"He's dead! He's dead!" Zenitsu screamed, terrified by the Slayer's unconsciousness.
Ryuji, sensing a faint pulse, said, "He's not dead. There's a faint pulse."
He used Wood Breathing to protect the Slayer's heart, sustaining him.
This was all he could do; a full-scale rescue wasn't feasible. Wood Breathing wasn't resurrection; it couldn't instantly revive the Slayer.
However, Ryuji felt the Slayer's life force slowly ebbing, a process Wood Breathing couldn't reverse. He sighed inwardly.
"Ryuji-senpai, how is he?" Tanjiro, knowing Ryuji was using a special technique, asked after he withdrew his hand.
Ryuji didn't reveal the truth, saying, "He's stable for now."
"That's great!" Tanjiro exclaimed, relieved.
Ryuji looked at Zenitsu. "Zenitsu, you don't want to enter the mountain. Stay here and watch over him until we return."
He turned to Tanjiro. "Let's go."
Tanjiro nodded, agreeing.
Ryuji, without hesitation, entered the mountain.
Zenitsu, watching them go, cried out, "Hey…"
He could only watch as they disappeared into the mountain.
Once they were gone, Zenitsu sighed, looking at the barely alive Slayer.
He sat beside him, hugging his knees.
Entering Spider Mountain, Tanjiro detected a strong smell of blood, his expression hardening.
"Tanjiro, any findings? Which direction should we go?" Ryuji asked.
Wandering aimlessly was inefficient; relying on Tanjiro's keen sense of smell was the best option.
Tanjiro sniffed, analyzing the complex scents, heading towards the strongest smell of blood.
He planned to investigate the strongest scent, hoping to find survivors or demons, following their trail.
Ryuji and Inosuke followed Tanjiro.
