Chapter 104 Team Battle Lineup
The whole story is that after the final selection ended a few days ago, Camellia and another explorer named Tornado successfully joined the Demon Slayer Corps.

The two of them originally thought that they had chosen the wrong camp in the Demon Slayer world and that there was no hope for them, but later in the final selection they found that their camp had Tsuchideki, and their hope for the future was immediately rekindled.

So they didn't give up, and worked hard to practice breathing techniques while waiting for the new Sun Wheel Sword. Although they haven't mastered the technique yet, they have made some progress compared to before, which can be considered a small gain. Combined with the explorers' originally strong physique, it is no problem for them to kill ghosts other than the Twelve Demon Moons.

They tried to carry out the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps, and after killing several evil demons, they were surprised to find that they could get the End Coins, which greatly increased their work enthusiasm.

But it also aroused their greed. Killing an ordinary little ghost would only earn them dozens or hundreds of End Coins, but if they could kill the Twelve Ghost Moons, they would get rare or even purple-level treasure chests. The income from killing ordinary ghosts could not compare to that.

Obviously, there are not infinite low-level ghosts for them to spawn in the Demon Slayer world, and everyone's stay time is limited. Considering that the world becomes more dangerous in the later stages, they want to take advantage of the intelligence advantage in the early stages and make a big move.

So their target was quickly locked on Nada Spider Mountain, the little boss of the Twelve Demon Moons, Rui, who made his first appearance in the original work. As the fifth lower moon, Rui's strength is almost the goalkeeper of the Twelve Demon Moons. They can just use Lei as a starter to get a treasure chest.

Since they couldn't predict the strength of the Twelve Ghost Moons in this world, to be on the safe side, they decided to bring along the protagonist team that had luck and explosive plug-ins.

After some deception, Tanjiro easily got on the pirate ship, and Zenitsu was also tied to the chariot by Tanjiro.

Well, ever since he met Tanjiro’s sister, Zenitsu felt that Tanjiro was his friend.

Things went relatively smoothly at first. The two explorers joined forces with Tanjiro and Zenitsu, and after leaving the mountain, they swept away all the low-level ghosts. They also met Pig-mouthed Inosuke in the house of the writer Tamagotchi ghost.

For a time, the two of them were full of confidence, and had already seen a bright future where they could rely on the protagonists to fight monsters and level up, and eventually pick up an upper-rank treasure chest.

But reality soon poured cold water on them. After arriving at Nada Spider Mountain, they encountered the fifth of the twelve demon moons. Unfortunately, there were two fifths, one was the lower fifth and the other was the upper fifth...

The most ridiculous thing is that besides Rui, there is also a Lower Moon One, Nightmare, who possesses god-level auxiliary blood demon arts.

The ability of Nightmare can make people fall into a dream instantly, and they cannot wake up unless they commit suicide in the dream. Even if you can react quickly and commit suicide, you will reveal a flaw for a moment.

Nightmare might not be able to catch this flaw due to the limitation of his physical fighting ability, but he is not the only one present. There are also Upper Rank Five and Lower Rank Five, plus seven or eight explorers from the Demon camp. He can kill them at will.

It can be said that as long as you look into the eyes of the nightmare for a moment, you will basically be declared dead.

So why aren't they dead yet?

What worries them is that Little Camellia and Little Tornado feel that they survived not because they were strong, but because they were weak.

In the eyes of the explorers and several Twelve Ghost Moons on the opposite side, their strength was not enough to cause any trouble at all. Instead, keeping them alive could serve as fishing grounds.

The Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui was lured out in this way, and now he is in a tough fight as the opposing explorer has used the strategy of surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements to the extreme.

The Sound Pillar is very powerful. At first, Xiao Chahua and the others had hope, thinking that the Sound Pillar could open a pattern and kill all the enemies on the scene in seconds.

But the reality was cruel. Not only did the Sound Pillar fail to open the pattern, his strong analytical ability was also difficult to use in this situation where he was besieged by many powerful people. After all, the opponents did not give him time to analyze.

What made Camellia and the others even more desperate was that after the Sound Pillar arrived, Nightmare had not yet activated his ability. The Upper Five's playful blood demon art was enough to beat the Sound Pillar to the point where he was gasping for breath.

At this time, Yin Zhu held two swords in his hands and calmed his breath. Facing Yu Hu's words, he had a gorgeous smile on his face, "Let me become a work of art? I'm already gorgeous enough, so isn't that art?"

He swung his sword to deflect a sneak attack from an explorer, and leaned down to take an offensive stance. "Let me perform a magnificent reversal and send everyone down the mountain alive!"

As he said this, he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed and cut off the head of an explorer from Muzan's camp before he could react. "Your dirty songs are really annoying."

Seeing this, the other explorers from Muzan's camp could not help but retreat and keep some distance from Tengen Uzui.

They realized that even if Tengen Uzui was played by the Upper Five and Lower One, he was not an enemy they could deal with head-on, and the teamwork ability between demons was catastrophic, not to mention loving and protecting each other.

So even if Yuhu and Yanmeng could have saved the explorer just now, they had no intention of helping.

There are a total of nine explorers on Nada Spider Mountain, and they do not belong to the same adventure group. Most of them did not know each other before entering the world, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are weak.

They belong to the middle and lower levels among the first-level explorers. Even though they have obtained demon bloodline, their strength is not that strong. It is hard to say whether they can defeat the Twelve Demon Moons like Rui. Therefore, they were not given numbers by Muzan.

But even if they are the weak, it does not mean that they cannot gain benefits in this world. The weak also have their own way of conquering the world, and that is to take advantage of the situation.

The powerful explorers were all given numbers by Muzan. Although the new Twelve Demon Moons directly under Muzan have gained powerful strength, they currently have no freedom at all. Instead, they can act at will.

So someone among them suggested to combine the power of Upper Rank Five and Lower Rank One to conduct a fishing siege at Mount Nada and attack the reinforcements. If the plan goes well, at least two or three pillars can be killed, which will definitely be a great harvest.

And after having "performance", perhaps they can get more blood from Muzan and further purify their bloodline.

Who says you have to be as powerful as the top three to kill the pillars? As long as they work well together, a combination of "weaklings" can also kill gods.

They believed that with this combination, even if the Rock Pillar came, they would be able to get rid of him in the absence of intelligence!

Sit-ups? That kind of thing would never happen in front of the explorers. As long as the rock pillar was controlled and knocked down, they would definitely rush over and cut it into pieces.

"Master Yu Zhuan!"

Tanjiro was very surprised to see the Sound Pillar kill an evil demon. He has always been an optimistic person and has the spirit of never giving up in battle. Even in the face of such a desperate situation, he still wanted to break out of the siege with Inoue and Zenitsu.

"Boy, I will open a gap for you, don't worry about me, just rush down the mountain."

Uzui Tengen had a smile on his face, as if everything was under control, but he knew in his heart that he was probably going to die today.

He always had a smile on his face so that the newcomers of the Demon Slayer Corps would not be too scared. If he, a pillar, fell into despair, how could the others have a chance to survive?
"Lord Uzui, I want to fight with you!"

Tanjiro said firmly that during his previous confrontation with Rui, he had already comprehended the Fire God Kagura, and his strength had greatly improved. It was just that the switching between water and fire breathing techniques made him very uncomfortable, and now it was difficult for him to fight, so he had been carrying Ino-chan and running away.

"Woo——"

Nezuko followed him, biting bamboo and making threatening noises like a small beast, alerting herself to the evil spirits that surrounded them.

"Don't be stupid, get out of here and go down the mountain to get help!"

The Sound Pillar roared while struggling to deal with the attack of the Upper Rank Five Jade Pot.

"Hehehe...are you still dreaming of breaking out of this encirclement?"

The little hand on Yu Hu's face covered her mouth and she laughed unpleasantly. "It seems that although you are born handsome, you are not very smart. You can't recognize the gap between you and me. Just like you don't understand my art, you don't understand how I can make you into a perfect pot."

As he spoke, waves rose behind him and huge figures split out from behind him, all of them were strange fish over five meters tall.

The aura emitted by those strange fish is powerful, each one of them surpasses the thunder of the Lower Five, and even approaches the aura of the Lower One Nightmare.

In the eyes of explorer Camellia, one can feel the power of the Jade Pot more intuitively. Using reconnaissance props, one can learn that these fish monsters are not much inferior to the Lower One in terms of numerical strength alone.

But this was just a derivative of the Jade Pot Blood Demon Art. While talking to the Sound Pillar, he summoned dozens of such fish monsters and directly surrounded the woods. It was obvious that he didn't want anyone to escape.

An explorer from Muzan's camp started to flatter him, "Ah, Master Yuhu's blood demon art is still as beautiful as ever. It is truly a model of art. If I could get the pot gifted by Master Yuhu after this battle, I would definitely put it at home to admire it every day and experience the highest realm of art."

This kind of obvious flattery made Yinzhu and the others feel sick, but Yuhu was very fond of it. He nodded and looked at the explorer, "Well, you are very good. You have an eye for appreciating art. I will give you a pot when we return."

"It is truly an honor. I hope to appreciate Master Yu Hu's art more. Do you think we should ask them to release more information?"

The explorer flattered him while carefully saying, "If we kill all these people and there is no one left, then Master Yuhu's magnificent artistic performance will come to an end, and everyone will feel regretful."

As he said this, he also looked at the other explorers, "Don't you think so?"

The other explorers all nodded, "Yes, we also want to continue to appreciate Master Yuhu's art."

Yu Hu was intoxicated by the compliments from a group of people. He had never enjoyed such treatment before. As a lonely artist who was not understood by others, he spent most of his time studying and creating art on his own and was rarely recognized by people/ghosts.

Of course, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with his art. Those who don't recognize his art simply don't have the vision to appreciate art.

But just a few days ago, Lord Muzan converted a new group of ghosts. These new ghosts turned out to be very artistic and had excellent appreciation. They soon made him feel the joy of being recognized, so he was willing to listen to the opinions of these ghosts and come to Nada Mountain to carry out a fishing operation.

At first, Yuhu was skeptical about the information about these new demons, but soon after arriving at Nadayama, a group of Demon Slayer Corps members came to see him off, which made him feel quite satisfied.

Following the advice of his loyal audience who knew how to appreciate art, Yuhu deliberately let one or two people go and let them pass the message to the outside world. This attracted new art supplies and the Demon Slayer Corps' sound pillar.

"Since you are so reluctant to see my performance end, I will continue to show you art."

Yuhu nodded and stopped letting the fish monster attack the weak Tanjiro and others, intending to let them continue to ask for help so as to attract more pillars.

afraid?
That doesn't exist. He is an Upper Rank Five and has eaten dozens of Pillars over the years. In his opinion, the Pillars are nothing more than mediocre in strength and are just consumables for him to create art.

As for the prostitute Futaro and his sister who were killed yesterday morning, in his opinion, they were defeated simply because they were too weak.

He is not an upper-rank goalkeeper, and his strength is much stronger than that of Jifutaro.

Lord Muzan also sent a summons the day before, but after Lord Muzan learned what he was doing, he acquiesced to his actions and did not let him go to Asakusa.

This shows what?
This shows that Lord Muzan believes in his own strength, approves of his own mind, and believes that he can kill more pillars!
