In the woods, the flames on the sticks in Haruno Zhao's hands became smaller and smaller.

In this silent space where only the shadows of the trees swayed with the different angles of the light, Haruno Zhao didn't have much sense of time, and could only blindly walk towards the painful whimper.

Looking back, the fire in the carriage had long been completely invisible, but the whimpering in front of it had never stopped.

Judging by the sound he heard next to the carriage, he should have found the injured man a long time ago.

But the reality is that he has walked a considerable distance, but he is still quite far away from the voice.

Haruno Zhao realized that something was wrong, and his hand that was about to continue moving forward to push away the bushes stopped.

At this moment, Haruno heard a distant shout from behind him.

"Sakura-chan!"

Haruno Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately realized what was going on in the carriage, so he turned around and was about to walk back.

And just as Haruno was about to turn around and go back, there was another painful whimper from behind him.

Woo~

The pain in the whimpering sound seemed to increase a little, but Haruno Zhao no longer paid attention to these voices, and now he had to quickly run back to the carriage to confirm the safety of his wife and children.

And the person who made the whimpering sound seemed to sense that Haruno had made up his mind, and the originally painful whimper began to become more and more sharp.

This increasingly high-pitched, even arrogant cry seemed to prove to Haruno that he was not injured at all.

Woo~

Wow!

Ha, ha!

The original painful whimper turned into a terrifying laugh after the tone of the voice!

There was a creepy aura in the high-pitched laughter, and the sound echoed through the dark woods, and it was even more penetrating to the heart.

Shocked by this oozing smile, Haruno didn't know who he was facing, but now Haruno didn't have time to deal with the person who had been luring him out of the carriage, but completely turned around and returned the way he came.

The dense bushes had already been cut out of the way when Haruno Zhao came, so Haruno quickly returned to the carriage on the side of the road.

Hurriedly ran to the carriage and lifted the curtain, but it was empty, and his wife and daughter were gone.

Haruno shouted anxiously around the carriage, but no one answered.

And at this moment, Haruno Zhao heard a rustle in the dark bushes beside the road, and then, a figure slowly stood out from the bushes.

Under the light of the beating fire, Haruno Zhao saw the face of this figure clearly.

The man was short in stature, standing upright only to his elbows, and looked like a human dwarf, dressed in red and blue rags, like a poorly clothed savage.

But his countenance was even more strange than that of ordinary people, as it could even be described as deformed or alien.

There was hardly any hair on the top of his head, only a few strands of flowing white hair hanging from the back of his head, as if they would fall off when the wind blew.

His face, on the other hand, had an ugly distortion that could only be obtained after being scorched by flames, and two eyes that were unusually small were sunk into the bald head of a spherical dome.

The dwarf savage took the initiative to appear in front of Haruno Zhao, while the corners of his mouth twisted in a stiff but obvious upward movement.

It was a mocking smile, and although the dwarf savage's smile was not so easily discernible on the distorted face, it was still seen by Haruno.

Not only that, but the dwarf savage opened its thick lips and whispered from its mouth like a whistling ape.

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

The sound was very familiar, because it was the painful whimper that had been guiding me just now.

"It's you!"

Haruno Zhao looked at the dwarf savage angrily, a pair of fists clenched tightly, although the anger in his heart had reached its peak, Haruno Zhao was still trying his best to control himself.

"You took my family captive?"

If the person in front of him lured him out of the carriage, then there would be someone else who took away his wife and children, so Haruno Zhao guessed that there was more than one dwarf savage.

"Give them back to me!"

"They are very important to me!"

The dwarf savage tilted his head in silence all the time, and his face still maintained a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't understand the language of Haruno.

But two seconds later, the corners of the dwarf savage's mouth rose again, revealing the short yellow but sharp teeth inside, and nodded at Haruno Zhao with an ugly smile on his face.

Damn it! This guy keeps pretending he doesn't understand what I'm saying!

In an instant, Haruno Zhao's anger reached its peak, and he raised his hand and threw the burning wooden stick in his hand at the dwarf savage.

But the movement of the dwarf savage was more agile, and the moment he saw Haruno Zhao raise his hand, he immediately turned around and jumped away, and the spinning torch accurately hit the position where the dwarf savage was standing just now, but it only collided with the trees behind him.

With a bang, a large number of sparks flew from the burning sticks.

In the light of Mars, Haruno saw the dwarf savage running deeper into the trees, letting out the same oozing laughter as he ran.

Ha, ha~ha!

The laughter echoed through the woods, turning into more laughter, which gradually weakened as the gnome wildlings ran, eventually disappearing into the dark woods.

The road next to the carriage was calm again, and there was no terrible laughter or angry questioning of Haruno, and time seemed to return to before everything had happened.

But now only Haruno Zhao is standing next to the carriage, and the Haruno Meibuki and Haruno Sakura that should have been on the carriage are gone.

Haruno knew that the dwarf savage just now was deliberately appearing in front of him and provoking him, just to lure him over.

Although these ugly dwarf savages are not tall, they are extremely insidious and cunning, and they know how to attract Haruno Zhao, who seems to have the highest force, and then break them one by one.

Coupled with the fact that their number is unknown, Haruno knows that once he keeps up, it must be very dangerous.

If you get in the carriage and head back now, the ninjas will come in the early morning to get rid of these ugly gnome savages.

Is it waiting for the arrival of the ninja?

Or did you know that these gnome savages would be in ambush ahead?

Haruno's heart barely hesitated, turned around and stepped into the carriage.

However, Haruno did not grab the reins of the carriage, which symbolized escape, but opened the wooden plank on the coachman's seat, and underneath it was Haruno Zhao's own bag.

Opening the backpack, Haruno Zhao poured out a large amount of food inside, and a striking blue cloth bag also rolled out inside, making a clanging sound of metal colliding inside.

Harunozhao opened the cloth bag, and inside was a Konoha ninja's metal forehead guard and a handful of black kunai.
