Chapter 163 Another good year

one year later,

In September, the thirteenth year of Tang Yin's reign.

In the desert, Shangguan Mo was walking forward.

The long storm and yellow sand forced him to think of something to relieve his inner irritability.

"If we change it to Konoha's timeline, this year will be Konoha's 47th year. There will only be one year left before the Third Ninja War officially breaks out in 48th year..."

Shangguan Mo sighed slightly in his heart, feeling both expectant and nervous.

Although he had been preparing for this day, when the great chaos in the Ninja world was approaching, Shangguan Mo still felt a little unsure. He didn't know whether Tangyin Village under his reform could benefit from this huge war. ?

Shangguan Mo's body covered with dust paused for a moment, and Shangguan Mo sighed irritably. He took out the map from his pocket again and checked it before raising his eyes to the end of the endless desert.

"When will it end?"

Ever since he came to the deep hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind and even near the border, the wind and sand in the desert here have become more and more violent. Even the Wind and Thunder Eagle cannot maintain high mobility here.

After all, in the desert here, the higher the altitude, the more violent the storm and yellow sand become, so Shangguan Mo could only move forward on his own legs.

The strong wind here is blowing the sand and it is flying aimlessly in the sky. Above the sky, a big sun hangs in the distance, but it is extremely blurry. Even if he faces the golden phantom, Shangguan Mo can't even feel any glare. .

The sandstorms everywhere did not stop for even a moment, making Shangguan Mo couldn't help but wonder if he had entered another world.

He has been walking here for a day. According to his inner judgment, he should have walked more than a hundred miles.

During the day, if the sun didn't shine, Shangguan Mo wouldn't even be able to tell the time. This vast desert was like a dead place, with nothing but yellow sand, and no trace of the existence of flecks of animals or plants.

After looking at yellow for a long time, even Shangguan Mo became numb.

He could only try his best to maintain inner peace through thinking, and the little bits of fine sand hitting his face and body made him feel that he was a real existence at the moment, and not just a piece of yellow sand in the sky. member.

"It seems that Orochimaru is really not dead, otherwise, the body would not have mysteriously disappeared into the storage scroll the day after I returned to the village..."

Shangguan Mo was thinking about trivial matters to pass the time. When he thought of this incident, although he was very surprised at the time, he thought that it was the big snake that caused him a big loss and almost killed Ah Huang and him. Maru, he was not surprised.

It just made him feel a little bit pity.

He originally wanted to see what level of material Orochimaru's body could be judged by the system, and then look for suitable creatures to synthesize it, but he didn't expect that something like this happened.

Shangguan Mo bowed his body slightly lower to minimize the force-bearing area.

The strong winds gusting from east to west greatly affected his speed, but after getting used to it, he continued to move forward at a not too slow speed.

He was wearing a black windbreaker that covered most of his face and only exposed a pair of eyes. Shangguan Mo didn't want to suffer from heat stroke, it was just to block the wind and sand. But after the past few days, this black windbreaker has been Stained with a thick layer of yellow.

"It's a natural disguise..."

Shangguan Mo laughed at himself in his heart.

Even from a close distance, he now looks the same as the boundless yellow sand, all the same color.

No bigger than the Konoha family, he knows all the information about the shinobi world.

After more than a year of investigation, the manpower sent by Shangguan Mo finally determined the specific location of Loulan. Coupled with some extraordinary intelligence information, Shangguan Mo no longer hesitated and chose to come to Loulan took a chance.

In this year, he has not synthesized a single psychic beast.

Even though he never stopped collecting materials and creatures, luck was like that sometimes.

Not to mention the C-level psychic beasts that can greatly contribute to his strength, even for low-level psychic beasts with special functions, Shangguan Mo has not been able to find a synthesis formula with a [compatibility] of more than 50%.

This had to make him feel regretful. Time was passing and the Ninja World War was about to break out. Shangguan Mo's heart was followed by a growing sense of urgency.

The stagnation in strength was enough to make him panic.

After this year, it cannot be said that his own strength has not improved. Whether it is chakra or physical fitness, there have actually been considerable changes. After all, he is eighteen years old when he is growing up, but everyone's talents All have their limitations.

Today's Shangguan Mo is confident that even without the increase of psychic beasts, his own strength is not inferior to that of ordinary jounin.

Of course, if you are a jonin in a small village like Yuyin Village, if you are a jounin in Konoha, you are guaranteed to master some powerful ninjutsu or even forbidden jutsu. Shangguan Mo does not have a so-called criterion for judging.

According to his estimation, if a few psychic beasts are added to the increase, he should be able to exert a strength no less than that of an elite jounin.

But Shangguan Mo knows that most of the elite Jonin from the five major countries have extremely powerful abilities, whether it is ninjutsu, taijutsu, illusions or even forbidden arts. They can become elites in the five ninja villages where talents are abundant. Jonin, without some special skills and trump cards, it is simply a fantasy.

Apart from his powerful ability to save lives, Shangguan Mo actually has no other outstanding aspects.

With his current strength, if he was allowed to stay at home and protect Tangyin Village and not get involved in external disputes, he would think there would be no problem.

But if he is allowed to wait for an opportunity to snatch food between the teeth of the five major countries, then he will feel that his current strength is somewhat beyond recognition.

Therefore, for Shangguan Mo, improving his strength is an urgent matter.

Even though dragon veins are very dangerous, Shangguan Mo is willing to take some risks to try to obtain the power of Loulan's dragon veins.
