Chapter 17 Awakening, Resting
When Xuan Fang woke up again, he found that he had arrived at the Butterfly House, which was also a resting point close to the Demon Slayer Headquarters.
"Wake up, wake up!!"
"Lord Butterfly! That person has woken up!"
Xuan Fang was lying on the hospital bed, feeling that all the bones in his body were groaning and he could not move at all.
I smiled bitterly in my heart. If this injury was not systematic, it would take a long time for me to recover. Even if I rely on breathing techniques to increase the recovery speed, I am afraid the effect will be quite limited.
Not long after, Butterfly Ninja came and asked with a smile: "You woke up so soon. It seems that your injury is fine."
How can you tell that I don't have any problem?
Xuan Fang didn't say anything, and Butterfly Ninja said to himself: "Actually, I was also there at the time, but now that you have killed all the demons in Tengxi Mountain, it will be very difficult for us to continue to select the demon slaying team."
"The cost of raising a raven isn't higher than training a demon slayer, right? Hiss!"
Relying on the head of the bed for support with his left arm, Xuan Fang reluctantly straightened his upper body.
"Um?"
Butterfly Ren couldn't understand what he meant. As the location of the trial, Fujirai Mountain is very important for the training of demon slayer team members.
And being responsible for catching ghosts requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources.
"More than twenty people go in, and four or five who survive are considered too many. Is this also called selection?"
Xuan Fang stared at the Butterfly Ninja with a mocking tone. The death rate in this so-called final selection was at least 70%!
This is pretty good. If it weren't for guys with extraordinary talents like Tanjiro and Zenitsu, 90% of the previous selections would have died.
Not to mention whether there were ghosts who sneaked into it in the past, but if the mortality rate had been like this from ancient times to the present, more people would have died in the final selection than at the hands of other ghosts!
"You don't have the determination to die, but you are not qualified to join the Demon Slayer Corps." The butterfly ninja's voice was very gentle, but the smile on his face had disappeared.
"You may have misunderstood. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this approach. It's just that this approach, which is both uncontrollable and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, is stupid."
Xuan Fang spoke his thoughts unceremoniously. He originally thought that Butterfly Ninja would lose his temper, but the latter did not. Instead, he lowered his head and thought.
So Xuan Fang continued: "One person is given a crow and has to find a ghost within seven days. If he kills it, he can join the ghost killing team. As for failure, at least he won't die, right?"
"However, ghosts are not easy to discover. Even our Demon Slayer Team cannot grasp all the information about ghosts."
The butterfly ninja did not refute directly, but chose to explain that the Demon Slayer Squad was not monolithic, and they also had their own ideas.
This Tengxi Mountain was naturally built after a lot of consideration, otherwise it would not have existed for so many years.
"That's better than letting them die there. To be honest, I don't think the casualties outside will be greater than inside the cage."
It is normal to be lucky enough to encounter powerful ghosts by chance. Those who are strong enough will not be afraid. As for the weak ones, they will only die faster in a place like Tengxi Mountain where a large number of ghosts gather.
Selection alone accounts for more than 70% of the casualties. It is a miracle that the Demon Slayer Corps can continue to this day.
But this also just shows that the Ubuyashiki family has strong financial resources and can do better, but they choose to use the stupidest way.
"I understand, I will propose it to the lord."
Butterfly Ninja initially accepted this suggestion. Xuan Fang was a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it, it was normal.
Although Jiuzhu's individual characters are extremely weird, they are actually like this because the people around them have been harmed by ghosts.
In the final analysis, their ability to become pillars is inseparable from their faith.
"Where are Tanjiro and the others?"
"They have gone back. After a while, they will receive the Nichirin Sword and become official demon slayers to carry out missions. By the way..."
Butterfly Ninja pointed to the Nichirin sword in the corner and said, "That is your original sword. It has been repaired by someone. It is such a powerful sword that Mr. Steel Mound was amazed."
Although Xuan Fang doesn't know what the difference is between the special Sun Sword and the ordinary Sun Sword, the worst one in the system is this special Sun Sword.
He had worn out one before, and this one was worn out due to the long battle time and poor mastery of magic.
"Thank you."
Butterfly Ninja showed a smile again on his face and said: "You're welcome, I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, just call Xiaokui."
Xuan Fang nodded, watched the Butterfly Ninja turn and leave, then reluctantly got up from the bed, and then tremblingly got the Nichirin Sword.
His mind contacted the system and said: "System, return to the main world."
[Loading the main world...]
Recuperating here requires at least ten days and a half, and then you have to continue training, which is estimated to take a month.
…
Main world.
Xuan Fang glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that two days had passed since he entered the plot instance.
After entering the dungeon, the dungeon time and reality are synchronized, which is why he chose to return directly. If he stayed in it for a month, he would miss a lot of the accumulation of the dungeon.
"Settlement Reward."
[Congratulations to the host for completing the plot copy! Rewards obtained: Complete Breath of Thunder skill card*1, Breath of Fire skill card*1, Earth Control skill card*1, Spirit +5, Strength +3, Trial Points*5! 】
The rewards were mediocre, Xuan Fang was a little disappointed, but when he saw the skill card of Earth Control, he suddenly became curious.
I directly used it on myself and then read the introduction.
[Earth Control: Control the power of the earth around yourself. It can currently form armor and resist attacks. The range and effect are affected by mental power (can grow)]
Xuan Fang suddenly understood in his heart that this should be the defensive method of the sixth string, or a similar ability.
Moreover, it is a skill that can be grown. If it continues to be developed, it should be possible to control the attack of trees to the level of the sixth string.
After taking a short rest, Xuan Fang completed today's three copies and also used up the remaining number of draws.
[Congratulations to the host! Gained physique +1!]
[Congratulations to the host! Gained physique +2!]
[Congratulations to the host! Gained Spirit +1! 】
This is the reward after completing the dungeon challenge. Although it is not much, it is these accumulations that allowed him to reach where he is now in just one week.
He can't reach the "Pillar" level just by relying on breathing moves, but with the addition of magic, his destructive power will be extremely terrifying!
[Congratulations to the host! Through the free lottery, you will get 300,000 yen, precious ingredients from another world*1, bicycle*1, a complete set of fishing gear*1, fishing technology +1, and strength +1! 】
[Congratulations to the host! You will get a magic crystal*1 in the score draw! 】
The free lottery items are as expected, the only ones with higher value are probably the added attribute points.
The accumulation of these attribute points adds up. As long as he keeps accumulating, Xuan Fang will soon reach the level of Zhu, or even surpass him!
The rewards of the scoring lottery are interesting. Take a closer look at the introduction of the magic crystal.
[Magic Crystal: A crystal that stores a large amount of magic power and can be used to assist in condensing magic power and performing magic. 】
Looking at the blue diamond-shaped crystal in his hand, Xuan Fang was quite satisfied. At least with this thing, he would be able to practice magic much more smoothly.
What he currently lacks is magic power. The "Mana" in this world is really too poor, and there is also not much in the Demon Slayer World.
…
The next day, Xuan Fang got up early, had breakfast, spent half an hour solving the dungeon, and then went out with his lunch box.
Jingle Bell!
Riding a bicycle all the way to the river, Xuan Fang wanted to relax after being in this world for so long and having so many troubles.
"Jun Xuanfang?"
Xuanfang was putting down his fishing rods and other things, taking out a folding chair and lying there to bask in the sun, when he heard someone calling him, so he turned around to look.
"Xiao Lin?"
I didn't expect to encounter it here. Of course, there is another one, ah no, a dragon to be precise.
Thor stared at Xuan Fang with unkind eyes. It seemed that anyone of the opposite sex who talked to Xiao Lin would be stared at by him. Long was so damn possessive...
"Are you fishing?" Xiao Lin was wearing casual clothes and looked like he was not at work. It seemed like it was the weekend.
"Well, being idle is also idle."
"It's really good...Thor~" Xiaolin turned his head and saw that Thor's expression was wrong.
Thor did not dare to continue staring at Xuan Fang, so he could only hurriedly try to explain: "Kuba Yaxi~"
Chapter completed!
