At this moment, the camp was silent. Other than the ninjas who stayed outside to watch the night, the other storyline characters had already entered their tents and gone to rest. Lin Luo and the other Samsara travelers were no exception. They were the first to return to the tent to rest.
Because the rookies had been rushing for a whole day, they were too tired and fell asleep very quickly. One could even hear snoring coming from one of the tents.
Even Bai Sheng, who wanted to stay alert and hope that he wouldn't sleep so soundly, couldn't do it. Like the other rookies, he was in a deep sleep. Even if there were gongs and drums outside, it would be difficult to wake him up.
At this moment, the campsite was still a little dark because of the bonfire. Outside the camp, it was dark. The shadows of the trees were mottled, and there was a breeze blowing from time to time. The shadows of the trees swayed, accompanied by a rustling sound.
From the layout of the entire camp, it could be seen that the carriage was surrounded at the outermost perimeter, followed by dozens of horses tied to a few places. Further in were more than a dozen tents of various sizes. They were roughly surrounded in a circle, and the innermost ones were a few smaller bonfires and the largest bonfire in the middle.
The two largest tents were set up on the same side of the bonfire, and they were very close to each other. One of the larger tents was surrounded by smaller tents in the east, west, north, and south, like stars surrounding the moon. Needless to say, the tent in the middle belonged to Thousand-handed Rope Tree and his teammates.
From time to time, the chirping of insects and crickets, the cooing of unknown birds, the occasional snorting of horses in the camp, and the crackling of burning branches in the bonfire could be heard from the forest.
Three ninjas were sitting beside a bonfire. They were the night watchers tonight. They talked about unknown topics in low voices, adding some dry wood to the fires from time to time to restore the fire and not let it go out.
At some point, another group of three ninjas suddenly appeared beside the three ninjas sitting around the fire. The three ninjas quickly stood up. The leaders of the two teams seemed to have a brief conversation and handed over their tasks. The three ninjas who were originally sitting by the fire jumped up and disappeared into the vast night. The three ninjas who had just returned sat down by the fire, resting while warming themselves and drinking water. Occasionally, they would chat and laugh softly.
Just like that, the two teams took turns to change shifts and rest once every hour. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. The night was getting darker and colder. Fortunately, they were in the forest, so the wind was not very strong. The occasional chirping of insects and birds had disappeared, and the moon in the sky was also covered by dark clouds.
The people in the tent were sleeping even more deeply. The three people on night watch had also lost interest in chatting and laughing. They yawned from time to time, and the camp became more and more quiet.
It was not long after midnight when the three sleepy ninjas who were keeping watch in the camp seemed to have heard a slight noise in the forest. They were so scared that their sleepiness was gone. They immediately stood up and stared at the direction of the sound in the depths of the forest without blinking. From time to time, they carefully looked around the camp.
One of the ninjas let out a high-pitched, low-pitched, or gentle bird cry into the depths of the forest. He then listened carefully, but he did not receive any response.
These ninjas knew that they were in trouble. The ninjas patrolling outside must have encountered some kind of danger. They might have already been killed. Just as they were about to shout," Enemy!", they saw three Kunai shooting at them from the darkness. At the same time, more Kunai shot at all the tents from the darkness.
Everything happened too suddenly. It was too late for the three ninjas to dodge. They could only stand there and watch the Kuna shoot at their throats. They could imagine the scene of the Kuna shooting through their throats and the blood splattering. The three ninjas were sweating profusely, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
All of a sudden, they saw a blood-red light flash in front of them." Clang!" The three Kunai that had already shot towards them were split into two by the blood-red light. Then, the six pieces of Kunai lost their strength and fell to the ground.
Sanin had just escaped death and quickly turned his head around. He saw that it was a ninja in a black evening gown who had saved them. They knew this person. He was the captain of the guard team of the young master of the Thousand Hand Clan, the Thousand Hand Rope Tree, Captain Uesugi Village.
Just as he was about to step forward to thank her, he suddenly heard the entire camp shouting and killing.‘Boom, the sound of an explosion talisman, the sound of weapons colliding, and the sound of a sword clashing. Hiss, the frightened neighing of horses." Ahh!" The three ninjas quickly turned around to look at their surroundings. At this moment, the entire campsite was filled with shouts and killing cries. Enemies kept surging out from the dark forest, and their companions rushed out of their tents to meet the enemy.
Before they could finish sizing them up, they heard the captain of the Thousand Hands Clan's Shangshan Village guard team say," The three of you, hurry up and go face the enemy.”"Yes." The three of them responded respectfully and hurriedly joined the battlefield.
While the vampire captain was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard the elf beauty's voice transmission, saying that there was an enemy attack at night. As a Reincarnator who had survived in the cruel World of Samsara, he would not sleep peacefully in the storyline world. Instead, he was always on guard. When he heard that enemies were coming, he immediately lost his sleepiness.
He shouted " Enemy attack " to inform the storyline characters to prepare to face the enemy while rushing out of the tent. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw that the three Ninjas of the Night Watch were about to be killed by the flying Kuna. Without thinking, he quickly rushed to save them.
Of course, the Vampire Captain's rescue was not out of camaraderie, but to maintain the combat strength of their storyline characters as much as possible. After all, the storyline mission had just begun. If too many storyline characters died at the beginning, it would have a huge impact on their subsequent missions.
At this moment, the other three veterans had already walked over while protecting the Thousand-handed Rope Tree. "The few of you, protect the safety of Young Master Rope Tree. I'll go and help kill the enemy.”Without waiting for them to react, he rushed forward and joined the battle.
The reason why the vampire captain was so eager to enter the battlefield was not only to take the opportunity to kill more enemies to reduce the pressure of the mission in the next two days, but also to take the opportunity to kill more enemies to earn more reward points.
"Captain really knows how to be a good person. He takes care of all the good things, but we have to wait here without even seeing a bird's feather.”The muscular man shouted in dissatisfaction,
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree obviously didn't know the true meaning of his 'fake' guard's words. He thought that the guard was saying that he felt sorry that he couldn't personally fight on the battlefield because he had to protect him.
"Let's go and kill the enemies." As soon as Thousand-handed Rope Tree finished speaking, he rushed forward. His two team members followed behind him without hesitation.
" Young Master Rope Tree!" The muscular man was about to step forward to stop him, but the Knight man blocked his way and followed behind the Thousand-handed Rope Tree.
" You-" The muscular man was furious.
"Idiot, Young Master Thousand-handed Rope Tree is also a ninja. Of course, he has the ability and responsibility to kill the enemy. How can you stop Young Master Rope Tree?”The knight ran behind the Thousand-handed Rope Tree as he turned around and shouted at the muscular man, as if he was afraid that others could not hear him.
Then, he carefully glanced around and said in a whisper," Besides, the enemies this time are not very strong. As long as we pay attention, there shouldn't be any accidents. "We can also take the opportunity to kill more enemies and earn more reward points. We can't let the captain take all the benefits for himself.”
The muscular man didn't waste any more time and focused on killing the enemies.
