Chapter 020. New Mission: Broken Blade
The wild girl on the side of the road knows that this guy is very lazy.
I didn't plan to let him go.
casually ordered him to help straighten out the elite ashigaru team that came with him.
The rest of the matter is still led by him and the old Orion and the Ashigaru team who are familiar with the terrain of Hachifan Mountain in the village town, how to say that these guys can come in handy when they encounter some situations.
The most important thing is that Madara Uchiha next to him follows, obviously improving his confidence.
It didn't take long.
Captain Ashigaru has already prepared the supplies and manpower to enter the mountain.
Because he couldn't worry about the safety of the young master of the wild girl on the side of the road, he not only led the team personally, but also specially mentioned 20 ashigaru guards, who are the most clever and reliable on weekdays, trying to control the scene in time after an accident.
In order to advance and retreat freely, these ashigaru didn't even wear armor, and they all traveled lightly.
However, the choice of weapons is quite deliberate.
It can cut through the ribs of the branches and leaves of the bushes, and the short bow that can shoot 100 meters.
In the quiver hanging behind the waist, the heavy arrows with stronger power at close range are selected, as long as they don't encounter those real monsters who can use weird witchcraft, ordinary monsters can still deal with it.
After all, no matter what they say, they are all systematically trained ashigaru, what is an ordinary demon beast?
It's beasts impregnated with demonic power!
At most, more strength, more bloodthirsty and crazy, and a little stronger.
But when you encounter a heavy arrow that is powerful and heavy and is specially used to break armor, or shoot at close range, it will still be shot through hard, and it can be regarded as a one-shot soul, what can the demon beast do?
These ashigaru people stationed here, in recent years, have killed fewer demon beasts?
Especially the other day.
The demon beasts that poured out from the depths of the Eight Fan Mountains became more and more numerous.
They are located at the outskirts of the mountain pass, and they are also the first to encounter the demon beasts that rush out, with the walls and watchtowers, as well as these bows and arrows at hand, they have killed dozens of demon beasts if not hundreds!
Without a monster to command these monsters, it is equivalent to their live target.
Monsters mostly move alone.
When you're in a group, you can instantly know that youkai are behind you.
If such a situation is really encountered, it is obviously the city of the ghost wolf's lair in the depths of the Bird Mountain, which officially has an idea about Bafan Mountain, and wants to directly tear up the contract 16 years ago and fall into a state of war with Qianye Country again.
At that time, it will not be for those of them to participate.
It's good to be able to protect the young master from escaping from Bafan Mountain!
As for the others?
Maybe die.
But as long as this young master is still alive, the people living in the country of Qianye will have no trouble.
In exchange for a better life for the clansmen, it is obviously a more profitable business, and for these villagers who have fallen to the countryside, it is okay to die in the territory where their ancestors lived.
Prepared enough to continue rambling, the team set off again.
Several Orions followed in person.
Here's the guide.
Roadside Wild Girl and Madara Uchiha walk in the middle of the line.
In the afternoon after the sunshine, the mountains were still quite muddy, but the team, led by experienced hunters, tried to walk through the relatively dry places, and the speed of progress was not slow, but also quite safe.
The old hunter walked in front, also wearing a strong suit, and carrying a long hunting bow on his back in high spirits.
The other Orions were dressed up like this.
The long stay in the village town has already made them qualified archers.
Although he was not recruited as Ashigaru by Nansa Castle, he was stronger than the ordinary bow Ashigaru with the archery skills at hand.
Even compared to some samurai who have not yet mastered the way of archery, their archery skills can be slightly stronger, and in terms of accuracy and rate of fire, they have been perfected in the hunting and hunting of monsters for many years.
It's them now, with a little sadness on their faces.
"This is Eight Fan Mountain?"
The wild girl on the side of the road walked in the mountain path with a relaxed expression: "The scenery is extremely beautiful." ”
He looked at his surroundings, looking at the lush trees and shrubs, the flowers and bones that gradually grew during the rainy season at the turn of spring and summer, and the colorful appearance was dotted among the verdant greenery, and the beauty of nature was intoxicating.
The fragrance of plants and flowers after the new rain in the empty mountains is as refreshing as every breath.
Compared to Nansa Castle, which has been artificially shaped into a delicate appearance.
It's more wild and natural.
Of course.
What more could be requested from the wild?
The faces of the old Orion and Captain Ashigaru who walked in front were already extremely cautious.
This is a trail that they often patrol, but even if they patrol regularly, they actually only patrol once a month or so, compared to patrolling the mountains and forests, that is, casually strolling.
This kind of inspection means more that it shows that the Eight Fans Mountain still nominally belongs to the Chino Country.
It's just that who really belongs to it is even more interesting.
At least.
In those seemingly lush mountains and forests, I don't know how many monsters are hidden!
It's not even a matter whether those monsters have ever been here!
Fortunately, it was safe to go all the way to this place, even if there were traces of demon beasts on the trail, but they didn't really encounter those murderous livestock, which made these ashigaru people breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
In this way, the contract of 16 years ago still has an effect.
If you don't tear your face, that's the best.
Follow the mountain trail that you used to patrol as you head up the mountain, and the trail becomes more and more rugged.
The trail that had been carved out has become blurred, and the trail has become more and more sparse, and even the shrubs and branches on both sides of the tree are obscured by the growth of spring, and it is necessary to chop the path in front with ribs to pass.
But the speed of the march was not slow, and for about half an hour, a slight sound of wind appeared in my ears.
At the same time, there are fist-sized rocks on both sides of the path.
The trees are crooked.
Even subtle cracks can be seen in some rock faces.
Captain Ashigaru walked in front panting, glancing at the old Orion, who was also tired, with a little relief on his face: "It's finally here!" They all clearly know that the destination ahead is "Return to Yanjian!"
The wild girl on the side of the road tilted her ears slightly: "Why is there a wind?"
The wind was getting louder and louder.
It was as if a strong wind was blowing by.
For this reason, the old hunter hurriedly explained: "My lord, although the width of the Huiyan Stream is not more than ten meters, but the depth is not bottomless, it is estimated that the Red Cloud Great Martial God has split the entire Bafan Mountain into two halves, so there is a strong wind gushing out at the bottom!"
The wild girl on the side of the road groaned slightly: "There is still a strong wind at the bottom?"
He became more and more curious about the return to Yanjian.
Didn't hesitate.
The team continued to move forward briskly.
But just as the return to Yanjian was getting closer and closer, and the wind was getting louder and louder, the wild girl on the side of the road also noticed that Madara Uchiha next to her frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something.
At the same time, he also had a little heart palpitations, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is there any situation?"
Madara Uchiha looked ahead indifferently: "It's kind of funny. ”
"Huh?"
The wild girl on the side of the road wondered: "Interesting?"
He was powerless to complain about this madara's answer, looking at the dense trees in front of him, he suddenly disappeared, and as the team drilled out of the woodland, there was also an uneven cliff wall a hundred meters in front of him.
It's just that when he stepped out of the woods, there was a little pressure in his heart.
"Poof—"
As for the hunters next to them, they fell directly to their knees.
He kowtowed to the rock wall with great reverence, and at the same time chanted the words in his mouth: "The Red Cloud Great Martial God is above, I will come to pay homage to the miracle, there is no offense, no offense..."
Not to mention the Orions, even if the ashigaru people shrank their necks and drooped their heads, they didn't dare to make a noise for a while.
They were all afraid of offending the majesty of the so-called Red Cloud Great Martial God.
"Huh!"
Madara Uchiha took two steps forward: "This power?"
He walked slowly, and there was a little more contemplation on Yingwu's face: "Some of the forces in this world can be used as chakra refining, and there are really corresponding strong people?"
The wild girl on the side of the road also walked forward, but on the contrary, there was a little weirdness in his heart.
There is a real pressure.
But it wasn't as psychiatric as he thought.
On the contrary, it was a special feeling, as he got closer and closer to the uneven drop rock wall, he walked over and approached only to find that it was clearly a deep stream more than ten meters wide, but bottomless!
The eyes of the wild girl on the side of the road crossed the color: "This is the return to Yanjian?"
He subconsciously looked down.
"Hum-smack!"
A rhythm that seemed to appear as if the blade of the knife had been flicked appeared.
But the sound seemed to stop abruptly after half a while, not like it disappeared naturally, but more like it was directly cut off, or it was only half a section, and it couldn't sound the light sound rhythm that appeared as a whole at all.
The wild girl's breath on the side of the road was slightly tight: "What happened?"
At this time.
In front of my eyes, the retina has a dialog box again.

It's a mission again?
The brows of the wild girl on the side of the road furrowed, but this mission made him ponder slightly.
The strange whisper he heard when he lowered his head just now was not an auditory hallucination, and even in his heart, he really felt the special picture that belonged to the sword, which was still a broken katana with only the front half, no blade and no hilt.
With his hands clenched into fists slightly, he looked away from this deep stream and looked at the rock wall that was also more than ten meters high, and his face was indeed a little more thoughtful: "It seems that this Red Cloud Great Martial God... Is it really the same as 16 years ago?"
The introduction and notes given by the system are quite clear, how could he not guess?
But look at the top of the rock wall ahead.
It's extremely smooth there.
Obviously, it is the dojo of the Red Cloud Great Martial God that the Orions are talking about.
The wild girl on the side of the road has clearly seen this smoothly cut mountain from a distance, so she now has a number in her heart: "This is the place where I want to build a ninja village!"
