Chapter 37
The old man was wearing a raincoat, a bamboo hat on his head, and a tight winter coat inside. Only then did Shenyu realize that the temperature in the air was extremely low, and just breathing out brought up a large amount of white mist.
"Well... young man, why are you wearing so little in such a cold weather?"The old man spoke first, staring at Shen Yu's bare upper body, and he was stunned.
Logically speaking, such a thin body would have been bruised and bruised by the cold, but this young man's skin was still white and rosy, and even radiated A touch of heat
"Um... I accidentally ruined my clothes when I went fishing in the sea. Shen Yu scratched his head and came to the old man,"Old man, do you have any extra clothes over there that you can lend me?""
His clothes had long been torn to pieces by the forced water arrows, and together with his ninja bag, money bag, supply bag, and dry food, he was crushed into the deep sea. His physique was as strong as the"Poseidon", allowing him to resist It's freezing cold and hot, but the Kingdom of Iron is located in a very cold place. It's really not good to be seen naked by ordinary people in the cold weather. He doesn't like to be treated as an alien.
The old man hesitated and said,"There are no extra clothes in the cabin. There is indeed a coir raincoat inside, but……"
Shen Yu saw the old man's embarrassment and immediately smiled and said:"Don't worry, I won't take your clothes for nothing, so let's do this, I'll exchange them with you!""
"this……"The old man raised his hand and was thinking of how to politely refuse, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him had turned around, jumped into the sea in front of him
"Plop!"
The waves rolled, raising white foam, covering all traces
"this……"The old man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He had never seen such a person in his entire life.
Not to mention your young age, you can jump tens of meters high from the ground... It seems that the tide is about to recede, how dare he go into the sea at this time!
It didn't shock him for too long, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, Shen Yu jumped out of the sea, landed in the air in the same posture, and stood in front of the old man.
"call——"
The wind howled and the water splashed everywhere. The old man quickly stepped back and narrowed his eyes tightly. Even his bamboo hat was blown away.
"I'll trade this fish with you."Shenyu smiled and threw a big round fish next to the old man.
"This is……"
The faint fishy smell of the sea hit his nostrils, and the old man approached suspiciously. Suddenly, his cloudy eyes gleamed!
"Bluefin tuna!"
"Darling... where did you catch this from?……"
"Didn't you see it just now?"Shenyu didn't look back and pointed at the sea behind him.
"I have only seen this fish once. It was brought back by my son. It is said that it lives thousands of meters under the sea. Only ninjas from the land of water have the ability to catch it.……"
Shenyu crossed his hands and raised his chin,"Do you like it? Change your raincoat.""
"Oh, this is too expensive……"
"Should I change it or not?"
"Change!"
Shenyu took the coir raincoat with a smile. To express his gratitude, the old man also gave him a bamboo hat.
Shenyu turned around and left, using the cover of the jungle to form a seal with his hands.
"Spiritualism!!"
The white smoke dissipated, and a slender civet cat appeared in front of him.
"Hiss, it’s so cold."The ninja cat shook the snowflakes on his body and bared his teeth.
"Zesuke, go back and tell Pochi and ask him to channel me back to the cat house."
"Can't do it, Meow, Pochi isn't here"
"What? Shen Yu was surprised:"Where else can it go if it's not in the cat house?""
"I don’t know~" Zesuke shook his head.
"What about Tachibanaru?"
"Tachibanaro Maru was just called away by Uchiha Hikari yesterday, and is now in the cooling-off period, nya"
"All right……"Shenyu said casually:"Then you go back and channel me back to the cat house."
"Stupid Shenyu, have you forgotten that the channeling time is fixed?"
Zawasuke jumped to the tree trunk and licked the snowflakes on the flesh pad,"You summon me once, and the next summons will be three days later. During this period, we cannot communicate with each other."
"ah……"Shen Yu covered his face, feeling helpless,"That means I can only walk back by myself."
"Chenghui~" Ninja Zesuke raised a paw
"No, man. Shen Yu's eyes widened,"What do you want in return for not doing anything?""
"Help you keep the secret from other ninja cats, nya. Zesuke showed his humane treachery,"In other words, Shenyu no longer cares about his own intelligence.……?"
Shen Yu's face darkened, and he twitched the corners of his mouth in depression, then threw him a fish.
"As you can see, I am very poor now, so I will use this to pay off my debt first."Shenyu circled in front of it, showing off his coir raincoat.
"With a bang, Zesuke threw the fish away angrily,"That's it again!""
A few minutes later, the old man who was pouring salt at the beach turned around, and the young man just now left and came back again.
"Dad, let me ask you something again. Do you know how to get to the Fire Country? Just give me a general direction"
……
The Iron Country has a cold climate and is covered in heavy snow all day long. The further west you go, the lower the temperature becomes.
Fortunately, Shen Yu was wearing a raincoat, so even if his chest was naked underneath, no one could see it under the cover of heavy snow.
According to the old man, the place where he landed happened to be the easternmost coast of the Kingdom of Iron. If he wanted to return to the Kingdom of Fire, he would have to go all the way west, pass through the capital, and cross the entire country.
The journey to the capital city is a long way, and there are countless mountains that cross the road. The mountains are stacked, and there are deep forests. Coupled with the cold climate, the road conditions are really worrying for ordinary people.
Even the fastest horse would have to run for days and nights to reach its destination.
But for Shenyu, this is not a problem, he only needs one direction.
The ninja's way of traveling is simple and crude. With only one pair of legs, it doesn't matter whether it is climbing over mountains or crossing seas and rivers.
To ordinary people, ninjas are superpowers. Their speed can easily surpass any beast. When moving at full speed, they are like human-shaped high-speed trains, and they are not afraid of any terrain restrictions. In addition, they consume little physical energy and can only take a soldier's ration pill. , can support them to run for three days and three nights!
So, Shen Yu concentrated on following the direction pointed by the old man and ran for a whole day without saying a word.
But as far as the eye can see, it is still covered with white snow, which shows that he has not escaped from the Iron Country at all.
You know, before he became the"Poseidon Body" again, his speed under normal conditions had already reached Mach 12, and now it has increased to the terrifying Mach 30. This has surpassed himself when he originally opened the"Second Shumen", although it is not as good as The speed in the water is enough to put most ninjas out of reach.
It stands to reason that it won't take long to cross the Kingdom of Iron...
He sensed something was wrong, and looked for a nearby village. After asking around, he found out that he was still wandering east of the Kingdom of Iron!
"Impossible, is that old man lying to me? Or was it given the wrong direction?"
He asked more than a dozen people for directions. After seeing that the locals pointed out the same direction, he finally smiled with relief.
One night later
"What! Where did you say this is?"
