What kind of person is he?

In the pitch-black forest, in another corner, a petite figure was leaping forward at high speed.

With each leap, the small figure moved like a nimble cat, jumping from the top of one tree to the top of another, like a ninja, advancing forward at an extremely fast pace.

While leaping forward at high speed, the pair of eyes of the petite figure kept darting back and forth, as if anxiously trying to find something.

The owner of the figure was naturally Mumei.

"Where could he be?"

Although Mumei's expression didn't show much anxiety, her voice carried a hint of worry.

It seemed that Mumei really wanted to find Fang Li.

But…

"Speaking of which, why do I want to find him?"

Mumei still had this question in her heart.

After all, Fang Li was neither a relative nor an old friend to Mumei. They were not related, and they had only met yesterday, so they couldn't be considered close at all.

For such a person, Mumei shouldn't have a reason to find him.

But, for some reason, Mumei just wanted to find Fang Li.

"Why is that?"

With this question in mind, Mumei continued to leap forward, almost reflexively continuing to search for Fang Li.

"Ah…"

Just then, a beast-like roar faintly came.

"That's…" Mumei stopped.

"The sound of a Kabane?"

In this day and age, the only things that could make such a sound were almost certainly Kabane.

What's more, Mumei was very sensitive to the aura of the Kabane, and she easily noticed a large number of Kabane gathering in a certain direction.

"Could it be there?"

Immediately, Mumei's expression was tinged with surprise.

"Is that guy courting death?"

Although she didn't know exactly how many Kabane were ahead, from the extremely mixed roars and the extremely complex aura, Mumei was sure that the number of Kabane gathered there must be in the hundreds.

Even Mumei would have to unleash her full power to deal with this number of Kabane, let alone Fang Li.

"It was like this in Aragane Station, and it's like this here too. He's so weak, why does he keep rushing to dangerous places?"

A strange fire rose in Mumei's heart for no reason.

However, Mumei still followed the noisy cries of the Kabane, leaping forward at high speed.

Suddenly, the Kabane's noisy roars became clearer and clearer.

At this time, Mumei's nose twitched slightly, and she smelled a rather pungent smell.

"This is…"

Mumei was very familiar with this smell.

Rather, living in this era, even children might have to live with this smell all the time.

"The smell of blood…"

Moreover, it was a very pungent smell of blood.

"Could something have happened?"

Thinking so, Mumei couldn't help but speed up her pace.

About three minutes later, Mumei arrived at the scene.

In the forest ahead, a large number of Kabane were pouncing on a figure in the middle like wolves hunting.

Attacked by such a number of Kabane, even a Samurai as skilled as Kurusu Kunoichi would probably not last long before being completely turned into food for the Kabane, right?

As far as Mumei knew, Fang Li's strength was not much higher than Kurusu Kunoichi's. Trapped in such an attack, he would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.

However, the scene before her made Mumei stop, her delicate and lovely face full of astonishment.

"Aaaaaaaah————!"

In the midst of the Kabane's roars and fierce attacks, a black shadow, like a ghost, suddenly shuttled through the monster group. Wherever it passed, the cold light flashing from the fierce weapon in its hand was like the claws of death, constantly slashing across the bodies of the Kabane.

"Puchi—Puchi—Puchi—!"

The sound of sharp objects tearing flesh was endless.

A thick spray of blood flew up.

Under the cutting of that extremely ordinary dagger, the Kabane, whose skin was as hard as bark, were continuously cut in two as if they were fragile tree bark.

It was an extremely bloody and terrifying scene.

Limbs and severed remains littered the earth.

Scarlet blood sprayed through the air.

The roars of the Kabane, monsters hailed as immortal, gradually turned into screams, transforming the dark forest into a hellish landscape, inspiring a feeling of extreme terror.

Witnessing this scene firsthand, Mumei's eyes widened in surprise.

She vividly remembered that just yesterday, Fang Li had needed her and the Samurai's cover to weave through the Kabane horde, muddling through until he had finally slain over a hundred of them, only to nearly fail to return to the group due to exhaustion.

Only a day had passed.

Now, Fang Li was single-handedly fighting his way through the same horde, seemingly enjoying himself.

In this situation, how could Mumei not see it?

"How did he get stronger again?"

Yesterday, in Aragane Station, Mumei had witnessed Fang Li acquire the Killer skill, his attack speed and movement speed suddenly increasing, making him stronger.

Now, Mumei was seeing it again.

Seeing Fang Li become even more powerful.

And, unlike last time.

If, last time, Fang Li had only become slightly stronger, then now, Fang Li had undergone an almost earth-shattering transformation.

At least, looking at Fang Li's ghostly speed, immense destructive power, and increasingly skilled killing techniques, Mumei was certain.

If it were the current Fang Li, even she would have to remove her restraints and use her full strength to defeat him.

"How can this be?"

Mumei was truly baffled.

However, there was one thing that Mumei knew.

That was, this man was definitely not a simple wanderer.

"Just what is he?"

This question was deeply etched into Mumei's heart.

So much so that Mumei forgot to help, simply staying on the treetop, watching Fang Li slaughter everything in sight, completely unsure of how to react.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Mumei's pupils constricted.

Within the Kabane horde, a figure that was distinctly different from the other Kabane was quietly approaching Fang Li.

Seeing that figure, Mumei jolted, reflexively shouting.

"Careful!"

As Mumei's voice echoed, Fang Li's figure abruptly stopped within the Kabane horde.

In that instant, a dark shadow lunged towards Fang Li.
