Chapter 43: First encounter with ninjutsu

"Because they practice ninjutsu, which is also their main martial arts, and those who practice it are called ninjas. They just lurk in the water in front of them, get close to your ship, and then use ninjutsu to attack and kill. I don't think they could have imagined that you could hurt their people so quickly. Once the blood spreads in the sea, then they will not be able to lurk in the water smoothly and safely, and they will have to retreat. ”

"Are sharks that scary? How many do they gather? Hengyu still felt unbelievable, saying this, it was like a shark saving the lives of himself and others.

"All I can tell you is that there are more than a thousand of them when they are gathered, and I can't count how many they will be. ”

A large group of people appeared on a large reef, and the boats stopped on the side of the reef. There are no plants on the islands and reefs, so they cannot provide a normal living environment. It's just a haven for fishermen to escape the storm. You can also see that in the middle of the sea, there are countless dorsal fins swimming. And the ship, which could only see people, did not know where it had gone at the moment!

Hengyu They are located, with a small beach in front and a bare mountain peak in the back. The crowd did not separate, and under the arrangement of the Li patriarch, everyone gathered together. There was no one to look for the strange ship, because everyone knew how unsafe it was. Finding no trace of the enemy is the biggest problem that everyone faces.

Heng Yu learned from Patriarch Li that in the half month that he had led his people to destroy the enemy, there had not been any head-to-head confrontation. The enemy never showed their figure head-on, and the Li patriarch didn't even know how many people there were on the other side.

In the half month that Patriarch Li was here, everyone was basically in a passive defensive state. Even though there are many people on your side, there are not many who really practice martial arts, so you must always be vigilant against the assassination of the enemy. Even so, they have lost a lot of people.

The speed of the opponent's ships is not very slow, so to speak, it is no slower than your own's. Therefore, it is difficult for the Li patriarch to pursue the other party with a single ship. And the encirclement and suppression, the assassination of the other party is also very tricky, and it is easy to disrupt the position on your side. Therefore, in the past half a month, Patriarch Li and the others have not caused any damage to the enemy at all. The only thing that can be done is to shoot arrows at enemy ships and deal negligible damage to enemy ships.

There were also fierce sailors who were not afraid of life and death, and thought of desperately destroying the hull of the other party, but these plans failed. When our sailors went into the water, they didn't see why it was as if they had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and not even blood had flowed. Later, everyone understood that there were ghosts in the water, so they strictly stipulated that their own personnel were not allowed to enter the water.

Although the enemy has not engaged him head-on, he has not retreated. It was not safe to send a single ship back to report the news. However, the Li patriarch and the others could not collectively go back to the place where they lived, if that was the case, it would be equivalent to giving up this territory. So I've been circling with each other. Because of this, the number of people on your side has been decreasing, especially in the first few days.

After many days of circulation, everyone vaguely knew from the ancient rumors what kind of group of people the enemy was, and also knew that the other party was using something called "ninjutsu". This relieves a lot of psychological burden for everyone, and there is no need to be afraid of ghosts and gods, and everyone can generally do a good defense.

"If you say that the other side is not in a hurry to retreat, nor is it in a hurry to take us, then it can only mean that they have another purpose, and the other party is here to spy on the situation. After listening to Patriarch Li's introduction to some deeds, Hengyu boldly speculated.

"I thought so too, and the other side deliberately approached us several times, and then immediately retreated after a few simple attacks. The fact that the opponent did not choose to attack aggressively is enough to show that the opponent is not enough to defeat us entirely, or that they will have to pay an extremely heavy price if they want to completely defeat us in the short term. The other side chose to encroach, neither rushing to defeat us, nor to move the rescue troops, then it is very likely that their purpose was only to protect. Li Weiming agreed. At this moment, he admired Hengyu more and more, and he didn't care about the difference between elders and juniors.

"I don't know what Uncle Li knows about ninjutsu!" Heng Yu humbly asked.

"We didn't go head-to-head, and all the information we got was based on some old rumors, so to speak, we didn't know anything about ninjutsu. Li Weiming's old face was also a little unbearable. "But after many days of observation, we seem to have found some patterns. ”

"We found that knowing ninjutsu does not necessarily mean that they have high combat effectiveness, and knowing ninjutsu only means that they can carry out assassinations very freely. Because we have encountered an opponent who has not been stabbed in the chest during the assassination, that is, some of us have escaped the assassination. The opponent may be afraid of exposure, and once the assassination fails, he will immediately retreat, and sometimes even choose to abandon the knife. ”

"We also found that it seems that ninjutsu can't be used endlessly. In the same process of assassination, we have noticed that even if the fighting power is very strong, it can inflict a lot of damage on us, even if the assassination attempt has not failed, and even if the figure has not been exposed, sometimes they will choose to retreat. And the person who retreated did not choose to give up on continuing the assassination, on the contrary, sometimes they would go on the ship again to carry out an assassination. And in between, it seems that they are only used to rest, so I guess their ninjutsu should not be used endlessly. ”

After chatting with Patriarch Li Weiming for a while, when he saw Zi Yan coming over with a few people, Hengyu chose to terminate the conversation, in fact, what should have been said was almost done.

"How is Lin Feng?" asked Hengyu. Except for himself, the other few people were watching Lin Feng's condition just now.

"The man said he was fine, he just lost a lot of blood and fainted. Xiaodong replied. Because in the eyes of everyone, no matter how you look at it, the so-called "Shenmu" doesn't look like a doctor.

"It's okay, it's okay. Hengyu was a little apprehensive.

"Young master, Brother Lin Feng has woken up and said that he wants you to organize everyone to defend first, and he said that he got some news that may have a role in breaking the enemy. ”

"Oh~ is it?" Heng Yu and Patriarch Li Weiming were surprised at the same time.

Hengyu and the others arrived in this area at noon, and this afternoon, a large group of people gathered together, all nervously defending. They were all waiting, waiting for Lin Feng to wake up.

"Brother, it's okay!" Lin Feng didn't wake up until the next morning, and Heng Yu stayed by his side early in the morning.

"It's okay, thank you Young Master Hengyu for your concern. In fact, I was only injured on purpose, and I passed out after I couldn't stand it for a while. Lin Feng replied with some emotion.

"Is it really okay? You said you were injured on purpose, why?" Hengyu was puzzled.

"Actually, I can not get hurt, but I still choose to get hurt. I hope to get some information, and I also hope that I can completely defeat the other party in the future. Young master, do you know what kind of exercises the other party is using?" Lin Feng changed his words and sold a pass to Hengyu.

"Ninjutsu. ”

"En?" Lin Feng was puzzled, but he was relieved when he saw Patriarch Li Weiming and his clansmen not far away. "Yes, those people are using ninjutsu. ”

"I don't know why you know it's ninjutsu, but now that you've figured it out, you must know some information about ninjutsu, so let's hear it. ”

"Yes, I've learned some information about ninjutsu in some ancient books, but not much. I know that the cultivation of ninjutsu is somewhat similar to the internal force of the Central Plains and our cultivation. It's just that ninjutsu is mostly only used for the transformation and operation of the body, and our internal force is more inclined to destructive power. Essentially, internal forces are much more useful. Because as long as the internal force reaches a certain height, it can do any body movement, and even perform similar stealth. Moreover, ninjutsu is used for the body shape, but it is not completely hidden from the body, and there will always be some flaws. Ordinary people may be able to discover its hidden form, let alone face a master of internal strength who can feel the flow of energy. Lin Feng explained lightly.

In that case, everything makes sense. I see!" Hengyu suddenly realized.

"Young Master, even if you know this, it doesn't seem to be of much use?"

"Xiaodong, you're just not good. Everyone shook their heads and laughed.

"What?"

"The mouth is fast, the brain is not fast enough. The hall burst into laughter.

Xiaodong could only look inexplicable, and after everyone had laughed enough, he innocently asked, "Am I at fault?"
