Chapter 659 This Is the Real Final Selection!
"Although there were more cannibals in Tengxi Mountain in the past, most of them were old, weak and sick.
They have not eaten humans for many years, so they are not much stronger than ordinary humans.
But the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain are different now. In order to save time, Lingzhu and his team did not screen the captured cannibals for strength.
Unlike the low-level ones in the past, the cannibals in Tengxi Mountain are not only strong, but there are also many cannibals who can use "blood vampire magic". "
The strength of cannibals who can use "blood vampire magic" and those who can't is completely different.
In fact, when other court pillars knew that Yecheng was so chaotic and threw many cannibals who could use "blood vampire magic" into Tengxi Mountain, they opposed this "final selection".
Because for those trainee team members who were assessed, cannibals who could use "blood vampire magic" were still too dangerous. If one was not handled well, the whole army might be wiped out.
Of course, there are also court pillars who said that although the quality of the cannibals in Fujiki Mountain has improved, the number is far less than before.
As long as the examinees know how to be cautious and protect themselves, they also have the possibility of passing the examination.
Fujiki Mountain is not small, and it is not easy for hundreds of cannibals to find the examinees.
Moreover, in addition to killing demons, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps know how to avoid tracking and protect themselves when they are not as strong as the opponent, and formulate strategies to counterattack, which is also a good assessment.
It is also because of this that the current Ubuyashiki twins will remind everyone of the real purpose of this assessment.
"To be frank, the final selection you are participating in this time should be the most difficult and dangerous one in the hundreds of years of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Whether to participate in the assessment is ultimately up to you.
If you want to give up the assessment, just leave from the bottom of the mountain. Those who want to participate in the assessment can enter the mountain through the torii behind us."
As the Ubuyashiki twins spoke, they made way to the left and right to make a passage for everyone present.
Behind the Torii gate is a dim mountain road, which is almost impossible to see the end at a glance, but everyone present is quite clear that once you take this road, there are only two outcomes.
Either pass the final selection and walk down the mountain, or become the food of the cannibals and stay on the mountain forever.
"Damn it, I thought I could join the Demon Slayer Corps as long as I passed the final selection, but who knew that this time I came directly to the death difficulty!"
"Yes, I have planned to give up. Not everyone is a monster like the spirit pillar.
If you give up this selection, you can come back next time. Now the cannibals in the mountains are in a strong state. There is no need to die in vain."
Due to what the twins of Ubuyashiki said before, many of the examiners present finally chose to give up after a period of hesitation.
When they saw that some people around them chose to give up and go down the mountain, and no one on the Demon Slayer Corps really stopped them, more and more people shook their heads and gave up.
"Those who choose to give up probably won't achieve much in the future.
Although fear is an important emotion, they are afraid of cannibals before fighting. Even if they participate in the selection, they probably won't pass."
At the corner of the steps down the Fujixi Mountain, two figures hidden in the wisteria tree looked at the figures who gave up the assessment and went down the mountain, and shook their heads slightly.
Among them, the yellow-haired figure with black sword eyebrows and piercing eyes directly concluded that those who gave up would not achieve much in the future.
After shaking his head and sighing, he looked at another white-haired figure beside him and said, "How about it, is the boy you and Tomioka Giyu optimistic about also among the group of people who just gave up?"
That's right, the two figures who were watching the show at the foot of the mountain at this moment were naturally the Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro and the Spirit Pillar Yagiro.
Because the difficulty of this "final selection" is far greater than before, Ubuyashiki Yoya was also worried that there would be any accidents, so he let his two children host it openly.
But secretly, Ye Cheng and Kyojuro were arranged to come here to avoid any unexpected situation.
"How could a boy who dared to swing an axe at the water pillar as an ordinary person two years ago be scared by such a small battle."
As for whether Tanjiro would quit halfway, Ye Cheng had no doubt.
You're kidding, a fierce man who almost killed the water pillar with an axe would be scared by some ordinary cannibals.
What's more, Tanjiro was just an ordinary person at that time, but now he has learned a lot from Urokodaki Sakonji.
"Stop kidding! I'm here just to kill cannibals, how can I give up like this!"
Many people gave up the "final selection" because of their fear, so naturally there were people who dared to challenge.
After hesitating for less than a moment, Fuzugawa Xuanya looked at those who chose to quit with disdain, and then walked past the twins of Ubuyashiki with a fierce look and walked directly into Fujisaki Mountain.
Following Fuzuigawa Genya, Tanjiro and Kanao also chose to participate in the final selection without much hesitation.
They all had their own reasons for killing demons, and it was impossible for them to give up. Not to mention that the cannibal demons in Fujiki Mountain were only stronger than before, even if they faced the Twelve Demon Moons, they had no reason to retreat at this moment.
Although Agatsuma Zenitsu was trembling and looked obviously very scared, he also trembled and followed Tanjiro and others to continue to participate in the selection.
And it seemed that they were also inspired by them. Many people who wanted to give up showed a determined expression on their faces and followed them into Fujiki Mountain.
When all the people present left or chose to enter Fujiki Mountain to participate in the final selection, the figures of Yecheng and Kyojuro also appeared in front of the Torii.
When Kanata Ubuyashiki and Teriya Ubuyashiki saw Yecheng, their expressions were obviously quite excited, and they even blurted out "Teacher".
However, when they remembered Yecheng's instructions, they nodded to Yecheng and Kyojuro and said, "I'll trouble you two for the next thing."
Yecheng and Kyojuro actually have another mission this time, which is to secretly protect Tanjiro and those who participated in the "final selection".
In fact, the "final selection" of the Demon Slayer Corps this time has just ended.
Facing fear and daring to fight fear is the assessment theme of this "final selection".
Those who finally chose to give up were eliminated the moment they turned around and went down the mountain.
As for those who chose to accept the "final selection", Tanjiro and others had already passed the assessment the moment they stepped into Fujiki Mountain.
Of course, although they passed the assessment, they still needed the necessary practical experience, so Ye Cheng and others did not stop them from entering Fujiki Mountain.
Instead, they would secretly protect them in another way.
