At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was at its darkest.

And in the dense forest with lush foliage, it is even darker, and you can't see your fingers.

Under a large tree five meters to the left of the stiff middle-aged corpse, one palm suddenly appeared at the root of the tree without anyone seeing, and then the other palm also appeared on the ground nearby.

With the strength of his hands, Takumi's upper body directly lay on the ground, and with the force under his feet, the whole person crawled out of a pit dug by the pangolin.

The earth and rocks in front of him shook for a while, and a small yellow head was exposed, which was Takumi's pangolin.

On the big tree on the other side, the supersonic bat hanging upside down also received Takumi's order in the spirit link, fluttering its wings and hovering above Takumi's head.

It may be strange to rest next to a corpse, but it is undoubtedly the safest way to do so in this environment.

In this environment where everyone is vigilant, no one dares to approach a corpse at close range, and even if they have to, they will scout back and forth several times to confirm that there is no danger.

In addition, with the supersonic bat as a sentry, anyone who approaches here will be detected by it, and then fed back to Takumi through a psychic link.

And the reason why Takumi will get up from the pit at this point in time is because ......

The prey is coming!

An hour earlier, Sonic Bat had warned Takumi that a human and a large-mouthed bat were advancing deep into the mountains from a kilometer away.

Although the mountain roads are a little more difficult to walk at night, you must know that the people who participated in this trial were ninjas!

Even if there is a small number of half-barrel water ninjas like Takumi, for those who are still alive after a day, the night is the best cover.

In fact, Takumi thinks so too.

It's just that one is to hide his whereabouts and hurry, and the other is to use the night to hunt......

Of course, Takumi's target was not the ninja who had gone away with the Largemouth Bat an hour earlier, but the two who had just been detected by the Supersonic Bat.

That's right, it's 'two' people.

A ninja walking in front of him carries a Pokémon flying nearby, but the supersonic bat doesn't recognize him......

But after repeatedly asking the supersonic bat, Takumi can at least confirm that the Pokémon is not a supersonic bat series, nor is it the Pokémon that the two supersonic bats have encountered, the Great Needle Bee and the Ba Da Butterfly.

Knowing this, Takumi no longer worries that his whereabouts will be detected by that person, whether it is the Pokémon of the Bibi Bird series or the Pokémon of the Flaming Sparrow series, in this kind of night, there is no detection ability.

So, the ninja didn't notice that there was another person chasing after him.

The person chasing behind him also had a Pokémon flying in the air, and the supersonic bat judged it to be a large needle bee, but Takumi didn't doubt this judgment.

However, Takumi is a little curious, that is, how the ninja in the back tracks the ninja in front, and the detection effect of the big needle bee will be greatly reduced at night.

Shaking his head, Takumi, who didn't think much about it, took the supersonic bat and leaned lightly towards the two who were still moving.

Even Takumi was in the mood to summon the light blue panel, focusing on the total number of trials displayed in real time, and the number 81 meant that there were still 81 ninjas alive in this dense forest.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind...... Today, I'm going to be a yellow finch and let the death toll on the first day exceed one-fifth! ”

The advantage of reconnaissance makes Tuohai full of confidence.

……

Anan's eyes were vigilant, and he began to hide and rest after getting the first supply during the day yesterday, just to take advantage of the night and get his second supply smoothly.

"Fortunately, the Pokémon in my first supply is double gas bombs, as long as you don't meet those powerful guys, it's still no problem to escape."

Takumi, who was on the way, didn't know that the Pokémon that the supersonic bat didn't know was actually a double bullet gas, and because Takumi focused on the lightness training of the supersonic bat a few days before the mission, the other Pokémon were basically not released except for the pangolin.

Even when feeding Pokémon, because the food of the double gas is some exhaust gas, poisonous gas, bacteria and the like, Takumi will take it to the garbage heap alone when he wants to feed it, and the supersonic bats that eat with other Pokémon are dramatically staggered.

So much so that even if Takumi had a double gas around him, the supersonic bat didn't recognize it......

Ten minutes later, with a black cloth covering his upper body, Anan used a dimly lit flashlight to check the map on the scroll.

There is basically a conspicuous marker near the location of the supply point, so that the ninjas participating in the trial can easily find the supply location.

"It's close! Hopefully my damn 'teacher' will put a powerful Pokémon on the second supply point! ”

Gritting his teeth and whispering, Anan is not the only one who is dissatisfied with the old man ninja's trial arrangement this time, but his Pokémon was forcibly taken away by the old man ninja with his own prestige before, and now he doesn't even have the strength to resist.

"Old man, you wait, as long as I can escape this trial alive, I must let you know what true cruelty is......"

When Anan put away the black cloth for shading, he still couldn't hold back his anger after all, but after hearing a slight sound of breaking the air, Anan suddenly rolled forward without thinking.

Anan, who had dodged the kunai's fatal blow, still let out a muffled grunt, and a sharp kunai pierced deep into his calf.

"Hiss ~ double bullet gas, use smoke!"

He didn't lose his mind because of the pain in the wound, and a good ninja would have reason in his brain even in a desperate situation.

As for whether there is a way to escape the desperate situation, it depends on each person's ability......

Panicking will only make him lose his life faster, and Anan, who did not make a mistake, hides in the black fog in the dark night, so that the sneak attackers who can't find their target for a while can't do it.

"Senior Brother Anan, I didn't expect to die here today, right?"

The voice of the ninja with the big needle bee sounded faintly, and he did not rush into the black fog after failing to kill him with one blow and lost his target, but began to use words to affect Anan's mentality.

While letting the needle bee roam around the black fog, Anan gave full play to the power of language, bringing more psychological pressure to Anan.

"Senior Brother Anan, I'm so familiar with your figure, after all, we've been living together in the same disciple's dormitory for almost two years......

Still didn't hear any sound from the black mist, and the ninja with the big needle bee was not in a hurry, and continued to speak slowly.

"Want to know how I tracked you down? My dear Senior Brother Anan. ”

Anan, who was bandaging the injured position in the black mist, paused, his eyes flickered, and he still bandaged the wound without saying a word, but he didn't pull out the kunai that almost ran through his calf, because he didn't have hemostatic medicine.

"Maybe it's a fateful encounter, you set off late at night and happened to pass near the place where I was resting, and you happened to glue fluorescent pollen to your clothes, yes, that's the ...... I set up"

"It's only a little bit, but it's enough for my big needle bee to lock you in!"

The ninja with the needle bee held the shuriken in his hand, pacing the edge of the black mist, and as soon as there was a sound in the black mist, the shuriken would immediately strike.

"Originally, I was thinking about whether to track it down and do it, but later, by observing your walking movements, I already recognized you, Senior Brother Anan, so there is no need to hesitate, because I really know you too well!"

Anan in the black mist jumped a few times with a fierce face, and suddenly his complexion changed, and he touched his injured leg with his hand, and the voice outside the black mist came in faintly.

"Any idea why I didn't let the needle bee find a way to blow away the smoke? Any idea why I'm talking to you so much? When Senior Brother Anan feels that your body is gradually unable to move, you will understand, by the way, the effect of paralysis powder should have already attacked! ”

A silent smile appeared on his face, and the ninja with the large needle bee had a slightly more relaxed expression.

Ninja, do everything, as long as you can solve the target, there is no poison? That's not a problem!

"It's a pity that I only have a bottle of paralyzing medicine in my supply, not those strong poisons......"

As soon as this thought popped into his mind, the ground in front of the ninja with the big needle bee suddenly exploded, and a black shadow rushed straight to the door!

"Sneak attack!" This was the first reaction in the mind of the Great Needle Bee Ninja.

"Dodge!" This is the subconscious movement of his body.

The sneak attacker was stuck between himself and the big needle bee, so that the ninja with the big needle bee could only dodge behind him, but he didn't expect the ground behind him to suddenly explode.

A black shadow that was even bigger than the sneak attacker in front of him appeared in the corner of his eye, and he could only let his body flash to the side as much as he could, but it was too late to change direction halfway.

Takumi didn't care about anything important or not, and the clenched kunai stabbed the ninja with the big needle bee, splashing a blood flower and making the ninja's body stunned.

And this time, the pangolin that failed in the sneak attack had turned into a ball and bounced off the ground, hitting the ninja's chest directly, and when it moved with the ninja's inertia, it lifted the rounding state, and the sharp claws pierced into the ninja's body fiercely.

The moment the ninja's body with the big needle bee fell to the ground, it was already in a state of more air intake and less breath, but just like that, a black shadow that rushed from the air still attacked the ninja's neck.

"Biting Attack!"

In just two seconds, even the needle bee had just reacted, and its trainer was already dead.

Perfect sneak attack!

Looking at the pangolin and supersonic bats that were confronting the big needle bee, the corners of Takumi's mouth curled up in a satisfied arc.

The telepathic link is simply a magic skill when it comes to this kind of sneak attack with Pokémon, even if it can only transmit a small amount of information, but if you say it a few more times, the Pokémon can still understand what you mean.

Silently, as the situation changes, let Takumi, who uses the 'Earth Escape Technique', directly complete the one-hit kill.

Picking up the 'forty-two' scroll on the corpse, Takumi couldn't help but shake his head.

"Strong on paper is a joke, a real life and death battle, who is stronger than you on paper."

Looking at the big needle bee that was forced to retreat by the joint attack of the pangolin and the supersonic bat, Takumi's eyes couldn't help but fall on the black mist.

"The mission is halfway completed, but it's also good to improve the mission evaluation......"
