Chapter 392: Distress
Time passed by minute by minute.
Just as Qingming, under the cover of the night and using the powerful insight of the Sharingan, observed the actions of the Mist Ninja in the base below and collected intelligence, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot over.
Instantly, a strong sense of crisis came over his heart.
Almost instinctively, Qingming dodged to the side.
The next moment, a crossbow arrow as thick as a baby's arm flew past his shoulder, and the whistling wind it brought made his cheek hurt.
This is not over yet!
After dodging this attack, the sense of crisis in his heart did not disappear. Qingming's mind quickly flashed the scene of the crossbow arrow flying just now, and it seemed that there were several talismans attached to it.
"It's a detonating talisman!"
Qingming was horrified and immediately pushed the 'Wind Style·Wind Wings' to the limit and flew away from the original place in an instant.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
The explosions of the three detonating talismans sounded almost at the same time.
The next moment, three red fireballs appeared in the air, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the entire night sky.
A figure rushed out from the firelight, fell a few meters, and then quickly pulled up again.
This person was naturally none other than Qingming.
Puff~
A mouthful of blood spit out from Qingming's mouth.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at the fireball in the sky with lingering fear.
Just now, he had a close call and almost died in the explosion of the three detonating talismans.
That is, his "Wind Style·Wind Wings" has been upgraded to level 3, and can fly out 30 meters per second, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.
Even so, he was still injured by the shock wave of the explosion.
At this time, he only felt a cramp in his internal organs, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and it was indescribable.
Compared with this, some burns on his body were nothing.
After all, the contact was short and the two sides separated quickly, so there was no serious injury.
Qingming formed seals with his hands and quickly performed the panacea medical ninjutsu - Palm Immortal Technique, which relieved the injuries on his body, and then looked down.
It can be seen that the Mist Ninja in the Feiyu Town stronghold was also very panicked at this time.
Obviously, the attack just now was not rehearsed in advance, and it was also very sudden for them, otherwise they would not react like this.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was caught off guard.
Otherwise, as long as the Mist Ninja below made a slight movement, he would be able to detect it.
At that time, with a vigilant heart, he would not be in such a risk.
However, in a thousand words, he was still not vigilant enough and underestimated the Hidden Mist Village.
Indeed, he had always said that after that night, the Hidden Mist Village would definitely take targeted measures, and the command center also received the corresponding news.
However, from the bottom of his heart, he still did not raise too high a vigilance.
There was no way. From the memory of his previous life, he clearly knew that although the major ninja villages in the ninja world had means to deal with aerial targets, they were really not many.
More, in fact, they could only play a harassing role.
As for those who can actually restrain themselves, there is almost none.
That is why he instinctively relaxed his vigilance.
As a result, he naturally suffered.
It must be said that the Hidden Mist Village taught him a real lesson, letting him know that arrogance is not good at any time.
Retracting all his thoughts, Qingming calmed his mind, looked away from the panicked crowd, and looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from.
It can be seen that there is the top of a building, with three figures on it, struggling to control a crossbow cart.
Obviously, the crossbow arrow just now was fired by it.
At this time, another crossbow arrow was installed on it.
A faint sense of crisis came to his mind, and Qingming immediately became alert.
The next moment, the crossbow arrow flew out, aiming directly at his chest.
However, this time Qingming was prepared, and his Sharingan shrank slightly, and he instantly distinguished the flight trajectory of the crossbow arrow.
Then, he flapped his wings and easily dodged it.
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Three explosions sounded again in succession.
The rolling heat wave blew away Qingming's long hair.
However, this time Qingming was not hurt at all.
However, before Qingming could breathe a sigh of relief, three more crossbow arrows were shot.
Qingming looked carefully and saw that on the top of another building, three crossbow carts were arranged in a "品" shape, and there were nine figures beside them.
Obviously, these three crossbow arrows were shot by them.
However, when he glanced over just now, there was nothing there.
Obviously, the Hidden Mist Village had used some means to cover up these crossbow carts and the people who controlled them.
Faintly, Qingming had some understanding in his heart.
Then, he thought, are there any crossbow carts hidden in other places?
With this thought, Qingming quickly glanced at several other taller buildings, then controlled the chakra wings behind him and flew into the sky.
However, the next moment, several more crossbow arrows were shot.
Qingming looked around and saw that there were indeed crossbow carts in the places he had just scanned.
Then, he flapped his wings, adjusted his flying direction, and avoided the crossbow arrows again.
And this was just the beginning.
Next, a continuous stream of crossbow arrows were fired from the crossbow carts below, either directly shooting at his body or blocking his dodging trajectory.
In short, one by one, they wanted to kill him.
Unfortunately, as he continued to fly upwards, he had more and more time to react.
Correspondingly, the threat these crossbows can bring to him is getting lower and lower.
Boom boom boom~
The detonating symbols exploded in the air, and the fireballs they produced lit up the entire night sky like fireworks.
Qing Ming rushed left and right, and finally got out of the attack range of all the crossbows.
It was only then that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Tonight, although he encountered some dangers, it was considered as a preparation for the subsequent battle.
If it hadn't been for what happened tonight, in the subsequent battle, if he was suddenly attacked by these crossbows, coupled with the attack of the Mist Ninja, he might have been even more dangerous.
It can only be said that Kirigakure is anxious.
However, he can also understand the other party.
After all, his flight altitude was indeed a little low just now, and he was not very vigilant. This was indeed a rare opportunity.
Unfortunately, he reacted too quickly, and in the end he escaped the crisis by relying on his hard power.
'Sure enough, at any time, one's own strength is the most important, so that even if there are some mistakes, there will still be a chance to make amends. ’
Qing Ming once again firmly decided to improve his strength.
Suppressing these thoughts for the time being, Qingming thought, opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and then looked down.
It can be seen that at this time, Kirigakure has stopped attacking, and all the ballistae are exposed.
"One, two, three."
Qing Ming's eyes swept over these ballistas one by one, and he kept mumbling.
In the end, he determined that a total of twenty-one ballistas were deployed in Kirigakure Village.
According to its previous firing speed, with so many crossbow vehicles working at the same time, if there are enough crossbow arrows, almost thirty to forty crossbow arrows can be fired per minute.
In other words, an average of 1.5 to 2 seconds.
If that's all, then it's nothing. As long as the distance is not too close, Qing Ming can basically avoid it with his reflexes.
But the crux of the problem is that these crossbow arrows fly too fast and carry very large kinetic energy, which requires him not to make any mistakes.
Otherwise, if you touch each other, you will die.
This is coupled with the range damage of the detonating talisman.
There is no doubt that it is enough to threaten him.
"After that, you have to be more careful."
Qing Ming thought.
But then, he thought of a question, that is, how did Kirigakure Village transport so many crossbows and crossbow arrows?
You know, it was less than forty-eight hours before he revealed his ability to fly ninjutsu, which happened the night before yesterday.
Even if Kirigakure Village has a deep foundation and has reserves of these things, it is impossible to transport them so quickly. After all, it is not close to Kirigakure Village.
"It's not like the Kirigakure Village is in a state of uncertainty. It can be arranged in advance, right?"
Qing Ming laughed at himself.
etc!
Suddenly, Qing Zen thought that transporting supplies in the ninja world didn't seem to have to be done 'one step at a time'.
For something as important as this, they could have a ninja who was proficient in space ninjutsu seal it into a scroll.
Then, whether you send a ninja to personally escort it or use 'reverse psychic' to cheat, it can be delivered quickly.
And given the size of Kirigakure Village, it shouldn't be difficult to find two ninjas like this.
"Sure enough, we still cannot underestimate the heritage and adaptability of these great ninja villages!"
With a final murmur, Qing Ming ignored the Mist Ninja in the stronghold below and flew directly in the direction of the Black Stone Stronghold.
Tonight, his mission has been completed, and there are additional gains. There is no need to stay any longer.
