Qinghe wandered around this world for a few days. Except for the first five, she didn't encounter any other cannibals. It seemed that the number of cannibals was much less than she expected.

She threw some more wood into the fire and continued to stare at the starry sky.

It just so happened that she was also bored here, so she decided to go back and check on Gui Deng's progress.

A stream ran through the silent and deserted forest. In the gurgling water, a human-shaped figure floated down from upstream.

"Hmm..." Haruka's eyes also followed the object.

So why did she always find strange things in the river?

Qinghe fished the person out of the water. It was a young woman with a laceration on her back. She might have been attacked by a wild beast or encountered a ghost.

Although the woman was seriously injured, her breathing was normal and her desire to survive was strong.

Qinghe bandaged her wound, put her next to the fire, and then continued to stare blankly.

After a while, a rustling sound came from upstream of the river.

A strange human head emerged from the bushes, with a pair of sharp claws on its ears. Behind the head was a long snake body with many pairs of arms on both sides of the snake body.

Just seeing it makes my eyes hurt.

Tsk tsk tsk, are these ghosts growing randomly because they are not exposed to light?

Qinghe showed a look of disdain. No matter how casual they were, they couldn't be so ugly.

"Hey, little ghost, give me back my blood." The curious ghost said, but did not stop approaching.

But Qinghe just stared at him with disgust, without any intention of responding.

The distance was getting closer and closer. The ghost hunter showed a triumphant grin and suddenly pounced towards Qinghe.

"Eh - so disgusting." Qinghe kicked him in the face.

The curious ghost was kicked away, and his body dragged a long deep groove on the ground.

When he finally stopped, the snake's body was twisted into a knot and its skull was completely sunken.

Qinghe's strength was beyond the imagination of the ghost hunter. Fortunately, his blood ghost technique allowed him to shed his skin. He fell into the ditch and did not move. Instead, he closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Being kicked away this time was a complete miscalculation. He planned to disguise the shed skin as a corpse and wait for Qinghe to let down her guard before launching a sneak attack on her.

Qinghe looked at the curious ghost pretending to be dead and didn't go over to finish him off for the time being. The main reason was that he was so ugly that she wanted to pack him up and give him to Gui Deng.

Gui Deng has a warehouse full of curious gadgets, and weird things like this should be in line with his collection taste.

Qinghe was hesitant. After all, this thing was so ugly that giving it as a gift would be more like a curse.

There was the sound of flapping wings across the stream, and a raven flew out of the woods and stopped by the water on the other side.

"We've found something. It's a ghost and an injured person. Hurry up, idiot!" Crow shouted to the person behind him.

"Huh? Stupid bird, if you keep screaming, you'll die with the ghost."

A tall... boy? ran over from the shadows.

Qinghe looked at the rooster-comb-haired boy opposite her, and the boy was also looking at her.

The boy's eyes moved to behind Qinghe, and his expression became nervous: "Be careful, get out of the way!"

The curious ghost found the right moment and pounced on Qinghe again.

The boy took out his gun and began to aim, but the bullet he fired was deflected by the claws on the side of the ghost's face.

Qinghe picked up the umbrella and chopped the curious ghost in half, then pierced his head with the tip of the umbrella and nailed it to the ground.

The other half of the ghost's body was still squirming, and it pounced on Qinghe again. This time, the boy's bullet successfully hit the lower half of the ghost.

The lower half of the ghost slowly turned into ashes, and the boy ran over from the other side of the river.

He looked at the ghost pinned to the ground by Qinghe and explained to her: "Ordinary weapons can't kill ghosts. Let me deal with him."

This ghost was so disabled that he could not be used as a gift at all, so Qinghe had to give up the idea of ​​giving him to Kidō.

"Thank you?" Qinghe took out his umbrella and gave the main court to the boy.

After being released, the ghost wanted to escape, but the next second his neck was cut by the Nichirin Sword.

After dealing with the ghost, Fuzugawa Xuanya breathed a sigh of relief, then he looked at Haruka and said, "It's very dangerous at night, don't stay in the deep mountains and forests."

Looking at it from a closer distance, the boy was really ridiculously tall. Qinghe was only about the same height as his thigh and had to look up to see him.

He arrived just in time, and Qinghe began to shake off the burden: "I'll leave that big sister to you."

Xuan Mi was stunned. What kind of inexplicable decision was this? He was shocked: "Ah, why?!"

"Aren't you from the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Haruka felt that there was nothing wrong with his decision. It was very reasonable to leave the problems of demons and the problems caused by demons to the Demon Slayer Corps.

"How do you know? No, what does this have to do with the Demon Slayer Corps?" Xuan Mi was shocked again and again. Why could this girl just shirk the blame so easily?

"You mean to let a weak little girl take an unconscious older sister with her to survive in the wilderness?"

Xuan Mi was a little annoyed. Although it remained to be verified whether she was weak, what she said made sense and he could not ignore the injured.

But even if he was given it, he wouldn't know what to do with that woman.

Qinghe saw him pacing back and forth anxiously and found something interesting: "Eh~, you're not good at getting along with girls~"

After being exposed, Xuan Mi's face turned red instantly.

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Are you an idiot?" Xuan Mi became angry and embarrassed.

After he finished scolding her, he immediately regretted it. Ah! How could he lose his temper at a girl?

"No… I, tsk, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I understand that you're just angry." Qinghe forgave him very kindly.

"Hey, you!" Xuan Mi was about to curse when he saw Qinghe looking at him calmly.

"Me?" Qinghe waited for him to continue, because if he cursed again, she would talk back.

Xuan Mi swallowed the complaints that were about to come to his lips. For some reason, he always felt that if he scolded her again, something bad would happen.

Qinghe walked around Xuanya and inserted the tip of the umbrella that had just stabbed the ghost into the stream and stirred it, letting the water wash away the blood.

"There is a village nearby. I'll take you there." Xuan Mi felt that this was the only way.

It's impossible to let a child and an injured woman fend for themselves in the wilderness.

He squatted down and was about to pick up the unconscious woman.

The injured woman woke up slowly at this time. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure squatting next to her.

The memory of being chased by ghosts before she fell into a coma and the ferocious face in front of her scared the woman awake.

"Ghost! Help!"

Ignoring the severe pain from the wound on her back, she struggled to move backwards. Just as she was about to fall into the water again, Qinghe reached out and caught her from behind.

"Calm down, it's safe now." Qinghe didn't want to go into the water for the second time.

The woman looked back in panic, and only relaxed when she saw a child behind her.

"He's really not a ghost?" The woman was still a little scared.

"Huh? Are you looking for trouble?" Xuan Mi's tone was not very good.

The woman trembled and hugged Qinghe tightly, trying to get some sense of security.

"He's a kind-hearted person passing by." Qinghe gently patted the woman's back where there was no wound, and comforted her: "The ghost has been killed by him, don't be afraid."

The woman looked at Xuan Mi cautiously. Although his expression was fierce, he just stood there without moving. It should be true, right?

"Thank you for saving me. I apologize for my attitude just now." The woman slowly let down her guard.

"Tsk, should we leave or not?" Xuan Mi didn't expect that dealing with an injured person would be more troublesome than killing ghosts.

After some hesitation, the woman finally lay on Xuan Mi's back: "Thank you for your help."

On the way to the village, the woman explained the reason why she appeared in the wild.

In the past year, people have been missing nearby, and everyone thinks that the mountain god is angry, so every two months they choose a sacrifice to appease the god's wrath.

Although the disappearances did not stop, they were certainly less frequent, and people were more convinced that the sacrifices were effective.

This month they planned to sacrifice two people. The woman, who had lost her husband and had no family, was pushed out by them.

Of course, she didn't want to die at the hands of these ignorant people. Fortunately, she heard that there was a Eternal Paradise Sect nearby.

They would rescue believers who were desperate, so she escaped under the cover of night. After finally escaping here, she didn't expect to encounter such a scary ghost.

"Eternal Bliss?" Qinghe felt that the name sounded quite like a cult.

There seemed to be light in the woman's eyes, and she was gesticulating with her hands.

"I heard that the Patriarch is a very gentle Son of God. As long as you confide your troubles to him, you will be saved."

"Hey, don't move!" Xuan Mi warned her in a harsh tone with a red face.

"Oh, sorry." The woman realized that she was still on someone else's back and calmed down.
