Chapter 361: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

At midnight, a dirty puppy slowly ran into town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It seemed to be extremely hungry, and as soon as it entered the town, it ran decisively to a garbage dump.

However, after rummaging through several garbage heaps, the puppy had to continue towards the center of the town. But as it slowly ran through two streets, a figure suddenly stared at it.

"Whew!"

An arrow whistled sound, and a sharp arrow followed directly grazed the tip of the puppy's nose and pierced the ground, so frightened that the puppy immediately turned around and fled with his tail between his legs.

After watching the dirty puppy run away, Shiva put away his longbow and ducked into the shadows behind him again.

Even if it was just a stray dog that seemed completely harmless to humans and animals, Shiva, who was in charge of this direction, was not prepared to let it break into the center of town.

However, Shiva didn't know that the stray dog was not as harmless as she thought!

"How's it going?"

Noticing that the scorpion opened its eyes suddenly, the spider asked with some curiosity.

“…… No way. ”

The scorpion shook his head slowly: "When my ninja dog approached the center of the town, it was targeted by the guards and had to retreat immediately. So, I'm not sure if our goals are still there! ”

"At the end of the day, we're going to have to go there and see for ourselves."

The somewhat bored Blood Blade said casually: "Let's go, let's go!" It's not too early! ”

“…… It's better for us to be careful. ”

After a moment of silence, the scorpion said solemnly: "I always have a bad premonition. ”

"Oh?"

Blood Blade was stunned for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "...... Do you want to give up this mission? ”

"It's too early to say give up."

The spider shook his head and said calmly: "Even if there is a tiger's den in Longtan in front, we have to try it!" The ninjas of Iga don't have the kind of cowards who run away without a fight! ”

After glancing at the spider, the scorpion sighed lightly, and then said solemnly: "I am exploring the way in front, and you follow carefully behind!" ”

Neither Bloodblade nor Spider objected, and the three of them quietly broke into the town that had been abandoned by the elders.

Following the path explored by the ninja dogs before, the scorpion and the others easily infiltrated near the center of the town. However, when he was about to reach the place where the ninja dog was chased away by Shiva, the scorpion stopped abruptly and gestured to the two companions behind him.

“…… From here, it's time to enter the guards' alert range. ”

After reading the meaning of the scorpion's gesture, the spider and the bloodblade glanced at each other, and then acted more carefully.

Led by the scorpion, the three of them walked around the corners and obstacles, and it took them half a day to reach the vicinity of a church in the center of the town.

"If the target is still in this town, then she should be in this church!"

After glancing at the surrounding sentry posts, the scorpion made a few gestures with certainty.

"Give me a moment."

The spider quickly replied with a few gestures, "I'm here to distract the guards." ”

When the scorpion nodded, the spider immediately closed its eyes and began to dance in the air with its hands.

Ninja and puppet arts!

Controlled by the invisible silk threads, the various small animals that had been placed in various corners by the spider in advance to use as stand-ins began to run around.

"Wang! Woo Woo ......"

"Goo! Coo-coo! ”

"Meow ......"

The movement caused by these small animals immediately attracted the attention of Shiva and the others. But just as Shiva and the others began to check the strange noises, the scorpion quietly avoided the last two dark sentinels and went straight into the church.

The chapel was brightly lit, but empty.

The increasingly suspicious scorpion cautiously touched the small room behind the hall, and saw a figure sitting quietly inside.

Is that what she's targeting...... Wrong! Why don't I hear breathing?

Such a thought flashed through the scorpion's mind, and the figure sitting there quietly also raised its head suddenly.

(Khiva, the prey has entered the net, close the net café immediately.) )

After sending a message to Khiva through the contract with a blank face, Bart quickly raised his hands, and the two Gauss rifles that had already been switched out locked on the scorpion at the same time!

Bastard! It's a trap!

The scorpion, who didn't think much about it, immediately used the technique of stand-in, and decisively turned around and fled.

Just as Barth's bullet tore apart the stake that the scorpion had left behind, Shiva, who received the message, immediately shouted, "It's time to close the net!" ”

After hearing this somewhat inexplicable sentence, the rest of the people in charge of the sentry immediately threw thick and short black wooden sticks into the air in unison.

Flares!

A large number of flares exploded, instantly illuminating the entire night sky, making the entire town visible.

"The enemy is here!"

The bloody blades and spiders that had been hiding themselves in the shadows were suddenly discovered by a sentinel who saw them.

"Tsk! Trouble! ”

Seeing the sentinels rushing towards them from all directions, the hearts of both Bloody Blade and Spider sank.

"I'll stop the enemy, you set a few traps as soon as possible!"

After quickly scanning the surroundings, the blood blade gritted his teeth and said, "Move faster, I won't be able to last long!" ”

Without waiting for the spider to reply, Bloodblade swung two scimitars at the fastest sentry.

After decisively relinquishing control of the critters, the spider quickly pulled out a small scroll and spread it out on the ground.

Seal Scroll and Ninja Equipment!

Ninja Law - A Hundred Flowers!

From the sealing scroll, a large number of ninja spiders were quickly summoned, and a kunai, shuriken, and a thousand books were quickly thrown.

The kunai with detonators or wires stabbed into the walls or the ground one after another, quickly forming a small defensive position, and the shuriken and senbons pierced the sentinels besieging Bloodblade and approaching the spiders, allowing Bloodblade to catch his breath.

However, while desperately fending off the sentinels' attacks, Bloodblade and Spider also began to worry about the situation of the scorpion.

"Tsk!"

The scorpion, which tried to cover its body with smoke bombs, was blasted out of the smoke by Bart again, and had to roll desperately while using earth escape ninjutsu to make various obstacles.

After escaping like this for a long time, Bart was driven all the way from the small room to the hall, and the scorpion finally found a gap and summoned three doors with all his might.

Ninjutsu・Triple Rashomon!

Hiding behind these three unusually strong gates, the scorpion, who was finally relieved, had time to look at his opponent.

"I see, it's a mechanical warrior in the machine world, no wonder it's useless for me to hide."

Looking at Bart, who was bombarding Rashomon indiscriminately, the scorpion sighed with emotion.

To be honest, as a mechanical body, Bart and the ninja profession are indeed quite different.

As a fairly traditional ninja, Scorpion is actually quite good at using a variety of hidden weapons to damage enemies. But in front of Bart, the small secret weapon can't hit her, and the large secret weapon can't hit her.

This makes the scorpion helpless.

In addition, ninjas are very good at hiding their tracks with various props, but it is useless to hide their bodies in front of mecha! You also need to cover up the heat radiation emitted by your body as much as possible.

Unfortunately, with the exception of the undead, normal people can only rely on the environment to avoid thermal detection unless they are hiding in water or snow.

But in front of Bart, even if the scorpion knows how to use the Water Escape Ninjutsu to hide himself, Bart can still lock his location through special detectors such as heartbeat detectors......

So no matter what ninjutsu the scorpion uses to hide himself, Bart will be able to find his exact location in the first place, and then continue to bombard him indiscriminately.

What's even worse is that because the place of the battle is indoors, many of the Scorpion's Earth Escape Ninjutsu are temporarily unusable, so he is so embarrassed.

"The hidden weapon is ineffective, and the earth escape ninjutsu can't be used for the time being, is it possible that I need to use physical skills to deal with this iron lump?"

Looking at the expressionless Bart, the scorpion really smiled bitterly: now he can't even find a means to fight back in his eagerness!

"What should I do now?"

The scorpion, who didn't want to die here, racked his brains and thought hard.

It took him a while before he came up with an idea.

"Is that all I have to do......

With a sigh, the scorpion pulled out a small scroll bound with chains from his waist, and after cutting the chains with a ninja knife, he spread out the scroll.

Looking at the two big "seal" words on the scroll, the scorpion's face was very solemn and pressed his hands up, and he poured most of the magic power into it.

With the input of magic power, the scroll slowly emitted a faint white light.

Bart, sensing that something was wrong, decisively stopped the attack and switched weapons instead.

Just as she was changing into a bunch of heavy weapons, two long pillars of white light suddenly rose from the scorpion hiding behind the Triple Rashomon.

The pillar of light quickly dissipated, but Bart immediately sensed the problem.

(Two more new energy reactions, is this some kind of summoning?) )

Before Bart, who frowned rarely, estimated the enemy's strength, a roar came from behind Rashomon.

"Whoop......"

As the roar echoed through the hall, a tall red figure spun out from behind the Triple Rashomon Gate and roared towards Bart.

"It's ...... One of the demons of the demon world? ”

Looking at the humanoid monster in front of him with only red skin and two horns on its head, Bart said in some surprise: "Warlike red ghosts? ”

The red ghost with a long-handled battle axe didn't care about Bart's demeanor, and with red eyes, it rushed straight in front of Bart, and raised the battle axe to directly chop down with an axe.

But at this moment, Bart also quickly pulled the trigger towards the red ghost, and at the same time that the barrel of the cannon that almost hit the red ghost's face spewed out a grenade, and two flames also erupted from Bart's feet, pushing her body backwards.

"Bang!"

The explosive grenade directly burst out of a large cloud of flames, and Bart, who had been prepared, quickly flew upside down from the flames, but the red ghost with the long-handled battle axe actually rushed out of the flames, and it seemed that the direct hit of the grenade did not cause much damage to it!

(Is fire resistance extremely high?) )

A frowning Bart quickly switched weapons, and at the same time fired two shots at the Red Oni with the two railcans on his shoulder.

"Whew!"

The whistling metal cannonball directly knocked the red ghost staggering, and while the red ghost's flesh and blood were flying, before it could stand firm, Bart, who had already changed his weapon, decisively continued to fire.

"Dada......"

The two heavy machine guns directly hit the red ghost's body and spewed blood flowers continuously, but soon the red ghost, who was covered in blood, still roared and continued to rush towards Bart as if he was not injured at all.

Bart had no choice but to fly upside down while constantly firing at the red ghost.

"Afterghost! You can go too! ”

The scorpion that poked its head out from the side of the three Rashomon doors looked at this scene, and said with a very solemn face: "Otherwise, I'm afraid the former ghost won't be able to support it for long!" ”

Standing silently behind the scorpion, a blue-skinned ghost with a single horn on its head nodded, and rushed towards Bart with his bare hands.

However, after noticing the movement of this green ghost, Bart did not fire at the green ghost named "Hou Ghost", but directly fired at the scorpion!

"Hmm!"

The scorpion hurriedly dodged behind the triple Rashomon, but the shock wave from the cannonball that landed exactly where he had just poked out his head still caused the scorpion to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall a little sluggishly behind the Rashomon.

Noticing that his master was injured, the Queen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared and rushed towards Bart.

Under the attack of the two ghost clans, although Bart was still able to hold on, he could not continue to attack the scorpion.

Just when Bart and the two ghost clans were fighting, the scorpion took the opportunity to rest, and the blood blade and spider were pressed and beaten by Shiva and others, but a group of uninvited guests came outside the town again.

"Looks like those three ninjas won't be able to complete their mission!"

Looking at the bright town under the light of the flares, the face of the man in black who was half-kneeling in front of Carlos looked very ugly. If he could, he hoped that Bloodblade and the others would be able to complete the task smoothly. That way, he would only need to deal with the three of them.

It's a pity that things are often unsatisfactory, so the man in black quickly waved his hand vigorously and said coldly: "Then, let's take them and the enemy together!" Remember, we don't need to leave anything alive this time! ”

As the words of the man in black fell, more than a dozen men in black emerged from the shadows behind him one after another, and rushed to the town with the man in black named "Ben" who appeared first.

PS: It seems that I have a cold, and my head hurts......
