The crow had actually come over last night, but seeing that Chika and the others were already in bed resting, it stopped cawing loudly in the middle of the night.
After all, Qianxia and the others had carried out so many missions in a row, so they definitely needed to be given rest time. It said that it was, after all, a well-mannered and officially registered crow.
After Chika pushed open the door, the crow couldn't wait to rush in. But at that same moment, the crow sensed that it was Chika who opened the door. For a moment, the crow was torn between wanting to charge and flapping its wings to retreat, which made its movements quite awkward, like it was doing a folk dance.
As Chinatsu emerged, Tanjiro and the others followed suit, as did the other boys and girls.
As they watched the crows flying in the air, they excitedly waved and exclaimed, "Is this the crow that the older brothers and sisters were talking about? It's amazing! No wonder it's called a divine bird!"
The crow, flattered by the young boys and girls, became somewhat elated. If it weren't for its professional ethics, it would have liked to play with these children.
"Ahem! Support! Support! Tohoku North! Tohoku North! Spider Mountain has requested support!"
The crow spoke in human language to announce the mission. The children were even more excited when they heard that the crow could actually speak. It's true that if you live long enough, you can encounter anything. Even though they were only teenagers, didn't this mean that they would encounter even more amazing things in the future?
Zenitsu, hearing that there was another new task, let out a deep breath, head bowed, and muttered under his breath, "Again... I'll either get killed by the demons or work myself to death..."
As we all know, before Demon Slayer got the nickname "Pillar Slayer," its first title was "Salaryman's Blade."
"Support? That must be urgent. We need to get there quickly!" Tanjiro exuded the aura of a model employee, which was distinctly different from the aura of the people around him, and even had a subtle influence on others.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group bid farewell to those inside the house and quickly headed in the direction the crow had pointed.
On Mount Natagumo, a Lower Moon demon lurks!
Chinatsu and Tanjiro ran in the lead, Inosuke in the middle, and Zenitsu at the back. Despite his breath being unsteady, Zenitsu still managed to spare a breath to complain about how the people in front of him were running so fast.
Soon the group arrived at the Spider Mountain area, where a Geng-rank Demon Slayer Corps member named Murata was hiding in the grass, warily watching his surroundings.
This Murata is no ordinary person. In the series, he is known as the "King of Passersby" and "Lucky Star". He has encountered danger many times but escaped death. Although he is only at the "G" level now, during the upgrade phase of the final battle, he reached a level close to that of a Pillar. He fought against the Lower Rank Demon and survived the final battle without losing any limbs!
Upon seeing a group of normal teammates arrive, Murata immediately asked, "What level are you?"
"I am Gui."
"Aoi, what's wrong..."
"I am Gui!"
"Why are you looking at me? They are all Gui, so of course I am too."
Murata was somewhat dismayed to hear that the group that had arrived consisted entirely of the lowest-ranking Aoi-level swordsmen. He felt powerless even at the Geng-level, so what use were a bunch of Gui-level swordsmen? Where were the Pillars? Shouldn't it be the Pillars who had come?!
"What? Are you looking down on me?!"
Inosuke immediately grabbed Murata by the collar and pulled him up. Murata, covered in cold sweat, hurriedly replied, "No, no, no, how could I possibly look down on the swordsmen of my own unit? It's just that this place is really too dangerous..."
As they were speaking, a figure dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniform appeared not far away. Murata recognized the person as his partner at a glance, but before he could call out to him, the person stiffly turned around and ran over quickly, waving his Nichirin Blade haphazardly in front of him.
A large red exclamation mark immediately appeared above everyone's heads. At the critical moment, Qianxia had already arrived in front of him, lifted her foot and kicked him to the ground, pressing her face firmly to the ground.
Tanjiro quickly and swiftly severed the spider silk binding and manipulating the man with his Nichirin Blade.
"There's a demon manipulating people with spider silk. If we can't cut the spider silk, we should try to control the people being manipulated," Tanjiro said astutely.
Chinatsu didn't warn Tanjiro about this scene, but he still noticed Chinatsu's actions immediately and discovered the spider silk wrapped around her.
I've really grown up...
Murata stared blankly at their actions, blinking in disbelief. To be honest, he hadn't even reacted yet.
How did they manage to pin someone down and rub them into the ground?
How did they discover spider silk on the person?
How could you cut such a thin thread?
This is outrageous!!!
Murata stared at them in disbelief, swallowed hard, and repeated his question.
"What...level are you?"
“Gui”.
"Oh...oh (You guys are nothing!)"
Murata forced a smile, his expression strained. In his mind, he had already judged the two people in front of him to be high-level swordsmen disguised as Gui-rank swordsmen, probably "A-rank swordsmen".
In the Demon Slayer Corps' regular ranking system, Rank A is the highest level, possessing the combat power to defeat any demon under the Twelve Demon Moons.
While Murata was still in shock, Zenitsu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but pat Murata on the shoulder and said earnestly, "It's normal, it's normal. There's no need to use normal logic to evaluate the two of them."
Murata turned to look at Zenitsu, who had spoken, and was surprised to find that the blond-haired man was actually concentrating on breathing. They weren't fighting, so why was he concentrating on breathing?
As if he had thought of something, he turned his head to look in the other direction, where the person wearing the pig's head mask also seemed to be practicing total concentration breathing.
Wait, could it be [Complete Collection - Normal]? I've heard of that technique, but it seems to be a skill that Pillars possess!
Murata, a series of shocks!
In reality, Zenitsu and Inosuke are still in the process of training, and can only maintain full concentration breathing for no more than 20 minutes. However, in Murata's mind, Zenitsu and Inosuke beside him are also Class A swordsmen hiding their identities, just like Chinatsu and Tanjiro.
Murata declared that he was determined to cling to these powerful figures; as long as he held on tight, he was certain he would survive in this mountain!
