The next day, early morning.

The continuous drizzle still did not stop, the weather was still so gloomy, and the glimmer in the sky became a little dimmed.

At this time, less than eight hours had passed since the battle last night, and Rollin's men had fourteen skeleton warriors.

Among them, 1 has the potential of ★★, 2 has the potential of ★★, and the remaining 11 have the potential of ★★.

It can be clearly seen that after the level of "Skeleton Summoning" has been increased to lv6, the potential of the summoned skeleton warriors is generally higher than before.

In this way, when they evolved into Skeleton Warriors, the possibility of further further development is even greater, and this is the effect Rollin wants.

In addition to these fourteen skeleton warriors, Rollin summoned twenty-one zombies last night. The materials used were average, and only one of them had the potential reached ★★☆, and the rest were ★★ and ★☆.

In addition, in the previous battle, the bodies of five Iwa Ninjas were seriously damaged and could not be used to summon zombies, so now there are seven corpses that have not been converted.

It was not that Rollin deliberately left them, but that his mana has been exhausted and he is now working overtime to recover from meditation.

······

Just as Rollin was ‘mediating’, a group of uninvited guests suddenly came outside.

They were wearing Iwaken Village vests, and the forehead guards on their heads were also the symbol of Iwaken Village. It was obvious that they were a team of Iwaken Village ninjas.

Their number is seventeen, and they are divided into four teams during the march, which is the standard configuration of the major ninja villages.

For such a team, the highest commander is the team leader, and there are four small team leaders, or four squad leaders, and the rest are ordinary team members.

During battle, the lower ninja must obey the orders of the superior ninja, otherwise it will violate the wartime regulations. In severe cases, they may be treated as rebel ninjas.

In this case, it is okay to meet a leader with a better personality, but if you encounter someone who is worse, you will let your men go to the thunder with a disagreement, and the mortality rate is terrifying.

Just like now, Akishi Keiichi suddenly stopped, raised his right fist, and signaled everyone to stop.

Then, he squatted down on his own, stared at the dense footprints on the ground, and asked in confusion: "Is this...human?"

While speaking, Akashi Keiichi gestured a few times with his hands beside his footprints, and finally confirmed that these footprints were indeed left by humans, but they seemed to have less flesh and blood.

Although the conclusion is ridiculous, Keiichi Akashi believes in his own judgment. He is proficient in the structure of the human body and knows that this is the trace left by the bones of the soles of the feet.

It would be okay if it was one or two, but looking around, there were all these footprints around, and there were some differences between them, as if they were left by many people, which was a bit strange.

"There is probably something happened here to be so close to the stronghold."

Thinking of this, Akashi Kai looked back at someone and said, "Kanto, immediately take your team and confirm the situation in the stronghold."

Kento Yamada had just seen the traces on the ground, so he naturally knew that the situation was strange, but the captain's order could not tolerate him.

So, he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Yes, captain."

After saying that, he led his three subordinates to the front.

No one noticed that in the dark corner in the distance, a figure carrying a long sword had already left first.

······

Soon, the four Yamada team came outside the village. With just a glance, the few people stopped at the same time.

"This, this..."

The four of them looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. One of them murmured for a long time, but did not say a complete sentence.

Wherever they looked, they were covered with white bones. With the village as the center, a radius of 100 meters was covered with pale human-shaped skeletons.

They just lie on the ground in a row, unable to see any breath of life.

Fortunately, the ninjas generally have strong ability to accept, so after calming down, Kento Yamada issued an order: "Go, keep moving forward...be careful, don't touch them."

“Yes.” × 3

Then, the four of them walked carefully among the bone skeletons, and while carefully examining everything around them, they slowly approached the village.

At a distance of only 100 meters, they actually walked for more than a minute. When they approached the village, they found that there were obvious signs of fighting here.

This is not the first time they have come to this stronghold. Although it was an abandoned village before, there are still some relatively intact buildings inside.

However, now, let alone buildings here, even the ruins seem to have been plowed several times.

Of course, this was done by zombies and pigs. They rushed around the village before, and I don’t know how many buildings they had smashed and crushed.

When they entered the village, Yamada and others immediately discovered an abnormality - there were no skeletons here.

After carefully examining the traces on the ground, the footprints of the skeleton still existed, and it was even more fresh. It seemed that a skeleton had just passed by not long ago.

"Is there a moving skeleton nearby?"

Realizing this, Kento Yamada immediately made a gesture to signal everyone to be careful.

However, after a long time, they didn't see any skeleton, but they encountered many strange footprints.

A team member pointed to the huge hoof prints on the side and whispered: "What do you think is this left behind?"

They relaxed a little while without discovering the enemy, and at least they dared to discuss in a low voice. The situation was unclear before, and they only dared to communicate through gestures.

Hearing this, another person replied, "It should be a pig's trotter."

"Well, I think it's like it," another person echoed, "It's just that this hoof seal is too big!"

"No need to guess, the Lord is there."

Suddenly, Yamada Kento's voice came into the ears of the three.

The three of them walked a few steps quickly, avoiding the ruins, looking at the direction Yamada Kento pointed, and their eyes suddenly shrank.

Not far away, two wild boars, like hills, were lying on the ground. Compared to them, the zombies and tigers on the side seemed much petite.

After holding their breath for several seconds, the few people then let out a gentle breath, "Are they alive or dead?"

"I can't feel the breath of life, but they give me a vague feeling of danger, but it's not very strong." said one person.

The other person also echoed: "It is true that there is no breath of life, and I have not felt a fatal threat."

Of course they couldn't feel much threat, because both zombies, pigs, and zombies, tigers had been forced to hibernate by Rollin, which was not much different from dead objects.

Even, they can feel threats because they are ninjas and have a far superior premonition of danger. Otherwise, any ordinary person would only treat them as corpses when they see them.

"Where is the ninja stationed here?" Someone asked everyone's doubts.

Along the way, they found a lot of traces of fighting, but not to mention living people, even if they didn’t see a single body, how could they not be confused?

"Those who are dead may have become those bones outside. As for those who are alive, they may hide in the stronghold." Someone guessed.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the zombie pig, where the entrance to the stronghold was, but unfortunately it was blocked.

"Then...we still need to get closer?" asked one person.

Kento Yamada pondered for a moment and said, "Even if we get closer, it will be difficult for them to move in a short period of time. Retreat first and tell Captain Akashi about the situation here."

Upon hearing this, the three subordinates all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation in front of them is so strange that they naturally don’t want to explore it anymore. Even if they want to continue exploring, they have to gather more people, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure safety.

Somewhere underground, Rollin looked at the four red dots that were gradually moving away in his mind and muttered: "I hope I won't scare them away."
