I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Machi wasn't too interested in chasing down the rubbish either.

After all, she thought the same as Ogata - they still had important things to do today.

The distance between Tenmanji Temple and the residence of the shogunate researchers is not short, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

What's more, the two of them didn't know the exact size of the shogunate researchers' residence, nor did they know how long it would take to search for materials and intelligence.

The plan of Ogata and the others today is to search the residence of the shogunate researchers thoroughly, and then return to Tenmanji Temple before dark.

If too much time and energy were wasted on those rubbish, it is really not worth it.

A-Ming wiped her wakizashi clean, sheathed it, and began to collect the kunai she just threw.

As for Ogata, he also began to collect the usable knives dropped by the dead prisoners.

These prisoners all carried the rice balls they had received from the government.

But because Ogata and the others had enough food now, Ogata and Atachi didn't bother to take these people's rice balls, adding unnecessary weight.

While picking up the knife, Ogata also opened his system interface to check how much experience he had gained from the battle just now.

In the encounter just now, Ogata only used Sakakibara's one sword style, and only used the breath and step of the source of Wuwo's ​​two swords style to assist, so Wuwo's ​​two swords style did not get much experience.

Because the opponent was too weak, there was no need to pick up the sword, so in the battle just now, Ogata hadn't even used the blade, and he was able to avoid all the attacks of these prisoners just by stepping up.

The personal experience value is 610 points, the experience value of the Sakakibara one-sword style is 550 points, the experience value of the Wugo two-sword style is 180 points, and the sword skill "Dragon Tail" has been successfully promoted to the "intermediate level" after a long period of combat training-this is the result of the battle just now .

Although neither the personal level nor the Sakakibara one-sword style and Wugo two-sword style were able to be upgraded in the previous battle, the results were quite fruitful.

After closing the personal system interface, Ogata couldn't help but sigh:

——These prisoners who can only commit crimes and basically have no experience in martial arts, the experience points they can provide are really small...

The battle just now can be described in one sentence, that is - one knife, one knife.

Even without A-Machi's assistance, Ogata was able to defeat all these guys who only used knives as iron rods without any pressure.

When A-Machi finished collecting her kunai, Ogata had just collected all the usable knives on the ground.

"Ayi..."

Looking at the row of knives tied on Ogata's back, A-Machi couldn't help but smiled wryly:

"Are you really sure you want to bring so many knives?"

Counting the ones stuck on the waist and the ones tied on the back, Ogata now has 8 swords and 10 wakizashi all over his body.

"If it wasn't because carrying too many knives would be too heavy, otherwise I would like to pick up a few more."

After replying to Machi in a half-joking tone, Ogata changed into a more serious tone.

"Knives are consumables. We still don't know much about the current situation of this island, so it is necessary to prepare more weapons."

"It's good that you don't think it's too heavy..." After sighing lightly, Acho Asaogata spread out his right palm, "Give me some of the knives on your back."

"Are you sure? These knives are quite heavy."

"Who do you think I am?" A-Ming said angrily, "I am also a ninja after all, if you carry a few knives for you, I will be more than enough!"

……

……

When Ogata and Atachi finished sorting out the loot and started to go on the road again, the prisoners headed by Shichiemon finally stopped their escape and looked behind them with lingering fear.

After confirming that Ogata and A-Machi did not catch up, they all felt the big stone in their hearts fall, and let out a sigh of relief.

While adjusting his breathing disordered by his desperate escape, Shichiemon also began to count the heads.

Originally, they were a large team of 28 people including Shichiemon.

And now, there are only 12 people left including Shichiemon...

The rest of the people were either killed by Ogata and A-Machi, or got separated when they escaped just now.

Looking at the team whose number has shrunk by more than half, Shichiemon's eyes flashed with annoyance.

If possible, Shichiemon really wanted to kill these guys who couldn't move their legs when they saw a woman.

Thanks to these bastards who don't even have any concentration and self-control, this originally quite large team has now become this miserable appearance.

Shichiemon looked at those people who were just now yelling about what to do to A-Machi with a cold gaze, and now they escaped in a panic by chance, while using a low volume that only he could hear. said in a voice:

"It's really a bunch of trash who can't do enough to make things happen..."

Chapter 201 Glasses and Giants【Thank you, leader Jie, for making an appointment! 】

Shichiemon's principle of dealing with things is "Even if you can't be friends, you should avoid becoming enemies."

When I saw that Ogata and Atachi didn't want to join their team just now, Shichiemon really wanted to get together and break up. Even if he couldn't get those two people into the team, at least he didn't want to have two more enemies come out for no reason.

But in their team there are these guys who have no foresight, can't sell their legs or turn their eyes when they see a beautiful woman.

These guys directly messed up Shichiemon's plan.

And Qiemon couldn't say anything to these guys at the time.

Because Qiweimen is sure—if he dared to reprimand those people who were attacked by the evil fire just now, these guys would definitely kill him without hesitation.

Qiemon knows better than anyone how weak their team's cohesion is.

Everyone just chose to gather under Shichiemon's command to form such a loose organization in order to survive better on this island and to be eligible for pardon.

And he Shichiemon became the leader of these people only because of his eloquence, knowing how to stop, and how to lead.

And his position as leader is actually very empty.

He is not good at fighting, and at the same time, he has no direct descendants around him, and he does not have the energy to say what he says in this team.

In fact, there are indeed many people in this team who are at odds with Shichiemon.

So Shichiemon didn't dare to disobey the opinions and thoughts of most of the team.

Once disobeyed, these people in the team who can only commit crimes can push him down from the position of leader at any time, or even kill him directly.

This also led to the fact that when the group of guys clamored for A-Machi to stay, Shichiemon didn't dare to yell at them, but only dared to stand silently in a far corner.

When these guys were defeated by Ogata and the others, Shichiemon was also the first to run away.

Seeing the team he built with so much painstaking efforts turned into the miserable appearance it is now, Shichiemon was angry and distressed at the same time.

Even taking a lot of deep breaths managed to calm his heart that was beating wildly due to anger and distress.

clap clap!

Shichiemon clapped his hands vigorously twice.

Survivors who are still alive and still have lingering fears are all attracted by the two applause from Shichiemon, and they look at Shichiemon.

"Everyone! Pull yourself together!"

Shichiemon shouted.

"It was just a small accident just now!"

"Although those two people just now are powerful, their existence will not affect our eligibility for pardon!"

"In the future, after we see them both, we can just bypass them!"

"They do their thing, we do ours!"

Shichiemon's speech finally made the faces of these people who are still alive look a little better.

Looking at these people who have become a little more energetic, Shichiemon curled his lips:

——I really want to leave this island as soon as possible, and stay away from this gang of mud that can't support the wall...

Shichiemon felt that his luck was very bad-it was already the third day of landing on the island, and none of them had ever seen what an ogre looked like.

Before even meeting the ogre, their team has been reduced by more than half.

After encouraging the people who were still alive, Shichiemon's mind began to spin rapidly, thinking about the next action plan.

——First of all... we need to replenish the number of people... try to bring in as many powerful people as possible...

——and then began to head toward the depths of the island.

——The reason why we have never encountered ogres may be because we have been active on the periphery of the island... As long as we go deep into the depths of this island, we may be able to encounter some ogres... …

——Anyway, let’s go to the depths of the island now, looking for powerful companions...

rustling...

Shichiemon had just made up a new idea when a burst of footsteps trampling on fallen leaves, flowers and plants suddenly sounded from behind him.

Shichiemon and the others had just narrowly escaped death, and their nerves hadn't completely relaxed yet. Suddenly they heard the sudden sound of footsteps, and their scalps instantly went numb. His eyes followed the prestige.

I saw three figures walking out of a dark forest, walking slowly towards Shichiemon and the others.

Shichiemon, whose heart was beating extremely fast due to nervousness and fright, looked intently at the three people.

One of these three people looks like a "savage" who makes his home in the mountains from the outside.

The clothes on his body were tattered, and his clothes and body were dirty. He was skinny and his face was extremely ugly. It was obvious that he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

This "savage" walked in front of the three people, and seemed to be leading the way for the two people behind him.

And the two people behind him all have impressive appearance characteristics.

One of them was quite tall, with long hair tied in a neat bun, with a delicate face, and a pair of rare glasses that were clearly made in Nanban on the bridge of his nose.

As for the other person... After seeing him for the first time, Shichiemon couldn't help swallowing in shock.

If the "glasses" is just tall, then the other one is simply a giant, reaching an astonishing height of more than 6 feet.

The giant's face was unshaven, and he had neither shaved nor combed his hair in a bun. His long hair was tied up with a rope and dragged in his mind.

A large sword was casually carried on the giant's shoulder.

While Nanaimon and the others were looking at "Glasses" and his group, "Glasses" and his group were also looking at Nanaimon.

"Oh..." "Glasses" raised his eyebrows, "It's been a long time since we landed on the island, and we finally ran into other prisoners. I didn't expect to bump into them, and we bumped into so many prisoners at once."

"Excuse me, can you please get out of the way?"

“Glasses” smiled and said in a very polite tone.

"We're on our way now, and you're blocking my way."

As soon as "Glasses" said this, the prisoners obediently stepped aside after taking a few glances at the tall, visually striking figure of "Giant".

"Thank you."

After thanking Shichiemon and the others casually, "Glasses" waved to the other two beside him, motioning for them to go on.

However——the three of them hadn't had time to take a few steps away when Shichiemon hurriedly stopped them.

"3! Please stay!"

As soon as Shichiemon said this, the three "Glasses" stopped in their tracks.

"Why? We are on our way. If there is anything urgent, please speak quickly."

"Glasses" turned around and cast a cold look at Shichiemon while asking that question.

Under the reflection of the lens, his eyes were a little more elusive.

Chapter 202 The Corpse Upstream

"3! Are you interested in joining us?"

The team has just suffered a heavy blow, and Shichiemon is eager to recruit new companions.

As for the newly joined companions, it would be great if they are strong.

Among the three people, except for the "savage", the other two were carrying knives.

On the left waist of "Glasses", there is a knife and a wakizasa inserted in a regular manner.

The "giant" is carrying a large sword.

Although I don't know how strong the two are, but the tall figure of the "giant" looks very strong.

Therefore, Shichiemon, eager to re-strengthen the team, hastily extended an invitation to the three of them.

However - as soon as he said something, "Glasses" said without any hesitation:

"Sorry, no. We don't want to team up with you."
