Horitake told the siblings about the situation of the burrowing ghost and its dangers.

The two children could no longer maintain their calm expressions. After hearing such a terrible situation, they inevitably panicked.

At this time, the difference between the siblings was revealed.

The elder sister, Hinami, was a little flustered:

"What should we do? Teriya, there is such a ghost in Fujiki Mountain, should we stop the final selection?"

The younger brother, Teriya, showed a calmness and determination that was not in line with his age.

Although the little guy was also panicked, he quickly calmed down and made a quick judgment:

"No, we can't stop the final selection. There is only one night left. Stopping at this time would be irresponsible to everyone and might also alarm this escaping ghost."

"How do we deal with this underground ghost? He hides underground, we can't find him, and we can't deal with him."

"We must report the situation here to the lord, and ask the lord to send a pillar-level swordsman to Fuji Mountain. I'm afraid only the pillar can deal with this kind of ghost."

""Okay, I'll pass the message right away!"

Ubuyashiki Hinami quickly told Yuya to go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to pass the message.

On the side, Horitake watched this scene and nodded secretly in his heart.

As expected of a child of the Ubuyashiki clan, he is different from ordinary children.

Especially the little guy Ubuyashiki Teriya, who is obviously very young, but very wise and decisive. He is worthy of being the one who can lead the Demon Slayer Corps and command the decisive battle in the entire Infinite City in the future.

It is really reassuring to have such a young master.

Horitake admired Ubuyashiki Teriya very much, and Mitsuri next to him admired him even more.

So handsome! So cute!

Although the young master is young, But he is so capable!

Hmm... I also want to have such a sensible brother, or, to have such a child in the future.

Also, the young master is even cuter now that he is dressed like a girl.

The young master looks so cute in a kimono, the lord must have been like this when he was a child...

Ah! No! My thoughts are crooked! Become normal soon, Mitsuri Kanroji!

Mitsuri, whose thoughts were crooked again, could not help but blush again. She turned around, buried her head on the pillar of the torii, and began to reflect on herself.

Ubuyashiki Teriya had no idea what this older sister was thinking, and asked Horitake curiously:

"Is this sister okay?"

"Her? It's okay, just let her calm down for a while."

On the other side, Ubuyashiki Hinai came back:

"I have already released the crows, and the lord will receive the news soon. It is estimated that a pillar-level swordsman will arrive as early as tomorrow morning. Before that, please be careful and guard against it."

Hori Yue smiled heartily:

"Be careful and guard against it? No, on the contrary, I want to take the initiative to attack!"

As he said this, Horitake drew out his Sun Blade, eager to try:

"My eyes and my breathing method are the natural enemy of the burrowing ghost. In order to eat people, the burrowing ghost will probably not leave Fujiki Mountain tonight.

Tonight, I plan to search Fujiki Mountain on a large scale, find the burrowing ghost, and kill him!"The

Ubuyashiki siblings looked at each other. Horitake called Mitsuri over there:

"Mi Li, I'm planning to catch a burrowing ghost tonight, do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

"Then let's go! Target, the burrowing ghost!"

The two rushed into Fujiki Mountain again, one after the other, stepping on the branches and moving quickly, with a murderous look.

A few hours later, Horitake and Mitsuri had already searched most of Fujiki Mountain, but unfortunately there was no trace of the burrowing ghost.

The two landed on a thick branch, and Horitake looked around, a little distressed:

"I thought the underground ghost would come out at night, but I didn't expect it to be hiding underground. This is the first time I've seen such a hidden ghost."

Mitsuri asked:

""Master Horitake, don't you have psychic vision? Why don't you always use it to search?"

After spending some time together, Mitsuri also knew the special ability of Horitake's eyes.

Horitake was very upset when he heard this:

"Please, although the psychic vision is useful, it cannot be turned on all the time. It consumes too much energy. If I turn on the psychic vision for several hours in a row, I will feel dizzy and unable to wake up."

"Oh, that's it."

Sitting on the branch, Hori Gaku crossed his arms and thought quickly:

This ghost is too evasive. How can we deal with him if he doesn't come out?

What should we do?

The only way Hori Gaku could think of was to use bait to set a trap and lure out the burrowing ghost!

Who should be the bait?

Hori Gaku looked at Mitsuri Kanroji next to him.

No, no, Hori Gaku would not allow this girl to be in danger, not only because this girl was his mission target, but also because this girl was quite to Hori Gaku's liking.

Without bait, how could we lure out the burrowing ghost?

We could only use a stupid method and continue the large-scale search.

Helplessly, after a short rest, Horitake and Mitsuri conducted another large-scale search.

A few hours later, the two searched Fujikiyama again.

They didn't find the underground ghost, but they did encounter the hand ghost!

The skin was green and fat, with countless arms waving on his body, and two hard arms were wrapped around his neck to protect him.

It was this hand ghost that killed Santo and Makoto!

When Horitake and Mitsuri encountered the hand ghost, the hand ghost was chasing another passerby swordsman. The passerby was scared and fled in panic:

"How could this happen? It's too much for a demon of this level to appear in the final selection! ?"

Behind, the hand demon stretched out its two hands and grabbed the passerby swordsman!

Mitsuri rushed out, drew out the Sun Wheel Sword, cut off the hand demon's two arms with one sword, protected the passerby swordsman behind, and confronted the hand demon heroically. The hand demon quickly healed and grew two arms again in an instant. Looking at Mitsuri who suddenly appeared, he smiled and said in a disgusting tone:

"Hehehe, here comes another one, and she's a cute little girl. She must be delicious, right?"

Mitsuri said nothing and started fighting with the hand ghost.

For a moment, countless arms and swords intertwined, constantly colliding and interweaving, and the battle was a bit stalemate.

Horitake, who was on the tree next to him, was not worried at all.

Although the hand ghost was disgusting, he was no match for Mitsuri.

What he was considering was whether to let the hand ghost go? Wait until two years later, let Tanjiro deal with him personally, and then it would be considered a perfect deed and the material would be put to good use.

Eh, no! This idea is wrong!

Horitake reacted, hit himself on the head, and reflected on himself:

Why should I let the hand ghost go? How many people has the hand ghost harmed over the years? If he continues to indulge, how many more people will he harm!?

We can't indulge this scourge just to let Tanjiro complete his mission!

Horitake drew his sword and stood up:

""Thunder Breathing·First Form·Twenty-four Thunderbolt Flashes!"

Arcs flashed, lightning bolts surged, and Horitake suddenly appeared. His attack was so fierce that the hand ghost could not resist it at all.

In an instant, the layers of arms on the hand ghost were all cut off, and blood gushed into the air!

Looking at the figure flashing with lightning in the air, the hand ghost was terrified:

How is it possible!? How could such a terrible person appear in this final selection!?

No! I have to run!

It's too late!

Horitake stepped forward and slashed fiercely again, and the hand ghost was beheaded on the spot!

The fat ghost collapsed on the ground and began to gradually dissipate.

The hand ghost's head was still roaring unwillingly, but it was a pity that it could not change his ending.

Who knew that at this time, Horitake's spiritual vision was activated, and he actually saw the revolving lantern of the hand ghost before his death through spiritual vision!

Horitake did not expect that a new task would appear in the system immediately!
