The villagers came out one after another after packing up their things.

Everyone has the wind and frost that has been devastated by the war on their faces, and many people have yellow faces and thin muscles, and in this era, it is already a blessing to be able to fill their stomachs.

Lu Ning tied the short knife around his waist, he counted the number of people, and after making sure that there were nineteen people in total, he nodded and walked out of the village with his hat on his head.

Protect the villagers.

A minimum of three people is required to survive.

This task is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is not simple, if there is no nightmare space this internal response, it is bound to collide with three shinobi head-on on the third day, not to mention protecting the villagers, even self-protection can hardly be done.

"I'm not guilty."

The voice of the nightmare space interrupted Lu Ning's thoughts very inopportunely.

Lu Ning said expressionlessly: "Can you not read my thoughts?" ”

The nightmare space is also very innocent, it doesn't want to read Lu Ning's messy thoughts, but the contractor is left with Lu Ning's lone seedling, and it has nothing else to pay attention to except Lu Ning.

……

The rain is dripping, as if there is no end, the dense clouds, always suppressed in the sky, I don't know how many years before there is a chance to clear.

Following the direction guided by the Nightmare Space, Lu Ning took many villagers on a long journey, and finally arrived at the canyon ten miles away.

This canyon is not very steep, but it is large and stretches as far as the eye can see.

When Lu Ning found the cave, hidden in a blind spot, someone among the villagers suddenly sighed, revealing an expression of what he thought.

"This is the place."

"You've been here?"

Lu Ning looked at the man strangely.

The man nodded and said, "I came here when I was very young, but my impression is very vague, you brought everyone here, and I just remembered that there is such a place." ”

Hearing his words, Lu Ning couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

Could it be that the correct route to complete the task is to first gain the trust of the villagers, and then communicate and discuss with the villagers, and finally this person remembers that there is a cave to hide here, and then everyone comes here to take refuge?

"It's pretty much what you think."

The voice of the nightmare space sounded in Lu Ning's ears, "But this is only one of the ways to complete the task, and what is more in line with the style of the contractor is to destroy the incoming ninja." ”

Lu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that you don't know that I can't beat me." ”

The voice of the nightmare space mechanization sounded: "In a head-on battle, you fight against the lower shinobi with the lowest combat effectiveness, with a win rate of 3%, an escape rate of 12%, and a mortality rate of 85%. ”

"The analysis is good, go back and add a chicken leg."

“……”

Lu Ning led many villagers into the cave, and the space in the cave was very large, in the shape of a gourd, enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people to take refuge here.

After settling the villagers, Lu Ning came to the entrance of the cave and looked out.

"What if it's not a frontal fight, but a sneak attack? With your help, I should be able to pinpoint their exact location and route directly. ”

Lu Ning still doesn't plan to give up on the side quest of killing a shinobi, because such a side quest is probably already one of the least difficult tasks in the Hokage world.

Let alone.

He also has Nightmare Space to help on his side, and once he completes the side quests, the rewards are basically within a certain range, whatever he picks.

"The win rate will be a little bit higher, but not too much."

"Why?"

"Because the vigilance of ninjas is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the reaction speed is much stronger than that of ordinary people, even if your speed is not slow, if you want to sneak attack, you will be caught off guard by at most, and if you can't be seriously injured or fatal with one blow, your chances of winning are not good."

Nightmare Space continued to analyze.

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "What if you use a data-based body?" ”

Nightmare Space read the thoughts in Lu Ning's mind and fell silent, as if analyzing, and after about a few seconds, it responded.

"The vast majority of contractors, in the first few missions, almost always used the digital body to achieve victory, and now you are finally close to the lowest level of the contractors."

Lu Ning: "......"

……

Noon.

The sky was still overcast and drizzling.

In the dripping raindrops, three figures ran in the wilderness, wearing the forehead protection of the Sand Hidden Village, and they were the ninjas of the Sand Hidden Village!

However, the figures of these three people are a little embarrassed, and they seem to have experienced a battle.

"There's a village up ahead."

As he was running, the man who was running in front suddenly flashed his eyes, looked up ahead, and saw a scattered building in sight.

"Do you want to go over?"

One asked in a low voice.

The man at the head said in a deep voice: "Go, since there is a village, then there is food, we may meet the ninjas of Rain Shinobi and Konoha at any time now, and we must replenish our strength as soon as possible." ”

They are the shinobi of the Sand Hidden Army, who experienced a battle three days ago, and the entire team was completely scattered, and now they are in a state of disconnection, and there is no supply.

"What about the villagers?"

"Dispose of them all, so as not to cause any extraneous branches."

The three of them ran quickly, and soon came to the village.

However.

The three of them searched around the village, but they didn't see even half a figure!

"Something is wrong!"

"There's a problem here."

The three of them searched around, and after they converged, their expressions were a little serious.

"It's not like a place where no one has lived for a long time, and it's very neatly packed, it seems that the whole village left together, and it didn't take more than five days."

"What's going on?"

The expressions on the faces of several people were solemn, but they were also a little confused.

To hide from them?

This thought was only for a moment, and it was all erased by the three of them, because the village seemed to have been gone for at least three days.

Three days!

Their team was broken up and completely lost contact, it was two days ago, so the villagers of this village must have left because of something else.

"What should I do?"

One asked.

Yura, who was the leader, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Kusa, you search this village carefully again to see if there is anything to eat and other information. ”

The ninja named Hisa nodded.

Yura turned his head to look at the third person again, and said, "Nakata, you go out with me to see if you can find something." ”

"Okay."

Nakata nodded and followed Yura out of the village.

When the two came to the outside of the village, they went their separate ways, and one searched for the side.

Since the rainy weather in the Land of Rain is rainy all year round, the suburbs are always wet and muddy, and footprints are intricate and can be seen everywhere.

Over time, these footprints will gradually become blurred under the washing of rain.

Just as Nakata and Yura started their search, in the canyon ten miles away from the village, at the entrance of the cave, Lu Ning, who was closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.

A reminder of the nightmare space rang in his ears.

"Sand Shinobi found the footprints left behind by you and the villagers."
