of a way to deal with the Centipede Demoness's arm." Kaede instructed.

She also gave Zang Ye a packet of Demon-Repelling Powder.

Zang Ye nodded, and with the youth Tianye tied a rope and went down the Bone-Eater's Well.

The Bone-Eater's Well, the space inside was several times larger than the well mouth; vines grew thickly on the sides; the well bottom was damp, the walls had some cracks.

"Found it, Zang Ye, the Centipede Demoness's severed arm!"

At this moment Tianye cried out in alarm.

Only to see in a crack in the wall, a pure white arm lay there quietly.

【Ding-dong! Centipede worm, dead but not stiff. Discovered Centipede Demoness's arm, can proceed to sign-in!】

【Sign-in!】

【Sign-in Success, gained Right Arm Strengthening, Hard as Iron!】

Tianye took out Kaede's Demon-Repelling Powder, about to sprinkle it on.

Seemingly sensing danger, on the back of the Centipede Demoness's hand an eye suddenly opened, rolling its eyeball, observing all around.

"Ah..."

Tianye cried out in alarm, sprinkling the Demon-Repelling Powder in his hand onto it.

The Centipede Demoness's arm moved with bizarre speed, dodging most of Tianye's Demon-Repelling Powder, but a small part still landed on it.

The Demon-Repelling Powder touched the Centipede Demoness's arm, and like rising water vapor, white smoke billowed up.

The eye on the Centipede Demoness's arm revealed a wary expression, leapt up, dodged Tianye's long spear, and like walking on walls and flying over eaves, fled toward the well mouth.

"Don't think you can run!"

Sensing the Centipede Demoness wanted to escape, Zang Ye gave a loud shout, his whole body leapt up, right arm punched out, striking the Centipede Demoness's arm into the wall.

Left hand threw the Demon-Repelling Powder Kaede gave, sprinkling it all onto the Centipede Demoness's arm.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

In a moment, the Centipede Demoness's arm turned into white bones, stuck in the wall.

At the well bottom, Tianye stared dumbfounded, "So high, he just jumped up."

The distance from the bottom of the well to the Centipede Demoness's arm was at least three adults tall, yet Zang Ye leapt up in a single bound.

"Zang Ye! How is it, has the Centipede Demoness's arm been eliminated?"

Kaede asked with concern at the well's mouth.

The villagers who were just at the well's mouth, they personally saw the Centipede Demoness's arm escape inside the well.

Zang Ye's pursuit was also seen clearly.

Zang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "It's fine now, Kaede, the Centipede Demoness's arm has already been eliminated!"

……

At this time, Zang Ye and Tianye, the two of them, came out from the bottom of the well.

"Ah…"

A cry of alarm from Kagome came from the direction of the Sacred Tree.

"Bad, that girl, must absolutely not release Inuyasha." Kaede's face was full of worry, she hurriedly ran off.

Everyone followed together.

By the time all of you arrived before the Sacred Tree, discovered Kagome collapsed on the ground, face full of terror, scared stiff and not daring to move.

At her feet, a gray-black snake was standing upright, the snake flicked its forked tongue, nearly as thick as a wrist.

"Snake!"

Looking at Inuyasha still within the Seal, Kaede breathed a sigh of relief, "Truly a false alarm."

"Such a big snake, using it to make snake soup would be best!"

Zang Ye revealed an excited expression, his whole body crouched down, slowly approaching the snake.

Seemingly sensing the movement behind it, the snake turned its head.

However, Zang Ye's speed was even faster than it, in just an instant he pinched the snake's seven-inch point, pressed it to the ground, and with one stroke of the knife chopped off the snake's head, blood splattering all over the ground.

Kagome cried out in alarm, retreated repeatedly, "How could there be such a big snake, here!"
