Chapter 1442 The Initial Discovery of the New World! (Two in One)
The biting cold wind blew the flying snow across the white ground.
The shadows of the mountains in the distance become even more blurred.
There is a huge volcano in the far north, spewing black smoke into the sky all year round.
This made the already dull, gray clouds and sky even darker and more depressing.
The whole world was filled with snow, smoke, clouds, and continuous mountains.
It looks like a magnificent landscape masterpiece.
But when you look at it for a second longer, you will feel sad for no apparent reason.
[Ga! Ga! Ga!]
Four slender figures were walking in a line, struggling on the steep snow-capped mountains, braving the blowing wind and snow.
When the howling of the biting cold wind was mixed with a few strange bird calls, someone in the originally silent team finally spoke up.
"It's actually a crow?"
The figure walking in second place said in confusion: "Strange, why does 'Alphonse' have crows?"
The leading figure walked in front, leaving footprints on the smooth snow with every step.
Hearing the voice behind him, he answered casually without caring: "Maybe a new species that can adapt to cold environments has appeared."
"Alright, concentrate. Our target is halfway up this mountain. Even though they are useless soldiers who have been eliminated since the war in the north seven years ago, don't let your guard down."
"Then can I ask you something? Why are we coming to this uninhabited northern land to hunt Awakened Ones when we haven't received any commission from anyone?"
At this time, perhaps you feel that the atmosphere is a little more relaxed, or you want to integrate into the group.
The figure walking at the end asked nervously.
However, compared to the three thin women before her, she was dressed in a thick cloak that covered her entire body.
And the color of the short hair is the most special brown-beige among the four.
The first and second people who spoke earlier ignored her.
Fortunately, the third figure spoke up and answered her question.
"The organization has changed its mind since the 'Northern War' seven years ago."
"Before this, the awakened ones did not like to live in groups and were always scattered everywhere. They were no different from demons who made trouble at will."
"But seven years ago in this place, the Awakened suddenly moved in groups and took the lives of the twenty-four warriors who were fighting against them at the time."
"Since then, the organization no longer treats demons and awakened beings as the same, and has adopted a policy of actively sending teams to hunt as long as they have information on their whereabouts."
Gularis, who was walking at the end, nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and murmured in a low voice: "So that's how it is. No wonder."
She wondered why these people disliked her.
This time their mission is also to defeat the Awakeners.
The power of the awakened ones is said to be far greater than that of demons, so naturally the stronger the partner, the better.
Not only was he a soldier at the bottom of the rankings, he was also a defective product with residual pigment in his hair and unable to regulate his body temperature and adapt to the cold climate.
It didn't take long.
The four of them arrived at the halfway point of the mountain that Captain Nina mentioned. The wind and snow here were even more severe than below.
But the greatest danger had already emerged as a dark shadow from the white snow fog.
This is an awakened being of huge size, with an ant-like appearance, a pair of tentacles, and two pairs of sharp tentacles.
As soon as the two sides met, there was no dialogue and they started a fierce fight.
The awakened one was the first to wave its front tentacles. Its attack speed was frighteningly fast, and the tentacles instantly turned into blurred afterimages in the wind and snow.
Nina and the other two quickly dodged, but their formation was broken up by the exploded dirt and snow.
However, Gularis, who is standing further back, reacts a little slower.
Although he dodged the attack, he was blown far away by the strong wind and hit the hard rocks on the frozen ground, knocking him unconscious.
"Captain! No. 47!"
The female team members who had ignored Gularis before couldn't help but shout when they saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, Captain Nina stopped her from going over to save the people: "Don't worry about her! She can't help anyway!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Captain Nina made a sound of breaking through the air and instantly leaped high into the sky.
The sharp silver eyes looked sideways at the awakener's back, and he held high in his right hand a silver-white long sword that was shining with cold light.
"Secret Sword. Chasing Shadow"
The next second, Captain Nina's figure turned into an afterimage and suddenly slashed down.
【boom! 】
The frozen ground, which was as hard as gold and iron, was shattered on the spot, but this was not the result she wanted.
The awakened one, who was like an ant, moved behind Captain Nina at an even faster speed.
"What a shame! Don't look at me like this. My speed is higher than that of awakeners of the same level."
But before it could finish its words, Captain Nina swung her right arm backwards.
The whistling sound of the sword wind passing through the air startled the Awakened One, and his huge body quickly retreated backwards based on instinct.
But who knew that Captain Nina would suddenly soar into the air and catch up with it above its head again.
"What's wrong with you? You can see me?"
The awakened one had no choice but to take emergency shelter, jumping into the air by touching the ground, but found that Captain Nina's sword was still chasing him.
But what shocked it the most was that the woman actually closed her eyes.
But the sword in her hand could accurately stab its location.
It is moving at high speed now!
"This is impossible!"
"It's useless. Once I swing the sword, it will never stop until the target's demonic energy is destroyed."
"What, you are tracking my demonic aura?"
The two sides were fighting at high speed, with each saying something.
This also made the awakened people's attention subconsciously focus on Nina.
"Then I just need to make you die first!"
The awakened one roared, but just as it was about to intensify its attack.
The four sharp tentacles on the left and right sides were chopped off by the swords of the other two female warriors.
"Our Existence"
"That's what's stopping you from doing that."
The two were in mid-air, each speaking a word, then turned around and spoke coldly to the awakened person behind them.
“Aaaaaaa——”
The intense pain caused the awakened person to scream miserably.
"Go to hell."
Captain Nina ignored its cry and appeared in front of the ant-headed creature. She was about to chop it down with the silver sword in her hand to complete this somewhat unpleasant hunting mission.
But at this critical moment.
A black shadow pierced Captain Nina's chest at lightning speed.
"what?"
The attack came so fast that Nina opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"team leader!"
"team leader!"
The two female warriors exclaimed in unison.
They thought it was the awakened one's doing, so they quickly jumped up and wanted to help Nina get rid of the other party.
But who knew that more dark shadows would shoot out from behind the awakened one.
In an instant, the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air was heard continuously.
"Ah ah!"
"Humph!"
The two men's bodies were pierced in mid-air and fell heavily back onto the snow-covered mountain, unable to get up.
In the blink of an eye, Nina and the other three all fell to the ground, and an atmosphere of despair began to spread in the scene.
Look behind the awakened one.
Two monsters that looked similar but both terrifying appeared from behind the snow-capped mountains.
"Tsk tsk tsk, we are not stupid."
"Since the organization has begun to regard us as hunting targets, we will also take corresponding countermeasures."
The four awakened ones whose tentacles were cut off sneered at Nina and the other two.
Then he turned around and complained to the other two awakened ones: "Tsk, you are so slow!"
"Sorry~, hehe, but you look really miserable."
One of the Awakened teased, while the other ignored them and turned his attention to Gularis who was lying in the distance.
"Oh?"
"Look, there's a colored one!"
"I didn't expect that there are still such rubbish in the organization now?"
Its words caught the attention of the first two awakened ones.
"She was quite far away, so she wasn't seriously injured."
Another awakened one who arrived later walked forward and looked at Gularis.
"It looks like she passed out from the pain, but she looks so cute when she's sleeping!"
The Awakener who walked up to Gularis smiled and said, "Isn't this just right?"
"If she is a waste among the warriors, I think her meat won't be too smelly."
"After we enjoy ourselves for a while, it looks like we'll be able to taste the fresh flesh and blood we've missed for a long time."
But who would have thought that as soon as it finished speaking, its insect-like or demon-like head was cut in half by an invisible air blade.
【boom! 】
Immediately, blood splattered everywhere and the body was separated.
The headless body fell forward heavily, making a dull sound.
"What's wrong?!"
"There's something nearby! Be careful!"
"Are they their companions?"
“But I don’t sense any demonic aura anywhere.”
Before he could finish his words, the awakened one with spikes on his back was cut into several pieces by invisible air blades.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the wound, which scared the awakened person whose four tentacles were cut off.
Because it never saw from which direction the attack came, nor did it see where the attacker was.
Until a flash of cold light broke through the cold wind and flying snow along the way and rushed towards its front.
"What, who are you?"
【Pfft! 】
The tall body was split into two in an instant, but unfortunately, it never saw the murderer's appearance clearly until it died.
at the same time.
Behind the snow-capped mountains five hundred meters away.
Four figures wrapped in thick white down coats were also communicating with each other.
One of them had his eyes closed and his right palm placed on the other's forehead.
The latter stared across the mountain at where Nina, Gularis and the others were.
They are a team of ninjas from the Hidden Mist Force who came to this new world through a small star gate to carry out intelligence gathering missions.
The former is Yamanaka Hiromi, who is a Chunin, and the latter is Hyuga Junpei, who is also a Chunin.
Yamanaka Hiromi was using his family's secret technique 'Perception Transmission' to share what he saw through Hinata Junpei's Byakugan with his other two teammates.
Aburame Shiguro, who is the captain and a jonin, and Natsuhiro, who is an elite chuunin.
In this way, the four of them witnessed the entire process that happened over there.
"Did you record it?" Aburame Shiguro asked.
"Yes, the language is English, so there is no problem communicating. The key word is 'demon spirit'."
"Those female warriors are suspected to be from the same organization. In terms of strength, the captain's strength, speed, and physical skills should be comparable to that of a major in the military, or even our Chunin, but his methods are too simple."
Xia Rixing looked at the content she had just written down in her notebook and answered softly.
"Well, the three female swordsmen who just killed those monsters instantly should have reached the level of colonel in combat power."
However, despite this, Aburame Shikuro's attitude still seems indifferent.
They had already seen the scene where three women hidden in black robes appeared later and slaughtered the awakened ones easily.
"It's a bit strange. They should be in the same group, but why do the five people who appeared later seem to not want to meet the four people?"
Xia Rixing used the shared White Eyes vision to look at the five black-robed figures leaving from a distance.
Then he silently observed the changes in the lips of the five people as they talked.
If there is no language barrier, lip reading will naturally come in handy.
"We have been suppressing the evil spirit for the past seven years, and only then have we been able to completely eliminate the evil spirit that was leaking out."
Xia Rixing whispered what one of the female warriors had said.
"And we can still sense the other party's evil spirit, so it is impossible for other fighters in the organization to find us."
"So that's how it is. They may have betrayed the so-called organization and hid in this cold snowy mountain."
"And just now I just saved a soldier from the same organization out of kindness."
"So, their conflict with the organization is not with other members, but with the organization's management?"
Xia Rixing, who was born in the Hidden Star Village, made some guesses based on the little information.
"So we should be able to gain enough information through them, especially about that organization," Aburame Shiguro whispered.
"Captain, do you want to keep those five women?"
Yamanaka Hiromi asked in his mind using the 'Mind-Reading Technique'.
Aburame Shiguro was a little hesitant.
In theory, their Kirigakure troops are only responsible for collecting intelligence or tracking key targets, and it is best not to engage in battle easily.
But since there are ninjas from the Yamanaka clan in the team, the best way to collect intelligence is to capture a local alive and read his memory.
This is actually why the Sea Village stipulates that the Kirigakure team that carries out the New World exploration mission must include the Yamanaka clan and the Hyuga clan, and the remaining two people will be arranged according to the situation.
They are usually ninjas from the Aburame, Inuzuka, Kamisui-ryu, or Kizuka clan, or those who are gifted in perception.
However, due to the recent demon war in the ninja world, there is a serious shortage of ninjas of all races.
It is not easy for their team to have such a complete lineup.
Or rather, Fukurokuju of the Sea Ninja Village regarded them as an elite team.
For this first-generation Umikage who was born in a starfish family, the safety of the ninja world is important, but the interests of the world government are more important.
As a Sea Ninja Village, we must take every mission from the World Government targeting a new alien world seriously.
So before Uzui Tengen, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara and others were preparing to go to the Ninja World, he stood up and proposed to leave behind some ninjas from the Hidden Mist Force, ready to accept missions issued by the World Government at any time.
At that time, Uzui Tengen and the others also thought that the star gate would not be opened again this year. After all, the star gate to the Beast God World had already been opened in the first half of the year.
But Fukurokuju insisted that there must be ninjas in the village to deal with unexpected situations.
Moreover, most of the ninjas in the Kirigakure Force are better at reconnaissance, which is not of much help in fighting against demons.
No matter what, the Sea Ninja Village is the Sea Ninja Village of the World Government, not the Sea Ninja Village of the Ninja World!
really.
The accident that Fukurokuju mentioned happened. The World Government actually opened a new star gate and needed a group of Kirigakure ninjas to go in and collect intelligence.
This made him feel very lucky. If the mission came and there was no one to send from the Sea Ninja Village, that would be a lot of fun!
Apart from anything else, Uzui Tengen, the second-generation Umikage, will probably have to take off his bamboo hat soon.
Unless he dies in the Ninja World, perhaps the World Government will give him some dignity and keep him as the Second Generation Sea Shadow.
"Captain, the weakest woman has woken up!"
Just when Aburame Shiguro was about to give an order, Xia Rixing suddenly spoke up to remind him.
Look at the other side.
Sure enough, the snow was covered with blood and body parts.
Gularis slowly opened her silver eyes and slowly stood up with her hands on the ground in the cold wind.
"Am I still alive?"
"Where are the Awakened?"
"I remember that several of them suddenly appeared. What on earth happened?"
At the same time, Aburame Shiguro said, "Hiroshi Chunin, immediately send your Crow and White Zetsu to follow those five black-robed women!"
"Yes!"
Yamanaka Hiromi did not hesitate and said immediately: "Go and follow the order."
"OK."
The next second, a mass of white substance emerged from his neck.
Eventually they turned into human forms and left the body, then sank and merged into the snow, disappearing without a trace.
"Xia Rixing immediately shared the direction they left with other teams and asked the team closest to be responsible for surveillance!"
"Yes, Captain."
Xia Rixing took out the Den Den Mushi and asked, "Should we go over and capture those four female warriors?"
Aburame Shiguro said immediately: "No, let's wait until they wake up, and then go over and see where the headquarters of that 'organization' is!"
He believes this is the most important goal of this trip.
