Shura on the pillar of the blade of ghost slayer

Chapter 96 Spider Cocoon

Not far away, Inosuke stopped suddenly, turned the pig's head, and stared at the bushes by the roadside with two unfocused light blue eyes.

Noticing something strange, Tanjiro hurriedly came to Inosuke's side, "What's wrong, Inosuke, did you find anything?"

He sniffled slightly, and his face became more serious. The smell was a little bad, it was a smell of a dead body, and it was the smell of at least ten days of death.

"It's a corpse. Let's bury it. Let the deceased be buried in peace and avoid the plague. Shanyi, come and help."

Tanjiro's tone was a bit sad, and he always respected life extremely.

But Zenitsu grabbed Tanjiro and said, "Don't go, that thing has a voice!"

The moment Tanjiro's body stiffened, a rotten corpse rushed out from the bushes, waving its hands with only bones left, and grabbed Tanjiro's neck.

Tanjiro was taken aback, saying that the knife was drawn, and the corpse was too close to be in time.

"Ahhhh!"

Shanyi was so frightened that he screamed.

At this moment, Inosuke kicked up the hideous corpse and yelled, "I'm so awesome!".

The body fell into the bushes and fell silent.

"Haha, you know how powerful I am!"

Inosuke drew out the double knives around his waist, smugly showing off his might.

Tanjirou's tense nerves did not relax at all.

"Is that thing a ghost? But it doesn't smell like a ghost at all."

With doubts, Tanjiro drew out the Hinaki knife from his waist, put his body close to the bushes, and carefully peeled off the branches with the knife.

At this time, he saw that the corpse had turned into its original appearance, but a few spiders with black and white flowers ran out of the corpse's mouth and nose as if they were frightened.

As a result, the spider was pierced through the body by the blade before it ran far, and then dissipated into the air as a wisp of black smoke.

Inosuke pulled out the knife and stuck it into the ground a few more times, killing all the spiders.

Shanyi turned pale with shock, "Inosuke, you, you, why are you planting spiders, it's so disgusting!"

"It was created by a ghost."

Tanjiro said with a serious face.

He inquired about the slight smell of ghosts amidst the rotting corpses, but it was strange that he didn't feel the malice that ghosts should have.

He looked at the corpse carefully again, and found that the limbs of the body were covered with spider silk.

Although it has been broken due to Inosuke's attack, it can also be seen that the scope of movement of this corpse is limited to the bushes, and just reaching out in front of Tanjiro is already the limit.

Generally speaking, this corpse is completely non-aggressive. Even if it is really hit, it will cause a corpse smell, and it will not endanger health.

Why does the ghost want to play such a prank?

Tanjiro couldn't help but wonder.

Inosuke poked the corpse with a knife, and said angrily, "He still doesn't stop when he's dead, and he came here to scare people."

Tanjiro quickly stopped and said, "Don't poke with a knife, respect the dead!"

Inosuke reluctantly put away the knife, and muttered, "If you die, you will end up turning into bones. There will be nothing left. There is nothing to respect."

Tanjiro shook his head helplessly.

Shanyi said from the side, "This place is too scary, let's leave quickly."

Scary?

An unrealistic idea suddenly appeared in Tanjiro's mind.

Is that ghost trying to scare people?Doesn't it expect someone to enter the mountain?
But the ones who scare away in this way are only some civilians. If they are encountered by the ghost hunting team, they will not only not be scared, but will be more vigilant.

This is tantamount to reminding mankind, why is this?

At this time, Shanyi trembled and said, "There is a sound in the west, it is a sound similar to rubbing fingers on the strings, but the strings seem to be very long, and the sound has been ringing for a long time."

"Since that's the case, I'll go and have a look for you, and kill that guy who played the strings! Pigs go ahead! Pigs go! Pigs go!"

After finishing speaking, Yizhi's assistant sprinted low with two knives, rushed out like a wild boar, and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Seeing this, Tanjiro looked at the lonely corpse, "I'm sorry, I will definitely bury you properly after I'm done!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly chased after him, "This guy, it will be a disaster if he meets the lower string!"

Shanyi stared blankly at the backs of the two people going away, and then looked at the corpse beside him, a gust of wind blew by, and he shuddered suddenly, crying and chasing after him,

"Wait for me, don't leave me alone, people will die!"

When the two caught up with Inosuke, Inosuke was standing in a clearing in the forest, looking up at the top of his head.

Tanjiro's nose twitched slightly. The soil here has a special musty smell, it is cold and damp, and it seems that sunlight is rarely seen.

Looking up, the trees are very tall, and the top of each tree cannot be seen. The crowns of the trees overlap and grow, and the sky has been completely covered, and it is pitch black.

If you want to look for the height of the canopy in the dark, you will have a terrifying feeling of looking into the abyss.

A dozen huge pale white spider cocoons hung from top to bottom on the tree, forming a stark contrast with the pitch-black forest.

And what Inosuke stared up at were the creepy-looking white spider cocoons.

Inosuke jumped up, jumped a few times between the trees and came to a spider cocoon, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, and the spider cocoon fell in response.

Immediately afterwards, Inosuke jumped up and slashed at the spider cocoon a few times in the air.

The spider's cocoon shattered, and a green sticky liquid flowed out, giving off a sickly sour smell.

Looking inside, there was a human skeleton with a miserable death inside.

Seeing this scene, Tanjiro couldn't help frowning.

If he was right, there was almost a human corpse in every spider cocoon above their heads.

It can be seen that those people were put into it alive, and they were still struggling before they died, until the last moment of their lives.

He clenched his fists, "Damn it, to use such a cruel method!"

Feeling Tanjirou's anger, Zenitsu also stopped shouting, calmed down and said, "It seems that this is the lair of evil spirits."

At this moment, the three of them heard the sound of someone rubbing the strings with their hands as described by Shanyi from above their heads at the same time.

The pitch of the voice gradually became higher, and the atmosphere became strange.

Suddenly the sound stopped.

The three of them looked at the top of their heads in unison. It was as dark as an abyss, and that was where the voice disappeared.

The three of them held their breath, not even daring to breathe, because they all knew that it was an evil spirit coming.
