Located at the junction of the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire, it is a forest with dense foliage. Humans are rare here, and ferocious beasts often appear here. Therefore, even experienced hunters from the villages near the forest will not come here specifically to hunt.
In an open land in the hinterland of the forest, Shiraishi was standing here looking around to make sure no one was staring at him. Then he slowly began to form seals, and then quickly slapped his palms to the ground.
"Psychic art!"
Following a sound, a burst of thick white smoke passed by, and a slug the size of a human palm appeared on the ground. The surface of its body showed blue and white colors. The moment it was summoned by the psychic, the slug's head The two tentacles on it moved slightly, as if they were adapting to the outside air with extremely thin natural energy concentration.
"It's been a while, I haven't seen you for a while. I'm sorry to disturb you at this time."
Shiraishi lowered his head, smiled and said hello to the live snake.
"Well, yes, Master Shiraishi, we have indeed been missing for a while... Summoning me at this time, or summoning such a small individual, do you have anything to ask me?"
The living beast seemed to have penetrated Bai Shi's thoughts and asked directly.
If it is for fighting, such a small individual should not be summoned.
With the strength of the senjutsu chakra that Shiraishi mastered at the moment, he could channel at least half of his body when he used all his strength to use the psychic technique.
For humans, this is a very remarkable thing. After all, its body and energy have surpassed the common sense that humans can recognize.
If it were another human contractor, summoning one-tenth of its body would already be the limit.
"I really can't hide anything from you." Bai Shi continued to smile, and not long after the smile on his face disappeared, he said: "Next I want to go to Longdi Cave, but I don't know where to go. How to get there, I can only ask you to show me the way."
"Ryuchi Cave? In other words, has the cooperation agreement between Lord Shiraishi and Yuyin Village collapsed this time?"
Shiraishi's plan to deal with Miaomu Mountain was known to the living beast.
Rather, it expected this kind of thing to happen when Shiraishi got the coordinates to Mt. Myoboku from it.
From its point of view, Miaomushan's position did have some problems, and it suddenly changed its previous neutral behavior.
Based on its understanding of Shiraishi, when it knows that Miaomu Mountain is targeting itself, it will definitely not sit still and wait for death, but will choose to take the initiative.
Although regrettable, the relationship between the Holy Land and the Holy Land is not particularly harmonious. Miao Mushan has made a choice, so naturally he has to pay the due price for this choice. If the Great Toad Immortal really disappears because of this, it will just be the loss of an old friend with whom he can communicate.
And it has met countless such old friends during its thousands of years of existence. The Great Toad Immortal is not the first, nor will he be the last.
The relationship between it and the Great Toad Immortal seems to be a friend, but it seems to be a stranger; it is a stranger, but it seems to have some insignificant friendship.
"Yes, the other party acted very cautiously. Therefore, the only choice left for me now is Longdi Cave."
Shiraishi nodded without hiding anything.
If Nagato hadn't refused, he wouldn't have wanted to come to this point. But in order to deal with Miaomushan and recruit a strong support, this is a necessary preparation. If only the Ghost Country family were to deal with Miaomushan, the risk would be too great.
"Are we going to reach this point in the end? Compared with cooperating with humans, I don't recommend Master Baishi to go to Ryudi Cave to find the White Snake Immortal."
The living beetle said softly.
She remained neutral towards the Great Toad Immortal, but when it came to the White Snake Immortal, her tone revealed some dissatisfaction, or disgust.
"Why, are you having a holiday with the White Snake Immortal?"
Shiraishi asked.
"It's not a holiday. It's just that we, as leaders of the Third Generation Holy Land, have had wars more than once. But it is a war, but in essence it is just that we were provoked by the White Snake Immortal and had to respond. The one we are in In that era, there were very few creatures who could use chakra, let alone freely use senjutsu. Therefore, Gamamaru and I, who were based in the field of senjutsu, were worried by the White Snake Sage."
When the living beetle recounted the past, his tone still revealed a hint of unhappiness.
Obviously those days were not very wonderful for him.
"In order to compete for the so-called strongest name, White Snake Sennin challenged Gamamaru and I. But I felt that this kind of thing was too troublesome and the fight would definitely be endless, so I chose to hide from the world and refused this challenge. "
Shiraishi nodded slightly.
The abilities of the living dragon are basically based on medical magic. Just like him, he is not very good at fighting.
Moreover, with his indifferent nature, it was expected that he would refuse the challenge from the White Snake Immortal.
But his intuition told him that this matter was not over yet.
If the immortal's obsession arises, it will be more terrifying than that of a human being.
Especially this kind of creature that transcends common sense. Not only does its own energy exceed that of a single tailed beast, but it can also use a variety of magical techniques. If it fights, it can be described as earth-shattering.
"Because of rejecting the challenge, the White Snake Immortal felt that his self-esteem was insulted, so he sent his subordinates to constantly harass the wet bone forest where I live, and let them spray corrosive venom everywhere in the wet bone forest, polluting the land of the wet bone forest. It took me a lot of effort to reawaken the vitality of the earth... In order to prevent this from happening again, I had to agree to the challenge of the White Snake Immortal."
"What was the result? Which of you two won?"
"In that battle, neither of us could do anything to the other. Although White Snake Immortal's magic was very strong, my endurance was superior, so it ended in a draw."
The living beetle recalled the past events as if they were still vivid in his mind.
"What happened next? Did the White Snake Immortal just give up?"
"Of course not, but it never came to fight me again. Because I heard that after it challenged me, it also challenged Gamamaru, but was slightly inferior in strength and was defeated by Gamamaru. It seemed unwilling to accept it. After the first failure, it challenged Gamamaru several times, but it was said that each time it was just a miss... After that, I have never heard of it. News of his birth. However, the relationship between Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave also deteriorated, and in the following years, many wars broke out."
"I didn't expect Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave to become enemies in this way."
Shiraishi sighed in an unexpected tone.
"Yeah, but I'm not surprised at all that this happened. White Snake Immortal is the one who is most obsessed with power among the three of us. Therefore, it cannot tolerate the existence of 'failure' in its life. Words. Once you are obsessed with them, it will be very troublesome."
Although the White Snake Immortal, as an immortal, is not as complex and diverse as human beings in the pursuit of desires, as an immortal, it is not without desires and desires - strength and victory are the paths it pursues.
It would be okay if the White Snake Immortal won the battle with the Big Toad Immortal, but once it tastes defeat, it will easily arouse the endless desire to win in its heart. As long as it fails to defeat its old enemy, the Great Toad Immortal, the desire to win in its heart will not disappear, but will become more extreme as time goes by.
Bai Shi felt slightly happy after learning this important information.
Because only such immortals with strong desires can win over.
Although he has not yet met the White Snake Immortal, Huo Li's words undoubtedly increased Baishi's inner confidence in persuading the White Snake Immortal.
"If Mr. Shiraishi wants to go to Ryūchi Cave, you need to be careful. Human beings who have visited Ryūchi Cave in the past have basically never returned. For the psychic beasts there, humans are both contractors and blood food."
The living beetle continued to tell the story about Longdi Cave.
In its view, only humans who are extremely thirsty for power will seek the contract of Longdi Cave.
It is by no means a good place for humans.
"Don't worry. Although I'm not good at fighting, I still have a little confidence in self-protection."
"As long as Mr. Shiraishi is aware of it, then let me lead the way..."
Before the beast finished speaking, the sound of people walking could be heard from the bushes nearby.
The figure walking out of the bushes was none other than Liuli. As soon as she came over, she asked Baishi:
"What's the matter with calling me here? Have you reached an agreement with Yuyin Village?"
Shiraishi turned around, spread his hands helplessly and said, "The talks have broken down. Nagato has more concerns than we do, so it's a bit unrealistic for him to agree."
"Then the current situation is..."
Liuli looked at the live dragon next to Baishi.
"Adopt the alternative plan and pull Longdi Cave into the game."
Shiraishi replied.
"That means we are going to Ryūchi Cave now, right?"
"Yeah, but it's not that simple to convince the White Snake Immortal. There might be a battle by then, so I want you to come with me, so it's safer."
"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to experience the magic of Longdi Cave."
Liuli readily agreed.
Shiraishi knelt down and placed the palm-sized live snake clone on his shoulder.
"Living beast, you will show the way next."
◎
One day later.
According to the directions given by Huoli, Baishi and Liuli finally arrived at the border area of Longdi Cave.
Although it is a border area, the land here is undoubtedly governed by the snakes in Longdi Cave.
In the white mist, dark rocky mountains and huge dead trees that have been eaten away by insects and ants can be seen everywhere. The scenery is desolate, like a barren land that brings death and despair.
The environment here is even harsher than the desert in the Kingdom of Wind.
The bones of humans, beasts, and snakes are half exposed from the soil and half covered by the soil.
Snakes of various colors wriggled and climbed on these white bones, sticking out their tongues and hissing at the white stones and colored glazes walking along the road to the core area of Longdi Cave, as if in warning.
However, due to the terrifying aura captured on Baishi and Liuli, the snakes surrounding them relied on their own sense of danger and did not step forward to stop them. Instead, they only used their voices to warn them to leave.
Shiraishi and Liuli ignored the warnings of the snakes and headed straight towards the center of Ryūchi Cave without stopping.
At this moment, the live snake on Shiraishi's shoulder suddenly said: "Well, Mr. Shiraishi, if we go further, we will almost reach the entrance to the core area of Longdi Cave. The White Snake Immortal lives in the largest temple among them. Keep walking. You can see it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Won't you go in with us?"
Shiraishi was slightly surprised.
"No, I don't want to be entangled with it again, and it's best not to say that you are my contractor, please."
After saying that, the living beetle seemed to be fleeing, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing from Shiraishi's shoulder.
This was the first time for Shiraishi to see the living creature in such a panic. In his impression, the living creature was calm and at ease no matter who or what it faced. However, when facing the White Snake Immortal, this calm attitude instantly collapsed, and Shiraishi had to lament that this White Snake Immortal might be more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
However, Baishi didn't care about this. Since he came to Longdi Cave, he never thought that he could simply convince the White Snake Immortal.
Next, Baishi and Liuli continued walking towards the core area of Ryudi Cave.
The deeper you go, the more desolate the surrounding environment becomes, and the small groups of snakes gradually disappear. Occasionally, a huge black shadow will pass through the thick white mist on the side, revealing lantern-sized luminous eyes, which are vaguely visible. A pied boa constrictor.
Baishi and Liuli had expressionless faces, turning a blind eye to these huge snakes hiding in the mist, but continued to move forward according to their own rhythm.
Their behavior obviously irritated some big snakes in the mist.
Without any warning, a huge snake head broke through the fog blockade, tearing open its bloody mouth at Bai Shi and Liu Li who were walking forward, and let out a terrifying roar.
Its sound also aroused the ferocity of the other big snakes. As if in response to this call, more snake heads rushed out of the mist, curled up their strong bodies that were thicker than buckets, and wrapped around the two people on the road.
The road was blocked by huge groups of snakes on both sides, and even the ground began to crack and rumble, as if some ancient ferocious beast was surging its body underground and launching a fatal blow.
Faced with such a shocking turn of events, Baishi and Liuli remained expressionless.
"A boring temptation."
Liuli stopped and uttered this sentence softly.
Her originally black and white pupils suddenly turned a layer of blood, revealing three dark magatama.
boom!
Without any warning, the dark red sword light slashed across the void.
The surging thunder and lightning immediately roared out from the sword blade, dyeing the surrounding space into a pale and void color.
Countless big snakes were swept away like dust, and their strong bodies could not bring them the slightest sense of security. They were unable to fly far away, and fell heavily to the ground, letting out screams of extreme pain.
As if sensing the absolute power gap between the two sides, the big snakes got into the mist one after another and disappeared without a trace, daring not to stop at all.
Such an exaggerated escape gesture was even more powerful than the attack just now.
Although there was not a single snake corpse on the ground, the smelly and hot blood stained the surrounding land red. It was obvious that the injuries of the escaped snakes were definitely unknown.
The terrifying power on Liuli's body also disappeared completely like a phantom after the instant attack, just like the group of escaping snakes.
If he hadn't felt the powerful chakra flashing from her body, he would have thought that the powerful force that defeated the group of snakes was an attack released by someone else.
The shaking feeling under the ground also disappeared. Although he did not see the specific mood of the big snake underground, Baishi's mind had already sketched the pitiful appearance of the other party motionless and trembling underground.
With Liuli's intimidation, the next journey will be smooth, and no big snake with no eyes will come up to attack.
Although they are all big snakes, there are also hierarchies between big snakes and big snakes.
Abandoned outside Longdi Cave, they are undoubtedly existences like miscellaneous soldiers.
I don’t know how long he walked, but Bai Shi stopped in an open space, raised his head slightly, and looked at the empty land in front of him.
"This is it."
Shiraishi turned to look at Liuli.
Liuli nodded, quickly injected a burst of celestial chakra into his three magatama sharingan eyes, and stared ahead.
"untie!"
Buzz.
The surrounding fog rolled and surged like a tsunami, and the space began to distort, as if something was being pulled out from another space.
Finally, the space stabilized, and a huge temple like a giant city appeared in front of us without warning.
Above the temple gate, there is a huge plaque with the words "Longdi Cave" written on it. On the plaque, a huge white phosphorus snake is carved, wrapping the three words "Longdi Cave".
Shiraishi stared at the golden vertical pupils of the white phosphorus snake. For a moment, a trance appeared in his eyes, creating the illusion that the stone white phosphorus snake seemed like a living creature, rather than a cold sculpture.
"Welcome both of you to Ryūchi Cave."
The clear and sweet girl's voice brought Shiraishi back to reality.
Shiraishi's eyes moved away from the door plaque engraved with 'Ryuji Cave' and turned to the entrance of the temple.
I saw a young girl in white standing at the door, with a golden crown on her head. A white ribbon similar to a feather coat floated around the girl's body as if nothing, matching her delicate and lovely facial features. , filling her whole body with an ethereal and dust-free fairy spirit, just like the goddess in ancient legends.
"My name is Ichikijima, and I am one of the gatekeepers of Ryūchi Cave. Are you two here to meet the White Snake Immortal?"
The girl named Ichikishima Hime squinted her eyes and showed a sweet smile. Both her etiquette and her smile were impeccable.
As if for a moment, Baishi was stunned for a few seconds after the other party asked, and then nodded and answered: "Yes, we have something to do and want to visit the White Snake Immortal. If possible, can you take us to see the Immortal?"
"Of course, since you two have successfully repelled the snakes outside, broken through the illusion between illusion and reality, and found the Longdi Cave Temple, you are naturally qualified to meet the White Snake Immortal. Then, please come with me. "
Ichikishimahime smiled at Shiraishi, then turned around and flew towards the inside of the temple.
Flying, yes, flying.
This girl from the Ryuji Cave named Ichikishima Hime has had her feet suspended in the void from the very beginning, using her magic to fly in the void.
After walking forward for a few minutes with Ichikishimahime, the group stopped in a courtyard.
I saw Ichikijima Hime, who was originally suspended in the air, falling from the sky, her white and tender feet stepping on the cold ground, smiling at Shiraishi and Liuli: "Then, now please two guests enter the guest room and wait a moment. Wait. Immortal White Snake is taking a nap now. After dinner, I will take you two to see Immortal White Snake."
"Then excuse me."
Shiraishi looked at Liuli and asked her what she meant.
"It's already here, and it won't be long now. That's it for the time being."
Liuli nodded, and then walked into the room under the smiling eyes of Ichikishima Hime.
Seeing Liuli entering the room, Baishi was about to walk into the room. Suddenly, a pair of jade arms suddenly wrapped around his body from behind, bringing bursts of alluring fragrance.
Ichikishimahime, who was originally standing next to him, has long since disappeared and appears behind Shiraishi, hugging Shiraishi's body from behind with his arms.
"Um... Miss Immortal, what are you trying to do?"
Shiraishi squinted his eyes back and could see the white feather floating behind him.
"This guest, your guest room is on the other side."
Ichikishimahime's sweet voice sounded from behind.
"Really? If that's the case, then there's no need to pester me like this."
"That's because the guest is so charming and has such a strong body. Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it to do something happy?"
Ichikishimahime's white and tender fingers began to work on her clothes, and her gentle words seemed to melt a person's bones.
"Happy things?"
"Yes, I have been here for hundreds of years, and I am almost dying of loneliness. What do you think, guest, do you want to come and nourish this body that has long been empty and dry?"
"But, this is a courtyard..."
"It doesn't matter. Isn't it more exciting here? So don't worry about the guests so much and let me serve you."
Warm breath blew on Shiraishi's ears, and Ichikishimahime's soft and quiet voice seemed to be whispering in his ears from afar, with the ultimate charm.
A pair of white and tender little hands have touched Bai Shi's face, and the caressing is extremely comfortable, as if he is caressing his beloved thing, so carefully and tenderly.
Then, these gentle and white hands began to move down, touching Bai Shi's neck, and then pulled open the collar, intending to reach into Bai Shi's collar.
Suddenly, Shiraishi grabbed the hands that were about to reach into his collar.
"guest?"
Ichikishimahime's confused voice came from behind.
"Although this kind of illusion is not bad, let's stop the fun, Miss Immortal."
Shiraishi grabbed Ichikishimahime's little hand and squeezed it hard.
Ichikishima-hime's entire body turned into a burst of black smoke and turned into a white ribbon, which appeared in Shiraishi's hand. It was the white feather coat that Ichikishima-hime was wearing.
This white feather coat is also wrapped around Shiraishi's neck. If it is not stopped in time, sooner or later, his neck will be strangled and he will suffocate to death.
"Oh, this guest is really powerful. Over the years, there are only a few people who can solve my illusion. I am really becoming more and more satisfied with you."
Ichikishimahime, who was floating in mid-air and had not moved a step from the beginning, still showed an innocent and harmless smile to Shiraishi, as if she was not the one who wanted to strangle Shiraishi with her hagoromo just now.
"No need, I'm a family man."
"What's so good about that kind of cold woman? You can't understand the mood at first sight."
Ichikishima-hime touched her face with both hands, lying in the void, swaying her feet like a little girl, giggling.
"Really? However, I think Miss Sento is very innocent. If I don't use illusions to replace myself with the feather clothes on my body, but use my true body, I may not be able to break the illusion."
Shiraishi started to comment.
Hearing these words, Ichikishimahime's sweet smile suddenly froze, and then she glared at Shiraishi, her face turned slightly red, and her eyes showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Forget it, stop playing, hand over all the senjutsu chakra in your body!"
Ichikijima Hime knew that she couldn't defeat Shiraishi with genjutsu, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and make Shiraishi's powerful senjutsu chakra her own.
She straightened her body in the void, clasped her hands together, and began to mobilize the magic chakra in her body. A dangerous aura emerged from all around her body, rushing toward Bai Shi overwhelmingly.
"After all, I am also one of the elders of Ryūchi Cave. Before I absorb your extremely pure magical chakra, don't die easily, human!"
Saying that, Ichikijima Hime prepared to use the senjutsu gathered in her hands to hit Shiraishi.
boom!
A dark red sword flashed and struck between Shiraishi and Ichikijima Hime.
A gust of wind blew up, and the surrounding courtyard walls and houses were all reduced to ashes in an instant, turning into dust and blowing into the distance.
Ichikijima Hime quickly interrupted her senjutsu and flew towards the sky to avoid being involved in this sudden attack.
Thick smoke rolled on the ground, and the originally magnificent courtyard had long since disappeared and turned into a ruin.
The rolling dust dissipated, and a huge warrior made of chakra was seen standing on the ruins. The huge warrior held a dark red sword in his hand, which was wrapped with a thunder light full of destruction.
The sword light that wiped out the courtyard just now was the giant sword swung out.
Ichikishimahime took a breath and looked at the huge samurai who appeared in front of her with shock and disbelief as he rose to the height of his flight.
"S-Susanohu! This woman..."
Ichikishima-hime looked towards the feet of the giant samurai and saw two women wearing white clothes like her lying aside.
Both men were unconscious, their bodies covered with bruises, and they were obviously seriously injured.
"Tian Xin Shen Ji, Rui Jin Ji!"
Ichikijima Hime called the names of the two Ryuji Cave elders, unable to believe that two elders of the same level as herself were defeated by Liuli so quickly.
"Damn it, even Susanoo shouldn't have defeated them both so quickly... What went wrong?"
She had originally thought about sucking up the chakra of the two humans who visited Ryūchi Cave and having a good meal, but what happened now immediately put an end to her wishful thinking.
These two humans are different from those who came to Longdi Cave in the past. They are not harmless sheep, but beasts that are more ferocious than them!
Miscalculation!
Just when Ichikishimahime was thinking about retreating, the giant samurai turned his eyes and noticed Ichikijimahime flying in the air.
"Well……"
The powerful mental power impacted her brain, and Ichikijima Hime had a look of fear on her face. She subconsciously held her head in her hands, squatted in the void, and gave up thinking, as if doing so would make her feel a little safer.
However, in the face of Ichikishimahime's covert protective move, the giant samurai didn't care and raised the dark red giant sword in his hand above his head.
Then, chop it off without mercy.
He swung out a beam of destructive lightning that destroyed all things, and rushed towards Ichikijima Hime's body.
Click!
The ground cracked.
A huge shadow rushed into the sky and stood in front of Ichikishima Hime, blocking the huge sword slash of the giant samurai on her behalf.
Boom!
The atmosphere exploded.
The burst of air turbulence directly blew Ichikishima Hime's petite body away and hit the ground heavily, creating a huge hole.
Although she was knocked down, injuries of this degree were nothing more than superficial injuries to Ichikijima Hime.
After hundreds of years of tempering with magical chakra, her body cannot be said to be indestructible, but at least ordinary attacks cannot cause any effective damage to her.
However, even if she was not seriously injured in the attack just now, Shiraishi and Liuli's attention was not on her, but on something that blocked the giant sword's attack.
It was a white phosphorus snake tail, smooth and bright, reflecting a metallic luster under the light of the lightning on the giant sword.
Even if it collided with the chakra giant sword shining with lightning, there was no trace on it.
Liuli frowned, obviously feeling troubled.
Apart from Madara's Susanoo, this was the first time she saw someone who could block her Susanoo without getting hurt.
"White Snake Immortal!"
Ichikishimahime cried out.
She didn't expect that just ambushing two humans would wake up the sleeping White Snake Immortal.
"Okay, humans, although this matter is the fault of Ichikishima-hime and the others, the anger in your hearts should be vented enough now. Don't you have something to ask me for? Come here now, Ichikijima-hime, you can help me They lead the way.”
The old voice spread in the void. The sound sources came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell from which direction it came.
After saying these words, the white phosphorus snake's tail retracted into the cracked earth, leaving only a bottomless black hole.
But the lingering power that spreads everywhere in the air lasts forever.
