Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 16 Hunter and Prey

Kui Ren·Xiao!

He was a member of the Ashina clan who fought in the past to steal the country. He fought bloody battles just to open up a new future for Ashina. He was also a traitor who did not hesitate to cooperate with the inner government for his own ambition, leading to Ashina's gradual decline and destruction.

He always talks about the Ninja Commandments, but also throws them away when the need arises.

He is the adoptive father of the protagonist Wolf in the game. He told him to give up everything to protect his master Kuro Hirata. He is also the culprit who single-handedly created the tragedy of the Hirata family being buried in a sea of ​​fire.

He taught the wolf everything he had, and would silently give peony cakes made from precious and rare rice to the child he picked up. He would also deceive the wolf and then stab him in the back.

He is an unscrupulous conspirator, an out-and-out tycoon, a master of ninja tools who can do anything, but he is also a warrior who has tempered his mind and body to a strong level.

Under normal circumstances, while having a huge size and matching strength, it is difficult to maintain stealth actions. This is a fatal flaw for a ninja, but the owl moves like a light and silent bird. , which obviously requires strong willpower and persistent training to overcome his "congenital defects" as a ninja. It is difficult to imagine how hard he worked for it.

"In my impression, it was the first time that the Archmage and I met, but in the Archmage's eyes, I saw hostility. What is the explanation for this?"

The owl spoke in a dull voice, with half-closed eyes pretending to be old, concealing his deep cunning and murderous intentions.

"Sorry! I lost my temper! I was just too surprised by your size! Such a heroic gesture is rare in this world. It made me feel like I was facing the life threat of a ferocious beast. I couldn't help but take precautions. I offended you, please forgive me!"

"That's it!" Xiao nodded, seeming to accept the reason: "I heard that the Archmage joined the Hirata family. I was curious and came to disturb you. It was my fault! Oh, by the way! My name is Xiao, yes. An Ashina ninja."

"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao! I'm so disrespectful! I wonder what this is, Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao's face straightened up and he said:

"Isshin-sama received the letter from Yoshihiro-sama and learned the whole story. We were specially sent to assist. Another ninja, Butterfly Foot, and I were faster and led a group of hawks to come first to set up defenses."

I believe you! What a bad old man! It's not safe for Hirata's family since you're here, right?

Unexpectedly, the mission was triggered at this moment.

[Hidden mission: An unexpected disagreement has been triggered! 】

【Unexpected differences】

Difficulty level: Lv.6

Mission introduction: When the disguise of the mole is torn apart one step ahead of time, will fate still follow the previous route? Can what should be destroyed be saved?

Mission information: Expose the fact of Ukonzaemon Utsui and Choi's betrayal!

Task duration: three calendar days.

Mission reward: 8000 paradise coins, soul crystal (small) x4.

Failure penalty: Forced to leave the [Hirata Family] camp! The main mission failed!

Zhao Zijin had a flash of inspiration. Although the bandits got help from the inner government, Xiao and Die's betrayal definitely played a decisive role in it. If the two betrayers were exposed in advance before this, would there be some other situations?

For example, the sword master Ashina Isshin personally came to support the Hirata mansion and eliminate the traitors.

I’ll just say it! There is no way a paradise could be so targeted at one camp!

It turns out that this is the key to clearing the level!

After thinking about everything, Zhao Zijin had no intention of continuing to argue with Xiao here, and found an excuse to deal with it casually. He came to Yoshihiro Hirata again and asked him to prepare supplies for him to survive in the mountains and forests. He told him that he was going out again and was determined to rescue all the remaining Hirata warriors at once. The trapped Hirata samurai came back.

Although Hirata Yoshihiro was puzzled, he still did as he was told. While preparing his luggage, Zhao Zijin walked into the room again, wondering what he was doing.

Xiao stood on a watchtower, overlooking Zhao Zijin who walked out of the gate of Pingtian Mansion. The air beside him suddenly rippled, and a thin old woman appeared out of thin air.

蝶！

A ninja born in the "Boi Forest" with Xiao, unlike her senior brother Xiao, she is good at long-range kunai throwing, illusions and spiritual summoning of spirits. He also served as the ninjutsu teacher of the protagonist Wolf.

"Are you going to kill him?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head and objected:

"It's not the time yet! If possible, neither of us should take action against him. We can't let any doubts arise in this matter, let alone let these doubts be related to the two of us!"

"Continue to let Guyingzhong take action? Or should we let those monk soldiers go?"

"Let those weirdos go! The Lone Shadows and the Ninja Hunters are the key to us breaking through the Hirata Residence! Anaconda Juzo and the others can't do it either. They must be found in the Hirata Residence!"

"What if they fail too?"

"Then we have no choice but to take action! Get rid of the conjurer as cleanly as possible!" "Hmph! I hope so!"

Die snorted coldly, turned and left.

Xiao didn't look back at her, but murmured in a voice that only he could hear:

"Die! You don't understand anything! You don't understand anything!"

Inside the bandit camp.

"How's it going? Have you thought about it? Do you want to cooperate?"

Zhong, the leader of the Zhanxi Adventure Group, patted the table impatiently and urged.

"This mission is the best opportunity! Only by killing that guy can our camp win! I found out clearly that the guy was severely injured by the Lone Shadows before. He was injured and appeared alone outside. We are so If many people come together, no matter how strong he is, he will die there for us!"

The leaders of the other two adventure groups looked at me and I looked at you, but they still couldn't make up their minds.

The lone contractor couldn't help it anymore, slapped the table, stood up, and said fiercely:

"Do it! Starve the coward to death and starve the bold to death! He can't crush all of us alone, otherwise why would he be in the same derivative world as us! I may never encounter such a rewarding mission again in the future Come on! Brother Zhong, I’ll follow you!”

"Hahahaha! Good! You have courage!"

Tsukasa laughed and stood up, patted this guy on the shoulder, and said with admiration in his eyes:

"If I can successfully kill that guy this time, I would like to invite my little brother to join our rhino adventure group. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Brother Zhong! I am willing!"

"What, Heiya, Pico Luo, are you not afraid? Even if he is injured, you don't dare to fight with him?" Tsuka once again used words to persuade them:

"If it doesn't work out, I'll take pity on you and help you with a few pieces of Buddha candy!"

Buddha's candy is a drug specially developed by Xianfeng Temple to control the power of spirits. It reduces the load on the human body and the requirements for use. After eating, you can get a short-term BUFF bonus by assuming a specific posture. According to the properties of Buddha's candy, Different types will obtain different spiritual power BUFFs.

By joining the ["bandits"] camp, it's not like they didn't get any benefits.

Hei Ya gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, stood up, and shouted:

"Who cares about those things of yours! Isn't he just someone who plays with corpses? Kill him!"

Seeing this scene, Pico Luo sighed and joined them, planning together how to attack Zhao Zijin.

"Look! There is a cave on the mountainside of this mountain. It looks quite big, but in fact it is wider. As long as he is brought in, there is no way he can squeeze in so many shadow people, and even if he tries to use the terrain to defend, he can't. Yes, the wide opening will only make it easier for us to attack!"

Zhong took out the photo, passed it to several people, and talked about his plan:

"When the time comes to catch turtles in urns and beat dogs behind closed doors, I don't believe he can still be powerful!"

"We can also arrange some fire oil in the cave in advance, light a fire after he enters, and then block the entrance of the cave! Hey! Even if the gods are here, they can't escape even if they have wings!"

Hei Ya added that since he has decided to take action, he must have the mentality to kill the other party completely.

"Why do we need to go to such trouble to block the entrance of the hole ourselves? I can collapse the entrance of the hole and just seal him inside and roast him!"

Piqué Lowe also said.

Several people were busy in the room perfecting their plans. Little did they know that Zhao Zijin was also waiting for their arrival.

Who is the hunter and who is the prey depends on whose method is more skillful!
