Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 241 240. Unknown Ninja

Children seem to be a unique and precious 'resource' in every world.

The Witcher's Green Grass Trial basically only has a 30% passing rate for children. Count Stesa wants to turn beautiful children into pedophiles and give them to the people of the Sun Cult to enjoy.

In this world, a group of ninjas are also searching for children.

Children are a fragile and powerless group, but they possess a wide range of value. Without punishment and control, of course, they will become food for other powerful and immoral groups.

"You have fought against them." Lan En's tone was very calm, but the emotion revealed in his tone made people feel chilled.

"What are the characteristics of those ninjas?"

Ninjas will have group characteristics due to different training methods.

Because there is a lot of leg and foot kung fu in the cultivation method, the Gu Yingzhong are all tall and slender.

Ashina's side is short and capable, except for Xiao's body, which is innate.

[Light Body Technique] is a basic skill that is almost universal among ninja groups, but this technique, which involves controlling changes in body buoyancy, will naturally differentiate into school characteristics as you practice it more.

Faced with further questioning, the wolf first turned to Yuzi for approval.

It wasn't until the little boy nodded slightly that he continued in a calm tone.

"They are a group of very short ninjas, never more than 1.4 meters tall. Their torsos are like wooden barrels, and their limbs are thin but powerful. They wear large hats that can be used as shields, single-toothed wooden clogs on their feet, and use small daggers when fighting. Close and thrown, with poison on the blade.”

"What I encountered was a team of eight people. After killing one person, they killed three people head-on. In the end, they were scratched on the waist and were poisoned and retreated."

"If Miko-sama orders the pursuit, then I will continue to track and behead the remaining four."

As a standard high-level ninja, after Wolf introduced the situation, he still did not forget to apply for mission instructions.

But Miko shook her head calmly.

"The enemy is a group of ninjas. It's too difficult for you to chase them alone. And to kidnap children in such a large area, there must be more than one group wandering around."

"This is why I want all the guards at Pingtian Village to be alert. The enemy is in the dark and we are clear, and there is nothing we can do about passive defense."

"Lord Lan En, please support me."

Yuzi nodded in Lan En's direction, but he immediately noticed that the demon hunter's expression was a little abnormal.

"You haven't seen those ninjas, but I seem to have."

The demon hunter slowly stood up on the tatami and walked out with a cold face.

Not only had he seen it, but he seemed to have comforted a sinner who had kidnapped a child!

——

The next day, Lan En returned to the place where Longquan River draws water. Of course, there was no one here.

Although the dark clouds of the imperial army's pressure on the country are slowly dissipating, the destroyed things need to be rebuilt, the plundered food needs to be accumulated, and people are very busy.

This is just convenient for Lan En.

There is a lot of water vapor on the edge of Longquan River, which makes tracking more difficult. If there were more and more people coming to worship, even Lan En wouldn't be confident that he would be able to find clues in this situation.

He still remembered that when he came back from Tanzi Chunchang, he saw a strange man who fit the description of the wolf here.

Wolf describes the figures of those who don't recognize ninjas as 'barrels', while Lann sees them as 'potatoes'.

That deformed man wearing a big black iron hat, Tanuki, once worshiped his dead son here.

Lan En's cat eyes looked at the ground, and the demon hunter's extraordinary vision turned the whole world into a magical and twisted scene in his retinas.

And those footprints are highlighted in red in this bright color.

"These are straw sandals. This man is barefoot. Single-tooth clogs! Found them!"

With the blessing of extraordinary senses, the tracking technology of a witcher far exceeds that of an old hunter who has been immersed in hunting for more than ten or twenty years.

Finding the footprints is the first step.

The Ninja's body is very light, and his level of [Light Body Technique] is good. Even shoes like single-tooth clogs, which are supposed to leave deep marks, are very inconspicuous wherever he walks.

This level of familiarity is probably on the same level as that of a wolf.

This is an elite ninja. But his mind is confused.

No one would fill up the Renqi balls from the Longquanchuan water source, but instead of using them to pray for blessings, they would empty them and take them away.

Renqiu balls are made of oiled paper, bamboo strips, and cotton and linen threads. These things will produce a unique flavor after being stained with water.

The ninja ignored this.

Lan En raised his nose slightly, capturing the messy smell molecules in the air.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

"I found you."

Those cat eyes looked at the rugged terrain of the Ashina area.

Under such intricate height differences, geological faults of five to six meters can be seen everywhere, and narrow rock passages and caves are also common.

Lan En moved forward in this complex terrain.

He does not have the convenient movement method of a wolf, but the [Light Body Technique] has allowed his arm strength to exceed his weight by a lot.

Generally speaking, a big muscleman will definitely not be able to hold up when competing with a gymnast with a smooth body.

Because the increase in arm strength is definitely not as good as the overall increase in body weight due to increased muscle mass.

The muscle structure of the demon hunters has been mutated by the magic potion, so that they can often travel through the mountains wearing armor.

Lan En, who had transplanted the gene seed and [Second Heart] for himself, and had already achieved results by practicing the [Light Body Technique], would only be more relaxed.

Even the inexhaustible vitality of the [Second Heart] made him feel no effort, and he had already climbed six consecutive height differences wearing a suit of heavy armor.

The total height is nearly thirty meters! Ten floors!

A naturally formed rock cave appears in front of you.

The smell of lamp oil, straw mats, and sweat came from inside. It seems that the man in the hat has been here for a while.

"I recommend you come out on your own, Rat."

The behavior of the other ninjas made Lan En not want to be polite.

"There are other exits to this hole, but I can hear the wind, and it's very high-pitched. It's not a big hole for a person, not even someone of your stature. Don't let me throw anything in there."

The demon hunter took out the knife from his waist and said coldly.

There was silence in the cave at first, but it seemed that he had given up on the illusion of being able to deceive the witcher. Then, a whistling sound began to be heard.

Just as Lan En felt, the deformed man wearing a black iron hat slowly walked out of the rock hole.

That action made Lan En's eyes flash with confusion.

Because his 'slowness' is not out of a ninja's caution, but more like a casual feeling that nothing matters?

Lan En has seen a lot of ninjas, and he feels that this is not the emotion that an elite ninja should have.

Even the ordinary Gu Ying Zhong and Yi Ying Zhong were much bolder and more ruthless than him at this moment.

The heavy-looking bamboo hat was slightly lifted by him, and at an angle where he could see Lan En clearly, he accurately stopped.

"Are you... the person passing by that night?"

His eyes were slightly stunned.

It happened to meet Lan En's thinking eyes.
