Tanjiro's expression was serious. Everything had happened too fast, and he hadn't even realized what was happening, and the person had been taken away from in front of him, even Senior Aoyama had gone in.
His hand tightly clenched into a fist. "I'm setting off!"
Zenitsu grabbed Tanjiro's arm from behind. "No, Tanjiro, don't go in! It's too terrifying and dangerous."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't block my way, you coward!"
Inosuke Hashibira used his shoulder to heavily bump Zenitsu. He had been a step too late, otherwise, he would have rushed in ahead of Aoyama.
This made him fall behind, and he was unhappy in his heart.
At this time, Tanjiro was a little angry that Zenitsu was still hugging his arm, not letting him enter the mountain.
"Zenitsu, if you don't want to go in, then stay like Senior Aoyama said. I'm definitely going in!" He pulled off the hand on his arm, quickly running towards the mountain.
Watching the two people enter the mountain one after the other, Zenitsu squatted on the ground, trembling, not knowing what to do.
Takeshi, who had been taken into the mountain, had some spider silk stuck to his body, instantly understanding that what was connected to that person wasn't some ordinary thread, but the thread released by the demons in Natagumo Mountain!
He swung the sword in his hand, cutting the spider silk connecting to that person.
Before Takeshi could open his mouth to ask anything, whoosh—a thread flew towards him.
Takeshi subconsciously dodged to the side, but that thread didn't chase after him, instead, it flew towards the person just now.
The silver-white thread wrapped around his neck.
"Quick, cut it off!" Takeshi shouted, his body also running towards that person.
But it was still a step too late. Just as he reached that person, at the moment the thread tightened, that person's head was directly cut off.
The head fell on the ground, rolling a few times, fresh blood staining the soil.
"Oops, oops, oops! What a pity, still a step too late."
The voice came from the tree. A boy wearing a kimono with a spider web pattern on it walked barefoot on the silver-white threads connected between the trees, a small tuft of hair blocking his right eye.
Takeshi looked up towards the top, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar. In this world, this was his first meeting with him.
A member of the Twelve Kizuki, Lower Moon Five—Rui!
"Ha! It's a little late, but ah, it won't delay you from dying!"
Takeshi, using the surrounding trees, as well as the strength in his legs, quickly moved from the tree trunk to the tree branches, finally arriving at the location where Rui was.
His legs exerted force, making his body fly in mid-air, the sword in his hand drawing a white light. He didn't hurt Rui, but he cut the threads under his feet.
Feeling a gaze behind him, Takeshi turned his head to look, but he couldn't find the owner of that gaze.
Standing on the tree branch, Rui looked towards the location behind Takeshi, a displeased expression appearing on his face, instead his eyes fell on Takeshi.
"My companions, Mother will be able to take care of them soon! And you will die at Father's hands."
These seemingly simple words were actually arranging who should die at whose hands among the people who had intruded into Natagumo Mountain.
Mother? Father?
Takeshi suddenly reacted. Just now, he had only been thinking about the fact that he was Lower Moon Five, but he had forgotten that he had also organized a group of fake 'family members' on this spider mountain.
In the blink of an eye, Rui had already turned and left, and Takeshi had no choice but to follow.
Chasing all the way to another forest, Takeshi heard the sound of gurgling water; there should be a river nearby.
Rui was standing between two trees, and in the darkness, a tall figure appeared behind him.
"Father, I'll leave him to you. I'm going to see if Mother has taken care of things," Rui said these emotionless words, turning to disappear into the forest.
Takeshi opened his mouth, preparing to call out to Rui, but then he thought, he wouldn't stay obediently unless he eliminated these so-called 'family members' of his.
The big guy, a tall body, Takeshi estimated that he was two meters tall, his arms as thick as tree trunks, a face full of eyes, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
With a roar to the sky, he punched the ground, and the ground was hammered into a large pit.
"My family! No one can get close!"
Takeshi was slightly stunned. This guy's strength was too great; he could actually...
Seeing the huge fist about to approach his face, Takeshi jumped up from the ground, flipping his body, his feet lightly landing on his arm.
His other fist quickly swung towards the person on his arm.
Takeshi didn't dodge it and was sent flying by the punch, his body crashing into a tree trunk not far away.
"Cough, cough," he coughed, covering his chest. Fortunately, his body had been strengthened by the system; if anyone else had taken this punch, they would definitely cough up blood.
Standing up again, just now, he had been careless, thinking that he should be like the one in the forest before, big, strong, but relatively slow in speed.
He hadn't expected...
That's what had made him suffer.
Taking two deep breaths, letting himself relax, his hand tightly gripping the sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the approaching big guy.
"My family! You can't touch them!"
Takeshi snorted coldly. "Family? Are you guys family? This is just children playing house!" After finishing speaking, he quickly dodged the punch that was coming over.
His body leaping into the air, Total Concentration! Water Breathing! Second Form: Water Wheel.
