Chapter 98 Underground

"And... there are three?"

Hearing some uncertainty in Wolf's words, Busei glanced at Wolf with some confusion.

"Why is it a question?"

And the wolf answered Busei after a moment's silence.

"One disappeared the moment it unleashed its hostility."

After hearing this, Busei seemed to be thinking about something. At this time, the Tokito brothers and Amane, who had recovered, also noticed the abnormality of the two. Amane asked with some concern.

"Is it a ghost?"

The Tokito brothers behind him also swallowed subconsciously. The terrifying evil spirit last night left a deep impression on them, but Busei just said it casually.

"There should be three."

Hearing this, Tianyin was fine but the Tokito brothers turned pale and were shocked.

There are actually three!

But this expression made Busei Kawai unhappy.

"Hey, you two! As long as they're not upper-rank demons, the ordinary ones are very weak. Don't be afraid even if there are thirty more of them. Show some strength to me!"

The wolf on the side was slightly stunned after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he said to the Tokito brothers who were still a little scared.

"…Fear is more important than anything else. Temporary defeat doesn't matter…but you must overcome fear…"

After saying this, he took out three pots from his arms and placed them at his feet. His eyes were still fixed on the front, but his voice reached the ears of the Shi Tou brothers.

"…If there is any danger…use these three pots to protect yourself…"

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the depths of the dark dead woods. Under the surprised gazes of the three people, he swung his left arm in another direction, threw out a grappling hook, flew over the dead trees, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And Fuzukawa also understood what the wolf meant, and turned around to give a serious instruction to the Tokito brothers.

"Protect Master Tianyin."

Then he rushed in the direction the wolf pointed, so fast that the dust he raised had not yet settled when his figure disappeared at the end of his sight.

Only three people were left standing by the campfire in a daze.

crackle.

The sound of wood cracking in the flames could be heard, and Yuichiro's expression gradually became confused and frustrated.

"Why do we have to separate? Can't we all go together and kill them one by one?!"

Tianyin, who was standing by, held her chin with her hand. Although she didn't quite understand in her heart, she still answered Youzhilang hesitantly.

"Maybe... he wants to train you two brothers... After all, there are three ghosts..."

"Then leave me a real knife, asshole!"

Holding a wooden sword, Ichiro roared in despair, and Muichiro suddenly remembered something and looked towards the place where the wolf was before. Three pots were placed there quietly.

I walked forward and picked one up. The pot was not big and fit perfectly in my hand. I looked at it carefully. It was black and red all over and felt warm. The lid of the pot trembled from time to time, as if something was about to burst out.

He lowered his head and was about to lift the lid to look inside, but was interrupted by Yuichiro.

"Stupid Muichiro, don't stand there alone, it's dangerous, come back now!"

Hearing his brother's call, Wuichiro quickly raised his head and looked around. Although he didn't see any danger, he gave up the idea of ​​finding out what was going on. He picked up the other two small pots on the ground, but saw a wooden box under the pot. He picked it up and quickly ran back to his brother and Tianyin.

He handed a pot to each of them. Now all three of them had a life-saving item left by the wolf.

Looking at the small pot in his hand flashing with tiny electric arcs and feeling the numbness on his arm, Youchiro curiously asked Tianyin who was standing beside him.

"How do I use this?"

However, Tianyin looked at the small lavender pot in her hand, which was completely different from the ones in the Tokito brothers' hands, and shook her head at Youzhilang.

"I don't know... Mr. Hirata is also showing this kind of item for the first time, but the effects are usually very strong."

But when I turned around, I saw Yuichiro's expression of pity.

"How pitiful... She's the mistress of the Demon Slayer Corps but knows nothing and is threatened by her own soldiers with swords..."

Seeing Youzhilang's expression and the words that came out of his mouth, even the usually gentle Tianyin couldn't help but have veins popping out on her face with anger.

Is Ichiro's mouth too poisonous?

But in the end, I could only explain to him helplessly.

"Mr. Hirata is not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Strictly speaking, he is just our partner, and he has helped the Demon Slayer Corps a lot."

Ichiro had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps and knew nothing. He was just about to ask about the wolf, thinking about whether he could bring his brother to join him, but at this moment a feeling of nausea came over him.

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he turned his head in surprise and looked at Wuichiro. Sure enough, the other party looked the same. He quickly picked up the wooden sword and flew behind him, knocking Tianyin to the ground. At the same time, a ghost hand stabbed out from the ground underneath him!

Seeing that his attack missed, the ghost hand immediately retracted and then moved quickly underground. The three people could only see a mound of earth moving on the ground.

Youchiro, who had fallen to the ground, stood up quickly, protecting Tianyin behind him, while clenching the wooden sword and small pot in his hands, his face solemn.

"It's really here!"

Muichiro, who was separated by the attack, was observing the movement of the earthen mound, and when the time was right, he quickly ran towards Youichiro and Tianyin.

However, the evil ghost hidden deep under the ground suddenly stretched out his body, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Wuichiro!

What was unexpected was that the soil, which was supposed to be soft, became as hard as an arrow when it shot towards Muichiro!

The sound of the air being cut through reached the ears of the two people on the other side, causing Yuichiro and Tianyin's faces to change, but Muichiro was only panicked for a moment, then he took a deep breath, his blood circulation accelerated at this moment, his muscles bulged slightly, and a mouthful of white liquid spit out from the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, he flashed and avoided the evil ghost's attack. Just when Tianyin thought that Muichiro would be injured and fall down again due to his lack of skill, Muichiro just shook his body for a moment and ran to the two of them before the evil ghost could react.

Seeing Wuyilang's breathing slightly faster, Tianyin's eyes flashed with surprise.

He's already so proficient in using it for the second time, no wonder he's the descendant of the first generation of breathing swordsmen...

But this alone was not enough to defeat the evil ghost. At this moment, the evil ghost's voice, mixed with a hint of anger, sounded from underground.

"You have such bad luck... You chose to camp in this area, which gave me the opportunity to eat you. And those two slow-witted guys haven't discovered me yet. You are so lucky!"

Hearing the evil ghost talking to himself, Youchiro roared in his heart, how could those two guys not notice it!

But he still said it sarcastically.

"I think you were so scared that you hid deep underground and didn't even dare to leak your breath, so you weren't discovered!"

The evil ghost's moving figure hesitated for a moment, but the next moment, as if endless anger was ignited, the horrible ghost figure flew high out of the ground like a flying fish, crossed the campfire, and punched Youzhilang with his arms tensed.

"Damn brat!!"

It was said...

Looking at the furious evil ghost, Youichiro thought to himself.

Then he clenched the pot in his hand, turned his head to look at Wuichiro, then looked back and stared at the evil ghost flying towards him, without dodging or evading.

I gently bumped the ground with my feet and found that the soil here was a little softer than the normal frozen soil in autumn and winter. I glanced at the stream not far away.

He had already deduced the weakness of the opponent's ability from his words just now!

Ichiro prayed secretly for himself in his heart.

Hope everything is ok...
