He stared in that direction, slowly raised the matchlock gun he had just loaded, and aimed, ready to ask the big fox to ignite the match, but after thinking it over, he lowered it again.

With the room so dark and nothing visible inside, relying solely on sound to gauge the situation, the power of the gun was unreliable, and its point-to-point attack method only increased the likelihood of missing the mark entirely... His shooting skills weren't great, having been mocked by Minamoto no Yoshiie during training.

Even though there's an "aim assist" option in the "settings," the fact the game settings couldn't be changed during missions left him yearning helplessly.

So, it's best not to gamble on being a hidden sharpshooter right now.

He took out the gunpowder bullet, contemplated, then brought out a recently obtained oil jug for burning, and held the gunpowder bullet in front of the big fox. The Guardian Spirit always understood the host's intentions. The tip of a large, flaming, crimson red furry tail lightly touched the fuse on the gunpowder bullet.

A slight consumption of Spiritual Power, with an illusory Power of Fire Attribute emerging from the Spirit Realm.

A dot of crimson fire appeared in reality, concentrating and precisely igniting the fuse.

Gu Mo raised his hand and threw the dark Warring States grenade. The concoction of black powder and earthenware, powered by his strength, flew a decent distance down the corridor and directly into that pitch-black room... The previously gentle sobbing sound abruptly ceased, as if the source was interrupted, unable to react in time.

In the dark room, a woman wearing a lavish kimono with long hair falling to veil her face, who was originally sobbing pitifully, widened her eyes, watching that dark object that flew in, rolled a couple of times in the room, with the match on its tip already burned down.

The next second, a thunderous explosion, shattering the nearby screen and paper door instantly!

The black powder, formulated through Ninja Secret Technique, unleashed a powerful explosion far deadlier than usual, the sharp ceramic shrapnel burst out in all directions, delivering a second wave of damage... The woman screamed in resentful agony, covering her face with her hands, her kimono torn in several places, spurting a spray of blood mist!

Yet, despite this proximity to the explosion, she only suffered minor external injuries.

But it wasn't over, for the very next moment, another dark object flew in almost following the explosion, the woman lifted her head with venomous eyes, somehow, she managed to detonate it mid-air.

A slick of black oil splattered everywhere... but this wasn't a gunpowder bullet.

The roaring flames lit up the room instantly, banishing the previous darkness, and Gu Mo watched as a giant snake with a woman's upper torso, measuring about five or six meters long, struggled wildly in the sea of fire, voicing shrill, resentful cries, clutching a Fire Bomb Talisman ready to unleash at any moment.

This was initially meant to ignite the oil jug. If the gunpowder bullet hadn't ignited the subsequent oil jug, he would have immediately thrown a Curse Talisman to detonate it.

Now, it could still supplement the damage...

Gu Mo watched with twitching eyes as the giant snake smashed out of the room, rushing out of the flames, its body engulfed in fire as it charged towards him with venomous frenzy. He cursed silently, decisively throwing out the Fire Bomb Talisman.

Because the talisman consumed his energy and Spirit to make, it was guided by Spiritual Eye, impelled by thought, effectively turning on "aim assist," so the fireball hit the snake woman's head with precision. But it couldn't stop the snake, driven by pain into madness.

Gu Mo took a deep breath, as anticipated, and simply pointed his finger ahead—

"You're the one! Pika... Nine-tailed!"

As if a hurricane arose in the narrow, confined corridor space, flames surged in the gale, and as he felt his stamina and Spirit rapidly draining like a sluice gate being opened, a crimson red fox appeared beside him.

Visible to everyone, the Spiritual Power manifested in the human world, with the Guardian Spirit of the Nine-tailed blocking in front of Gu Mo with cold, sharp eyes.
