The sun setting in the western sky reflected the clouds that covered the northern half of the sky, and the sky began to be colored with the color of the sun, and the light on the ground became darker.

Ogata wiped the beads of sweat that were about to drip down his chin as he looked at the huge wooden wall in front of him and muttered:

"It's finally here...... It's the same as what Zong Hai said...... The wooden walls on the outskirts of Toyowa Village are the shortest, and there are more than 3 rooms......"

Ogata and the others set out early in the morning, and it was already dusk, and they finally arrived at the village of Toyowa, which had been surrounded by wooden walls.

The reason why it took so long to reach the wooden walls of Toyowa Village was because Ogata spent most of their time hiding from ogres.

From Tenmanji Temple to Toyowa Village, Ogata and the others encountered three waves of ogres.

Ogata's first task now is to rush to Toyowa Village, but they don't have so much free time to waste on these cannibals.

So for these 3 waves of ogres, Ogata and the others relied on the terrain to throw them all away.

So it took a lot of time.

If it weren't for those cannibals standing in the way, with the footsteps of Ogata and the others, they could have arrived at Toyowa Village before noon.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......" Matsumoto held a large tree next to him, gasping for breath.

"Hey, Brother Matsumoto, are you okay?" Matsumoto's violent breathing made Makimura unsettling for him.

"Hah...... Still...... OK...... Ha...... It's just that...... I'm completely out of strength...... Ha ......"

"Hey, hey, hey." Makimura patted Matsumoto's back and said, "Why are your physical strength so poor?" After only two hits, I don't have the stamina. ”

"I'm a doctor...... Matsumoto said angrily, "unlike you martial arts practitioners......

"Good ......," muttered Mamiya, who was looking behind him, "no cannibals coming after him...... Looks like it should be safe here......"

Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.

Then he sighed lightly and sighed:

"Are those cannibals...... I didn't expect it to be an immortal existence......"

Today, it was the first time that Manomiya and Makimura had encountered a man-eater.

When encountering the first wave of ogres, in order to personally test whether the ogres were really unkillable, Mamiya and Makimura also rushed up to experiment with their own knives.

Then I intuitively felt the horror of the man-eating ghost's characteristic that can't be killed no matter how you kill it.

While Makimura was taking care of Matsumoto and Maimiya to check if there were any ogres coming from behind, Ogata and Amachi observed the tall wooden wall in front of them.

The wooden walls are quite crudely made.

It's just a matter of tying thick wooden pillars together and erecting them.

Each pillar is unevenly long, some longer, some shorter.

It can be seen that when making this wooden wall, the makers were very anxious, and they didn't bother to cut each wooden column into the same length, as long as it was long enough.

Behind the wooden wall, wooden watchtowers stand at intervals.

These wooden watchtowers are slightly higher than the wooden walls, and if you stand on them, you can see the sights and movements outside the walls.

Not far from Ogata and the others, there was a watchtower, but there was no one standing guard on it.

Although no one was standing guard there, Ogata and the others had been hiding in a hidden bush in an orderly manner.

Even if there were people standing on that watchtower, they couldn't be seen because of the angle of view.

Looking at the huge wooden wall and the watchtowers in front of him, Amachi said softly:

"It seems...... There must be carpenters with good skills in this Fenghe Village. ”

"It's just a wooden wall, but those watchtowers aren't something a layman can make."

"It's just that these watchtowers are set up quite amateurishly. This amateur arrangement method leads to a considerable number of visual blind spots for the guards on the watchtower. ”

"For those who are good at stealing, this kind of wooden wall is the type that can easily escape surveillance and climb in."

"After all, Fenghe Village is just an ordinary rural village." Ogata on the side smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think there will be a defense master who is good at city defense?" I think it's amazing that they were able to build such a huge wooden wall with so many watchtowers."

After observing the wooden walls of Toyowa Village, Ogata and Amachi turned around and began to have a battle meeting with Mamiya and the others behind them.

"When it gets dark, I'll sneak in with Amachi." Ogata said, "The three of you are just waiting outside the wall." ”

"Amachi and I will be back soon."

"Mamiya-sama, Makimura-sama." With a pitiful look, Matsumoto grabbed the sleeves of the two of them in Mamiya and Makimura, "Please be sure to protect you!" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Matsumoto." Makimura put his arm around Matsumoto's shoulder, "There are no cannibals in this place, it's very safe, let's just chat here while waiting for Brother Ogata and them to come back!" ”

"I hope there will be more useful information about 'immortality' in Toyowa Village......" Mamiya muttered.

"Compared to this, I want to know if there are any extra boats in Fenghe Village." Ogata answered.

……

……

Ogata and the others hid in the bushes, recovering their strength while eating their own rice balls, while silently waiting for the night to fall.

Tonight is a cloudy day.

Layers of clouds obscured the sky, lying horizontally between the sky and the earth.

When the night fell, Amachi glanced up at the night sky, and then said softly:

"Good luck...... It's a cloudy night tonight...... Ah Yi, ready to go. ”

"Hmm." As he spoke, Ogata silently took off the pale green haori on his body and handed it to Makimura beside him for safekeeping.

The light green color is too bright to be noticed.

With the exception of this light green haori, the rest of Ogata's clothes are dark, with a dark blue kimono and black hakama and socks.

So as long as Haori is taken off, the clothes on Ogata are very suitable for use as a "sneak suit".

In addition to handing over Haori to Makimura for safekeeping, there are also the knives that Ogata has picked up since he landed on the island.

Carrying a lot of knives on your back is naturally inconvenient to make movements, and you need to sneak as dexterously as possible.

Therefore, Ogata only kept the knife and the wakicha on his waist, and the other knives were temporarily handed over to Makimura, who was left outside the wall to be on standby, for temporary safekeeping.

"I wish you all the best in martial arts." Mamiya softly blessed Ogata and Amachi.

"Hmm." Ogata nodded, "Amachi and I will go back soon." ”

With that, Otomo turned his head and looked at the watchtower closest to them with Amachi.

There was still no one standing guard on the watchtower.

After confirming that no one inside the wooden walls was monitoring Ogata's movements in their area, Ogata waved his hand at Amachi:

"Amachi, let's go."

"Hmm."

Ogata and Amachi lowered their weights and quickly rushed out of the bushes and quickly ran under the wooden wall.

The two didn't immediately start climbing the wall in a hurry.

Instead, he put his ear to the wooden wall and listened to the movement inside the wall.
