Senju Chen stood on the edge of Poison Mist Swamp, replaying the words of the mysterious little snake repeatedly in his mind.
"Don't go to Snake Cave Abyss. There are things you want there, but there are also prices you can't afford."
He touched the blood mark on his neck.
But the more he was warned "don't go", the more curious he became, but Senju Chen was not a fool. Magic God Bloodline was sealed, and there were about 20 hours left. Ninjutsu could not use most of it. He only relied on Sharingan and War God Body. He would be very passive when encountering real difficulties.
"Forget it, let's walk around the perimeter first."
Senju Chen turned around and left Poison Mist Swamp, walking back along the passage from which he came.
Ryūchi Cave's outer area is very large, and he had only explored less than a third of it before.
Now I just have time to continue gathering wool.
Anyway, these snakes will bite anyone they see, so Senju Chen doesn't have to look for them everywhere.
After walking for about ten minutes, Senju Chen came to an underground canyon.
There are steep rock walls on both sides of the canyon, and piles of rocks below. There is a faint smell of blood in the air.
Senju Chen Sharingan After scanning, there are seven or eight medium-sized snakes hidden in the gaps in the rock wall and behind the piles of rocks. Each one has thick arms and a body length of five or six meters. Their aura is not weak. They are all between Chunin to Jonin.
And--
They are surrounding themselves.
Senju Chen stopped and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
These snakes have some brains and know how to cooperate in siege.
The next second--
A hissing sound suddenly sounded.
Seven or eight Orochi came out of their hiding places at the same time and pounced on Senju Chen with their fangs open.
Extremely fast and well coordinated.
One attacks from the front, two outflank from the flanks, three block the retreat, and two coil up on the rock wall to prepare for a sneak attack.
Senju Chen stood still and did not move.
The pupil of the left eye surges with power.
The world turns around.
Gray sky, gray ground.
The figures of seven or eight snakes were frozen in the Genjutsu space for a moment.
Senju Chen slowly raised his hand and tapped his fingertips in the air a few times, as if moving chess pieces on a chessboard.
In Genjutsu space, he "adjusted" each snake's perception of the target.
The snake biting from the front thought it was aiming at Senju Chen's neck, but it was actually aiming at the snake outflanking it on the left.
The snake outflanking on the left thought it was going to bite Senju Chen's waist, but in fact it was going to bite the snake outflanking on the right.
The snake outflanking me on the right thought it was going to bite Senju Chen's leg, but in fact it was going to bite the snake blocking the retreat.
And so on.
Seven or eight snakes, each one thought it was attacking Senju Chen.
Actually--
They are attacking each other.
Seven snakes jumped out at the same time.
Then--
The one on the front bites the snake on the left side on its neck.
The one on the left bites the tail of the snake on the right with his backhand.
The snake on the right turns its head and bites towards the road closure.
The two snakes that sneaked up on the rock wall pounced down at the same time and bit their companions.
In an instant, the canyon was in chaos.
Seven or eight snakes bit like crazy, their scales shattered, and their fangs pierced the flesh.
Hisses, screams, and the sounds of broken bones mixed together.
The smell of blood was so strong that it was choking.
Senju Chen stood three meters away with his hands in his pockets and tilted his head to watch the show.
The snakes fought for almost a minute before they realized something was wrong.
Why do you bite all your own people?
Why is that human still standing there watching the show?
The leading cyan Orochi suddenly shook off its companion and raised its head.
The vertical pupils stared at Senju Chen.
"Human... what have you done?"
"I didn't do anything." Senju Chen looked innocent. "You guys started the fight yourself."
Cyan Orochi was stunned for two seconds.
Then furious.
"Seeking death!"
It pounced towards Senju Chen, twice as fast as before.
Several other snakes also reacted and rushed together.
Senju Chen sighed.
"I don't have a long memory."
The left eye's pupil power surged again.
Genjutsu space expansion.
This time he did not let the snakes bite each other, but "adjusted" their perception of direction.
Make them think they are rushing forward, but actually they are spinning in circles.
From the outside it looks like--
Seven or eight snakes were running wildly, their tails lashing the ground, menacingly.
But the location hasn't changed at all.
Senju Chen Go around to the side and squat down.
"You continue."
The snakes ran for almost half a minute and finally stopped.
The leader, the cyan Orochi, was breathing heavily, his vertical pupils filled with fear.
"What kind of sorcery does this man use..."
"Lao Liu, why are you biting me?"
"Attack that human, what do you want me to do!"
"Why can't I attack that human!"
"..."
[Ding! The target creature 'Ryūchi Cave Spirit Snake·Green Scale' has been detected to have violent mood swings, and the list of stealable abilities has been refreshed!]
[A: Scale Regeneration(Intermediate)]
[B: Fang Enhancement(Intermediate)]
[C: Snake Pressure(Intermediate)]
"Choose A."
[Stealing successful! Host gains ability: Scale Regeneration (intermediate)]
[Scale Regeneration (Intermediate)×War God Body: Compatibility--High (91%).]
[Integration successful!]
Senju Chen It feels like the surface of the skin is slightly warm.
War God Body's self-healing ability has been improved again.
He continued to scan the system's steal panel.
Fang Enhancement, Snake Pressure, enhanced perception, increased speed...
Everything related to the improvement of the physical body is integrated into War God Body.
Although each ability improvement is not big, the little things add up to a lot.
The current comprehensive strength of War God Body is at least 30% stronger than when it first entered Ryūchi Cave.
Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction.
It's so cool to pluck wool.
Just when he was about to leave--
An old voice came from the depths of the canyon.
"That's enough."
Senju Chen stopped.
The snakes also froze.
An khaki old snake slowly swam out from the depths of the canyon.
It is small in size, only more than two meters long. Its body is blue and its scales are dull.
But the breath--
Senju Chen's pupils shrank.
The aura of this old snake is stronger than all the snakes encountered before.
Even stronger than the three sisters in Sanguan.
No.
Not simply strong, but... thick.
Like a rock that has been deposited for thousands of years, it makes people breathless.
The old snake swam to a stop three meters in front of Senju Chen.
Golden vertical pupils stared at him with complex expressions.
"He is actually someone recognized by White Snake Sage..."
"Boy, you have been recognized by the immortals. Why don't you accept the inheritance instead of wandering around Ryūchi Cave?"
Its voice is very soft, but every word is clearly heard.
"Senior, this is my first time to Earth Dragon Cave, so I walked around." Senju Chen said while looking at this khaki old snake.
"Junior Senju Chen, I have met my senior."
The old snake didn't say anything, but just stared at the blood mark on Senju Chen's neck for a long time.
Then sighed.
"You look like a person."
Senju Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Who?"
"A... human being who came to Ryūchi Cave a long, long time ago."
The old snake's voice was erratic.
"That person also has a special pair of eyes."
Special eyes?
Senju Chen was shocked. Could it be that he was also talking about people from the Uchiha Clan or other people with some special bloodline?
The old snake suddenly raised his head and stared into Senju Chen's eyes.
"Sage of Six Paths also came here back then."
Boom.
Senju Chen's mind exploded.
Sage of Six Paths?
Sage of Six Paths actually came to Ryūchi Cave!!!
