The fingernails on this hand were like sharp, short blades, gleaming coldly under the moonlight.
Even with just one glance, the Holy Son of Ao could sense the terrifying power contained within it.
Not to mention its use, this hand had previously broken a tree that was about the same thickness as its own waist with a single blow.
"Holy Son, come back quickly!"
Just then, the urgent shouts from Igarashi Ten reached Oku Seiko's ears.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Holy Son of Ao retreated quickly.
The cannibal that attacked the Holy Son naturally wouldn't let go of its prey, and chased after it with a strange howl.
In the eyes of Igarashi Ten and the others, the cannibal was moving incredibly fast, constantly closing the distance between itself and the Holy Son.
Naturally, they also saw the terrifying appearance of the cannibals that were chasing the Holy Son.
Fear arose spontaneously at this moment.
"That's a cannibal!?"
"How scary, how terrifying!!"
"With such power and speed, can humanity truly defeat them?"
.......
The three boys in the group were terrified by the cannibal, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their minds blank, unable to think.
Although Ten Igarashi felt fear and her body was trembling, she was still able to think.
Igarashi Ten knew that, given the speed at which Osaka Seiko and the cannibals were moving, Osaka Seiko would be caught up and attacked by the cannibals before she could retreat into the temporary protective circle they had set up with wisteria flowers.
Igarashi Tenya knew that at this moment, he should step forward and do something.
However, Ten Igarashi was unable to control his body, feeling as if it were filled with molten lead, making him feel incredibly heavy.
Fear, helplessness, resentment, anger and other emotions surfaced in Igarashi Ten's heart, and ultimately transformed into Igarashi Ten's belief and will.
Supported by this belief and will, Igarashi Ten began to mutter, "Move, move, move..."
The murmurs gradually grew louder, eventually turning into roars and howls.
"My body, get moving!!!"
Amidst the roars and howls, Igarashi Ten suddenly ran towards Okusei, simultaneously throwing the package full of wisteria flowers that she was clutching tightly at the cannibal chasing Okusei.
The next moment, under the moonlight, a beautiful rain of wisteria blossoms fell over the heads of the Holy Child and the cannibal.
The sudden rain of wisteria blossoms disgusted, angered, and agitated the cannibal, causing it to abruptly stop and quickly retreat away from the area covered by the wisteria blossoms.
Thanks to Igarashi Ten's actions, Oku Seiko successfully pursued the cannibal and safely retreated into the temporary protective circle set up by the wisteria flowers.
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the cannibal turned around, picked up the broken tree, and walked back.
Then, to the disbelief and horror of Igarashi and his group, the cannibal suddenly grabbed the broken tree and swung it around, creating a fierce gust of wind that blew away the wisteria flowers on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Igarashi Ten was greatly shocked and shouted, "Run! Go back to the wisteria field!"
Upon hearing this, the cannibal sneered and said, "Run? You actually think you can run? You're dreaming."
As he spoke, the cannibal threw the tree branch in his hand at Igarashi Ten and the others, blocking their retreat, and roared, "You are all my prey, none of you will escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannibal suddenly charged towards Igarashi Ten and the others.
Seeing this, the Holy Son stepped forward, a resolute look appearing on his still-childish face, and said, "I'll buy you time, you all run away quickly!"
This was the best choice in the eyes of the Holy Son, because he was the strongest among the group.
However, what the Holy Son of Oku didn't expect was that, apart from himself and Ten Igarashi, the other three boys in the group had already been terrified and were already slumped on the ground, unable to move.
As for Ten Igarashi, he silently took the last wisteria flower package from one of the boys' hands.
Immediately, Igarashi Ten stood in front of the Holy Son, looking at the monstrous cannibal who had suddenly appeared and said, "Holy Son, you left on your own."
"You are our hope. Your stage is in the future, not here to be buried."
Without hesitation, Igarashi Ten threw the wisteria flower bundle in his hand at the cannibal again, blocking its path once more.
Okusei was stunned. Looking at the back of Igarashi Ten in front of him, he felt a special warmth and a sense of security, just like... the back of his father.
A warm current flowed through his heart, and this warmth moistened the eyes of the Holy Son.
Without hesitation, and without betraying Igarashi Ten's wishes, Oku Seiko turned around and was about to flee.
But just as the Holy Son turned around, he saw another cannibal leap out of the forest, emitting strange laughter.
And this was just the beginning. More and more cannibals emerged from the forest, staring at the few humans with hungry and bloodthirsty expressions.
Despair spread at that moment.
Even the Holy Son of Ao collapsed to the ground, powerless, his once resolute eyes now empty and lifeless.
At that very moment, a ray of light pierced through the despair, transforming into a warm voice that said, "Thankfully, we arrived in time..."
The next moment, those warm words changed, transforming into a powerful statement: "Leave the rest to me!"
......
Chapter 481: With a body of their own, they write a legend! (Please subscribe!)
This light shining into despair naturally drew the attention of those trapped in despair.
In their eyes, what appeared was a handsome young man, dressed in moon-colored robes, with an extraordinary temperament, like a celestial being descended to earth.
This young man was none other than Chen Anxia.
After the experiment ended, Chen Anxia continued to explore Tengxi Mountain.
This time, Chen Anxia found the Nichirin Blade without any problems.
Moreover, Chen Anxia found two Nichirin swords at once.
Although both Nichirin swords were rusty, and one of them was even broken in the middle, becoming a broken blade, it did not change the fact that they were Nichirin swords.
After finding the Nichirin Blade, Chen Anxia estimated the time and knew that the two cannibals who had fainted at the experimental site were still not clear.
Therefore, Chen Anxia planned to return to the experimental site and use the blood of the two cannibals to sharpen the Nichirin Blade he had just found.
At the same time, Chen Anxia also wanted to test and collect data on how to cut the neck of a man-eating demon with a Nichirin Blade.
For example, how much force to use, from which position to strike, whether there are any weaknesses in the neck, and the method of applying the least force to cut the neck, etc.
This data and information will undoubtedly help Chen Anxia complete his mission in the world, so it is essential.
Just as Chen Anxia returned to the experimental site and was about to begin testing and collecting data, he heard Igarashi Ten's roar and howl.
The sound made Chen Anxia's expression change drastically.
Chen Anxia really didn't expect that after he, as a beta tester, warned of the dangers of this world, there would still be players who would be reckless and venture deep into Tengxi Mountain in the dark of night.
However, Chen Anxia did not hesitate. He immediately used his lightning-fast movement technique and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, intending to act according to his abilities.
Chen Anxia is neither a saint nor so great as to sacrifice herself to save others.
Therefore, it would be best to save them if possible within Chen Anxia's capabilities, but if he couldn't, he would abandon these reckless players without hesitation.
Ultimately, Chen Anxia had no obligation to save them.
Moreover, their current predicament is a result of their own choices; they have sown the seeds of their own actions, and naturally, they will reap the corresponding consequences.
Chen Anxia never expected that he would witness the first glimmer of human courage, composing a final, tragic song.
Naturally, Chen Anxia couldn't help but admire the protagonists, Oku Seiko and Igarashi Ten, who were playing this final tragic song.
Chen Anxia knew that in a dark and tragic world like Demon Slayer, only humans with courage like Oku Seiko and Igarashi Ten were qualified to become the pillars supporting the future of humanity.
Even if they lack the strength, they can still shine in other areas.
This also aroused Chen Anxia's interest in talent.
Chen Anxia knew that no matter how strong a person is, there will always be limitations.
In the world of Detective Conan, the more this was the case, the more Chen Anxia realized that even though his individual combat strength had reached the limit in the world of Detective Conan, it was still not enough. That's why he formed the Silver Bullet player organization.
Therefore, after basically figuring out the strength of ordinary man-eating demons in "Demon Slayer", Chen Anxia had the idea of forming a player organization.
Although players in this world cannot exit the game, they can communicate without barriers within the thought network.
This is equivalent to an intelligence network connecting all players in this world, and it is an intelligence network that can communicate in real time.
In the world of Demon Slayer, where communication is underdeveloped, this ability, if used well, would undoubtedly be a powerful weapon.
Moreover, the arrival of players in this world will inevitably affect the development of this world's timeline.
This means that the original plot in Chen Anxia's memory is no longer guaranteed to happen.
In this situation, Chen Anxia needs this intelligence network even more.
In addition, according to Chen Anxia's speculation, there is a hidden mission in this world...
Of course, neither Oku Seiko nor Igarashi Ten knew what Chen Anxia was thinking.
At this moment, both Oku Seiko and Igarashi Ten were still stunned and dumbfounded as they stared at Chen Anxia, who had suddenly appeared. Their minds were blank, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
As for the other three teenagers, their hopeful eyes dimmed the moment they saw Chen Anxia's youthful face.
In their view, the cannibals that could easily shake trees and stir up storms were far beyond the capabilities of a boy like Chen Anxia.
No, it's probably something that ordinary humans can't handle.
Even if Chen Anxia is stronger than the Holy Son of Ao, so what? Facing such a monster, there is absolutely no chance of victory.
Perhaps only the Ghost Hunter, as mentioned by that mysterious beta tester, is capable of dealing with such a monster.
They desperately hoped that this time it would be a demon hunter, but clearly, Chen Anxia was not a demon hunter.
The reason they knew Chen Anxia wasn't a demon hunter was because they noticed him when they first arrived in this world and knew he was a player just like them.
Despair descended upon me once more.
Their thoughts raced; from the moment hope arose to the moment despair returned, only a few breaths had passed.
In the short span of time, the ogres surrounding them had already rushed forward impatiently, wanting to tear them apart and devour them.
A series of eerie, savage, excited, and bloodthirsty cries followed.
