Chapter 161: Ghosts that Eat Their Own Kin
Somewhere in Tengxi Mountain, in the darkness, a group of figures were shivering in the moonlight, as if they were afraid of something.
Each of these figures had sharp teeth and mouths. It was obvious that they were a group of man-eating evil ghosts. Although each of them was trembling, none of them moved, as if they were waiting for a terrible fate to come.
They are so evil, but they also have something to fear here. What exactly are they afraid of?
A creepy sound of chewing flesh came from the center of the ghost group, as if something terrible was happening. Were they watching people being eaten? This thought was terrifying.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the group of ghosts, as if something was about to rush out.
Then, a terrifying and disgusting giant arm emerged from the middle. This arm was covered with black blood vessels and sticky black blood. It looked like a devil's hand reaching out from the depths of hell.
It swung in the air and randomly grabbed a trembling ghost. The ghost screamed in fear, but was soon dragged into the middle of the ghost group by the giant arm.
Amid the ghost's screams, the giant arm suddenly retracted, and then another sound of chewing flesh was heard.
"Pah!" A piece of bone was spit out and fell to the ground.
"What a hassle, they are all a bunch of rubbish. If it weren't for avoiding the detection of the Demon Slayer Corps, I wouldn't have bothered to do all these things. Feng Xiaodao, are you ready to receive the gift I gave you?"
A ghost in the middle of the ghost group, whose expression was obviously different from the other ghosts, spoke viciously while eating the corpse of his companion.
There was a red light flashing in the ghost's eyes and a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
As he spoke, the ghosts around him became even more frightened. They wanted to escape from here, but the power coming from their blood prevented them from moving an inch.
Time passed slowly, the number of ghosts became smaller and smaller, and the aura of the red-eyed ghost in the middle was gradually becoming more terrifying.
Finally, when there were only a few trembling ghosts left, the red-eyed ghost stopped eating its own kind.
"My blood content is really pitifully low. This piece of junk has such a low upper limit that it's useless to absorb more blood."
The red-eyed ghost looked at his huge and ferocious arm and said slowly.
"But it's enough. As long as we hurry, it will be easy to kill the little ghosts before this body collapses."
Why is the red-eyed ghost so strange and has the peculiar behavior of cannibalizing its own kind? Because this red-eyed ghost is no longer the original red-eyed ghost.
His body has been remotely controlled by the supreme demon king Muzan.
Muzan didn't dare to take action against Feng Xiaodao himself, but facing Feng Xiaodao's crazy encirclement and ridicule over the past year, he was holding back a nameless anger in his heart.
The wrath of ghosts needs human blood to be washed away. If they can't deal with Feng Xiaodao, can't they attack the people Feng Xiaodao cares about?
Muzan has already heard the news from a ghost that many young men that Feng Xiaodao cares about will participate in this selection.
"If you kill these little ghosts, I wonder if you, Feng Xiaodao, will feel uncomfortable! Hahahaha." The light in the red-eyed ghost's eyes was as red as blood, and he was already imagining Feng Xiaodao's angry look.
"Start now and prepare to hunt. Feng Xiaodao, let's see who is faster, you or me!!"
After saying this, the red-eyed ghost disappeared into the darkness, and a tragedy seemed to be about to unfold.
The red-eyed ghost quickly shuttled through the darkness and quietly approached its first target - a young assessor. Although he was not its target, all humans deserved to die, so it suddenly became murderous.
The young man holding the knife looked around vigilantly. He had a feeling that an inexplicable danger was approaching, but the ghostly figure of the red-eyed ghost made him completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes glowing red appeared in front of him. The boy's heart was filled with alarm. This was not a ghost he could deal with. He had only felt that kind of oppressive aura from his teacher.
The boy immediately wanted to take out the emergency items he had received before taking the test, wanting to paralyze the demon in an instant and escape from here, even though this would make him lose the qualification to join the Demon Slayer Corps forever.
But the current situation is a matter of life and death, and I can't afford to think too much.
The boy held the potion, and before he could turn on the launch switch, those strange eyes seemed to have strange powers, making him relax. The boy seemed to have seen the most beautiful thing in his life.
"Child, let go of everything..." The red-eyed ghost's voice seemed to have magic, and the boy's hand gradually loosened, and the potion fell to the ground. Seeing this, the red-eyed ghost showed a triumphant smile, and slowly raised the claws in its hand and swung towards the boy's neck.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed.
Ding! ! A sharp sound of metal clashing pierced the night sky, like the scream of a night owl.
The red-eyed ghost slowly turned his head and looked at his arm that was hit, only to see a faint white mark left on it.
It raised its head and looked at the person who dared to attack it. The corners of its mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange smile.
"I didn't expect there would be someone who would meddle in other people's business. This is a good opportunity for me to have a good meal and sustain this body that is about to collapse!!"
The person who came was the staff member in charge of patrol. He looked at the red-eyed ghost opposite with a vigilant look on his face, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, and said in a low and serious voice: "Who are you? There is absolutely no way that there is a ghost as powerful as you in Teng Xishan!!"
The red-eyed ghost raised his head and laughed, his laughter was full of arrogance and disdain: "Hahahaha... I am the devil from hell, here to collect a little interest!!"
As soon as the voice fell, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed in its eyes, like a burning flame. The staff member instantly felt an invisible pressure surge into his heart, and his mind became confused.
Swoosh~~~Bang! ! A red firework instantly shot up into the sky and bloomed.
It turned out that at the critical moment, the staff member relied on his tenacious willpower to barely resist the confusion of the red-eyed ghost and successfully sent out a distress signal.
“Damn it!! Looks like we need to speed up.”
The red-eyed ghost cursed in a low voice, with a flash of anger in its eyes. It quickly attacked and easily tore the throats of the two men, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground red.
It sucked the blood greedily, as if it was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world, with a satisfied look on its face.
As the blood flowed in, it could feel its strength becoming increasingly solid and the signs of its body's collapse were slowing down.
Immediately afterwards, the red-eyed ghost quickly left this place and began to quickly search for its own target. Time was already very tight.
On the other side,
Tanjiro looked up at the sky not far from him. The fireworks were so eye-catching.
"Has anyone given up again? I wonder how Miss Kanao is doing now. She is so powerful, it must be easy for her. Tanjiro...you can't give up, you have to keep working hard!"
Tanjiro sighed for a while and then quickly cheered himself up, but then he became a little confused.
"But why is the color of this firework different from the previous ones? Is there any other meaning?"
