Chapter 437: A Hidden and Magnificent Underground Transportation Line
The people in the second town seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and they waited at the door of their homes in advance, which startled the black-clothed ninja who led the way.
What's the matter with this family, standing so arrogantly outside the town, it's so easy to be noticed abnormally.
He clearly instructed not to leave the house early to avoid being discovered and causing accidents.
The black-clothed ninja couldn't help but worry, could it be that he was being targeted?
Recently, the theft operation has been a bit too violent, is it that Iwakuin Village has heard some rumors and sent ninjas to start investigating?
When hundreds of thousands of destitute poor people were transported away, there was no wave at all, after all, there were still tens of millions of destitute people who ran out of their homeland in order to escape the famine.
Millions of landless farmers were also transported away after the land was sold, and there was no need to worry, after all, those who bought the land would help cover it up.
But now the people who are being transported are the original middle class, people from well-to-do families, most of these people have a skill, and many of them are literate and can count, and they are all the backbone of a country.
Exile and death have caused the Earth Country to lose nearly half of its population, and although these people have no direct connection with the Rock Hidden Village, it would be too unreasonable if the Rock Hidden Village had not noticed it in the slightest.
The black-clothed ninja thought about giving up the family several times, but he couldn't move when he thought of the task reward, as long as he took out a person, Zhou Wenming would give 50,000 taels, an additional 20,000 taels for young men and women, and an additional 50,000 taels for children.
There are nine men, women and children in this family, and the combined price is more than 700,000 taels, which is not worse than the price of A-level tasks.
The black-clothed ninja went to the land of earth to take risks just to make money, and the income of 700,000 taels was in front of him, so how could he give up, so much money was enough to fight with Shangnin.
"Fight, where can you be so unlucky."
The black-clad ninja finally made up his mind and walked out of hiding and quietly approached the family.
……
Iwakure's patience with the loess was excellent, and he lurked silently beneath the earth, listening carefully to the movements on the ground while monitoring the captive bait overhead.
Suddenly, the sound of extremely slight footsteps came into his ears, once, twice, three times, the footsteps were light and the landing points were extremely far apart, and the loess quickly judged that this was the footsteps of the ninja.
"That's what I'm going to ambush, hmph, whoever he is or what he wants to do, take it and interrogate him."
As the ninja approached the decoy, his center of gravity and stance had been adjusted to downward force, ready to make one last jump on the ground, when suddenly, the ground where he was about to land turned into an empty pit.
At this time, the ninja couldn't do anything, so he could only fall into the trap with fear and helplessness, after all, in the ninja world, flying ninjas are very rare.
Loess is a very experienced ninja in combat, and without waiting for the target to fall to the bottom, he manipulates the ground to close and suffocates the ninja in the ground.
The honest-faced loess had no ill intent, and simply crushed all the ninja's limbs, and then broke half of his ribs, and this time released the target from the ground.
The black-clad ninja who had just surfaced from the ground let out a breath and writhed his torso like a snake in an attempt to escape, and the breaking of his limbs and ribs could not stop him from surviving.
But the loess also floated up from the ground, and the chubby fingers quickly sealed, almost a simple ninjutsu.
Tu Dun Huangquan Marsh
The black-clothed ninja could only struggle weakly in the quagmire, and the loess rushed over in two steps, grabbed the back of the ninja's neck, and bent it slightly, and in an instant, the black-clothed ninja became a high-level paraplegic.
Then there was the smooth binding, sealing, and packing, and although the man in black screamed continuously, the expression of the loess was only serious and insipid.
He was like a fish dealer, doing a job that he had repeated many times, without any passion at all.
At this time, several Iwakushi ninjas also appeared behind the family who were used as bait, and they asked, "What about these people?" Do you want to dispose of it now? ”
Loess shook his head and replied, "No, bring them back, Tokage-sama wants to meet them." ”
"It's always necessary to find out why, these people are too fragile to know anything after they die, or hypnotize them when they are alive to learn more."
Several ninjas immediately nodded their heads and took away the ordinary people of this family of five like chickens.
Loess also took his captives and left quickly.
"Really don't stop it?" Suddenly, more than two hundred meters in the air, a voice sounded, "After all, it's in front of us." ”
"Nope."
The two figures broke out of invisibility and quietly looked at the Iwakuin ninja who was about to leave the field of vision.
The butler stepped on the obviously wrinkled air under his feet, and said with a little unbearable: "This family of five went to Yanyin Village, and the end is definitely not much better, even if the ninja's hypnosis is not fatal to ordinary people, it will definitely destroy their sanity and turn them into idiots." ”
Oil Girl Tetsumaru looked calm, and said lightly: "At all times, everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions, but the price paid in peacetime is not large, but in this torrent of times that we have set off, the price will be very large. ”
"But he took the initiative to find the Iwakushi ninja and reported that even if the price was great, it was not a reason for me to save him."
"And that ninja is the same, he obviously discovered the crisis, but he took risks for money, and he can only be regarded as a well-deserved death."
Oil Girl Tetsumaru sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look somewhere else." Originally, they came out together to relax, but they saw this kind of bad thing, really. ”
……
Kishijiro squatted in the grass with his family, staring intently at the dark town, and the buzzing insects around him couldn't affect him at all.
The man in black who showed them the way said that he was going to the town in front of him to pick up another family, and it had been half an hour since he left them here, and Kishijiro's heart was beating faster and faster, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Fortunately, after another ten minutes, the man in black came back with a group of nine people, and without saying a word, he made a gesture to Kishijiro hiding in the grass, and then merged together and quickly left the confines of the town.
This time, the direction of travel was to point directly to the nearest mountain, and he traveled silently and hurriedly, and finally entered the mountain in the darkest hour before dawn.
Kishijiro never expected that the man in black who didn't say a word on the road would start scolding after entering the mountain, scolding the man of that family as he walked.
In fact, to sum up, the family is too disobedient, they obviously said that they would wait at home, but they ran outside, I really don't know how many people have seen it, and they will no longer be able to do the work of this town in the future.
"You guys are so messy, it's really your luck that there is no accident this time, and it's also my luck, but your town will be miserable in the future, and no matter how bold the ferryman is, he won't dare to go."
"Think about your life now, your neighbors, they have no hope at all, they will starve to death, it's all your fault!"
The black-clothed ninja finally got tired of scolding, looked at the sky and the environment, and finally decided to rest for a while.
On the edge of a clear stream, the black-clad ninja distributed a cube of dry food to everyone, and after repeatedly telling them not to light a fire, they rested on their own.
In fact, he was too worried, the fourteen people here are all town residents, and their experience in survival in the wild is basically zero, so it is impossible for them to make a fire in the wild, because none of them thought of going out to bring fire.
And after a night of walking, everyone was already extremely tired, and they had no intention of tossing at all.
Everyone hastily swallowed the dry food, drank the water of the stream, and then all the adults, children, old people, and women lay down on the spot, and they fell asleep without the dew on the ground.
After sleeping for two hours, the ninja woke everyone up and moved on.
At this time, perhaps because his anger had been vented, the ninja did not curse anymore, and silently led everyone all the way over the mountains and mountains, walking very slowly.
Fortunately, the road in the mountains was not far away, and when it was dark again, everyone came to a cave hidden behind vines.
The ninja checked a secret mark near the cave, and after making sure it was safe, he didn't hesitate to take them inside.
After two turns in the cave, the ground of the cave becomes very flat, and the sides and top are also neatly shaped, which is obviously a tunnel dug by hand.
Electric lights were installed on both sides of the tunnel, and the road became very walkable, and after walking downhill for more than an hour, you reached an artificial underground river, and everyone changed boats to go down the river.
The boats traveled along the river, merging into the tributaries wider and wider, until at last there was enough to accommodate several boats in parallel.
As the rivers merged, there were more than one boat moving on the river, and it was strange that several boats were exactly the same distance before and after.
At this time, Kishijiro's five-year-old son was tired of seeing the underground river, so he sat on the side of the boat to watch the water flow, and even stretched out his hand to pull the water.
Suddenly, the child was frightened and let out an exclamation: "Monster! There are monsters underwater! ”
The ninja standing at the bow of the ship immediately shouted loudly: "Don't move, it's a psychic beast, it won't harm you, but if you move and fall off the boat, you will die." ”
But some people can't hear others when they panic, and it's not the first time that the ninja has been a ferryman, he is very experienced in this situation, and he doesn't act politely at the moment.
He made a rapid circle along the side of the ship, striking the people who tried to jump up with the rings of kunai, knocking five people unconscious in the cabin, and deliberately hitting the head to break the blood.
The blood and the ninja's ghostly movements calmed everyone down, and the ship only shook slightly before it regained its composure, continuing to move forward at a constant pace.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the ninja put away the kunai and returned to the bow of the ship to continue staring at everyone.
After a three-hour voyage, the ship arrived at a vast cavern and boarded the dock from a gangplank of strange material, where the ninja docked.
The man was a young, overly blonde teenager who smiled as warm as the sun.
When the ninja saw this young man, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he even joked playfully, "Oh, Naruto-kun, it's actually you who came to pick me up, this is really lucky." ”
Naruto said with a smile: "It's too exaggerated, Ji Xiaolu-kun was able to complete the task safely, it's really gratifying." ”
Ninja Ji Xiaolu was shocked when he heard Naruto's words: "Something's wrong?" Did the Iwakure ninja go out? ”
"Yes. There were six ferrymen who didn't return within a safe time last night, there were too many people, they were definitely ambushed by the Iwakuin ninjas, and now the passages they were involved in were all closed. ”
Ji Xiaolu and Naruto Bofeng were silent, they both knew that the ninjas who came to do the ferryman's mission were wandering ninjas, and falling into the hands of Iwakuin Village would definitely be a dead end.
Ji Xiaolu rabbit died and the fox died, and Naruto Bofu was born with the heart of the Virgin, but both of them were qualified ninjas, and after thirty seconds of silence for the dead ninja, they continued to hand over the work.
After the handover, Naruto and Himekoji waved goodbye.
"Be careful in the next mission, don't take risks, once you have an accident, more people will lose hope."
"Phew! Naruto, you should say that I will definitely go well, and I took the risk to do this job to earn money, so I won't take risks casually. ”
Ji Xiaolu jumped back into the boat, and the octopus insect carrying the boat under the boat dragged the boat back and returned along the route from which it came.
Naruto Naruto led fifteen civilians to the depths of the cave, and the boats on the river went back and forth, and people kept getting off the boat and going ashore, and after the handover, they were led in the same direction by the young ninja.
Kishijiro tossed and turned for more than a day, and he had been traveling underground for a long time, and his worries about the uncertainty of the future were getting bigger and bigger, and the blonde ninja who happened to lead the way felt very friendly when he looked at it, so he couldn't help but ask, "This, my lord, do you know where we are going?" ”
Naruto Naruto replied with a smile, "The place you are going to is the Land of the Wind. ”
"Huh? Isn't the Land of the Wind a Great Desert? And I heard that it was also occupied by evil spirits and killed all of them. ”
"Hahaha, this is a rumor spread in Yanyin Village, the Land of Wind has been controlled by Zhou Wenming, we and Zhou Wenming are both enemies of Yanyin Village, don't believe these nonsense."
"You know, in order to bring you out of the land country, Zhou Wenming paid a lot of money for each of you."
"Regardless of the construction cost of the underground river and the purchase of the boat, it is the remuneration paid to the ninja who serves as a ferryman, and it is at least 50,000 taels per person."
"Ahh Yoshijiro was stunned, he never thought that his life would be so valuable, fifty thousand taels, a figure that he couldn't earn for many years.
As a self-made shop owner, Kishijiro knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and Zhou Wenming has paid so much money for himself, what do they want?
Kishijiro began to worry about whether he could afford the money, and what would he do with him if people thought he was not worth it?
Naruto Bofeng sensed his worries and comforted him and said, "Don't worry, what Zhou Wenming wants is population, after you settle down in the Land of Wind, you only need to pay your taxes on time and send your children to school, and Zhou Wenming will naturally get enough rewards." ”
"And if your children have a talent for learning and become great talents in the future, Zhou Wenming will make a lot of money, and they will be very satisfied."
"Is that so?" Yoshijiro will be skeptical, it would be great if it was true, even if he lived in the desert for the rest of his life, he was very hopeful.
