"Is this the end?"

Zhengu couldn't believe that this demon named Xiangkai had a very difficult blood demon art. The drums on the left and right shoulders and thighs could turn the space upside down. The order of the six sides of the whole room would change, the ceiling could become the floor, and the floor could become the wall. But when the room turned upside down, the others would maintain their previous posture.

If it weren't for the trained swordsman, he would lose his balance and fall down in that instant. In addition, with the long-range attack, the opponent was much more difficult than the ghost on Fuji Mountain.

"It's only right that it ends so easily. The first time I saw it, if I wasn't familiar with the upside-down space and hadn't used my strength awkwardly, its head would have fallen off at that time. I have to say, its ability is disgusting."

Li Mo said: "Before I came here, I was moving towards this place. But the room kept changing, and the distance I had previously shortened was wiped out. I had to start all over again, but it was bound by its own inherent thinking. In its cognition, the definition of the room was too rigid."

Ghosts are transformed from humans. Even if memories may be lost in the process, the mindset will not change. The personality before becoming a ghost is the same as after becoming a ghost. Hibiki, based on his own thinking, limited his blood ghost arts to this point, or in other words... it is already very good for people in the Taisho era to have such cognition and use blood ghost arts to this extent.

If it were a modern person, I wonder what kind of tricks they would come up with.

"Let's go back to the abandoned temple and rest. It feels too gloomy to rest here."

Li Mo suggested to Zhen Gu. Night had just arrived, and the two of them had rested in the afternoon. But when the sun sets, it is time to rest. This rule still remains in people. I am afraid that it will have to wait until the future, when we enter the era of electricity, to change people's daily routines.

He himself is like this. In modern times, he would not sleep until late at night. After the so-called anti-addiction measures were over, he started to stay up late in revenge. But after coming to this world, he became a person who gets up early and goes to bed early for good health.

"Here then."

"Let 'Yin' handle it. I saw some bodies of victims along the way."

The demon-killing swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps are only responsible for killing demons, while the subsequent help to the victims is handled by the "Hidden" people. In fact, if one becomes a "Pillar", there will be special "Hidden" to help gather information.

——All this is just to improve the efficiency of killing ghosts.

Leaving the house, he returned to the abandoned temple on the mountain. It looked shabby and much simpler than the ghost house, but Li Mo felt that it was more like a place where people could live. There was no human touch there.

……

The next day, they returned to the town. They had met with the people from "Yin" last night and completed the handover. Li Mo and Zhen Gu had different levels in the team. With the testimony of the Crow, the achievement of killing the previous Lower String was enough for them to get rid of the lowest level title of "Gui". But the arrival of these logistics troops brought bad news.

"Kuang Jin, are you okay?"

Masahiko Kenno is a local. Last night he was hunting down another female ghost near the town. This was supposed to be an easy job because the ghost was strong enough to be thrown to Fujiki Mountain. But even so, Masahiko Kenno and his teammates were still lying on the hospital bed.

"It's okay, Yin said I'll be fine after a while of recuperation. But my teammates were seriously injured and had to be rushed to other places."

"Did anything unexpected happen?" Li Mo pulled out a stool and sat in front of Kuang Jin. He felt that this story should not be so short.

As it turns out, this is a long story. Although the ghost is good at hiding, it is really nothing in terms of strength. But in this small town, a second ghost appeared. It was tall and had a blood ghost technique that could change the shape of its hands. It was troublesome to deal with, but Masachika Kenno and his companions were quite strong and successfully defeated the other party, but they were also injured and lost their fighting ability.

"So, the ghost you were chasing has already escaped?"

"Yes, she has left here. But we still know the direction she fled. She should have fled towards the direction of Nada Mountain."

Suddenly a place name popped up, and Li Mo was of course puzzled. He was not a local, so how could he know where this place was? 夈野匡近 quickly realized the topic and told him that Nada Mountain was a famous mountain nearby. It was completely different from the mountain range he went to last night.

It is said to be nearby, but in fact it is still far away. At least one or two days away. The reason why it is famous is that many people died on that mountain.

"Could it be caused by a ghost?" Li Mo asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. It's normal not to see the corpse when wild beasts injure people in the deep mountains. The only exception may be that there are a lot of strange spider webs on that mountain in recent years." said Kuangjin Ye.

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Huh? I just said spider web."

That field, spider. Wouldn't these two keywords together be the That Field Spider Mountain? It wouldn't be such a coincidence. With this in mind, Li Mo began to ask for more information about this matter.

Wanye Kuangjin didn't know why Li Mo was so serious about this, but he still told Li Mo the relevant information seriously.

Spiders appeared on Nada Mountain about ten years ago, but people didn't pay much attention to it. It's normal for spiders to appear in the wild, but there have been more spiders there in recent years. In addition, there were cases of wild animals injuring people in the vicinity decades ago, so no one felt much about the loss of a person on Spider Mountain.

But it was different for Li Mo.

He pondered for a while, and then proposed to Kenno Masachika that he accept his task.

"Are you really going to accept the mission from Masachika Kenno? The Demon Slayer Corps is not opposed to this approach, but... is there something you must go to? That Nada Mountain, I remember you were looking for that mountain before? Why do you want to go there so much?"

When Li Mo told Zhen Gu his idea, this is what the other party said.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "I just feel that there are ghosts there, ghosts at the level of "string". "

Is the other party talking nonsense? Zhen Gu doesn't think his junior brother would be such a person, but "Xian", a former "lower Xian" level is already difficult enough. Then, how strong is Zhen Zhen's "Xian"?

"Do you want me to go?"

"My idea is to go over there alone and take a look."

Zhengu thought about it again and again, and said, "Be careful."

"I will." Li Mo responded.

Chapter 43 He went up the mountain

Mountains and rivers are so dense that it seems there is no way out, but the way is achieved without any effort.

Li Mo had no idea that Nada Spider Mountain would appear in front of him in such a form. It was correct to look for it according to the name of Nada Spider Mountain, because it should be called Nada Mountain. The spiders there only appeared in recent years. Maybe in a few years, because of the "lower string" ghost, the spiders in Nada Mountain will increase, and it will have the nickname of Nada Spider Mountain.

Maybe, it will become like this in the future?

Who knows what will happen in the future? Besides, with my participation, will everything still develop as I remember? Of course not. Tragedy should be nipped in the bud.

"That Spider Mountain is probably near here. Crow, Crow, tell me quickly, is it here?"

Li Mo teased the crow on his shoulder. This dark bird was extremely intelligent. Not only could it be a repeater like a parrot, but it could also express its thoughts in human language. After spending some time with it, he already regarded it as a friend.

"Idiot, how many times have you asked me this? Don't you know the way? Don't you know the way? Don't you know the way?"

"Brother, I have a poor sense of direction."

"Gah! You just don't want to remember!"

The crow had never seen such a lazy person. He was unwilling to remember the map, but let his crow remember it! Did he really think the crow had become a spirit?

Li Mo touched the tip of his nose. Is it not okay to be lazy? The ghost-killing swordsman only needs to think about how to chop off the ghost's head. At most, he can add one more thing to kill the ghost before the victim appears. The Russian rescue method looks cool, but it's just cool to watch.

"Okay, let me rest at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain." Li Mo comforted the crow a little, then found a place to sit down and took out the dry food to eat. It was dusk now, and the last afterglow of the sun dyed the whole mountain red. The mountain called Natian was lush with trees. In fact, he had never seen a bare mountain along the way.

The mountains dyed red by the dusk were beautiful, but Li Mo did not think the mountains were beautiful when he thought about what might exist on the mountains. Even the most beautiful places become ugly when covered with blood.

The system interface opened in front of Li Mo. Killing Xiang Kai raised his life level by one level. He reached "LV6" and had a lot of free attribute points left, which could be used.

Having mastered the "force elimination" skill, he had an advantage when facing most ghosts. The brute force they usually relied on had a subtle effect on him. On the contrary, the claw marks and slashes caused by the drums slapped by Xiang Kai's abdomen were more threatening. The "lower string" on the mountain this time used a string, and it was difficult for him to handle the sharp string like a blade.

Then the combination of Sun Blade and Sun Breathing will be enough to deal with it, right? After thinking it over again and again, Li Mo added his free attribute points, first of all, strength. As the saying goes, strong strength can fly bricks. Cutting off the neck of a demon is a job that tests strength. If you are weaker, like Shinobu Kocho, you can't cut off the neck of a demon at all.

"Huh--?"

Li Mo discovered an unexpected pattern. When the strength attribute reached 18, the + sign of this attribute temporarily turned gray. Being familiar with the game, he knew that he could not add any more points.

Why can't I add points? Is the system so lame? Or does this number mean something? But why is it 18? What is the special meaning of 18? It can't be a number that I came up with on the spur of the moment.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Li Mo searched his meager knowledge of mysticism, he could not find any special meaning for the number eighteen.

"Then don't think about it."

The remaining two attribute points were added to perception and agility. Li Mo remembered that if it was the spider family, there would be many traps on the mountain, and more perception would be good. Moreover, he felt that if he wanted to master the "transparent world", the perception attribute could not be low.

He has almost mastered the attack method of "eliminating energy", but he has not yet mastered "transparent world". How did Tanjuro learn this? Is it natural?

Considering the scar on Tanjuro's forehead, I heard that he was born with it. Is that a "mark"? If so, with the "mark" plus the "transparent world", this is a smaller version of Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

This kind of argument is just for fun. Tanjuro's body is too weak. Facing a "ghost", there is no benefit.

"Let's go up the mountain. Don't stay on my shoulders. Fly up and have a look." He patted Aunt Song, and she flew up into the sky reluctantly. His crow flew very fast and was the best flyer among all the crows.

Li Mo went up the mountain.

The sun has completely set, and the sky is illuminated by the stars and the moon. They are not stingy with their own light. Even if the moon's light is borrowed from the sun, it is a good thing to be able to provide light.

As he climbed the mountain, Li Mo sensed his surroundings. The forest was silent and deep, and a sense of loneliness came over him. There was a plain behind him, but before he went any deeper, a chill had already crept into his heart.

After his perception was enhanced, the world became much clearer. This was not an improvement in vision, but a significant increase in the sharpness of his five senses. The traces of the leaves swaying gently were particularly clear in his eyes.

"A rustling--"

As they climbed up the mountain, the leaves began to move. But there was no breeze blowing around. What was touching the leaves? An animal? Li Mo didn't think it was an animal, but he could sense danger.

"Come out! Do you want me to force you out?" He put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

The girl walked out of the night forest, standing on the path, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness. Her entire body could only be described as white, white hair, white skin, and white robe. Her expression was aggrieved and very touching.

"Why do you keep chasing me? I've already come here. You're still chasing me? I just want to survive!"

"It seems that you are the ghost that Kuang Jin is chasing after?"

The ghost that Wei Ye Kuang Jin was chasing was a female. Li Mo knew this, but in Wei Ye Kuang Jin's description, there was nothing about it that had anything to do with "white".

He thought of the ghost living in the mountains. To him, this ghost had become a member of his family.

"It said, let me kill you. I have the power now, I can kill you! Don't blame me!"

The ghost raised his hand. What was it going to do? Li Mo didn't know, and he would never know.

Because the next second, her head flew up into the sky.

"I can't say sorry."

Li Mo passed by its decaying, declining body and ignored the sadness in its eyes.

He didn't want to say more. Maybe before she became a ghost, her experience was very sympathetic. But after becoming a ghost, it didn't matter. Killing ghosts was no psychological burden for him.

But when the bodies of Butterfly and his wife were placed in front of him, he knew that humans and ghosts were destined to be in opposition. This was a fundamental difference in their positions.

He headed toward the mountain.

Chapter 44 He Counts

"Sister, she's dead."

There is actually a house on the Nada Spider Mountain. It is the residence of a family. It is hard to imagine that there is a family in this desolate mountain forest, but this is the fact. Unlike an ordinary family, this is a ghost family.

Can ghosts have families? Maybe...

"Mother, shouldn't you be watching over my sister? She just joined us." The person who spoke was a teenager, the second smallest person in the room. But he was the youngest child in the whole family.

"No, I'm tired. Listen to me. That swordsman is too strong. And that woman left the area I set up. Before my spider silk could reach her, she was killed instantly!"

As a female elder, she said in panic. The small animal operated by the spider silk could feel the picture, and the swordsman from outside the country cut off the woman's head in an instant.

The ghost boy named Lei said, "Mother, she is my sister and also your child. Why do you use such a strange name?"
