Chapter 757: Mutsuki's Uneasiness!
Chapter 757: Mutsuki's Uneasiness!
Labyrinth!
The area where the Dragon Ground Hole was located was indeed an underground maze.
Countless intricate caverns and stone pillars divided the area almost completely.
Without Douhei leading the way, finding the correct path forward would have been impossible.
They didn't take a detour, by the way.
If they had, there would have been no way to enter the Dragon Ground Hole.
Slippery moss was everywhere, making people feel uncomfortable.
However, this place was a paradise for serpents, and it was indeed extremely unsuitable for humans.
Douhei had already prepared for the renovation in his heart.
If they were to occupy the Dragon Ground Hole, it would become their territory, and he wouldn't continue to maintain the current environment.
He had brought only two thousand of the three thousand-strong Ninja Army with him.
The remaining one thousand served as a reserve force and also protected the five ground effect flying vehicles.
The ninjas were quick at killing snakes; even without using ninjutsu, they could easily handle serpents that darted out from tricky angles with just kunai.
In this peripheral area, forget about serpents that mastered chakra, even those with little control over natural energy were among the strongest, with the 'Catastrophic Anaconda' being a step above the rest.
Before Douhei's time travel, a serpent as thick as a desk was practically invincible.
But in the Ninja World?
Even a low-level ninja, with proper preparation, could handle it alone.
After all, every ninja in Skyguard Tower possessed 'Explosive Tags'.
Not to mention being able to pierce serpent eyes with kunai!
For agile ninjas, this was not an impossible task.
As long as they kept their composure.
So, as the troops advanced, they left behind a trail of serpent corpses, and even if someone was poisoned, the tactical belts were already equipped with antidotes, preventing any casualties.
"Open!"
Douhei lightly touched the stone wall in front of him, revealing a cave behind it with a serpent eagle above and a serpent head biting a scroll engraved with the three characters 'Dragon Ground Hole'.
They had arrived!
This was the entrance to the Dragon Ground Hole, one of the Three Holy Sites.
"During the upcoming battle, Gou E and Shou will be in command!"
Douhei glanced at the group of powerful individuals around him and then handed over the command authority to the two burly men.
Both of them had undergone the Ascension Surgery, and their stature was at least two meters tall, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Moreover, don't be fooled by their appearance; they were not just brutes but had a keen eye for detail. If one were to truly assess their abilities, they would undoubtedly rank among the top in Skyguard Tower.
That's why Douhei felt at ease entrusting the command to them.
"Yes, sir!" 2
Yamazaka Houshi and Uchiha Shou both understood that this was not the time to decline, so they nodded simultaneously.
As they passed through the entrance into the Dragon Ground Hole, a stench of blood mixed with the freshness of natural energy hit them.
The stench was unique to serpents, while the freshness came from the natural energy.
The dense natural energy proved how ideal the environment was here.
Hiss!!
Several serpents as thick as houses slithered out from the side caves, their chilly serpent eyes gleaming with a hunting light.
And this seemed to be a signal.
Various snakes of different colors and sizes emerged from the surrounding caves.
Compared to the serpents outside, most of those in the Dragon Ground Hole had mastered chakra and natural energy, possessing a rudimentary form of 'wisdom'.
Otherwise, they would have pounced on them instinctively.
Soon, they were surrounded by serpents with their tongues flicking, staring at them with chilly eyes.
Even those with poor eyesight could tell that these serpents were entirely different from the ordinary ones outside.
More deceitful and dangerous!
This was where the real test began.
Douhei didn't make any other moves; he just stood still in his original position because he sensed several Thunder God Markers approaching.
In other words, Mutsuki, Ten Thousand Serpents, and Koushi were on their way.
As for Bunta?
Sorry, Douhei hadn't placed a marker on him.
But it was obvious that he wouldn't appear here.
If he had come here, these serpents would have devoured him long ago.
Serpents could eat toads!
'But why hasn't the White Snake Sage taken action?'
Douhei didn't believe that their arrival would escape the White Snake Sage's notice.
Although the Sage hadn't made a move in the original plot, his strength was undoubtedly not weaker than the Great Toad Sage, or else they wouldn't be considered one of the Three Holy Sites.
Peak Hyper Shadow!
This was definitely the level he was at.
So, this time, he had specially prepared a 'surprise' for his opponent.
With Hyuga Tsukimi and Uchiha Yaya by his side, one possessing the Eternal Mangekyou and the other the Reincarnation Eye, both with terrifying combat power and bloodline limits.
Not to mention the White Snake Sage, even the peak version of the Great Pillar could give it a shot. So, Tang Ping was truly unafraid of the White Snake Sage's tricks; he was only afraid that the opponent wouldn't play along.
"Tsukimi?"
He turned to look at Hyuga Tsukimi behind him, only to receive a shake of her head in response.
The cave walls of Dragon Ground Hole, filled with natural energy, were naturally solid barriers. Not only were they incredibly sturdy, but they also blocked perception and reconnaissance, preventing the Reincarnation Eye from taking effect.
If the Reincarnation Eye couldn't scout, finding the White Snake Sage would be troublesome.
However, Tang Ping wasn't in a hurry. He didn't believe that the White Snake Sage would not show up.
If it dared to appear, it would be signing its death warrant.
Soon, a one-eyed crimson serpent with reverse scales appeared.
Koushi!
And in another cave next to Koushi, a giant serpent with purple and black stripes and a horned head emerged.
Ten Thousand Serpents!
It was also Orochimaru's summoning beast, with strength comparable to Koushi.
In the middle of the two giant serpents, Mutsuki, who had returned to normal but looked a bit weak, was floating.
Suspended at the center of the two giant serpents, its face was extremely unpleasant.
There was no way; no matter who it was, seeing the enemy who had slaughtered so many of their kin on the previous battlefield and almost killed them, their expression couldn't help but be grim.
"Uchiha Tang Ping, you dare to come here, aren't you afraid of death?"
Mutsuki threatened, trying to seize the initiative.
However, upon careful consideration, one could sense a hint of bluffing.
Because snakes were cunning and deceitful, and when facing enemies, they would undoubtedly launch a surprise attack and ambush without hesitation, just like the snake swarm outside Dragon Ground Hole. When would they ever engage in verbal sparring?
"Since you, Dragon Ground Hole, dare to break your promise and attack me, I naturally have to collect the 'interest.' Besides, if you could kill me, you wouldn't need me to cause trouble!"
Tang Ping spoke slowly and calmly, clearly giving the Dragon Ground Hole side time to prepare.
Especially the White Snake Sage! Even if the opponent ambushed him, he wouldn't back down.
The most concerning was if the opponent didn't take action; that would be troublesome.
With a hidden White Snake Sage, how could Tang Ping possibly feel at ease?
Therefore, even if they suffered significant losses today, they had to take care of the opponent.
"You... you shouldn't be so smug. With the White Snake Sage here, you are destined to be buried here today!"
Mutsuki was somewhat at a loss for words.
Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest blade!
The current Dragon Ground Hole, having lost so many of its kin and even two of Mutsuki's sisters, had long lost its strength to rival Skyguard Tower.
Even with the advantage of terrain and their deep reverence for the White Snake Sage, Mutsuki's heart was pounding, feeling uncertain about defending Dragon Ground Hole and even considering how to escape.
The cunning and venomous snakes lacked the courage to sacrifice themselves for the sake of protecting their sacred ground.
"Is that so? Then let the White Snake Sage come out!"
Tang Ping's gaze, sharp as a knife, fixed on Mutsuki, and he noticed that her eyes seemed to avoid meeting his.
Was there a problem?
He knew that this attack on Dragon Ground Hole might encounter some complications.
However, it was no big deal; as long as Rikudo couldn't make a personal appearance, Tang Ping was confident that Dragon Ground Hole was as good as defeated.
Especially today, with his comrades by his side, he didn't need to conceal his Earth Style Jutsu like before, and his strength would be even more formidable.
Mutsuki struggled to suppress the increasingly restless snake swarm while buying time.
Because the White Snake Sage was preparing his trump card.
Originally, time wouldn't be so tight, but who could have predicted that the opponent would arrive so quickly?
Sensing that Mutsuki was trying to stall, Tang Ping naturally wouldn't let her have her way.
So, he signaled with his hand.
"Attack!"
Yamazaka Houshi and Uchiha Shou led their troops in a proactive attack.
Tang Ping, accompanied by Hyuga Tsukimi and Uchiha Yaya, charged towards Mutsuki.
