In a pitch-black forest, in another corner, a petite figure leaped forward at an extremely fast pace.
With each leap, the small figure would soar from the treetop of one tree to the treetop of another, resembling a civet, moving like a ninja at an incredibly fast speed, leaping forward.
While leaping extremely fast, the pair of eyes of the petite figure kept scanning back and forth, as if eagerly searching for something.
The master of the figure was none other than Mumei.
“Where could he be?” Although Mumei’s expression didn’t show much anxiety, her voice carried a hint of concern in it.
It seemed that Mumei really wanted to find Fang Li.
But…
“Come to think of it, why do I want to find him?” Mumei’s inner thoughts were filled with this question.
After all, Fang Li was neither a close person to Mumei nor a relative or friend. They had only just met yesterday and couldn’t be considered intimate in any way.
For someone like him, Mumei shouldn’t have a reason to find him. However, for some unknown reason, Mumei just felt like looking for Fang Li.
“Why is that?” With this question in mind, Mumei continued to leap forward, instinctively searching for Fang Li.
“Ah…” Just then, a faint roar resembling that of a wild beast could be heard from the forest ahead.
“That is…” Mumei immediately stopped in her tracks.
“The sound of Kabane?”
In this era, there were almost no beings left that could produce such sounds except for Kabane.
Not to mention, Mumei was highly sensitive to the aura of Kabane and easily sensed that a large number of Kabane were converging in a certain direction.
“Could it be that he’s over there?”
At that moment, a surprised expression appeared on Mumei’s face.
“That guy, could it be that he’s being reckless again?” Although she didn’t know how many Kabane were ahead, from the chaotic roar and overwhelming aura, Mumei could be sure that there were at least hundreds of Kabane gathered there.
Even Mumei herself would have to untie her ribbon to deal with such a number of Kabane, let alone Fang Li.
“Whether it was in Aragane Station or here, even though he’s so weak, why does he keep rushing into dangerous places?” An indescribable anger rose in Mumei’s heart as she thought of this.
However, Mumei still followed the noisy cries of the Kabane and leaped forward at an extremely fast speed.
Suddenly, the cacophony of the Kabane’s roars became clearer and clearer.
And at this moment, Mumei’s nose twitched a few times, catching a pungent smell in the air.
“This is…”
Mumei was very familiar with this smell.
In fact, even children living in this era could possibly live their lives smelling this scent.
“The smell of blood…”
Moreover, it was a very strong and pungent smell of blood.
“Could something have happened?” With that thought in mind, Mumei unconsciously quickened her pace.
After approximately three minutes, Mumei arrived at the scene.
In the forest ahead, a large number of Kabane were rushing toward a figure in the middle, just like a pack of hunting wolves hunting their target.
Surrounded by such a quantity of Kabane, even a skilled Samurai like Konochi Kurusu would probably not last long before becoming a meal for the Kabane, right?
As far as Mumei knew, Fang Li’s strength was not much higher than Konochi Kurusu’s. Being trapped in such a siege, he would have been torn to pieces by now.
However, the scene before Mumei made her involuntarily stop in her tracks, and her innocent and cute face was filled with astonishment.
“AaahAaah————!”
Amidst the roars and relentless attacks of the Kabane, a black figure moved like a ghost among them, suddenly weaving through the crowd of monsters.
Wherever the figure went, the lethal weapon in his hand, gleaming with a cold light, brought forth claws of death as it continuously slashed through the bodies of the Kabane one by one.
“Pū Chī—— Pū Chī—— Pū Chī——!”
The sound of the weapon tearing through flesh and blood echoed incessantly in the immediate area and thick blood splattered into the air.
Under the ordinary dagger’s cuts, the seemingly tough-skinned Kabane were as fragile as tree bark, being split in half one after another.
It was a gruesome and terrifying scene.
Limb fragments and body parts spread all over the ground and crimson blood filled the air.
The howls of the Kabane, known as Undead Monsters, gradually turned into screams, turning the dark forest into a hellish place, and giving people an extremely terrifying feeling.
Watching this scene, Mumei’s eyes widened cutely.
She still remembered that just yesterday, Fang Li needed Mumei and the Samurai’s cover to maneuver through the horde of Kabane, fishing in troubled waters, and ultimately killing over a hundred of them. However, he almost couldn’t return to the crowd due to exhaustion.
It had only been a day.
And now, Fang Li was single-handedly fighting in the same horde of monsters, seemingly enjoying himself this time around.
Under these circumstances, how could Mumei, with her keen eyes, not notice something strange?
“How did he get stronger again?”
Yesterday, at Aragane Station, Mumei witnessed Fang Li acquiring the Slaughterer skill, suddenly increasing his attack speed and movement speed, thereby becoming stronger.
Now, Mumei was witnessing it again. She saw Fang Li becoming even more powerful and it was different from the last time.
If the last time Fang Li only got slightly stronger, then this time, Fang Li had undergone an earth-shattering change.
At least, judging from Fang Li’s ghostly speed, immensely powerful killing ability, and increasingly proficient killing techniques, Mumei was certain that the current Fang Li would require her to remove her ribbon and use all her strength to defeat him.
“How is this possible?” Mumei was truly puzzled.
However, there was one thing Mumei knew and that was that this man was definitely not an ordinary Wanderer.
“Who is he exactly?” This question deeply penetrated Mumei’s heart.
To the point that she forgot to help him and remained on top of a tree, watching Fang Li wreak havoc without knowing how to react.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, Mumei’s pupils constricted as she saw something.
Among the horde of Kabane, there was a figure that clearly stood out from the rest, quietly approaching Fang Li.
Seeing that figure, Mumei shuddered and reflexively shouted, “Be careful!”
As Mumei’s voice echoed, Fang Li’s figure suddenly halted amidst the horde of Kabane.
In that split second, the black shadow lunged toward Fang Li.
…
