Chapter 10: Scrolls

The strong man hid behind the giant tree, the body of which blocked Morun's view.

However, after the detection of 'Rising Star', the heat of the figure hiding behind the giant tree is rapidly getting colder, obviously, his treacherous arc has not hit the target, and his body has become cold, indicating that the other party is on the verge of death.

Morun's gaze fell on the hollow of the tree not far away, where the old ghost was now as honest as before.

It seems that he really can't move!

Seeing this, Mo Lun did not act immediately, but waited quietly, vigilantly guarding against any potential threat, until ten minutes later, the old ghost's voice still did not sound again, and Samurai Luo turned into a corpse with residual warmth.

He came to the back of the giant tree first, and at first glance he saw the kunai stuck in the neck of the strong man, and a large amount of blood on the grass, a pool of slightly congealed blood. Law's eyes widened and he didn't move at all, his hand still holding the cold and unbridled katana, as if he was also planning to deal a fatal blow to Moron before he died.

Mo Lun's heart was slightly unwell, but after only a moment of trance, he returned to normal.

The samurai's body stiffened, his hands clenched tightly, and Moron pumped twice before pulling the katana out.

Before he had time to check the sophistication of the katana, Moron searched it for the first time.

He didn't forget the moment when the strong man Luo sneaked up on him, it was the moment when he clearly felt the threat of death for the first time since entering the dark forest. Rising's powerful scanning function did not detect the hidden Luo, and because of this, it gave Luo a chance. And there's obviously something in it, isolating the chip scanning.

Morun's guess is that it is a "special ninja tool".

Law's body was strong, but his samurai uniform was tattered, and Moron simply stripped him of all his clothes.

However, to his disappointment, no utensils other than the katana appeared on the strong man. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Mo Lun saw a small object, a very ordinary, normal, and inconspicuous thing.

On the stiff left ring finger of the samurai's left hand, he wore a jade ring, which had no patterns, like a very ordinary jade grinding knick-knack.

But now, this ring is the only foreign object that Morun found on the strong man's body, except for the katana.

Could it be that this ordinary-looking ring is a special forbearance?

Mo Lun's heart moved, and he pulled out the ring on his ring finger several times, so he simply picked up the opponent's katana, cut off his finger, and finally pulled it out.

After wiping it clean with his sleeve, he put the ring on his hand, and the chip scanned it, and nothing changed.

It's just a normal ring, and there's nothing special about it.

After thinking about it, Mo Lun's eyes fell on the hollow of the tree, where there was still an old ghost hidden!

"Alas!

As if feeling Mo Lun's eyes, the old ghost who had been silent for a long time finally sighed: "The king is defeated, Luo is dead, even if you don't kill me, I won't live long." ”

Mo Lun approached step by step, and he didn't intend to let the other party go at all.

Finally, we came to the front of the giant tree.

A gap suddenly opened in the giant tree, like a window, and as the light poured in, it reflected a vicissitudes, pale, and old face.

The old ghost seemed to be imprisoned in a tree hole and lost his freedom, he smiled bitterly, and slowly said to the young man in front of him: "Promise me a request, I will give you the 'Golden Wind Ninja Law Scroll', otherwise, I will destroy it immediately." ”

Morun's brow furrowed, as if hesitating.

"I also have a good grandson on Wutong Street, called Clear Sky. I have a total of 3,000 Grass Coins, and a volume of Ninjutsu 'Golden Wind'. As long as you find my good grandson, don't hurt him, and give him 500**** coins. Promise me that you will get the remaining 2,500 Grass Coin and Ninja Scroll. You may not know the preciousness of the Ninja Scroll, but what I want to tell you is that even if you do become a survivor of the Black Trial and be trained as a ninja by the Grass and Durian Country, you will not be able to easily obtain any of the Ninja Scrolls. ”

"The reason why I was exiled to the Dark Forest, not put to death, is because they know me"

As the old ghost's words slowly unfolded, a golden sheepskin-like scroll appeared in the gap in the tree hole, the old ghost stared at Mo Lun with a lifeless face, and the ninja scroll he held trembled slightly, and in the end, he looked at Mo Lun with dead eyes, his wrist was forced, and he shouted: "You can only promise me." Otherwise, I'll destroy it right away. ”

"Okay! I agreed. ”

"Hmph, you'd better keep your promises, little imp. The old ghost's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance as Morun replied decisively.

"The premise is that what you say is true. I'll have to make sure this ninja scroll is real. ”

Mo Lun shook his head and said silently.

Seeing this, the old ghost showed a struggling look on his face, and finally threw it unwillingly, and the slightly yellowed scroll turned into an arc and fell in front of Mo Lun's feet.

Strangely, Morun had no intention of picking it up.

Instead, he looked at the old ghost and twisted his neck slightly.

"Why, don't you want to confirm the authenticity of the ninja scroll? Why don't you pick it up and verify it, the dark forest is full of crises, you have to hurry. ”

"yes, it's a place where there are crises all the time, like"

"Like what?" asked the old ghost, his face slightly gloomy.

"It's like this scroll under my feet! its surface is smeared with an unknown poison. ”

The old ghost's face changed, and his eyes stared at Mo Lun as if they were about to bulge.

"Hehe! This kind of trick is just a trick after all. Old guy with a lot of nonsense, you are the most reliable to me, only when you die. ”

"What do you say?

Before the words fell, a bitter and unfast bolt pierced into the old ghost's face, which was still in disbelief, and the splatters of blood stained the tree's body red.

When the old ghost's body temperature disappeared, Mo Lun's eyes fell on the 'Ninja Scroll' at his feet.

He took out a strangely textured handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wrapped the scroll with the handkerchief, carefully wrapped it in his bag, and confirmed that everything was normal, before he really breathed a sigh of relief.

The old ghost's words were very demagogic, and even Mo Lun couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood. But he knew that the other party definitely didn't have the so-called 3,000 grass and grenade coins.

The materials of the Grass and Grenade Coin have been scanned by the chip and have been collected in the chip's database for a long time. After previous detection, the chip did not find any metal objects of related materials from the tree hole, and it is obvious that the old ghost is lying.

I told a bunch of lies, and I went around in a big circle, and the final meaning may just be to cover up the poison smeared on the 'Golden Wind Ninja Law Scroll'. As long as Mo Lun picked up the scroll and tested it according to his words, then in the case of severe poison, he would be the last person to die.

The old ghost is extremely cunning, and even if he loses hope, he will leave a deadly threat to the enemy.

As for whether this so-called ninja scroll is real, and whether it records the secret technique of ninja called "Golden Wind", he doesn't know, after all, he has never been in contact with it. He tricked the old ghost into throwing out the ninja scroll, and the ultimate goal was to smear the poison on it, which was so secret that it could not be distinguished by the naked eye, but Rising's powerful scanning and analysis ability was clearly fed back into his mind.

Among the highly toxic ingredients is a material that he recorded in the chip, Meihua Fujiman. This vine is a chronic nerve poison that can unknowingly damage nerves and destroy the nervous system including vision, hearing, and pain.

The handkerchief that picked up the ninja scroll was a kind of isolation handkerchief made by him during this time by melting ordinary metal and combining it with cloth, which can effectively prevent some contact with highly toxic and other substances.

Originally, it was to isolate some poisonous plants that could not be handled, as well as beast fangs, poisonous insects and the like, but I didn't expect the first one to be used on this scroll. Instead of washing the poison off the scroll with water, he planned to use the scroll and the poison smeared on it as one of his hole cards.

For example, in the face of an invincible enemy, he threw this scroll to protect himself and plot, just like the old ghost before.

Soon, Moron left the woods, taking with him Luo's katana and jade ring, as well as the old ghost's ninja scroll, while he left behind a kunai, the one that pierced the old ghost's head. The rest of the thousand cross darts were all found and collected by him one by one, including the kunai that pierced the neck of the strong man Luo.

The old ghost's tree hole, from beginning to end, Morun did not approach.

The old guy was too cunning, and even with the help of the chip, Morun didn't dare to enter his tree hole, maybe there was something in it, but he thought it was better to be careful.

Not long after Morun left the woods, a figure suddenly flashed into him, it was a ninja, the goggles he was wearing were slightly pushed to his forehead, and he stood on a branch with a frown, condescending, and all the scenes below fell into the eyes of the ninja.

The strong man who fell in a pool of blood under the giant tree, his clothes were torn, and the fatal wound was very conspicuous, on the neck. And not far behind, in a tree hole, there was also an old face that had been pierced into kunai, an old man, staring at the front with a distorted face at this time, dead and blinding.

The goggled-wearing ninja leaped to the top of the tree, seemingly trying to use the height of the giant tree to find the perpetrator who had recently left and killed the two. It's a pity that Morun has already left the forest at this time, and although the ninja has found the direction of the other party's departure and the traces left behind, he has not found anyone.

He returned to the scene, and after briefly examining the strong man, he came to the tree hole where the old ghost was.

"Huh~"

The ninja seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly stepped back, only to see a black line flash from him, and the hole in the tree where the old ghost lived was shot into a kunai, and with a loud "boom", the giant tree was blown out of a large hole, and slowly fell.

The corpse of the old ghost, at the moment of the explosion, turned into a pool of blood rain and minced meat, accompanied by gunsmoke, sprinkled all around.

Strangely, after the explosion, the broken ends of the giant tree suddenly corroded and melted, and in a few blinks of an eye, it melted into a puddle of foul-smelling liquid and jagged tree pits. "Red phosphorus, stone powder, green taro horns, as well as coral foam, saliva of a black line python, tsk, to be safe and sound in it, this old man is not simple. The ninja who walked to the tree hole examined it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.
