Chapter 392 Distress
Time passes minute by minute.

Just as Qing Ming was taking advantage of the cover of night and using the powerful insight of the Sharingan to observe the movements of the Mist Ninjas in the stronghold below and collect intelligence, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot over.

In an instant, a strong sense of crisis came over me.

Almost instinctively, Qing Ming dodged to the side.

The next moment, a crossbow arrow as thick as a baby's arm flew past his shoulder, and the whistling wind it brought with it made his cheek hurt.

This is not finished!
After dodging the attack, the sense of crisis in his heart did not disappear. Qingming's mind quickly flashed the image of the crossbow arrow flying past, and there seemed to be several talismans stuck on it.

"It's the detonating talisman!"

Qing Ming was horrified, and immediately pushed the "Wind Escape: Wind Wings" to its limit, and flew away from the spot in an instant.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
The explosions of three detonating talismans sounded almost simultaneously.

The next moment, three scarlet fireballs appeared in the air, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the entire night sky.

A figure rushed out from the flames, fell several meters, and then quickly rose up again.

This person was naturally none other than Qing Ming.

puff~
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Qingming's mouth.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at the fireball in the sky with lingering fear.

Just now, he had a close call and was almost killed in the explosion of those three detonating talismans.

That is to say, his 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' has been upgraded to level 3, and he can fly meters per second, otherwise he would definitely be seriously injured.

Even so, he was injured by the shock wave of the explosion.

At this moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.

Compared to this, the burns on my body were nothing.

After all, the contact was short and the two sides separated quickly, so no serious injuries were caused.

Qingming formed seals with his hands and quickly performed the panacea medical ninjutsu - Palm Immortal Technique, to relieve the injuries on his body, then looked down.

It can be seen that the Mist Ninjas in the Feiyu Town stronghold were also very panicked at this time.

Obviously, the attack just now was not rehearsed in advance, and it was very sudden for them, otherwise they would not react like this.

However, it was precisely because of this that he was caught off guard.

Otherwise, he would be able to detect any slight movement of the Mist Ninja below.

By then, with more vigilance, he would not be exposed to such risks.

However, no matter what, he was not alert enough and underestimated the Hidden Mist Village.

Indeed, he had always said that after that night, the Hidden Mist Village would definitely take targeted measures, and the command center also received the corresponding news.

However, deep down, he still didn't raise his guard too much.

There was no way. From his memories of his previous life, he knew clearly that although the major ninja villages in the ninja world had means to deal with aerial targets, they were not many.

More often than not, it can only serve as harassment.

As for those who can actually restrain themselves, there is almost none.

Because of this, he instinctively relaxed his vigilance.

In this way, you will naturally suffer.

It has to be said that the Hidden Mist Village taught him a lesson, letting him know that arrogance is never acceptable at any time.

Qing Ming collected all his thoughts, calmed his mind, shifted his gaze away from the panicked crowd, and looked in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from.

It can be seen that there is a top of a building with three figures on it, struggling to operate a crossbow cart.

Obviously, the crossbow arrow just now was fired by it.

At this time, another crossbow arrow was loaded on it.

A faint sense of crisis came to his mind, and Qingming immediately became extremely alert.

The next moment, the crossbow arrow flew out, aiming directly at his chest.

However, this time Qingming was prepared. His Sharingan shrank slightly and he instantly identified the flight trajectory of the crossbow arrow.

Then, he flapped his wings and dodged easily.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
Three explosions sounded again in succession.

The rolling heat wave blew away Qingming's long hair.

However, Qingming was not hurt at all this time.

However, before Qingming could breathe a sigh of relief, three more crossbow arrows were shot at him.

Qing Ming looked carefully and saw three crossbow carts arranged in a "品" shape on the top of another building, with nine figures beside them.

It was obvious that these three crossbow arrows were shot by them.

However, when he glanced over just now, there was nothing there.

Obviously, the Hidden Mist Village had used some means to conceal these crossbow carts and the people who controlled them. Faintly, Qingming understood something in his heart.

Then he thought, are there any crossbow carts hidden in other places?

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming quickly glanced at several other taller buildings, then controlled the chakra wings behind him and flew high into the sky.

However, the next moment, several more crossbow arrows shot over.

Qingming looked around and saw that there were indeed crossbow carts revealed in the places he had just scanned.

Then he flapped his wings, adjusted his flying direction, and avoided the crossbow arrows again.

And this is just the beginning.

Next, a continuous stream of crossbow arrows were fired from the crossbow cart below, either directly hitting his body or blocking his escape route.

In short, one by one, they all wanted his life.

Unfortunately, as he continued to fly higher, he had less and less time to react.

Correspondingly, the threat these crossbows could bring to him became lower and lower.

Boom boom boom~
Explosive talismans exploded in the air, and the resulting fireballs looked like fireworks, lighting up the entire night sky.

Qingming rushed left and right, and finally escaped from the attack range of all crossbows.

Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

Although he encountered some dangers tonight, it was also a preparation for the subsequent battles.

If it weren't for what happened tonight, in the subsequent battles, if he was suddenly attacked by these crossbows and the attack of the Mist Ninja, he might be in even greater danger.

All I can say is that the Hidden Mist Village is anxious.

However, he could also understand the other party.

After all, his flying altitude just now was indeed a bit low, and he was not very vigilant, so it was indeed a rare opportunity.

Unfortunately, his reaction was too quick, and he ultimately managed to avoid the crisis by relying on his hard power.

"Sure enough, at any time, one's own strength is the most important, so that even if there are some mistakes, there will be a chance to remedy them."

Qingming once again determined to improve his strength.

Suppressing these thoughts temporarily in his heart, Qingming moved his mind, opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and looked down.

It can be seen that at this time, Kirigakure has stopped attacking and all the crossbow carts have been exposed.

"One, two, three."

Qingming's eyes swept across these crossbow carts one by one, muttering to himself.

In the end, he determined that the Hidden Mist Village had a total of twenty-one crossbow carts.

According to its previous firing speed, with so many crossbow carts working at the same time and enough crossbow arrows, it can fire about thirty to forty crossbow arrows per minute.

That is to say, on average, one shot every 1.5 to 2 seconds.

If that were all, then it wouldn't be a big deal. As long as the distance wasn't too close, Qingming could basically dodge it with his reaction speed.

But the key to the problem is that these crossbow arrows fly too fast and carry a lot of kinetic energy, which requires him not to make any mistakes.

Otherwise, if you get touched, you will die.

This, combined with the range damage of the detonating talisman.

There is no doubt that it was enough to pose a threat to him.

"After this, you have to be more careful."

Qingming thought.

But then, a question came to his mind: how did the Hidden Mist Village transport so many crossbow carts and crossbow arrows?
You know, he revealed his ability of flying ninjutsu just the night before yesterday, and it has been less than forty-eight hours since then.

Even if the Hidden Mist Village has a deep foundation and has reserves of these things, it is impossible to transport them here so quickly. After all, this place is not very close to the Hidden Mist Village.

"It's not possible that the Hidden Mist Village could have foreseen the future and made arrangements in advance, right?"

Qing Ming laughed at himself.

and many more!

Suddenly, Qingming thought that it seemed that the transportation of supplies in the Ninja World did not necessarily have to be "one step at a time".

For something as important as this, they could easily ask a ninja who was proficient in space ninjutsu to seal it in a scroll.

Then, whether sending ninjas to escort them personally or using the "reverse summoning technique" to cheat, they can be delivered quickly.

Given the size of the Hidden Mist Village, it shouldn't be difficult to find two such ninjas.

"As expected, we still can't underestimate the foundation and adaptability of these big ninja villages!"

With a final mutter, Qing Ming no longer paid attention to the Mist Ninjas in the stronghold below and flew straight towards the Black Stone stronghold.

Tonight, his mission had been completed and he had gained something extra, so there was no need to linger any longer.
