This was an intuition.
Although the High Martial World did not have Spiritual Qi, cosmic energy, or other chaotic things.
But the feeling in the High Martial World was very different from the feeling in the ordinary world Ryo was in before his Transmigration.
Moreover, as far as he knew.
The wilderness of the High Martial World had many dangerous creatures.
Only large towns would be safer.
Because no one knew what other worlds the wilderness was connected to.
And now, in this forest, for now, there were no obvious dangerous creatures.
Of course, if you didn’t count the ‘cancer of the Earth’ beside him.
“Where is this place?”
“So dizzy.”
Fujiwara Chika clutched her head and shook it.
“Oh, right, I was swallowed by a spatial rift with a strange boy.”
“So, what was so strange about me?”
Ryo spoke helplessly, startling Secretary Fujiwara.
“Sorry, sorry.”
Secretary Fujiwara clasped her hands together, raising them above her head in apology.
“I saw you running straight towards me, so it felt a little strange.”
Secretary Fujiwara had a very good personality; her apologies were sincere, she was easygoing and down-to-earth, without any airs of a Young Miss.
Ryo had only casually complained, not dwelling on it too much.
His attention was more focused on the surrounding environment.
He didn’t know why, but this snow-covered forest always gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
As if he had seen it somewhere before.
But speaking of it, weren’t snow-covered forests like this everywhere?
“So cold.”
Secretary Fujiwara rubbed her hands and stomped her feet in place.
Ryo was also cold.
The temperature was already below minus ten degrees Celsius.
They were both wearing summer clothes, so of course they were cold.
Strong individuals naturally wouldn’t fear this bit of cold, but the two of them were still too weak now.
“Hold this backpack, it’ll be a little warmer.”
Ryo threw the backpack from his back to Fujiwara Chika, while he began to use his Breathing Technique to resist the cold.
“Oh, right, what is your body Rank?”
Ryo asked.
“Rank 2.9,” Fujiwara Chika answered honestly.
She didn’t like martial arts training.
Compared to martial arts, she preferred music and eating.
“Hurry and give me back my backpack,” Ryo complained inwardly.
However, in the end, Ryo still didn’t ask for the backpack back.
Because Fujiwara Chika’s body Rank was purely built up through resources, and her skills were terrible.
“Let’s go.”
Ryo observed the surroundings briefly and said.
“Where to?”
Secretary Fujiwara clutched the backpack tightly, asking somewhat timidly.
This was slightly different from the Secretary Fujiwara in Ryo’s impression.
After all, in the original work, Secretary Fujiwara’s abilities were still very strong.
But that should have been in an orderly, complete real society; suddenly Transmigration to this kind of otherworld.
Having lost order and the protection of her family, Secretary Fujiwara, as a martial arts Trash, naturally felt very insecure.
“First, let’s find a place where people live.”
“If there really isn’t one, we’ll find a cave to take shelter in.”
Ryo said.
He had already experienced one sudden Transmigration, and psychologically, he accepted it quite quickly.
Moreover, with his current physical strength and the Breathing Technique, lasting until dawn was not a problem.
If he really couldn’t find any human traces, hunting some animals would prevent him from truly freezing or starving to death here.
There was no immediate danger to life.
Ryo walked in front, with Secretary Fujiwara, clutching the backpack, following closely behind.
Fortunately, she wasn’t a purely weak woman; with her body Rank, she could easily keep up with Ryo.
Walking in this place that resembled a primeval forest.
From time to time, the roars of fierce beasts or other unknown, sharp hissing sounds rang out.
Making Secretary Fujiwara hurry a few steps, following Ryo even closer.
As if to embolden herself.
Fujiwara Chika looked at Ryo’s back and spoke softly.
“Speaking of which, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet, have we?”
“My name is Fujiwara… Fujiwara Kaguya.”
When she mentioned her name, Fujiwara Chika paused, swapping her own name with her friend Kaguya’s name.
After all, the Fujiwara Family was quite famous in Z City.
In this otherworld where her calls for help would go unanswered, she was truly worried that the boy in front might harbor ill intentions because of it.
“My name is Ryo.”
Ryo smiled.
Ryo saw through Secretary’s little thoughts very clearly.
He was about to tease her a bit.
Suddenly, Ryo stopped in his tracks.
“Found it.”
Ahead was a small patch of tree stumps, clearly cut down by humans with an axe.
And next to this small patch of tree stumps, there was also a path that wasn’t very obvious.
Phew.
Ryo breathed a sigh of relief; it was good to have traces of human activity.
He didn’t want to really stay in the forest and live like a wild man.
“It’s real, that’s great!”
Secretary Fujiwara also saw the tree stump traces and said happily.
“You’re amazing, Ryo.”
In her joy, Secretary didn’t forget to provide emotional value to Ryo.
Finding people was only the first step.
He also needed to determine which world he was in; if it was a world connected to the High Martial World, that would be fine.
If it was an unknown world, then it would be troublesome.
He might not be able to go back.
Ryo walked towards the small path.
This path was used by people, but probably by very few, so the tracks were not very obvious.
When he reached the edge of the path, Ryo discovered that there were thin red lines tied to the trees on both sides of the path.
Some bells were also hanging on them.
“Lines and bells?”
Ryo’s sense of familiar déjà vu grew stronger and stronger.
“Ryo.”
Secretary Fujiwara timidly poked Ryo’s arm.
“What’s wrong, Fujiwara (student)?”
“I seem to hear a sound coming from afar, it doesn’t sound like a beast.”
Secretary Fujiwara said.
Her body Rank was nearly one Rank higher than Ryo’s, making her five senses more acute.
And she had a deep understanding of music.
The sound coming from afar seemed to be produced by some kind of bell instrument.
“You lead the way, let’s go.”
After hearing Secretary Fujiwara’s words, Ryo also chose to believe her without hesitation, immediately heading towards the source of the sound she heard.
Ding-dong.
The closer they got to that direction, the wider the path became.
At the same time, the sound became clearer, and Ryo could also hear it.
It sounded like someone forcefully shaking a string of bells, producing short, powerful chimes.
Finally, Ryo could already see the burning firelight.
Within the four clusters of firelight.
A person, dressed in strange clothes, held a sacred Kagura bell and performed a dance that was quite beautiful.
“It’s so beautiful.”
The two had already walked closer.
Secretary Fujiwara was captivated by the wonderful dance.
It was full of power and beauty, surpassing any dance she had ever seen.
And Ryo, beside her, was also stunned in place.
The next moment.
His entire gaze lit up.
He finally knew why he had had that sense of déjà vu earlier.
At the same time, his worries about being trapped in an otherworld vanished into thin air.
This was the Demon Slayer World.
And the one dancing in front of him.
Was undoubtedly Tanjuro, performing the Hinokami Kagura.
