Land of Waterfalls, underground experimental base.
Senju Chen's clone pushed open the door of Orochimaru's laboratory, and as usual, the smell of formalin mixed with unknown drugs filled the inside.
Orochimaru was studying something in front of the dissection table. The sound of the scalpel cutting through the tissue was particularly clear in the silent space.
"Teacher."
Orochimaru didn't even raise his head. "You're here so soon? It seems Shikkotsu Forest is making good progress there."
Senju Chen walked to the experimental table. "My sister is keeping a close eye on me and I can't do anything. But I left a mark so I can go by myself next time."
Orochimaru put down the scalpel, turned around, and stared at Senju Chen with his golden vertical pupils, "So you are here to ask for the coordinates of Ryūchi Cave?"
"Yes."
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth. "Little Chen, Ryūchi Cave are different from Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest. Every snake there exists to eat intruders."
"I know." Senju Chen nodded, "Didn't the teacher go there too?"
"I almost died there." Orochimaru's tone was rare and serious, "White Snake Sage's trial has no mercy. Once you enter, you have only two choices - pass the trial, or become food for snakes."
Senju Chen smiled, "That's why the teacher gave me that Cursed Seal to save my life."
Orochimaru was silent for two seconds, then suddenly laughed out loud, "You kid, I really can't hide anything from you."
He took out a scroll from the cabinet under the experimental table. "The coordinates of Ryūchi Cave are here. But there is a prerequisite - you must first sign Summoning Contract with a Ryūchi Cave snake before you can enter with Reverse Summoning."
"Manda is the teacher's psychic beast now, right?"
"Yes." Orochimaru pushed the scroll in front of Senju Chen, "But Manda has a bad temper and is not suitable for you. I have prepared another snake for you."
He made a seal.
White smoke exploded, and a dark blue-black Orochi appeared in the laboratory.
The snake has a thick body, its scales glow with metallic luster, and its vertical pupils stare coldly at Senju Chen.
"This is Aoda." Orochimaru said, "Ryūchi Cave is a blood relative of Tagorihime, one of the three guardian snakes. His personality is easier to control than Manda, and his strength is not weak."
Senju Chen looked at Aoda.
The system beep does not sound.
It seems that stealing can only be triggered if the opponent's mood fluctuates violently or during combat.
"Aoda, his name is Senju Chen, he is my student." Orochimaru said to Aoda, "You will follow him for a while."
Aoda spat out the snake letter, his voice hoarse. "Students of Lord Orochimaru... can barely accept it."
Very arrogant.
Senju Chen sneered in his heart, but nodded politely on the outside. "Thank you, senior Aoda."
"Hmph." Aoda crossed his body and said, "Kid, you'd better not hold me back."
"No."
Orochimaru handed the scroll to Senju Chen: "The coordinates are inside. Use Summoning Contract of Aoda as the medium. You can directly Reverse Summoning enter Ryūchi Cave."
Senju Chen took the scroll. "Thank you, teacher."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Orochimaru's smile was a little playful, "There are three levels in Ryūchi Cave, which are composed of Tagorihime and Guarded by Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime. The three of them are the three strongest snakes under White Snake Sage, and each of them is stronger than Elite Jonin."
"If you want to see White Snake Sage, you must pass their trial."
"And the content of the trial..." Orochimaru paused, "It's the battle."
Senju Chen's eyes lit up.
Fight?
Isn't that just right?
The more you beat, the better it will be.
"Teacher, I understand." Senju Chen put the scroll away, "I'll go now."
"Wait." Orochimaru called him, "Remember, the snakes in Ryūchi Cave are highly venomous. Even if you have a special physique, don't be careless."
"Also..." He glanced at Aoda, "Although Aoda is Ryūchi Cave's snake, it can't help you much after entering. The three guardian snakes will not let it go because of its identity."
"I understand, teacher."
Senju Chen turned and left the laboratory.
Aoda turned into a purple light and wrapped around his arm.
After walking out of the experimental base, the clone of Senju Chen found a hidden place and opened the scroll.
Complex spells were unfolded on the scroll, with a snake-shaped pattern engraved in the center.
Senju Chen bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint on the pattern.
"Reverse Summoning Technique!"
White smoke exploded.
A strong pulling feeling came, and the whole world began to spin.
The vision is blurry and distorted, as if a huge Uzumaki has been stuffed into it.
Then--
Keep your feet on the ground.
OK, although when the main body went to Mount Myōboku before, the clone in the shadow of the sole of the foot was left in the outside world, but if the clone uses Reverse Summoning alone, it can be transmitted directly.
After Senju Chen teleported to Earth Dragon Cave, the first thing he saw was darkness.
It's not the hazy white light of Shikkotsu Forest, nor the bright sunshine of Mount Myōboku.
It's pure black.
The kind of black that makes you unable to see your fingers.
Senju Chen stands firm and Magic God Bloodline operates automatically, sensing the surrounding environment.
It was damp, cold, and there was the sound of water dripping everywhere.
This is a huge underground cave.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the stench of decay.
The ground is slippery and feels sticky when you step on it.
Senju Chen frowned.
This environment was worse than he imagined.
"Kid, welcome to Ryūchi Cave." Aoda's voice rang in my ears, "Next, I wish you good luck."
After saying that, it detached from Senju Chen's arm and turned into a purple light and disappeared into the darkness.
Senju Chen:"..."
Are you afraid of being beaten when you run so fast?
He took a deep breath, and Chakra flooded into his eyes.
Sharingan is on.
Three-Tomoe rotated in his eye sockets, and the scene in the darkness instantly became clear.
Senju Chen saw the surrounding environment clearly.
Huge cave with stalactites hanging from the top and water and rotting bones everywhere on the ground.
Human, animal, and some biological remains that he couldn't recognize.
The walls were covered with densely packed little snakes, each of them staring at him with their eyes open.
If the people here had trypophobia, they would probably be paralyzed on the ground by now.
Is this the welcome ceremony for Ryūchi Cave?
He took two steps forward.
Hisssssss--
The little snake on the wall suddenly moved.
A dense tide of snakes came from all directions, their mouths opened, revealing their sharp fangs.
Senju Chen stopped.
"War God Body" automatically triggers.
His body's reaction speed was instantly increased, and the attack trajectory of each snake was clearly presented in his mind.
Senju Chen did not hide.
He raised his hand and Magic God Bloodline started running.
The water element condenses in the air and turns into countless fine water needles, which are accurately shot at every little snake that rushes towards it.
Puff puff puff--
The water needle penetrated the snake's body, and the little snakes were pinned in mid-air before they even touched Senju Chen.
The body fell to the ground.
