Chapter 23 Tanjiro!
Li Zhong said he wanted to try his luck, but in fact he was just wandering around.
When Yi Ti said he wanted to leave, he actually refused. Because if possible, he also wanted to follow the protagonist so that he could clearly understand where the main plot line was.
But Yi Ti doesn't think this is a good idea.
"If you follow the protagonist you are familiar with, then you will probably share the pressure on others. If the training they receive does not achieve the effect and they cannot achieve their due combat power in the later period, what should you do?" Yi Ti asked,
"If someone is the key to defeating the final boss, what are you going to do?"
When Yi Ti said this, Li Zhong touched the back of his head and said, "Probably...no way? To be honest, I was planning to kill the boss."
"Can you fight now?"
"...I can't beat you." Li Zhong said honestly, "But I can become stronger!"
"Then how can you become stronger?" Yi Ti continued to ask.
"...Continue to learn Astor's boxing..." Li finally understood what Yi Ti meant, and his voice suddenly dropped.
"But you have already learned the second part of Astor's boxing style that does not require magic power, and you have become proficient in it in the past few months. How do you want to become stronger next? I bet you don't use Astor
After learning all the first three forms of boxing, I will definitely not be able to defeat the boss!" Yi Ti said with a serious look on her face.
But Li Zhong didn't want to listen to her preaching. He quickly grabbed the conversation with a dry smile and said, "We'll talk about this later. We still have to deal with today's dinner first. Now that winter has entered, the prey that can be hunted is getting more and more.
It’s missing. If we don’t prepare it early, we won’t even have food tonight.”
He is walking around on the mountain now, and he doesn't know where he is. In short, he is just walking around.
These days, he has killed countless ghosts, including quite a few stronger ones, but he has never encountered a Twelve Ghost Moon like the Fourth of the Last Quarter.
Every day, he basically lived on the various fruits and wild beasts on the mountain. Wherever the fruits were delicious, he would stay there for a few more days. Where there were many wild beasts, he would hunt a few more.
Anyway, the weather is getting colder now, and at such temperatures, the shelf life of meat will be slightly longer.
However, because he met a group of little ghosts yesterday, which was more difficult, he spent a lot of energy and physical energy. In order to replenish his physical energy, he ate all the remaining meat.
It wasn't night yet, but it was getting close. For him, it was just getting up.
The clothes he is wearing now are the clothes of a resident of this world. He exchanged some pieces of meat for them with a family, and he also exchanged them for a piece of linen to wrap the sickle.
At least, it makes him less conspicuous when wandering around outside. He was wanted two months ago. There was a wanted order for him in the city over there, but the only thing that could be distinguished was the sickle. As long as
By wrapping the sickle, others can only see a big thing behind him, but they don't know what it is.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find wild animals and other things in the mountains. The most he can do is find some wild fruits or something to eat. But if he can find them, he will be considered lucky.
Some time ago, you could still see wild fruits everywhere on the trees and on the ground, but now, most of the fruits on the ground have rotted, the leaves on the trees are also falling, and there are basically no wild fruits on the bare branches.
.
"Tsk... This is going to be a bit troublesome." Li Zhong rubbed his head with a headache, "If even the fruit is gone, wouldn't it be the end?"
Yi Ti sneered and said: "I told you not to exchange for any linen. It's good for you to exchange for some grain. How much grain can you exchange for a piece of meat? Anyway, you don't walk in front of others. Just keep the sickle on. You
Are you still planning to give it the entire scabbard?"
"To be honest, I think the scabbard can be used to protect the blade." Li Zhong said.
"Unfortunately, for now, I haven't seen anything that can hurt it. Instead of thinking about protecting the blade, think about how you are going to live. It's night now and you have no money. Where are you going?
Get something to eat?”
This is what Li Zhong wanted to know. His eyes immediately looked at a place on the mountain. Over there, there was smoke and fire! It looked like there was a family over there.
Li Zhong rubbed his chin and said, "I think... the family over there should be preparing dinner now."
"You want to have a meal?" Yi Ti raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't you always refuse to go to other people's houses to have a meal? You changed your gender today?"
"Mainly sorry..."
Li Zhong had a naive smile on his face: "But now that we have no food, there is nothing we can do. The worst we can do is help their family work for a few days."
With that said, Li Zhong walked over.
But before he got close to that house, Li Zhong smelled something unusual... It was a wild beast! Li Zhong was very familiar with this smell!
In the past few months, in addition to dealing with ghosts, he had a lot of dealings with wild animals, such as wolves, snakes, bears, etc. If he was lucky enough to encounter wild boars, he could still enjoy the taste.
Nice pork.
"This smell...is that of a wolf!" Li Zhong's face suddenly became a little more serious.
He immediately jumped out, jumped into the tree, and moved quickly on the tree...
Soon, he saw the group of creatures he wanted to see.
More than ten adult wild wolves!
Moreover, these wolves were chasing a man, a man who was carrying a basket of firewood. He looked like he was no more than ten years old. He was a young man, wearing green plaid clothes and with reddish brown hair.
His running speed is not slow, especially when he is carrying a basket of firewood, he can still run at this speed, which is already very good among teenagers.
But that basket of firewood just became a hindrance to him. If he was willing to put down the firewood, he should be able to run faster.
Although I definitely can't outrun the wolf.
Wolves are wolves after all, and these are all adult, bloodthirsty wolves. They must have not eaten for a long time, so they venture into human activity areas in search of food.
The distance between the two sides is shortening at an alarming speed!
"Huh?" Li Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young man carefully while following.
The distance between the two sides is still a bit far. In this situation where it is already dark, if it were Li Zhong before, he would definitely not be able to see the boy clearly. Because he had become highly myopic during experiments in the past and now wears glasses.
It's gone, and what I saw must be high-definition.
But the Beastmaster's gene seems to have cured his myopia, making his eyesight extremely strong!
He can control the picture in his perspective at will, look at the boy from a distance, zoom in, zoom in, zoom in again! Every hair can be seen clearly!
"This boy... is the protagonist." Li Zhong immediately reacted, "Good guy! I came to the mountain where the protagonist lives!"
Yi Ti asked with great interest: "Is this the protagonist of the story set in this world? He is still a young man..."
"Just because he is still a teenager, he has great potential. And his ancestors have a lot of connection with the breathing method of the Demon Slayer Squad! Oh, he is really lucky." Li Zhong suddenly smiled. There was no one on the street.
If you are lucky enough, you will meet an amazing guy on the mountain.
Yi Ti crossed her arms to her chest and nodded: "Then do you want to save him?"
"I can save it or not. Anyway, I decided to kill the boss, so he is not the key. However, since this is the mountain where his home is located, it means that the house over there is his home. Save him and get him down.
There will definitely be no problem with the meal!" Li Zhong suddenly brought the sickle to him with great interest!
"In order to have enough to eat, this person must be saved!"
To be honest, Li Zhong couldn't remember the names of the protagonists, but as long as he recalled them a little, he could recall the appearance of the protagonists!
At this point, he rushed out!
...
Tanjiro is very unlucky, he is extremely unlucky.
He was born in a family that was not wealthy, and could even be said to be somewhat poor. There were several younger brothers and sisters in the family. As the eldest son, after his father died of a serious illness, he became the breadwinner of the family, cutting down trees and picking up trees every day.
Firewood is used to burn charcoal and then sold to households down the mountain.
This is also his family's largest source of income.
But today, when my mother and younger brothers and sisters were preparing to cook dinner at night, they discovered that all the firewood they were going to use for cooking had been accidentally burned into carbon by their younger brother.
In desperation, he had to go outside to collect firewood temporarily.
But he was extremely unlucky and met a pack of hungry wolves!
He is dead, there are no accidents, he is definitely dead!
He couldn't run fast while carrying firewood on his back. Even if he threw away the firewood, he couldn't get away from the wolves. Moreover, he couldn't run home, so he could only run into the mountains.
Now that my father has passed away, none of the younger brothers and sisters in the family have the ability to fight the wolf. If he is lured home, the whole family will definitely be destroyed!
"I'm sorry, dad... mom... I'm sorry, Nezuko, Hanako, Takeo... I'm sorry..."
Tanjiro was breathing heavily, but he didn't dare to stop. He wanted to take these wolves as far away as possible so that his younger brothers and sisters could be a little safer.
After making up his mind, he took off his backpack, his body suddenly became lighter, and he quickened his pace and ran towards the mountains.
There are more than ten wolves, and each one is an adult wolf with more meat and less meat. Tanjiro alone does not have enough meat to eat more than ten wolves!
Moreover, these wolves are not low in IQ. They do not follow Tanjiro all the time. Instead, they branch out and surround Tanjiro on both sides, hoping to directly surround and kill Tanjiro from both sides!
Tanjiro also noticed this. When he saw the wolves appearing on both sides, his face suddenly turned green...
It's over, it's all over now...
And a big face suddenly appeared in front of him... Li Zheng, wearing a single coat and trousers, with a giant scythe on his back, landed in front of Tanjiro, and smiled.
"Young man~ Very good!"
"Next, you can rest!"
