Natsume left the temple.
And standing outside the temple, he couldn't help but glance back.
hard to imagine.
In such a gray and filthy world, there are actually intelligent creatures existing.
Well……
It's not appropriate to call it a living thing.
demon? Corpses? Or a ghost?
Endless underworld water, broken buildings, ancient temples and statues...
etc.
Natsume became more and more curious about the identity of the 'ghost priest'.
I am also increasingly curious about the secrets hidden in this world...
Natsume told Natsume intuitively.
The secrets about this world that the Otsutsuki Moto family tries their best to hide and seal.
Once exposed or detonated.
It will definitely bring great impact or disaster to the royal family and even the entire Otsutsuki clan.
How could Natsume miss such an interesting thing?
In comparison, the Japanese-style [small vault] does not seem so attractive.
Ahem...
[Little Treasury] is still very tempting.
It's just that you've already got it, so there's no need to rush.
The fat that reaches your mouth may escape.
But the meat that has been swallowed into the stomach cannot escape again?
Besides, Natsume has already sensed it.
The Japanese originally set layers of seals on the [magatama gemstone] to ensure the safety of the [small vault].
If you want to fully unravel it, it will take dozens of minutes at least.
It’s better to wait until you leave here and slowly unblock it.
…
Ever since.
Natsume is ready to continue to explore this [Underworld] in depth.
According to what the 'Ghost Priest' just said.
This should be the edge of the so-called "Underworld Country", a remote place that even the royal family of the Otsutsuki family is unwilling to set foot in.
It can be seen that the real core and secret must be further inland.
Natsume was planning to go there and have a look.
But if you continue to go deeper.
The chance of encountering members of the royal family or other aborigines of the [Yellow Spring Country] will be greatly increased.
to this end.
Natsume first activated the ninjutsu [Innocent Confusion], hiding his figure and part of his chakra aura.
Then, he used the secret technique [Yuying Yiming] to hide his own soul aura.
These two techniques.
The former was obtained from the second generation Tsuchikage Mu.
The latter was learned from the memory of Otsutsuki himself.
If the two are used together, it will most likely be enough to hide one's whereabouts.
Unless it is a strong person of the same [Demigod] level.
Otherwise it is basically difficult to find yourself.
What's more, if you really meet a strong person at the level of [demigod].
Any hiding is meaningless; it is better to just run away and leave this [Underworld]!
…
Natsume set off, continuing to move inland.
In order to find out the secrets here as soon as possible.
Natsume deliberately chose a 'Yellow Spring Branch' extending from the [Yellow Spring Sea].
Follow the river all the way deep.
Since the 'Ghost Priest' can rely on the underworld sewage to temporarily revive, it proves that the underworld water here has some magical effect.
Therefore, if you search along the river, you will most likely find more clues.
that's all.
Search along the way.
Natsume followed this tributary for hundreds of kilometers.
During this period, we saw more than a dozen broken towns.
Although there are some subtle differences in the architecture of these towns.
But the overall style is very similar, very similar to the abandoned city at the beginning.
It can be seen that they all come from the same lineage.
They should all belong to that [Yellow Spring Country], right?
And, the deeper you go.
The size of abandoned towns will also become larger.
The largest abandoned city, its scale is even dozens of times greater than that of [Konoha Village].
It is roughly estimated that it can accommodate millions of living beings.
It can be seen that it is huge and majestic.
"These were all destroyed by the Otsutsuki clan?"
"Were all the indigenous people here slaughtered?"
"In order to keep it secret, the entire [Underworld] was sealed off?"
"No! Then why haven't you seen any corpses along the way?"
"Has it all been scraped and disposed of?"
"But, with the arrogance and arrogance of the Otsutsuki clan, they don't even bother to hide their bloodthirsty characteristics, right?"
Natsume was secretly puzzled.
According to Japanese memory, under his command.
The number of planets and lives killed by his team exceeds tens of millions.
How could this royal family spend so much effort just because they were afraid of a false reputation for being bloodthirsty?
This is simply unreasonable!
…
Natsume continued to delve deeper with doubts.
After exploring for thousands of kilometers, Natsume suddenly slowed down.
So he felt it.
In another huge ruined city ahead, there are the auras of dozens of creatures!
Unlike the 'ghost priest', those dozens of breaths have full soul fluctuations and life force.
It should be a living creature.
Natsume immediately activated the [Spiritual Transformation Technique] and further sensed it carefully.
Be prepared to observe the enemy's strength level before deciding whether to continue to approach.
"They are all members of the Otsutsuki Moto family royal family from outside?"
"No, there can't be so many!"
"And most of them have very weak soul aura, and they seem to die suddenly at any time."
"It is impossible for the souls of members of this royal family to weaken like this..."
"Only three soul auras are stronger?"
"The strongest one doesn't seem to have reached the [demigod] level, otherwise he should have discovered me."
"Very good, still within control."
"You can try to take a closer look."
After determining the enemy's overall strength level, Natsume chose to continue approaching.
Soon, he arrived at the center of the abandoned city.
And using the surrounding abandoned buildings and his own 'invisibility', he lurked and observed.
…
The vast Huangquan tributary runs through the entire abandoned city.
In the center of the abandoned city is a huge square divided by rivers.
On the square.
There are dozens of dark metal stands standing there.
More than twenty monsters with weird shapes were tied to the torture rack.
The protruding steel thorns on the torture frame penetrated their bodies, and combined with the restraint of strength, they could not break free at all.
beside.
Three members of the royal family of the Otsutsuki family, all dressed in white and elegant, were commanding five slaves.
Non-stop, spoonful after spoonful of Huangquan sewage was poured out from the Huangquan tributary.
Forced into the mouths of those demons who were nailed to the torture rack.
Those monsters are polluted and corroded by the water of the underworld.
He even lost consciousness and couldn't even scream or wail...
It was clearly a torture within a torture.
But the whole scene was extremely quiet, and no one spoke.
There was only the constant sound of fetching and pouring water.
Coupled with the weird black and white color, it looks even more terrifying and disgusting.
