Chapter 26 Domination
boom!
The sound of hooks piercing into trees continued to echo in the forest. It was the wolf that was relying on its prosthetic hand to advance towards the Eternal Paradise Cult in the most energy-saving way.
While turning his body in the air and smoothly swinging out the grappling hook to fly up, he glanced down at the ground to find Kocho Shinobu who had set off ahead of him.
With his speed he should be able to meet him soon. Sure enough, after taking off again, Yu Guangzhong saw a tired figure staggering forward in the forest.
She has reached her limit...
As early as the first time he met Shinobu Kocho, Wolf judged from her breathing that she did not have the strong strength like Kanae Kocho. On the contrary, she was not only thin but also not strong. She seemed more like an ordinary girl who had worked hard to train.
Yet, she still risked her life to help her sister who might not need her help at all, and it was this emotion that made Wolf, a formerly emotionless ninja, curious.
The burning heat deep in his soul reminded him that perhaps the cure for Shura's Fire was in there...
On the ground covered with fallen leaves, Shinobu Kocho walked forward step by step with her heavy steps. She wanted to run but the taste of rust filled her tongue with every breath and she could no longer concentrate on her breathing.
Sister...sister.
I don't know why, ever since Chana Hui received the scroll, she had a feeling...
My sister might... die in this battle against the evil spirits.
But before she could come to her senses and explain things to her sister, her sister had disappeared before her eyes. Shinobu Kocho, whose parents had already been murdered by the demon, didn't want her sister to repeat the same mistake.
But she was unable to catch up in time. Her weak body could not match her sister's physical strength, who was born stronger than her. Now even her own body did not obey her.
This girl who had always been very strong was now shedding tears uncontrollably.
My body has reached its limit...
The next moment, my legs went limp and the ground got closer and closer to me. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the coming pain.
"Well."
The expected pain did not occur the next moment, but my waist felt tight and a gust of wind sounded in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I found myself flying away from the ground, and a big hand was around my waist, holding me to my side.
She raised her head with an effort, and the red haori she caught sight of from the corner of her eye made her realize the identity of the person who came.
"Has Minako been picked up by Ina?"
"Ah."
"..."
A bit embarrassing...
It was their first meeting and neither Lang nor Shinobu Kocho were talkative people, so the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.
Trapped by the wolves, he watched silently as he continuously released grappling hooks from the strange arm armor on his left hand, carrying him forward quickly.
The strange hand armor, the powerful strength, and the curiosity about Wolf's identity grew stronger in Shinobu Kocho's mind. She really wanted to talk to Wolf, but when she saw his indifferent expression, she didn't know how to start.
While Wolf was waving his prosthetic arm, he also noticed the strange expression on the Kocho Shinobu's face at his waist. He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then stopped waving his prosthetic arm and landed steadily on the path covered with fallen leaves.
After gently placing Shinobu Kocho on the ground, the two looked at each other.
What, what happened?
She was a little at a loss, but she had no strength left and could only sit on the ground and stare blankly at the wolf slowly squatting in front of him, as if a sound without any emotional fluctuations would never be heard.
"That position just now was indeed uncomfortable. Lie on my back and recover your strength."
So that's how it is... I didn't expect him to be so considerate...
Having never had such contact with a male of the same age, Shinobu Kocho felt a little awkward, but what the other party said did make sense. With a red face, she put her arms around Wolf's neck and whispered embarrassedly in his ear.
"I'm sweating a lot, please forgive me..."
If Kocho Kanae saw her shy look, she would definitely rub her eyes. Where is her serious, cute and slightly grumpy sister?!
Wolf naturally didn't take the other party's words to heart. How could a ninja who crawled and knelt among the dead bodies despise other people's sweat? However, the hot breath blown by Kocho Shinobu when she spoke in his ear made him shiver.
He held up Shinobu Kocho's ankles with both hands and carried her firmly behind his back. The moment he stood up, Wolf felt the weight of the girl behind him, which seemed almost non-existent to him.
So light.
I weighed it subconsciously and suddenly felt two soft things shaking behind me.
Ah... not good...
Although he had no time to marry and have children as a ninja in the past, Wolf still has some understanding of the female body structure after living for so many years.
Snapped.
I had expected that the next moment I would be slapped hard on the head by Shinobu Kocho.
"rogue!"
Knowing that he was in the wrong, the wolf decisively chose to apologize.
"...Feel sorry."
Seeing that the wolf was indeed not doing anything bad on purpose, Shinobu Kocho behind him just snorted coldly with a red face and did not pursue the matter any further, carefully adjusting her disordered breathing.
The wolf also freed his left hand to continue swinging out the grappling hook, soaring through the forest towards the Eternal Paradise Sect.
In mid-air, the wolf listened to Butterfly Shinobu's heavy breathing, occasional violent coughing, and the smell of rust that came after that.
Suddenly he remembered something, opened the light curtain and bought five pills from the store.
At this moment, there is no need to worry about anyone noticing something strange in the wolf's hand. He can just take the pill out of his holdings.
"...the special medicine from my hometown, let's try it."
As he spoke, he threw the pill up into the air. The Kocho Shinobu behind him also heard what the wolf said to her. She frantically stretched out her hands to catch the pill falling from the air and nearly fell off the wolf's back. Fortunately, she clamped her legs around the wolf's waist and was saved.
She took the pill and looked at it carefully. As one of the founders of Butterfly House and an experienced doctor, she couldn't tell what herb the pill was made of.
But the strong medicinal aroma coming from the pill does show that this pill is extraordinary.
She put the pill into her mouth, and the moment it touched her tongue, it turned into liquid medicine and slid into Shinobu Kocho's stomach and flowed to her limbs and bones. What surprised her even more was that vibrant green spots appeared around her, forming two big words.
rule
Then the light spot was absorbed into her body, and her tired body was immediately relieved, and the bloody smell in her throat also weakened a lot.
What a strong drug effect! No, this is really an ordinary drug?
After seeing this magical pill, Shinobu Kocho became even more curious about Wolf's origins and couldn't help but ask Wolf.
"Where is your hometown?"
"...Ashina."
“I’ve never heard of it…”
He was not surprised to hear that the other party had never heard of Ashina Wolf. In the past three years, he had investigated Ashina's deeds countless times, but the result was just as Shinobu Kocho said...no one had heard of it.
The wolf had already faced the reality. After that suicide, he came to a new world, and perhaps... he could never go back.
“It’s just an unknown little place.”
Shinobu Kocho raised her eyebrows to express her doubt. How could a place with such powerful medicine be just a small place?
Just as she was about to ask more, the wolf suddenly stopped and prevented her from continuing.
Standing on the tree branch, the wolf looked at the city that he had just separated from, and pointed to the temple of the Eternal Paradise in the center.
"Right there."
