The walking dragon son

In the evening, Ciel and his party sat around the fire to discuss their next move.

"I asked about it, and there are caveless bears here, and they have eaten several hunters! But I went to the scene, and there was no smell of beasts. It seems that the ones eating people are not bears but evil spirits."

Ciel revealed the information he had gathered.

The so-called caveless bears are local hunters’ term for bears that have failed to find a hibernation cave.

The bear will need more food to survive the cold winter, and hunting in the winter will be particularly difficult. Therefore, this kind of bear will violate the norm and actively attack humans and even enter human villages to hunt.

But Charles checked the attack scene and found that the paw prints did not belong to bears, and the scene smelled of evil spirits.

Yae, the girl who witnessed the Caveless Bear attacking the hunter, was even more eloquent, and it seemed that her family members were the ones who turned into evil spirits.

However, the girl didn't seem to want to protect the ghost. She had been carrying a shotgun and seemed to want to end it herself.

No matter how worthy of recognition the killing of relatives is, it is definitely a tragedy for the parties involved. So Ciel thoughtfully decided to deal with the evil spirit first.

The next day, Ciel and Tanjiro entered the vast mountains. Of course, Ciel also used this opportunity to train Tanjiro's other abilities.

"Listen up, Tanjiro, your sense of smell is extremely sensitive. This is a talent given by God, and it is also an advantage you can rely on."

Tanjiro nodded and began to try to distinguish the smells around him.

Ciel knew that Tanjiro could later even do such exaggerated things as sniffing out the enemy's emotions and even the thread of vulnerability.

In the sword-forging village chapter of the original plot, Tanjiro felt like his soul was out of his body when he went through the special training of True Hell and saw the Santo River.

But when he was about to die, he actually smelled the target and movements of his opponent's attack. This has to remind people of the conditions for achieving a transparent world.

Perhaps Tanjiro later entered the Supreme Realm as an opportunity.

Ciel began to consider imitating that method to help Tanjiro master that ability early. But of course not right away, at least Tanjiro needs to have a certain foundation.

But even so, Tanjiro, who was trying to distinguish the smell, felt cold all over, and looked at Ciel who was looking at him in horror.

Ciel slapped Tanjiro on the head and said, "Pay attention, ghosts may appear at any time."

Tanjiro scratched his hair and had no choice but to suppress the ominous premonition and concentrate on looking for traces of the ghost.

Soon, Tanjiro followed the smell of blood and discovered a pool of blood, along with a broken calf and pieces of clothing.

The blood stains have not disappeared in this weather, which means that the ghost ate a person here not long ago.

Judging from the broken shotgun on one side, this should be a hunter who wants to hunt a caveless bear. Unfortunately, his opponent is not a beast but something more terrifying.

With a crash, a ball of snow fell from the branch. Tanjiro subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist and blocked it upward.

But the force of what jumped out of the tree was too strong, and it directly knocked Tanjiro down to the snow.

The evil spirit pressing on him reminded Tanjiro of the crazy Nezuko, but this evil spirit that had already eaten people was obviously much more ferocious.

With horns on his forehead, protruding canines, deformed muscles on his face, and blood stains on the corners of his mouth, he really made Tanjiro feel what an evil spirit looks like.

The demon roared from his drooling mouth, and the evil spirit was about to bite Tanjiro.

Tanjiro held the handle of the knife with one hand and pushed the back of the knife with the other hand to block the evil spirit's sharp claws. The fishy smell made his mind go blank.

Instinctively, Tanjiro chose the attack method that impressed him most, and he slammed into it.

Inheriting his mother's hard head that could knock out even a wild boar, Tanjiro knocked the evil spirit's head upwards.

Looking at his white eyes, he looked stunned.

But Tanjiro calmed down, raised his foot and kicked the evil spirit on top of him over.

Tanjiro then quickly got up, holding knives in both hands and looking at the evil spirit warily.

The evil spirit also shook its head and stood up, confronting Tanjiro.

Ciel nodded aside. To be honest, Tanjiro's performance was not very good. Not only did he fail to detect the evil spirit early, he also failed to stay calm after being attacked.

But don't forget that this is Tanjiro's first battle, and it's not easy to behave like this.

The confrontation lasted only a few seconds before Tanjiro and the Oni charged at each other almost simultaneously.

"Kagura, the God of Fire, Chakram Kagero!"

The long sword held by Tanjiro burned with flames, and the blade wrapped in flames slashed straight at the evil spirit.

This evil ghost had obviously just been transformed. Not only did it not master the vampire technique, but it also retained a lot of human instincts in its body.

So when facing Tanjiro's slash, he did not continue to move forward, but took a step back.

But he didn't know that Feilun Yangyan's move was to create the illusion of the blade becoming shorter through the subtle swaying of the blade tip.

Therefore, it was not enough for the evil spirit to withdraw. Tanjiro still cut off the evil spirit's wrist that was grabbing at him with this knife.

After one strike of the sword, Tanjiro stepped forward and stabbed him with the sword in both hands.

"Kagura, the God of Fire, Yokato!"

A ring of flames spread out, and Tanjiro's blade penetrated directly through the evil spirit's chest.

Just when Tanjiro was about to twist his wrist and cut open the evil spirit's body, the flame on his blade went out.

Tanjiro suddenly opened his mouth and his face turned red, which was the physical reaction of suffocation.

After only two moves, Sun Breath overwhelmed Tanjiro. This was his limit now.

The evil ghost was hit twice in a row and was really shocked. But then he saw Tanjiro's face full of pain, looking like he couldn't move.

Just as he reached out to grab Tanjiro, Ciel moved and kicked him away.

Sighing, Ciel slapped Tanjiro on the abdomen. Tanjiro was able to regain his ability to breathe.

Panting heavily, Tanjiro said with a look of shame on his face: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Mr. Charles again!"

Charles sighed and said: "Why use Yang Hua Tu? If you had used Round Dance, you should have killed him!"

You must have remembered that evil spirits can only be killed by cutting off their heads, right? "

There are very few stabbing techniques among the sword styles of the Breathing Technique, because the stabbing damage to evil spirits is minimal. The few stabbing skills are not used to kill evil spirits.

For example, Shizuku's wave thrust in Breath of Water is the fastest, so it has always been used to gain combat advantage.

The Yang Hua Tu type in Breath of the Sun is intended to pierce Wu Mei's heart, but it has no effect on ordinary ghosts.

As for the insect breath of the butterfly ninja, it is a special sword shape formed out of complete helplessness, and it also needs to be combined with wisteria flower toxin to be lethal to ghosts.

Ciel understands Tanjiro's behavior. He has not yet made up his mind to kill the evil spirit.

Even if the other person is a ghost, the decision to deprive him of his life is not so easy to make.

Ciel didn't want to blame Tanjiro for this. After all, cherishing life is never wrong. It wouldn't be like Tanjiro if he didn't hesitate.

But what Ciel wants Tanjiro to understand is that in addition to cherishing the life of the other person, he should also cherish the life of the victim... and his own life.

In other words, when fighting, focus on one thing, and that is the evil ghost...kill it!
