Chapter 163: Old and despicable

The forehead guard worn by Haruno Zhao during the ninja period was not a head-worn one, because the head-worn forehead guard would affect Haruno's exaggerated family hairstyle, so Haruno's forehead guard was inlaid on his clothes like an armband.

However, after withdrawing, Haruno chose to change the forehead guard on the armband to a head-worn forehead guard as a souvenir.

I thought that I would never have the opportunity to touch this forehead guard again in my life, but I didn't expect to fight side by side with this forehead guard again today.

Haruno Zhao picked up a bottle of water from his backpack and poured it on his head, and then pulled his hair back, and the temperament of the whole person changed suddenly, and instantly changed from the image of a cheerful old man to a certain villain boss with a murderous atmosphere.

With her pink hair hanging down her shoulders, Haruno tied her forehead around her head, then left a mark on the carriage to guide the ninja who followed, and chased her into the woods.

...

The pitch-black woods could only reveal a few thin starlight under the canopy, and in this case, Haruno's eyes also needed to adjust to this dark environment.

Fortunately, there are a lot of dwarf bushes here, and as long as someone has just passed through the bushes, the branches of the dense bushes will not return to their original shapes for a short time, relying on these traces, Haruno Zhao is methodically tracking the dwarf savages.

However, the deeper you go into the woods, the fewer and fewer dwarf trees in the woods, and the more and more tall trees that are not easy to change, which is already a little unfavorable for the tracking of Haruno.

Soon, Haruno lost traces of the dwarf savage in an open woodland.

There were no obvious traces of the woodland around the woodland, and Haruno had to slow down and search for more detailed clues.

Next to a tree, Haruno finally found a piece of turf that had been turned upside down.

This piece of turf is a very abrupt turning caused by stepping on it, and the turf is about the size of a fist, and the amplitude is from deep to shallow, with a maximum of two centimeters.

Tracking is one of the most basic ninjutsu learned in ninja school, and although he has not been a ninja for many years, Haruno Zhao has not forgotten some of the most basic knowledge.

The traces of this piece of turf can only be caused by gravity trampling on the soles of the feet, and the traces of human soles are of different shades due to the fact that the soles of the feet are not in the same plane.

But the length of a person's foot is one-seventh of his body, and the height of a dwarf savage is about the height of his elbow, so the length of a dwarf savage's foot should be at least the size of two fists.

And right now, the mark is only the size of a fist.

If you look further at this footprint, you can see that it is not a trace of the sole of the foot stepping on the ground intact, but a step that lifts the heel and only allows the forefoot to touch the ground.

That is, when this mark was made, the dwarf savage stood on tiptoe.

And the most direct purpose of tiptoeing is to increase the height that can be reached, and what is the reason for the dwarf savage to tiptoe here to raise his height?

Harunozhao looked up and saw that in the gloomy bushes overhead, a row of sharp objects was hiding in it.

Gently brushing through the bushes, inside was a crudely made wooden spike trap, a whole row of sharpened wooden spikes tied to a long, bouncy wooden branch, which was then connected to a hidden trigger mechanism on the ground by a lead.

From a ninja's point of view, this is a completely inferior and crude trap that only students in the ninja school who are still taking trap assignment classes can make.

But if it is placed on a wild man who looks uncivilized, it will be sinister and sinister.

Because whether it is their ugly image or the low intelligence trait of being unable to communicate normally in words, it will subconsciously make people think that these wild people will not do such an act as setting traps.

If Harunozhao had lost his mind and followed the pygmy savage to this point, he would have stepped on the trigger without thinking, and then been killed by a row of wooden thorns coming from behind him.

However, since the gnome savages set traps on this road, it means that the dwarf savages are also going in this direction.

Haruno Zhao found the direction and continued to track, but this time the tracking will be more careful, always pay attention to whether there are any traps around.

Soon, Haruno discovers another trap.

It was an iron dysentery trap, the same shoddy roughness, covered with unseasonable dead grass, which was easily seen through by Haruno.

But just as Haruno Zhao was about to make a detour from the side, under the moonlight that accidentally revealed between the leaves, a silver silk thread appeared in front of Haruno Zhao.

Harunozhao immediately stopped, and hurriedly carefully inspected the place where this silver silk thread was connected, and found that it was another trap.

This is the same wooden thorn trap as the one I just encountered, except that this wooden thorn trap is much more sophisticated.

The connection between a row of wooden spikes in the tree and the trigger has changed from a thin blackened hemp rope to a more observable silver thread that is close to the one used by ninjas to set trap triggers.

And in order to prevent the wooden thorns placed on the trees from being discovered, the dwarf savages also set iron dysentery traps on the ground that ordinary people can easily see through.

Once the iron dysentery trap is discovered, most people will not hesitate to choose to detour to the side of the road, so as to often ignore the second trap hidden next to it.

And because of the mental inertia cultivated by the first Wooden Thorn Trap, most people would never have imagined that the same Wooden Thorn Trap would suddenly rise a notch in the hands of a dwarf savage and become so imperceptible.

The arrangement of three traps in a row shocked Haruno.

Even a ninja who is experienced in traps can probably do this when they can only use some raw materials to set traps.

And these sinister traps are unbelievably the work of some seemingly uncivilized gnome savages.

This is a vile, disgusting, even disgusting human race, and beneath their ugly, filthy, and nasty exteriors, there is actually an even more evil and sinister heart.

It's a bunch of old scumbags.

Recognizing the people he was facing, Haruno became even more worried about his wife and children, because no one knew what these despicable gnomes would do to them.

Continuing to move forward, this time Haruno Zhao's caution increased several times, and he encountered some traps in the woods one after another.

Like the previous Wooden Spike Traps, these traps are divided into a deteriorated version and an upgraded version, with the deteriorated version coming first, which is used to make people relax their vigilance, and then an upgraded version of the same trap is arranged, which makes people unguardable.

However, these traps did not work after Haruno Zhao fully recognized the meanness of these creatures, and Haruno relied on what he learned during his ninja days to avoid these deadly traps one by one.

Eventually, Haruno finally came to a place.

It is a rock crevice between the mountains, and judging by the meadow that has lost its freshness at the entrance, it is frequented by people.

This is supposed to be the nest of those gnomes.
