Tagorihime put away his complicated expression and thought for a while.
"The snakes in the outer area are divided into three levels."
"The outermost ones are ordinary poisonous snakes. They are not strong, but they are numerous and highly poisonous."
"The middle level is a spiritual snake, with certain wisdom, and can use simple Ninjutsu."
"The innermost layer is a vicious snake. Its strength is close to Elite Jonin. It has a bad temper and bites everyone it sees."
Senju Chen Write it down silently.
"And--" Tagorihime added, "There are several special places in the outer area, so it's best not to wander in."
"For example?"
"Poison Mist Swamp, the concentration of poison is so high that even I don't want to go in."
"Snake Bone Wasteland, filled with the corpses of losers, has a strong yin energy and can easily attract vicious snakes to attack."
"And..." Tagorihime paused, "Snake Cave Abyss."
"That is the oldest area of Ryūchi Cave. It is said that even White Snake Sage rarely goes there."
"I don't know what's inside."
"But I advise you not to go."
Senju Chen raised his eyebrows.
Even Tagorihime said so...
There must be something there.
But he didn't show it, he just nodded.
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."
Tagorihime stared at him for two seconds and suddenly smiled.
"Little devil, if you really become the weather in the future..."
"Don't forget that I let you go today."
Senju Chen felt something in his heart.
What does this mean?
Are you investing in advance?
Or are you hinting at something?
But Senju Chen didn't ask any more questions.
"Junior will remember."
He turned around and left the stone chamber, walking along the passage to the outskirts of Ryūchi Cave.
The environment in the outer area is completely different from that inside.
There is no golden light, no neat stone chamber.
There are rocks, vines, water and rotting bones everywhere.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and rancidity.
Senju Chen was walking in a narrow passage, with sticky moss underfoot.
Sharingan turns on automatically.
Three-Tomoe rotated in its eye sockets, seeing the surrounding environment clearly.
There are snakes everywhere on the walls and ceiling.
The small one is only as thick as a finger, and the big one is as thick as an arm.
Densely packed, like a living web.
Senju Chen Keep moving forward.
After walking for about five minutes, a hissing sound suddenly came from ahead.
An arm-thick Aoda emerged from the crack in the stone, opening its mouth to reveal its sharp fangs.
Senju Chen stopped.
Aoda stared at him, with a cold light shining in his vertical pupils.
"Human..."
It spoke.
"The human who broke into Ryūchi Cave..."
"Be my food."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aoda rushed over.
Extremely fast.
But in Senju Chen and Sharingan, the speed is as slow as slowing down the camera.
Senju Chen sideways.
Aoda jumped into the air and hit the stone wall behind him.
Senju Chen raised his hand and struck Aoda's seven inches with a knife.
Click.
The sound of a broken spine.
Aoda softened.
[Ding! Violent fluctuations in the target creature's emotions have been detected, and the list of stealable abilities has been refreshed!]
[A: Venom Enhancement(Intermediate)]
[B: Snake Perception(Intermediate)]
[C: Scale Hardening(Intermediate)]
Senju Chen chose A.
[Stealing successful! Host gains ability: Scale Hardening (intermediate level)]
Now that Magic God Bloodline is sealed, we can only extract the abilities related to physical defense first. Senju Chen merged Scale Hardening into War God Body.
Although the improvement is not huge, it is better than nothing.
He kept walking forward.
In the next half hour, Senju Chen encountered more than a dozen snakes.
Some took the initiative to attack, while others tried to escape.
But the result is the same - being knocked unconscious by Senju Chen.
Senju Chen picked out a few useful abilities to steal, and integrated them all into War God Body.
Although the improvement of each ability is not big, the little things add up to a lot.
The comprehensive strength of War God Body is steadily increasing.
Senju Chen thought to himself that Ryūchi Cave is really a good place to brush up skills. Unlike Mount Myōboku, where you have to take the initiative to challenge yourself, just walk here and a lot of skills will be delivered to your door.
After walking for another ten minutes, Senju Chen came to a relatively open space.
It looks like a huge cave with several natural vents at the top and weak light pouring down from above.
The ground was littered with corpses.
Human, animal, snake.
Senju Chen felt something in his heart.
This is the "Snake Bone Wasteland" that Tagorihime said?
He walked forward cautiously.
Broken bones were stepped on underfoot, making a crunching sound.
Suddenly--
A strong killing intent came from the side.
Senju Chen's pupils shrank and his body retreated violently.
The next second, a huge snake's tail swept over and passed in front of him.
Boom!
The snake's tail hit the ground, causing broken bones to fly.
Senju Chen stood firm and looked up.
A huge black snake coiled in the center of the cave.
It is at least thirty meters long, its body is pitch black, and its scales glow with a metallic sheen.
A pair of vertical pupils stared at Senju Chen, his eyes cold and cruel.
"Human..."
Black Snake spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
"No human has dared to break into this place for a long time."
Senju Chen moved his wrist.
"Looks like I'm lucky."
Black Snake laughed.
"Good luck? Kid, did you make a mistake?"
"It is your greatest misfortune to break into this place."
"Because--"
The black snake's body suddenly expanded, and its momentum surged.
"I will slowly torture you and then eat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black snake moved.
It is faster than all the snakes encountered before.
The snake's tail is like a whip, lashing towards Senju Chen continuously.
Senju Chen does not retreat but advances.
War God Body operates at full strength, and the body's reaction speed is stretched to the extreme.
He dodged the first whip.
Move sideways to avoid the second whip.
Raise your hand to block the third whip.
Then--
Senju Chen rushed towards the black snake, his fist Lightning Release Chakra surged.
"Lightning Release·Thunder Fist!"
Boom!
The fist hit the black snake's belly, and the lightning exploded.
The black snake groaned and stepped back two meters.
But it wasn't hurt.
A layer of black light appeared on the scales, completely neutralizing Senju Chen's attack.
"That's it?" Black Snake sneered, "Kid, you are too weak."
Senju Chen squinted his eyes, thinking in his mind.
This Orochi has good strength, just in time to test the ability of my left eye.
Senju Chen's left eye suddenly changed, Three-Tomoe rotated, and the pattern instantly transformed into the complex pattern of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Black Scale suddenly flicked its tail towards Senju Chen. The movement seemed to it to be as fast as lightning.
But Senju Chen stood there and tilted his head.
This tail twitch is too slow.
He raised his hand, lightly patted the side of the snake's tail, and pushed it slightly.
Black Scale's attack direction was deflected, and the snake's tail hit the stone wall next to it, causing rubble to fly.
Black Scale is confused.
What's going on?
I was clearly aiming at this brat's head, why did I miss it?
It didn't believe in evil, so it rushed towards me with its mouth wide open, its fangs gleaming coldly.
Senju Chen yawned and flashed, appearing three meters away from Black Scale.
He's useless Flying Thunder God.
Just in the Genjutsu space, I slightly "adjusted" the attack direction of Black Scale, and then walked away slowly.
In the eyes of the outside world, it was Senju Chen who teleported to avoid the attack.
Black Scale was completely angry.
"Kid, don't hide!"
