Looking at the fresh snow footprints, everyone couldn't help but be alert, and they held their breath and looked into the forest.

Luo Shiyin made a few gestures, signaling everyone to disperse and approach the forest in an outflanking formation.

A flock of foraging birds were disturbed and scrambled to fly out of the dense forest.

Under the command of Luo Shiyin, everyone lowered their bodies and entered the dense forest.

The light in the forest immediately dimmed.

This is a dense forest that is inaccessible to people, and the thousand-year-old trees are dense and upright, covering the sky and the sun.

The mountain wind blew, and the snow on the branches of the ancient trees was blown down from time to time and landed on the snow in the forest, and several unknown small beasts that foraged on the snow were frightened and fled in all directions.

Everyone followed the footprints scattered in the snow in the forest.

From time to time, the sound of heaven from far and near added a little vitality to this dead forest.

At this time, no one spoke up, and everyone knew very well that in this kind of hidden killing place, any recklessness could put everyone in danger, and we must be up to the spirit of twelve, and we must not be sloppy.

The footprints left by the Japanese people continue to extend deep into the forest.

Luo Shiyin beckoned Abbot Hunneng and Jin Yingzi to come to his side.

"Judging by the distance we've traveled, where are we in the woods now?" Luo Shiyin whispered to Hunneng and Jin Yingzi, who walked to the side.

"I don't really know about that." Huenon shook his head.

"My husband and I went here this autumn to pick wild mushrooms, and from where we were, we were probably in the middle of the forest. On the other side of the forest is an open area. It is estimated that you will be able to get out of this woodland around noon. Seeing that Hunneng failed to answer Luo Shiyin's question, Jin Yingzi hurriedly said.

After listening to Jin Yingzi's answer, Luo Shiyin looked around, and at this time, Shi Lang walked closer and reported in a low voice: "My lord, it seems that there is fog in the forest. ”

Listening to Shi Lang's words, Luo Shiyin looked into the forests on the left and right.

Sure enough, from the dense forest on the left and right, a thick mist drifted in. Immediately afterwards, fog was also found in the front and rear directions.

"It is said that in this season, in this kind of weather, there should be no fog." Hugh could mumble to himself in confusion.

The fog became heavier and heavier, and in an instant, everyone's location was shrouded in thick fog.

"Everyone try to get closer together and pay attention to the movement around you!" Luo Shiyin commanded in a low voice.

According to Luo Shiyin's instructions, everyone gathered in formation and carefully groped forward.

The dense forest shrouded in dense fog is even more mysterious and terrifying.

Suddenly, a strange flute sound came from not far away. The sound of the flute is not melodious, but it has a strange, weird, and magical charm. There seems to be a strange magic in the rhythm of the agitated flute, and there is an inexplicable killing force hidden in the unpredictable.

"Not good! Wakuni Ninja's "Magic Lai Daiyin"! Ye Ruliu, who heard the sound of the flute, couldn't help but look shocked.

Luo Shiyin heard the approach of danger from Ye Ruliu's trembling voice, and he motioned for everyone to stop advancing, and at the same time, his eyes looked at Ye Ruliu, motioning for her to continue.

"This "Magic Lai Daiyin" is a kind of flute song used by the ninjas of the Japanese Kingdom to drive away beasts. Legend has it that it was created by one of the highest-ranking ninja of Koga. This kind of music can change the rhythm of many kinds of sounds depending on the type of beast that drives it. The beast driven by this rhythm will be enchanted and frantically attack the target that the player is pointing at. Ye Ruliu said to Luo Shiyin in a quick tone.

"W-hmm"

As soon as Ye Ruliu's words fell, from all around where everyone was, there were clear bear calls. There was a hostile cry that seemed to signal an attack.

Xie Yuan and Jin Yingzi stood in the middle of the team. Miss Ye followed the two of them closely and was responsible for protecting them. The others form a circle and get ready to fight! Luo Shiyin commanded in a loud voice.

The bear's cries are getting closer and closer, one after another. Gradually, in the thick fog, everyone saw that more than a dozen huge black shadows had rushed to their eyes. The thick heat exhaled from the mouths and noses of the black bears has almost sprayed into the faces of the outermost personnel.

Jin Yingzi had never seen such a terrifying scene, and she couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations when she was surrounded by everyone.

"Your grandmother, are you still afraid that you won't make it?" Shi Tianji, who was at the forefront, was enraged by the hot breath exhaled by the black bear, only to see him shouting and scolding, and the iron double hammer in his hand had already smashed into the head of a black bear in front of him. The black bear couldn't dodge and was hit by an iron shoe on the head and temples. The black bear didn't have time to howl before it crashed to the ground.

Seeing that his companion had been killed, another even larger black bear immediately howled, stood up, and slapped Shi Tianji with his heavy front paws with two fingers. Jiuzhou Chinese

A good Shi Tianji, seeing the black bear's claws coming, rolled on the spot, flashed behind the black bear, and smashed the double mace in his hand to the black bear's two hind legs at the moment of getting up. Only two crisp sounds of "click, click" were heard, and the two hind legs of the black bear were smashed alive. The injured black bear screamed, dragged the injured body and turned over and bit the neck of Shi Tianji, who had just stood up.

Shi Tianji's body was not yet fully stable, and it was difficult to dodge for a while in the face of the black bear that suddenly turned around and bit him. Seeing the big mouth of the black bear bite in front of him, Shi Tianji instinctively twisted his head to the side the moment before the black bear's two rows of sharp teeth bit him.

The black bear failed to bite Shi Tianji's neck, but bit the clothes on Shi Tianji's chest and pressed Shi Tianji to the ground.

At this critical moment, a figure flew up from behind the black bear, and at the moment when the black bear came out of his mouth and was about to bite Shi Tianji's face who was pressed to the ground, the embroidered spring knife in the hand of the flying black shadow had been inserted into the neck of the black bear.

The black bear howled, and his body went limp, pressing on Shi Tianji's body.

Shi Tianji forcefully pushed away the corpse of the black bear that was pressing on his body, and grinned at Shi Lang, who had just pulled out the embroidered spring knife from the black bear's erect neck, to express his gratitude.

Shi Tianji and Shi Lang dealt with the two most ferocious black bears, and the two did not dare to slack off, and continued to wave their weapons to kill the other black bears who were attacking the crowd.

Luo Shiyin, together with the abbot of Huneng and his monks, has killed five black bears. In the course of the fight, five or six of Abbot's disciples were unfortunately bitten by black bears.

The soldiers sent by Luo Shangzhi to protect Luo Shiyin were also unambiguous, and worked together to kill four black bears.

Ye Ruliu used her body to protect Xie Yuan and Jin Yingzi behind her. Fortunately, the three of them were always protected in the center of the team, and no black bear could attack the three of them.

After a fierce fight, more than a dozen black bears were eventually killed.

Everyone looked at the carcasses of more than a dozen huge black bears on the ground, and their hearts palpitated.

Ye Ruliu, Jin Yingzi and Xie Yuan helped the injured people under the tree and bandaged their wounds.

"His grandmother's! I didn't expect these Japanese ninjas to be able to drive the black bears in hibernation! It seems that you really can't underestimate these turtle grandchildren! Shi Tianji scolded fiercely while wiping the blood stains on the shovel.

"The fog is also coming a little strangely. It is said that this kind of sunny weather after snow generally does not produce such a large fog. Abbot Hunneng said in confusion.

"This should also be done by the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom. Legend has it that the Wa people learned about meteorology and chemistry from a Tang Dynasty monk who had traveled east to Fuso. The Japanese ninjas put them to good use in ninjutsu.

"In the Wa Kingdom, it is known that the Koga ninja are good at making all kinds of medicines and preparations, and one of them is a medicine that the ninja specially uses to create mist. It is said that when this potion is combined with hot spring water, the Japanese ninja spray it with a special nozzle, creating a large amount of dense fog in a short period of time. Presumably, there should be hot springs in this mountain. Xie Yuan analyzed for everyone.

"Yes, halfway up the mountain on the other side of this valley, there is a hot spring called Fumigation Spring, in which the spring water has a constant temperature all year round, which is very suitable for bathing." Jin Yingzi continued Xie Yuan's words.

"It's not a good place to stay long. We had to get through this forest quickly. The second attack of the Japanese ninja is sure to come soon. Luo Shiyin said when he saw that several of the injured had been bandaged.

"My lord, it seems that this group of Japanese ninjas is responsible for cutting off the forces of Yukicho Konishi. We shouldn't be very far from their large forces. Shi Lang said to Luo Shiyin.

"Yes, the first thing we need to do right now is to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese ninjas as soon as possible and discover the whereabouts of their large army as soon as possible. Yo, Lord Luo, they're catching up. As Luo Shiyin spoke, he found that the troops led by Luo Shangzhi rushed over.

The two armies converge into one.

Luo Shiyin briefly introduced to Luo Shangzhi what had just happened.

"So what should we do next?" After Luo Shangzhi listened to Luo Shiyin's introduction, he was first taken aback, and then asked.

"Now that we are united, I guess a few Japanese ninjas will not act rashly anymore. We should move quickly through this dense forest, and then, when we have the opportunity. Luo Shiyin said.

"Okay, just do as you say, my lord. Let's go! Luo Shangzhi agreed with Luo Shiyin's suggestion, but as soon as his words fell, the peculiar flute sound came from the depths of the dense forest again, and this time it was even more demonic than the last time.

"Looks like more beasts will be driven to attack us this time!" Ye Ruliu said.

"Brothers, cheer up! It doesn't matter what beasts or birds come. Let's let him come and go! Luo Shangzhi said loudly to his subordinates.

Everyone showed their weapons and formed a circular line, staring alertly at the foggy woods in front of them.

Ye Ruliu was not with Xie Yuan and Jin Yingzi. Due to the large number of people, she felt that Xie Yuan and Jin Yingzi, who were in the center of the queue, should be safe, so Ye Ruliu took the initiative to come to Shi Lang's side and fight side by side with Shi Lang.

"Woo-woo, woo-woo!"

With a few long howls of Siberian tigers, there was a huge roar around the forest, which was like a galloping horse and a huge current.

From this loud sound, everyone on the scene was clearly aware that a large number of wild beasts were rushing towards this side.

A great showdown between man and beast seems inevitable!
