Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the hinterland of the Demon Desert, a three-person team is moving forward quickly, and with every step out, they can cross a distance of several meters, and the sand dunes everywhere are quickly left behind by them.

The team of two men and one woman, with an average age significantly younger than the other participating teams, is the three Arata Sato.

After getting the quest scroll, the three of them walked all the way, rushing at full speed in the direction of the central stronghold, and now two hours have passed, and the stronghold is already in sight, but it looks like it is just a small black dot, and there is obviously still a way to go.

"Let's get here today, find a place to stay, and hurry tomorrow!"

Glancing at the sky, which had gradually become dark, Sato Shin paused and suggested.

"It's fine."

Hinata Hana and Kakashi nodded.

Today is the third day, and the deadline for the task is noon the day after tomorrow, so there is still plenty of time, so neither of them has an opinion.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Sato Shin unfolded the scroll, and the seal took out the dry food and water that had been stored in it, and handed them to Hinataka and Kakashi, respectively.

Sitting on the rocks that had not yet melted, the three of them sat on the water and munched on the slightly dry food.

There is no fire, because it is easy to attract the attention of other squads, especially in this kind of place close to the central stronghold, it is even more necessary to be careful, after all, it is very likely that some squads will rush here in advance to ambush other squads in order to seize the task scroll, at this time, naturally you can't be careless.

While eating dry food, the three of them generally talked in a whisper, and they were all slightly relieved in their hearts.

After two days of searching, the quest scroll was finally in hand, and the next thing to do was to hand over the quest scroll to the central stronghold, as long as they could bring the quest scroll to the central stronghold, they would be able to pass the second exam successfully.

"Ninjutsu panel."

After eating a simple dinner, Sato Shin summoned the ninjutsu panel, and looked at the remaining column, his brows furrowed slightly.

The fear finally happened, the mysterious substance in the meteorite seemed to have been absorbed, the growth of the remaining energy of the ninjutsu panel had returned to normal, and the crazy growth phenomenon had disappeared.

In other words, in addition to normal exercise, he has no additional source of residual energy, unless he gets another meteorite like that, but this kind of thing is obviously impossible in a short period of time, at least after passing this middle ninja exam, he will have time to search for this kind of meteorite that can increase the remaining energy.

"Luckily, it's only a thousand!"

Looking at the 799,000 figure below the remaining energy column, Sato Shin was happy in his heart.

The gap between the exchange of the Flying Thunder God technique is not large, the difference is a thousand energy, and it only takes three days of normal exercise to make up this gap, although now because he is still participating in the Zhongnin exam, he can't exercise normally, and the remaining energy can grow slowly, but at most this time will be extended to the fifth and sixth days.

In other words, within six days, he would be able to successfully exchange the Daofei Thunder God Technique.

For the Flying Thunder God Technique, he is bound to win, this will be his great reliance on self-preservation in this world, I am afraid that for a long time, the Flying Thunder God Technique will become his biggest hole card.

Originally, he also thought that if the gap was too big, even if he accumulated a few months and did not exchange it to learn other ninjutsu, he would have to fill the gap in this ninjutsu, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

Not far from where Sato Shin and the others were, three yellow-clad teenagers lurked quietly behind a sand dune.

The forehead guards on their bodies are hourglass-shaped, which is the symbol of the Sand Hidden Village as the organizer.

One of the young men with red eyes quickly sealed his hands, and he didn't know what kind of ninjutsu he had used, but he actually created a series of water droplets in the desert, and his eyes were watching the three of Sato through these water droplets.

The movements of the three of them were clearly visible in his sight, and even because he had learned lip language, he could judge the content of the conversation between the three of them from the mouth shape of the three of them.

"How's it going, can you make sure they have any quest scrolls on them?"

Next to him, a darkened-skinned teenager asked in a whisper.

"Not sure."

The red-eyed boy shook his head after lifting his ninja.

"They didn't talk about anything about the quest scrolls."

The slightly dark-skinned boy frowned, looked sideways to the side and asked.

"How's it going, can't you start?"

There, there was a short brown-haired boy, he was a little taller, he looked a little older than the other two, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and when he heard the question of the dark-skinned boy, he said coldly.

"Of course!"

"But it's not sure if they have a quest scroll on them!"

The red-eyed boy said hurriedly, obviously not in favor of making a rash move without figuring out whether the opponent had a quest scroll.

"Don't you think they're a little weird?"

The short-haired young man looked at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Strange, what's weird?"

The red-eyed boy and the dark-skinned boy asked suspiciously.

"It's been more than half since the end of the second exam, if they hadn't gotten the quest scroll, would it be so peaceful?"

The short brunette boy said.

"Ah, you mean ......"

"I see, they didn't discuss the quest scroll because they weren't worried, which means they must have the quest scroll on them."

The red-eyed boy and the dark-skinned boy looked suddenly, and then there was a shock to their spirits, the goal had been determined, and they were going to "hunt" tonight.

In the middle of the night, the three of them each fell asleep on a blanket.

Because there was no fire, the night was rather dark, but there were still a few stars in the sky, so the night was not dark.

The three figures slowly lurked from a distance, almost merging with the night, almost indistinguishable from each other.

"Do it!"

The distance was gradually shrinking, 100 meters, 80 meters......, when the distance reached 20 meters, the short brown-haired boy made a gesture of "hands", and the shuriken that had been prepared in the hands of the three people suddenly shot out like a torrential rain, under the cover of the dark night, it was even more hidden, and almost instantly sealed the three of Sato Shin.

Snort, snort, snort!

The sound of shuriken hitting the real thing sounded intensively, and when the sound stopped, the three people of Sato Shin who were walking on the blanket were nailed with shuriken all over their bodies, even on their heads, and they couldn't survive.

"It worked."

Seeing that the three people lying on the ground were shot by the shuriken without resistance, and there was no more sound, the three of them looked full of joy and walked over quickly.

"Not good, it's ......"

The red-eyed boy was the last to see and came to the front and immediately noticed the abnormality of the three people who were shot.

There were three people there, but they weren't alive, they were three scarecrows!
