Konoha Thief

Chapter 124

Chapter 124

The pastures are withered and yellow, the autumn wind is bleak, and the world is filled with a murderous atmosphere.

"This wind is as cold as a knife!"

Keita Hyuga rubbed the Wind Sword and Frost Sword, and ran from the front of the escort team to the end with his painful face.

Since the attack on Xiazhi Forest, the warriors no longer cared about the driver and some servants who drove the carriage, and they all gathered around the red silk carriage.

At first, the samurai guards were strict and they were full of frightened birds. After several days of running around, they wandered around izakaya and Pink Lane when passing through Baiquan City, and their condition seemed to be back to normal.

"I just hope that I can cross this barren wilderness before night falls." Saito Kyoko hid beside the box of the carriage to avoid the wind, and said with a pursed mouth.

"This is also my wish." Kuno Heiyu answered immediately.

Xia Shu squinted at him, feeling that this guy seemed to have evolved into some kind of inhuman creature called "Licking Dog".

However, he also had to agree that the cold wind blowing across the boundless wilderness from a distance was really unbearable. Even if the shadow ninjas were summoned to form a wall to block the wind, the bleak and ruthless late autumn chill still blew. It makes people shudder.

However, if he agrees, he agrees, but his reason tells him that he will not be able to cross this boundless wilderness tonight, and even at this speed, the escort team may not be able to completely cross it tomorrow.

A ninja's half-day trip is worth a three-day trek for ordinary people, so the escort team still hasn't reached the first mountain that must be detoured.

Dusk ended, and the world was vast.

The bleak wind intensified over the wilderness, several earth caves rose up and turned into four walls, surrounding the escort team, and this was considered a shelter from the wind for the night.

The fire ignited, and the warm breath gradually permeated, and was restrained within the square earth escape wall.

When Kosuke Maruyoshi returns, a group of people don’t have to eat jerky anymore. Although Xia Shu thinks the taste is not bad, he only treats it as an occasional change of taste. Usually, it’s more purely used to neutralize the bitter taste of the pills. snacks.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Hinata Keita stopped him when he took out the jerky just now?And just stop it, what does it mean to wink at him, don't you know what your eyes look like? !

Putting away the jerky silently, Keita Hyuga nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, as if saying with his eyes: Everything is in the air!

Xia Shu was silent immediately, his lips were tightly pressed together, he had to do this, otherwise he was afraid that he would breathe out the fragrance.

Silent all night.

The next day, even sitting in the carriage, it might not be comfortable to be exposed to the cold wind. Before departure, Sakura came to ask the team to speed up, at least to leave this desolate wasteland before dusk.

Yueguang Xingbo had nothing to do with this, and after notifying him, the team immediately accelerated.

All the way was unimpeded, and when the night fell, the escort team finally saw the mountain that was about to detour.

The escort team did not have the custom of rushing at night, especially when they circled the mountains at night, if there was an ambush, it would be difficult to deal with it for a while, so they immediately found a flat place to set up camp.

The escort ninjas gathered together to divide up their guards and vigil.

Pathfinding should be done, but it's okay to wait until tomorrow morning. After all, with Keita Hinata's eyes, once he encounters a night attack, he will definitely be able to detect it immediately.

At night, the desolate wind stopped, and the stars in the sky were long, shining with indifferent light.

On a big rock, the young man sat cross-legged quietly, refining his chakras, probably when the food energy was digested, the meridians would be filled again.

As usual, half of it was divided and filled into the "deep pit". The bottomless black hole slowly rotated, as if it was pregnant with new expectations.

"Matsuzaki-kun, go and rest."

Nozomi Kurama and Kyoko Saito came over to watch the night in shifts, replacing Natsuki and Kuno Kuroyu.

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded yes, ignoring Xiaoyuan's face, saying that a certain licking dog who was going to keep watch with her got into a sleeping bag to rest.

The habit he has developed allows him to fall asleep quickly, and the biological clock wakes him up on time the next day, but before breakfast, he finds that Hinata Keita's expression is slightly tired and dignified.

After being slightly taken aback, he probably caught something.

Yesterday's vigil was arranged in groups of two, such as him and Kuno Kurogure, Kuruma Nozomi and Saito Kyoko, followed by Hinata Keita and Maruhoshi Kosuke, and finally Aoki Gennosuke and Tsukihiro Yukihiro.

As the main combat force, the two leading ninjas naturally had to ensure adequate rest, so they were arranged at dawn.

It's just that seeing Keita Hyuga's appearance, it seems that something unexpected happened.

Subsequent arrangements also confirmed this speculation.

The breakfast was lit, and the wayfinding discussed last night seemed to only exist in Natsuki's memory. Kuno Kuroyu wanted to mention it, but was immediately blocked by Saito Kyoko... Well, with a piece of hard to the teeth dry food.

However, seeing Kuno Heiyu's happy face, I am afraid that even if he was given a bone, he could chew it into bone dregs and swallow it.

After breakfast, Sakura waiter couldn't wait to leave this wasteland. Following her order, the team took advantage of the cold morning wind and set off on the road.

This is much earlier than usual.

Xia Shu sat in the carriage as usual, but this time he didn't split half of the Chakra into the "deep pit" as usual.

Although no one said it, but from various signs, Hyuga Keita must have discovered the situation, and at this moment he is planning to plan.

When the team arrived in front of the mountain, Yueguang Xingbo looked up at the mountain that blocked the way, and estimated in his heart that if he wanted to climb the mountain, it would take half an hour if he didn't rush.

"Mountain peaks block the way, so we can only detour."

At this time, Gennosuke Aoki came to his side, pretending to look down at the map.

"I want to go around, either south or north." Yueguang Xingbo looked at him sideways, "Which side is better to go marked on the map?"

After saying this, he casually glanced at Hinata Keita.

The white-eyed boy's eyes were pale, and the veins around his eye sockets were ferocious. He nodded lightly and casually.

"This place is sparsely populated, the more you go east, the more so, and the map is not very detailed." Aoki Gennosuke shrugged and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Yueguang Xingbo pinched his chin and frowned worryingly, pondered for a long time, and sighed depressingly: "Then just choose one... side!"

He stretched out his hand to point to the north, and quickly rowed south.

"I met ambush in the north before, this time I chose the south!" He turned his head and explained casually.

Ying Shi, who came out of the red silk carriage, was noncommittal when he heard the words, and then dropped the curtain to block his sight.

The two leading ninjas sang together and made a decision. Xia Shu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, looked sideways at the northern part of the mountain, and sneered.

Still want to ambush under the supercilious look?Simply whimsical!

But this also proves that the ambush is not Xia Zhisen's suspected Tang Yin.
