Although it was in the crowd, moving quietly didn't seem to be difficult for Chiba Mochizuki and this beastly ninja.

Their distance ranged from five zhang to four zhang, and then from four zhang to three zhang...... Erzhang, just when the two were about to make a move, the ninja turned his head to look and found that the young samurai had turned his head and left, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was loyal to the personnel, he immediately took two steps back, glared at Mochizuki Chiba, and turned to follow the strange young man.

Chiba relaxed and glanced back, the wedding of Sasa Naruma and Ayahime in the crowd was still going on, but Sasa Narumasa, who was the groom's official, did not have much joy on his face, but revealed a little anxiety.

After a moment's thought, Chiba followed the direction of the youth and the ninja.

Although it is said that the main task of his trip is Zuo Chengzheng, the person who is just that person may become a breakthrough for him to contact Chengzheng.

Such a worthy goal, Chiba is unwilling to give up.

The three of them went one after the other, and soon left Sakado Castle far away.

The young samurai rode a white Mutsu Okura horse and walked leisurely along the mountain road.

Although the speed was not fast, Chiba also took a step, and he could barely keep up with it after walking quickly.

After following up in the mountains, Chiba found that he couldn't find the ninja anymore.

He wasn't surprised, it was a normal thing, and ninjas were supposed to be hidden in the shadows, so it was unusual to keep it exposed as before.

He listened intently as he walked, completely unaware of the ninja's beastly aura.

This made Mochizuki Chiba even more confused.

As time went on and the fatigue of the continuous sprint, Chiba Mochizuki became irritable, but the young samurai in front of him turned to the back of the mountain at this time.

Chiba's vision was blocked by the trees on the mountain, so he sped up to catch up with the young samurai, but when the path forked, Chiba suddenly felt uneasy.

He reflexively grasped the knife, rolled towards the side of the forest of the principle, and when he got up, he pulled out the knife and clenched his hands forward.

The action was done in one go, and after Chiba stood up, he also found that there was a gray wolf standing where he was standing.

This wolf is not very large, but it has a fierce appearance, and a pair of green eyes have a terrifying cunning.

Wolves rarely take the initiative to attack people, which Chiba Mochizuki knows very well.

But why did the wolf set his sights on him?

Chiba admits that he has not been to Nanyue, so it would be too far-fetched to insist that he has an enmity with this wolf.

Unless...... Chiba suddenly thought of a possibility.

Unless...... This wolf is raised by humans, and resembles a military dog.

However, wolves are not dogs, and how easy is it to domesticate wolves?

"┗|'O′|┛嗷~~"

There was a low roar in the dense forest, and the wolf who was confronting Chiba seemed to have received some kind of command, and began to grin and approach Chiba.

"Is it really domesticated......

Although there was only one voice, Chiba had already heard that the wolf howl was not from the wolf's mouth, but the onomatopoeia of a person.

Who could it be?

He thought that he had no enmity with anyone, even if it was his master, it was long gone...... Who will be the owner of this wolf?

Why are they ambushing him here?

While thinking about it, the gray wolf had already let out a low roar and pounced.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Chiba's mouth...... It's just a wolf, what's there to be afraid of?

He raised his sword to meet it, and the moment the gray wolf jumped up and pounced, Chiba suddenly lowered himself and held the knife high above his head.

Suddenly, a man and a wolf were separated at the touch of a button.

Mochizuki Chiba's knife and sleeves were stained with blood, but the blood was not his, but the wolf's!

When the wolf jumped up, Chiba cut the softest and most fragile abdomen with a knife, and its intestines flowed to the ground, lying on the ground and whimpering, not far from death.

Mochizuki Chiba breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed at this deep and dim forest with a knife:

"Who?"

A hot mountain breeze blew, and Chiba was greeted only by a low whimper.

Of course, this whimper was made by someone imitating a wolf, but after that, Chiba suddenly felt an indescribable fear.

Fear, inexplicable fear, so much fear that his hairs stood up involuntarily, and goosebumps got on his body.

Just under Chiba's gaze, another wolf stepped out of the mountain forest.

And then there'...... Two, three, five......

In the end, a total of nineteen wolves surrounded Chiba in a horseshoe shape.

One wolf is easy to deal with, but it will take some effort for both.

If it was three, Chiba would have to pay a painful wound to survive, and if it was five, he thought there was no possibility of escape.

But...... There were 19 wolves in front of me.

Let alone...... The wolves were still obedient to their masters, advancing and retreating in accordance with the law and in an orderly manner.

There was a strange laugh in the mountains and forests.

"I said what else do you have the ability to, it turns out that you are even afraid of a group of hairy dogs."

"Come out!"

Mochizuki Chiba knew that he was invincible, and he was already planning how to escape, but he felt at the moment that no matter where he ran, he would not be able to outrun this group of wolves.

"It's your honor to meet the Venerable Tooth Beast before you die!"

A diminutive ninja stepped out of the shadows and pulled down his scarf, and Chiba Mochizuki couldn't help but be stunned.

This person...... Isn't that the ninja he stalked?

No wonder he could sense the beast-like aura from this person, but he was afraid that this ninja was a beast at all!

"You...... It's really unreasonable, Your Highness doesn't want to trouble you, but you come to follow Your Highness...... There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come...... Accept your fate, and I'll let you die a happy death!

…… The only chance to survive is to defeat this beastly ninja.

Mochizuki Chiba came to this conclusion in a very short period of time, and it was indeed beyond his strength to fight against the wolves alone, but if he could bombard the ninja with lightning speed...... The wolves are leaderless, and he still has hope of living.

It's just that...... There is a pack of wolves between him and the ninja, will he be able to break through?

The wolves whimpered and slowly pushed forward, and the highly nervous Mochizuki Chiba was also retreating step by step.

After taking eight steps back, he suddenly felt the tip of the knife against his back.

Chiba's heart sank.

In hindsight, he couldn't help but regret a little, since this ninja ambushed him, then his master might also be among the ambushers, Mochizuki Chiba was engrossed in paying attention to the tooth beast and the wolves, but ignored the young and handsome samurai.

Now I finally realized the knife behind me, but it was too late.

In the game of victory and defeat, life and death...... Late is defeat, defeat is death.

Chiba Mochizuki reversed the handle of the knife and stuck it into the grass.

"The one in the back, can you give me a great name, so that I can die blindly."

For the first time in a few days, Chiba opened his mouth to say so much, but the man behind him did not respond, but asked:

"Who are you?"

"Chiba Mochizuki."

"People from the Mochizuki family? What is your relationship with Chiyo Mochizuki? ”

Hearing Chiyonu's name, Chiba's heart sank...... It seems that this person is not only related to Sazo Chengzheng, but I am afraid that he also has a lot of friendship.

"I'm her nephew."

"Since you are the nephew of Chiyo Mochizuki, why don't you go to Sakado Castle to find her? Even if you want to go to Sasa Chengmasa, you don't need to follow me. ”

“…… From the swordsman's instincts. ”

"Say! What do you see! ”

The voice of the man behind him was tight, which made Chiba a little puzzled.

“…… See you're crying. ”

"What else? Tell me everything you see, word for word, or ......"

The voice of the man behind him was so fierce that Chiba felt the pressure of the mountains, and he was so heavy that he could barely stand up straight.

…… Who is he and why is he more terrifying than Takeda Nobuyoshi?

"It's gone."

"Do what you have to do."

The man behind him snorted coldly, then suddenly put away the sword, turned around and walked away, the ninja with the wolf pack seemed unwilling, but seeing the master act like this, it was inconvenient for him to kill Chiba again.

The wolves negligently disappeared into the forest, and the young man gradually walked away.

Mochizuki Chiba didn't know why, sighed and re-embarked on the road to Sakado Castle.

It was only after dark that night that he arrived at the foot of Sakado Castle, and the streets were filled with the chaos of the aftermath of the event.

Chiba still wears a hat on his head, and walks without hurry.

Suddenly, a horse galloped through the street, and he quickly dodged, only to see that the knight was a tall warrior.

…… It was so strange that Chiba shook her head and looked for a dormitory.

But what he racked his brains and didn't expect was that the Sasa Seimasa he was looking for on this trip was actually no longer in Sakado Castle!
