Chapter 46: Ninja Village

By the time the three of them left the rented place, it was already close to midnight.

But it's not too late, because for a lot of the people who don't see the light, it's just the beginning of the day. The three of them chose to go to the tavern in the slum first, in addition to being closer to Flower Street, Xue Qiong also thought that this kind of inferior place should have more information.

It is worth mentioning that because the purple mist is a semi-underground organization that is faintly the overlord of Su Lan, a large number of people were lost in the Sorrow Cave two months ago, although the purple mist has not completely fallen and dispersed, but the entire underground force of Su Lan has also faintly had the meaning of reshuffling... At least after Xue Qiong and the three of them entered the slum area, they had seen at least two groups of people in purple being chased and beaten.

Fortunately, these gangs all take the things they want to take very seriously, and among each gang, the guy who takes the lead doesn't have too much in his head, and he still takes the main purpose of causing chaos to the purple mist, and he won't be idle and panic and cause trouble, and Xue Qiong and they are also very bad at messing with, so they went all the way in the middle of the night, but they didn't make too much trouble.

When you enter this shabby tavern called Aranstia, it is like another world inside, although the slum streets outside the door are also another world compared to the streets in the center of the city...

a prostitute-girl with heavy makeup, who looks like she has just finished a job and is touching up her makeup; Adventurers or bandits who quarrel loudly over the spoils, but take down a glass of inferior wine in a few seconds; Because he couldn't afford to pay for the drink, he was being picked up by a couple of sturdy bartenders, and the drunkard who was about to throw it out the back door... What a dirty place.

But because of this, Xue Qiong knew that this was the place he was looking for. After sensing all the energy here and confirming that the only guy they couldn't beat was the old-looking boss, he was relieved, so he sat down peacefully, snapped a few gold coins on the bar, asked for two beers and a glass of juice, and began to talk to the people around him.

But to Xue Qiong's surprise, until dawn, the three of them still didn't get any information related to ninjas, ninja villages, or anything, and even the tavern owner and a few specialized intelligence dealers were confused about these things, and they all said that ninjas or something had already wiped out the royal family, and they hadn't even heard of the group that fled to the dark elves.

At first, Xue Qiong thought that this was because the issue was too sensitive, and the snakes on the ground were reluctant to tell him about this new face, but after Xiao Yun secretly used the charm technique, there was still no result... This made Xue Qiong feel very strange.

Then, Xue Qiong remembered the ninjas of Arad Dalu in the original work, and the fighting methods were mainly based on fire escape, and most of the surrounding areas of Su Mu were forests... So he inquired again if there had been a forest fire in the Void Ancestor in recent years... But there was still no result.

When it was dawn, the three of them walked out of the tavern. This time, Xue Qiong didn't drink much, but calmly said as he walked: "Three possibilities." One is that the ninjas here have really been killed by the royal family, the second is that the ninjas who stayed here have also migrated, even if they still stay in the Void Ancestor, they must be farther and more remote, and the third is that they are really hidden, not only hidden in the mountains and forests, but also have powerful people patrolling all year round ... So the guys who were unlucky enough to crash into their territory have all been killed. ”

"How... How can it be! Minette said unwillingly, "It must be because the ninjas are very strong!" The ones who didn't have long eyes were dead, so we didn't hear here, for sure! ”

"Anyway, let's go back to sleep first, and then find other channels at night, and go to another all-night tavern tonight..." Xue Qiong yawned, and took the lead and walked back in the direction of Flower Street.

But when the three of them just walked into the rented kiln and raised one foot to prepare to go upstairs, Xue Qiong and Xiaoyun received a team communication from the bald head at the same time.

"Boss! The master was drunk by me! I found out! The bald voice was not in a hurry, this was his character, but Xue Qiong could still hear his excitement, "In the ninja village on the outskirts of Sumu decades ago, except for the one that fled to Noypera, the rest of the country finally couldn't resist the search of the Void Ancestor Royal Family, and it had already moved to a few years ago..."

The bald head said a place name that Xue Qiong had never heard of, and then said: "They opened up the wasteland over there openly and built a new village, which is no different from a normal village on the surface, but the ninjas are all hiding in underground buildings for training." And they're completely self-sufficient now, so there's very little communication with the outside world..."

"I see." Xue Qiong replied in the communication: "If it's fast, we'll leave today." ”

The bald head said hello, and then hung up the communication, probably continuing to drink with Xilan.

Although they are very simple, everything is conveyed and it is over, but it is precisely because the three of them are very clear about the meaning of this matter to each other, so there is no need for too much communication... And the phone bill for team communication is also quite expensive.

A partner who once fought side by side, was extremely reliable, and finally sacrificed himself so that they couldn't return it even if they wanted to... At least pay some back first.

"Huh? What are you two doing in a daze? Minette, who had already walked up the stairs, noticed that the two had not come up together, and looked back strangely and asked.

Xue Qiong didn't answer her, but went directly to the old bustard to ask about the name of the place that the bald head said. Xiao Yun stepped forward and hugged Minette, and then gnawed her the face, which made Minette a little overwhelmed, and for a while she suspected that Xiao Yun was playing some bad idea, and then she couldn't help but feel a chill...

As a result, after inquiring about the location of the place, the three of them only made up for a few hours in the room, and in the afternoon they left Su Lan in a carriage, and after reaching the inaccessible place, they decisively changed to motorcycles... Although that place was thousands of miles away from Suran, it took more than seven days to reach it on horseback, but if it was a motorcycle, it would only take more than two days to suffice, and this was still counting the time to camp and rest at night.

Minette was thrilled when she heard that she was going to the Ninja Village, even if it only lasted for a day.

That night, because considering that the time to get together might really only be on the road for a few days, Xue Qiong and Xiaoyun did not let Minette sleep in a tent alone, but lived together.

"Brother Xue Qiong..."Minette sat on the fur blanket dyed purple, staring straight at the brazier in front of him, and the iron pot that had just been boiled on the fire, and said intermittently: "After I went to the ninja village, didn't you..."

The big tent that the three of them camped in at this time was still the one they had snatched from the purple mist. Remember, at that time Minette was in such a tent ... Everything was so similar, except that there was no silk on the ground that Xiaoyun had casually laid out, and Minette was not tied.

"We'll have a chance to meet again." Xue Qiong smiled and said, "Don't forget, we are partners, this is what your eldest sister has admitted." ”

"Big sister," Minette looked up, staring blankly at the ventilated hole in the top of the tent, and then at the stars outside, "Am I not going to see each other again?" ”

Xue Qiong shook her head and said, "I don't know about this." If it were me, I would still be able to promise..."

"Let's eat!!" Xiao Yun stirred the broth boiling in the pot with an iron spoon, and then began to put it into her bowl, "If you're not in a hurry, I'll eat it first~ Although I don't know how much else is left." ”

This night, the three of them slept under a quilt, with Minette in the middle, as if it were really the children of the two of them...

On the evening of the third day, they finally reached the place where the bald head had spoken. But this is just an ordinary town, and where is the village where the ninjas live, and we have to continue to inquire... Of course, I didn't ask directly where the ninja village was, but asked if there were any villages around it that had only been established in recent years.

So the three of them stayed here for another two days before they finally met the leader of the only remaining ninja village in Arad - land. Of course, people don't call it a shadow or anything like that, it's just a kind-looking old lady.

"Well, I've been taken care of by that kid from Yagi..."The old lady took off her reading glasses and pulled out the crumpled letter in her hand before continuing: "Yagi... How is he doing now? ”

When the three of them first entered the ninja village, the villagers here were quite normal, they were all busy with their farming work, and there was even a kind old man who chopped wood and kindly asked them if they were lost. But when Minette, who was still habitually wearing a cloak and hiding his pointed ears, proposed that there was a letter to the village chief, the old man's eyes changed suddenly, and without saying a word, he took out a kunai from somewhere and threw it over... At the same time, the farmers in the rice fields on the roadside also rushed over like the wind, and instantly surrounded them.

Now Xiao Yun's speed was the fastest among the three, so she took the kunai as soon as possible, but soon raised her hand with Xue Qiong.

Because Xue Qiong just shouted in the team communication, "I can't beat it!" Don't hit either!! ”

In Xue Qiong's eyes, these people didn't have any energy reaction at all, and he didn't even feel the flow of energy in the entire village. But at the same time that the old man made a brazen move, at least on the group of people surrounding them at this time, the flow of energy suddenly became intense.

Moreover, Xue Qiong also found energy flowing according to a certain law in the pockets of several people, and judging from the slightly familiar trajectory, the detonation charm did not run, and I don't know what method they used to activate the detonation charm without letting it explode immediately...
