Chapter 166: The Man Behind the Scenes
Four days later.
After a day and night journey, Chiba and his party came to an oasis closest to the evil storm.
The tour guide Aguduo Yao pointed to this oasis and introduced it to Chiba and his party:
"There's a beautiful name here, it's called Tears of the Goddess."
"According to local legend, the goddess took pity on the misery of the people here, so much so that she shed a tear that fell from the sky and fell in the desert, becoming a lake that stretched for thousands of meters."
Chiba and his party stood on top of a sand dune, looking at this rippling lake, and the excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
Only by experiencing loss can we understand how precious it is to have what we once had.
In the land of fire, Chiba doesn't need to worry about water at all.
But in the ghost place of the Land of Wind, they have to endure the sun and the wind, and they haven't taken a bath for a few days, and their bodies are full of itching, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
A cool vapor of water hits your face, making you feel very refreshed!
Chiba They couldn't wait, and the speed under their feet was on the line, and they ran into a small town here.
Compared with Liusha Village, this town is obviously more lively, and most of them are local residents, all dressed in the costumes of the country of wind, coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and it is very lively.
After coming to the town, the tour guide Aguduo said goodbye to the group and went to find the next business.
And Chiba and his party found a random restaurant on the street and sat down to rest.
An ordinary-looking waiter walked up, saw that Chiba and his party did not look like locals, and his attitude was not cold, and asked, "What do you order?" ”
Zilai didn't care about this kind of detail, and waved his hand heroically, "Bring me all the most expensive dishes and the strongest wine you have here!" ”
The ordinary-looking waiter sighed, without a look of surprise on his face, and left directly.
"Teacher, don't reveal your wealth, are you really okay like this?" Hinata asked steadily.
"Fool!" Jiraiya patted Hinata Hinata on the head, "I'm telling you, here outside, you have to show your strong side, whether it's money or strength, you have to dare to show it." ”
"Just like a male lion will never pretend to be a jackal, but show himself generously, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed in his hand and sat in a corner place.
"Look at that man."
As soon as Chiba and Hinata turned their eyes, they saw that a middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed plainly, had just sat down there.
The ordinary-looking waiter walked up, and when he saw that the man was dressed so plainly, he immediately looked disdainful, and asked in an unusually cold voice, "What do you want?" ”
The middle-aged man held up a big belly and said in a low-key manner: "Just bring me a bowl of clear soup noodles." ”
Hearing this, the look of disdain in the waiter's eyes became even stronger.
Jiraiya looked at Chiba and Hinata Hinata Hinata Foot, "You see, if you pretend to be poor, you will be despised by this middle-aged man for no reason, and the original good mood is gone." ”
"That's this waiter is too snobbish!" Hinata Hinata looked indignant.
"This is the world, the strong are respected, the weak are stepped on, and when you get used to it, you will look down on it." Zilai also used the tone of the person who came to him, and said step by step: "Weakness is the original sin, only by becoming stronger, can you live in this world with your head held high!" ”
It can also be said to be bitter and well-intentioned.
On the way to wait for the food to come up, the group was talking and laughing, and at the same time, they were also paying attention to the conversation of the people around them.
"Have you heard, recently, the A-level traitorous ninja ghost lamp Big Bear set up a banquet for thousands of people, inviting the rebel ninjas and sand koto leaders of all sizes in the country of the wind, it seems that something big is going to happen."
"Tsk! Haven't you heard of it, haven't you seen that there are a lot of outsiders coming recently, most of them are here to participate in this feast. ”
"This is a major event in recent years, as an A-level traitor, is it really good for him to be so arrogant?"
"Shhhh You don't understand this, right, there are people who support him in Shayin Village, otherwise you think that he is so flamboyant in the country of the wind, how can he survive until now! ”
"Then you say, who is this man?"
"Then how do I know, I can only guess!"
“……”
Hearing the conversation of these locals, Jiraiya had all the thoughts on his face, and then, an extremely solemn expression appeared on his face.
"Chiba, Hizo!" Jiraiya said heavily: "It seems that this rescue of Watergate is more complicated than I imagined!" ”
"Do you remember when we first entered the Land of Wind, the compass lost its effect?"
As soon as Jiraiya and his party arrived, the compass broke due to magnetic imbalance, causing them to lose their way.
"Remember! Of course I do! The two nodded repeatedly.
"If I'm not mistaken...... Jiraiya's face became extremely solemn, "this time, maybe there are really high-level officials from Shayin Village behind the scenes. ”
Hearing this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Chiba's mind.
If there is someone behind the scenes, and can use magnetic force to influence it from a distance, it is only that person!
He is the next three generations of Wind Shadow, that is, the shadow who was later used as a human puppet by the scorpion!
Of course, he is not the third generation of the Wind Shadow now, after all, the second generation of the Wind Shadow is still alive and well!
Moreover, even now he is not a shadow-level powerhouse, I'm afraid that person is just an elite ninja now, or just an ordinary ninja.
Otherwise, if he really has the strength of a shadow-level powerhouse, where does he need to secretly do things behind his back, it is enough to rush up and capture Jilai and his party alive.
Thinking of this rescue of Bo Feng Shui Gate, as well as his group's pursuit and killing of the B-level traitor Tian Chuanren, there was actually such a future strongman behind the intervention, and a sense of urgency suddenly surged in Chiba's heart.
Chiba silently clenched his fists, and secretly said in his heart:
"It seems that my strength is still not enough!"
With that in mind, Chiba focused on the system.
It is worth mentioning that after Chiba broke through level 140, the system was updated again.
The original ninja recruitment function, after the update, you can get ninja shards through the story mode dungeon, and after collecting enough shards, you can designate this ninja to recruit.
This is much better than before, originally the first recruitment free has been used by Chiba, and the second time Chiba needs to kill 10 upper ninjas to unlock the recruitment, and now it can be recruited as long as you collect enough fragments.
Chiba then set her sights on a new copy of the story mode.
