Chapter 228: Three-person squad
Dead.
Haotian leaned against the rock wall and looked out of the cave, and what caught his eye was the branches and leaves that he had placed at the entrance of the cave to play a protective role, as well as the sparkling river in the distance.
Hinata and the others also found a spacious place to rest.
or with their backs against the wall, or on the floor.
On the ground, the fire that had been used to grill the fish had been extinguished, and a layer of loose stones had been laid on top.
In this way, the light brought by the sparks will be obscured, and the stones will be roasted by the charcoal fire, which will emit residual heat for a long time, making the cold night cave a little warmer.
Since Haotian moved Tsunade out, Hinata and the others have become familiar with him a lot.
No one doubts anymore.
Identities can be fabricated, but Juli can't be faked.
In order to get the stones around the campfire, Haotian just broke a boulder with a single punch.
And with this punch, all doubts immediately disappeared.
During this period, Haotian got in touch with Ye Yin under the guise of relieving his hands, and then briefly explained the situation on his side.
And in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he also asked Ye Yin not to contact him at night.
After all, he is staying with Hinata and the others now, and if a villain suddenly appears in the middle of the night, it will be something to play.
"When the time comes, I'll keep vigil next, you go to sleep!" Inuzuka got up from the ground with Akamaru in his arms, and then walked over to Hiroten and sat down.
"Good! Notify you immediately! Haotian stood up and said hello to Ya, and then found a spacious place and lay down on his side.
Sleep lightly with your eyes closed.
Four people take turns keeping vigils, which allows everyone to get more time to rest while ensuring maximum safety.
Time passed like this, minute by minute.
It's business as usual.
No player squads pass by, not even the story squad.
In addition to some mountain and forest beasts, there were a few big tigers with yellow skin and black stripes during Hinata Vigil.
These tigers are the size of elephants and are the most common beasts in the Forest of Death.
I remember that in the original book, Mitarai Red Bean, who was injured by Orochimaru, was almost planted in the mouths of these animals.
They don't have the speed of the Wind Tiger, but their strength is not small, and if they are swept by their tiger palms, they will be injured even if they are shinobi.
It's a pity that in terms of strength, how can they be Haotian's opponents.
Before the three Hinata could make a move, Haotian pulled out his sword and stepped forward.
This beast with only wild nature, but no intelligence, can just practice his unskilled sword skills.
But it backfired.
These big tigers barely walked two rounds in Haotian's hands, and it only took a few minutes for them to be slaughtered by him like chopping melons and vegetables.
Haotian had no choice but to retract the knife.
Then he released another [Water Wave] to wash these tiger corpses and the blood on the ground into the small river opposite, allowing them to slide down the turbulent river.
The strong smell of blood will attract other beasts or players with a keen sense of smell.
Therefore, it is necessary to be extremely cautious in handling corpses.
A [water chaos] was not at ease, and Haotian put several more in succession before stopping.
Among all his attacking ninjutsu, Huo Dun is the strongest, and the other ninjutsu can only be used to fight soy sauce with the current skill level.
However, it is more than enough to do this kind of cleaning work.
After dealing with this, the group returned to the cave.
But as soon as these yellow-skinned tigers were stirred up, everyone was already sleepy.
Later, at the suggestion of Inuzuka Ya, they simply gathered together to discuss tomorrow, no, it should be the next route of travel and the plan to meet the enemy.
Hinata was the last person on the watch, and it was now around three o'clock in the morning.
In a few hours they will be in the heart of the crisis.
It's the site of the tower, and it's also a dangerous gathering place.
……
It's getting dark.
The soft sunlight of the early morning shines through the branches and leaves to spread warmth to the earth, giving the gloomy dead forest a little 'security'.
"I guess everyone else was resting last night, and the smell of blood was a little lighter early in the morning, so we just hurried to get there." Inuzuka gently lifted the branches and leaves that were hidden outside the cave and shrugged his nose.
"There is no one within a mile ahead!" Hinata's voice also came out of the cave.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Whew~"
"Akamaru, be quiet!"
Suddenly, several figures rushed out of the cave, crossed the river, and rushed directly into the dense forest in front of them.
There is no fixed formation between the four jumps.
Hinata would open her eyes every few minutes to inspect her surroundings and make sure no one else was approaching before withdrawing.
Inuzuka and Akamaru in his arms have been using their keen sense of smell to keep an eye out for abnormalities in their vicinity.
The central area was the largest area in the Death Forest, and at this galloping rate, the group would not have been able to get close to the tower until this evening.
"Don't step on the two trees in front, there are steel wires." Hinata's voice suddenly came.
After hearing this, Haotian took advantage of the situation to hold it on the trunk of the tree with one hand, flipped his body down, landed on the ground, and then ran on the ground for some distance, crossed the branch again, and continued to leap forward.
"There are more and more traps, so pay attention." Inuzuka's warning sound was also heard.
It had only been less than half an hour since they entered the central area, and they had already bypassed the trap three or four times in a row.
Fortunately, most of these traps were left behind by the predecessors and forgotten to take them back, and there were no people lying in ambush nearby.
After a few more minutes, Inuzuka and Hinata suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Are there traps again? Haotian asked.
"I don't know if there are any traps, but I can smell other people." Inuzuka sniffed hard a few more times, and then said softly: "Three people, on the left side of the front, in the direction of one o'clock, Hinata!" ”
"Hmm!" Hinata responded, and then the handprint knotted: "White eyes!" ”
"One...... Two...... There are indeed three people in the direction of one o'clock, and they are strangers from Yunyin Village! ”
There is a clear difference between the persona of the gamer and the person in the ninja world.
Whether it's age or physical characteristics, it's easy to tell if it's an Inhuman ninja or not.
A squad of three players?
Haotian's eyes flickered.
If it's not a plot character, the player squad can kill and kill, which is a necessary way to earn points.
They haven't averaged enough points to qualify for the Tower.
So, those three players, he has no reason to let go.
Squads of players are all in groups of five.
There are only three cases where there are three.
Or, like him, the ranks were broken up.
Either that, or the other two have already met with an accident.
The last one is a bit special.
It was they who disposed of the teammates they were assigned immediately.
The people who can do this thing are very perverted, and they are also the kind of ruthless people in the real world.
Or those who are twisted in their hearts and do extreme things.
