I, who became an avatar, just want to survive

"Mr. Urokodaki, let's go." Lin Yu bowed slightly towards Urokodaki Sakonji. Her clothes were no longer the white leather jacket she wore at the beginning. Instead, she was wearing clothes similar to Makomo's, but Makomo's was a light red kimono with pink flowers and a black haori jacket, while Lin Yu's was a blue kimono with red flowers and a white haori jacket.

"Let's go." Urokodaki Sakonji waved his hand.

Lin Yu and Maou bowed to Urokodaki Sakonji again and then left.

Urokodaki Sakonji behind them waited until the two of them were out of sight before turning back to the house, "Lin Yu, you must bring Makoto back..."

After two days of long journey, the two finally arrived at the final selection site. Looking at the wisteria flowers all over the mountain, Zhengu's fatigue from the long journey was swept away, and he looked around with shining eyes, "Yu, look, it's so beautiful."

"Yes." Lin Yu looked at Zhen Gu who was holding his arm lovingly, "It is because of these wisteria flowers that the final selection will be held here."

"There are many demons sealed in here." Shinkomo nodded. Urokodaki Sakonji had already told the two of them the content of the final selection. They needed to survive in this mountain full of demons for seven days.

"Humph, since when did the final selection of the Demon Slayer Corps become so easy?" As the two were talking, a particularly aggressive voice rang out, "Can such a little demon come?"

Lin Yu looked at the speaker. The other party was a very rough muscular man with a pseudo-Sunwheel sword used for selection on his waist. He looked at Zhengu with disdain.

Uh... To outsiders, Zhen Gu, who had been holding Lin Yu's arm, did look like a coward.

However, being timid does not mean being weak.

Chapter 4 Enemies

Before Lin Yu could refute, someone stood up and spoke for Zhen Gu.

"You're crazy, look at what they're wearing on their heads, they're disciples of the former Water Pillar."

"So what if the front water column is so powerful?" The rough man snorted coldly, "Isn't the passing rate so low?"

"Just say a few words less!"

"Are you still not allowed to speak as a coward?"

"Being timid doesn't mean being weak." Lin Yu retorted, but before he could say the second sentence, a voice came from above the platform.

"Everyone is welcome to come to participate in the selection tonight. In this Fujiki Mountain, demons captured by the Demon Slayer Corps are imprisoned, but the demons cannot leave here because the mountain is full of wisteria flowers that the demons hate all year round. However..." The white-haired loli paused here, and the black-haired loli continued, "From here on, there will be no more wisteria flowers, and a large number of demons will appear in it."

"Surviving in Fujixi Mountain for 7 days will prove that you have passed the test."

At this point, the two lolis performed a standard Japanese bow, "Have a safe journey, everyone."

After the two of them opened the way, the rough man looked at Lin Yu provocatively and strode towards the back mountain.

Lin Yu and Zhen Gu followed the large group slowly into the mountains.

During this period, Zhen Gu kept holding Lin Yu's hand, not because Zhen Gu was timid, but because it was a habit developed over such a long time. However, Zhen Gu would never show mercy when it came time to take action.

There were many swordsmen who came to participate in the final selection, but not long after entering the mountains, only Lin Yu and Zhen Gu were left around.

"It's so big and so wet." Zhen Gu looked at the water column dripping from the tree and puffed up his mouth slightly. Although he was learning water breathing, Zhen Gu hated the wet feeling.

"Let's find a dry and secluded place first." Lin Yu looked around, "We can't stay up all week, let's find a relatively safe place and rest during the day."

"Can't we do it on a tree?" Zhen Gu pointed to a big tree not far away.

"We have to face not only ghosts here, but also many other things, such as snakes, insects, and even scorpions." Lin Yu explained to Zhen Gu using the survival knowledge she read on the Internet, "Besides, ghosts are afraid of the sun, so the place we find must be absolutely spacious and bright."

"It seems to make sense." While Zhen Gu was speaking, he quietly let go of Lin Yu's hand and placed it on the hilt of the sword. Seeing Zhen Gu's look, Lin Yu knew without thinking that something was approaching them.

The two of them continued walking vigilantly, and the unknown creature in the grass followed them closely. Although the sound it made was very small, they did not miss any movement.

When they were about to leave the bush, the creature inside couldn't help it anymore and jumped out with a roar.

How could the two men, who had been on alert for a long time, allow each other to attack? As soon as the enemy jumped out, Zhen Gu took the lead and jumped into the air. Lin Yu, who was the target of the attack, rushed straight towards the enemy without hesitation.

"Water Breathing·Seventh Form·Shizuku Wave Ripple!"

"Water Breathing, First Form, Water Surface Slash!"

Unlike Lin Yuqi's straight stab, Zhen Gu uses Yi's form to perform a horizontal slash at the back of the enemy's neck in the air.

The sneak attacker is a skinny ghost who usually relies on his speed to sneak attack the enemy.

When he first discovered Lin Yu and Zhen Gu, he hadn't eaten human beings for many years and his saliva instantly came down when he saw their flawless white skin. Especially when he saw Zhen Gu holding Lin Yu tightly, his little remaining sanity disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But even if it was just instinct, the ghost knew to use its advantage to kill with one strike.

However, Lin Yu and Zhen Gu's vigilance made it difficult for him to find the right time to attack. Seeing that the two were about to leave, he finally couldn't hold back and rushed towards them at the fastest speed in his life. If it were an ordinary swordsman, he would have been defeated by him, but unfortunately this time he met two girls who were much faster than him.

When he was halfway through the charge, he found that one of them disappeared. This change made him want to stop and run away, but he was unable to stop his strength at this time. He could only watch the long knife stabbing at him, and the girl who had just disappeared appeared on the reflective blade.

It turned out to be behind me. How unlucky I was that I hit a wall.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he lost all consciousness.

Watching the enemy in front of him turn into ashes, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put away his weapon, and Zhen Gu beside him immediately came over.

"The first one was dealt with perfectly, but it wasn't very strong."

"We should be careful. After all, what we want is to survive, not just kill ghosts." Lin Yu rubbed Zhen Gu's head, "Conserving physical strength is the kingly way."

"Okay, I'll listen to Yu." Zhengu nodded heavily.

Although Lin Yu said so, the current situation is still very troublesome. I don’t know if it is because ghosts have lived here for a long time, there is a dark and damp smell everywhere, and you can’t light a fire. Lighting a fire at night will only attract more ghosts.

If I can't find a suitable place tonight, I can only find a tree to rest under during the day as Zhen Gu said. Even if I can fall asleep that way, I will definitely not be comfortable.

Not getting enough rest will affect one's spirit at night, and the slightest mistake will be taken advantage of by ghosts. Although none of the ghosts here are strong except the hand ghost, they are all extremely hungry. Now that fresh food has finally come in, the attacks of this group of ghosts will definitely not be fatal.

As the two of them went deeper, Zhen Gu no longer held Lin Yu. Both of them put their hands on the hilt of the knife and moved forward cautiously.

The howling that came from the surroundings from time to time put a lot of psychological pressure on the two of them.

"Yu, are we really not going to help?" Zhen Gu followed Lin Yu. Although he could not hear the sound of fighting, there must be people fighting around.

"I can help you, but you have to solve our problem first." Lin Yu kept looking around.

"But Yu, why are we heading west? If we want to have more rest time, we should go east."

"We can't go to the east." Lin Yu replied immediately, "What we can think of, the ghosts can definitely think of. There are definitely the most ghosts in the east."

In fact, there is more than one reason. In the anime, Tanjiro Kamado encountered the Hand Demon in the east. If possible, Lin Yu did not want to fight with the Hand Demon. Even though Lin Yu had been training with the Hand Demon as an imaginary enemy for a year, the priority now is to ensure survival, not revenge.

"Have you found a suitable place?"

"Not yet..." Lin Yu had just finished speaking when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a rock from the corner of his eye. "No, it seems I found it."

"Where?" Zhen Gu came over and looked at where Lin Yu pointed. "It's a rock embedded in the cliff, but there's nothing around."

"But it's very suitable as a foothold. Let's go up and see what the view is like." Lin Yu took the initiative to pull Zhen Gu and walk over there, but such a good location must be known by more than just them.

There are many ghosts who are more familiar with this mountain than them.

Before the two of them left the woods, the sound of leaves rustling could be heard around them.

"Here it comes!" Lin Yu held the hilt of the knife, "Pay attention to your surroundings, and don't let go of the sky."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Gu grabbed Lin Yu and retreated backwards, and enemies appeared in the sky and underground at the same time.

"These two ghosts...are much stronger than the one we just dealt with." Lin Xi drew out his weapon and stared at the skinny ghost that emerged from the ground. "Zhen Gu, be careful."

"Two against two, we won't lose." Zhen Gu looked at the fat man who just appeared from the sky, "We will definitely not lose!"

The other party didn't waste any time and rushed towards the two of them with a roar.

Chapter 5 New Skills

The ghost that Lin Yu faced was very fast, many times faster than the one the two of them had dealt with at the beginning. Even using breathing techniques, he could only barely keep up with the opponent's speed.

The ghost that Zhen Gu faced was very slow, but its attack power was very strong. One punch could make a big hole in the ground. Unfortunately, it couldn't hit Zhen Gu at all.

Zhen Gu's advantage is speed. The fat ghost soon had many wounds on his body, but none of them were fatal.

Like the hand ghost, he protected his neck tightly.

"Do you still have the time to care about others?" The thin ghost's voice drew Lin Yu's attention back.

Lin Yu came back to his senses and immediately raised his sword to defend himself and block the attack.

Looking at the lively ghost in front of him, it seems that he will not be able to deal with this guy in a short time. In this case, he will hand him over to Zhen Gu.

Lin Yu took big steps back, pretending to want to escape. The opponent, who had been hungry for a long time, naturally would not miss this opportunity and pressed forward directly.

Zhen Gu, who was fighting not far away, saw this scene and quickened his pace again, trapping the fat ghost in place.

Lin Yu did not just retreat. While his feet were retreating, his hands were not idle either. He kept trying to attack the skinny ghost's neck, but he was dodged every time. But it didn't matter. After all... he was about to reach his destination.

The distance was about the same. Lin Yu estimated the distance in his mind and swung his knife and jumped high. The thin ghost, whose attention was all on Lin Yu, naturally wanted to follow him, but before he jumped up, another knife stabbed up from under his body.

"Water Breathing·Seventh Form·Shizuku Wave Ripple!"

It was Zhen Gu. When Lin Yu jumped up just now, he just blocked the falling figure of Zhen Gu. Without much words, the two of them immediately changed opponents, and the faster Zhen Gu killed the thin ghost.

Lin Yu, who was more familiar with water breathing, killed the fat ghost in the air.

"Water Breathing, Form Eight, Takitsubo!"

In the air, Lin Yu swung the Sun Wheel Sword downwards, and it smashed heavily to the ground like a flood that had just burst out of a sluice gate. The fat ghost didn't even have time to react before he was submerged by the water column, and finally his body and the water column dissipated together.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Looking at the thin ghost gradually disappearing, Zhengu put away his Sun Blade, "There shouldn't be any more ghosts around now."

"Well, it's daytime after all." Lin Yu felt the first ray of sunlight in the morning and slowly put away the Sun Wheel Sword. "Sure enough, I'm still not as fast as you."

"Dan Yu, your moves are very powerful." Zhen Gu would stick close to him whenever he had the chance, and Lin Yu could only spare one arm to give to her.

"Okay, let's go up and take a look. If it's ok, we'll use that rock as our base for the next few days."

"Hmm!" Zhen Gu rubbed against Lin Yu's arm like a kitten.

The height of the rock might be difficult for ordinary people, but for the two who had already learned the breathing technique, it was about the same height as two or three steps of stairs, and they reached the top of the rock easily.

Lin Yu first checked whether the rock was strong enough, then the vision, and then... it was about the sky. After experiencing the battle last night, the two realized that the sky was not safe when fighting ghosts.

Fortunately, Zhen Gu was lucky. When he was poking around, he found a very small natural cave behind the rock.

In the end, the two of them hit it off and moved directly into the cave. Knowing that they would have to stay there for seven days, Lin Yu brought a lot of dry food. Although it tasted bad, it was nutritious and could satisfy hunger. After eating and drinking, the two began to take turns to rest.

In Tengxi Mountain, it is much easier for two people to survive with the help of each other than alone. Lin Yu couldn't understand why that group of people still acted alone.

Bedtime routine, turn on the system.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that both his Seventh Form and Eighth Form had been upgraded. The two moves that were originally only level 8 were now both level 9.
