I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"How do you want me to retaliate against you?" Ogata turned his head and glanced at Zong Hai, "Cut you half to death with one knife?"

"You are afraid that other people will disturb your life and your teacher's life, but choose to hide the problem of the water of the Linon River from all the islanders. I don't make any comments."

"Even if you really want to punish you, the islanders of this island should punish you, not me."

"And...you've been secretly regretting your selfishness all this time, haven't you?"

"A person with a hard heart who only cares about himself and wants to be alone will not distribute a precious medicine to save a stranger who has been poisoned by the 'immortality poison'."

"At the same time, another prisoner will not be admitted as a fellow student."

"Not to mention that after encountering a man and a woman in distress, they will rescue them in time and provide the man and woman with shelter, food, and drinking water."

"Instead of waiting here to be punished by me, it's better to think about whether there are any remedial measures."

After finishing speaking, Ogata stopped talking and walked straight to the outside of Tenmanji Temple.

Atachi, Mamiya, and Makimura looked at each other for a while, then followed closely behind.

As for Matsumoto - he looked at Zonghai and Xianhai, and then at Ogata and others who had gone away.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the back of Ogata and the others.

At the gate of Tenmanji Temple, only Zonghai and Xianhai remained.

Looking at the backs of Ogata and the others getting smaller and smaller, Zong Hai looked thoughtful.

After a while, Zong Hai let out a few chuckles:

"Scared to death..." Zong Hai said to Xianhai beside him in a half-joking tone, "I really did a good job just now, because I was hiding important things from all the benefactors, I was hacked to death by the angry benefactor Ogata I'm getting ready... I feel like I've saved my life..."

"Master Zonghai, you didn't do anything wrong!" Xianhai said unconvinced, "You are also a victim of this 'Ogre Rebellion'! The person who really did a big mistake should be He Shi, He Zhi, these two doctors! These two people must be the culprit of everything!"

Zong Hai didn't go to answer Xian Hai's words, but continued to stare at the backs of Ogata and the others.

Looking at the backs of Ogata and others that were about to disappear from the field of vision, Zong Hai said softly:

"Remedial...measures..."

……

……

"Hey, Brother Matsumoto." Mucun grabbed the shoulder of Matsumoto who was following, and said in a half-joking tone, "Why did you follow?"

"Of course I have to follow..." Matsumoto said in a helpless tone, "After listening to what Zonghai said just now, how dare I stay alone in this kind of person's territory..."

"Hahahaha!" Mucun laughed heartily a few times, "That's right."

"I'm just a helpless doctor." Matsumoto said hesitantly, "I'll ask you to take care of me along the way... If you are injured, I can help you heal."

"Don't worry." Mucun tightened his grip on Matsumoto's shoulders, "I am the best at protecting others!"

When Makimura and Matsumoto were enthusiastically "you and me", Mamiya, who was walking beside Ogata, murmured:

"I didn't expect that Zong Hai to hide so many things..."

"Hey..." Ogata turned his head and cast a helpless look at Mamiya next to him, "I should have told you the information I know yesterday? Didn't you discover the Linong River by yourself?" Is there a problem with the water in the river?"

After finishing the exploration of the shogunate researchers' residence yesterday and leading Mamiya and the others to Tenmanji Temple, Ogata, Mamiya and the others have already exchanged all the important information about the island that they currently know. .

For example, there is a water well in Tenmanji Temple, and Zonghai's mentor did not become a cannibal after his death-this important information was all told to Mamiya by Ogata on the way back to Tenmanji Temple.

"I'm confused..." Jiangong smiled wryly, "For a while, I really didn't think about the water source..."

"Ayi, since you have already noticed Zong Hai's problem, why didn't you tell us in advance?" A Ding said angrily.

"Because I want to give Zong Hai some face." Ogata sighed softly, "If he is willing to tell the truth that he concealed on his own initiative, I will pretend that he lied to us never happened... such a pity……"

After finishing speaking, Ogata held the knife on his waist.

"Okay, let's stop this topic." Ogata said solemnly, "Let's work hard and hurry up to reach Fenghe Village before dark!"

……

……

At this moment, somewhere on the island——

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shichiemon greedily sucked every ounce of air into his stomach.

Even though his legs were already weak and aching, he still ran forward desperately under the influence of his desire to survive.

Next to Shichiemon were his other companions.

Behind Shichiemon is the ogre who is chasing after him.

After being wiped out by Ogata and Atachi in half, Shichiemon led the remaining companions to the center of the island while looking for new companions who could be brought under his command.

Find more new companions, finally successfully meet the conditions of pardon, leave the island and restore freedom smoothly - this is the ideal scenario in Qiemon's mind.

However—just what happened just now brought the most ideal scenario in Shichiemon's mind to the brink of shattering.

What they encountered just now was—they encountered a large group of ogres.

This was the first time that Shichiemon and others, who had been wandering around the edge of the island since landing on the island, encountered an ogre.

And their end, of course, was that all their fighting spirit and morale were instantly torn apart by the unkillable ogre.

Then there was the scene where Shichiemon and his companions began to flee desperately.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

This was already the first time Shichiemon heard the screams of his companions behind him.

But Shichiemon didn't even have the courage and energy to turn around and take a look.

Shichiemon has long since neglected his companions, and now he just wants to escape from here and escape from these ogres.

It's a pity - Shichiemon, whose physical strength is not very outstanding, even though he has exhausted all the strength in his body, there is still no way to make himself faster.

Not only was there no way to go faster, but because his physical strength and strength were about to be exhausted, Shichiemon could only hear the footsteps behind him getting closer...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!'

at this time--

"Hey! You guys!"

A strange male voice suddenly sounded in front of Shichiemon and the others.

After following the sound and looking forward, Shichiemon was surprised to find—a lot of people gathered in front of them—people!

A real person, not a purple-eyed, expressionless ogre.

Shichiemon made a rough count, and there were 16 people in total.

The leader of this group was of medium height, with a large vertical scar on his face, and was wearing a special black suit, with a kimono with narrow sleeves on his upper body and a slightly tight-fitting hakama on his lower body.

"Come to us!" The black-clothed man in a special black suit shouted at Shichiemon and the others, "We will help you stop these ogres!"

Hearing the words of the man in black, Shichiemon's first reaction was - true or false.

But now that his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he couldn't care less about it anymore. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the crowd in front of him.

After Qiemon and the few remaining companions beside him rushed over, the man in black waved his hand, and nearly half of the people around him immediately turned towards the group of ogres who were chasing and killing Qiemon and others. rush away.

——Is it possible that this group of people has a way to kill these monsters? !

Shichiemon shouted in surprise in his heart, and hurriedly watched the battle between the man in black and the others.

After watching the battle carefully from the sidelines, Shichiemon discovered that these people did not kill these ogres at all.

Instead, they were divided into several groups, and used the group as a unit to deal with those ogres.

They first killed the ogre, diverted the ogre's attention to themselves, made the ogre chase them, and then led the ogre to another direction.

"Are your companions... all right?" Shichiemon couldn't help but muttered.

"No problem." The man in black standing next to Qiweimen said casually, "They are fast and experienced. What's more, the trees in this place are lush, and they can easily kill the cannibals. Ghost off."

Chapter 217 Prisoners who took root on the island

"Huh..." The man in black let out a long breath, "It's a good thing that there aren't many ogres chasing you. If there are too many, there's nothing we can do to help you."

"Thank you very much for your help!"

Shichiemon, who only felt that he had recovered his life, hurriedly thanked the man in black and the others with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

Those who also rushed to thank him, as well as Shichiemon's companions.

Under the pursuit of those ogres just now, there are only four people left who successfully followed Shichiemon.

The man in black reacted flatly to the thanks of these people headed by Shichiemon.

"Hmph, that's it." The man in black smiled, "Are you very grateful to us?"

The tone of the man in black was very strange.

Hearing the difference in the tone of the man in black, Shichiemon was about to say something when he saw the man in black wave his hand. Those who had helped them stop the ogre immediately raised their weapons, Surrounded Shichiemon and others.

"Wait, wait!" Panicked Shichiemon hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't plan to do anything." The man in black shrugged. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sotaro, and I'm a ninja."

"Are you the fourth batch of prisoners to land on the island?"

"We are all the prisoners who landed on the island in the first few batches. From a certain point of view, we are your predecessors."

"The first few batches... people who landed on the island?" Shichiemon's face showed a look of astonishment.

"Aren't you surprised?" Shichiemon, who called himself Sotaro, sneered, "Did you not expect that so many prisoners who landed on the island in the first few batches are still alive?"

"Then let me tell you one more thing by the way—I am the first person to land on the island. I have lived on this island for a long time."

"Our assistance just now is not free."

"We saved your lives, and you gave us yours—that's fair, am I right?"

"You, what are you going to ask us to do?" Although he tried his best and pretended to be calm, Shichiemon's voice was still slightly trembling with fear and nervousness.

"Don't be nervous!" Sotaro patted Shichiemon's shoulder affectionately, "We won't do anything to you, what we ask you to do is actually beneficial to you."

"We have only one request of you - to join us."

Soutaro opened his arms towards Shichiemon.

"The reason why those of us have survived to this day is because of unity, mutual help and mutual cooperation."

"We are now gathering as many forces as possible."

"After you guys join us, apart from having less freedom, you will be able to get the most scarce thing on this island—safety!"

"Then—" Sotaro said with a smile, "What is your choice?"

Shichiemon glanced at the dangling swords around him, and cursed secretly in his heart:

- What is our choice!

—Is there still a choice? !

——If we dare to say the word 'no', we will definitely kill us without hesitation!

Although Shichiemon has scolded in his heart, his appearance is completely opposite to his heart.

Shichiemon nodded and bowed to Soutaro with a smile on his face, and then said respectfully:

"I'll join! Please let me join! I've always wanted to join such a big team! I've had enough of this life of fear!"

After Shichiemon took the lead in expressing his opinion, the rest of the companions around Shichiemon also rushed to express their willingness to join.

Looking at Shichiemon and others who "voluntarily" joined, Sotaro smiled happily:

"That's right! Then——I'll take you back to our base camp first, and let you meet our boss first!"

……

……

"Dead, dead end?!"

On the rainy night on the first day of landing on the island, Heijuro, the thief who was invited by Nanaimon to join his team, escaped from the pursuit of ogres, and unfortunately went away with Nanaimon and others. scattered.

What's more unfortunate is that it's okay to get separated, and there are 2 ogres chasing him.
