Early on the fifth day, the two of them finished their breakfast and continued on the road.
Just a few kilometers away, the bushes a few hundred meters away made a rustling sound, and then a figure rose into the sky and ran away quickly in the opposite direction.
It was the movement technique of the ghost ninja. Luo Lei was sure of his own judgment. Since the opponent's hiding position was beyond the old guy's sensing range, he did not discover it in advance.
"Chase!" Since the ghost ninja appeared here, it meant that their lair must be not far away, and the direction in which he was running was probably where his lair was.
The two of them chased after each other. Luo Lei used the snake-shaped technique and dropped Yaxue for a long distance after a few ups and downs. He had to stop and wait for the little girl to arrive.
"Master, don't worry about me. Go and chase me. I will catch up!" Yaxue said.
"No, what if this is the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain? It would be very dangerous to leave you behind alone!" Luo Lei said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"But if the master doesn't chase him, that person will run away!" Yaxue said anxiously.
"Haha, he can't run away!" Luo Lei said with a smile: "No matter how good his Qinggong is, he can't just fly back to a safe place! There will always be some traces left. Your dear master is a very good person.
A skilled tracking master, as long as he leaves traces, he can't escape from my thieving eyes... Ahem, it should be the eagle eyes! Besides, if we don't chase so hard, the other party will feel that they are safe, without thinking.
Choose the way back to your hometown instead of leading us in circles!"
"Yes, Xiaoya didn't expect that the master is so smart!" Yaxue said crisply.
A girl who is so sensible, has such a sweet mouth, and knows how to please others, let alone Luo Lei, it would be impossible for anyone else to leave her behind and pursue the enemy alone.
"Haha, let's go, let's just think of chasing rabbits!" Luo Lei took Yaxue's little hand.
"Okay, Xiaoya and the master are chasing rabbits!" Yaxue said softly.
The two of them chased after them leisurely, and the search task was handed over to the old guy. The old guy completely released his sensing ability, easily found the traces left by the ghost ninja, and searched all the way.
The person who appeared in front of Luo Lei just now was none other than the third elder of the ghost ninja clan, an eighth-level ghost ninja, and a second-level purple cherry ghost ninja. The two purple cherry blossoms on his chest illustrate his status in the ghost ninja family.
Among the Oni Ninja clan, the Purple Sakura Oni Ninja belongs to a status beyond ordinary people. People with a purple cherry blossom mark will be respected by everyone even if they are lower in Oni Ninja level.
"Strange, why don't they chase harder? Don't I act like a ghost ninja?" The third elder said to himself: "Impossible, I use all the signature moves of the ghost ninja, unless the opponent is blind.
Otherwise, these two people are just serious tourists! It’s better to wait a little longer and I’ll take action myself. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if I couldn’t lead them to the Nine Nether Valley!”
Thinking of this, the third elder deliberately left traces of his short stay here.
A few hours later, under the guidance of the old guy, Luo Lei chased him to the entrance of a valley.
There were obvious footprints on the ground. Luo Lei squatted down and used the criminal investigation techniques he learned from Gu Hanyan to determine that the other party was a tall man from an island country with a height of no more than 1.6 meters. He should be around sixty years old.
Yaya, even a sixty-year-old person can still imitate others by jumping up and down to save money, and he is not afraid of breaking his bones!
Luo Lei cursed a few times in his mind, stood up, and confidently pointed to the valley in front of him and said: "If I guessed right, it should be the ghost ninja's lair! The reason why this old guy did what he did here
He stopped here just to make sure there was no tail following him. How could he know that I am a master of tracking? Even if I start tracking tomorrow, I will still be able to find this place!"
"Xiaoya believes what the master says!" Yaxue glanced towards the valley and felt a bad feeling in her heart. Seeing Luo Lei's confidence, she didn't say anything more. Even if there was danger, with the master's skill, he would definitely
Easily solved.
Walk into the valley in two steps.
Phew... A gust of dark wind blew, giving people a creepy feeling. Yaxue couldn't help but hugged Luo Lei's arm tightly.
"Haha, don't be afraid, Xiaoya, it's just a gust of wind!" Luo Lei said with a smile: "Ghost ninjas deserve to live in such a gloomy place. It suits their wretched character so well! The fight will begin soon,
You have to find a safe place to hide, you hear me?"
"I know, Master, Xiaoya won't hold you back!" Yaxue said obediently.
"So obedient!" Luo Lei reached out and pinched Yaxue's watery skin. It felt so good!
Continuing to walk further in, judging from the time, they had gone at least two kilometers into the valley, but they did not find the ghost ninja's lair.
Could it be that she was still inside? The further inside she felt, the more gloomy she felt. If she hadn't been following Luo Lei, Yaxue would have turned around and ran away long ago.
"Old guy, focus on exploring inside to see if there are any buildings!" Luo Lei felt that he had to be more cautious. If there was a trap set by the enemy inside, it wouldn't matter if he suffered a little loss. He must ensure that
Yaxue's safety.
A few seconds later, the old guy said: "There seems to be a temple-like building inside. It's too far away, so I can only get a rough idea. As for whether there's an ambush inside, I'm not sure. Come closer!"
"Okay!" Luo Lei looked around alertly. If someone launched a sneak attack, he would respond immediately.
…
At the Ghost Ninja Headquarters, Kazuo Kobayashi looked at the sweaty third elder and asked, "How is it? Was it successful?"
The third elder nodded and said with a smile: "We have successfully led them to the Nine Nether Valley. They have gone deep for at least one kilometer before I came back!"
"Okay!" Kazuo Kobayashi happily slapped the table and said, "In other words, they will continue to go deeper! In another hour, the sunlight in the valley will be blocked by the trees on both sides. Those hidden in the valley will
It’s time for the evil spirits to appear!”
"Yes, they have gone in so far, they will definitely not be able to get out!" The third elder said with a sense of accomplishment: "At noon tomorrow, when the ghosts disperse, we can send people in to collect the corpses!"
Kazuo Kobayashi nodded happily and said: "I really want to see what kind of face the other party has, who dares to go against my ghost ninja clan!"
…
Continuing deeper, there were only a few hundred meters away from the so-called temple. Luo Lei was too lazy to let the old guy sense it, so he took out a telescope and a portable thermal imager and took a sharp photo of the temple.
There is no heat source on the display, which means the temple is empty.
Looking through the telescope, the so-called temple gate is made of stone, protruding from the mountain wall on one side. The stone gate is severely weathered, as if it has existed for thousands of years.
"It doesn't look like it. Although the Oni Ninja clan has been inherited for a long time, it doesn't look like it can have a civilization of thousands of years!" Luo Lei said to himself while adjusting the focus of the telescope.
"Master, is something wrong?" Yaxue asked.
"The atmosphere is wrong!" Luo Lei analyzed: "If this is the home of the ghost ninja, it can't be so deserted! Even if it is a place that only direct descendants can enter and exit, there should be people coming and going at ordinary times, how could it be so obvious?
Feeling of ruin?”
Yaxue had always followed Luo Lei's lead. The little girl had long felt that something was wrong, but she never said anything.
"The atmosphere is getting weirder and weirder!" Luo Lei raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was almost completely covered by branches and leaves, and said, "That's it for today, exit first, and come back to investigate tomorrow!"
The reason for making such a decision was out of consideration for Yaxue's safety.
"Yeah!" Yaxue nodded.
Just as the two of them were about to turn around, a burst of black energy suddenly surged out from the temple, like a giant python, flying towards them quickly.
I wipe it with something!
Luo Lei recited the incantation silently, and there was lightning and thunder!
A bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck the black air python, directly penetrating it, and the black air disappeared immediately.
Huhu, this startled me, and Luo Lei let out a long breath.
But what happened next left him speechless. More air pythons rushed out from the temple, making sharp screams and rushing towards the two of them.
"No, run!" Luo Lei was sure that this was a trap, but why such a strange phenomenon occurred was unknown.
Holding Yaxue's little hand, the two of them ran in the opposite direction together.
"Boy, I'm afraid you can't run away!" the old guy said.
"Can you shut up your crow's mouth!" Luo Lei said in a displeased tone, and his running speed became faster. Yaxue's feet almost didn't touch the ground, and he pulled her little hand forward and ran forward.
"Look ahead for yourself!" the old guy said calmly.
Luo Lei took a look and saw that he couldn't run away. The road ahead was filled with black mist, and pitiful screams came one after another, just like hell.
What the hell is this place?
"The master is not good, this may be the Nine Nether Valley!" Yaxue turned pale and said, "Xiaoya and the master are in dire straits!"
"Nine Nether Valley, where is that place?" Luo Lei heard this name for the first time.
"It's a very scary place!" Yaxue said with trembling body: "No one who accidentally enters this valley can come out alive! Those who are killed will turn into evil ghosts and kill those who accidentally enter here later.
, the number of evil spirits is increasing, and they are active when there is no sunlight!”
"Did you hear that?" Luo Lei curled his lips and said, "There are no ghosts in this world. It must have been someone who scared you when you were a child!"
Yaxue shook her head and said: "This is true!"
"Okay, then I'll get rid of these so-called evil ghosts!" Luo Lei stretched out his right hand and released a more powerful chain lightning spell. He wanted to prove to Yaxue that there are no ghosts in the world, and that ghosts are all made up by people.
