The girl murmured to herself, buried her head in her knees, and fell into depression.
"I hate this ability... so much.
It allowed me to see the death of others in advance, but told me that there was nothing I could do.
It makes me awed and alienated... it makes me... like a monster that can only bring bad omens."
Ning Xue listened quietly until she finished venting in a low voice. He picked up the lower half of the mask that was lying aside and buttoned it up with a "click", covering all his expressions before he stood up and comforted her.
"A prophecy is just a prophecy after all." His voice was unusually steady through the mask.
"Since it can be broken once, it means it is not absolute. It is your choice to drive them away in the morning, and it is their choice to insist on following.
Before the result is determined, trying your best is the best way to fight against fate."
After speaking, he paused and then continued.
"This ability is not good or bad, it just tells you the results.
If the result is not satisfactory, then do everything you can to change it."
Ning Xue comforted her, but the expression under the mask was particularly complicated.
If he had known everything about the future and risked his life, he would have tried to change it.
Shion looked up at him after hearing this, looking at himself reflected in the cold mask with numb eyes.
For some reason, there was a strange ripple in her heart.
She lowered her head suddenly, thinking that when she told others, the other person's comfort to her was nothing more than, "This is my duty" or "This is the arrangement of fate." These compromising comforts.
This was the first time she heard such comfort against fate.
Ning Xue Seeing the other party lowering her head and thinking, she ignored her and just packed away the uneaten rice balls.
After a moment, Ning Xue packed up everything and looked back at Shion, who was still thinking with his head down.
"It's time to go."
After hearing this, Shion raised her head and looked at Ning Xue standing in the sun. She turned her head slightly and said softly, "Yeah."
Then he stood up, walked behind Ning Xue, stretched out his arms again, and put his arms around his shoulders. His movements were a little more trusting than before.
"Hurry up." Ning Xue reminded again.
"Okay..." Shion replied.
After hearing the reply, Ning Xue's legs gathered together with Chakra again, jumped into the jungle, and turned on Byakugan.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sun set slightly to the west.
A black shadow quickly shuttled through the forest, and then stopped on a tree branch not far away.
As for why I stopped, there is no other reason.
Just because in his Byakugan field of vision, he saw many carefully laid traps.
Trip wires, deep pits, poisonous arrows, and Explosive Tag formations buried under the soil were sparsely distributed on their path.
But these were not the most eye-catching, because deep down, he saw figures hiding behind the trees.
The number of people is approximately between fifteen and twenty.
The auras are mixed, varying in strength, but three of them, Chakra, are no stranger to Ning Xue. They are Kusuna, Shizuku and Setsuna who were defeated yesterday.
At this moment, these three people were not at the forefront of the attack position, but in the middle of the ambush circle. It seemed that they were in charge of the command.
Ning Xue hid behind a tree trunk, carefully observed their layout with Byakugan, and kept thinking in his mind.
The layout of the traps is a bit sparse, but also quite organized.
Maybe they knew that ordinary traps wouldn't be able to catch him, but the warning was enough.
The positions are scattered and have the potential to be encircled, and the three of them are located in the middle, which is convenient for support or command from all directions.
Ning Xue glanced at several key traps, as well as several Chakra whose fluctuations were relatively strong.
After thinking for a moment, I made my decision.
"What's wrong?" Shion on the back asked in a low voice with some confusion when Ning Xue suddenly stopped for a long time.
"There is an ambush." Ning Xue responded in a low voice.
Shion couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard these three words and immediately fell silent.
Since there was still some distance between them and the enemy, Ning Xue and Shion quietly moved to a commanding height.
This place is hundreds of meters away from the edge of the ambush circle, and there are huge rocks as shelters, so it is relatively safe.
He gently put Shion down, motioning her to stay quiet and hide behind the rock.
"Stay here, don't move, don't make a sound." His voice was very low, coming through the mask, with an unmistakable command.
Shion knew what he was going to do, and nodded obediently at this moment, no longer showing any eldest temper.
After settling the miko, Ning Xue turned his attention to the ambush circle in the distance again.
He sent a clone to stay here just in case, and the main body decided to defeat them one by one.
Jungle...
Ning Xue chose to break through the defense line on the left first. There are two traps here, widely spaced. There are only two enemies standing guard nearby.
And the enemy's attention may be on the open ground ahead.
Ning Xue's figure disappeared under the shadow of the tree, approaching silently, then jumped down from the tree, landed silently, and came behind his opponent.
Several small Ice Needle condensed in his hand, under the precise positioning of Byakugan.
Several "Whoosh..." sounds accurately penetrated the side of the enemy's neck and temples.
The man's body froze, the look in his eyes quickly faded, and he fell limply. But the moment he fell to the ground, he was slowly pulled by Ning Xue and laid flat on the ground without making any sound.
The first one.
He did not stop, Body Flicker Technique, and left the outpost, running straight towards an enemy not far away who was ambushing in a shallow pit and was responsible for controlling a certain poison arrow mechanism.
"Ah..." The man yawned softly. It seemed that he had been waiting for too long, which made him slightly mentally exhausted.
He shook his head, cheered up again, and continued to stare at Shi.
Suddenly! A hand covered his mouth, but before he could whimper, a Ice Blade pierced his throat.
He also died quietly like the man on guard.
The second one.
