I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. What kind of ghost will we encounter next?"

With this in mind, Ji Lin slowly walked deeper into the forest.

.................................................

Over somewhere in an open area on Mount Natagumo...

Lower Moon Five [Rei] was playing cat's cradle in the center of the open space when suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped what he was doing and said:

"[Mom] is dead."

The several figures hidden in the shadows around them were also stunned for a moment, and then Lei spoke:

"Dad, find the person who killed Mom, and then kill him..."

"Awooooooo—!!"

Upon hearing Lei's words, a tall figure roared and charged towards the spider demon mother. Lei then looked at the two demons standing nearby and said:

"You all should go too, and get ready."

Upon hearing Lei's words, the other two ghosts were also stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded to indicate that they understood, and then disappeared from Lei's sight.

After seeing the others leave, Lei turned his attention back to the cat's cradle in his hand.

.............................................

Meanwhile, Ji Lin was still searching for traces of those ghosts. However, it was more like he was just wandering around aimlessly.

"Cuckoo!"

Just then, an owl flew down from the sky. Ji Lin saw the owl land and reached out to give it a place to land.

The owl landed on Ji Lin's arm and cooed something to him. Hearing the owl's words, Ji Lin stroked its feathers and said to it:

How's the search going?

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, the owl hooted a few times. Hearing the owl's hooting, Ji Lin nodded and said:

"Yes, I know, thank you."

As he spoke, Ji Lin took out several strips of chicken breast from the dimensional cave and gave them to the owl. After the owl took the chicken breast from Ji Lin, it flapped its wings and flew away. After watching the owl fly away, Ji Lin showed a regretful expression and said:

"Hmm, as expected, there are no ghosts around here..."

"But that owl felt really nice to touch."

To be honest, Ji Lin was thinking about raising a bird, but he was worried that the bird might be eaten by Yuhaka. Thinking about this, Ji Lin smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, let's go find those ghosts first..."

As he spoke, Ji Lin headed in the direction the owl had indicated. The owl had said that strange things were active in that area, and Ji Lin decided to go and take a look.

Not long after Ji Lin left, he sensed an aura rushing towards him. Following the direction of the aura, Ji Lin saw a ghost with a spider's head charging towards him. Upon seeing the ghost, Ji Lin knew who it was.

The spider demon father under Lower Moon Five...

To be honest, a ghost that relies primarily on physical strength is no match for Ji Lin. Just as the spider ghost father was about to throw a punch at Ji Lin, Ji Lin drew his sword and chopped off the spider ghost father's head.

After watching his father's headless spider-headed body turn to ashes, Ji Lin said nothing. Unfortunately, Ji Lin had nothing to say about this spider-headed creature, since he could tell from the story that this spider-headed ghost was a ghost without self-awareness.

It's practically impossible to get all the other ghosts out of him.

With a slight sigh, Ji Lin continued his search for the demon on Mount Natagumo.

Chapter 461 [The Spider Demon Sister's Little Secrets]

After defeating the Spider Demon father, Ji Lin continued his search for the demons of Mount Natagumo. After Ji Lin destroyed the Spider Demon father, Lower Moon Go Rui of Mount Natagumo also received news of the Spider Demon father's death.

Rei, clearly sensing his father's death, frowned and said:

"Useless! One or two of them can't even stop one person..."

Lei put down the spider silk that resembled a cat's cradle, looked at the distance with a bad expression, and said:

"I hope you won't let me down..."

As he spoke, Lei walked into the shadows of the forest and disappeared into the moonlit clearing.

(Isn't moonlight just reflected sunlight? Why can't it scorch ghosts?)

...................................................

In a forest somewhere in Natagumo Mountain, the Spider Demon sister and brother, who were on their way to their Spider Demon father's place, also sensed that their father's presence had disappeared. However, the Spider Demon brother felt that this was not unexpected, since their Spider Demon father was just a simple-minded and physically strong being, and it wouldn't be too difficult for him to be killed by the Demon Slayer Corps.

Meanwhile, the Spider Demon sister was extremely vigilant. Although her Spider Demon father was a simple-minded, physically strong guy, the Spider Demon sister knew very well how many Demon Slayers had died at his hands. It seemed that the Demon Slayer Corps that killed her Spider Demon father was definitely not simple...

Should we run away?

To be honest, Spider Demon Sister was starting to have second thoughts. She knew very well how strong Spider Demon Mom and Spider Demon Dad were; any Demon Slayer Corps member capable of taking them down must be extraordinary. Could it be that a Demon Slayer Pillar had come to Natagumo Mountain?

Thinking of these spider demons reminded her of the information about how strong the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps were; Lower Rank demons basically couldn't win against Pillars.

However, if he wants to escape, he must kill Lei. Otherwise, with Lei's blood flowing in his veins, it won't be long before Lei finds him. Lei will never show mercy to traitors, and if his escape is discovered, Lei will definitely kill him.

However, thinking of the Demon Slayer Corps member, the Spider Demon immediately thought of luring him to Rui's side. But if she did that, Rui would definitely find out, and if the Demon Slayer Corps member couldn't defeat Rui, she would be the next one to die.

"What are you doing, taking your time?"

Hearing her brother's words, the sister spider ghost snapped out of her thoughts. Looking at her brother's disgusted expression, she frowned slightly and said:

"I'm just thinking about how to deal with that Demon Slayer Corps member..."

The Spider Demon Brother looked puzzled upon hearing the Spider Demon Sister's words. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at the Spider Demon Sister with a sinister smile and said:

"Deal with the Demon Slayer Corps? Heh heh heh, let's see how you plan to escape."

The spider demon sister, having been exposed, didn't say anything on the surface, but she already harbored murderous intent. Unfortunately, her Blood Demon Art was useless against the spider demon brother. Although her Blood Demon Art, "Dissolving Cocoon," had good resilience, and the Nichirin Blades of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members couldn't cut through her threads, the spider demon brother's Blood Demon Art could corrode her Dissolving Cocoon. Even if his Blood Demon Art couldn't corrode it, she still couldn't do anything to the spider demon brother.

After all, her dissolving cocoon couldn't dissolve a demon with an extremely fast regeneration rate.

"Hmph, you should be more worried about what to do when you run into the Demon Slayer Corps. This time, the Demon Slayer Corps members are not simple."

Upon hearing Spider Demon Sister's words, Spider Demon Brother smiled with a clearly disdainful expression and said:

"Hehehe, you think I'm helpless? Once someone's poisoned, whether they're a pillar or whatever, they'll all become my subordinates..."

Spider Demon Sister looked disdainful at Spider Demon Brother's words, knowing his character and that it would be perfectly normal for him to die at the hands of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Her task was to figure out how to survive against that Demon Slayer Corps member.

.................................................. ..

"Ok?"

Suddenly smelling something, Ji Lin sniffed his little nose, then immediately covered it and said:

"Ugh...what is that smell? It stinks!"

Just now, Ji Lin suddenly smelled a foul stench, which he detected as the scents of poison and ghosts. Ji Lin immediately realized that he had found the territory of that spider ghost brother.

"This smell is awful, let's get rid of it..."

As he spoke, Ji Lin activated the Steel Dragon Factor within his body. As the Steel Dragon Factor became active, a repulsive wind barrier appeared around Ji Lin.

After using the Wind Barrier, Ji Lin was finally free from the stench. Relieved, Ji Lin turned his gaze to the open space not far away, where a house was floating in mid-air. No, it was more like it was suspended by spider silk.

Around him, Ji Lin could see many spiders, as well as some spiders with human heads. These spiders were actually humans in disguise, the reason being the spider demon brother's poison.

Those humans who turned into spider heads were poisoned by the Spider Demon Brother and became spider heads. Although they had self-awareness, they were controlled by the Spider Demon Brother.

Ji Lin felt a chill as he looked at the spider heads that were trying to pounce on him. If those spider heads could turn back, Ji Lin would have burned them to ashes with a torch long ago. With a sigh, Ji Lin decided to quickly deal with the Spider Demon and remove the poison from those spider heads.

Zelus said that the Poisoning Horn and Hunting Horn in Monster Hunter World can also cure the poison of those human-headed spiders. According to Zelus, the specific principle is something like "rules"?

Chapter 462 [Instantly Collapsed]

Spider-Ghost Brother is dead.

Hmm? Are you thinking of saying you missed reading a chapter? Well, the answer is simple: Ji Lin was disgusted when he saw the Spider Demon Brother. After all, a giant spider with a human head is not only disgusting to look at, smell, and speak, but also disgusting to speak.

Disgusted, Ji Lin immediately transformed the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand into a hunter's bow and shot the spider brother to death with an arrow.

After instantly killing the Spider Demon Brother, the surrounding spider heads were no longer under his control. Seeing that the spider heads were no longer under his control, Ji Lin summoned all the spider heads around and used the hunting flute transformed from the Xuanyuan Sword to help them remove the toxins from their bodies.

After detoxifying the spider heads, Ji Lin spoke to them:

"Alright, the poison in your bodies has been neutralized. After a period of rest, you should be able to return to normal."

After hearing Ji Lin's words, those who had been poisoned by the Spider Demon and turned into human-headed spiders expressed their gratitude to Ji Lin. Ji Lin then told them that someone would come to help them later and that they should just wait where they were. Hearing Ji Lin's words, the human-headed spiders looked at each other in confusion, but since Ji Lin had helped them, they believed him and stayed where they were.

Seeing the spider-headed creatures remain in place, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, looking up at the moon in the sky, he said:

"Hmm... I wonder how long it will take for Shinobu and the others to get here..."

Then Ji Lin shook his head and said:

"Forget it, let's go take care of Lower Moon Five first."

With that, Ji Lin headed towards the location of Lower Moon Five. Could it be that he had forgotten something?

..............................................

Somewhere on Mount Natagumo, the Spider Demon Sister is on her way.

Not long ago, the Spider Demon Sister secretly hid near the Spider Demon Brother, with two purposes: first, to provide support by hiding near the Spider Demon Brother's position, and second, to observe how strong the Demon Slayer Corps that attacked them was.

If he's strong, Spider Demon Sister will consider supporting Spider Demon Brother; if he's not strong, then they'll both come at him.

However... if that Demon Slayer Corps member is too strong... the Spider Demon Sister thinks it's best to persuade Rui to run away.

Unfortunately, after seeing Ji Lin, the Spider Demon Sister's mind went blank. She witnessed Ji Lin suddenly transform the golden sword in his hand into a giant longbow. Then, under her gaze, she saw Ji Lin draw the bowstring, and hurricane-like and sun-like light swirled around the arrow. As Ji Lin released the bowstring, the arrow struck the Spider Demon Brother on the web like a shooting star. Instantly, the Spider Demon Brother turned to ashes and disappeared from the world, just as if he had been hit by the sun.

Upon seeing this, the Spider Demon was so frightened that she immediately ran away. In her eyes, Ji Lin was like a monster, even more terrifying than the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"We absolutely must escape!"

The Spider Demon Sister no longer dared to face Ji Lin. Although she didn't know if Ji Lin was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Spider Demon Sister knew very well that the little girl had the ability to kill a demon with a single blow. Moreover, a demon's head wouldn't turn to ashes quickly after being cut off by a Nichirin Blade. However, the Spider Demon Sister saw that the Spider Demon Brother who was killed had basically turned to ashes instantly, as if he could be exposed to the sun.

However, just as the Spider Demon was running away, a figure jumped down from the tree. Because she was terrified by Ji Lin, the Spider Demon did not notice a figure above her.

A tremendous force struck the Spider Demon Sister on the back, slamming her to the ground. The sudden attack startled the Spider Demon Sister, who was pinned to the ground. She thought it was Ji Lin, who had killed the Spider Demon Brother, catching up with her, and she let out a miserable scream.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The sight of Shinobu Kocho, who was lying on the back of the Spider Demon, nearly startled her. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Shinobu was about to rape her.

When Spider Demon Sister turned around to beg Ji Lin for mercy, she discovered that the person standing on her back was not the little girl who had just killed Spider Demon Brother, but another girl she didn't recognize.
