Under such circumstances, facing a swamp demon that can create swamps and immerse itself in them, Chen Anxia might be powerless to find the family of three who own the house.
This also shows that although the Holy Son of Ao anticipated Chen Anxia's strength, he still underestimated Chen Anxia's power because he had never witnessed Chen Anxia's true strength.
This is also due to the limited perspective of the Holy Son.
A moment later, Chen Anxia, Ao Shengzi, and Kyoko and her daughter Jiguo, who had reunited, embarked on their journey once more.
During the journey, the Holy Child remained somewhat dazed, her mind replaying the scenes of the previous battle, muttering, "Water Breathing, Twelfth Form - Wave Burst..."
......
Chapter 521 The Ghost's Trap, the Wisteria Family!
"Is anyone there! Is there anyone who can come and save us?!"
This message, which suddenly appeared on the regional channel, immediately caught Chen Anxia's attention.
SOS messages like this are very common in the thought networks among players.
However, in the past, these kinds of SOS messages meant that players actually needed help.
However, with the emergence of player-controlled ghosts, these kinds of distress messages have become fraught with danger.
This is because it is very likely a trap set by the player's ghost, taking advantage of the player's kindness.
They use this trap to lure innocent players in and then capture them all.
Players who are wiped out have only two choices: one is to join them, that is, to abandon their human form and join the demon camp, and the other is to be tortured and devoured by the player demons.
That's right, they were tortured and eaten.
In the player's mind, the original inhabitants of this world are just NPCs, just a bunch of data, and there is no psychological burden to killing them.
However, the player is perceived differently by the Ghost of Players, who is well aware that the player is a human being just like itself, a living being.
However, after transforming into a ghost, most of the player ghosts no longer feel any psychological burden or guilt about killing or even devouring their former kind; they even experience a strange kind of pleasure from it.
That's what ghosts are; they don't differ based on the player's identity.
Because the players' demonic acts of killing and devouring their own kind are constantly exposed in the players' thought networks, many players who originally wanted to abandon their human form and join the demonic camp have given up.
These players are still human beings, and they simply cannot understand acts of cruelty, even the act of devouring humans. They also cannot imagine or accept that they themselves will become like that in the future.
Faced with this situation, the player-demon uses all sorts of tricks to lure and deceive the player, forcing them to join the demon's side.
Therefore, in the player's mindset, players will mostly ignore such distress messages.
Even if a player is willing to lend a helping hand, they have to consider the risks involved, causing them to hesitate and miss the best time to rescue the player who truly needs help.
It can be said that, due to the existence of the player ghost, the current player mind network is in a state of panic.
The vast majority of players have already formed their own chat groups and only send messages within their own chat groups.
......
At Chen Anxia's prompting, Ao Shengzi replied to the message in the regional channel.
"Where are you? Send me your exact coordinates, I'm coming to rescue you!"
The reason Chen Anxia didn't send it was because his name as a beta tester was already known to all players.
In this situation, if the person sending the distress message is indeed a player ghost, they might be wary of Chen Anxia's identity as a beta tester and abandon the trap.
This is not what Chen Anxia wanted to see.
If the player ghost really sent this distress message, then Chen Anxia really wants to walk into the trap and kill the player ghost who sent the message.
If the player sent the distress message, it doesn't matter whether Chen Anxia or Ao Shengzi replies, because they are acting together.
Shortly after the Holy Son of Ao posted his reply, the player who sent the distress message immediately sent a coordinate and another urgent message: "Hurry, we can't hold on much longer!"
Upon seeing this, the Holy Son of Ao couldn't help but turn his gaze to Chen Anxia.
Chen Anxia then opened the coordinates sent by the player.
Immediately, a route to this coordinate appeared in Chen Anxia's mind.
This is also one of the capabilities of the player's mental network.
This ability is simply unimaginable for the native inhabitants of this world.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia headed ahead to the coordinates.
Although this coordinate is in the same area as Chen Anxia's, the distance is still quite far.
Therefore, if the distress message was indeed posted by a player, then given Oku Seiko and Tsugikuni Kyoko's current speed, they really wouldn't be able to get there in time.
The Holy Son of Osaka also knew this.
After seeing Chen Anxia's figure disappear from his sight, Ao Shengzi did not hesitate and rushed to the coordinate location with Jiguo Jingzi and her daughter.
Chen Anxia was incredibly fast; as he moved, streaks of lightning even flashed beneath his feet, bursting forth in the darkness.
The reason for this is that Chen Anxia incorporated the Thunder Breathing Technique into the Thunder-like Movement technique, and developed a brand new Thunder-like Movement technique based on it.
The new version boasts a speed that is one to two times faster than the original.
If we convert the data, then Chen Anxia, with his new lightning-fast speed, only needs a little over 1 minute to run the 100 meters.
That is to say, Chen Anxia can travel about 100 meters per second, a speed that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Even Zenitsu Agatsuma, known as the fastest human in Demon Slayer, only reached a top speed of around 48 meters per second when using the Thunder Breathing technique.
Chen Anxia's speed at this moment was already twice that of Zenitsu Agatsuma.
This gives an idea of how fast Chen Anxia was.
If an ordinary person were to see Chen Anxia at this moment, they would not be able to see Chen Anxia's figure at all, but would only see a dazzling bolt of lightning flashing past their eyes.
Chen Anxia's Thunder Breathing Technique was used by Zenitsu Agatsuma during the seven days of Tengxi Mountain's final test, and was witnessed by Chen Anxia, who thus mastered it.
However, since Zenitsu only used Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap Flash, Chen Anxia has only mastered this one sword form of Thunder Breathing at the moment.
Of course, given Chen Anxia's current martial arts foundation and his ability to apply his knowledge of the Water Breathing Technique to other techniques at its limit, given enough time, Chen Anxia is fully capable of confidently developing his own Thunder Breathing Technique.
Not only the Thunder Breathing Technique, but during the seven days of final testing at Tengxi Mountain, Chen Anxia also mastered three other breathing techniques: the Snake Breathing Technique, the Love Breathing Technique, and the Flame Breathing Technique.
Like the Thunder Breathing Technique, Chen Anxia only mastered some of the sword forms of these three breathing techniques, not all of them.
But that was enough for Chen Anxia.
Having mastered these incomplete breathing techniques, Chen Anxia, who had already reached the pinnacle of the Water Breathing Technique, had already gained inspiration for the Sun Breathing Technique.
During the time that Teng Xishan and Kamado Tanjiro were separated, Chen Anxia also continued to deduce the Sun Breathing Technique.
Although it is relatively simple to deduce other breathing methods, for Chen Anxia, the Sun Breathing Method is of paramount importance.
Once inspired, the priority should definitely be to deduce the Sun Breathing Technique.
Soon, Chen Anxia arrived near the coordinates.
What came into Chen Anxiang's view was a grand mansion with its doors tightly shut and wisteria blossoms hanging down.
Above the tightly closed gate, Chen Anxia saw a family crest carved with wisteria flowers on it.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia thought of an ancient family that made a brief appearance in the original work—the Wisteria Flower Family...
......
Chapter 522 Deterrence, the Name of Chen Anxia! (Please Subscribe!)
That's right, the coordinates of the distress call are right in front of us, in the grand courtyard belonging to the Wisteria family.
This also means that the person calling for help should now be inside the grand compound in front of them.
As for the origin of the wisteria family, it has a history of several hundred years.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, the founder of the Wisteria family was rescued by the Demon Slayer Corps, and since then he has been providing free assistance to the Demon Slayer Corps.
The demon slayers in the Demon Slayer Corps all know that when they encounter a house with a wisteria flower crest during a mission, they can enter it to rest.
In the original story, Tanjiro Kamado and his group also received help from the Wisteria family.
Although the Wisteria family only makes a brief appearance in the original work, the profound heritage accumulated by the Wisteria family over hundreds of years cannot be ignored.
Putting everything else aside, Chen Anxia knew that the Wisteria family must have a way to contact the Demon Slayer Corps.
This also means that the Wisteria family is capable of seeking help from the Demon Slayer Corps whenever they encounter danger.
Moreover, the outer wall of the grand gate of the prestigious family belonging to the Wisteria family was already covered with wisteria flowers, which ghosts hate the most.
Logically, ghosts shouldn't be able to invade.
'So why would players caught in this situation call for help?'
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia leaped onto the high wall and looked down at the viewpoint.
It must be said that the size of this house is astonishing.
Chen Anxia estimated that the courtyard alone was over a thousand square meters, not to mention the numerous traditional Japanese houses that occupied even larger areas.
Therefore, at first glance, Chen Anxia only saw a courtyard with signs of battle, which was now empty and desolate.
Following the traces of the battle, Chen Anxia quickly discerned what was happening, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, Chen Anxia appeared in front of an ancient-style building that resembled an ancestral hall.
Inside the ancient building, twelve people looked at the five humanoid ghosts outside with angry but fearful expressions.
Meanwhile, the five humanoid ghosts outside the house looked at the humans inside with mocking expressions.
Among them, the humanoid ghost, who was short in stature but exuded an indescribable terrifying aura, spoke up at this moment, saying, "Alright, now we can only eliminate six spots."
As he spoke, the demon continued with a disdainful expression, "If it weren't for Lord Muzan's orders, I wouldn't have given you the chance to become demons."
"You'd better hurry up, my patience is limited. If you make me wait too long, I won't hesitate to torture and kill you all."
Upon hearing the ghost's words, the twelve people in the room trembled uncontrollably, their faces filled with uncontrollable fear.
Some of them even showed a hint of interest, but whenever they were about to step forward, their eyes couldn't help but look at the severed limbs beside the five humanoid ghosts outside the house.
Immediately, their restless hearts would cool down, and their faces would once again show grief and anger.
Among them was a lovely 16-year-old girl with red-rimmed eyes who looked at the ghost that had spoken and said with resentment, "Even if I die, I will never become a monster like you!"
