Chapter 527: Battle in the Forest (1)
An hour later, drizzle fell in the valley.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and fine rain fell like silver threads, interweaving into a hazy rain curtain in the valley of Laoai Mountain, like a layer of gauze, shrouding the entire valley in a hazy atmosphere.
Jiang Ning was walking in the front. He was wearing a black tactical uniform. Raindrops kept dripping down the corners of his clothes, and his figure looked particularly tall in the rain and fog.
His steps were steady and firm, and every step he took splashed a small amount of water, which flickered faintly in the dim light.
Leng Yu and Lei Long followed closely on his left and right. The three of them moved forward in a triangle formation, keeping just the right distance from each other, which made it easy for them to take care of each other and be able to respond to emergencies at any time.
The valley was filled with a damp smell, a unique mixture of earth and grass. It became more intense with the rain, and was mixed with a faint smell of rotten leaves.
"How is the main force doing?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Fifty elite soldiers have been assembled and are heading here. It will probably take an hour," Leng Yu said.
"Ok!"
As Jiang Ning spoke, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He kept scanning the surroundings in the drizzle, not missing any slight movement.
His eyes swept across every tree and every bush, as if trying to penetrate the layers of rain and fog and see through everything hidden in the dark.
After practicing, Jiang Ning's spiritual awareness and insight far exceed that of ordinary people.
The further he went into the valley, the more Jiang Ning felt oppressed and dangerous. This feeling was like the fog in the valley, which could not be shaken off.
The next second, he seemed to feel that there were countless pairs of cold eyes hiding in the dark, quietly watching their every move.
"Ayu, Brother Long, be careful, there's something wrong with this place."
Jiang Ning said in a low voice.
The voice was slightly muffled in the rain, with a hint of solemnity.
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Leng Yu and Lei Long. In this silent valley, it seemed to have a special penetrating power.
Leng Yu nodded slightly without saying anything. His right hand tightly grasped a specially made short blade. The blade was flashing with cold light and looked particularly cold in this gloomy weather.
His left hand quietly grasped the pistol hidden at his waist, his finger lightly on the trigger, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
Her eyes were focused and alert, constantly observing her surroundings.
Lei Long moved his wrists, making a crackling sound, with a hint of anger and unruliness on his face: "Boss Jiang, I haven't been able to show off my skills for many days, and I'm worried that I have no place to vent. Now I can deal with any number of enemies. Especially that grandson of Cai Jun, who dared to kidnap Miss Shen. I will skin him alive if I catch him!"
As he spoke, he patted the pistol in the holster on the outside of his thigh and shook the broad combat dagger in his hand. His voice echoed in the rain, carrying a fearless aura.
The three continued to move forward. The valley became deeper and deeper, and the trees around them became denser and denser.
The branches and leaves of the tall trees are intertwined, almost completely blocking the sky, leaving only a few faint rays of light that shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
The rain slid down the leaves and dripped onto the ground, making a crisp sound, as if playing a strange melody.
Occasionally, raindrops fell from high above and hit their bodies, bringing a biting chill.
The atmosphere was dull and eerie.
Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps came from all directions. The sound was very faint at first, like the rustling sound of drizzle falling on leaves, but it soon became clearer.
Jiang Ning waved his hand to signal not to move. His eyes instantly became extremely sharp and he shouted, "Be careful, there is an ambush!"
At the same time, he squatted slightly, quickly pulled out his pistol, turned on the safety, pointed the muzzle in the direction of the sound, and his muscles were tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Almost at the moment Jiang Ning finished speaking, dozens of black shadows jumped out from the woods like ghosts.
These dark shadows were dressed in black tights, with their faces covered with black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that revealed ferocity and murderous intent.
They were the helpers Cai Jun invited, the samurai and ninjas from the Sakura Country.
The last defeat brought shame to Bushido and the Ninja Association, so this time they sent more elite samurai and ninjas to complete the goal and completely destroy Jiangning.
At this moment, the weapons in the hands of the ninjas and samurai flashed coldly in the rain, and the rain slid down the blades like blood about to splash.
"Hmph, it's indeed the method of that despicable villain Cai Jun." Lei Long snorted coldly, his voice full of anger and disdain.
As he spoke, Jiang Ning quickly turned sideways and hid behind a big tree, using the trunk as cover. At the same time, he winked at Leng Yu and Lei Long, signaling them to disperse and look for cover.
These warriors and ninjas exude a strange aura. Looking closely, there are some mysterious runes painted on their clothes. The runes are flashing with a faint blue light, which are the runes of the Onmyoji.
Under the influence of the Onmyoji runes, these samurai and ninjas are incredibly agile, and every movement seems like a black whirlwind.
call!
A ninja rushed towards Jiang Ning like lightning. His speed was so fast that only a shadow was left in the rain.
The kunai in his hand pierced towards Jiang Ning's throat with a sharp whistling sound, and the sharp sound seemed to cut through the dull rain curtain.
Jiang Ning quickly raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the pistol.
The sound of a gunshot rang out, echoing in the valley.
The bullet, with scorching heat, shot towards the ninja.
However, with the help of the runes, the ninja's reaction speed was extremely fast. He slightly tilted his body and narrowly avoided the bullet.
Last time, the ninjas only added runes to their weapons, but this time, their bodies were all blessed with runes, which seemed to be an upgrade.
While fighting with the ninja, Jiang Ning also realized that the ninja with the blessing of runes was extremely fast and incredibly powerful, and every attack was accompanied by a whistling sound of wind.
"Brother Long, A-Yu, be careful that the other party may have runes."
Jiang Ning shouted, frowned slightly, quickly put away his pistol, and pulled out the melee dagger tied to his calf.
Bullets are limited, so try to save them.
While the ninja was dodging the bullets, Jiang Ning suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, his body like a black lightning, rushing towards the ninja.
Before the ninja could react, Jiang Ning had already arrived in front of him. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light and pierced the ninja's chest.
The ninja hurriedly used the kunai in his hand to block. With a "clang" sound, the sound of metal collision was crisp and loud, and sparks flew in the rain.
Jiang Ning pushed the ninja away with force, then turned around and aimed his gun again.
The ninja was not to be outdone. He used the kunai in his hand as a hidden weapon and threw it towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning quickly squatted down, and the kunai flew over his head and pierced into the tree trunk behind him.
