White Snake Sage: Come Visit Often
Ryūchi Cave.
One of the Three Great Sage Lands of the Spirit Beast Realm.
Equally renowned is Mount Myōboku Toad Clan beasts. Shikkotsu Forest contains only one giant Katsuyu, which can multiply into countless forms.
Compared to the other two, the danger of Ryūchi Cave is unmatched.
Because the spirit beasts of Ryūchi Cave are snakes—red, green, blue, purple, poisonous and non-poisonous—they're all here.
In short...
Although Ryūchi Cave is named after a dragon, it is actually a snake cave.
The ocean is all water.
Ryūchi Cave is full of snakes.
Although Ryūchi Cave is named after a "cave".
However, the "hole" here refers to a snake's nest.
When Miya entered this place using the Reverse Summoning Technique, he found himself in a large, dense forest.
"This is Ryūchi Cave, but this place is in the outer area. The White Snake Sage I told you about lives in the very center."
Orochimaru reminded Miya in a hoarse voice.
Ryūchi Cave, Mount Myōboku, and Shikkotsu Forest are known as sacred sites in the world of summoned beasts. While this is undoubtedly related to the strength of their species, the most important factor is that they all possess hermits.
The White Snake Sage is the immortal of Ryūchi Cave.
"The snake I caught for you came from here."
Orochimaru, who was leading Miya forward, suddenly stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked at the towering trees around him.
"Arrest at will?"
Miya's eyes lit up, filled with excitement.
"Grab anyone you want."
As soon as they finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared above their heads. It was a giant adult python with its terrifying mouth wide open, lunging at Orochimaru.
A pair of snake eyes gleamed with the ferocity of a carnivore.
However, snakes like these are extremely common in Ryūchi Cave. Unless they evolve intelligence, they are destined to become food.
Bang.
An adult's fist appeared and slammed hard into the giant snake's head.
The next moment, blood splattered everywhere.
Orochimaru smashed the python's head.
Let's go!
As if he had done something insignificant, Orochimaru completely ignored the python's body, which was thrashing and twisting at will.
Following behind Orochimaru, Miya kept looking back, thinking that this giant python could keep him busy for half a day.
However, Miya was able to distinguish between what was important and what was not, and he could not let small things cause him to lose sight of the bigger picture; there were still important matters to attend to.
"You just wait, I'm coming to eat you up!"
Not long after Orochimaru and Miya left, an even larger python appeared. Sensing the presence of food, it quickly swallowed the giant python that Orochimaru had killed.
Neither of them was in a hurry along the way.
Aside from his initial explanation, Orochimaru maintained his aloof attitude and silently led Miya through the land of Ryūchi Cave.
Not long after, about ten minutes later, Miya also met the legendary White Snake Sage.
A rogue white snake who dreams of transforming into a dragon all day long and loves to smoke.
On the throne, a white snake coiled its body, its dark yellow eyes revealing a cold glint. A green cat's eye stone was inlaid on its chest, and a purple ribbon wrapped around its forehead, adorned with military green bull horn-shaped ornaments.
She habitually held a pipe in her mouth, her long white snake body had two golden rings at the end of her tail, the tips of which swayed casually.
When she saw Orochimaru and Miya, her cold, vertical pupils scrutinized Miya, and she spoke in a hoarse female voice just like Orochimaru's.
"Orochimaru, is this the disciple you mentioned?"
Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, revealing a faint, wicked smile:
"Yes, White Snake Sage."
As the White Snake Sage sized her up, Miya was also looking at her.
Even with Miya's strength, he could feel a heavy pressure emanating from the large white snake in front of him.
It was as heavy as a mountain, as cold as a glacier, and even more like a deadly poison.
"A very strong little guy, with a handsome and pretty face."
The moment the White Snake Sage opened her mouth, she revealed her true nature as a rogue snake.
As for the aloofness that belongs to immortals, Miya didn't see it; instead, he felt that she was being a scoundrel.
Facing the White Snake Sage was so close, Miya's lips twitched slightly.
"That rogue snake..."
As the White Snake Sage immortal's body brushed against his skin, Miya felt a slight chill.
I feel like I was taken advantage of by a snake.
The White Snake Sage immortal swiftly shrank back to his human form, leaning back on his throne. He took a leisurely breath and exhaled white mist.
"Very good, I approve of him."
"This kid will be a shaman of Ryūchi Cave from now on."
Miya would gain the Orochimaru White Snake Sage's approval. Maintaining his sinister smile, Orochimaru chuckled nonchalantly.
"As long as the White Snake Sage is happy."
The White Snake Sage took another breath, still maintaining his languid demeanor, and after exhaling another puff of white mist, said to Miya:
"Your name is Miya, right?"
Nodding, Miya looked at the White Snake Sage and replied:
"Yes, I am Miya."
Shaking the ribbon on his head, the White Snake Sage said again:
"Once you're outside, if you like that snake, just catch it and use it. Don't be shy."
Before Miya could react, Orochimaru paused for a moment, then smiled even more wickedly.
"The White Snake Sage likes you very much!"
Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Miya.
"Thank you, White Snake Sage, but no need."
"I have a spirit beast now, her name is Susu, she's a little white snake."
The White Snake Sage Immortal allowed Miya to capture any summoning beast he wanted, so it certainly wouldn't be an ordinary summoning beast. It would definitely be at least at the level of the Manda, and it would certainly be of great help to him.
"Whatever you want. If you change your mind, you can go and catch it again."
Miya strongly suspected that this rogue snake had taken a liking to him.
"Miya, you can go out now! I still have something to discuss with the White Snake Sage."
Miya nodded and replied:
"Alright!"
"White Snake Sage, Orochimaru- sensei, I'll be going now."
Just as Miya was about to turn around, he suddenly heard the White Snake Sage say:
Remember to come visit often!
It's confirmed, that rogue snake has definitely taken a liking to me. Miya felt a chill run down his spine.
Unconsciously, a myth came to mind for Miya.
"I will."
With a composed expression, Miya turned and walked out of the White Snake Sage's palace.
Shaking his head, dispelling the mythical story from his mind, Miya headed towards the outer perimeter of Ryūchi Cave.
"Little snakes, I'm here!"
Miya pursed his lips, his mouth practically watering.
As for what Orochimaru and the White Snake Sage discussed, Miya didn't care at all.
Back in the forest they had come from, Miya looked excitedly at the large blue python coiled under a giant tree.
Looking at its snake body, looking at its form...
Miya's eyes conveyed a single sentence:
"This snake looks delicious."
