In the forest, the carriage was moving forward at a steady pace. It was very quiet along the way, and they did not see a single bandit. However, it was precisely because of this that Ling and the others were even more tense. In this era of war, the number of refugees had increased sharply. At the same time, many families had been destroyed in the war. As such, there were naturally countless bandits and bandits. It was really strange that they did not encounter a single one. The only possibility was that most of the bandits here had already been cleared out, or the bandits had run into someone even more difficult to deal with, so they did not dare to make a move. However, regardless of which possibility it was, it was not a good sign for Ling and the rest.
Chirp!
At this moment, an eagle suddenly cried out and flew into the clouds. The cry made Ling and the others frown. The eagle just now was different from the ordinary eagle. If it was a wild eagle, its fur would be darker and its cry would be more fierce. No matter what, eagles were the rulers of the sky. The cry of the eagle just now was not so much a declaration of its status as a signal. It seemed rather dull, and it had lost the sharpness of the overlord of the sky. The only explanation was that this eagle was raised by someone else.
"Ling, be careful in front!”Xi Ri and Xi Ri naturally sensed the atmosphere and could not help but come forward to remind Ling.
"Yes, I know!" Ling nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. After staying in the Dark Group for a few months, Ling's ninja qualities had greatly improved. At the very least, his ability to predict danger was much stronger than before.
The soldiers were also very nervous. Apparently, they knew something. After walking for two hours, the carriage stopped. It was almost lunchtime. Woodleaf Village was quite a distance away from the Country of Fire. If they walked at this speed, it would take them two days to reach their destination. Therefore, it was necessary to rest. Even if the ninjas could travel without rest for a few days, their physical strength would definitely be exhausted. He couldn't allow himself to be in a weakened state. This was also the iron rule of the ninja.
The group of people all stopped. The soldiers were responsible for keeping watch while Ling and the rest sat around eating. His Highness sat on a boulder not far behind Ling and the rest with a gloomy expression. However, at that moment, Xiri Xiyang's pupils constricted. She took out a handful of bitter herbs and shot them behind His Highness. His Highness broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could question her, bitter herbs had already flown past his face. Soon, a flower of blood exploded. The warm blood splashed onto the face of the princess. At the same time, Ling and the other two immediately sprang into action. They pounced on the princess and surrounded her. The Kunai that was shot by the setting sun had indeed hit a ninja. He was not wearing a forehead guard and was wearing ordinary black clothes. He was lying on the ground dead. The dead ninja had used a strange invisibility spell. No, it should be said that it was similar to a chameleon. He could use the surrounding environment to hide his body freely. However, its weakness was that it could not hide its aura. It was fine against ordinary ninjas, but it was impossible to deal with an Elite-level Jounin like Sunset.
His Highness's face was pale from fear. He hid nervously in the circle of Ling and the other two, his eyes looking around. This made Sunset frown. He knew that the mission this time was definitely not that simple, but now was not the time to ask so many questions. If the other party were to use assassination techniques such as invisibility, it would be really troublesome. After all, it was very difficult to determine the enemy's location based on their aura. Protecting one or two people was not a problem, but Ling and the other two were Genin, so they could not easily sense the other party's aura. This would make them easy targets for assassination.
Zi!
Just as Xiri and Sunset were deep in thought, Ling suddenly made his move. He stabbed the Kunai in his hand forward, and blood splattered all over the place. A middle-aged man appeared, and he fell to the ground with a look of disbelief. In Ling's left pupil, a black magatama was particularly eye-catching. In front of Shura Yan, such inferior camouflage skills were not very useful. The person who had just died was a chuunin, but he had too much faith in his own camouflage skills. That was why Ling had killed him so easily.
"Ling, you…" When Xiri Sunset saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She did not expect the Shura Eye to be so powerful that it could even see invisible people. This was truly a pleasant surprise. With Ling's help, she could easily find the ninjas who were trying to assassinate her and then kill them all.
"Captain, although my Shurun Eye can see invisible people, unfortunately, my Shurun Eye is only a single hook jade. I can only see the other party if I focus my mind in one place. If these people all spread out, my single hook jade Shurun Eye can only protect myself!”Ling knew that he was planning to be a Conqueror of the Sunset, but unfortunately, the ability of the Single Hook Jade Wheel Eye was limited. If he wanted to find an enemy at a single point, he would need to focus. If the enemy was all scattered, the Single Hook Jade Wheel Eye would not be of much use. If it was a Double Hook Jade, it would be better. He would be able to see the invisible enemy at a glance.
"What?" When Xiri Xiyang heard this, he was about to say something when a dozen screams rang out. Fifteen soldiers fell to the ground at the same time, losing their lives. This situation made Xiri Xiyang frown. To be able to kill fifteen soldiers in an instant meant that there were at least fifteen enemies. This was not a good sign. Just as Ling had said, he could only find one enemy at most. It would be fine if fifteen people gathered together, but after they scattered... Indeed, Ling was left with only the ability to protect himself.
A gentle breeze blew gently, carrying a hint of blood. Kakashi and Oriki gulped nervously. Enemies that could be seen were never scary. What was scary was enemies that could not be seen. This made it impossible for anyone to attack. Ling's pupils were fixed on the surroundings, but he did not see a single person. It was obvious that after Ling killed someone, these people were on high alert and had all hidden themselves. In this way, as long as they did not attack Ling... Then Ling's single magatama shirunaka would be useless.
"Tsk, you're actually being played like a monkey by a group of trash!”Ling pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. He was very unhappy. A few minutes had passed, but the other party did not make any move. However, the atmosphere was even more tense. Everyone's nerves were like taut strings, not daring to relax at all.
