18. Intelligence analysis
Towards noon, the sky was shining brightly, and the sunlight passed through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees, leaving specks of light on the ground.
The forest is intertwined with light and shadow, and the view is clear.
The three of them walked slowly on the slippery mud floor, carefully surveying their surroundings.
"The trees here are nearly twice as short as the Dead Forest, but they're about the same as ever," Ginta thought silently......
"In other words, after hearing Komaru's voice, it's best to lurk near it first, so that the probability of catching it will be higher."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stomped the ground with one foot and looked back at the footprints left by the three of them.
With this information in mind, Ginta paused, and quickly followed the two Ebisu again.
The three of them walked and stopped, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in circles, and after five minutes, they did not hear any shouting.
Ebisu, who was at the front, secretly glanced back and found that Ginta's face was full of lightness, as if he didn't take this game to heart.
"That's it?"
Ebisu was not convinced.
In his opinion, Ginta's tactics were too simple.
With such a conservative formation, the Kime Gong Dao would definitely not take the initiative to attack.
"Sure enough, theory and actual combat are completely different, and if you don't have a lot of experience, you will only be overwhelmed as a captain......"
Ga! Ga!
Suddenly there was a duck cry in the ears of the three of them.
It appeared, and it was Komaru's voice!
Ebisu's spirit was shocked, and Kira also looked at Ginta seriously.
Ginta raised two fingers on his left hand and drew the "30" icon with his right hand.
Before the game starts, he arranges three modes of action.
A finger on the left hand represents Tactic A, indicating that you are on alert, as was the case with the slow action just now.
The two fingers of the left hand represent Tactic B, which means advancing at normal speeds to cover each other.
The three fingers of the left hand represent Tactic C, which indicates a full-speed pursuit.
Now his order is for him to try to advance to a position about 30 meters away from Komaru at a normal speed.
Ebisu felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, so he put away his thoughts, lowered his center of gravity, and ran in the direction of the sound source.
Kira and Ginta followed.
It took about twenty seconds for the three of them to walk around the forest in snakeskin, and they managed to hide behind a bush.
In the open space not far away, Komaru was twisting his body and walking forward slowly.
Ebisu looked around carefully and found no abnormalities.
It seems that Kimeko doesn't plan to attack them directly.
But as soon as he turned around, he was instantly stunned.
With three fingers in his left hand, Ginta poked wildly in Komaru's direction, ordering him to take the lead and rush out in pursuit.
Lose your marbles?
Ebisu spreads his arms and keeps waving.
Ginta's face was expressionless, and the thumb of his right hand pointed back at him, signaling Ebisu to hurry up.
Kira, who was watching from the sidelines, probably understood what they meant.
"Captain Gongdao is nearby, so if you rush out like this, you will definitely be attacked......"
"Give me orders!"
"Ginta, you'll regret it!"
"I'm the captain!"
“……”
Seeing that Kira didn't say anything, Ebisu could only push his sunglasses depressedly.
He turned to stare at Komaru, and the moment the other party changed direction, he jumped out of the grass with a "whoosh".
Whoosh!
Ginta and Kira also followed in time.
"Oops, they're all coming to get me!"
Xiao Maru, who found them, suddenly screamed, and the soles of his feet swayed like a convulsion, and began to run wildly in a puff of smoke.
The three of them and one duck chased each other in the forest, and the speed was almost the same, but Komaru turned back in a few steps, and changed direction around the tree from time to time, so that the pursuit team could not close the distance.
Swish!
But after a while, Ginta's figure suddenly flashed, swept past Ebisu, and accelerated towards Komaru.
"Quack, running so fast? I'm so scared......"
Seeing this, Komaru was frightened and quickly quickened his pace to widen the distance between him and Ginta.
Damn it! Ginta, what are you doing...... Ebisu was about to scream, but Ginta suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted, "Stay put!" ”
Whew.
At the same time, two stones flew towards Kira's back.
With a flick of his wrist, the shuriken hidden in the cuff fell into his palm and shot out like lightning.
Ding Ding ...... The two stones were pinpointedly intercepted by the shuriken.
There were also three shuriken spinning at high speed, drawing a large arc and flying towards the big tree twenty meters away.
The figure behind the tree didn't seem to expect his movements to be so fast, but he was slightly stunned, and the shuriken came from the left and right directions.
"Awesome!"
The shadow was short, narrowly dodging the shuriken attack, and then jumped off the tree trunk with a backflip, turned and disappeared.
Ebisu and Kira looked at this scene in amazement, and were speechless in shock.
Too fast and too accurate...... The shuriken skills displayed by Ginta are not at the same level as those tested in school......
Ginta held the kunai in his hand and watched cautiously for a few seconds before relaxing, "He retreated. ”
Of course, Komaru also took the opportunity to run away.
Kira asked dryly, "What are we going to do now?" ”
Ebisu originally wanted to question Ginta's overtaking behavior, but after the accident just now, he consciously didn't speak, intending to hear what the other party would say.
Ginta turned kunai with one finger, and then chuckled, "Scout the terrain." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Literally." Ginta put away the kunai, "From the series of temptations just now, I have determined several important pieces of information. ”
"It's what it takes for us to win, and the unspoken rules of the game."
Ebisu swallowed: "Tell me to hear it? ”
Ginta nodded: "Let's talk about the winning conditions first."
In the process of chasing Komaru, I suddenly accelerated, and as a result, Komaru also accelerated, keeping the distance between each other firmly between ten and twenty meters, and it was clear that it was not running at full strength.
But it didn't choose to throw us off directly, which shows that the siege must be completed in order to catch it. ”
Qiluo thought of the "terrain" in Yintai's words, and instantly realized: "That is to say, ......"
"That's right, find a way to force it into the four corners of this area."
Ginta continued, "In addition, I have deliberately tested the opponent's attack principles and prepared to investigate his ability to act. ”
"Obviously, he must be in the vicinity of Komaru, and he will also prioritize attacking those who break away......"
Ebisu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and clenched his fists.
Is this your analytical ability, Ginta? I didn't expect it to be so powerful......
I can't describe Ebisu's mood at the moment.
However, the unwillingness to fail the theory exam seems to have quietly dissipated......
Ginta came to the vicinity of the shuriken landing spot to check the traces left by the Kime Gong knife, and then searched the way for footprints on both sides of the previous pursuit route.
"After entering this forest, I found that the soil here is relatively soft...... "Ginta said confidently, "Even if he is a shinobi, he will definitely not have time to clean up these traces when he followed us just now." ”
Kira asked, puzzled, "Is there any use in knowing this information?" ”
"Of course it works...... Well, you don't need to know that clearly......" Ginta smiled.
"After a brief fight just now, I guess the captain of the sword will focus on me."
"The next time we collide, when we decide the winner, I have to make a detailed battle plan."
Their physical strength is far inferior to that of Komaru and Kime, and they cannot continue to pursue at high speeds, and the further they go, the lower the success rate will be.
Ebisu had to take it.
Obviously, only Ginta can pose a threat to the Kimeko Sword, and it is better for him and Kira to follow orders honestly.
