Two days later, Miasma Insect Valley.
This is a dangerous area at the junction of the Land of Fire border and Land of Grass, with few human traces.
From the outside, it looks like a huge circular deep bowl, surrounded by layers of mountain walls.
Only a narrow entrance is left on the east side.
There is no sunshine in the valley all year round, and a lavender miasma of poisonous mist rises from the bottom of the valley and fills the forest.
The temperature is extremely high and the humidity is extremely high.
The rotten fallen leaves were piled up several feet thick, exuding a strong smell of fermented vegetation, mixed with unknown floral and rotten smells.
It is this environment that becomes the ultimate breeding ground for all insects.
Aburame Clan Throughout the ages, people have been sent here to look for rare insects.
Observe new species and cultivate special varieties.
Under normal circumstances, Aburame Clan tribesmen are responsible for guarding this place to prevent anyone from entering at will.
When Kai's figure appeared near the mouth of the valley, before his steps could stop, there was an uneasy feeling in his arms.
He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and reached into his clothes, and pulled out a small black beetle.
The insect vibrated its wings gently in his palm, with a rapid frequency.
It's a sensor bug.
Kai's eyes lit up: "Could it be that-"
He raised his head and looked toward the mouth of the valley, and sure enough, a figure was coming out quickly.
The man was wearing Aburame Clan's signature high-collared dark clothes and sunglasses, with his collar completely covered.
There was an undisguised smile on his face.
"Brother!"
Aburame Shikuroo waved to Kaimeng from a distance and walked closer quickly, the smile on his face almost overflowing.
Kai laughed, strode forward to meet her, and the two hugged her tightly.
Kai patted Shibi hard on the back, his voice filled with unconcealable happiness:
"Why are you here?"
Shibi grinned.
"If you are looking for Rinkaichū, I will definitely come over in person."
"Reliable."
Kai laughed.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Kai turned around, glanced at Suzumebachi behind him, hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly:
"By the way, this is the young patriarch of the Kamizuru Clan, Suzumebachi."
Kai raised his hand slightly Suzumebachi.
Suzumebachi immediately showed a proud expression on his face.
Hearing the words "Shangshui Shui", Shibi was obviously stunned for a moment.
Of course he knows the name.
At Second Shinobi World War, the battle between the Kamizuru Clan and Aburame Clan was an old story that the older generation often mentioned.
There has been no contact between the two clans for many years, and I didn't expect to meet a descendant of the Kamizuru Clan here.
Kai pointed at Shibi and continued to introduce:
"This is Aburame Shikuroo from the Aburame Clan, my good brother."
When Suzumebachi heard "Aburame Clan", his expression was also slightly unnatural.
She doesn't have much hatred towards the Aburame Clan.
But it is impossible to say that there is no grudge.
It was precisely after being defeated by the Aburame Clan that Kamizuru Clan plummeted to where it is today.
This kind of resentment and unwillingness that has been accumulated for many years cannot be let go just by letting it go.
Kai raised his chin slightly and winked at Suzumebachi.
Suzumebachi I understand.
Although I was still a little awkward in my heart, in front of Kai, I calmed down a little, raised my head slightly and said:
"Kamizuru Clan Young Patriarch, Suzumebachi."
Shibi glanced at her and didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly and reached out his hand:
"Hello, my name is Aburame Shikuroo."
Suzumebachi glanced at the stretched out hand and curled his lips.
After a while, he stretched out his hand, touched it lightly with his fingertips and then retracted it, as if he didn't want to touch it for two more seconds.
Shibi didn't mind either. He retracted his hand and his eyes fell back on Kai.
He was not here to socialize.
It was Kai who met him, and he didn't care too much about who was traveling with him.
Kai looked at the brief exchange between the two and didn't say much. He just smiled:
"Let's go. This is my first trip to this place. You can lead the way, so I won't worry."
Shibi nodded, turned around and walked towards the valley:
"It just so happens that this season is when Rinkaichū is breeding. If we are lucky, we might be able to find it. Let's go."
The three of them stepped into the valley entrance one after another.
After taking a few steps, Shibi stopped, took out a dark green leaf from his arms, and handed it to Kai:
"The miasma in the valley is not light. Inhaling it for a long time can easily lead to hallucinations. In severe cases, it can affect your judgment."
"If you hold this leaf under your tongue, it will eliminate the effects."
Kai took it smoothly and put it directly into his mouth without any courtesy.
The leaves have a faint bitter taste, and there is a cooling sensation under the tongue after entering the mouth, which indeed makes breathing a lot more refreshing.
Although he is not afraid of this miasma, Marrow Cleansing Classic is enough to resist most toxins, and there is still half a piece of Sobering Stone.
But Shibi's kindness will not be rejected by him.
Shibi took out another leaf and handed it to Suzumebachi:
"For you."
Suzumebachi did not answer, but curled his lips, with a hint of arrogance in his tone:
"No need, I have my own way."
She took out a small bottle from her arms, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip of the contents.
The liquid was amber in color and had a familiar sweet aroma.
It looks like honey.
Shibi glanced at her, said nothing, and took back the leaves.
Kai didn't say anything, and glanced at Suzumebachi lightly.
He could tell that this little girl wanted to be strong.
She is the same age as Shibi, but she doesn't want to bow down in front of the Aburame Clan and wants to show off her abilities.
It's not hard to guess what he was thinking, and Kai didn't intend to expose it.
It is not a bad thing for young people to compete with each other.
The three of them continued to go deeper.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the lavender miasma is entangled among the trees like a veil, and the dead leaves under your feet make a soft sound when stepped on.
There is a dull atmosphere in the air.
Various insects can be seen crawling and flying on trees, between rocks, and in piles of rotting leaves.
They were so densely packed that it seemed as if every inch of the entire forest was occupied by insects.
Kai took a few breaths and silently sensed the ingredients in the miasma.
The toxicity is indeed not light. If inhaled in large quantities, it will have the effect of paralyzing the nerves in a short time. Over time, it may affect the mind.
For ordinary people, this place is almost a restricted area of life.
But the two people in front of me are both from the insect clan, and each has his own way of dealing with it.
Kai himself didn't even care.
After walking not far, Shibi suddenly stopped and stretched out his palm forward.
As he moved, densely packed small bugs flew out from his cuffs, collar, and fingertips.
Like a fine black mist, it split into several strands and quickly dispersed in different directions.
Some fell on tree trunks, some got into piles of fallen leaves, and some flew deeper into the valley.
It quickly disappeared into the purple mist.
Shibi explained:
"The ones I released are exploration insects. They are very fast and can sense Chakra fluctuations."
"They will transmit back the location of nearby insect gatherings..."
Kai nodded slightly.
Shibi is professional when it comes to finding bugs.
He doesn't need outsiders to intervene, he can just wait.
However, Suzumebachi next to him narrowed his eyes.
She didn't speak, but she bit her finger and moved her hands quickly Hand Seals:
"Summoning Technique!"
The white smoke dispersed.
Hundreds of Ninja Bees appeared out of thin air in front of Suzumebachi.
Those bees were three times larger than ordinary bees, and they circled densely around the girl, making a low buzzing sound.
Suzumebachi looked back at Shibi.
"I can also help you find it."
"My Ninja Bees can smell the scent of living things for miles around. No matter how many bugs there are in this place, we can't escape their pursuit."
Kai looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Suzumebachi is more powerful than Shibi.
Aburame Clan had just released the scouting bees, and she immediately released her own chasing bees.
It's clear that I don't want to fall behind others.
Kai doesn't care, let her go if she wants to compete.
This might be more efficient.
Shibi did look at Suzumebachi one more time, but he didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
Then he withdrew his gaze and waited quietly.
The place was quiet for about seven or eight minutes.
Suddenly, Suzumebachi's face showed a hint of joy. "Found it!"
Kai's eyes lit up. "So fast?"
Shibi frowned slightly:
"Rinkaichū is very special and extremely rare in the valley."
"But there is a bug that is almost identical to it, called Fake Bikōchū, but it has no tracking ability."
Suzumebachi heard this and was a little unconvinced. "How do you know what I'm looking for is fake?"
Shibi shook his head:
"It's nothing, I just reminded you."
"Usually when we look for Rinkaichū, it takes a long time to find one."
"But maybe you're lucky."
This was said very calmly, without ridicule or concession.
Suzumebachi looked a little better, snorted, and took the lead in walking in one direction:
"You'll know if it's true or not."
Kai followed immediately, and when passing by Shibi, he patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice:
"The little girl is not bad, but she is a little bit competitive. Don't be like her."
Shibi grinned. "Don't worry, she is your friend. For your sake, I will definitely let her go."
Kai laughed and punched him lightly:
"Okay, you kid, you're pretty good at it."
"When I find the bug, I'll catch up with you."
Shibi nodded, and the two of them followed the girl in front who had walked away.
