I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly Souta's grandfather's voice came from the well, asking, " Souta, have you all reached the other side of the well?" His words were mixed with a meowing sound.
Bosaku Sei responded, "Yes, Souta Grandfather, I am Bosaku Sei. The three of us have indeed crossed the well to this side." He shouted back to the well.
Upon hearing this response, Grandpa said reassuringly, "That's good. I will inform your parents first. You will stay at my house for a few days temporarily, so don't worry." Bosaku Sei felt a sense of comfort listening to Grandpa's calm response, but was also surprised by his composed attitude towards this supernatural event, as if he was accustomed to such things.
Grandpa's voice came from the bottom of the well again: "Also, if you see Souta's sister Kagome, tell her that Grandpa and Mom miss her very much. This time, take good care of Souta and bring him home safely."
As the voice gradually faded, Bosaku Sei realized that Kagome was actually in this time and space. He responded, "Okay, Grandpa, I will." He nodded, even though he knew Grandpa couldn't see him.
But there was a hint of unease in his heart. In this tense situation, he knew that finding Souta and Xiazhimaru was the top priority. Soon, he found the two of them not far away, still unconscious. After confirming that they were not seriously injured, Bosaku Sei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, they needed to return to their original world as soon as possible. Bosaku Sei looked down the well again. It was an outdoor well, and the sunlight allowed him to see the bottom clearly.
Surprisingly, what greeted him at the bottom of the well was no longer the previous view of the sky, but the actual dry and desolate bottom of the well, which had been without water for a long time.
At the same time, on the other side of the village, Inuyasha sensed an unusual aura and his eyes flashed with vigilance. "This scent is...?" His words instantly made Kagome beside him tense up.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome's eyes were filled with worry. Her appearance was obviously unusual, indicating that she was a witch. She wore wide red pants on her lower body and a white top on her upper body, with a bucket slung on her back filled with arrows.
Inuyasha furrowed his brow, concentrating as he sniffed the air. "I think I smell your little brother, and two other unfamiliar scents as well."
Kagome exclaimed in surprise, "That's impossible, Inuyasha, don't joke around. Souta couldn't possibly be here."
Inuyasha's eyes flashed with determination, his nose constantly sniffing the air, seemingly trying to determine the source of the scent. Suddenly, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "And there's also the scent of a Centipede demon."
Upon hearing this, Kagome's heart leaped to her throat. She immediately sprinted towards the source of the scent, with Inuyasha closely following.
"What... where am I?" Xiazhimaru exclaimed in astonishment after waking up.
Souta was also very shocked and didn't know how to respond. While Bosaku Sei had a hint of calmness and contemplation in his eyes.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the grass and trees on the ground rustled.
Three people suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression, and then saw a huge vortex appear in the distant sky.
The vortex rapidly expanded, and a huge figure flew out from the vortex, instantly transforming into a tall and thin monster, standing in the sky.
The demon's figure is strange, with a centipede-like appearance, sharp claws, and pointed teeth. It looks at the three people, a wicked smile on its lips. This is the demon they encountered just now.
"Hmph, brat, do you think you can seal me just like that? As long as there is an aura similar to the Shikon Jewel, I can keep reviving. You can't kill me..." The voice of the Centipede demon is cold and tearing, as if it comes from the depths of the underworld.
Souta and Xiazhimaru had a drastic change in expression, it was this monster that threw them into the well. Bosaku Sei was much calmer, he seemed to have a secret unknown to others.
The monster didn't say much, it just lunged at them with a twist.
Souta and Xiazhimaru couldn't help but tremble, but they tightly gripped the wooden sticks in their hands, ready to fight.
The monster's speed was beyond imagination, and Souta and Xiazhimaru could hardly react.
At the critical moment, Bosaku Sei swiftly swung his sword, blocking the monster's claws. The intense collision caused a sharp pain in his wrist, but Bosaku Sei gritted his teeth and persisted, not allowing the sword to waver in the slightest.
The monster roared in anger and attacked again with its claws. Bosaku Sei danced his sword into streaks of silver light, attempting to trap the monster within them.
Souta and Xiazhimaru each wielded their wooden sticks, not giving the monsters a chance to approach.
The battle grew more intense, with each of the monsters' attacks accompanied by a chilling wind and a piercing scream that tore through the air. Every time they blocked the monsters' attacks, the three of them felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
But they did not back down, with only one thought in their hearts: to definitely return to their original world alive.
Bosaku Sei was agile, and every sword dance could drive the monsters back. But the monsters seemed to recover endlessly, each attack more vicious than the last. Its eyes were filled with madness and murderous intent, as if it wanted to tear the three of them apart completely.
Xiazhimaru was scratched by the monster's claws, and the pain made him cry out. Souta hurried forward and blocked the monster's next attack with a wooden stick. His hand was already swollen, and each collision made him feel the pain of his bones cracking.
Bosaku Sei saw his companions injured and attacked fiercely, but suddenly, he saw the monster smirk slyly and take advantage of his distraction to attack them with its extra limbs.
"Get out of the way!" Bosaku Sei shouted loudly. In that instant, Souta and Xiazhimaru quickly distanced themselves, but the monster had no intention of letting them go.
Suddenly, its two claws tightly pierced Souta's shoulder, causing blood to flow immediately. Souta felt intense pain and tearing, but he gritted his teeth, trying not to make any sound.
Bosaku Sei Seeing this scene, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. The sword light flickered again, directly piercing the monster's claws, attempting to cut them with the sword.
But the monster's skin was extremely tough, and the sword blade was difficult to penetrate. It sneered and its murderous intent became even more apparent in its eyes.
"If you can save him, then come and try!" The demon laughed wildly, slowly raising the Souta high.
Just as the demon was about to violently tear Souta in half, an arrow suddenly shot from the sky, carrying powerful spiritual energy, and pierced through the demon's body.
The demon's laughter abruptly ceased as it looked in terror at the arrow in its chest, feeling the powerful purifying energy emanating from it.
"It's you again... disrupting my plans," the demon uttered these words as it was about to disappear.
"You dare to touch my little brother, Centipede demon, when will you finally meet your end," the woman spoke.
"Hehe, as long as there is a similar aura to the Shikon Jewel, I can continuously revive," it said, and then its body began to disintegrate, in the blink of an eye, the demon turned into a pile of eerie white bones, scattered by the wind.
Souta and Xiazhimaru are ecstatic, while Bosaku Sei tightly grips his sword, vigilantly observing his surroundings. The arrow clearly indicates that there are other powerful beings here.
At this moment, an elegant figure, carried by a man in red, descends from the sky and gently lands in front of the three.
It's Kagome, her arrows purified the demon's miasma and saved them. Kagome quickly got off the man in red and went to Souta, tears falling. She didn't expect to reunite with her brother in this situation.
Souta was also extremely excited, he didn't expect to see his sister Kagome.
"I'll help treat your injuries first." Kagome took out some basic first aid medicine and began to bandage Souta's wounds.
Bosaku Sei and Xiazhimaru sensed the bond between the siblings and quietly stepped aside.
"Inuyasha, I'm done here. Can you please carry my little brother to Grandma Kaede's place first? I'll be back as soon as I can walk back." Kagome said.
Inuyasha nodded, looking at Souta with a relieved expression in his eyes. The connections in this world are truly hard to understand.
Kagome is skilled at bandaging, and quickly completed the basic wrapping for Souta.
Although Souta was in pain, the sight of her sister filled her with more emotion and joy than the physical pain.
Kagome carefully bandaged up Inuyasha and then carefully carried Souta on his back, preparing to take him to Grandma Kaede's place for further treatment.
As Inuyasha left with Souta, Kagome turned her gaze to Bosaku Sei and Xiazhimaru.
"As for you two, you must be classmates of Souta?"
Facing Kagome, Bosaku Sei and Xiazhimaru could feel that she not only had outstanding looks, but also possessed powerful abilities. Just now, that demon was shot dead with just one arrow, so they felt deep respect for her in their hearts.
"Yes, we are classmates of Souta."
Xiazhimaru spoke first: "Sister Kagome, I am Xiazhimaru, don't you remember me? And this is Bosaku Sei, we are all classmates of Souta, all in Class A of Ninth Grade."
Kagome smiled slightly, as if she had found a faint impression of Xiazhimaru deep in her memory, but the passage of time had made the memory blurry. She apologized to Xiazhimaru and Bosaku Sei, saying, "I'm really sorry, it's been too long and I can't remember clearly. But I'm really happy to meet you both here."
Xiazhimaru and Bosaku Sei smiled at each other and nodded slightly.
"I'll first do some simple wound treatment for you. It looks like you've also been injured," Kagome said with concern, taking out the first aid supplies she carried with her and treating them.
Under the care of Kagome, the injuries of Xiazhimaru and Bosaku Sei were initially treated. After it was over, Kagome reached out to Bosaku Sei and Xiazhimaru, inviting them to follow her. The two exchanged a glance and then silently followed Kagome towards the nearby village.
Along the way, Kagome introduced them to the basic situation of this world and some important information they needed to know.
Bosaku Sei and Xiazhimaru listened intently.
Three people walked side by side, and Xiazhimaru and Bosaku Sei were feeling increasingly close to Kagome, especially Xiazhimaru, who seemed to have found some topics to chat about. He began excitedly talking to Kagome about the embarrassing things Souta had done at home in the past year or two, often making Souta's mom and grandpa laugh heartily.
Kagome listened intently, feeling a longing for her mom and grandpa, and also sensing Xiazhimaru's care and friendship towards Souta.
On the side, although Bosaku Sei doesn't speak much, the concern and understanding in his eyes also made Kagome feel a sense of warmth.
Unconsciously, the three of them arrived at the village. There was a relatively large house here, and as they walked in, the lush trees and flourishing flowers planted nearby greeted them with a fresh and pleasant scent.
