"Forget about me! It's too dangerous here. Get out, now!"
After waking up, Ye Lingbo recognized Luo Yu and grew agitated.
Her weak voice traveled into the observation room through the Culture Vessel's built-in voice system.
"Didn't I tell you? As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."
"We're comrades, after all."
Luo Yu smiled calmly, then quoted the famous line Obito had used to win Kakashi over.
"Those who don't cherish their comrades are worse than trash."
Ye Lingbo was instantly moved. In her dreams, she had heard Lord Kakashi say those words countless times.
So Luo Yu knew them too!
The next moment, Luo Yu smashed the Culture Vessel with a punch and gathered the soaking-wet Ye Lingbo into his arms.
Ye Lingbo closed her eyes in relief and lost consciousness again.
Days of inhumane experiments had left her utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
All she wanted now was to lie quietly in Luo Yu's warm embrace.
A crimson glint flashed in Luo Yu's right eye, and Ye Lingbo was drawn into the Kamui Dimension.
Turning around, he saw the Thousand-Bone Nether Dragon wildly sprouting sharp bone spikes in the testing ground outside and firing them at everyone.
The Ice Crystal Puppet had already shattered, and the Mechanical Colossus was short-circuiting under the relentless attacks.
Tobi's new toy and portable charger-the Demonic Voice Snake Woman-had also been skewered by bone spikes like meat on a stick.
The Anbu trio lay battered atop Thunder Bishamonten.
Only Tobi, who had hidden underground with the Mayfly Technique, and Luo Qingyu, who had protected herself with Needle Jizo, could still fight.
It seemed there really was a considerable gap between first- and second-stage Ninshu.
Of course, potential mattered most of all.
The Thousand-Bone Nether Dragon had legendary potential.
