After all, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree was an official Genin. He could not always not do missions, so he had always taken time to cultivate while doing missions. The Thousand-handed Rope Tree had long forgotten that his original goal was to learn the Instant Movement Technique. Now, he was practicing it happily.
"Rope Tree, have you memorized the acupuncture point map I asked you to memorize?”
"I know it like the back of my hand!" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said confidently.
"Very good! Now, he could enter the final stage.”
"Yes, sir!" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said excitedly.
"Try to use your maximum chakra spray from the acupuncture points on the soles of your feet.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree exerted strength and felt a huge force under his feet, sending him flying more than ten meters into the air.
"Wow!" "Bang!" Because it happened so suddenly, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree was completely unprepared and fell upside down.
"It hurts!" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree grinned.
"Hahaha! How do you feel?" Lu Yi laughed.
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said excitedly,"It's too powerful!" I didn't even use any strength in my legs, and I actually jumped so high!”
"Hahaha! You can now use chakra spray in all directions of your body. When you master it, you can teleport as you wish. No one can even touch the corner of your clothes.”
"That's amazing! He's too powerful!" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said hurriedly. He could not help but look forward to the arrival of that day.
"From now on, your cultivation will only be practiced. You don't need me.”Lu Yi smiled and said," When the time comes, if you encounter a difficult problem that you can't overcome, come and find me!”
"Then can I still come and look for you?”The Thousand-handed Rope Tree asked expectantly.
"Of course you can." Lu Yi laughed. Alright, take your time practicing. I'll be leaving first.”
"Okay, goodbye!"
In just a few months, Lu Yi and the Thousand-handed Rope Tree had become good friends. If Lu Yi did not want anything to happen to Rope Tree in the future because of Tsunei, then he truly did not want anything to happen to Rope Tree now.
"If someone who has mastered the Formless Seal Instant Movement is still killed, it can only prove that someone really wants the Thousand Hands Clan to die!”Lu Yi thought to himself," I'll go and ask Tsunami for advice on how to exert the force of the Strange Strength after some time. I'll see if I can develop a long-range Strange Strength Palm."”
After Lu Yi left, he went straight to Naruto's office.
"Lord Naruto, is there something you need from me?”
"Lu Yi, I heard that you're training Rope Tree? I heard that the effect is quite good."
"What's wrong? Lord Naruto is interested in my method?”Lu Yi smiled." If Lord Naruto is interested, I can give my method to the village." Just give me some compensation."
"You really don't lose out!”
"This is called respecting intellectual property rights!"
"Hahaha!" The third-generation successor laughed out loud before turning serious." We'll talk about this later. I called you over today because I have a mission for you.”
"What kind of mission?"
"Do you still remember your first mission?”
"I remember!"
"We have received intelligence from the River Country. It is said that several villages in the River Country have been massacred. The death of the villagers is very similar to Maekawa Izumi's doing. Therefore, the people of River Country entrusted us to investigate this matter.”
"Maekawa Izumi?" Lu Yi frowned. This was impossible! He was indeed dead. It couldn't be him.”
"Of course not him, but no one knows if there's anyone else like Maekawa Izumi.”The third-generation successor said seriously," I know that you had an outstanding performance when you exterminated Maekawa Izumi, and you even cracked the secret of the blood ore that you seized from him. Therefore, the village believes that you are the most suitable person to handle this S-rank commission.”
"Me alone?"
"This matter is rather urgent. There is currently no suitable candidate in the village who can go with you. Therefore, you must remember that although completing the mission is very important, you must also ensure your own safety.”
"Understood!" Lu Yi nodded.
After officially accepting this commission, Lu Yi packed up and set off with Xiao Tian.
It was Xiaotian's first time leaving the village, so he was a little excited.
Three generations before they set off, they gave Lu Yi a map. On it were marked a few villages that had suffered destruction.
When Lu Yi arrived at the first village, it was obvious that the village had been cleaned up. The corpses of the villagers had been cleaned up, leaving only a dead village and the smell of blood that had not completely dissipated.
"They handled it too cleanly. How are we going to investigate? Was the efficiency of the River Country that high?”After walking around, Lu Yi, who found nothing, said helplessly," Forget it, let's go next!”
According to the map, Lu Yi went to the second village. It was still the same. It was cleaned up cleanly and there was still nothing. The third one was the same. This puzzled Lu Yi.
"If it was just one or two, it's possible. But three of them were cleaned up so cleanly. This definitely doesn't seem like the doing of the River Country. Could it be that the murderer had an obsessive-compulsive disorder and felt uncomfortable not cleaning up the scene after committing the crime?”
It had been three days since he came out, but Lu Yi still found nothing. He had searched the four locations marked on the map given to him by the third-generation successor, but he did not find any useful clues.
Oh, it wasn't completely fruitless. He found that every village had a strange aura that was faintly discernible, but he really could not remember what it was.
Lu Yi sat in a restaurant gloomily and ordered a few dishes, but he was not in the mood to eat.
At this moment, the conversation of the people at the table next to him caught his attention.
"Hey, hey, have you heard? Another village has been killed!"
"This is already the sixth one, right?”
"That's right! It was too terrifying! It was said that the villagers who were killed would turn into dried corpses one by one. It was so terrifying.”
"I also heard that these corpses disappeared on the second day. Now, the entire River Country is in a state of panic.”
"These corpses didn't just disappear for no reason! I heard that a monster ate them all!”
"How is that possible? What kind of monster would eat those dried corpses?”
"It's true! " I have a relative in the River Country's army. He saw it with his own eyes.”
Inns were indeed the best places to get information. Any minor character could provide you with important information. In such a short period of time, Lu Yi had gained more than what he had gained in three days.
Lu Yi walked over and asked," Hello, I'm Muye's ninja. I heard you talking about the murder case in the River Country. I want to ask you a few questions. Can I?"”
The two people who were chatting looked at each other. One of them said,"Ask away!"
"Thank you! You just said that the sixth village has been massacred. Can you help me point out the location of these six villages?”Lu Yi took out the map and said. There were only four locations on the map given to him by the third-generation successor. This information was already somewhat outdated.
"Sure!" The man agreed and pointed at the map." There are already four marks on your map! Yes, these were the first four unlucky villages. The fifth one was four days ago. If I remember correctly, it was this Golden River Village. The sixth one was yesterday. I remember it clearly. It was this Jinggou Village.”
Lu Yi marked these two villages as well. Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that these six villages could form a circle. This was obviously intentional!
However, there was still a huge gap between the first and sixth villages. It seemed that there would be a seventh village that would suffer. Lu Yi thought.
A formation? Making use of slaughter to set up a formation was indeed a common method used by devil cultivators. Blood Devil was also proficient in this. Could it really be another Blood Devil? Lu Yi thought.
"By the way, is there any pattern to the timing of the massacres in these villages?”
"Pattern? Right, the murderer seemed to only make a move every three days.”
"Three days? Every time? Are you sure?"
The man thought for a moment, then nodded firmly and said,"Yes!"
Three days? Then the seventh village would be the day after tomorrow…
"Also, I heard that other than the first village, not a single corpse could be found in all the villages that suffered. The villagers seemed to have disappeared into thin air.”
Lu Yi had also heard about this.
Lu Yi turned to ask another person,"Is the monster you mentioned real?"”
"Of course it's true!" the man said excitedly. My relatives saw it with their own eyes! Then, he told me himself!"
"Then do you know what that monster looks like?”
"It was too dark at that time, and my relative was scared to death. How could I have the time to remember the appearance of that monster? But according to my relative, the monster wasn't big, just a little bigger than a person.”
"Other than these, do you know anything else about this murder?”
The two of them shook their heads and said,"No!"”
"Is that so? Forget it! Thank you for the information."
"Will you catch the murderer?"
"Of course!"
When Lu Yi returned to his seat to continue eating, the two of them started chatting again.
"Do you think he can catch the murderer?”
"He's just a child. I don't think so! But I heard that ninjas don't act alone. He must have companions.”
"Even if they have companions, the murderer is so powerful. Can they do it?”
"I think it will definitely work! I once saw a Ninja named Muye. He was only 14 or 15 years old, but he could jump to the top of a three-story tall tree and spit out raging flames. He was very powerful!”
"Wow! If that was the case, then there would definitely be no problem!”
Although they could lower their voices, Lu Yi still listened to them without a word.
"You know nothing about the power of ninjas! However, it was no wonder. Even after a few decades, Kado dared to threaten him and not kill him, and a group of wandering warriors dared to be so confident that they dared to resist him. It had to be said that they were really stupid. This also showed that although ninjas had become the mainstream in this world for decades, because of their professional nature, in the eyes of others, they were a group of tools that could be hired as long as they were willing to spend money.”Lu Yi thought helplessly," But I'm not considered a ninja. I'm just using the identity of a ninja."”
According to the map, Lu Yi quickly deduced the location of the seventh village-Mingjiang Ancient Village.
This village was called Mingjiang Ancient Village, not Mingjiang Ancient Village.
When Louis arrived at Mingjiang Ancient Village, he saw that the villagers were packing up and moving in a panic.
This was not because the people of Mingjiang Ancient Village knew that they would be the next victim. Lu Yi had seen many villages like them who had collectively moved out of fear along the way. These villages all had one thing in common, and that was that they were all located near this circle.
Lu Yi didn't stop them, nor did he have any reason to.
By noon, the entire village had been emptied.
"F * ck! They moved it too cleanly! There was nothing to eat! I miscalculated…"
