The final selection began.
This group of swordsmen passed through the red torii gate and entered Fujisaki Mountain one after another. Horitake remained unmoved and continued to wait. On the surface, he looked like he didn't care about anything, but in fact, he had been paying attention to the situation of Kanroji Mitsuri.
Kanroji Mitsuri didn't hesitate and entered Fujisaki Mountain.
Horitake followed Mitsuri's back and also entered it.
Unlike the beautiful wisteria forest outside, Fujisaki Mountain has dense trees and dim light. In addition, there are many ghosts imprisoned inside, which can be called a very dangerous place. When ordinary swordsmen enter Fujisaki Mountain, their spirits can't help but become nervous. They move cautiously one by one and carefully observe the environment around them.
It's not good to be careless. In such a dangerous place, you may die if you are not careful.
Mitsuri and Horitake are both skilled and courageous. After entering Fujisaki Mountain, they didn't hide or cover up, but walked in the mountain openly.
This is simply a provocation to the ghosts hiding in the mountain!
""Nishiuchi!"
With a roar, a ferocious-looking ghost appeared on the tree and attacked Horitake who was hanging upside down under the tree!
Horitake had no expression on his face. He drew his sword and swung it upwards. The ghost's body was torn into pieces. The body fell in front of Horitake and the head fell behind Horitake. It was really a death before the mission was accomplished.
Ignoring this unwilling ghost, Horitake continued to move forward. He still had to follow Mitsuri's footsteps.
From time to time, Horitake opened his spiritual vision and watched Mitsuri's situation from a distance, just in case.
Well, Mitsuri was killed simply and swiftly. A ghost, worthy of her.
After following from a distance for a while, the atmosphere of Fujiki Mountain became more ferocious at midnight. Midnight is the time of the day when the light is the darkest and the yin energy is the heaviest.
For species like ghosts, midnight is also the time when they are most rampant.
After killing two ghosts in a row, Hori Gaku also discovered some other situations.
The ghosts in Fujiki Mountain are basically the most ordinary ghosts. Occasionally there are stronger ghosts, but they are not much stronger.
Unlike the ghosts outside, the ghosts here are extremely ferocious and can often exert 120% of their strength.
Why is this so?
The final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps is generally held every two or three years.
This means that the ghosts of Fujiki Mountain have to starve for two or three years before they can eat for seven days!
Good guy, the starving ghosts finally see blood food. Even if these blood foods may kill them back, they don’t care so much. Just kill and eat as much as they can!
Therefore, Hori Gaku can often hear the howling and screaming of ghosts from afar.
Every scream means a The escape or death of a swordsman.
Hearing the dying cries of these people from afar, Hori Gaku could only shake his head helplessly.
There was no way, the distance was too far, it was too late, and it was not convenient for Hori Gaku to walk away.
Kanroji Mitsuri was still in front of him. If Hori Gaku ran far to save people, and found that Mitsuri had died when he came back, it would be a big loss.
However, if the distance was close, Hori Gaku could save them.
Hearing the sound of people running away in front of his left, he used his spiritual vision to confirm that Mitsuri in front of him was okay now. Hori Gaku drew out his Sunwheel Sword and flashed to the left front!
""Thunder Breathing·First Form·Thunderbolt Flash!"
Boom, a flash of lightning passed by, and the ghost that was chasing the person was torn into pieces before he could react. By the time he reacted, his body had already dissipated. The rescued people saw the handsome and powerful Hori Gaku, and their hearts were full of surprise and gratitude for surviving the disaster.
Before he could say thank you, Hori Gaku put away the Sun Blade, and disappeared with a flash of lightning, just in line with the poem: Swing the Sun Blade, without taking away a leaf.
In this way, the first night of the final selection passed.
That night, Hori Gaku mainly did three things: tracking, killing ghosts, and saving people.
Mitsuri Kanroji has been She was within the range of Hori Gaku's spiritual vision, and she herself did not realize that she was being followed.
Hori Gaku killed seven ghosts tonight.
He saved two people.
That's it.
The sun rose, and the ghosts dispersed.
Hori Gaku grabbed something to eat, and confirmed that Mitsuri Kanroji was also resting in the distance. He found a sunny place and began to sleep to restore his energy.
Before the sun set, Hori Gaku woke up, ate something to replenish his energy, and waited for tonight to come.
This night was the same as the previous night. Hori Gaku was still tracking, killing ghosts, and saving people.
On the second night, the tracking was normal, eight ghosts were killed, and three people were saved.. The third night, the fourth night... the fifth night... the sixth night... it's almost like that, on the seventh day of the day. It is beautiful, but most of them die tomorrow night! The bad thing is that his patience was not much.
"The mission has not been completed, and the negative butterfly effect has not occurred."
The system's decisiveness gave Horitake another���Patience.
It seems that tonight, the last night, will reveal everything.
Looking at the afternoon sun, confirming that there are still two hours before sunset, Horitake plans to take a nap, lying on the grass, sleepiness hits, drowsy
""Ah!"
Suddenly, there was a scream from Mitsuri Kanroji in the distance, which made Horitake's sleepiness disappear completely!
Horitake opened his eyes suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he jumped up. With the blessing of Thunder Breathing, arcs flashed on his body, and he rushed to Mitsuri as fast as he could. At this moment, Horitake was full of regret.
I was careless! I was careless! Who said that crises only happen at night! Accidents can also happen during the day!
When Horitake was blaming himself, he rushed over there and saw Mitsuri Kanroji's current Situation!
Mitsuri was under the shade of a tree. She didn't know what happened. The ground she was standing on turned into a dry swamp. Mitsuri was sinking continuously. Her legs were already submerged in the swamp, but she was still sinking!
Mitsuri did not fail to take measures. She was struggling hard in panic, but the more she struggled, the faster she sank!
Her pretty face turned pale and she became more desperate.
At this moment, Hori Grylls was extremely grateful to Bear Grylls for his guidance in surviving in the wilderness.
He quickly shouted to Mitsuri:
"Mitsuri! Don't struggle! The more you struggle, the faster you sink! Lie down on the swamp to increase the contact area between your body and the swamp!"
Mitsuri's face looked very ugly. When she saw someone coming, it was as if she saw hope of survival. She reached out her hand to Horitake:
"No, I can't do it! There's someone below... holding my feet and pulling me down!"
Horitake's heart sank!
It's definitely a ghost, and a ghost with special blood magic!
I was wondering how he dared to do it in the daytime, because there is no sunlight underground!
