"Hey!" Bai Ye looked at the two Demon Slayers and said, "I remember, cutting off their heads can kill demons, right?"
The Demon Slayer with a scar on his forehead froze for a moment, then shouted across the small stream, "Yes, but please be careful, his body is very hard, and his neck is not so easily severed."
While Bai Ye was asking, the Spider Demon had already stood up again, but it didn't charge directly at Bai Ye. Instead, it began to run in circles around Bai Ye.
Bai Ye grinned. Father seemed to be a little smarter than brother, but it made sense. After all, he was the father, and his strength was the strongest besides Lower Moon Five.
"But..." Bai Ye sighed, "a person who is good at close combat, when forced to be unable to engage in close combat, is already a failure!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he reached out his hand forward.
A golden light screen rippled behind Bai Ye, followed by more and more golden light screens appearing.
Gate of Babylon!
Weapons appeared in the ripples and shot towards the Spider Demon.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The flying weapons chased the Spider Demon, constantly creating pits on the ground, and in an instant, mud and rocks flew.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. The Gate of Babylon was quite useful, but...
Having witnessed the Gate of Babylon of Gilgamesh, Bai Ye felt ashamed when he looked at his own. They were completely different things.
However, Bai Ye's goal had been achieved.
The purpose of Bai Ye firing weapons was to force a position, luring the Spider Demon to where he had already completed the positioning.
Then...
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared right in front of the Spider Demon.
The next moment, the Nanming Lihuo Sword swept out, slashing towards the Spider Demon's neck.
Clang!
The Spider Demon reacted quickly, raising its arm immediately, and then a crisp metallic clanging sound rang out.
The Spider Demon blocked the Nanming Lihuo Sword with its arm, but...
Suddenly, the blade of the Nanming Lihuo Sword glowed brightly.
The sword body suddenly turned into a long rainbow, and then...
Pfft!
The sound of flesh being torn echoed, and a large amount of blood exploded from the Spider Demon's arm.
"Die!"
Bai Ye roared and exerted force again.
The long rainbow that the Nanming Lihuo Sword had turned into cut off the Spider Demon's arm and then swept across its neck, and then...
The head flew off!
Along with a splash of blood, the Spider Demon's head was cut off by Bai Ye's sword and flew into the sky.
"You have defeated the Spider Demon Father of the Spider Demon family, completing Restriction Zone Mission One (Temporary)."
"This kill can be transferred."
After killing the Spider Demon, Bai Ye reached out and wiped the blood from his sword, then walked towards the two Demon Slayers.
The Demon Slayer with the scar on his forehead looked very polite, bowed to Bai Ye, and then said, "Hello, I am Kamado Tanjiro. Are you also a Demon Slayer? Is the reinforcement here?"
"Me? You can consider me an external staff member?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "Our purpose is the same, to kill demons."
Kamado Tanjiro nodded and said, "Thank you for your help..."
"Don't!" Bai Ye quickly stopped him, "I was just passing by and happened to chop that guy. I didn't know you were here, so it doesn't count as helping."
He didn't want these two to consider him as having saved them.
Bai Ye actually knew them, given his memories from his previous life.
Kamado Tanjiro's breathing technique was Water Breathing, and the other one wearing a boar mask was called Agatsuma Zenitsu, who used Beast Breathing.
Their breathing techniques were no worse than Hashibira Inosuke's. Inosuke's Beast Breathing was an improved extension of Wind Breathing, and its rarity was higher than the five great basic breathing techniques.
As for Kamado Tanjiro, besides Water Breathing, one of the five great basic breathing techniques, he also had the Hinokami Kagura's Sun Breathing, and a very rare mixed breathing technique.
However, often, strength doesn't mean being good; it means being suitable.
Although Beast Breathing enhanced physical attributes, it required a wild nature, and not everyone could unleash its power.
Kamado Tanjiro's Sun Breathing was very powerful, but according to Bai Ye, it required completing hidden quests to learn all the forms, which was very troublesome.
As for mixed breathing...
It required knowing two breathing techniques to use.
Therefore, the only one that could be used directly was Water Breathing.
Besides, Bai Ye couldn't be sure which breathing technique would be randomly assigned to Kamado Tanjiro, so it was more suitable for him to steadily obtain the Thunder Breathing.
Bai Ye didn't give the two of them a chance to thank him, lest he be considered as having saved them. He immediately said, "Have you seen any other Spider Demons, especially..."
Bai Ye gestured below his chest with his hand.
"A short Spider Demon, about chest height or lower," Bai Ye said, "It should be the youngest child in the Spider Demon family, the smallest one."
Kamado Tanjiro and Inosuke looked at each other, and then said, "We saw a female Spider Demon earlier, on the outskirts of Natagumo Mountain. She killed many of our teammates. We haven't seen the short Spider Demon you're talking about."
After Kamado Tanjiro finished speaking, he pondered for a moment.
"We were ordered to eliminate demons," Kamado Tanjiro said. "Other Demon Slayer Corps members arrived before us and met with misfortune. Judging by their routes, they should have been heading towards the forest on the mountaintop."
Inosuke said indifferently, "Anyway, the Twelve Kizuki has been killed. The remaining ones won't be powerful characters. Let this great me chop them all."
Bai Ye said, "Who said the one on the ground was a Twelve Kizuki?"
Kamado Tanjiro was surprised, "Wasn't he one of the Lower Moon demons?"
"No," Bai Ye said, "The little one I'm talking about is."
Bai Ye said, looking around.
In his previous life, Bai Ye was chased by a Spider Demon on Natagumo Mountain. The ones chasing him were the Spider Demon's brother and father, which was why Bai Ye could accurately know their locations.
As for the other three Spider Demons, Bai Ye had only seen the Spider Demon's sister, who should be in the area of the eastern mountain hollow.
However, the Spider Demon Kamado Tanjiro mentioned was at the mountain entrance, a certain distance from the mountain hollow, and should be the Spider Demon's mother.
In that case...
Bai Ye calculated in his mind. Starting from the mountain entrance, excluding the areas where the three Spider Demons he knew were located, the remaining route...
It was naturally the area where Lower Moon was located!
"Thank you!" Having obtained the information he wanted, Bai Ye nodded to Kamado Tanjiro and Inosuke and said, "Leave the rest to me."
