Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Lu Meng and Hamut climbed onto the high platform, and the tent was not far in front of them.

The fire had not spread yet, and Hamut breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he wanted to rush into the tent.

Lu Meng stopped him.

Before Hamut could ask, he saw through the eyepiece that the curtain of the tent was opened.

A thin figure walked out, arms hanging low, hands empty.

"Ase!" Hamut said in surprise.

It was Seto.

She was covered in blood and must have been seriously injured, but now she seemed to be fine.

Lu Meng glanced at Hamut, thoughtfully.

Even though he didn't know the details, he roughly guessed what was going on.

It's just that the other party doesn't seem to know Seto's identity.

"Ase, let's go quickly!" Before he could blame the girl for her unauthorized actions, Hamut stepped forward.

The next moment, the girl raised her head, revealing her blood-red eyes.

Then he rushed straight towards Hamut!

"Aze, you..."

With Hamt's speed, he could have avoided it, but he was completely unaware of what was happening, and he was not prepared.

When he reacted, a bloody claw was already reflected in his eyes.

Boom!

Seto's body suddenly went limp and he was about to fall down.

Lu Meng retracted the knife and grabbed her collar to prevent the little princess from falling on her face.

[Stealth: 59 (Outstanding)]

At the moment neither of them noticed, Lu Meng had already ducked behind Seto and subdued her with one blow.

His stealth skills are now on par with his sword skills, and he is also just one step away from reaching the master level.

Without such camouflage and concealment capabilities, today's entire infiltration plan would be impossible.

"Lu Meng!" Hamut was shocked, "She is..."

Ase was not a very kind girl on weekdays, but those red eyes and crazy expression were something he had never seen before.

Not to mention that she couldn't even recognize the person just now, and she killed him as soon as he came up.

On the other side, Lu Meng's vigilance and sensitivity also surprised him, so that it would not lead to an own mistake.

"Go crazy..."

As he became unconscious, the blood in Seto's eyes gradually faded, while Lu Meng frowned.

He carried the little princess on his shoulders: "It's too late to explain. Let's get out of here first."

Lu Meng just carried one person on his shoulders and jumped off the high platform with Hamut.

A mercenary came forward and handed over a gas mask.

Lu Meng took it and put it on.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and even if it couldn't burn down the entire camp, the smoke would still be harmful.

Fortunately, they have these swamp ninja gear to minimize the impact.

In the process of being captured, the swamp ninjas naturally suffered a lot of casualties.

After releasing the prisoners, except for arming them, all the extra masks and swords were accepted by Lu Meng and his party.

At this time, another group of people came running from the other direction of the camp.

They wore masks and dark green belts, carried bamboo bows at their waists, and carried ninja swords... They were exactly the attire of swamp ninjas.

But Lu Meng and others did not relax.

Because these people are the real swamp ninjas.

In this attack on the camp, they are a strong help, but only if the other party mistakenly thinks that they are their companions.

Once the truth is revealed, the swamp ninjas will immediately become enemies.

One of the leading chuunin saw Lu Meng and came up and said urgently: "Watchman, let's leave quickly and go to the south!"

The watchman refers to Lu Meng's role in this assassination operation.

Their hometown, the Water Tribe in the southern wetlands, was currently being attacked by the Red Sword Regiment.

The original order the swamp ninjas received was to go south to support the headquarters, without exception.

Now that we have finally escaped from the enemy's camp, we naturally have to retreat south as soon as possible and go home.

Hearing this, everyone's thoughts were raised.

The Swamp Ninjas are heading south, but they can't go with them.

Firstly, the destinations are different, and secondly, after getting along for a long time, flaws will always be revealed.

There are now hundreds of swamp ninjas who have escaped from trouble. Although they are not as numerous as the Stone Rat Group, they are still much stronger than Lu Meng's side.

The strength of a single swamp ninja exceeds that of the average Stone Rat Gang.

After all, they are the elites selected from the entire Water Tribe.

The mercenaries remained calm on the surface, but in fact they were ready to draw their swords.

Hamut's body gradually became tense.

If a conflict breaks out, he is sure to kill the chuunin opposite him with one blow.

It won't be a problem for everyone to eliminate this team.

But then he had to fight all the swamp ninjas, and it would definitely be a fierce battle, and there was no telling whether he could save himself.

Everyone, including the swamp ninja, looked at Lu Meng, waiting for his order.

Although the expectations of both parties are completely different.

But in their hearts, he is the undoubted leader of this operation.

Contrary to what everyone expected, Lu Meng said directly: "We can't go south."

"Why..." The swamp chuunin wondered.

As a member of the Water Tribe, everyone is anxious when they hear that there is trouble in their hometown.

After all, they still have their property and families there.

Then he had to rush back in a hurry.

Now you say you can't go to the south... Could it be...

Lu Meng interrupted him: "The road going south is very dangerous now."

"Big Al is actually not dead yet."

He lied without changing his face: "Although Big Al was injured due to the assassination by me and that brother, he is the leader of the Stone Rat Group after all. At this moment, he only escaped with the remaining gang members."

"Given time, he will definitely make a comeback."

"Think about it, knowing that it was us who did it, where would Big Al lie in wait?"

——On the path of the swamp ninjas returning south.

"But," the swamp chunin wondered, "those leaders said they wanted to avenge Big Al..."

"Of course it's the fake news I released," Lu Meng's tone became 'eager', "If it weren't for this, how could the Stone Rat Regiment's camp be in chaos? Everyone wouldn't have been able to gather and escape so easily..."

"The top priority now is to leave from the west side, and then wait for an opportunity to take a detour to return."

"Watcher, good job." The chuunin admired him, "Then I'll listen to you."

They actually didn't expect this assassination to kill Big Al.

After all, he was the leader of a swamp faction.

It's enough to cause some confusion and help yourself out.

Now that they knew that Big Al was not dead, they found the news a little more credible.

The other party was able to think of using false information to confuse the enemy and succeeded in one fell swoop. It can be said to be quite resourceful and reassuring.

The swamp ninjas behind him also echoed.

They were able to escape today because they all relied on the secret agent placed in the Stone Rat Group. Naturally, they had no doubts at this moment.

As for Big Al's body.

They had long been mixed with the dead and wounded gang members, and they couldn't be distinguished clearly.

Hamut couldn't help but sweat.

It's not that I'm worried about Lu Meng.

But worry about yourself.

If he hadn't met Lu Meng in the Shark Kingdom and knew that Lu Meng was wanted by the Holy Kingdom, and seeing the swamp ninjas obeying orders like this, he would have thought that he was really a high-ranking swamp ninja executive.

Wouldn't it mean that he had just escaped from the wolf's mouth and entered the tiger's den again?

But to be honest... Judging from the other party's behavior, it seems that this is not impossible?

After drawing up a direction, the group set off quickly.

Along the way, swamp ninjas gathered from time to time and joined the team.

The mercenaries in disguise became increasingly nervous.

Although they avoided heading south into the Water Tribe's lair, they still had to walk with these water ghosts along the way.

It's easy to ask gods but hard to send them away. I borrowed the power of these people, but I don't know how to get rid of them so as not to attract wolves into the house.

Everyone rushed to the edge of the camp.

Just as he was about to enter the dense forest, he suddenly heard a roar.

"What sound?" Hamut became nervous.

The faces of the swamp ninjas changed.

Having been active in the rainforest all year round, they can naturally distinguish such calls:

"It's a blood spider!"

"And...it's a female insect!"

Sure enough, as the roar approached, several branches were knocked open and fallen leaves were cut into pieces.

A blood-red figure emerged from the dense forest. Just by crawling low, it was as tall as a person.

The camp was blazing with fire, and the dim firelight illuminated its solid carapace.

The fangs in the insect mother's mouth are still stained with saliva, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

The swamp ninjas drew their swords one after another, as if facing a powerful enemy.

But my heart is beating a drum.

An adult blood spider, although powerful, can still be dealt with.

But what came was the insect mother.

A mother insect that can grow to such a size has enough offspring to form a huge insect tide, and they should be following her at this moment.

It's dark now, and we're in a dense forest, which is the opponent's home field.

One mistake and they could all be wiped out.

Having just escaped from danger, but encountering such a crisis again, the swamp ninjas couldn't help but lament and despair.

However, they had not yet figured out how to deal with it.

The leading watchman has actually rushed towards the insect mother!

"Brothers, let's go quickly!" Lu Meng shouted, "I'll hold it back..."

On the other side, the 'squad' that was originally following the watchman saw this and rushed forward together.

Look at their backs without hesitation.

The swamp ninjas were shocked.

Faced with blood spiders, everyone living in the swamp will feel fear.

And if they were eaten by the insect tide, the pain would be unimaginable... The torture they had endured in the Stone Rat Camp was nothing compared to this.

In this case, the watchman was so decisive.

——Their compatriots are so brave and fearless, sacrificing themselves for others!

"What's your name!" someone couldn't help shouting.

Today, this brother has brought too many shocks.

Not only did he rescue everyone, he also took the initiative to assassinate Big Al to delay time. At the last moment of his life, he gave them the hope of life.

Even the most indifferent person will want to remember his name at this time.

"...The Shadow Man knows everything!"

After a moment of silence, these words came.

The next second, the figures of the companions had disappeared into the dense forest.

What followed was the hoarse and terrifying roar of the insect mother, and the rustling of the blood spiders crawling all over the ground.

Under the swamp ninja's hard mask, someone's eyes began to moisten.

They originally thought that after years of cruel experience, their tear ducts had dried up and they would no longer leave tears symbolizing vulnerability.

Shadow Man knows everything!

This means that these spies were instructed by Lord Shadow and were ordered to come to rescue them.

However, after they succeeded and retired, they actively chose to sacrifice themselves.

At the last moment, they still chose to keep the secret.

What loyalty to the tribe!

But...

The shadow man does know - but these brothers themselves have never even left their names.

Even if I want to remember them, I can't.

While sighing, the swamp ninjas also ran away.

No one took the initiative to follow and live and die with these noble compatriots.

Some people offered to die and acted as bait.

If you don't seize the opportunity, wouldn't you become a fool like them...

…

The sudden change made Hamut unable to react in time.

But seeing Lu Meng pounce on the blood spider and the swamp ninjas running away, he still knew which one to follow.

What's more, Ase is still on Lu Meng's shoulder.

The blond man immediately grabbed the knife and rushed into the dense forest quickly.

Following the roar of the insect mother, she was ready to help Lu Meng.

"Be careful..." Hamut split open the thick fern leaves with a knife, and was about to call out, but was stunned on the spot.

I saw that there was indeed an insect mother beside Lu Meng.

But this bloody monster seemed to ignore Lu Meng's existence at this moment, and just lowered its head to gnaw on a corpse on the ground. It looked like it was a member of the Stone Rat Group who had been patrolling in the dense forest.

There were also six or seven medium-sized blood spiders at Lu Meng's feet.

They circled rapidly around the ground, making bursts of rustling sounds, which was where the noise of the insect swarm heard earlier came from.

The mercenaries seemed to be used to this scene.

Some of them took off their masks, took deep breaths and relaxed.

"This..." This is completely different from the picture Hamt imagined.

unbelievable.

Can humans and blood spiders coexist harmoniously?

It would be better to say that these aliens are like his subordinates.

Hamut then understood.

Those swamp ninjas were completely fooled by Lu Meng.

Looking at it now, this was a routine from the beginning.

Blood Spider obeyed the other party's orders, so he destroyed one side of the fence of the camp to attract the attention of the gang on duty;

Lu Meng sneaked in and pretended to be the squad leader, approached Gary and killed the second-in-command, leaving a void in the defense schedule;

This will release the swamp ninjas, causing chaos in the camp, and at the same time contain the Stone Rat gang, creating opportunities for assassination;

After using it, he deceived the swamp ninjas with lies and escaped with the help of blood spider attacks...

The plans are intertwined.

It can be said that all the utilization value of the swamp ninjas was squeezed out, and their humanity was also grasped.

Maybe the other party will thank him after it's over.

If a few people really catch up, even if they can discover the truth, they will be really unlucky.

Hamut rejoiced.

Fortunately, I didn't make an enemy of him, otherwise I wouldn't even know I was in a situation.

He walked towards Lu Meng: "Can you hand Ase over to me?"

"She is the friend I mentioned..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Meng rejected him.

Hamut's face changed slightly.

"Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions towards her." Lu Meng did not feel dissatisfied.

He knew that the other party didn't know Seto's identity, and he didn't trust him at the moment. He was just worried about the safety of the little princess.

However, since the mission objective has been obtained, there is no reason to hand it over.

Lu Meng comforted the drifter and was about to explain.

Suddenly, with his keen sense, he noticed something strange.

That was the sound of breaking wind, weak, but extremely powerful!
