Dororo and Hyakkimaru reach an abandoned settlement inhabited solely by Ochii, who claims villagers vanished searching for gold in the mountains. Trusting her knowledge of the treasure's location, Dororo accompanies her, but Hyakkimaru is attacked by the demon Momonga and falls into a river. Ochii is revealed to be Momon, who lures victims to their deaths by giant slugs that disguise rocks as gold using slime. After Hyakkimaru kills Ochii, Dororo starts a fire that destroys the slugs, ending the threat.
