The {Hand Demon} hated Sakonji Urokodaki so much because he was imprisoned on Mount Fujikasane thanks to Sakonji Urokodaki.
When it had just become a {demon} not long ago, the {Hand Demon} was captured alive by Sakonji Urokodaki and brought back to Mount Fujikasane. It became the "examiner" for the final selection on Mount Fujikasane. Because of its resentment, the {Hand Demon} had eaten many young men who came to participate in the final selection on Mount Fujikasane, including Sakonji Urokodaki's early disciples.
Because of this, the {Hand Demon} became the strongest {demon} on Mount Fujikasane and lived to this day.
"Tonight, all {demons} will go out with me to exterminate that little demon! We'll wipe out this selection group." The {Hand Demon} immediately issued an order to all the {demons} gathered there to encircle Ryuji.
"Long live the {Hand Demon} Lord!"
"Long live the {Hand Demon} Lord!"
"Long live the {Hand Demon} Lord!"
Cheers from all the demons echoed in the underground cave, which was more than ten meters deep.
Ryuji, who was eating dry rations under the shade of a tree, didn't know that his actions had already caused the {demons} on Mount Fujikasane to resent him. He had become the target of their encirclement.
At this time, Ryuji was still waiting for nightfall to continue completing the mission assigned to him by the system.
Tanjiro, on the other hand, was searching for Ryuji, unaware that his actions were slowly bringing danger closer to him.
Nightfall
Ryuji, leaning against the shade of a tree, opened his eyes and stood up.
The Super Dimensional Transmigration System's radar small map had also appeared. Ryuji didn't see any red dots on the map. He guessed that the {demons} would still need some time before they came out to be active.
Tanjiro, on the other hand, had been going deeper into Mount Fujikasane, mistakenly believing that Ryuji was deep in the mountain to kill demons. He didn't know that Ryuji had been resting in the safe area marked with water ripple marks after killing the demons that night and hadn't chosen to go deeper into Mount Fujikasane.
Therefore, Tanjiro and Ryuji were completely separated.
"Tanjiro, do you think Senior Ryuji is deliberately hiding from us? We've been looking for him for a whole day, and we still haven't found him! What if we encounter a demon later?" Zenitsu complained, feeling tired.
Tanjiro's expression was solemn. He didn't answer Zenitsu's words. Until it got dark and they still hadn't found Ryuji, Tanjiro began to doubt that his decision might have been wrong.
If he went so deep into Mount Fujikasane, would he be able to handle any accidents?
Just as he was doubting himself, Tanjiro's nose smelled a very strong scent. This scent was the scent of a {demon}.
"Something's wrong!" Tanjiro said in a deep voice.
As soon as Tanjiro spoke, Zenitsu immediately hugged him tightly and shouted, "Tanjiro! You're going to scare me to death!"
Tanjiro was a bit helpless, but he was already used to Zenitsu's reaction, so instead, he carefully sniffed the scent. He discovered that the source of the scent was rapidly approaching their location.
As the scent got closer, it became extremely complex. It wasn't the scent of just one {demon}, but of many {demons}.
"Run down the mountain!" Tanjiro shouted immediately. He couldn't hesitate for a moment. His sense of danger made him make a decisive decision.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could move, several dark figures leaped out from the trees, blocking their path.
