Chapter 42: Encirclement, Pursuit, and Interception (II)

"Yes! Is Yi Yong still sober? ”

(Note: Yes, it is the name of the Xingjulang crow.) )

On the way to the border between the land of rain and the country of the river, Kyojurou held the reins of two horses at the same time, his eyes blazing, looking directly at the muddy and bumpy road ahead, planning the fastest but least bumpy route, while not forgetting to care about the things in the "carriage".

"Lord Water is still awake! I'm eating! ”

The crow replied hoarsely, with some surprise in his tone.

"Great! Well done! ”

Kyojuro's voice reached the rear compartment, and he didn't know who he was praising exactly.

Yi Yong slowly swallowed the loaf of bread, not to relieve hunger, but to dispel the numbness in his mouth, to keep his body as active as possible, and to replenish his strength and make some usable chakra.

The movement of the Yanhu before was not intentional on his part, but thinking about it, he also knew that when Yu Ren heard that kind of sound, he would definitely not let them run out of the country easily.

So he had to be sane and fight side by side with Kyojuro. Although he felt that Kyojurou must be stronger than him, it was in the rain, and he could play more of a role.

"If you see me close my eyes, peck me on the forehead."

Yi Yong's eyes looked at the crow a little strangely - why didn't he have the crow?

"Understood!"

Kyojuro's letter crow is the same as himself, and every sentence has to end with an exclamation mark.

Yi Yong lifted the tarpaulin and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, as well as the fleeting figures in the forest, and his face sank slightly. He didn't remind Kyojuro, because if he could see those people, then Kyojuro would definitely be able to see them too.

The other party hasn't launched an attack yet, so he should know that this car may be a precious test subject, so it's just a mouse trap.

[You have to prepare for the worst.] 】

He turned his gaze to the sleeping children in the car, searching for toxins in their bodies and whether the poison sacs were overloaded. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of amber eyes full of tears.

It is the hydrangea that adapts best to the poison sac of the sansho fish.

In the laboratory before, she had already gotten rid of the paralyzing effect of toxins, and the toxic substances in her body had been completely absorbed. The poison sac in her body is her only hidden danger at present.

"When will you ......"

In the middle of Yi Yong's words, the blood from the wound on the top of his head flowed from the corner of his eye, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Just when the car was bumpy."

Hydrangea got up, supported her weight with her arms, and sat down against the carport, tears never falling.

This big cat-like pupil color made her look less pitiful and more resolute, which was completely different from the frightened look when Yi Yong saw her two days ago. I don't know what she went through before she was captured......

"I remember you. Did you and your brother save me? But his voice didn't sound quite like it. ”

Naturally, she said that she was driving Kyojuro.

"It was another person who saved us all. I didn't do anything ......."

The more Yi Yong looked at Hydrangea's expression, the more familiar it felt.

He had expected the child to cry and mourn his grandmother, but she didn't, apparently trying to suppress the bad memories. It's as if as long as you don't want to get up, things never happen.

"Thank you anyway."

Hydrangea lowered her head, her voice empty and cold, not because of the joy of escaping the catastrophe, nor the fear of an unknown future, as if something had died completely.

“…… Do me a favor. ”

Yi Yong sighed.

Hydrangea looked at his bleeding knees, and a hint of overwhelmed nervousness flashed in her eyes. She didn't know how to deal with her injuries, and she ...... You can see the bones.

"You use the blood in the carriage to help me write some numbers on other people's wrists."

Through the gap in the tarpaulin, Yi Yong found that there were more and more figures near the car, but there were still a few people who could keep up.

After putting down the tarpaulin, his eyes were fixed on the letter crow.

These numbers represent the number of days it takes for toxins to be absorbed cleanly. If the doctor is unable to detoxify, the sac must be removed only after all the toxins have been absorbed. ”

"I see!"

To nod your head and not ask the stupid thing of "why are you telling me this".

"Can you?"

Turning his gaze back to Hydrangea's face, Yi Yong said a little more than usual.

"They all have similar experiences to you, but are far less adaptable to the toxicity of the pepperfish than you. If you mark this well, you may be able to save their lives. Now in the carriage, only you can do it. ”

Hydrangea's body trembled slightly.

[Save their lives? 】

【…… By me? 】

What Yoshiyoshi is doing is much the same as what he did to Tanjiro back then.

He hopes that this child can be transformed from the role of a victim to the role of a protector.

The more helpless a person is, the more he should know that at least he still has the strength to do something for those who are more helpless than him. When one becomes the most powerful of the weak, one often realizes that one's abilities are not insignificant, but precious.

“…… So, what do I do? ”

Hydrangea took a deep breath, quickly scratched her fingertips in the pool of blood on the side of Yiyong's leg, and then asked in a trembling voice, like a student preparing to prepare for the exam.

"Write a '1' on that child's wrist."

Yi Yong stretched out his hand and pointed to a girl, and then said to Xin Yao, "Her condition is the most stable, and the toxin will be completely removed after a day." ”

"That boy over there, it's '7'. The poison sac in his body was in danger of exploding......

"And him, it's '3'. The other is '6'......"

In this way, under the remote control of Yi Yong, Hydrangea completed the task, but as if she had run ten kilometers in one breath, she sat down in collapse and gasped for breath. Her body temperature was already much higher than before, and so was her heart and blood, which had regained its warmth.

And Xing Shoulang's letter crow has also learned about the physical condition of all children.

"In addition to these...... Is there anything else I can do to help? ”

Hydrangea calmed down and asked softly.

It seems that through what she has just done, she has discovered the role she can play.

Purgatory Kyojuro, who was driving, laughed and was happy for the girl's cheer up.

He can't see innocent people being killed, but Yiyong is a little different from him, and he especially can't see the weakness of others. In terms of making others strong quickly, all the other pillars cannot be compared with Yiyong.

"What an enviable talent!"

Kyojurou shouted approving as his golden-red eyes looked around the road like owls.

Not far ahead, there is a looming outpost on the border of the Land of Rain, and if the other party wants to make a move, it is now.

Sure enough, less than twenty meters after the carriage ran out, Xingjulang lowered his brows and shouted, "Be careful! ”

It was a sharp sound that tore through the air, like a wicker passing by a human ear. The voice grew louder and closer, closer and closer to the oilcloth wagon.

"Get down!"

Yi Yong made a two-finger downward gesture to the hydrangea, but the latter was stunned by the terrible movement, not understanding what was happening.

Fortunately, Kyojuro's crow reacted quickly, spreading its wings and fluttering on Hydrangea's shoulder, causing her to fall into the carriage in shock.

Almost at the same time, two giant shuriken more than a meter wide, one on the left and one on the right, fiercely and brutally scraped open the roof of the tarpaulin supporting the carriage.

At this moment, the carriage, which originally had an oilcloth roof, suddenly became an open-top car. The content inside is exposed to outsiders.

"My lord! It's all imps, it's test subjects! ”

Yoshito heard someone call and looked intently at the green-haired ninja chasing the carriage, carrying a giant shuriken that was exactly the same as the one just now.

"Stop the carriage at the checkpoint! Don't damage the subject! ”

A loud shout came from the rear, a middle-aged man full of energy.

"Yes!"

Nearly twenty shouts came from the surrounding woods.

They no longer hide their figures, and one by one they come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, targeting horses and Kyojuro, and throwing out all kinds of almost overwhelming forbearance equipment!

"Flames!"

The air around Kyojuro was distorted by the high temperature, and as he swung his knife violently, all the ninja equipment from both sides were swept up by the high-temperature air flow created by the blade and flew out, but the speed was not much slower than when they flew in, and many rain ninjas were hit on the spot, let out a scream, and fell into the forest, leaving the team.

It is also the breath of fire, and he only relies on physical skills, and the power is already so great, far beyond imagination.

But the green-haired ninja who was chasing after him took the opportunity to throw a giant shuriken again, and Kyojuro couldn't avoid it!

At the last moment, Yi Yong stretched out a long water blade in his hand, accurately pierced into the ring of the giant shuriken, intercepted it, and used the water flow to change the direction of the shuriken, and threw it back as it was, and the potential energy increased instead of decreasing!

The green-haired ninja didn't expect this change, so he could only stop and use the Earth Escape and Earth Flow Wall to resist, and only then did he escape the fate of being cut down by his own shuriken! But in this way, his pursuit was interrupted.

"Thrilling! It's thrilling! ”

Kyojuro continued to drive. Yi Yong looked fixedly, and crossed a narrow river in front of him, and then after another two hundred meters, it was the location of the checkpoint.

Just as he lowered his head and was about to check on the children's condition again, he found that Hydrangea was staring at the back of the carriage with resentment, tears streaming down her cheeks, as if she had been activated with painful memories.

"What's wrong with you?"

"That voice just now!"

Hydrangea's tone was a little hoarse.

"That's that person, he's Sansho Yujiahe! It was he who came out of Yuyin Village and forced my grandmother and me to drink poisonous mushroom tea! ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Hydrangea gritted her teeth and said, "I will never forget that voice!" ”

Yi Yong knew that the Sanjiao Yu Jiahe that Hydrangea said should be the one who ordered them to be stopped, and he was also the initiator of this poison sac transplantation experiment.

The reason why he forced Hydrangea to take the poison was probably to test her resistance to the toxin and then consider whether to bring her back as a test subject.

This kind of selection method of careless human life is convenient, but it can no longer be described as rampant and cruel.

"One day, I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"

Listening to Hydrangea's declaration, Yi Yong was silent and did not speak.

The carriage has crossed the creek and will not be long before it leaves the country. These children may have escaped, and the Sansho fish Jiahe may continue to catch other children to continue the experiment; Perhaps, he will rely on the power of Yunin and chase directly to the country of Kawanobi, which he has done before.

[Wait until they are settled, heal their injuries, and then come back to solve him completely? 】

[But in this way, how many people will die......]

At the same time as the righteous and courageous thinking about countermeasures, a sudden change occurred.

Several kunai flew out of the forest again, but their target was no longer the carriage, but the path of the carriage.

Each kunai queen is tied with a white rune paper!

"Trouble!"

Kyojurou tried his best to control the horse to dodge, but several detonation charms exploded at the same time, which still startled the horse to stand tall, and even flew out with all the people in the carriage, and the stopped horse was also killed by the follow-up attack.

On the way to be tossed, Yi Yong held the hydrangea closest to him in his hand, and the wide water whip flew out of his hand, tying the other six children in the air together, and then throwing them towards Purgatory Kyojuro.

Then Righteous Courage shot a water blade, shooting through the two rain ninjas who broke out of the jungle together. The other three were knocked down at the same time by Kyojuro's one-hit two-type Yantian Rising.

"Got it!"

After Xingjurou caught the six children, he looked at Yiyong who fell to the ground and couldn't move from a distance of seven or eight meters.

And more rain ninja has already appeared not far behind Yiyong, and he is about to catch up with them when he sees it.

[Let's go.] 】

Yiyong was drenched in heavy rain, propped himself up, and gave the secret signal of the ghost killing team.

[We have a way to get out.] 】

If Kyojurou doesn't leave now, everyone will be in a desperate situation.

Even if Kyojurou has a lot of strength, the more people he carries, the slower his speed of action will be, and the more likely it is that the whole army will be annihilated.

"I see! Brave! ”

Kyojuro is also well aware of the current situation, and also aware of the dangers that Yiyong may face. But as a pillar, the lives of ordinary people come first, and he also truly believes in the judgment of righteousness and bravery, and his firm eyes are enough to explain everything.

The swordsman may be confused in his heart, but his mind is always the clearest.

"I'll be back as soon as I've set them in!"

After saying that, Xing Shoulang no longer hesitated, picked up the six children who were tied up by the current, and rushed towards the checkpoint with all his strength, and the speed was actually a few points faster than the carriage.

"I have a plan. Don't despair. ”

Yi Yong looked at the pale hydrangea on the side, and cut a thin cross knife on his left abdomen, just like those children who were implanted with poison sacs.

"Remember to look at my gestures."

He didn't say much, immediately closed his eyes, and used his transparent micro-manipulation ability to slow down his vital signs to the extreme.

Hydrangea sat in the rain in a daze, and less than three seconds later, she was surrounded by the chasing rain ninja.

"You continue to chase, and if you meet the ninjas of the country of Kawanoku, kill all those test subjects."

A familiar voice appeared, and Hydrangea Muran turned her head, and a middle-aged man with white hair and about forty years old appeared beside them, looking at her eagerly.

It is the Sansho fish Jiahe.

"Anyway, the best of them is here, and the life or death of the others is not so important."

"Yes!"

Most of the rain shinobi continued to chase after them, leaving only Sansho Yu Jiaga and two guards to stay where they were.

"What's going on with this little ghost, how did he get hurt like this?"

One of the guards asked suspiciously, lifting the hem of Yiyong's clothes, "The knife edge of the experiment is cracked, and the person is no longer breathing, he must have died of blood loss." My lord, what should I do? ”

"It doesn't matter. As long as she's okay. ”

Sansho Yujiahe slowly squatted down and looked at the hydrangea like he was looking at his own daughter.

Being able to get rid of the paralyzing effect of the poison gas so quickly meant that Hydrangea was the most likely of all the test subjects to inherit his father's name, and was worth more than half of the people in the Land of Rain combined.

He even wanted to reach out and touch her hair, who looked at him hatefully, but didn't back down.

At the moment when Shanjiao Yujiahe's body leaned forward and was about to get close to her, Hydrangea saw Yiyong's fingers and made a "downward pressure" action again, so she woke up suddenly and lay on the ground.

Yi Yong opened his eyes, supported the ground with one hand in his left hand, and the water blade on the tip of his right finger instantly formed, and with the rotation of his body, he completed all the rapid circular cutting.

"Nino-type, Yokosui Wheel!"

The zigzag, round blade of water suddenly bloomed, and blood splattered everywhere. One squat, two stands, three bodies, have been cut in two. Halfway through their falls, their rapidly dilating pupils still staring incredibly ahead.

The giant wheel of water has not dissipated.

Yi Yong grabbed the hydrangea wrist, stretched out a blue lacing, grabbed the advancing wheels tightly, and was dragged into the small river not far away, and soon disappeared.
