Chapter 2

Bang!

In a remote cave, Ji Qingfeng was thrown to the ground by the ghost, and then the ghost raised his legs.

Two snaps.

His knees were crushed, and Ji Qingfeng woke up with a painful look on his face.

Two more snaps.

Ji Qingfeng's arms were also crippled by the ghost.

He was used to it. Every day, the ghost would crush his knees to prevent him from escaping during the day.

Ji Qingfeng looked ferocious, and his eyes were full of hatred as he stared at the ghost who had closed his eyes to rest.

‘This damn ghost wanted to take me to a secluded place to hide. It treated me as food that it would never finish eating. This damn ghost...’

‘If it stops attacking humans, how can the Demon Slayer Corps find it?’

‘How can a crow find it deep in the mountains?’

‘Is there no hope for me to escape?

Ji Qingfeng looked at the increasingly dense forest outside the cave, and became more and more anxious.

‘I still have to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

Realizing that he couldn't put all his hopes on the Demon Slayer Corps, Ji Qingfeng began to rack his brains to think of a way to escape.

The sunlight outside shone on the cave entrance, and the ghost who closed his eyes to rest hid further into the cave with some discomfort.

‘Damn it, why can I only recover by sleeping?

Ji Qingfeng was not sure how long he would sleep, and he did not dare to sleep at all. What if he slept longer than a ghost? If it was dark when he woke up, he would not be able to run away. Moreover, the pain in his body made it impossible for him to sleep.

‘The cave it found today to hide in is the easiest place to escape.’

‘Before, after he found the cave, he would move a huge rock to block the cave entrance before sunrise to prevent himself from escaping. Maybe today he was too late, so he could only see the long-lost sunshine.’

‘But how can I get out of this situation?

Ji Qingfeng's limbs are now all disabled, and the pain is constantly attacking his nerves.

Even if he can crawl out of the cave without making a sound, where can he run to?

Moreover, ghosts have much stronger senses than humans. As long as he moves a little, the ghost may notice it.

The sun is right in front of him, but Ji Qingfeng has been thinking about it and can't find a foolproof way.

‘No matter what, let's get out of the cave first.'

Ji Qingfeng endured the pain in his body and turned over and lay on the ground. Then he didn't move, and listened nervously to the movement behind him.

After a long while, he was sure that the ghost didn't notice his little action, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘We can't relax. We need to crawl out of the cave and into the sunlight to be temporarily safe.'

Ji Qingfeng looked at the sunlight outside the cave with a firm gaze, his chin tapping the ground again and again, and his body crawling out of the cave like a caterpillar.

Every move forward was unbearable pain, but for the sake of freedom and to escape from the clutches of the ghost, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

This cave was not deep, only ten steps away, and an ordinary person could walk out of the cave in a few breaths.

But for Ji Qingfeng, it was like the distance between heaven and earth.

Every time he crawled forward a certain distance, he would pause for a while, and would continue to crawl forward after confirming that the ghost had no reaction.

‘No, this is too slow. If I keep going like this, I won't be able to get out before sunset.’

‘Let's take a chance!!

Ji Qingfeng slowly turned his body and turned sideways to face the cave entrance.

After turning around, he could clearly see that the ghost was still sitting in the depths of the cave with his eyes closed and resting without any reaction.

‘Could it be that he had eaten too much in the past few days, and his body was absorbing the energy to become stronger, causing him to sleep very deeply and his senses to decrease?’

‘Otherwise, I can't explain it. In the past few days, it would have discovered me whenever I made a move.

Ji Qingfeng suddenly became a little excited. If that was the case, he might be able to escape.

With the hope of escaping, he felt that even the pain in his body was relieved a lot. With a slightly excited mood, Ji Qingfeng kept rolling towards the cave entrance.

‘Closer, closer!!’

‘We will be able to get out soon. '

While escaping, Ji Qingfeng did not forget to observe the ghost in the cave.

Seeing that the ghost had not made any move, he gradually grew bolder, rolling faster and faster, and becoming more and more nervous.

‘Success, I escaped! '

Lying on the platform outside the cave, Ji Qingfeng looked back at the ghost and saw that the ghost was still asleep. He gasped and looked at the blue sky and the white clouds, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on his body, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.

God knows how a 26-year-old office worker like him survived these days. If he could not die, he would have died long ago.

After lying for a while, Ji Qingfeng turned his head and looked at the ghost in the cave.

It is not time to relax yet, he is not completely safe yet.

Climbing to the edge of the platform, Ji Qingfeng looked at the hillside below.

‘Am I in a cave halfway up the mountain?’

‘Below me seems to be the forest from last night. '

This mountain is not very high, and Ji Qingfeng can't see any farther.

‘I don't know if there is a village outside the woods.’

‘Never mind, let's go down first.'

He couldn't care less at this moment, he just wanted to stay away from the ghost, the farther the better.

Ji Qingfeng, who was standing on the edge of the platform, mustered up his courage, rolled down the platform, and rolled down the mountain.

The continuous sound of collisions startled a large number of birds in the woods, and also scared Kojima Saburo who was about to go into the mountain to collect herbs.

"What, what is this sound?"

"Something seems to be rolling down the mountain."

At the foot of the mountain, Kojima Saburo, carrying a medicine basket on his back, stared at the hillside vigilantly. After a while, he saw something rolling down towards him.

"Looks like a person?"

He swallowed nervously and hesitated for a moment.

Kojima Saburo bravely walked towards the figure lying at the foot of the mountain.

"Da, Das K Dai."

Ji Qingfeng, who had no good spots on his body, saw someone walking towards him. A thought flashed through his mind, and he finally sent out a cry for help in Japanese that he learned from watching anime.

He just wanted to get away from the ghost as soon as possible. Even if he found out that he was a bad guy, it didn't matter. The worst case scenario was just murder and robbery.

Kill?

He probably couldn't kill him.

Robbery?

He had nothing on him, even his clothes were tattered and could only barely cover his vital parts. What kind of robbery could he have?

So after this person found him, he had only two choices: to save him or not.

One, this person was afraid of getting into trouble and ignored him, and just turned around and left.

The second was that this person was kind-hearted and would not watch him die without saving him.

If that was the case, what was Ji Qingfeng afraid of?

"Hey! Are you okay?"

"Da, Das K"

""Hey!"

Ji Qingfeng understood what the other party said, but at this time he could not remember any other Japanese, so he could only repeat"help me".

However, before he finished speaking, he lost consciousness.
