Chapter 548: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang Doesn't Know, What Should We Do

Land of Wind, desert area.

Yellow sand raged. Su Xiao and his four companions had already left the Sand Ninja Village area.

The reason it was five people was because there was an extra captive and a Sand Ninja in the squad. The Sand Ninja was Yura, Sasori's spy.

At this moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was carrying the half-dead Gaara. Gaara's breathing was becoming weaker and weaker, and the Shukaku within his body was also wilted.

"This guy won't die, will he?"

Deidara's hand reached toward Gaara's neck to check if Gaara still had a pulse.

"The attack was too heavy, Bai Ye."

Sasori also felt Gaara was about to hang up.

Su Xiao signaled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to stop. To be honest, he also felt Gaara would die on the road; the Devouring Core was simply too ferocious.

Hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took out a bottle of Primary Alchemy Secret Medicine. This thing had a lower production cost and restored less health.

He didn't know if the potion certified by Reincarnation Paradise was effective on plot characters, but now he could only try it out.

Opening the bottle of Primary Alchemy Secret Medicine, Su Xiao took out a syringe, drew the medicine into the syringe, and then performed an intravenous injection on Gaara. At this time, Gaara couldn't drink the medicine, so this was the only way.

The medicine was injected into Gaara's body, and Gaara's body suddenly twitched. Su Xiao immediately gripped Gaara's throat.

A dozen seconds later, Gaara's breathing became steadier, unlike the gasping for breath it was before.

"This way he won't die for now."

Su Xiao threw away the syringe in his hand. The experiment proved that the potion certified by the Paradise was effective on plot characters.

"You also know medical ninjutsu?"

Deidara was a bit surprised.

"Slightly."

After the injection, Gaara, who was in a coma, slowly woke up. He was tightly wrapped by the World Severing Line, and with his current weak body, he couldn't resist.

Not bothering with Gaara, Su Xiao walked to Yura's side, patted Yura on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"You helped a lot when infiltrating the Sand Ninja Village before."

Hearing Su Xiao's praise, Yura smiled politely.

"Lord Bai Ye is too kind, this is my duty."

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, a dagger slid out of Su Xiao's sleeve, and a white light flashed before Yura's eyes.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed onto the yellow sand. Yura's eyes widened in anger, and a very deep cut appeared on his throat.

Yura covered his throat with both hands, blood spraying from between his fingers. His figure staggered, and a gurgling sound came from the wound.

"Why, why."

Yura didn't understand. He was clearly Sasori's subordinate, yet this man had cut his throat.

Yura staggered back two steps, looking toward Sasori for help.

"Sasori... Lord Sasori, save me."

But after Yura saw Sasori, he was completely desperate. Hiruko remained motionless.

"The vitality is truly tenacious."

Discovering that Yura wouldn't die in a short time, Su Xiao walked up and slashed his neck again. This time Yura fell to the ground, kicked his legs, and knelt~

Su Xiao took out a piece of white cloth to wipe the blood off his hands.

There was one strange thing: killing Yura didn't trigger a kill notification. This situation wasn't the first time; there were no kill notifications when killing Sand Ninjas before either.

Not only were there no kill notifications, but killing enemies also didn't reward World Origin.

Su Xiao immediately consulted Reincarnation Paradise, and Reincarnation Paradise gave an explanation.

【Hunter is participating in a large-scale plot event (One-Tail Capture Battle), rewards will be issued uniformly after the event ends.】

Su Xiao understood what was going on. It turned out that capturing the One-Tail was a plot event. He hadn't expected to run into such a good thing.

Plot events are rare and can be compared to war missions, with rewards issued after the final tally.

Su Xiao consulted when the plot event would end. He had already successfully captured the One-Tail, and Reincarnation Paradise's reply was: shake off all pursuers.

This time Su Xiao had a clear goal. He thought capturing the Jinchuriki would be enough, but now it seemed capturing the Jinchuriki was just the beginning.

If it were Su Xiao before capturing the Jinchuriki, perhaps he would have been unable to deal with the current situation, but now it was different. The Lv. 20 Green Qing Qing Gang Ying had undergone a qualitative change! Even if Kakashi or Chiyo fought him, he would have the power to fight. The new ability that appeared after Green Qing Qing Gang Ying Lv. 20 very well compensated for one of his shortcomings.

Gaara witnessed the entire scene of Su Xiao killing Yura. At this moment, Gaara clearly realized that his life would not last long. Such a ruthless enemy wouldn't give him a single chance.

"The Jinchuriki is awake."

Deidara looked at Gaara lazily. The previous battle had made him somewhat fatigued, and he was also injured.

"Cut off the limbs, as long as he doesn't die."

Sasori controlled Hiruko to step forward.

"Wait, cutting off the limbs should kill him."

Su Xiao stopped Sasori. Gaara secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to have his limbs cut off either.

Gaara had just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a slight stinging pain in his spine, followed by a warm sensation, and finally numbness.

"This way there will be no problem."

Su Xiao threw away the syringe in his hand. Gaara had been injected with an anesthetic, a dose sufficient to anesthetize a rhinoceros.

"Where is our destination?"

Only Sasori knew the gathering point among the three.

"Land of Rivers, Valley of Flowing Rivers..."

Sasori stopped halfway through his sentence, turning his head to look behind. Su Xiao and Deidara did the same.

"Oh~, still have the strength to pursue after taking C18."

Deidara sneered lightly. He hadn't expected the Sand Ninjas to be so tenacious.

"Leave it to me. We'll meet in the Land of Rivers later."

Sasori stood still, while Su Xiao and Deidara turned and walked toward the outside of the desert. At this time, they had already reached the edge of the desert.

Su Xiao and his companion were responsible for capturing the Jinchuriki, while Sasori was responsible for the rear guard. This was something they had agreed upon beforehand.

Su Xiao and Deidara walked on foot. One day later, the two arrived in the Land of Rivers and waited at a temporary Akatsuki stronghold in the Land of Rivers.

Rather than saying this was a temporary stronghold, it was actually just a few large rocks.

"Sasori-brother is a bit slow, this is rare. Could it be..."

Deidara suspected Sasori had already hung up. Su Xiao sat on a giant rock smoking, not saying a word.

Click, clack. The sound of hard wood rubbing came.

"Pursuers resolved? It seems the Sand Ninja Village dispatched quite a few people."

Su Xiao flicked away the cigarette butt between his fingers. It was Sasori who had arrived.

At this moment, Hiruko was covered in scars, and the Akatsuki windbreaker was somewhat tattered.

"The Sand Ninja Village almost dispatched their entire force."

Learning of this result, Su Xiao wasn't surprised at all. After that kind of thing happened, it would be strange if the Sand Ninja Village wasn't provoked.

"They will continue to pursue. We must hurry."

The three continued on their way. Not long after, a turbulent river blocked the path of the three.

On both sides of the river were dark red rock walls. On the opposite rock wall was a frame built of red rock, and on the rock wall behind the frame was the character 'Forbidden'.

Deidara and Sasori jumped down from the rock wall and stepped on the water surface. Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the riverbank looked at each other.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's gaze clearly said: 'Master, what should we do? Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang knows how to swim, but treading water is impossible. Would it be a bit shameful to swim across?'

Su Xiao also didn't know how to tread water. If he jumped into the water now, he would be exposed; he didn't have the energy called chakra in his body at all.

It was true that Reincarnation Paradise could disguise his abilities, but things that were too obvious couldn't be erased and required him to think of a way himself.

It was simply a fantasy that a 'ninja' like Su Xiao, who could capture the One-Tail, wouldn't know how to tread water.

Rumble.

The rock wall on the opposite side of the river opened, and a pitch-black cave appeared.

Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang leaped at the same time, jumping over the river and landing on the flat ground in front of the cave. Sasori and Deidara didn't notice anything unusual. ===== CHAPTER 549 =====
