Immediately after the explosion, everyone in the mansion was awakened.

The raging fire spread to all directions. This scene was so terrifying that even the first thing the guards thought of was to run away.

But faced with the duties he had performed, he still ran to the well as soon as possible, started storing water in a wooden barrel, and ran to the fire location to put out the fire.

However, the raging fire was unstoppable, flying everywhere with the wind, devouring everything without restraint.

If a fire breaks out at this time, it is obviously man-made.

Natural fires cannot become so fierce in a short period of time.

Moreover, in such an important place as the daimyo's mansion, even the servants working late at night would not be able to make such a careless mistake.

Moreover, Chou Niu and Red Shadow both knew what caused the initial explosion.

The sound of the detonator exploding.

The root cause of the fire was that someone used a detonator to detonate a flammable area in the daimyo's mansion, causing the fire to spread rapidly in an instant and became unstoppable.

A premeditated attack is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing, and it comes at a critical moment in the expansion plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

This matter must be stopped.

"Leave this place to me, and you can go and protect the Daimyo of the Bear Country."

No matter what Akekage's mission is at the moment, for the Kingdom of Demons, the life safety of the Daimyo of the Bear Kingdom is undoubtedly the top priority.

The Ghost Country needs the official name of the Bear Country to complete a series of expansion plans in the Bear Country.

The great name of the Bear Country is one of the key candidates.

If something unexpected happens to him, the Ghost Country's plans in the Bear Country will have to be put on hold for a few more years.

Moreover, the sons of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Bears are all mediocre and inactive people, and the Kingdom of Ghosts does not need such mediocre and inactive daimyo.

They need an ambitious name.

Chi Ying nodded seriously and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly his body stiffened and he looked somewhere gloomily.

"What's wrong?"

Chou Niu saw the strange expression on Chi Ying's face and asked quickly.

"My shadow clone disappeared."

After hearing this, Chou Niu's face changed slightly.

The shadow clone technique is different from ordinary clone techniques, and is also slightly different from basic escape techniques.

The shadow clone is a physical clone with consciousness independent of the main body and a certain resistance to strikes determined by the practitioner.

Whether the shadow clone is actively released or the shadow clone is passively released, the memories experienced by the shadow clone will be fed back to the main body.

Therefore, shadow clones are often used as key ninjutsu to collect intelligence.

This ninjutsu was developed by Konoha's second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, and it was originally used for espionage.

Only chunin and jounin can master this high-level ninjutsu.

Akei is a hidden weapon placed by the Demon Country's military inside the Bear Country, so he naturally learned this ninjutsu to facilitate espionage work.

When he came into contact with Chou Niu, he created a shadow clone to protect the safety of Princess Zhuji.

The disappearance of his shadow clone was not caused by the initiative, but by the enemy's attack and encounter.

This also means that there is a problem on Princess Zhuji's side.

This is the reason why Chiying's face is gloomy.

Chou Niu also understood this, quickly calmed down, and decisively changed his decision, saying to Akei: "I will take care of the Daimyo of the Bear Country, and you go and rescue Princess Zhuji. Be careful, you can

The shadow clone that defeats you will not be a simple ninja."

Red Shadow nodded and disappeared from the place.

Based on the memory transmitted back when the shadow clone was released from the attack, Red Shadow could determine the direction in which the enemy escaped after abducting Princess Zhuji.

Looking at the direction in which Chiying left, Chou Niu's honest and honest face seemed a little helpless.

He sighed and murmured in a low voice: "That princess is really in trouble. Is this the trouble of being a peerless beauty?"

But it makes sense to think about it. The woman with a bounty of 65 million taels on the underground black market is a rare target of a high bounty, and she is one of the few designated living people.

As long as any bounty hunter completes this business, he or she will be able to live without worries for the rest of his life. At least he will be free and easy for a long time without having to work hard for a living.

"No wonder the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Bears asked Akei to protect her. If such an important 'treasure' is not sold for a good price, it would not be worth her price."

The life of aristocrats does not seem to be as beautiful as imagined.

There are both the glamorous ones and the ugly and greedy ones.

In other words, this time someone planned to attack the daimyo's mansion, and it was also the tragedy caused by Princess Suhime.

This is also the reason why Chou Niu said that the princess was in "a lot of trouble".

If the princess cannot be rescued, Akei will lose the trust of the Daimyo of the Bear Country. For Akei, the princess is related to his important mission and is something more important than his own life.

Ugly Ox believed that Red Shadow's ability was enough to deal with everything there, so he moved towards the location of the Daimyo of the Bear Country with peace of mind.

Princess Zhuji cannot be lost, but the name of the Bear Country is equally important.

"That idiot princess!"

In the process of running and chasing, Chiying cursed like this in a low voice more than once.

Sure enough, women would only affect his efficiency in completing tasks and cause him such meaningless trouble.

Just because he has a cute face, the bounty hunter in the underground black market is so persistent. This kind of will will not move Akei, but just make him bored.

No matter when, such bounty hunters who risk their lives for money are extremely difficult to deal with.

Although the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts has also deployed a secret team in the underground black market, the underground black market is so huge and has connections with daimyo and nobles from all over the world.

The network of relationships is so intricate that it is impossible to unplug it.

No matter how much you yell and curse, it can't change the fact that that stupid princess was kidnapped again.

If he can't bring that woman back, then he will have a lot of fun here.

The failure of my mission is a small matter, but if it affects the complete layout of that adult, even death will not be enough to apologize.

"In that direction?"

Although the footprints on the road were very hidden, Chi Ying still discovered them carefully.

Continue to follow the enemy's trail.

This is already outside the capital of the Bear Country, and the huge city that serves as the background has become lively due to the sudden fire.

The Daimyo of the Bear Country must have lost his temper there.

Not only was the mansion attacked, but his most cherished daughter was kidnapped again.

Therefore, rescuing Princess Zhuji as soon as possible is a task that must be completed by Akei.

The wind is roaring.

A large amount of sand and dust was rolled up in the night, and it hit Chiying's body and face hard.

This is a wilderness with severe desertification.

The country of bears is a small resource-scarce country with little vegetation.

There will also be parts of desert in areas close to the Kingdom of Wind.

Surrounding the Bear Country, there is a circular canyon that extends to the ground, surrounding the territory of the Bear Country.

That is the natural barrier used to protect the country of bears - Hell Valley.

It is said that in ancient times, wars often broke out in the country of bears, and people did not cremate the bodies but randomly discarded them in the lower parts of the valley.

The large number of corpses at the bottom of the valley mixed with chakra from nature to form a poisonous gas that is harmful to the human body.

Therefore, the circular canyon surrounding the Bear Country is also called Hell Valley.

The direction that Red Shadow is pursuing now is approaching the Hell Valley in the south.

Passing through Hell Valley in the south is the desert border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The sand and gravel severely worn by the storm have further protruded from the ground.

The resistance of the storm is also increasing.

After chasing Chi Ying for three consecutive hours, although his body did not feel tired, his heart became a little impatient.

The further we go, the enemy's footprints become fainter and fainter, being covered up by the wind and sand.

For a long time, Chiying had to stay and carefully survey the enemy's footprints to determine his location.

There are also many inducement traps.

The bounty hunter who kidnapped Princess Zhuji was not alone, but committed the crime in a gang.
