"Ahem...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A stinging sensation came from his throat due to thirst, and Shinichiro woke up from his coma.

【So hot!】

This is his most direct feeling after waking up.

He was lying on a hot ground at this time, and his skin would be evaporated immediately as soon as the sweat oozed out.

【Where is this? Am I taking a hot spring bath?】

【And where have my clothes gone…】

He noticed that he was not in a hurry, and even the bath towels used to wrap his lower body when he was in the hot spring disappeared.

Xian Yiro forced himself to cheer up and supported his body with his hands, and found that he was actually dark all over his body.

The only light source nearby is the strong red light emitted from the low walls around the distance, as if some kind of blood is circulating under it.

The ground not far away is exposed on the wall, with orange-red scars inside the rock body, and occasionally a burst of dark smoke will appear, accompanied by an annoying heat wave.

Under the ground, there were squeezing sounds like thunder from time to time, gurgling, terrifying.

Xianichiro smelled the scent of the fog and immediately felt a burning pain from his mouth and nose.

And the surging heat made him feel like his skin was about to crack.

【magma?】

He thought he had read it wrong.

But feelings don't deceive people.

Even the most vicious sun he has ever experienced, he can't do this.

[Where am I? Smoky Lake or Shiya Tunnel?]

Shinichiro's only understanding of the lava landforms comes from the two ruins of the games "Dark Souls" and "Devil Souls".

This is obviously inside a cave.

The burning and stench in the air made him almost unable to think carefully. Xianichiro stumbled dizzyly towards the dimmer inside the cave, but as soon as he entered the dark area that could not be covered by red light, he immediately tripped by something soft.

【Not a stone…】

Shinichiro's body just fell on the thing.

He reached out and groped, trying to find out.

"Is it a person?"

Although this person's skin is terrible, the shape of the bones is always correct.

Because the overall temperature in the cave was too high, Xianichiro could not even determine whether the other party was still alive by body temperature.

He had no choice but to use his strength to drag the man and move it to a place where the red rock wall could see it.

These senichiro saw clearly.

That was a man who opened his mouth and died with his eyes open.

Not only is the skin chapped, but the eyes are a little shriveled. It seems that they died because of the temperature and gas in the cave.

After all, I'm afraid few people can breathe for a long time here.

But this is not the most important thing.

"He is from the Demon Slayer!"

Xianyiro recognized this guy's outfit at a glance.

The dark uniform and silver reflective buttons are exactly the same as Murata.

[Could it be that I was caught here by ghosts like those missing ghost killers?]

【But, when I was in the hot spring, it was still in the morning... I remember feeling very comfortable at that time, and then...】

【I don't know anything!】

Shinichiro tried to recall what happened before, but that was the end.

The hot spring was shining directly by the sun, so he was not wary at all at that time, but on the contrary, he was very comfortable.

The hot spring had some magic power, which made him let go of all the burden in his heart.

But if there is any problem with the hot spring itself...

No wonder someone survives here!

Although the small hole was not enough to illuminate, Shinichiro still used it as a reference and quickly walked directly under it.

"Is it Murata?"

The time he asked was already approaching.

"Is it a ghost..."

The voice asked weakly, and the sound of drawing a sword came from.

Xianichiro knew that two kinds of lights were wrapped around him, and it was not surprising that he was considered a ghost. He stopped quickly, but at the same time he also put Tiezhao Lei in front of him just in case.

Although the sound sounds weak, human potential cannot be generalized.

"No, I'm a tourist coming to Xinshangquan Village for vacation. Are you from the Demon Slayer Team?"

"Then...why are you..."

Then why are you glowing all over?

Xianichiro naturally added the words he had not finished.

"Please believe me, this is just a secret technique."

Shinichiro said, trying to dispel the other party's vigilance: "I know the style butterfly of your ghost killing team, Kanae. We were originally together, but I was accidentally caught by the ghost."

"Hua...zhu, um..."

"If you believe me, please put the knife down. I still have medicine here to save you."

Xianichiro extracted all the remaining three pills at once.

He thought the remaining three were all here.

"Save him first..."

The man was silent for a while and suddenly said a relatively complete sentence.

After obtaining permission, Xianichiro quickly walked forward and found two people in team uniforms sitting shoulder to shoulder by the wall.

The guy who had the strength to open his eyes was a guy with scars on his face and his chest and his arms were exposed, while the teammate next to him had already lowered his head.

Perhaps because he saw Xian Ichiro clearly, Scarface finally felt relieved.

Just a child.

"Youping...someone came...to save us-"

He didn't even have the strength to turn his head and said to himself.

But his teammates did not respond.

Xianichiro reached out to the man's neck, and after about half a minute, he said with some regret: "He is already exhausted."

The silence lasted for a while.

The scar face showed no emotion, but just moved his throat with difficulty, and after a long time, he said: "Give me the medicine...give me..."

Xianichiro directly opened his mouth and stuffed the pills in.

"The medicinal power will melt itself, and it's okay if you don't need water."

He reminded him, let the man digest the medicine himself, and he explored the surroundings.

However, after walking around, he did not see Murata in the darkness.

There is no more hidden entrance in this small space.

"What a strange medicine."

Although it was still a little hoarse, the scar face was able to speak fluently under the green light.

"Are you two here?"

Seeing that he had improved, Xianichiro quickly asked, "Where is Murata? He should be with you too."

"Murada..."

Scarface stood up with the wall, "Sorry, I'm not very popular and don't know everyone's names. The one you mentioned may have died outside."

He seemed plain when he talked about sacrificing his teammates, but as a veteran, Shinichiro knew that he was just forcibly suppressing it.

"There are 9 outside and 2 inside, only Murata is not there."

Xianichiro felt like God was joking with him.
