"Hey!" Bai Ye looked at the two Demon Slayers and said, "I remember, if you cut off their heads, you can kill a demon, right?"
The Demon Slayer with a scar on his forehead was stunned for a moment, then shouted across the small stream, "Yes, but please be careful. His body is very tough, and his neck isn't that easy to cut off."
While Bai Ye was asking, the spider demon had already stood up again, but it didn't rush directly at Bai Ye. Instead, it began to run in circles around Bai Ye.
Bai Ye grinned. Father seemed a little smarter than brother. But it made sense, after all, he was the father, and his own strength was the strongest besides Lower Rank Five.
"But..." Bai Ye sighed, "someone who is good at close combat, being forced to not be able to fight up close, is already a failure!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he reached out forward.
A golden barrier rippled out behind Bai Ye, and then, circle after circle of golden barriers continuously appeared.
Gate of Babylon!
Weapons appeared in the ripples and shot towards the spider demon.
Boom, boom, boom!
The flying weapons chased after the spider demon, blasting craters on the ground one after another. In an instant, mud and stones flew everywhere.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin. The Gate of Babylon was quite useful, but...
Having seen Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, Bai Ye felt ashamed looking at his own. They were completely different things.
However, Bai Ye's objective had been achieved.
Bai Ye's purpose in firing weapons was to force a position, to lure the spider demon to a place he had already located.
Then...
Teleportation!
Bai Ye's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of the spider demon.
The next moment, the Southern Bright Flame Sword swept out, slashing towards the spider demon's neck.
Clang!
The spider demon reacted quickly, raising its arm immediately, and then a crisp metallic clash sounded.
The spider demon blocked the Southern Bright Flame Sword with its arm, but...
Suddenly, the blade of the Southern Bright Flame Sword lit up.
The sword body suddenly turned into a long rainbow, and then...
Slice!
The sound of flesh tearing was heard, and a large amount of blood splattered from the spider demon's arm.
"Die!"
Bai Ye grunted and exerted force again.
The long rainbow that the Southern Bright Flame Sword had transformed into cut off the spider demon's arm and then swept onto the spider demon's neck, and then...
The head flew off!
With a burst of blood, the spider demon's head was severed by Bai Ye's sword and flew into the sky.
"You have killed the Spider Demon Father of the Spider Demon family and completed the restricted area mission one (temporary)."
"This kill can be transferred."
After killing the spider demon, Bai Ye wiped the blood from his sword and walked towards the two Demon Slayers.
The Demon Slayer with the scar on his forehead looked very polite, bowed to Bai Ye, and then said, "Hello, I am Kamado Tanjiro. Are you also a Demon Slayer? Has support arrived?"
"Me? You can consider me an auxiliary member?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "The purpose is the same anyway, to kill demons."
Kamado Tanjiro nodded and said, "Thank you for your help..."
"Don't!" Bai Ye quickly stopped him, "I was just passing by and happened to cut that guy down. I didn't know you were here, so it doesn't count as helping."
He didn't want these two to consider him as having saved them.
Bai Ye actually knew them both, given his memories from his previous life.
Kamado Tanjiro's breathing technique was the Water Breathing, and the other one wearing a boar mask was called Agatsuma Zenitsu, who used the Beast Breathing.
Both of their breathing techniques were no worse than Tokito Muichiro's. Inosuke's Beast Breathing was an improvement and extension of Wind Breathing, with a rarity higher than the five major basic breathing techniques.
As for Kamado Tanjiro, in addition to Water Breathing, one of the five major basic breaths, he also had the Sun Breathing, the Dance of the Fire God Kagura, and a very rare mixed breathing technique.
However, often, strength doesn't necessarily mean it's the best; it needs to suit oneself.
Although Beast Breathing strengthens physical attributes, it requires a wild nature and not everyone can exert its power.
Kamado Tanjiro's Sun Breathing was very powerful, but as far as Bai Ye knew, it was a breathing technique that required completing hidden quests to learn all its forms, which was very troublesome.
As for mixed breathing...
It required knowing two breathing techniques first.
Therefore, the only one that could be used directly was Water Breathing.
Moreover, Bai Ye couldn't be sure which breathing technique he would randomly get with Kamado Tanjiro, so it was more suitable for him to steadily obtain the Thunder Breathing technique.
Bai Ye didn't give the two of them a chance to thank him, lest he be considered to have saved them, and directly said, "Have you seen any other spider demons, especially..."
Bai Ye reached out and gestured below his chest.
"A short spider demon, about chest height or lower," Bai Ye said, "It should be the youngest child in the spider demon family, the smallest one."
Kamado Tanjiro and Inosuke looked at each other, and then said, "We saw a female spider demon before, at the outskirts of Natagumo Mountain. She killed many of our teammates. We haven't seen the short spider demon you mentioned."
After Kamado Tanjiro finished speaking, he thought for a moment.
"We received orders to exterminate demons," Kamado Tanjiro said. "Other Demon Slayer Corps members arrived before us and unfortunately encountered trouble. Judging by their movement route, they should have been heading towards the mountain peak forest."
Inosuke said dismissively, "Anyway, the Twelve Kizuki have been killed, and the rest won't be powerful characters. Let this great me cut them all down."
Bai Ye said, "Who said the one on the ground was one of the Twelve Kizuki?"
Kamado Tanjiro was surprised, "Wasn't he one of the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki?"
"No," Bai Ye said. "The little one I'm talking about is."
Bai Ye said, while looking around.
In his previous life, Bai Ye was chased by spider demons on Mt. Natagumo, and he was chased by the spider demon's older brother and father, which was why Bai Ye could accurately know their locations.
As for the other three spider demons, Bai Ye had only seen the spider demon's older sister, who should be in the eastern mountain hollow area.
However, the spider demon Kamado Tanjiro mentioned was at the mountain entrance, some distance from the mountain hollow, so it should be the spider demon's mother.
In that case...
Bai Ye calculated in his mind. The route started from the mountain entrance. Excluding the areas where the three spider demons he knew were located, the remaining route...
It was naturally the area where Lower Rank Moon was located!
"Thank you!" Having obtained the information he wanted, Bai Ye nodded to Kamado Tanjiro and Inosuke and said, "Leave the rest to me."
