Nobita, quickly use your invincible treasure bag to think of a solution!

When Inosuke saw that Tanjiro was trying to get rid of him, he quickly pedaled faster to catch up with Tanjiro.

"Inosuke, I know you are confused now. This feeling of being cared for and concerned about is something you have never experienced in the mountains. You can think of it as a bond between people. When people have concerns and bonds, they will become stronger. So remember this feeling, it will help you become stronger."

Nobita sat on the bed of the tricycle and explained to Inosuke who caught up with him.

"Bond? Attachment?" Inosuke still didn't understand, but he felt that these two things seemed to be good for him. "Wait, wait for me, wait for me, Tanjiro, Inosuke, don't ride so fast, wait for me."

Zenitsu, who was hanging behind, was pedaling his bicycle, but he could not catch up with the two people in front of him. He could only pedal as hard as he could to try not to fall behind.

"Hey, what are you doing? I won't allow you to be the last one in the class. Charge up, charge up and overtake them. If you can't catch up with them, I will crawl on your face and bite off your skin at night!" Zenitsu's lagging behind made the ghost drum Kai hanging on his waist very unhappy, and he even threatened Zenitsu out loud.

"Ahh! No!"

Threatened by Xiangkai, Zenitsu immediately used all his strength to pedal and tried his best to catch up with the two people in front.

……

In the afternoon, Nobita, Tanjiro and others finally arrived at Nada Spider Mountain.

Riding a bicycle is much faster than running. If they run, they will not reach the foot of the mountain until the evening.

Night is the time when demons are most active and visibility is low. This environment is extremely disadvantageous for the Demon Slayer Corps.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Nobita jumped off the truck carrying the box on his back. Tanjiro and others also got off the truck and parked the car next to the ridge of the field.

"Nobita, are we going into the mountains now?"

The mountain breeze blew, and the stench of corpses came towards him. Tanjiro covered his nose and asked Nobita for his opinion.

Tanjiro knew very well that Nobita's fighting power was stronger than all of them combined, so it would be right to ask him first when encountering problems.

"Coward, at a time like this, of course I have to rush in and kill as much as I can. My Sun Blade is thirsty for blood!"

Inosuke still had that murderous look on his face, but after being blessed by the old lady, he felt that his whole body was filled with strength.

Nobita shook his head: "No hurry, eat first, then rest, we will go into the mountain after we have enough energy."

"Oh, so this is it. The demon here is called Rui, a Lower Rank demon. He is very powerful. He is also Muzan's favorite demon. He doesn't even have to participate in the bloody battle of position switching. He is born to be a Lower Rank demon. How enviable."

Hibiki, who was on Zenitsu's waist, jumped onto the seat of the bicycle and told everyone the information about the evil spirits in Nada Spider Mountain.

Bottom string! ?

When he heard that it was the Twelve Kizuki, Tanjiro frowned immediately, thinking about the gap in strength between himself and the Lower Moon, and suddenly felt that what Nobita said made sense. The strength of the Upper Moon last time was already terrifying. Even if the Lower Moon was a little weaker than him, he would not be much weaker.

Zenitsu and Inosuke next to them also had different expressions. Zenitsu was so scared that his legs went weak. He hugged Hibiki and asked him if he could protect himself. Inosuke excitedly swung his sword, saying that he would use his Nichirin Sword to chop off the Lower Rank's head to prove that he was the strongest swordsman.

"Well, you have heard that the one in the mountain is a lower-ranked one, and he is very powerful, so let's eat first."

Nobita took out a bunch of lunch boxes from his arms and placed them in the truck bed, allowing Tanjiro and the others to choose.

This time, Nobita used a self-service lunch box, which consisted of six rectangular, 30-centimeter-deep lunch boxes and two rice boxes placed in the truck bed.

Needless to say, the snow-white rice exudes a rich rice aroma that makes people drool just by smelling it.

The remaining six lunch boxes contained braised pork, stuffed meat with green peppers, tomato and egg, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, mapo tofu, and mu shu pork. The aroma of the six dishes mixed together made Tanjiro and others, who had been riding bicycles for half a day and had consumed a lot of energy, drool.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Nobita transformed into a cafeteria lady, knocking the lunch boxes with a big spoon in his hand, and beckoned: "Come on, come on, eat for free, eat for free, eat whatever you want, line up."

When Tanjiro and the other two saw the empty plates next to the truck, they stepped forward to scoop out some rice, then lined up in front of Nobita, waiting for Nobita to serve his food.

Nobita took the plates from Tanjiro and the other two, and took a spoonful of each dish. He was not like the auntie in the cafeteria who had Parkinson's syndrome and had to shake out a lot of the food after she served it. He put a full spoonful of the dish on the plate and finally poured a spoonful of vegetable soup on the rice. The taste was so delicious.

After telling Tanjiro and the others that they could get more if they were not full, Nobita brought out a large bucket of mung bean soup and put it in the car, allowing Tanjiro and the others to help themselves. Then he ran to the side with his lunch box and ate.

Tanjiro and the others are no longer surprised by Nobita's magical skills. After all, if he can turn ghosts into ghost weapons, then carrying food with him is not a problem. Last time in the haunted house, Nobita took out many boxes of eel rice. It is not difficult to understand why he can make these colorful and delicious meals now.

However, when Nobita and his friends were eating boxed lunches and drinking mung bean soup, there were some people who were so blind that they dared to cause trouble for them.

They were a group of Demon Slayer Corps members who were attracted by the smell of food. There weren't many of them, only ten, nine men and one woman. Among the men there was a buddy with a middle-parted hair, who didn't look like he had any special features at all. His strength seemed mediocre as well, and he looked like an ordinary passerby.

Among this team of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, the leader is a swordsman with a bowl-cut haircut and bangs. He is wearing a pure white haori with gold patterns. He walks with his nose in the air and looks extremely arrogant.

"Hey, you guys, are you members of the Demon Slayer Corps? I haven't seen you before. Newbies, right? Kei-rank? You eat pretty well."

The young man with the pot-cut hair walked to the front of the truck bed, stepped on the edge of the bed, glanced at the food in the lunch box, and stirred it with a large spoon.

"Hello, seniors. We are the new swordsmen who have come to support us. Please take care of us." Tanjiro quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up and bowed to the Demon Slayer Corps members in front of him.

Tanjiro's habitually kind-hearted character makes him selectively ignore other people's impolite behavior, so after seeing his predecessors, it is natural for him to maintain a respectful attitude towards the swordsmen in front of him.

Tanjiro has always had a high level of favorability towards his colleagues who protect humans from evil spirits.

"You have a good attitude as a junior. Okay, just sit there and eat by yourself. We also need to eat."

The pot-cut guy patted Tanjiro's shoulder in a very familiar manner, then pushed Tanjiro aside and white-lighted the people behind him. A group of swordsmen came to the front of the truck with laughter, picked up the plates that Nobita had prepared in advance, imitated Tanjiro and the others, served themselves rice, and prepared to eat.

"Wait a minute, you guys..." Tanjiro was about to step forward to dissuade these outspoken swordsmen, but unexpectedly he was pushed aside by a swordsman with a crew cut.

The swordsman had a very bad attitude and said, "What are you doing? You low-level swordsmen have good food and drinks, so why don't you give priority to us high-level swordsmen? We are Grade I swordsmen, and the captain is Grade E swordsman. Isn't it normal for you rookies to offer your food to us?"

A swordsman with medium-length hair nearby echoed, "That's right, that's right. If we, the high-level swordsmen, hadn't charged in the front, you low-level swordsmen would have died without knowing how when facing those powerful evil spirits."

The eight male swordsmen didn't take Tanjiro and the others seriously at all. They thought that seniority should prevail and that the lower-level swordsmen should obey them, the higher-level swordsmen. So when they saw Tanjiro and the others eating, they thought that they were also hungry and planned to steal Nobita and the others' food.

Only the last swordsman with a passerby face and the female swordsman did not move. The swordsman with a passerby face even stepped forward to dissuade the other swordsmen, and the female swordsman kept bowing and apologizing to Zenitsu who was closest to him.

Nobita was naturally unhappy that his food was taken away by a group of strangers for no reason, and the other party's attitude was so bad. However, he did not take action. He just asked Inosuke beside him: "Inosuke, if someone steals your food and leaves you hungry, what will you do?"

Inosuke, who had just devoured his lunch box, stood up immediately and snorted, "Humph, of course I'll take it back!"

Inosuke dropped the plate in his hand, walked quickly forward, bypassed the female swordsman who was pushed away in front of him, grabbed a swordsman with a scar on his face who was eating stuffed peppers with meat, tripped him, and pulled his arm, and the swordsman was thrown out.

Inosuke acted too quickly, and before the others could react, Inosuke turned around and punched the crew-cut swordsman who attacked Tanjiro in the face, knocking him flying on the spot and crashing into the field next to him.

At this time, the remaining six swordsmen also reacted and realized that the pig-headed boy was going to attack their seniors, so they surrounded him and prepared to deal with Inosuke who did not know the difference between the young and the old.

Inosuke didn't show them any courtesy. He first used a sweeping kick, followed by an uppercut, which hit the back teeth of the medium-length haired swordsman. He dodged the fist of the swordsman in the gray haori in front of him, and then kicked him in the crotch. With one kick, the opponent bent over on the spot, his body bent like a shrimp.

The remaining swordsmen saw how vicious Inosuke's attack was, and they immediately stopped being polite to Inosuke and started punching and kicking Inosuke. Several swordsmen surrounded Inosuke together.

Seeing his good friend being besieged, Tanjiro naturally planned to step forward to dissuade them, but the group of swordsmen were also too hot-blooded, and the swordsman who was beaten badly by Inosuke was unwilling to suffer a loss, so a melee broke out.

Inosuke was used to living in the mountains, and he had been taught martial arts by Nobita, and he had eaten ghosts to strengthen his body, so he had no problem dealing with evil ghosts with his bare hands, not to mention a few swordsmen who didn't draw their swords. He punched left and right, and each punch made the others bleed from the nose.

Tanjiro wanted to step forward to persuade them to stop fighting, but was mistaken for Inosuke's helper by those swordsmen, so he was forced to join the battle. However, because he didn't want to hurt anyone, Tanjiro could only defend passively, and soon he was punched and his nose was bleeding.

Originally, it was just a fight between a group of young people, which was no big deal, but Tanjiro was beaten and bleeding, so this matter could not be simply resolved.

Because Nezuko smelled the blood of her brother Tanjiro, the originally silent wooden box suddenly became restless. Although Nezuko was still afraid of the sunlight and did not crawl out of the box, the breath of the evil spirit had already spread.

After mastering the breathing method, the five senses of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have been greatly enhanced. Although their sense of smell is not as strong as Tanjiro's, their hearing is not as good as Shanyi's, and their sense of touch is not as sensitive as Inosuke's, they still have no problem detecting the breath of evil spirits nearby.

Swish swish!

Several angry swordsmen drew their Nichirin swords and pointed the blades at the wooden box next to Nobita.

The pot-cut guy shouted to Nobita, "Hey kid, what's hidden in the box next to you? Hand over the monster in the box yourself, or don't blame us for being rude to you!"

As the captain of the team, Pot Cover Head was often punched by Inosuke. Inosuke loved to challenge those leaders the most. After recognizing Pot Cover Head's status in this group of people, he held the idea of ​​capturing the leader first and often punched Pot Cover Head in the face with his two fists.

It was fine before the ghosts were discovered, and everyone would fight and knock one side down, and the matter would be over. But when ghosts are involved, some things cannot be raised high and let go lightly.

Seeing that several swordsmen were about to slay demons and monsters, and wanted to chop his sister, Tanjiro was not going to let it go. With a nosebleed, he quickly explained: "Wait a minute, seniors, the one in the box is my sister. She is not a bad person, she is just... is..."

Tanjiro didn't know how to explain it. No one would understand why he was traveling with a demon. Zenitsu and Inosuke were good people, and with Nobita's guarantee, they could understand him. But that didn't mean that other swordsmen could understand him. And it seemed that the other party was determined to find a reason to kill Nezuko.

Tanjiro explained for a long time but still got no answer, which gave the guy with a crew cut who had two front teeth knocked out by Inosuke an opportunity to say, "I say, don't waste time with them. They are hesitant and can't say anything. It's obvious that they are accomplices of the evil and are in cahoots with the demons. We can't let them tarnish the name of the Demon Slayer Corps. Kill them, and the lord will have an explanation too."

"That's right, you shameless guy, you actually hid the evil ghost, your crime is extremely heinous!"

"Stop talking nonsense with them, let's work together and kill them!"

The words of the crew cut were recognized by the others, so they drew their swords one by one and approached Tanjiro and the others.

The female swordsman Ozaki, the road pillar Murata, and Zenitsu wanted to stop it, but they were powerless and no amount of persuasion was effective, and the two sides became completely hostile.

After finishing his meal, Nobita slowly stood up and said in a cold voice: "I think you are the ones who are shameless. Not only did you steal the lunch of the juniors, but you also bullied the few with your numbers. If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat? Xiang Kai!"

Nobita raised his right hand, and a small drum flew out from Zenitsu's waist and landed in his palm.

dong dong!

Nobita raised his hand and clapped the drum twice.

"Wait, Nobita, don't..."

Tanjiro wanted to stop Nobita, but it was too late. He could only watch Nobita beat the ghost drum.

As early as when he was in Fujiya, Tanjiro had witnessed the power of the ghost drum, which was completely an enhanced version of Hibiki. Whoever got the ghost drum and beat it could control the target's body to flip direction and forcibly control the opponent's body. At the same time, he could summon invisible ghost claws to tear the enemy apart.

Tanjiro saw with his own eyes that Zenitsu just casually hit the ghost drum, and the invisible ghost claws tore the outer wall of the Fujiya, forcing them to apologize to Granny Shou repeatedly.

How could the weak human body be harder than a wall?

However, to Tanjiro's surprise, after Nobita struck the demon drum, the swordsmen were not torn apart by the demon claws. Instead, they all floated up and were thrown into the muddy field, covered in mud.

Nobita stood on the truck bed holding a drum. He glared at Tanjiro and told him to shut up. Then he said coldly to the swordsmen, "If you keep on talking nonsense next time, this will be the fate of you!"

Boom!

The sound of ghost drums was heard, and an invisible attack swept across the seedlings in the rice field. With Nobita as the center, the surrounding seedlings fell down in a radial pattern, were cut in half one after another, and finally fell in the field.

Gum!

The sound of swallowing saliva out of fear sounded in the throats of several swordsmen. After seeing the power of Nobita's magical drum, they all regretted shouting about killing the ghost.

Being able to use special abilities without using the Nichirin Sword, isn't this the blood demon art of the evil spirits?

Don't talk about rare blood. Rare blood is food for ghosts, not a treasure that can give people supernatural powers.

The swordsmen obviously thought Nobita was a supernatural ghost who could use blood magic.

Considering that it is daytime now, the boy in front of me is obviously a ghost, and a ghost that is not afraid of the sun.

Twelve Ghost Moons? Or a higher level ghost king?

Doesn't this mean that their Nichirin Swords have become useless? The weapon that was once so effective in killing demons is now ineffective. This is a big deal.

Thinking of this, the pot-cut man climbed up from the mud and pointed at Nobita and said, "You, you evil ghost, don't be so complacent. We in the Demon Slayer Corps also have powerful pillars. If you attack us, be careful that your head will be in danger!"

The timid but powerful Pot-Cut Head can only use the name of the Pillar to intimidate Nobita.

These people came to the Demon Slayer Corps to make money, not to die. They formed a team of ten people because they thought that if they were not strong enough, they could sacrifice others in exchange for their chance to escape. So they are not like Tanjiro, who has a deep hatred and a lifelong goal of killing demons. They are all people who cherish their lives very much.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here now, or I'll get hungry and eat you too!"

Nobita glared at the pot-cut guy. He had just been shouting at Zhu to kill people, but now he wilted and ran away without even daring to say anything harsh.

When Pot Cover Head ran away, his little brothers followed him and did not dare to stay where they were.

"Wait, since you just offended my friends and stole our things, I want you to apologize to us and leave two of you as our slaves, and I will let you go, otherwise..." Nobita stopped a few people again, and then slapped the ghost drum in his hand.

Boom!

Five invisible claw marks suddenly swept across the clothes of several swordsmen, plowing five deep grooves on the ground, scaring several swordsmen who were about to run away and almost wet their pants.

Faced with the threat to their lives, several swordsmen thought for a while and pushed out the female swordsman Ozaki who temporarily joined them and the passerby Murata to block the sword. The remaining eight people hurriedly ran into the Nada Spider Mountain, fearing that they would be stopped by Nobita again.

The ponytailed female swordsman Ozaki looked at the young men in front of her, as well as the powerful Nobita who was suspected to be the Demon King. She swallowed her saliva, held the hilt of the sword with her jade hand, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you don't come over, I am a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, be careful or I will chop off your heads..."

Murata on the side also drew his sword and responded: "Yes, we are also very strong, please don't go too far, don't force me to kneel down and beg you to let me go!"

Ozaki: "..."

Tanjiro and others: "..."

Nobita: "..."

After a brief silence, Nobita threw the Hibiki in his hand, and Zenitsu jumped out from the side and caught the Hibiki in his hand.

Nobita waved at Ozaki and Murata and said, "Come on, let's eat. We are not ghosts. Have you ever seen a ghost eat? The attack just now was just a little trick. If it weren't for my trick, how could we eat this meal? Besides, I kept you here to thank you two for breaking up the fight. Go get a plate to serve your rice and dishes."

The two swordsmen actually didn't believe Nobita's answer, but under Tanjiro's temperament as warm as the sun, Ozaki and Murata chose to believe Nobita and the others. They were also a little hungry, so they let down their guard and went to eat.

When the delicious food entered their mouths, the two of them were suddenly filled with happiness and completely believed that Nobita and the others were good people.

However, after finishing the meal, when faced with the invitation from Ozaki and Murata to go into the mountains, Nobita did not agree. Instead, he asked the two to go into the mountains first, and they would go in after dark.

Nobita didn't tell them the reason for their separate actions, and Ozaki and the others didn't ask, so the two sides parted ways.

It was not until nightfall that Nobita and his companions, together with Nezuko, headed towards the mountains. Not long after, they saw the swordsman with whom they had been arguing in the morning falling to the ground. Then, amid his screams, he was pulled into the sky by an unexpected force and pulled back into the woods.

The scene was so weird that Zenitsu almost fainted, but considering there was a girl next to him, he barely managed to not faint. However, Inosuke disliked Zenitsu like this, because when Zenitsu was frightened just now, he jumped directly onto Inosuke's back, which made Inosuke dislike him for a while.

Just like that, with fear of the unknown, Nobita and his friends entered Nada Spider Mountain, ready to face their own battle!
