Chapter Twelve: Becoming a Ninja

  The sword shadow enters the body, transforming into a sword soldier. Although the attack power is high, it's not the best choice in such a dark and eerie place. Guo Fei secretly ponders whether he should transform into a ninja, sneaking and hiding, perhaps increasing his chances of survival.

  Because of a certain country, Guo Fei didn't like the "Ninja" troop type. But at this time it was indeed a good choice, this is a troop type similar to an assassin, in such a place should be able to play its strengths, Guo Fei decided to give it a try.

  Guo Fei investigated the military symbol and found that he could transform into a sword soldier, ninja, and cavalry. Other troops, he simply couldn't let them enter his body.

  In the Ninja's Soldier Hall, similar to the Sword Soldier Hall, there are about 200 cells. Inside, a curved knife phantom like "Xuan Yue" floats, with an extremely illusory curve, only an outline floating between the cells.

  Cavalry Hall, inside there are also two hundred cells. However, what is puzzling is that they are separated: on one side there are one hundred bow-riding cavalry and one hundred axe-riding cavalry; inside the bow-riding cavalry, below is a black shadowy light group of a mount, on top of which floats a shadowy bow; inside the axe-riding cavalry, on top of the mount's shadowy light group floats a long-handled axe.

  Guo Fei's divine consciousness stirred, and the ninja's curved knife light shadow entered his body. The sword shadow instantly exited his body and appeared in the sword hall grid. The tip of the sword revealed a bright snow-white light, which was exceptionally dazzling on the black virtual shadow-like sword body.

  "Secondary swordsmen can only make the tip of the sword appear with a faint white glow. If the entire sword body transforms into a bright white light, I don't know how strong the heat flow in my body will become and what effect it will have." Guo Fei thought to himself.

  Guo Fei found that upgrading by killing skulls wasn't very fast, and if the entire sword body turned white, it would probably take killing tens of millions of skulls. Maybe, he needed to kill higher-level ones to upgrade faster. However, this wasn't a game where you could reload after dying; in the real world, when people died, they were gone for good. Guo Fei didn't think he could come back to life after dying, so he couldn't be careless.

  The curved sword's light and shadow entered his body, and Guo Fei's body trembled instantly. A stream of cold air flowed through his meridians, which was very different from the sword's energy flow. If the sword's hot flow was like the scorching sun, bright and warm, with a hint of heroic righteousness; this stream of air was like a cold moon, dark and eerie, with a hint of sinister evil energy.

  "How could this be?" Guo Fei was perplexed. Two different streams of air were flowing in the same body, and according to reason, the body had adapted to the sword shadow heat flow, it should have been very rejecting of this cold and sinister airflow, but on the contrary, the body did not feel uncomfortable, instead it merged together like water from the same source.

  At this moment, Guo Fei had a feeling that his body could merge into the darkness at any time, turning into a stone or a grain of sand, hiding in nothingness.

  The Xuan Iron Sword in hand was no longer handy, a poisonous short dagger, a short bow with poisonous arrows, and poisonous darts were more suitable for myself.

  Although Guo Fei didn't understand why, from Wen Shu's few words, Guo Fei knew that this was the instrument's fate. The instrument's fate is extremely important for a warrior; without it, a warrior will definitely have no attacking power and won't go far on the path of cultivation.

  But a martial artist often has only one type of weapon affinity, with an extremely strong feeling for one type of weapon, and through continuous practice, they can bring out the potential of this weapon and reach the pinnacle of mastery.

  However, Guo Fei tried it out and found that whether it was the sword's shadow entering his body, giving him a sense of the sword; or the curved knife's light and shadow entering his body, giving him a sense of the short and strange weapon, they were all the same, as if produced from the bottom of his own heart.

  The military order not only provided strength but also brought a sense of enlightenment about the way of weapons. Guo Fei could only understand it this way.

  Transformed into a ninja, the feeling in the darkness suddenly became sharp. Originally, I could only see clearly ten meters ahead, but now not only has my vision increased, I can see fifty meters ahead, and the feeling is even more abnormally acute, I can feel everything within a hundred meters, just like having a spiritual connection.

  At the same time, his movements became quicker, his body as light as a swallow, and his shadow fluttered about, much faster than before. His movements were abnormally agile, and his footwork became strange, twisting and turning like the wind, covering three meters in one step. However, his strength seemed to have decreased significantly, and the Xuan Tie sword in his hand felt extremely heavy and unwieldy.

  Guo Fei investigated the soldier's space, a first-class ninja. According to Guo Fei's memory, the attribute data of a first-class ninja was attack 6, defense 4, and movement 7. It seemed that it wasn't faster than the sword soldier, but in reality, it was not the case, as its speed had increased by a lot. However, there was no data display in the soldier's symbol, only the level was marked.

  Guo Fei put the Xuan Tie sword on his back. Originally, Guo Fei wanted to try and see if he could store it in the Bing Fu space, but with other people around, it was inconvenient. After all, the Bing Fu was his greatest secret, and these people didn't understand him, their feelings weren't deep, once it was revealed, hidden dangers would lurk. This sense of vigilance, Guo Fei still had.

  After his eyesight greatly increased, Guo Fei took the lead in guiding the way forward. The layered hills stretched out continuously, with sand dunes and hills alternating, and hidden caves within the hills where ghostly soldiers could easily hide.

  The Zhao cavalry pursued the remaining Jie troops in front, followed by infantry and archers, searching the hills one by one and surrounding and killing the hidden skulls.

  "Big brother, if we follow behind others' backsides, we can't even get a single hair. This won't do." The second brother said with some anxiety.

  Lao Er's words were exactly what everyone was thinking. If they couldn't kill the Skull and get the Soul Crystal, this trip would be in vain. Especially for Jin Datong, who had long been tired of his life of slaughter, it was a rare opportunity to encounter such a good chance.

  Ten people quickened their pace again.

  "Wait!" On a hillside, Guo Fei and others were about to bypass the hill. Behind a pile of sand at the foot of the hill, a faint sound seemed to be coming from there, and Guo Fei immediately called on Jin Da Tong and others to stop.

  "What's wrong, Old Ten!" Jin Datong exclaimed in surprise.

  "Something seems off! There's a sound." Guo Fei pointed to a pile of sand below the hill, relying on his ninja keen sense, he had clearly felt vibrations inside a few steps earlier.

  "There's nothing but a pile of sand. Let's hurry up and not waste any more time, if there were any enemy soldiers, the troops ahead would have discovered them already." Lao San was hot-tempered and immediately became anxious.

  Guo Fei ignored him and with a swift movement, he arrived at the sand pile, kicked it with his foot, and the sand pile collapsed. The sand scattered down like flowing water.

  "Hiss!" A white light flashed, and a bone knife emerged from the quicksand, stabbing at Guo Fei's body in an eerie manner. Guo Fei had long been on guard, flipping his body backward to dodge it.

  "Skull Soldier!" Jin Datong's eyes flashed with light, and in an instant, he drew his great sword, leapt over Guo Fei, and struck down with one slash, piercing into the sand pile. A dark opening appeared in the sand pile, and a Skull Soldier's figure flashed as it retreated inside.

  "Haha, grandma's, finally found the skeleton soldier, Old Ten will take the lead. Brothers, draw your swords, prepare for battle!" Jin Datong laughed loudly.

  "Hey, big brother, don't be impatient. These skulls are hiding in the black hole. If we rush in carelessly, I'm afraid..." Guo Fei stood up and waved his hand.

  Kuang's personality has always been cautious. After coming to this world, everything he saw and heard made him feel an inexplicable sense of fear, making him even more careful in his heart.

  Jin Datong and others seem to have regarded these skull soldiers as sheep waiting to be slaughtered, Guo Fei thinks it's not appropriate. Although the skull soldiers are not intelligent, especially when there is no leader commanding, they are simply like a group of brainless wild beasts, with very low combat effectiveness.

  But he didn't forget that half a year ago when he first came here, these skull soldiers could flip him over with just one claw. If they were forced to be urgent, would they jump into the hole, after all, they didn't know what was inside.
