For the time being, Orochimaru doesn't actually want to deal with sprites, but as an excellent ninja, he must at least know what methods he can use to deal with demons like sprites, which are almost immortal.

…

Well, okay, he actually wanted to see if there would be a chance to seal sprites for study in the future. Life forms like sprites were even rarer than tailed beasts, so he naturally wanted to know about them.

But at this time, the people from the Kingdom of Ghosts, who were running far away in the forest, did not know that an enemy they could not match had arrived, because their situation was also not good at this time.

Although they even abandoned the carriage and entered the forest to isolate the enemies in the air from the lush canopy, the pursuit on the ground never stopped.

The moment they were discovered, their location had been spread around by the enemy through signal flares. Then a large number of air ninjas gathered towards the location of the signal flares. The first ones to arrive were naturally those with the ability to fly.

Air Force.

But then, the enemies who had been searching on the ground also formed an encirclement and compressed towards them, and behind them, a group of air ninjas also gave up their aircraft and pursued them from the ground. Although the speed of the horses was very

Fast, but in the dense jungle, a large number of weeds, vines, and muddy ground greatly slowed down their speed.

In this case, those ninjas who can run and jump on the tree trunks are faster.

Gao Yuan, who was galloping, looked behind him. Although there was no trace of the enemy in his sight, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

Gao Yuan quickly judged the current situation. If it continued like this, they might soon be overtaken by the enemy and entangled, and the worst result would follow.

So after thinking of this, Gao Yuan immediately turned to Xiji beside him and said, "Ms. Xiji, we can't go on like this. Please put on your soldier's clothes. We have to leave separately. Otherwise, we won't be able to wait.

The reinforcements will be overtaken by the enemy."

Dispersed actions can also disperse the chasing enemies behind you. This method has little effect, but at least it can delay enough time to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After hearing this, Xiji nodded. She naturally knew that the current situation was very critical. In this case, every second was very important. Of course, she would not make any unnecessary arguments and waste her hard work.

It's time.

And she didn't avoid the crowd, but quickly took off her coat on the war horse, and then put on the soldier's uniform handed over by Gao Yuan.

The shrine maidens of the Kingdom of Ghosts are not the soft-bodied 'mage' profession. Their training courses naturally include the practice of martial arts, and without physical strength, they may not even be able to perform a ritual.

So I don't say how powerful they are, but at least they are stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Riding skills are naturally among their training courses, but in the original plot, because Xiki died too early, Shion did not receive a complete miko inheritance, and she was really just a frail mage.

'Now that I'm tied up, I have to be carried on my back even when I'm walking.

But fortunately, Xiki is not like this now.

Xiji changed her clothes, and Gao Yuan then called for a thin soldier with a similar build to Xigi, and asked him to change into Xigi's clothes. Then the troops of dozens of people were divided into five parts and headed towards each

He left quickly and relieved.

Xiji and the others continued to rush towards their original destination, which was the place they had agreed with Xianglin before.

As long as others can delay for enough time, they will be able to get reinforcements to arrive.

Xiji rode on the war horse and put a helmet on the head of Ziyuan in her arms, "Ziyuan, are you afraid?"

Ziyuan stretched out her hands and grabbed the helmet. This thing was too big for her now. Once it was buckled, even her sight was completely blocked. "I'm not afraid. As long as my mother is here, I won't be afraid."

.”

Gao Yuan had previously tactfully suggested that Xiji let go of Ziyuan and let her leave with the other troops, otherwise she would be a bit conspicuous with a child.

However, Xiki did not agree. She had put in so much effort for this purpose, just to let Ziyuan survive safely.

Moreover, if Ziyuan left her sight, she would not be able to rest assured.

"Ziyuan is so good." Xiji hugged Ziyuan tightly, then looked ahead and said firmly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Um!"

The troops divided into five parts have indeed dispersed the pursuing ninjas a lot. There are not many air ninjas behind them now. The division of troops will not only reduce their combat effectiveness, but also delay their action time.

After all, in a ninja unit, there will not be too many tracking ninjas, and when the escape traces are divided into five parts, those ninjas who are specialized in tracking must choose among the five traces. The selected unit

Of course, they will be overtaken soon, but this will buy some valuable time for other fleeing troops.

As expected, Xiki and the others were very lucky. There were thirteen empty ninjas who entered the forest to pursue them, but there were only two who fell behind them, and among them there were neither powerful ninjas nor ninjas who were proficient in tracking.

.

Because before they dispersed their hearts, Gao Yuan first led his troops to draw a small arc upward in the forest, and then the five troops dispersed. Xiji and the others suddenly turned in the lowest direction,

The one who served as the bait continued to move forward according to their original trajectory.

In this way, their suspicion level is reduced to a minimum. Although their whereabouts will definitely be discovered in the end, they will try their best to delay as long as they can.

There are eighteen soldiers in Xiki's unit. These people are elites selected from the entire escort team. Their training methods are somewhat similar to the warriors of the Iron Kingdom. Although they cannot use ninjutsu, they

But it can enhance the body's abilities through chakra and deliver extremely deadly slashes.

Some of these powerful samurai are even able to fight Chunin, but...
