A complex look flashed in Yuuki Mineko's eyes. She covered her mouth and looked at Jiraiya with admiration.
This time it wasn't just a show, there was some sincerity in it.
"Hehe, no! This is just a little magic trick of this immortal, a trifling trick, not worth mentioning!"
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, it was obvious that he enjoyed the admiration and praise of the beautiful woman very much.
"what--"
Yuki Mineko wanted to say something, but suddenly her face turned pale and she almost fell to the ground.
As if she remembered something, she anxiously reached out her hands and touched her face, chest and other vital parts, then held her face with an expression of surprise and joy.
I was clearly bitten by locusts on my face several times, and each time it was extremely painful. I thought I would be disfigured, but in the end, I was not.
A handsome face is an indispensable trump card in one's life plan.
I checked his whole body carefully, but found no wounds, and even his clothes were not torn. What was going on?
“Ouch, that hurts…”
"……Mother……"
Yuki Mineko looked carefully at the other people who were screaming and groaning. Their skin was not torn, but their figures had obviously become illusory and translucent like the legendary ghosts.
"Lord Jiraiya, their bodies...what's going on?" asked Yuuki Mineko.
"This sage has said before that you were sucked into Myoboku Mountain as souls. Since you are not physical bodies, you will not bleed or get hurt. But..." Jiraiya's tone was unusually solemn.
"If you really die here, at best you will lose your soul, and at worst your soul will be scattered! In the worst case, your body in this world will die as a result."
These words are not just to scare them. The secret realm copy also has a punishment mechanism. If you cannot pass it and fail the challenge, the player will enter a weak mode.
"Ah! What should I do? Immortal, please save me. I'm not married yet, and I don't want to die yet."
Upon hearing this, the fat lady burst into tears and said, "If I die here, what will happen to my baby?"
"Master Jiraiya, is there any way I can heal them? Look at the others, they are in a very bad condition too. I'm afraid they won't be able to follow you on your journey."
"They're just a bunch of stinky men, just leave them here." Jiraiya said disapprovingly.
"No, don't leave us."
"Help me... Please have mercy, Immortal..."
"...Ms. Kiritani..."
When the other wounded heard what Jiraiya said, their faces turned pale with fright.
Lord Jiraiya is so heartless towards men!
Yuuki Mineko looked at the wounded who were begging desperately, gritted her teeth, pulled down the zipper on her collar, revealing the curve of her chest, and pursed her lips and said:
"Master Jiraiya, could you please think of a solution?"
"No problem, no problem, it's a piece of cake!"
Jiraiya glanced downwards several times with lustful eyes, and suddenly became talkative.
He stretched out a hand, fumbled in his arms for a while, took out a small gourd, and threw it to Yuuki Mineko.
Yuuki Mineko reached out to take it in a panic.
"Inside the gourd is the elixir of Miaobo Mountain that I refined. Soak it in water and give each of them a sip. Then they can breathe slowly and they will almost recover."
When everyone heard Jiraiya say this, they all looked at Yuki Mineko eagerly.
Yuuki Mineko opened the gourd, and a black, round pill rolled out of it, and her heart trembled.
"Okay, I'll get ready."
Yuki Mineko picked a leaf and poured the dew on the leaf into the gourd.
The black pill melts when it comes into contact with water, and a faint strange fragrance emanates from it.
Yuuki Mineko couldn't help but swallow.
"Ms. Kiritani, you should have a sip too. Your spiritual energy is almost exhausted, and now you can't use that special move you had before." Jiraiya said meaningfully.
Are you talking about the time when you sprayed flames?
Yuuki Mineko was wondering why she inexplicably possessed extraordinary abilities, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask rashly.
"Then you're welcome. Thank you, Master Jiraiya."
Yuuki Mineko picked up the gourd and took a sip. The sweet and cool taste flowed down the esophagus into every part of her body.
The next moment, Yuuki Mineko found that most of her physical strength had recovered, and there was an inexplicable energy surging in her body, which was very similar to the feeling of releasing fire before.
"Ms. Kiritani!"
What kind of nectar is this? Is it really the legendary elixir?
Yuki Mineko was immersed in this wonderful feeling when she saw the other wounded looking at her eagerly.
"Excuse me."
Yuki Mineko quickly gave everyone, including the fat woman, a sip.
No one knew what kind of elixir the lecherous immortal had bestowed upon them, but everyone’s bodies became more solid and no longer as translucent as before.
After swallowing it, everyone felt radiant, full of energy, and no longer as anxious as before.
After experiencing the horrific locust attack, everyone had a better understanding of the dangers of Mount Myōboku, and they also had a greater respect for Jiraiya, the Toad Sage who could easily wipe out the locust plague and bestow elixirs.
They were frightened like frightened birds and followed Jiraiya closely.
Even though Jiraiya told the men to get away with a look of disgust on their faces, they still followed him shamelessly.
The rest of the journey was smooth sailing, so uneventful that even Jiraiya looked puzzled.
"We're almost at the Toad Oil Falls, but it's too smooth. Every time I come here, I have to fight three or five battles. This time, I didn't even encounter a decent monster." Jiraiya said with a frown.
"Lord Jiraiya, isn't this a good thing?" the man with glasses asked flatteringly.
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. The journey has been so peaceful. Could it be that someone has been here before me..."
"Get out here for this Immortal!"
Jiraiya's face suddenly changed, his long gray hair pierced straight into the grass and swung back, and a black-haired man wearing a black-based red cloud suit with a cold, snake-like face was dragged out.
"Jiraiya, after not seeing you for so many years, you seem to have made some progress. Hiss ...
Chapter 208 Chapter 210 Orochimaru's Invitation
"Long time no see, Jiraiya."
The gloomy man who was tied up by Jiraiya's long hair and hung in the air, with his long black hair draped over his shoulders, made his skin look even paler. He spoke coldly.
"Yes, it has been more than fifty years since we last met, and your eyes are still as ferocious as ever."
"Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru?!
The conversation between the lecherous sage Jiraiya and the weirdo named Orochimaru made Yuuki Mineko look subtle, and a strong sense of déjà vu came to her mind.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru...
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yuuki Mineko's mind. She finally remembered that in the folk tale "The Tale of Ereiye Heroes" that her grandmother had told her when she was a child, the villain was a bad guy who could drive poisonous snakes, and his name was Orochimaru!
Because the etymology of Jiraiya JiRalYa and JiRaiYa is slightly different, she couldn't remember it for a moment, but the name Orochimaru suddenly turned on the switch in Yuuki Mineko's memory.
Will there be another Princess Tsunade who can control slugs appear next?
Yuuki Mineko couldn't help but look at Orochimaru with curiosity and scrutiny, and began to profile this mysterious man.
Estimated height is a little over 60 meters, and weight is less than kilograms. Judging from appearance alone, he is the same age as the lecherous immortal.
The whole person has a cold and evil aura, thin cheeks, sickly pale skin, purple eyeshadow that extends to the wings of the nose, and light golden pupils with snake-like vertical pupils...
Orochimaru seemed to have sensed something, and his neck twisted 120 degrees strangely, and his cold eyes met with Yuuki Mineko!
"Hey! Hiss!"
In an instant, Orochimaru's body began to swell and twist, snake scales grew on his face, and he turned into a giant white snake that was even bigger than the python he had encountered before. He opened his mouth and swallowed the lecherous sage and all of them!
"untie!"
Jiraiya growled and slapped Yuuki Mineko on the shoulder.
Yuuki Mineko fell to the ground in a sweat, her teeth chattering, her face full of the dullness left after the extreme shock.
very scary! very scary!
This man called Orochimaru doesn't look like a human being at all, but rather some kind of demon in human skin!
"Orochimaru, you are too unkind to women. You actually used illusion on such a weak and delicate beauty." Jiraiya frowned, raised his head and said to Orochimaru.
"Hiss, hiss, I just used my murderous aura to scare her a little bit. If I really used the Naraku-ken Jutsu, this woman would have become an idiot now."
Orochimaru retracted his creepy gaze, licked the corner of his mouth with his slender tongue, and said disapprovingly.
"Jiraiya, I thought you had made some progress in being able to discover my hidden state. Now it seems that you are still obsessed with women as before, hiss—"
Orochimaru's neck twisted half a circle like a pretzel, looking at the strange and huge plants in Mount Myoboku.
"I think you were able to find me because this is your home turf, Mount Myōboku. After all these years, Jiraiya, you still haven't made any progress!"
"Orochimaru, how did you become a woman? You're so nagging. Although your tongue is indeed very long, you can't keep talking like a gossiper."
Jiraiya scoffed as he scratched his ear with his right pinky finger.
"Why did you come to Myoboku Mountain? Don't tell me that you are here to reminisce about the past."
"Jiraiya, I'm here to persuade you to join Akatsuki."
Orochimaru said bluntly: "You should also know that the passage between the heaven and the human world has gradually been opened. The world is undergoing a major change that has not happened in a thousand years. Jiraiya, people with your strength should join hands with me to change this stagnant world!"
"Akatsuki, I didn't expect that you, Orochimaru, would join this dangerous organization. Akatsuki has been in the limelight recently. You have caused quite a commotion in the human world, and even the Fire Temple's Chi Lu was severely injured by you."
Jiraiya looked thoughtfully at Orochimaru's black suit with red clouds.
"What heavenly world or human world? Our world and the real world are one and the same. Only an extremely stubborn old-fashioned person would use the abandoned term heavenly world or human world."
"There's nothing wrong with this statement. Compared to those mortals in the human world who have forgotten the mystery of the extraordinary, there's nothing wrong with us, beings with long lifespans and great magical powers, being called immortals, saints, or Buddhas." Orochimaru's tone was as lofty as that of a god.
"Heh. Orochimaru, you've changed a lot. In my impression, you're not this arrogant lunatic." Jiraiya sneered disdainfully.
"Akatsuki has been stirring up trouble in all realms. Your goal is to reunite the two realms that have been separated, and to return the world to the Age of Gods, where humans and gods coexist and gods walk freely on the earth, right?"
"Is there anything wrong with Akatsuki's philosophy?" Orochimaru asked back.
"You Akatsuki alone can't do such a thing. If you have such power, you can just go to war with the entire other world. Why hide like this?" Jiraiya said with a frown.
"Hiss, we naturally have our own plans." Orochimaru said vaguely.
"So, your Akatsuki's frequent interference in the human world is also part of the plan?" Jiraiya asked, touching his chin.
"You seem to be looking for something in this world?"
"Jiraiya, you know more than I thought."
Orochimaru, who was tightly bound by the gray-white hair, was a little surprised and said sinisterly.
"If you want to know more, you must join us. Jiraiya, what do you think?"
Jiraiya held out a hand and shook it.
"I am the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain, a handsome man loved by everyone. How could I possibly join an evil organization like Akatsuki and go along with you?"
"What a shame, Jiraiya. I wanted to fight alongside you once again."
Jiraiya's face showed a nostalgic look, as if he remembered something, but his face quickly turned cold.
"Why are you still talking about this now? After you, Orochimaru, killed our teacher, we have severed our friendship! I am not killing you now because of our many years of friendship as fellow disciples."
"You are not welcome at Myoboku Mountain, Orochimaru, get out of here."
"Before you leave, Jiraiya, shouldn't you give me some souvenirs from Myobokusan?"
"what do you want?"
Orochimaru fixed his cruel gaze on the chick with the same venomous snake's gaze, glanced at the crowd behind Jiraiya, and licked his lips.
Everyone felt a chill down their spine, as if something slippery and cold had penetrated their collars and was crawling on their backs. They all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
