Zhao Guoqing turned around and looked through the crack in the door to see that Oda Shinzo, who was still talking outside just now, was no longer there.

Oda Shinzo is definitely not as honest as it seems.

Zhao Guoqing followed the scout who appeared here all the way, and he clearly knew how alert the other party was, and he would never be easily discovered.

It's a miracle that Oda Shinzo not only found the scout, but also survived.

Zhao Guoqing doesn't believe in the so-called miracle, he only believes in one thing, there is something wrong with Oda Shinzo, and the guy who entered the room may be Oda Shinzo.

Zhao Guoqing and the others occupied a total of four rooms, and the jungle wolf was not fascinated by the drug because of its particularity, and he witnessed everything.

"Squeak." The door was pushed open and the timberwolf dodged in, and said in a low voice, "Things are exactly the same as you think, there is something wrong with that Oda Shinzo." ”

"What is he looking for in our room?" Zhao Guoqing asked curiously.

The timberwolf shook his head and said, "I don't know. That guy is definitely not simple, very alert, I was afraid of sweeping the grass and startling the snake, so I didn't alarm him. What is certain is that he didn't take anything away, though. ”

If he didn't take anything, does that mean he didn't find what he was looking for?

"That's right. He found the map that Stephen had hidden in the urn, but only looked at it and put it back away. The Timberwolf continued.

Zhao Guoqing's brows tightened, and he felt even more incredible.

No matter what secrets Shinzo Oda hides, he is a person to be reckoned with.

"Do you want me to wake everyone up and tell them about it?" Timberwolf asked.

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said, "No, don't say anything about this matter." ”

"Understood." The timberwolf replied, opened the door, and squeezed out again, and entered Susan's room.

This night, the Jungle Wolf and Zhao Guoqing jointly guarded everyone's safety.

The next morning, everyone woke up one after another, and they all felt that it was unbelievable that they hadn't woken up all night, which was absolutely impossible for a highly alert mercenary.

However, due to the deliberate concealment of Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolves, and the fact that no one discussed last night's incident, everyone did not know about the arrival of the dark mercenaries and the search of Oda Shinzo to salute them.

During breakfast, Zhao Guoqing secretly reminded: "Although this is the local faction of the Koga ninja, it is inevitable that those who want to fight the treasure idea will not look for trouble, no matter what action you take today, everyone must be careful and be ready to fight at any time." ”

"Yes." Everyone responded, and everyone was secretly vigilant and ready for battle.

Not long after breakfast, Oda Shinzo came to see Zhao Guoqing and the others, and he also did not mention the attack last night.

After a few words, the group headed to the mountains of southern Shiga Prefecture under the leadership of Oda Shinzo, which was basically the same location of the temple that Danny had found through the satellite, so that most people did not suspect anything about him.

Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, Zhao Guoqing and others abandoned the car and walked after entering the mountain.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the more difficult the road becomes, and in the end there is basically no road to talk about.

Oda Shinzo was indeed very familiar with this generation, and every day in one place he could tell an allusion or a story of a ninja battle, which also added a touch of fun to the journey.

"I'm glad you found me. For hundreds of years, Koga ninjas have practiced in this deep mountain, and they have set up many mechanisms to prevent outsiders from entering, and I wonder how many people have died in this deep mountain because they don't know where the institutions are? Oda Shinzo preached during a break.

"So, you know where the ninjas are?" Zhao Guoqing asked suddenly.

Oda Shinzo smiled bitterly and said, "How can I know." It's just that we know where there is no mechanism, and we can only ensure everyone's safety by taking these roads. "Actually, the ninja mechanism is not the biggest threat we face, the biggest threat to us is the natural environment in this mountain. ”

"What do you mean?" Stephen asked curiously.

Oda Shinzo deliberately made a mysterious appearance and said, "This mountain is a natural labyrinth, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in the forest, so even the natives dare not venture into it." ”

This is true.

Along the way, Zhao Guoqing secretly observed and found that this deep mountain is indeed like a labyrinth, and some places have even been artificially modified, and it is easy to get lost when walking here.

Oda Shinzo looked up at the sun hanging overhead, got up and said, "Let's go." It is better to find a suitable place to rest after dark, otherwise it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts in the mountains once it is night. ”

"Why, can't we make it to the temple today?" Stephen asked hurriedly.

"It's not as easy as you say." Oda Shizo smiled bitterly and continued, "As I have already said, this mountain is a natural labyrinth, and even I dare not make any guarantees. If we're lucky, we'll be there tomorrow before dark, and if we're unlucky, we'll be there."

Oda Shinzo didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone knew what it meant, and everyone could get lost in the mountains.

"Let's go, let's hurry up." Zhao Guoqing got up and spoke, making eye contact with everyone as he spoke, secretly signaling everyone to be careful.

After climbing another mountain, Zhao Guoqing and the others entered the dense mountain forest.

The vegetation here is so abundant that there are very few humans who have set foot in this place, and everything looks so primitive.

After turning around in the mountains and forests for two hours, Susan suddenly quickened her pace and came to Zhao Guoqing's side, and after glancing at Oda Shinzo who was walking in front, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Something is wrong. As he spoke, he pointed to the root of a large tree in front of him on his right and said, "Look, I made it with a knife, and we've been here before." ”

Zhao Guoqing took a look, and sure enough, he saw a knife mark at the root of the tree.

"That guy might be deliberately taking us around in circles!" Susan spoke in a low voice.

"Wow." At that moment, there was a noise in front of him, and then Oda Shinzo's body was seen bouncing into the air, accompanied by a scream of surprise.

"Help, hurry up and let me down!" Oda Shinzo shouted as he hung upside down in the air.

"Don't panic, we'll save you!" Stephen shouted and tried to step forward to untie the rope that had fallen off Oda Shinzo.

"Don't.. Don't move! Oda Shinzo shouted in a row, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, calmly observing the surroundings, and said in a deep voice, "This must be a ninja trap, there may be other mechanisms nearby, you must not touch them." ”

Stephen was startled and hurriedly stopped.

Zhao Guoqing walked up to Stephen and took a closer look, and found that under the weeds less than a meter away from him was hiding a trap similar to a beast trap.

This thing is very powerful, with a very strong bite force, and can directly break human bones.

If it weren't for Oda Shinzo's loud reminder, Stephen would have been a cripple by now.

Zhao Guoqing's eyebrows were secretly locked, and he was even more suspicious of Oda Shinzo.

It was indeed a ninja trap hanging upside down, but this trap usually didn't exist alone, and there should have been an accompanying bamboo arrow or something like that to shoot through him, but that kind of thing didn't appear.

In addition, Oda Shinzo's reminder was too coincidental, and he seemed to be deliberately protecting Stephen.

In other words, he knew about the existence of the mechanism early on.

What the hell is this guy playing?

"Hey, don't be stunned, hurry up and find a way to save me, I'm about to vomit when I'm hung like this!" Oda Shinzo shouted again.

Stephen almost stepped on the clip, this time he learned to be obedient, and when he heard Oda Shinzo's cry for help, he no longer stepped forward, but turned his head and shouted at Zhao Guoqing and the others: "Hurry up and find a way to save him!" ”

In fact, except for the trap in front of him, which was similar to a trap of animal traps, there was no other mechanism within twenty meters, and Zhao Guoqing stepped forward to cut off the strong son and let Oda Shinzo down.

"How are you, are you alright?" Stephen stepped forward and asked with concern.

Oda Shinzo's whole body seemed to be in prostration, sweating profusely, and he sat on the ground and said fearfully while wiping his sweat: "No.. It's okay. As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Guoqing and the others, and said with a wry smile, "How is it?" I'm telling you that there are a lot of ninja traps here, right? Even I was tricked. ”

Zhao Guoqing handed over the water and said, "Let's drink saliva and rest first." ”

"Thank you." Oda Shinzo took a sip of what he said, then turned his head to look around, and exclaimed with surprise on his face, "Hey, we seem to have been here before, could it be that we are lost?" ”

What a cunning guy!

Zhao Guoqing secretly shouted to himself, this Oda Shinzo must have found out that everyone began to suspect him, and deliberately stepped into the trap, and now he preemptively said that he was lost, so he blocked everyone's suspicions.

"Ah, lost!" Stephen exclaimed, looking very panicked.

Oda Shinzo struggled to stand up, turned his head to observe back and forth again, stretched out his finger and pointed to the front and said, "Don't panic, there is a fork in the road ahead, as long as we take another road, we should be able to get out." ”

"Oh, that's it." Stephen let out a long sigh of relief, turned to Zhao Guoqing and said, "Then let's go quickly." ”

"Okay." Zhao Guoqing replied softly, but his eyes were keenly observing the surroundings, and then he glanced at the jungle wolf.

The Timberwolf nodded.

The crowd began to move forward again, but few noticed that the timberwolves suddenly disappeared, and when they reached the fork in the road, the timberwolves appeared behind the group.

"How?" Zhao Guoqing asked in a low voice.

"It's the spies of the dark mercenaries, there are two of them, and I've already dealt with them." The Timberwolf whispered back.

Zhao Guoqing nodded with satisfaction, but he also knew that this was only temporarily stopping the dark mercenaries, but he couldn't really get rid of them.
