Chapter 287： First experience with cannon fodder (Part 2)

“Afraid of the dark?”

“Is the reason too far-fetched? If you need cannon fodder, just say so!”

Following the footsteps of the girl Satsuma, I wandered cross-country on the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire for three days, and finally headed to a very secret cave.

The so-called secret here does not mean that it is not easy to find.

But without a map, it is completely impossible to discover this cave!

Before entering this cave, no trace of the existence of this cave was found even if he used the spiritual energy after the "qualitative" transformation.

Only under the leadership of the girl Satsuma, we went to a dense forest, and later cut down a few trees, and finally the secret cave took a prototype, allowing the cross-country and the girl Satsuma to step into it.

So, almost as soon as I stepped into this cave, I immediately felt that this was the location of the Six Paths Immortal’s Secret Secret.

As for why the girl Satsuma is not afraid of the dark at ordinary times, but why she is afraid of the dark when she goes to this hidden cave, is there any need to explain?

Obviously, the girl Satsuma didn't know whether there was a trap in the cave hidden in the Six Paths!

The reason why we let off-roaders enter it first under the pretext of being afraid of the dark is to use off-roaders as cannon fodder to detect the six hidden roads!

However, it was a pleasure to go to this six-path secret place under the leadership of the girl Satsuma and spend a few days cross-country. Therefore, when the girl Satsuma assigned her to serve as cannon fodder, she didn't take it seriously at all. After listening to the girl Satsuma's words, she laughed innocently and said:

“Miss Satsuma, it’s quite dark here, so let me go to the front.”

“Hmm, wait a minute!”

“Let me get a torch first!”

I didn’t ask the girl Satsuma why she entered this hidden cave.

He even didn't investigate why the girl Satsuma used a flimsy excuse.

To be honest, after heading to the entrance to the Six Paths of Secrets, there was no need to worry too much about cross-country and the girl Satsuma, and I focused more on acting.

At this moment, what if the cross-country kills the girl Satsuma?

  Off-roading can completely record the location of the Six Secret Hidden Areas, and you can explore them later when you regain your strength.

No matter how dangerous the secrets of the Six Paths are, if a half-step quasi-shadow level expert steps into it, can he still encounter a life-and-death crisis while being cautious?

However, why did Cross Country not kill the girl Satsuma at this time, but instead followed the girl's instructions to make a simple torch, preparing to experience the feeling of being cannon fodder for the first time, and explore the path for the girl Satsuma?

There are three reasons!

First of all, Cross Country himself doesn’t know how many Kumo ninjas except the girl Satsuma know about the Secret of the Six Paths.

It would be okay if the girl Satsuma was the only one who knew the Secret of Six Paths. Then after she regained her half-step quasi-shadow level strength off-road, she would naturally be able to go to the Secret of Six Paths that no one had ever explored and take away the treasure left by the Immortal of Six Paths. .

However, if the girl Satsuma is not the only one who knows the clues to the Secret of the Six Paths, then there will be a problem.

The girl Satsuma went to the Kingdom of Rain by herself to detect the secret treasures of the Six Paths. She must not have wanted others to get there first and take away the secret treasures of the Six Paths. However, there is still no time frame for recovering half-step quasi-kage-level strength in cross-country. If you kill the girl Satsuma and return to Konoha Village to regain your strength, what will happen if other Kumo ninjas come here and take away the six secret treasures? ?

Second, it is still unknown in the off-road heart how much secret information the girl Satsuma has in her hands.

The majestic Immortal of the Six Paths left a secret treasure at the border of the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire. There can't be any restrictions or protection, right?

It is true that, having regained half a step of quasi-shadow level strength, Cross Country feels that he cannot encounter danger while exploring the secrets of the Six Paths Immortal.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of just in case!

What if the restrictions left by the Immortal of Six Paths are very strong?

What if it’s enough to kill a real shadow-level powerhouse instantly?

Off-roading is a person who cherishes his life. Naturally, he cannot put his life in an illusory direction.

So, since the girl Satsuma is sure to monopolize the secret treasures of the Six Paths, and the cross-country can crush the girl Satsuma in terms of strength, what will happen even if she acts as cannon fodder and obtains more information about the secret treasures of the Six Paths?

Anyway, there is no loss in going off-road!

Thirdly, the girl Satsuma's thoughts are hard to figure out now. They are the last worries stored in her heart.

The girl Satsuma always looks like she is swearing, and when she goes off-road, she always feels like she has some kind of trump card in her hands.

It would be okay if the trump card she has can only deal with Moi, an orphan from the Kingdom of Thunder dressed as a cross-country. If the girl Satsuma's trump card can deal with an elite jounin-level ninja, then cross-country will feel like she has to fight directly for the "identity" of a cannon fodder. It's not worth it for the girl Satsuma to fall out.

Speaking of the third reason, it is not that I am afraid of the girl Satsuma in off-roading, but that I am willing to become cannon fodder in the hands of the girl Satsuma because of the first two reasons.

Immediately afterwards, a simple torch was made. Holding the torch and walking into the cave, the cross-country began to advance slowly, while carefully observing the further movements of the girl Satsuma.

It was strange, almost the moment she stepped into the cave, she felt that the girl Satsuma was on guard.

That kind of alertness is definitely not for off-roading.

But inside this cave, there is something that makes even the girl Satsuma feel scared!

“It shouldn’t be!”

“Since my mental energy has undergone a real “qualitative” change, when I use mental energy perception, my perception ability is comparable to the wind perception taught to me by Minato-sensei.”

“However, every time I sensed the situation around me, I didn’t find any danger.”

“What is the little girl from Samana on guard about?”

“Are you guarding against the traps in the Six Paths of Secrets, or...”

“Is there an unknown secret in this cave?”

Analyzing silently, Xue Yu frowned slightly and accelerated his pace.

And in the case of Satsuma, the reason why the girl speeds up cross-country is probably because of fear.

Speaking of it, in such a small and dark environment, in the eyes of the girl Satsuma, even if she is an elite chuunin, she has been hiding her identity, and it is normal to have some fear in her heart.

After all, this is the secret treasure of the Six Paths!

On the contrary, it’s off-road!

The reason why he really quickened his pace was that he found something unusual about this cave.

Judging from the outside situation, this cave hidden in the dense forest can only be built a few hundred meters away at most.

If it is too long, this cave will definitely not be able to hide from the perception of perceptive ninjas. How can it hide even the off-road mental energy perception like before?

But the further you go, the more frightening you feel when you go off-road.

Especially counting the steps silently, it felt like he and the girl Satsuma had advanced thousands of meters, but still couldn't reach the end of the cave, which made a few drops of cold sweat flow from the cross-country forehead.

However, just when I was feeling a little panicked while going off-road, and when I felt that this cave was very weird, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound!

It is still a situation that has not been felt before when going off-road!

The only thing left in the dark cave is the two girls, Satsuma, who are off-roading!

The "whoosh" sound came, and Cross Country felt a sudden pain in his shoulder.

When Cross Country transferred the light of the torch to his shoulder, what did Cross Country see?

Off-road suddenly saw it, and as the "swish" sound came, a blood hole appeared on his shoulder!

“Moy, are you injured?”

“Wait a minute, let me bandage it for you!”

Suddenly injured on his shoulder, he didn't even notice any trace of the enemy. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his mind was running rapidly, analyzing the situation that caused him to be injured.

And when the girl Satsuma found out that she was injured during the cross-country trip, she looked even more panicked than when she was off-road.

Hurryly took out the medical bandage and quickly completed the bandaging for the cross-country trip.

But the weird situation still didn’t disappear, because when the girl Satsuma bandaged the wound on Cross Country’s shoulder, Cross Country discovered that the bandaged wound was still bleeding!

Furthermore, the blood dripping down the cross-country shoulders disappeared instantly after falling to the ground!

Not even a trace of dryness is left!

“The situation is not good!”

“It would be okay if there was only one injury on the shoulder. If there were one more injury, it would also be bleeding.”

“I am about to die of excessive blood loss in the cave of the Six Paths of Secrets!”
