Chapter 660 The surprising yellow-haired boy
In addition to Tanjiro, Fusugawa Genya, Kanago, and my wife Zenitsu, there are two other women and one man who chose to participate in the final selection this time.
One of them, a man and a woman, is a disciple of Yinzhu Yuzhu Tianyuan, and the other woman is a disciple of Lianzhu Ganlu Temple Mili.
The moment these seven people chose to participate in the "final selection", they had actually passed the assessment.
"Tanjiro Kamado, Kannago Rakurihana, and Genya Fusugawa, judging from the decisiveness and courage they have shown before, they should become the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps sooner or later in the future.
So this time you will be responsible for the three of them, and the remaining four will be left to me. "
Ye Cheng did not solve Xingshou Lang's request for division of labor. After all, there were only three people on his side.
And it's not the existence that he needs to worry about, but the four people on Anjuro's side. Wanting to protect them secretly is probably a tiring job.
Xingjuro was as good a guy as ever, so Ye Cheng naturally had no reason to solve it.
So after nodding to each other, Ye Cheng and Anjuro disappeared at the same time.
In the vine-striking mountain, Tanjiro looked at the gloomy and dim surroundings in front of him, and his purpose was quite clear.
The two little girls also said before that the purpose of this "final selection" is survival.
Although it is difficult for sunlight to reach this part of Tengshi Mountain, as long as you go to the easternmost part of the mountain, you can still get sunlight in the early morning.
It is not an easy thing to survive in the Vine Raid Mountain for seven days, and it is even more impossible to fight for seven days and seven nights.
So in order to pass the assessment, Tanjiro already had a clear plan in mind.
Fight the cannibals at night and try to avoid their pursuit, and go to the easternmost part of the mountain to wait for the sunrise during the day.
Fighting at night and repairing during the day, only in this way can he keep his physical fitness in the best condition.
And this assessment is actually quite beneficial to him.
Because he, Tanjiro, has an extremely keen sense of smell, they can capture the scent of cannibals even if they are very far apart.
With this advantage, it was much easier for him to avoid the cannibal's pursuit than for others.
The time limit for the final selection was seven days, but only the first night had passed, and two of the seven people who chose to participate in the final selection were the first to leave.
The final selection does not prohibit the examiners from working together. In fact, the two disciples of Yinzhu, who acted together from the beginning, obviously have an advantage over others.
Unfortunately, their luck was quite bad.
Because they act together, they have a greater aura of strangers together and are more likely to be targeted by cannibals in the mountains.
So on the first night, this man and woman encountered a cannibal who could control their hair using vampire magic, and almost died because of it.
And just when the snake-like hair tightly bound the two of them, and the cannibal on the other side was grinning and shooting hair like steel needles at them, a dazzling flame suddenly appeared in the darkness.
"The Breath of Flame - the shape of Si, the meandering of Shengyan!"
Orange-red flames exploded in the darkness, and the scorching heat instantly caused the surrounding temperature to rise instantly.
The boys and girls who originally thought they were about to throw themselves into the street soon saw the steel needles shooting towards their hair, and when they touched the suddenly rising flame barrier, they were instantly turned into ashes. After getting rid of the predicament of the boy and girl, Anjuro did not wave his hands, but once again clenched the Nichirin sword in his hand and made a sprinting gesture.
The flames erupted in the next second, and Anjuro's body was like a rocket, leaving an afterimage of flames directly in the dark night.
The long-haired ghost, who had not yet reacted at all, discovered that there was a big hole in his body when Anjuro flew past him, and the wound was still burning with scorching flames.
"Breath of Fire - One Type·Shiranui!"
The time that passed from Anjuro's rescue to the moment he killed the opponent was not even a few seconds.
When the two disciples of the sound pillar reacted, they already saw Purgatory Anjuro smiling heartily at them.
Looking at the Flame Pillar that suddenly appeared in front of them, while sighing at the strength of the Flame Pillar, the boy and the girl were also quite confused. It seemed that they didn't know why Pillar from the Demon Slayer Squad appeared in the final selection assessment.
"I hope you're all right. Although it's a pity, your assessment is over. I will be responsible for taking you down the mountain next."
After hearing Anjuro's words, the two of them also looked disappointed.
The final selection had to survive for seven days, but they didn't expect that they were eliminated on the first day.
But they have nothing to complain about. After all, it would be nice to be able to save their lives. You must know that the final selection in previous years did not have such treatment.
"Don't run around after you come down the mountain. After all other people's assessments are completed, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and ranking on you.
However, although your performance just now is remarkable, because you were eliminated too early, you will probably be ranked at the bottom. "
The teenagers and girls who originally looked disappointed were obviously stunned for a moment when they heard Xingshou Lang's words at this moment, and then asked in confusion: "Master Yanzhu, haven't we been eliminated? Why..."
"It is true that you were eliminated, but when did I say that you did not pass the final selection?
You have already passed the selection from the very beginning when you were asked to make a choice.
Nowadays, the intensity of the cannibals in Fujisui Mountain means that even a regular member of the Demon Slayer Corps may not be able to survive for seven days.
For you assessors, it is an "impossible selection", so from the beginning, this was not the meaning of this selection. "
Xingjuro's words directly made the young and girls overjoyed. They never expected that things would take such a turn.
I had already given up, but I didn’t expect that they had already passed the assessment.
As for rankings and results, they no longer care about it at the moment. After all, they are already lucky compared to those who gave up midway.
On the second day of the assessment, Mitsuri's disciples were also eliminated. From then on, among the four people Anjuro was in charge of, only the yellow-haired boy Zenitsu Gazuma remained.
To be honest, Anjuro and Anjuro were not optimistic about the yellow-haired boy Zenitsu Zenituma at first. They even felt that his weak character was not suitable for joining the Demon Slayer Corps. It was only a matter of time before he would be eliminated.
However, Xingjulang, who secretly observed and protected him, soon discovered that this yellow-haired boy was actually a talent.
Every time he loses consciousness, he seems to enter another state, exerting amazing strength without being conscious, and even directly kills a very powerful cannibal!
Although there was only one move to go back and forth, at that moment, the speed shown by Zenitsu Zenitsu surprised even Anjuro.
