"In the Field Spider Mountain, there is a powerful evil spirit that is suspected to be one of the 12 Demon Moon."
In the Lord's courtyard, Toshiya Yoshiaki said solemnly to [Water Pillar] Tomioka Yoshiaki and [Insect Pillar] Hu Dieren who were sitting in front of him.
"And that ghost seems to have other evil spirits as companions. The threat level is very high. So far, more than a dozen team members have been sent in, but there is no news."
"This time, I plan to let the two of you go to the Field Spider Mountain in person to get rid of this suspected 12 Demon Moon and his companions. Try to bring back the swordsmen who are still alive."
"I believe that if the two of you go, you will never let me down."
"Understood."
Ryuga stood outside the courtyard and gathered magical power in his ears. His powerful hearing made it easy for him to hear the conversation of the three people in the house.
A suspected 12 Demon Moon with several evil spirits as companions, this was a very rare phenomenon among creatures like ghosts.
If several ghosts acted together, not only would it be easier for the Ghost Killers to track them down, but it would also be a problem for them to distribute the captured humans. Since none of them could kill each other, they could only leave the matter unsettled and return to their own homes.
In view of this, creatures like ghosts rarely appeared in groups. Among all the ghosts that Ryuga had seen, except for the last time when the toad ghost was controlled, he had never encountered a situation where more than two ghosts appeared together.
"Creak!"
After the wooden door was opened, Hu Dieren and Tomioka Yoshiaki walked out of the house together.
Ryuga stopped eavesdropping and walked straight up under the gaze of the two.
"Miss Hu Dieren, can I go with you for this mission?"
"Ah, isn't this Kurami-kun?"
After Hu Dieren saw Ryuga, her signature gentle smile appeared on her face, making her look very cute. "If you are free, of course, I would like to. With your strength, if you go with us, you will be very reliable!"
"Thank you."
Ryuga once again thanked Hu Dieren with a polite attitude.
"In that case, let's make our own preparations and meet at the foot of the mountain."
Hu Dieren glanced at Tomioka Yoshihide. After seeing that he had no objections, she looked at Ryuga and suggested with a smile.
…
Moonlit night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling its cool moonlight onto the earth.
The Field Spider Mountain was not far from the headquarters of the Ghost Killers. Since they were rushing at full speed, it only took them a few hours to arrive at this place in the middle of the night.
There were a total of four people in the team. In addition to Ryuga, Tomioka Yoshihide, and Hu Die Ninja, there was also a girl.
The chestnut flower has fallen to the ground.
She was the girl that Ryuga had met during the final selection and at the Butterfly Hut. She had a side ponytail and was as graceful as a lotus flower. She used Flower's Breath and easily attracted butterflies.
When Ryuga was chatting with Hu Die Ninja, she knew that this girl was the stepson of [Insect Pillar]. Just like Ryuga was the stepson of [Flame Pillar], she also had a very high status in the Ghost Killers.
Because of Zhu's nurturing, her strength far surpassed Tan Zhilang and the others during the final selection. At that time, Liu Xia could only fight her to a draw even without using her full strength.
In fact, it wasn't just her, Hu Die Ninja also brought a lot of hidden members, but their speed was far less than the four of them, so they were still behind.
Because she learned from the Lord that many of her team members had entered the Spider Mountain and their lives were unknown, Hu Die Ninja mobilized these hidden members, intending to save the team members as much as possible after killing the evil spirits.
The reason why she brought Chestnut flower with them was simply that she was strong enough to be their helper.
In fact, because Ryuga had fought with both of them, she could judge that Chestnut flower's strength was not inferior to Hu Die Ninja, and her strength was close to that of Pillar.
It's just that she had just passed the final selection not long ago and became an official member. She didn't have many merits, so she couldn't be promoted to Pillar.
"Then, Kangami-kun, Titooka-san, let's enter the mountain from three directions and save as many members as possible."
"Okay."
Ryuga nodded, then walked into the Spider Mountain from the front.
"Kangami-kun is really impatient."
Hu Die Ninja covered her mouth and chuckled, then said to Tomioka Yoshihide and Chestnut flower, "Since Kangami-kun has already entered from the front, then I will go from the left, Titooka-san will go from the right, and Chestnut will go from the back to prevent the evil spirits from escaping."
Chestnut flower nodded silently and walked toward the back of the mountain.
"I know."
Tomioka Yoshihide spoke for the first time since they met. There was still no expression on his face. Unlike Ryuga's indifference, he seemed to be just a simple facial paralysis.
… …
Ryuga walked into the Spider Mountain. Even if his nose wasn't very sensitive, he could still smell the rotten smell of evil spirits in the mountain.
"It seems that there should be a lot of evil spirits."
Liu Xia thought to herself as she leaped up to the top of a tree. She used her enhanced Futuristic Vision to observe the situation in the mountains.
The Spider Mountain wasn't big, but it was nearly a few kilometers in radius. Ryuga now has the vision to see the whole area within a kilometer. Although he can't see clearly beyond a kilometer, at least he can still see things like trees falling down.
If there was a fight between the Ghost Killer Team and the evil spirits, it should cause some movement that can be seen by Ryuga.
"Got it, over there."
At a certain moment, Liu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly. Then, she leaped up from the branch and dashed in the direction she saw with her extremely nimble body.
The possibility of Man-eating Evil Ghosts appearing in groups was very low, so Liu Xia cherished this opportunity very much. She was almost running at full speed. In the darkness of the night, she looked like a ghost flashing by. Even her shadow could not be seen clearly.
Although Lamenting Yu Xingming's swordsmanship wasn't suitable for Ryuga, he was after all the strongest swordsman in the Ghost Killer Team. If he could practice with him, Ryuga would be able to improve his swordsmanship and his breathing technique.
That was why Liu Xia was racing against time to enter the mountain. She wanted to kill as many evil spirits as possible and get a chance to spar with Yu Xingming.
More than a kilometer away.
It was nearly two meters tall. Although it still had human limbs, its appearance was as ugly as a spider's as it stood on the river.
In its arms was a giant tree that was at least three people thick. It hit Tanji Jiro, who was carrying a box, like a baseball, and sent him flying a few hundred meters.
