When the sand sculpture trial decides to make trouble

In Minan Linhua's eyes, this group of rushing ogres was no different from the retrograde army she usually faced on the battlefield of the sword men.

When fighting with the sword men in Honmaru, Minan Rinka will also participate in the battle.The strength of the ghosts attacking the mountain is even weaker than the ordinary retrograde army, and it cannot be compared with the inspection of non-violation envoys.

Although she is the only one who can use this method of trapping a group of ghosts, the men with swords can only rely on the body sword in their hands to slay the enemy, but with such a large number and strength of enemies, they can randomly gather a team of swords from her main pill Men are undoubtedly crushed.

Since Minan Rinka trapped these ghosts with spiritual power, Toyosaki Hideo and Minazuki Shima, who were standing by for orders, gathered together without knowing what to discuss, and then told Minan Rinka that they planned to use this time All the candidates who participated in the final selection and were still alive gathered together, and everyone worked together to clean up all the ghosts in this vine attacking mountain range.

"There has never been a final selection candidate who has done this kind of thing in the past." Hideo Toyosaki's face showed a clear look, "But I think we may be able to do it this time."

"Bringing everyone together can also reduce casualties as much as possible, and at the same time exercise the skills of actual combat cooperation." Minzuki Shima continued, "It's just that the next final selection may have to trouble the seniors of the Demon Slayer Team to catch some new recruits. The ghost is coming."

"It's okay for you to go like this?" Minan Linhua asked, "The ghosts we trapped are only a small part, and there are still many ghosts in this mountain."

"The five of us will be divided into two groups to protect each other's backs." Minzuki Shima replied, "No problem."

The silence lasted for a while, and someone stared at my wife Shanyi for a while, and said optimistically: "It's really not possible, we can still use the 'fist that makes you think it's a wisteria flower fist but actually cuts your head with a knife'."

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 550]

……

Minan Rinka looked at the ogre struggling in the cocoon of spiritual power for a while, then turned to look at my wife Shanyi who was squatting aside.

The blond young man looked like a curled up orange cat, hugging his knees, squatting next to Minan Rinka, carefully watching the ogre.

"Zhanyi." Minan Rinka thought for a while, and then said, "Did you just use 'the fist that made you think it was a wisteria flower fist but actually cut your head with a knife'?"

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 250]

"Yeah." My wife Shanyi nodded, "Killed a ghost..."

Minan Linhua was stunned: "You are pretty good. Shanyi, have you found that you are actually very skilled?"

My wife Shanyi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly stared at Minan Linhua vigilantly, shaking her head like a rattle: "Stop praising me! I will be easily deceived when a girl praises me... But I will never do that kind of temptation again." It's a damn thing."

"That's not what I meant." Minan Rinhua shook her head, "You have attracted enough ghosts tonight. You can rest now."

My wife Shanyi was overjoyed, and just about to speak, she heard Minan Linhua say again: "Let's continue tomorrow night."

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 250]

The blond young man was shocked: "Are you a devil?"

Minan Rinka counted the palpitation points obtained from my wife Zenitsu in the middle of the night, and found that he alone has tens of thousands of palpitation points, plus Hideo Toyosaki and his group of friends, and now trapped by her. The ghost in the zero-ability light cocoon has added more than 20 heart palpitations this night.

Fuji Attack Mountain is really a good place to earn heart palpitations, and my wife Shanyi is really a good person.Minan Rinka thought to herself, is there a way to make the increase in heart palpitations continue...

She was lost in thought when suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps at the entrance of the valley behind her.

"Hey——" My wife Shanyi was so frightened that she jumped behind the rock and shivered, but her movements were still very agile.

Minan Rinhua glanced back, and saw a young man with dark red hair and eyes, a scar on his forehead, and wearing flower earrings sliding down the slope of the valley.

Seeing that the young man was about to slip into the light cocoon of spiritual power, Minan Rinhua stood up, opened his hands when the other party passed by her side, and shouted hastily: "The hillside is slippery, there is a ghost down there, catch me!"

Tanjirou Kamado suddenly heard Minan Rinka's call while he was running, and caught a glimpse of her stretching out her hand towards him from the corner of his eye.

Minan Rinka was holding Tanjiro Kamado's hand and borrowing strength, lifted him by the collar and flung him into the air.

"Dangerous, be careful of falling!" She also called out at the same time.

The young man fell into the grass with a bewildered slap, froze as if he couldn't believe that someone would throw him and remind him to be careful when he fell...

[System prompt: Kamado Tanjiro's palpitation value is 200]

There was a soft rustle in the grass, and Tanjiro Kamado got up from the grass, looking at the scene in the light cocoon of spiritual power—the fine hairs on his back when he glanced at the forty or fifty ogres trapped in it. Standing up suddenly, the chill ran from the soles of the feet to the spine.

Although the ogre in the light cocoon moved slowly, it still moved to the edge of the light cocoon step by step.They stretched out their sharp ghost claws and exposed their snow-white sharp teeth, tearing at the edge of the light cocoon, trying to tear a way out of the light cocoon.

Forty or fifty ghosts crowded densely around the edge of the light cocoon, bumping into each other and stepping on each other's shoulders.This scene looked like a nightmare.

"Are you... going to trap them here until the daylight comes out?" Kamado Tanjiro murmured.

Minan Rinhua shook her head: "If I wanted to kill them, I would have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until daytime."

"That being the case..." He turned his head, and fixedly looked at Minan Rinhua with a pair of dark red eyes, "I have a question to ask these ghosts."

Minan Rinka watched Tanjirou Kamado approaching the psychic power Kococoon, asking in vain for a way to turn the ghost back into a human.But none of the trapped ghosts answered his question.They hissed, cursed, and frantically scratched the light cocoon with their claws, looking quite scary.

Seeing the slight hope ignited in the boy's eyes turned back to disappointment, Minan Rinka sighed softly.

"Don't ask any more." She stood up, walked to Kamado Tanjiro, and pointed to the twenty or so teenagers gathered at the entrance of the valley to participate in the final selection, "All the people who can be found have gathered... It's almost dawn, and I have to move these ghosts to a cave where the sun doesn't shine."

Kamado Tanjirou was silent for a moment, then took a step back dejectedly.

"What's the use of these ghosts?" He watched Minan Rinka control the spiritual power light cocoon and push it to the caves connected vertically and horizontally on the mountain wall, and finally couldn't help asking.

Minan Rinka turned her head and glanced at the examinees gathered at Taniguchi, who were looking at the group of ogres with various eyes.Among them, Toyosaki Hideo, Minazuki Shima and others who were looking for someone were explaining the ins and outs.

"...as a sandbag?" She thought for a while and replied.

Not long after dawn, Kamado Tanjiro understood the meaning of the phrase "be a sandbag".

When the sun was shining, the ghostly arrogance in the cave suddenly weakened.As for the gathered candidates, some of them were preparing to make beds for rest in the sun, while others were discussing going to the water source to fetch water, looking for wild game, edible wild fruits, and tubers in the forest to fill their stomachs.

The final assessment of the Fuji Attack Mountain will last for seven days.Although most people carried a small amount of dry food and drinking water with them, these alone could not last such a long time.So the final assessment test is not only the ability to kill ghosts, but also the ability to survive in the wild...

Minan Rinka watched a group of boys and girls chattering and discussing, raised her hand and grabbed my wife Shanyi who was staring at a girl in a daze.

My wife Shanyi looked confused: Why is it me again?

But he didn't know that the reason why Minan Rinka chose him was because he had a lot of heart palpitations every time, and it went up to [-] at every turn...

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 555]

"What's wrong?" the blond boy asked cautiously.

Minan Linhua walked towards the cave with his back collar in hand: "Anyway, you are idle, so why not come and learn some skills with ghosts."

My wife Shanyi: "!?"

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

"Discussion? What is the competition?" He repeated tremblingly as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Competition, just as the name suggests, is to let you cut up all the ghosts and rub them together." Minan Rinhua replied smoothly.

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

"No!" My wife Shanyi struggled desperately, "Impossible, I'm very weak... At that time, the ghost will cut me up, rub it, roll it up, and then chew and eat it..."

[System prompt: Kamado Tanjiro's palpitation value is 50]

[System prompt: Minazuki Shima...]

Minan Rinka dragged my wife Zenitsu, who was waving her hands and feet, to the edge of the cave.Looking at the pairs of blue-glowing eyes in the huge, cool cave, my wife Shanyi was so frightened that she completely collapsed on the ground, raised her hand to cover her eyelids tightly, and did not dare to look into the cave at all.

Seeing this, Minan Rinka sighed and placed him on the edge of the cave.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she turned and walked into the cave, and after a while, she dragged one of the ghosts to the edge of the cave.

"Hey, what are you doing..." The ghost was afraid of the sun, even though Minan Rinhua pinched the nape of fate's neck, he still struggled, "Let me go!"

Minan Rinka stood in front of my wife Shanyi holding her trembling ghost, trying her best to imitate Mineta Mino's tone: "Zanyi, open your eyes quickly, I will show you a big baby!"

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 666]

Under the urgent urging of Minan Rinhua, the blond young man had to move his finger away a little, revealing a slit.

Seeing my wife Zenitsu looking over, Minan Rinka pulled out the dagger Hakata Toshiro from her bosom without hesitation, and cut off the ghost's fangs and nails with a bang bang bang bang.

The boys and girls who looked at the cave were stunned: Someone would cut the ghost's teeth and nails?

[System prompt: Hakata Fujishiro's palpitation value is 500]

[System prompt: The value of ghost palpitations is 900]

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

[System prompt: Kamado Tanjiro's palpitation value is 250]

【system hint:……】

"I cut off his teeth and claws, so that he can't eat you." Minan Rinhua said, "Come to practice, it's a ready-made opportunity. Anyway, when you can't beat it, just stand under the sun." .”

After a long silence, my wife Shanyi tremblingly raised her hand and pointed at the ghost: "It has grown again..."

Minan Rinhua was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look, and saw that the devil's teeth and nails, which she had cut off just now, had grown back again...

She suddenly became unhappy, and hit the ghost's throat with Hakata Toshiro: "Who allowed you to grow your teeth again?"

ghost:? ? ?No, it is our instinct to repair body damage!

Minan Rinka tapped again with the short knife, knocking out the ghost's teeth again, and cutting the nails into round ovals...

This time, she stared at the ghost for a long time, but the ghost didn't dare to grow out its teeth and nails...

[System prompt: The value of ghost palpitations is 999]

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

【system hint:……】

Minan Linhua held the toothless ghost and talked softly and forcefully for a long time, and my wife Shanyi also remained paralyzed in the sun and couldn't get up.

He even had the idea of ​​confronting Minan Rinka like this, to see who would give up first.It stands to reason that Minan Rinka should give up first, because he only needs to lie in the sun, but Minan Rinka has been talking.But I didn't expect that Minan Rinka's voice was a little hoarse, but she didn't give up at all.

My wife Shanyi didn't know that when Minan Rinka saw the palpitations reported by the system, not only was she not discouraged, but she became more and more enthusiastic...

The menacing ogre who was originally aggressive is now desperate.

Just as Minan Rinka and my wife Shanyi were in a stalemate, a figure suddenly climbed up on the rock at the entrance of the cave.

When the shadow blocked my wife Zenitsu's head, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the same time, and saw Tanjirou Kamado looking down at my wife Zenitsu.

"I can't do this." The wheat-colored boy couldn't stand it anymore, squatted down next to my wife Shanyi, and stretched out his hand to him, "The reason why they have captured so many ghosts is to let us improve our skills during the day , so as to deal with the crisis at night. You can’t do this.”

My wife, Zenitsu, sniffed, hesitated for a moment, and held Tanjirou Kamado's hands full of calluses and scars, and sat up halfway.

"I can't." The blond youth shook his head, "What if the ghost suddenly grows teeth and nails during the battle and kills me..."

[System prompt: Toothless Ghost's palpitation value is 999]

Minan Linhua was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the Toothless Ghost.The Toothless Ghost turned his head guiltily.

Minan Rinka: How the hell do you really plan to do that! ?

"But if you can survive these seven days, you will also join the ghost killing team and face ghosts with teeth and nails." Tanjirou Kamado persuasively said, "Wouldn't you be more dangerous if you don't have experience? ?"

My wife Shan Yi flinched.He hesitated for a while, then asked, "What's your name?"

"Kaodo Tanjiro." The boy replied, "I joined the Demon Slayer Squad to avenge my family members who were killed by demons, and at the same time to cure my sister."

"Then, Tanjiro." My wife Zenitsu pointed at the Toothless Ghost, "You go first, and I will go."

Kamado Tanjiro was a little surprised: "Really? That's good. Compared with the hand ghosts I killed at night, this kind of ghosts are still easy to deal with."

[System prompt: Toothless Ghost's palpitation value is 999]

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

"Wait a minute!" the Toothless Ghost uttered a muffled voice, his teeth-lost mouth leaking slightly, "You killed the Hand Ghost? Over the years, it has been the most powerful ghost in this vine attacking mountain!"

Kamado Tanjiro was startled, and turned around quickly—this was the first time that a ghost was willing to communicate with him normally.

"Hey, I want to ask you a question." He didn't mention the hand ghost anymore, but asked eagerly, "Do you know how to turn a ghost back into a human?"

"Return to human?" Toothless Ghost sneered, just about to mock, Minan Linhua raised his hand and slapped him on the head.

"What are you laughing at? Can't you speak well?"

[System prompt: Toothless Ghost's palpitation value is 555]

Under Minan Rinka's coercion, the Toothless Ghost had no choice but to answer honestly: "Impossible. Once you become a ghost, you can never turn back into a human being again... At least us ordinary ghosts can't know A way to turn back into a human."

The young man was stunned, and after a while he squeezed out a few words: "Is that so..."

Looking at the pale-faced Katomon Tanjirou, Minan Rinka was silent for a moment, and then said, "They have been locked up in this Fujishi mountain for a long time, and there is no information at all. You can't trust him."

She pointed at the Toothless Ghost: "This ghost is obviously mentally retarded, you didn't see him suddenly giggle when he was talking normally."

[System prompt: Toothless Ghost's palpitation value is 233]

Minan Rinka felt a little regretful - even her system exchange list did not have such an item that could turn a ghost into a human.

Kamado Tanjirou was stunned.Huge disappointment and a little hope rushed into his heart at the same time.

Even if the ghost says no, will he stop looking for a way to turn his sister Nezuko back into a human?

Obviously not.

In this case, it is necessary to ask the ghosts you meet, but you don't need to be affected when your ideas are denied.

Just do what you should do.

"I understand." Kamado Tanjiro put his palm on the handle, and slowly pulled out the Hikari sword that Ryodaki Sakon gave him, "Let me do it."

Minan Linhua was stunned, and let go of the hand that was holding the toothless ghost——in addition to taking the opportunity to earn palpitation points from my wife Shanyi, she saved them for the candidates who participated in the final selection to get caught during the day. The meaning of ghost training hands.

Boys and girls like Hideo Toyosaki and Shima Minazuki are willing to enter this mountain, which shows that they already have the courage to fight ghosts.

Their sword skills have been proficient to a certain extent, but they lack the experience of fighting ghosts, so it is easy to lose their lives in vain under the condition of sufficient ability.Seven days of actual combat training with ghosts in this way can just make up for their lack of experience.

Anyway, with her watching, nothing could go wrong.

But now, Minan Rinka faintly felt that the young man named Kamado Tanjiro in front of him would definitely be capable of killing ghosts even without her actual combat training.

But even so, Kamado Tanjiro still didn't miss any chance to become stronger.He ran forward desperately as if he was eagerly chasing something.

Kamado Tanjirou took a step towards the huge cave.Just as one leg entered the shadows, he stopped suddenly.

"By the way, thank you. Without your ability, these ghosts would not be trapped here for everyone to practice." The boy turned his head and smiled softly at Minan Rinhua, "I haven't asked your name yet. .”

"My name is Minan Rinka." Minan Rinka replied.

Kamado Tanjirou nodded with a smile, and was about to walk into the cave when my wife Zenitsu, who was limp on the ground, suddenly spoke in a daze.

"Hey, isn't your name Tsuru Liu Gong Liu Huo?" He asked with a confused face.

Minan Rinka: "Ah, I slipped my tongue..."

Kamado Tanjiro: "???"

[System prompt: Kamado Tanjiro's palpitation value is 500]

Kamado Tanjirou opened his eyes wide, wanting to say something else.But at this moment, his movements suddenly stopped.

What suddenly rushed over was a strong, ghostly aura.

The Toothless Ghost, who was released by Minan Rinka just now, suddenly found the gap, and under the cover of the stalactites in the cave, he suddenly rushed towards Tanjirou!

He knew that he and other ghosts were trapped in this cave, and he couldn't step out of the cave during the day.And at night, Minan Rinka might set up that kind of light cocoon at the entrance of the cave, making it impossible for them to leave.So now, it is his only chance to try his best to eat this boy immediately, and then become stronger and escape!

Seeing Tanjiro Kamado dazed because of Minan Rinka's name, the Toothless Ghost suddenly grew sharper teeth and claws than before, and went straight to the boy's head with a slight wind sound!

And at this moment, Kamado Tanjirou suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity.He opened his mouth and inhaled the cloudy air.

Minan Rinka's gaze landed between Kamado Tanjiro's mouth and nose - this was the first time she had observed the breathing of the Demon Slayer Squad in such detail.

"Breath of Water·One Shape——" The sun wheel knife slashed cleanly, with ukiyo-e-like water patterns faintly in the light of the knife, and the sound of waves beating in the air, "Water surface cut hit!"

In the blink of an eye, the ghost flying in the air was cut off by him with a single blow, and the corpse turned into black mist and disappeared before it fell to the ground.

Kamado Tanjiro straightened up again, put the knife back in its sheath, walked out of the cave again in silence, and stood beside my wife Zenitsu.

"Look, you can do it too!" he encouraged.

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 999]

"I..." He was still hesitating, and someone among the boys and girls below the cliff who had been paying attention to the situation here spoke.

"I also want to practice in combat!" Someone shouted towards the cliff.

"Me too! Please let us join in!"

Minan Linhua was stunned, and nodded: "Okay, originally these ghosts were used for actual combat training. We have more than 20 people in total, and there are forty or fifty ghosts here. On average, each person can share Five to two ghosts at one o'clock..."

Everyone was taken aback: What the hell is [-] ghosts?Can you still cut a ghost in half and distribute it to two people?

No... think about it carefully, it is really possible...

[System prompt: Hideo Toyosaki's heart palpitations...]

"If you don't think there are enough ghosts, you can cut them with a normal knife instead of killing them. They will be reused after they grow back." Minan Rinhua explained, "Alright, there are no tasks of collecting food or making beds for the time being. People can line up to get their own ghosts."

Everyone was stunned again: How can this be said to be the same as cooking in a cafeteria...

【system hint:……】

"I'll be on the sidelines so no one gets hurt. But it might be a little slow to have one person at a time doing actual combat training."

Rinka Minan was hesitating, and Tanjirou Kamado volunteered: "I'll help supervise too. Be more diligent, and in the future... people like my family members who are killed by ogres... will be more... a little less……"

Minan Rinka nodded: "Then divide into two teams."

After the words fell, both of them subconsciously looked at my wife Shanyi at the same time.

My wife Shanyi: "Okay, okay, I know! I also train! Let's go!"

[System prompt: My wife Shanyi's palpitation value is 333]

The black crow hovering over Fujishiki Mountain for a long time spread its wings and flew towards the huge Japanese garden of Ubuyashiki's house, and finally landed on the flower branch with flapping wings before sunset.

The black-haired man sitting on the porch looking at the flowers and branches with fascination raised his head, revealing a face with a large number of scars.It's just that the man's eyes are soft and his expression is as calm as water.

He raised his hand, and let the crow, which was delivering the letter for the Ghost Slayer Squad, fly to his arm, and asked softly, "How is the situation of Teng Shi Shan?"

"Ga—a total of 30 candidates participated in the final selection, and now 27 survived—" Crow crowed loudly, "Ga—"

"Oh?" The man was slightly surprised, "There are many more survivors after the first night than in previous years..."

"Most of them are now gathering together, trapping dozens of ogres in the mountain in the rattan attack as sandbags and beating them fiercely—ga——"

The calm expression on the man's face couldn't hold back anymore, and he showed a look of astonishment: Are the candidates this year so fierce?
