Hearing that he was going out, Zenitsu nodded.
Then he looked up at the dimly lit cave ceiling.
I looked around the top of the cave, but couldn't see any entrance or exit.
Zenitsu looked at Inosuke with a puzzled expression. "How did you get in here?"
Upon hearing this, Inosuke looked up and searched, then quickly pointed.
"I just came in from there!"
Zenitsu looked in the direction Inosuke was pointing, but didn't see any entrance.
Where is the exit?
Upon hearing this, Inosuke looked again, and after confirming that he hadn't misread it, he said irritably:
Are you blind?! Isn't there an entrance over there?
Zenitsu frowned, looked in that direction again more carefully, and then noticed a very small hole.
"Hmm? You mean that hole?"
Inosuke nodded. "That's the hole!"
Upon hearing this, Zenitsu immediately began to curse.
"Hey! Are you kidding me?! That hole isn't for people to crawl through! If your eyesight isn't good, you couldn't even see it from here!!"
"That's easy!"
Inosuke replied, then twisted his body and dislocated his joints under everyone's watchful eyes.
"That's how we can crawl out through that hole!"
Zenitsu's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The Hinatsuru beside it also looked towards the cave entrance, then frowned.
He first looked down at his own chest, then at Makio and Suma's chests, and said helplessly:
"Forget it, let's figure out a way to dig out from this side!"
"Huh?! Dig it out from this side?"
Zenitsu cried out in alarm, then looked up at the distance from here to the top of the cave.
It's at least twenty or thirty meters high, and the top is who knows how far it is from the ground.
If they dig up there, they won't be able to catch up with the Upper Rank fighter.
Hinatsuru nodded and asked in return, "Yes, otherwise, do you have a better idea?"
"Uh... okay, I'll dig!" Zenitsu replied dejectedly.
The group walked towards the wall.
If no one can fly, even a cave roof won't help.
They could only dig their way up from the bottom.
Zenitsu suddenly stopped halfway through the journey.
"What's wrong, Zenitsu?" Suma looked over, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, everyone else also stopped.
Zenitsu raised a hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then twitched his ears and listened carefully.
After waiting a while, Inosuke said impatiently, "Hey! What are you doing? Can't you hurry up a bit!"
Zenitsu frowned and looked up at the cave ceiling.
"There's a sound..."
What was that sound?
"Boom boom boom!"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly fell silent and listened attentively.
After listening carefully for a while, Inosuke said, "No!"
Zenitsu waved his hand slightly, "No! Wait a little longer, it'll be soon!"
"Huh? Your hearing is that good?"
Ignoring him, Zenitsu continued, "Soon! Almost there!"
"What do you mean, 'fast'? You're..."
The Hinatsuru said, " Inoko, be quiet, I think I heard you too!"
Upon hearing this, Inosuke calmed down again and listened carefully.
This time, he heard it too.
Indeed, booming sounds were coming from above.
And the sound kept getting louder.
It's like we're rapidly approaching them.
It's not that I want to, it's that I am.
The booming sound grew louder rapidly.
Soon, it became clearly audible even without being quiet.
And it's getting louder.
The sound grew louder and louder.
until...
boom!
A large hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling of the cave.
The stones that had been covering the cave entrance began to fall downwards.
The pebbles landed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Hey! Are you all alright?
A greeting rang out, and everyone quickly looked over.
Two figures, one large and one small, were standing above the cave entrance.
Zenitsu, looking deeply moved, said, "Ah! Nezuko, did you come to pick me up?"
"..."
Teiichi one end of the black line above the entrance of the cave.
Because it was chiseled at an angle, even after it was completed, Teiichi could still stand on the rock wall above the cave entrance.
He reached out and grabbed Nezuko, then leaped downwards.
The strong wind surged upwards, so that Teiichi didn't even need to absorb any force when it landed.
As soon as he landed, Zenitsu excitedly ran to Nezuko.
"Ah! Nezuko, I'm so touched that you came to pick me up!"
Nezuko blinked and spoke softly:
"I... nosuke..."
Zenitsu froze on the spot, then slowly turned around.
" Inosuke! It's all your fault! You keep calling your own name in front of Nezuko!"
However, Inosuke completely ignored Zenitsu's words, standing with his hands on his hips.
"Hahaha... Well done, Nezuko. But remember, it's Inosuke boss! Next time, we'll add another boss!"
"You bastard! Go to hell!"
Zenitsu roared furiously and charged at Inosuke, and the two quickly engaged in combat.
Seeing the two of them like this, Suma n't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
" Inoko Zenitsu have such a good relationship!"
The Hinatsuru nodded, then walked up to Teiichi and said:
" Lord Kato, I didn't expect you to be here this time!"
Teiichi nodded. "Yes, how could I not come when Uzui asked me to? It's been so long, Hinatsuru, Makio, Suma!"
"Long time no see!" Hinatsuru, Makio, Suma all replied.
Teiichi turned to look at Zenitsu and Inosuke.
"Alright, stop fighting! Hurry up and go up there, Tanjiro and the others are still fighting the Upper Rank!"
Upon hearing this, the two quickly separated, and Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma tensed up again.
" Lord Kato, how is the situation with Lord Tengen?"
Teiichi, "Well, Uzui alright now, but Tanjiro is in a bit of danger!"
" Tanjiro?" Suma repeated.
Teiichi, "It's just one team member, don't worry about it, just go and help!"
Upon hearing that he was going to fight the Upper Rank, Zenitsu said with some concern:
" Mr. Kato, why don't you leave us alone and go ahead?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at Teiichi.
"..."
Good grief, I asked you to do the problem, and you want the answer right away?
Teiichi raised his hand and patted Zenitsu on the head.
"I brought you here so you could gain some experience. I still need to take these people who are tied up here upstairs. You go first, I'll come over later!"
"Alright!" Zenitsu replied helplessly.
Inosuke looked up at the top of the cave.
How do we get up there?
Teiichi, "Just jump up, and I'll blow you up!"
Huh? Blown up? Suma a little confused.
However, Inosuke soon demonstrated it to her.
Inosuke jumped upwards with all his might, and then flew straight to the cave entrance.
Zenitsu then followed suit and went up as well.
Despite some doubts, Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma followed suit.
After sending everyone else up, Teiichi glanced around at the ordinary people lying in the cave and began his own work.
