Chapter 33 Choice(1/2)
"There's no way out here."
Genichiro carefully inspected the small ventilation room again.
He had some doubts that this place was specially designed by the ghost, otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence.
The small "skylight" above their heads was at least five meters high from the ground. Even if they could reach it, Genichiro couldn't turn into a bug and get out from there.
"Don't say those depressing words, boy named Wei Ming."
Perhaps due to the gradual recovery of his body's functions, Saneya Immortal's speech became more direct and rough.
The previous politeness to his savior was also forgotten by him.
With a cold face, he helped his teammate You Ping's body to the side of the narrow tunnel, and then pushed the latter out like threading a needle.
"Go back to that hellish place."
"As long as Mr. Immortal Sichuan has the strength, he will never sit back and let that ghost who doesn't even dare to show his face get complacent!"
He punched the wall hard.
At this time, the effects of the medicine on both of them had ended, and the green light had disappeared.
The manic breathing of the Immortal River is almost like the evil wind in the desert at night whistling through the ruins, which makes people shudder.
For a moment, Genichiro didn't know whether he was right or wrong in saving this man.
However, in a place like this, one more person is better than one less person.
Jiulang always told him that if he was responsible for everything alone, he would make irreversible decisions under tremendous pressure.
Although Genichiro is not used to relying on others, he is fully aware of his own shortcomings.
Maybe there is a reason why God left this person here.
"It's poisonous outside, please wait."
Genichiro walked over in the dark, using the other person's breathing as a reference. It wasn't difficult, but every step he took was like approaching an angry bear.
"This is fire-extinguishing powder, which allows you to withstand high temperatures for a period of time without being ignited by ordinary flames."
He stuffed the packet of fire-extinguishing powder into Immortal Sichuan's left hand, and then stuffed a pill into the latter's right hand.
Genichiro clearly felt that when he touched this person's skin, he seemed to be very resistant, as if he didn't like to come into close contact with others.
"This is a pill, the one I just gave you. It can restore your... physical strength."
Immortal River was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about how great it would be if such supplies were available earlier.
In the darkness, Immortal Sichuan finally spoke up and asked, "How many of these do you still have?"
"There is only one pack of fire extinguishing powder."
Genichiro regretted a bit. Yesterday he used a pack in the hot spring just to waste time. After all, he never thought that ghosts from the underworld could use fire-related powers.
"There are two more pills left."
"Give it all to me!"
Immortal River spoke decisively and fiercely, with no intention of discussion at all.
Genichiro's first reaction was, "You actually want to snatch something that belongs to your savior?"
Even I, Disi Yilang, can't do this.
"What?"
"I said give it all to me!"
Immortal River accurately grabbed Genichiro's collar in the darkness and almost lifted the latter into the air.
"You are just a little ghost. What's the use of going out? Even if you find a way out and meet a ghost, you will only be a drag on me!"
"Wait for me here. Give me all the medicine. If I kill that ghost, I will naturally bring people back to you."
Immortal Sichuan paused, "If I hadn't come back, you wouldn't have to suffer outside. There is You Ping's knife here, you can..."
"...Kill yourself."
Immortal River's voice trembled with excitement, surging back and forth in the small space, "In short, if the worst happens, no matter how you die, it is better than being eaten by a ghost!"
"As for facing that ghost, it's enough for me alone."
"Instead of wasting that precious medicine on you, why not give it all to me."
Hearing this, Genichiro, who had already started to gather energy for the kowtow combo punch, immediately relaxed.
He vaguely understood that this terrifying-looking young man just didn't want him to die.
He originally thought that having a butterfly Kanae in the world was ridiculous enough. That woman was so kind that it was annoying, she acted like a mother-in-law, and she also liked to talk about principles.
Although the guy in front of me is disliked at first sight, he is hard to dislike.
The people of these Demon Slayer Squads look different in how they do things, but there is not much difference in their ideas.
It's just that he wants to make decisions for others too much, which is really hard for Genichiro to bear.
Genichiro pinched Fusukawa's wrist. The strength of 10 points frightened Fusukawa. He subconsciously loosened his hand a little. Genichiro also took this opportunity to break free and immediately took a step back.
"I don't want to go out either, but that ghost and I already have a grudge to the death."
The belt given to him by Warabihime, which was the first gift Genichiro received after he came to this world, has also disappeared.
Besides, the missing Murata might have been taken away by ghosts for dinner alone for some special reason.
Although Genichiro wanted to use up to 110,000 reputation points immediately, he always felt that doing so would be a big loss without seeing Murata's body.
Genichiro lowered his body and decided to go to the lava cave before the Immortal River.
"What's more, as the saying goes: there is glory in death, but no shame in life."
"Rather than becoming a ghost's dinner, staying here and waiting to die is more unacceptable."
"Thank you for considering me, but I would rather die with my body intact than hide here."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Fusigawa's reaction and went over on his own.
Undead Saneya didn't expect this child to have such awareness. He was stunned on the spot for a moment, and then immediately followed.
The two returned to the dark area of the lava cave, and the disgusting smell of sulfur and heat waves immediately hit them, foreshadowing the difficulties ahead.
They kept silent in a tacit understanding until they followed the red light and came to the place closest to the lava road.
It was at this time that Immortal River discovered that this unusual child was actually carrying a huge sword.
Under the red light, the sword showed its cold light, and it was definitely not an ordinary knife at first glance.
However, now is not the time to inquire about gossip and satisfy curiosity.
This dim lava road has no end in sight, and neither the Immortal River nor Genichiro is sure whether there is really a way out there.
Genichiro walked to the place where he had cut the clothes before and picked up the half of the trousers left there.
"I heard Murata say that the uniforms of your Demon Slayer Squad are specially made."
Genichiro broke the silence and balled up his trousers.
Immortal Sichuan tugged on his collar, "I don't know much about this, but ordinary flames cannot ignite the team uniforms."
"Um……"
Genichiro threw his trousers from a distance and threw them on the lava ground like a festering wound.
"Now is the time to verify this."
The black cloth fell on the ground and there was no reaction at first. Although Fusukawa knew it was not the right time, he was still proud of the Demon Slayer uniform.
However, before he could laugh, the black cloth suddenly turned violently into a ball of red flame, and then became part of the lava ashes.
"hiss--"
The two of them took a breath of sulfur gas.
"If it were a human being, if he forced himself over it, he would be cooked in a few seconds."
Genichiro was relatively calm.
But Immortal River was not so calm.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" He roared and smashed the rock pillar next to him.
After finally being saved, are we going to be trapped in this place again and find it difficult to move forward?
After being annoyed for a while, Immortal River suddenly asked: "If I use the fire extinguishing powder you gave me, can I get over here?"
Genichiro pondered for a while: "If we can step on something, the fire extinguishing powder should be enough to withstand the rising heat wave and set us on fire. But if we rely on our feet..."
He didn't finish his words, and Fusushichuan naturally understood what he meant.
He looked left and right, suddenly pulled out the sun blade and slashed it sideways at the stone pillar in front of him!
"Breath of Wind·Two Type·Claw·Koto Wind!"
Genichiro was surprised to see that with the blow from the Immortal River, four shallow sharp sword energies appeared out of thin air, ruthlessly scraping four deep wounds on the rock.
