Chapter 241
Tanjiro and the other two arrived at their mission destination, Mt. Natagumo.
Zenitsu Agatsuma was shivering at the foot of the mountain, not daring to go up.
Tanjiro and Inosuke Hashibira entered the mountain.
On the way, they encountered Demon Slayer Corps members.
Although the other was disappointed to see the Mizunoto-ranked Tanjiro coming to support.
But after being punched a few times by Inosuke Hashibira, he truthfully explained the situation.
And just at this moment, the Demon Slayer Corps had already sent two Hashira to support.
It's just that they were on their way.
On the other side, Zenitsu Agatsuma was sitting at the foot of the mountain wallowing in self-pity.
"Am I hated..."
"Generally speaking, would you leave someone behind?"
"Leaving a comrade on the side of the road."
"Since we're comrades, shouldn't you try to persuade me?"
"If the two of them had persuaded me together, even I would have gone back."
"But those two..."
At this moment, the sparrow nearby couldn't stand it anymore.
It bit Zenitsu's arm.
Then, the person and the bird actually started arguing just like that.
During the argument, Zenitsu Agatsuma suddenly thought of Nezuko.
Now, he had no choice but to enter the deep mountain.
So he ran wildly into the mountain.
At the same time.
While Tanjiro was thinking of a countermeasure.
He suddenly heard a strange sound.
Tanjiro was confused, "This sound..."
The Demon Slayer Corps member nearby looked panicked, "It's here again."
"I heard this sound again."
"It was after hearing this sound that the members started killing each other."
Tanjiro looked solemn, "Where is the sound coming from?"
Suddenly.
Several Demon Slayer Corps members walked toward them.
These people were not normal.
Their heads were hanging low, blood was spilling from the corners of their mouths, and their bodies were twisting as they walked.
Seeing Tanjiro's group, they drew their swords and charged over without a word.
But these people's movements were not agile, and they dodged them quickly.
"Haha!"
"These people are idiots."
Inosuke Hashibira laughed triumphantly after dodging a slash.
"They don't know that fighting among members is against the rules!"
"No."
Tanjiro said: "Their movements are wrong."
"They are being manipulated."
While speaking, he dodged the Demon Slayer Corps' attack again.
"Alright."
Inosuke Hashibira took out his Nichirin sword, "Then let's cut them down!"
"No!"
Tanjiro immediately spoke to stop him, "They are still alive, there are still people alive inside."
"And, we cannot harm the remains of our comrades."
After the two repelled a Demon Slayer Corps member.
Tanjiro smelled a sweet scent on the other's back.
So.
He took out his Nichirin sword and swung it at the air behind the Demon Slayer Corps member.
Following his slash, several threads snapped.
Tanjiro realized suddenly, "It's threads, they are being manipulated by threads."
"Cut the threads!"
Inosuke Hashibira immediately went to cut the threads behind the Demon Slayer Corps member upon hearing this.
Sure enough, he successfully caused three Demon Slayer Corps members to lose their ability to act.
He said stubbornly: "I discovered it before you!"
Tanjiro didn't bicker with him, but instead searched for the enemy, "Where is the enemy..." Suddenly, a spider crawled onto his clothes.
What is this?
Tanjiro was puzzled.
Just at this moment, he felt his arm being pulled by something, moving involuntarily.
He immediately swung his sword, slashing toward the direction his arm was being pulled.
Several threads snapped.
Those two spiders left immediately.
"Are spiders pulling the threads?"
"So that means..."
At this moment, those Demon Slayer Corps members who had already fallen actually stood up again.
Behind them, threads appeared again.
Tanjiro said to Inosuke Hashibira: "Just cutting the threads is useless, the spiders will pull the threads again. So we must find the demon manipulating them."
"Inosuke, if you have the power to determine the demon's location, help me!" Tanjiro dodged the Demon Slayer Corps' attack and explained, "I've been smelling a strange scent from the beginning. My nose can't function."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the air.
That person was deathly pale and wore a kimono embroidered with a spider web pattern.
Clearly, this eerie entrance was most likely a demon.
At this moment, he looked down at Tanjiro and the others from above, "Don't interfere with our family's peaceful life." Flying in the air?
Tanjiro was somewhat surprised.
Suddenly, he saw several strands of thread.
It turned out he was standing on the threads.
"Anyway, Mother will kill you all soon."
"Mother?"
Tanjiro was confused.
But Inosuke Hashibira had already roared and charged over.
With a running start, he rushed directly beneath the demon and leaped high.
He swung his sword fiercely, slashing toward the demon in the air.
However, the height wasn't enough, and he slashed at empty air.
The demon looked down at Tanjiro and the others, then left.
"Damn it!"
Inosuke Hashibira shouted in dissatisfaction, "Where are you going, you brat?"
"Duel me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.
Inosuke Hashibira was puzzled, "What did he come here for?"
"He shouldn't be the demon manipulating the threads, so first."
"Alright, alright, I know."
Inosuke Hashibira said in dissatisfaction: "Find the demon's location, right?"
"So annoying, Gonpachiro!"
Saying this, he placed his dual blades on the ground.
"Beast Breathing, Seventh Form."
"Spatial Awareness."
Then, he observed everything around him.
Finally, he found a demon not far away.
"Found it, it's over there."
Tanjiro was somewhat happy, "Is that so, you found it?"
"That's right, it's over there."
Inosuke Hashibira pointed in a direction, "There's a very strong aura there."
Tanjiro praised: "You're really amazing, Inosuke."
"..."
Inosuke Hashibira, who was praised, was stunned.
He felt warmth.
At this moment, the Demon Slayer Corps' slash attacked.
Inosuke dodged immediately.
"Damn it."
He said angrily: "If we want to move forward, we must deal with them."
"So troublesome, let's just cut them all down."
"No."
Tanjiro denied: "There must be another way."
"So, we cannot harm them."
The controlled Demon Slayer Corps members attacked again.
And besides Tanjiro and the other, the only Demon Slayer Corps member who wasn't controlled, Murata, stepped forward.
He blocked the enemy's attack, "Leave this to me, you guys continue forward." Inosuke Hashibira roared: "You weakling who wet your pants, what big talk are you spouting!" "You're the one who wet your pants, you stinky boar!"
Murata was dissatisfied, "I wasn't talking to you, shut up!"
After all, just now, Inosuke Hashibira hadn't been polite at all.
Not only did he punch him, but he also spoke very harshly.
He was naturally very dissatisfied as well.
Murata explained, "Although I was scared just now, I am also a Demon Slayer Corps member. Leave this to me, cutting the threads can make them stop."
"Their movements are simple, I'll be careful of the spiders, you two hurry up!" "I understand, thank you."
Saying this, Tanjiro pulled Inosuke Hashibira and left quickly.
