"If there is a group that has the same idea as ours, then someone will come over soon."

Asuka said.

"What if they didn't occupy the water source area first?"

"Then their movement will be restricted...or, they will wait until night before taking action."

"night?"

"The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. Compared with the hot weather during the day, it is better to move at night. But there is a problem, that is, you are likely to get lost in the desert at night, and the creatures in the desert come out to look for food.

It’s usually night time too.”

This is not only a problem that other candidates have to face, but also a dilemma that Feiniao and the others need to face.

But fortunately, they have now occupied a stronghold with a water source in advance. As long as they are properly arranged and take protective measures in advance, they can not only avoid the waste of physical strength, but also effectively prevent attacks by desert creatures at night.

As long as there are candidates who have ideas, Feiniao believes that they will make this choice.

This is not only a battle between candidates but also a battle for survival.

Before the battle, Feiniao will give priority to solving future problems. Only after solving the basic survival problems, will it consider seizing the scrolls of other groups. To avoid others waiting for work, they will make the exam more difficult for themselves.

Just when the water in the kettle was about to boil, Cai's body suddenly shook slightly.

Although there was very little movement, Feiniao and Xianglin looked at him at the same time.

At the same time, Xiang Rin also deployed his sensory ninjutsu to search the surroundings, forming a double detection 'network' with Cai to avoid any fish slipping through the net.

"come yet?"

Asuka asked softly.

Cai nodded and replied softly: "There are three people heading to the other side of the river. It is about 700 meters away from here."

"Where are you?"

Asuka confirmed to Xianglin.

Xianglin nodded. Her perception result was the same as Cai's. There were only three people and the distance was more than 700 meters.

Feiniao felt relieved and did not rush to go. Instead, he stood up and continued to ask unhurriedly: "Did you see clearly what scroll they were carrying?"

"They are the same as us, they are the Scroll of Heaven. Do you want to let them go?"

After Cai finished speaking, she asked a question.

"Don't use them as bait, just deal with them directly. Xianglin, you stay here, Cai, you come with me."

Feiniao left the shade of the sandstone with Cai Cai. He used the uneven terrain around him to hide his figure and approached the river step by step.

The three candidates staying by the river have not left yet, and Asuka is sure that there are no sentient ninjas in this group.

One hundred meters away from the three candidates, Asuka and Cai stopped, relying on a heavily weathered rock as a cover to explore the location of the river.

Asuka took out three kunai from his ninja tool bag and wrapped his hands with lightning. The three kunai were immediately guided by some kind of power and suspended in mid-air.

"Can we ensure that we hit those three people?"

Asuka asked.

Cai took a look and said: "The kunai on the left is shifted ten degrees to the left and raised two centimeters."

Asuka did as he was told, and it only took a second to adjust the direction of the kunai according to Cai's words.

Then, without the slightest pause, the movements were smooth and flowing, and the kunai suspended in mid-air immediately shot out and disappeared from Asuka and Sai's eyes.

There were no screams, only the sound of wind and sand blowing. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

About a few seconds later, Asuka and Cai walked out from behind the rocks and rushed towards the river as fast as possible. They saw three candidates lying next to the river embankment, each with a kunai stuck in their bodies, and they were deeply sunk into their flesh.

middle.

Cai walked over, flashed her figure, and pressed her palm violently on the stomach of a male examinee. The violent chakra rushed into the opponent's internal organs and launched an internal attack.

Suddenly, the examinee who was pretending to be dead let out a scream and vomited out a large mouthful of blood. There was disbelief in his dying eyes.

He had no idea how his pretending to be dead was noticed by the enemy.

In the ninja tool bag of the male candidate who was pretending to be dead, Cai dug out a Scroll of Heaven. He also plundered all the kunai, shurikens, detonating charms, scrolls and other items in the opponent's ninja tool bag, and found none.

remain.

Asuka also took the same measures, searching the bodies of another male and female candidate and taking away all the ninja tools and other things.

These are important materials that can be used continuously.

The two brothers didn't say anything. After searching for the loot, they started to deal with the three corpses in a tacit understanding, waiting for the next group of 'destined people'.

Six or seven hours have passed since the second exam started.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The temperature in the desert continues to rise at a slow rate, causing the temperature of the sand to also begin to rise. Walking in this place feels like being imprisoned in a huge furnace and being burned by fire.

Even a native of the Kingdom of Wind like Temari doesn't like to go out and act in such a high temperature environment.

However, in order to prepare for the dangerous night, it is necessary to collect enough supplies during the day to ensure a good survival the next day.

Temari has heard a lot of rumors about the Demonic Desert.

The environment here is countless times more dangerous than the desert outside.

Especially at night.

There are many large carnivores hidden in this desert, and night is the time when these large carnivores come out to look for food.

Some carnivorous animals are so powerful that even Chuunin find it difficult to handle them.

In addition, some carnivorous animals are highly poisonous. If they are poisoned, their situation will become worrying.

Temari, who often lives in the desert, knows very well what she needs to do to survive safely in the desert at night.

From this point of view, the Sunagakure ninjas who have more experience living in the desert have an advantage in this exam.

"Meat and water have been found. Now we can look for some flammable things and go back."

Temari's purpose is clear.

But even so, it is very difficult to find anything flammable in the bare desert.

Sand and rocks can be seen everywhere, as well as the sun's rays.

Temari felt that she had to fight quickly. The longer the time dragged on, the more she couldn't bear the high temperature. Saving energy and waiting for the fighter plane was a necessary basic tactic.

At this moment, Temari's ears suddenly moved, and some sound was transmitted to her ears through the air.

It was like the sound made by someone drowning in water.

Drowning?

Temari, who had already surveyed this area, knew that there was no water source at all.

Moreover, the water in the Demonic Desert is not deep, so it is impossible for people to drown. In addition, ninjas must be able to swim and have the ability to walk on water. In theory, it is impossible for ninjas to drown.

But this sound is indeed the sound made by someone drowning.

Even though it was slight, Temari believed that she had definitely heard it right.

Temari's heart was awe-inspiring, and she followed the sound and silently walked forward, carefully climbing up the huge sandstone.

This is a sand dune environment with complex terrain. As long as you are careful, you can completely cover your body and not be noticed by the enemy.

But for the possible battle that would follow, Temari also pressed her right hand on the three-star fan behind her, ready to fight at any time.

Even if she encounters a critical situation, Temari is confident that she can handle it.

Based on her strength, she has already reached the chuunin level. Even if she is acting alone, she believes that few of the candidates can pose a threat to her.

Climbing to the top of the huge sandstone block, half of the head was slightly exposed. It was easy to look down from a high place and see the scene below.

I saw three young male candidates holding their own throats with their hands, rolling on the ground in agony, and with violent choking movements, they coughed out saliva from their mouths, which fell on the sand beside them.

The sound of drowning comes from here.

Those were genin from Kumogakure Village. When Temari saw this, she instantly recognized these three male candidates as genin from Kumogakure Village from their clothes and forehead protectors.

Not far from the three Kumogakure genin, a dazzling and formidable figure stood there.

She has a red and white miko uniform and long, shiny black hair that moves with the wind.

The two arms hung down naturally. In her right hand, she held a bamboo tube with the plug open.

The bamboo tube is covered with charms, surrounding the bamboo tube.

It is conceivable that it is not a utensil for drinking water, but some kind of special tolerance tool.

The other party's fair-skinned woman was even jealous of Temari, who was a girl. Her eyes were closed tightly, showing an indifferent attitude, like a "goddess" in a picture book, who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

She is a genin from the Kingdom of Demons. Did she do this? Temari narrowed her eyes. She didn't know why, but when she looked at this miko girl who was one or two years younger than herself, there was always a feeling that made her heart skip a beat.

Judging from the situation at the scene, after encountering three genin from the Hidden Cloud Village, this genin from the Kingdom of Demons used inexplicable means to subdue the three of them.
