Chapter 85: Benefits Always Come First

According to Yuya Ubuyashiki, there are at least 20 swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Team who accepted the mission of Spider Mountain and came here. Among them, different team members confronted different evil spirits.

When Liu Xia came to this river channel, what she saw was this strange-shaped ghost that had a human figure, but looked as ugly as a spider.

Even though he is a ghost, but because he ate a lot of people, his strength has surpassed the category of ordinary ghosts, and his aura is at least much stronger than the hand ghosts and toad ghosts that Liu Xia encountered before.

And the one who confronted him was a boy with his upper body naked and a wild boar hood on his head, who used two knives like Liu Xia.

The power of the spider ghost was too strong, when he waved the trunk of the giant tree in his arms towards the boar boy like a stone pillar, there was even the sound of violent wind howling in the air.

With that power, if an ordinary person is hit by a tree trunk, more than half of his bones will be broken in an instant, and he will die. Even a breathing swordsman will suffer heavy injuries.

"Ahem!"

Although the wild boar boy tried his best to avoid the spider ghost's attack, he was accidentally hit by a huge tree trunk, and his whole body was blown away by a gust of wind for more than ten meters like being hit by a truck Far away, it only barely stopped when it hit a distant tree, and a difficult cough sounded from its throat.

"Oops... At least three ribs are broken..."

The wild boar boy has an excellent body perception ability and a very keen sense of touch. Not to mention feeling the injuries in his body, he can even use his skin to sense the approach of grudge and murderous aura.

Only three broken ribs were the result of his growing up in the mountains, often fighting wild beasts, and his physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people. Otherwise, if he suffered this blow, his body would have been half useless and he would have lost the power to resist.

Like a beast, the wild boar boy endured the pain with a firm will, stood up from the ground, and prepared to meet the spider ghost's next pursuit.

But when he raised his head, what he saw was not the manic pursuit from the spider ghost, but an extremely bright knife light.

"Clang—"

A knife light as clear as a crescent moon appeared in front of his eyes, and then disappeared at such a speed that he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Woohoo!"

Before he came back to his senses, the spider ghost let out a roar full of pain.

Then his arms were completely separated from his body, and even his legs were instantly detached from his limbs as if they were streaked by extremely sharp silk threads, and fell into the river, splashing a turbulent splash.

That is definitely not an effect that can be achieved with a single cut. If you want to cut off all four limbs from the torso, you need at least three cuts.

However, the wild boar boy did not see the second and third saber lights. Sweeping out like twin lotuses.

In other words, what he actually saw was not a single blade of light, but three blades of light waved together, but because the speed was too fast, his eyes couldn't distinguish it.

"Hoo yo yo yo!!!"

From the mouth of the wild boar boy came out a scream of unknown meaning, as if a wild boar was frightened.

This is something he can't do at all.

But to Liu Xia, it wasn't even a sword skill, it was just a very random swing of the knife.

Liu Xia stood on a palm-sized stone protruding from the water in the river, looking at the spider ghost whose limbs had been cut off, and howled miserably because of the healing power blocked by the He knife, his eyes were indifferent.

"Where are the other ghosts?"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Liu Xia looked at the spider ghost who couldn't even utter a complete sentence,

Brow slightly wrinkled.

Could this guy be an inferior ghost with insufficient intelligence like Toad Ghost?

"Forget it, it's not worth wasting time on this guy."

As soon as Liu Xia had an idea in her mind, the He Dao in her hand was already swung out.

After another flash of saber light appeared, the spider ghost's head broke instantly, and the howling stopped in an instant, and then the whole body, including the limbs, turned into ashes and dissipated.

"The boar over there."

After putting the head of the spider ghost, Liu Xia turned around and stared at the boar-hooded boy not far away, and asked again: "Do you know where the other ghosts are?"

"Wooooohoo!"

The wild boar boy was quick-witted, and let out a strange cry like a wild boar again, then he held his two knives in high spirits, and ran in front of Liu Xia.

"Child! Is it a child who swings that kind of knife! But it doesn't matter! Come and fight me!"

Seeing the wild boar boy dancing and dancing as if excited, Liu Xia frowned again.

Is this another mental retardation?

"Where are the other ghosts?"

Lucia asked again.

Unlike the previous spider ghost who obviously didn't even possess intelligence, this wild boar boy was obviously a swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Squad. Although the thinking circuit in his brain was a bit strange, at least he could communicate with words.

And he went up the mountain much faster than Liu Xia, so he should know the existence of other ghosts.

"Other ghosts?"

After Liu Xia asked again, the wild boar boy obviously recovered from his own thoughts, put his hands on his hips, and spoke with an extremely proud expression.

"have no idea!"

Lucia turned around and left.

If he said another word to this guy, he was mentally retarded.

However, the wild boar boy hadn't finished speaking.

"Although I don't know, we have encountered other ghosts before!"

Lucia stopped in her tracks.

"Then that ghost was killed by Tanjirou!"

Lucia continued walking.

Although she heard a familiar name from the wild boar boy, Liu Xia still didn't care.

The reason why those two people were saved from Purgatory Xingshoulang last time was that he didn't want the hot relationship between the two to be ignored and tarnished by Purgatory Xingshoulang.

But although Liu Xia values ​​the precious brother-sister relationship between them, he is also a hopeless realist.

He has a clear understanding of his abilities. He is not a god, and it is impossible to protect those two people for a lifetime. He does not have that ability, so he does not intend to protect them like a nanny, and will only help them when necessary.

As long as it is not certain that they will die, or their relationship is tarnished, Liu Xia does not intend to do anything for them.

Even if he enters this mountain, he may encounter danger, but between 'slaying as many evil spirits as possible' and 'going to protect Tanjirou who may be in danger', Lucia will still choose the former.

Because although he values ​​the brother-sister relationship between Tanjiro and Nezuko, he values ​​his own interests more.

In the case of a conflict between the two, he will definitely choose the side that is beneficial to him without hesitation.

In other words, he will only selectively help them without involving his own interests.

In his mind, interests always come first, and other things, whether it is "obligations that need to be fulfilled" or "hot and precious feelings", must be placed in the back row.

"Wait! Why are you going! Fight with me..."

The wild boar boy's shout came from behind him, but Liu Xia ignored it, instead left the river and continued to turn around in the mountain.
