"Hmm... For the first step, let's try using those marrow-eating lizards. They love to gnaw on crystallized bone marrow."

Thinking of this, Wang Que patted the Holy Scorpion again and said, "Go and catch me some marrow-eating lizards. If you don't catch any, I won't have anything to eat."

Holy Scorpion:? ?

In the corner, Ibe Saburo was laughing secretly. This kind of work was originally supposed to be his, but now, it seemed that he didn't have to do it anymore.

……

The next day.

Ibe Saburo admitted that he laughed too early.

Compared to the small task of catching the myeloid lizard, his current task is much more difficult.

Following Wang Que's instructions, he left the depths of the Snake Bone Mine and came outside.

The weather on Bayun Island is still complicated today.

After losing the talisman, thunderstorms continued under the influence of the remaining power of the big snake.

However, this was nothing to Ibe Saburo.

Even the continuous thunderstorms brought him a sense of comfort.

But when he thought of Wang Que's instructions, he felt helpless.

Wang Que ordered him to find the Fatui, join them by any means, and then find the place where the Fatui stored or used crystallized bone marrow and report to Wang Que.

For this purpose, Wang Que also made up some complicated stories for him.

It can also be regarded as a patch on the source of his power.

Of course, these are not important.

The important thing is to find the Fatui, which is not a difficult task.

Because Ibe Saburo had been invited by the Fatui before.

But after coming out of the mine, he found that this task was still very difficult.

The reason is very simple. As the war between the shogunate army and the rebels broke out, the talisman was destroyed.

The horrific weather conditions on Bayun Island caused many Fatui to retreat.

Ibe Saburo walked outside for a long time and came across several ruined camps, but he didn't see anyone.

The fools who were everywhere like ants before have disappeared.

"If this continues, I won't be able to complete the task assigned by the adults, right?"

Ibe Saburo had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although Wang Que never hit him again except for the first time they met.

But Ibe Saburo knew in his heart that if he failed to complete the task, this adult might not be so easy to talk to.

So he could only continue moving forward, searching for the Fatui in the thunderstorm.

...

At the narrow entrance of Wuxiang Blade.

A Fatui team is on a mission.

They were escorting a large amount of supplies and a box of gem-like things, and they looked around cautiously.

There were many traces of battle on his body, and it was obvious that his journey had not been peaceful.

As fools, they naturally knew what they were transporting.

I also know how much trouble it will cause if these things are lost.

However, this area is indeed deserted and I have walked through it more than once.

In addition, several attacks had been repelled before, and this place was no longer within the range of those wandering warriors.

So, although they were cautious and vigilant, they had gradually relaxed.

And far away from them, in a patch of grass about two or three hundred meters away.

A dozen or so Ambush were lowering their bodies, greedily looking at the Fatui transport convoy that was gradually approaching.

"It's the fools."

"Ha, so what? This amount of supplies should be enough for us to eat for a while."

"Damn the war. Everyone here has run away. I can't even find a farmer to rob."

"Keep your voice down and wait until they get closer."

The sound in the grass immediately disappeared.

The Fatui transport team slowly approached the grass, and the heavy supply vehicles left deep ruts in the muddy ground.

The leading debt collector raised his hand to signal the team to pause, and glanced around vigilantly - the roar of the thunderstorm concealed the subtle movements, but he always felt that something was lurking in the low grass.

"Something's wrong, be alert."

He whispered to the Fatui soldiers behind him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly broke out from the grass!

"kill--!"

A dozen ambushers pounced out like hungry wolves, their bloodstained samurai swords gleaming coldly under the lightning.

The leading ronin leaped forward and slashed the debt collector's face with his blade!

"Enemy attack!"

The debt collector reacted very quickly, his figure dissipated into black mist, and when he reappeared, he had circled behind the ronin.

The short blade in his hand fiercely stabbed at the opponent's back. But the nobushi had obviously coordinated, and another nobushi blocked it with his sword, and the blades collided, splashing dazzling sparks.

The Lady Hidden Mirror immediately unfolded her ice mirror and tried to freeze the attacker, but two ambushers simultaneously threw smoke bombs to block their sight.

It also covered the musket guerrillas.

"Bang!" Amidst the thick smoke, the bullet of the guerrilla soldier with a musket missed the target, passed by an ambush soldier, and shattered a rock behind him.

Seeing that all his people were entangled.

The debt collector roared, "Don't let them get near the goods!"

But the ambush crowd had split into two groups: six people entangled the debt collector, the lady with hidden mirror and the musketeer, while the rest rushed towards the supply vehicle frantically.

Next to the supply vehicle, there was only a Thunder Hammer and a Wind Fist Soldier.

Originally, their team also included Ice Fat, Water Fat and Rock Mage.

However, during the previous transportation, there were several battles and many casualties occurred.

However, in order not to delay the transportation of supplies, they could not bring the wounded with them, so they always traveled light.

This also resulted in them being delayed for a while when facing the attack of more than a dozen wild ambushes.

At this moment, a burly Nobuko ignored the supply bags beside him, opened the lid of the box in the center, grabbed a handful of crystals and laughed wildly: "It really is crystallized bone marrow! I'm rich!"

It was clearly the origin of the product, Bayun Island, but the crystallized bone marrow was transported in from outside. Ye Fuzhong naturally knew the relationship between them.

There must be someone high up in the shogunate who sold the crystallized bone marrow to these fools.

But! They are the Nobushi, and the corruption of the shogunate high-ranking officials is none of their business.

For them, grabbing these things would mean making a fortune. Together with other supplies, it would be enough for them to live a carefree life for a while.

In the chaos, no one noticed a figure approaching quietly.

Ibe Saburo was crawling on the edge of the rock wall with his pupils constricted.

He had just come here following the sound of fighting, but accidentally stumbled upon the fight.

What made his heart beat even faster was that the boxes escorted by the Fatui were filled with crystallized bone marrow!

What a coincidence!

He immediately thought, if he could help the Fatui repel the attack, he should be able to join them, right?

As for the people hiding in the wild?

Saburo Ibe did not regard these wandering samurai as his own kind.

His Ibe family is an orthodox samurai family!

Although it has fallen on hard times, it is not something that the common people can target.

As for the orthodox warriors wanting to help the fools?

Ha, don’t worry about the master’s mission.

Chapter 261 A Fabricated Story

Deploy half of the manpower to hold back the fools.

On the other side, the Yefu group had already pulled up the supply truck.

Just as the Yefu people were about to pull the vehicle, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck in front of the convoy.

Amidst the flying gravel, the figure of Ibe Saburo appeared like a ghost—the snake scale pattern on his neck glowed with an eerie purple light in the thunderstorm, and when the five fingers of his right hand were spread out, arcs of electricity actually jumped between his fingers.

"Put your stuff down."

His deep voice was mixed with a hissing noise, making it a little unclear.

The noboru crowd was stunned at first, but when they saw that the person coming was alone, the burly warrior in the lead suddenly laughed sinisterly: "Where did this bastard come from? Get out of here!"

Although Ibe Saburo had already changed into the samurai attire belonging to Kairanki.

But he is only one person after all.

And they have nearly ten people in hiding.

A group of savages cannot defeat a group of sea demons.

But ten yafu people can chop a sea devil into minced meat.

As he spoke, he raised the sword that was still dripping with blood, and the smell of gunpowder remaining on the blade filled the air.

This is because he often uses gunpowder.

Upon hearing this, Jingbian Saburo's pupils suddenly shrank.

The next moment, his figure turned into lightning and rushed forward. Before the ambushers could react, his palm wrapped in lightning had pierced through the chest of the burly warrior.

When the arm was pulled out, what came out was not blood, but a blood-red heart.

It was even beating unconsciously.

He didn't seem to feel that he was being pulled out.

Such a bloody scene, coupled with the vertical pupils in Ibe Saburo's eyes, shocked the people around him.

"Weird. Monster!"

The nearest ambushers retreated in fear, only to see Ibe Saburo stretch out his hand, lightning leaped, and bolts of lightning shot out.

The noboru people who were hit by the lightning fell to the ground and twitched.

A burnt smell came out.

Electric numbness is a condition that occurs when a person is electro-numbed.

The Nobushi here were attacked, and the Nobushi who had stayed on the other side to delay the Fatui were suddenly startled.

The debt collector took the opportunity to break free and immediately shouted, "It's our friendly forces! Get rid of these bandits first!"

Although he didn't know where this guy dressed as a sea ghost came from.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The morale of the fools was boosted, and they actually suppressed the larger number of wild ambush people.

On the other side, the remaining Nobushi in front of Ibe Saburo still wanted to resist, but Ibe Saburo's speed was beyond common sense.

Every time he flashed, there would be a roar of thunderstorm, and the air where his fingertips passed would leave a trail of lightning.
