Chapter 20: The Roar of the Beast Over the Village

Shinji was in no hurry.

After waiting for a while, and making sure that Tuan Zang was far away, he used the 'Transformation Technique' to raise his body, changed into a dark costume, and rushed towards the root base!

The base of the Root is underground, so there are no other doors or windows, just this underground entrance covered by a dilapidated building.

Therefore.

This is the only entrance and exit, which is guarded by root ninjas at all times.

Shinji naturally took this into account, so during the raid, he opened his kaleidoscope writing wheel early on.

When the root ninja stationed at the entrance spotted him and stopped him to verify his identity, he directly activated his illusion and took control of the other party.

"Take me to the secret vault of the group!"

He gave the order.

The root ninja who had been hit by the illusion did not act, and his expression struggled.

"Huh!?"

Shinji was surprised.

It is true that he has not specifically cultivated illusion, and no one has instructed him in the technique of illusion, but with the power of the kaleidoscope writing wheel, he has been brutal all the way and has not failed.

I didn't expect it to work here.

He immediately realized that the other party's strength was not weak, and he might even have trained to fight illusions.

With a sinking heart, he activated the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye again: "Take me to the secret vault!" ”

With the superposition of Hitomi's power, the root ninja finally fell completely into Shinji's illusion and walked towards the root base like a puppet.

Shinji, dressed in the dark, followed behind each other like a companion.

The interior of the root base is much larger than Shinji imagined.

After passing through a long spiral staircase, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"This..."

Rao was mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback.

In front of him was a huge pit that was bottomless, like a building jutting out into the ground, with a ring of rooms dug out of the rock on each floor.

Floors are connected in series by spiral stairs and rope bridges.

Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can't help but feel depressed and frightened.

"Go on!"

At Shinji's urging, the Root Ninja, who was controlled by his illusion, stepped forward again.

Shinji followed behind the other party while quietly arranging detonation charms at key points along the way.

As you go deeper and deeper, there are fewer and fewer light sources around, and looking at the pitch-black ropeway under your feet, it seems that you are really entering hell.

Shinji forcibly endured his uneasiness and watched his surroundings vigilantly.

Finally, after passing through the complicated spiral stairs and ropeways, the root ninja, controlled by illusions, led Shinji to a gate.

Shinji asked, "This is the secret vault of the group?" ”

The root ninja nodded.

Retreating to a safe distance, Shinji commanded, "Open it!" ”

The Ninja of the Roots stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Through the faint light source in the vault, Shinji saw the rows of display shelves inside.

It's just that at this distance, in this light source environment, even if he has a pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels, he can't identify the items on the display shelves.

After a deep sigh, Shinji asked, "Is there a trap in there?" ”

"I don't know."

The root ninja shook his head.

Shinji ordered, "You go in first!" ”

The root ninja didn't hesitate and stepped into the vault with one foot.

Snort...

Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning flashed on the floor of the vault, enveloping the entire root ninja who stepped into the vault.

"Ahh

A wail of pain echoed through the passage.

At the same time, countless warning lights embedded in the rock walls throughout the base flashed red in unison, and sharp sirens followed.

Shinji was shocked and quickly turned around.

Swish...

The root ninja who had just been electrocuted, and who was still smiling with green smoke on his body, and couldn't even stand on his feet, actually shot a kunai at him.

Shinji didn't dwell on it, and immediately fled after avoiding the kunai that flew in.

After a few moves, he sprang out of the passage and came to the spiral staircase outside.

With just a glance, he found that in the terrible siren, several figures rushed towards him from all directions.

I looked back.

The root ninja who was electrocuted also chased out of the passage.

Shinji breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he galloped up the spiral ladder and took out the kunai from the ninja bag on his waist that had already been tied with the detonation charm.

Then he threw all of these kunai into the trap he had laid when he came.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Soon, a series of explosions rang out inside the root base.

"Is he crazy?"

"Damn, stop him!"

"Damn!"

The root ninjas who surrounded and suppressed Shinji were furious one by one.

Although the root base is a structure that extends downward, although it can effectively prevent the enemy from infiltrating, it cannot withstand the damage caused by violent explosions inside.

One mistake is likely to cause the entire base to collapse inward, and everyone will be buried at the bottom of the cave.

So when they saw Shinji using the detonation charm to attack the rock wall of the base, several root ninjas didn't even bother to chase and kill Shinji, and immediately stopped and sealed the earth escape ninjutsu to strengthen the rock wall.

Shinji is actually terrified at this moment, but he has the 'Susa Nenghu' body, even if the root base is really blown up by him, he can rush out.

So he was even more unscrupulous, and pulled out the detonation charm in the ninja bag.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, the root ninja was torn apart.

If you detonate so many detonators at once, the base will probably collapse because it really won't be able to hold on.

When the time comes, not to mention that the base can't be saved, and none of the people present want to escape alive!

Therefore, several root ninjas who were still chasing and killing Shinji also stopped, for fear of further stimulating Shinji and causing everyone to burn.

Shinji also stopped detonating the detonation charm, and instead of stimulating the root ninjas, he activated the 'breathing method' with all his might, galloping all the way down the spiral ladder, and fled out under the gnashing eyes of the root ninjas.

came to the entrance of the ground, and at the moment of rushing out, he also put his hands on the walls on both sides of the entrance, plastered with detonation charms.

Boom!

The flames of the explosion engulfed the entrance of the root base in an instant, completely destroying the surface buildings of the root base.

Shinji glanced back as he was running.

Although he confirmed that there were no pursuers behind him, he still did not dare to be careless, and immediately dodged and sneaked into the grass.

It was only after escaping to relative safety that he lifted the 'Transfiguration Technique' and removed the mask he wore on his face.

"I can only rely on briquettes..."

Shinji looked in the direction of the root base with a solemn expression.

Just now, when he turned to flee and lure away the root ninja, the briquettes that had been hiding in his shadow quietly broke away and hid in the shadows outside the vault.

This is also the reason why the secret vault of the group is obviously close at hand, but he does not hesitate to turn around and escape.

"You have to get it!"

He prayed in his heart.

When a group like tonight goes out, the root base is empty, and the opportunity to neglect precautions is difficult to have a second time in a short period of time.

If you don't succeed this time, it will be even more difficult to infiltrate the base with a guarded root.

Roar...

Just as Shinji was nervous, there was a sudden roar in the distance, followed by a terrifying beast roar that echoed over the village.

Shinji followed the prestige, and was suddenly dumbfounded: "Nine... Nine-Tails!? ”
