Hori Gaku was not sure which of the two arguments was true.

However, since it was about the blue red spider lily, Hori Gaku could not be careless. He decided to go to these two places to check it out in person if he had the chance.

Hori Gaku had already learned about Tanjiro's mother's hometown from Tanjiro's mother before, but he had never been there because it was not on his way.

This time, if he could find Tanjiro's home on the way, Hori Gaku would not mind going over to take a look.

Of course, the most important thing now is the so-called man-eating bear. Although Tanjiro's home is important, his home is there and it won't run away, right? After walking in the snow for a long time, Hori Gaku was a little impatient.

This speed was really too slow.

Although they usually walked on the trees and roofs as if they were walking on flat ground, in fact, that was just brute force. When they encountered such a bad situation as snow, their speed was not fast.

Hori Gaku hoped that he could learn Qinggong at this time, and do a Lingbo Weibu, stepping on the snow without leaving any traces, so that he could���Are you moving fast?

Seeing that it won't be dark for long, Hori Gaku didn't plan to dawdle.

He jumped in the snow, jumped onto the upper branch, and quickly jumped between the trees.

Why didn't Hori Gaku use this method before?

That's because...

With a snap! Hori Gaku accidentally stepped on a dead branch. How could this dead branch withstand such a force? It was broken at the time.

Hori Gaku also lost his balance and fell headfirst.

Before landing, Hori Gaku kicked the tree trunk and used the reaction force to jump to another tree.

You see, that's why. In the middle of winter, the tree trunks and branches are bare. Just by looking at them with the naked eye, it is really impossible to tell whether these branches are dry or tough.

In this case, Hori Gaku usually can't run far before he steps on a dead branch, and then loses his balance and falls down.

But because he has to hurry and save time, there is no other way.

In addition, Hori Gaku was skilled and courageous, so he chose to walk on the tree.

In this way, before it got dark, Hori Gaku finally found human habitation in this northern mountain range.

It was a village called Kitano Sukuzu. This village was built by the gathering of herbalists, hunters, lumberjacks, and other people who made a living in the mountains.

The rumor of the man-eating bear was also spread from the village of Sukuzu.

Because he was afraid of scaring ordinary people here, Hori Gaku came down from the tree in advance and walked for a while in the snow before entering Sukuzu.

But when he just entered Sukuzu, Hori Gaku's face looked a little bad.

There is no way, jumping on the tree is fast.

But every now and then, usually after a few steps, he would step on a dead branch, and then the whole person would fall down, and after a few steps, he would step on another dead branch and fall down again. Along the way

, Hori Gaku didn't know how many times he fell, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

Hori Gaku walked into the town with a blank face. He thought:

You'd better be a ghost. If you are a bear, I will chop you into pieces, stew your meat, roast your paws, and peel off your fur to make money!

Walking in Suzi, Hori Gaku found that the atmosphere in the town was a bit tense.

Could it be because of the man-eating bear?

Just as he was thinking this, two hunters passing by confirmed Hori Gaku's guess through their conversation.

"Which person is this?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid there are almost 20 people."

"We can't go on like this, we must find a way to kill the cave beast first"

"It's easy to say, but in this kind of horrible weather, it's difficult, too difficult to kill the beast out of its den in the mountains!"

"But we can’t just watch people continue to get injured and killed!"

"Yes, we can only find a time when the weather is better, send out all the hunters, and go into the mountains together to encircle and suppress it."

Listening to this conversation and watching the two hunters leave, Hori Gaku was certain in his heart.

The so-called man-eating bear must be in this mountain, and must be near Suzi!

No matter whether it is a ghost or a bear, as long as it eats people, it must be in a place not far from human habitation, otherwise where can it eat people? Who will give him food?

Suzi, as one of the few human settlements among the vast snowy mountains and forests, is the only choice for this man-eating bear.

In other words, tonight, he only needs to patrol the surroundings and wait for the rabbit to come.

Even if it is a ghost, it is probably not a particularly powerful ghost.

Just thinking about this, Hori Gaku plans to find a hotel to rest first. After all, to be in this vast Even he was reluctant to stay in the vast snow and ice for a whole night.

After walking around the streets of the village twice, Hori Gaku found that there seemed to be only one hotel in Suzili.

One is better than none.

As soon as he approached the hotel, before Hori Gaku entered the door, he found that there was a quarrel over there.

Turning around, he saw that it was a few old hunters who were blaming a young hunter.

The old hunters were not too old, but the young hunter was really young.

The young hunter was a girl with smart clothes, delicate and heroic looks.

The old hunters said they were blaming, but in fact they were completely worried and concerned about the girl.

The old hunters scolded the girl dissatisfiedly:

"Yae, you went to the mountains alone again last night, didn't you? It's too dangerous!"

This girl is a stubborn person, so he gritted his teeth and retorted:

"How could I be alone? I have Tailu beside me, okay! ?"

"But the problem is, Tailu is not a human, he is a dog!"

Hori Gaku looked at the Akita dog that the girl was holding, and his mouth twitched slightly.

This girl is really stubborn. With only a hunting rifle on her back and a hunting dog on a leash, she dared to go deep into the mountains at night.

I really don't know what this girl is thinking. Obviously, there have been man-eating bears in the mountains recently, but she is not afraid at all.

Hmm? Wait!

Which hunter would go into the snow in the mountains in the middle of the night?

Moreover, the matter of man-eating bears has been widely spread in Suzi. Even if this girl is stubborn, she will not go to the mountains in the middle of the night to die, right?

This is simply sending a buffet to man-eating bears!

Hori Gaku immediately judged that there was something wrong with this girl!

He leaned over and began to listen carefully to the girl's situation.

The old hunter persuaded the girl earnestly:

"Yae, I know you want to hunt down the cave beast to avenge your father.

But this is not a solution.

I'm afraid you will collapse before you even encounter the cave beast.

And it's too dangerous for you to hunt down the cave beast alone. How can you kill the cave beast? This beast has eaten nearly twenty people!

Be obedient and go home."
