Chapter 107 Enter
A pair of dark eyes filled with all the negativity and malice in the world locked onto the direction of Lu Nie and the others as Zero Tail's head swayed.
"Is it finally our turn?" Although Kakuzu's tone was reluctant, he still sighed. Before Lu Ne spoke, he took the initiative to stand in front and regarded himself as the first line of defense.
"Let Chongchong go first. If he can handle it, we will go and take care of the opponent's base first."
Luna's words comforted Kakuzu somewhat. At least, it sounded like he was not being thrown out as a pawn again.
Although he was very confident in his own strength, the pressure brought to him by the Zero-Tail was real. In terms of threat alone, it might be greater than most tailed beasts.
Faced with Zero-Tails' malice, Chongchong, encouraged by Lu Nie, refused to be outdone and let out an invisible roar of the soul.
No sound could be heard, but the mind and soul seemed to have been struck fiercely, and fell into a momentary trance.
The two huge monsters collided with each other.
The scales on the insect's body exploded, and the black scales were like sharp blades, cutting the skin of the zero-tail that was entangled with it, making a squeaking sound, and white marks covered its body surface.
Zero Tail was not to be outdone. Although it was the receiving party, its body, which was as made of plasticine and could control the appearance and disappearance of its limbs as freely as plasticine, split into countless tentacles, wrapping the insect tightly in three layers inside and outside.
With its steel skin and rapid regeneration abilities, Zero Tail doesn't care about physical damage, it just wants to eat up as many bugs as possible, consuming their strength and soul.
The two huge monsters started fighting fiercely in the sea.
"Let's go and take over Shennong's legacy." Lu Nie had no intention of staying to wait for the two monsters to decide the winner and end the battle. For him, he had already seen what he wanted to see.
"Inheritance?"
Looking at the huge building with half of its body already visible in the sea fog, and the human figures appearing from the building, Jiaodu suddenly became interested.
As someone who could own such a magnificent building and support so many ninjas without being recognized, Shennong's legacy should not be a small amount, right?
Kakuzu glanced at Kane behind him with a hidden look. Although the kid behind the money would never give him the money, at least he could help count it and collect some hard work fees.
It’s not much money, but it’s better than no money!
Isn't this how wealth is accumulated by taking advantage of every opportunity?
The second wave of air ninjas that came to support stood outside the area where the two monsters were fighting, as if they were observing something.
But the two angry beasts have entered a mode of indiscriminate attack.
Stab la la!
Dazzling electric light burst out from Chongchong's body and spread along Lingwei's body into the sea.
The lightning spread wildly along the sea water, but soon disappeared.
Zero Tail was like a battery, absorbing most of the electric light from Bugs body and converting it into chakra energy.
The spread of the lightning from the Lightning Release affected the air ninjas on the periphery, causing their bodies to feel numb and temporarily paralyzed. The chakra in their bodies instantly became disordered, unable to maintain the balance of chakra output, and they fell directly from the water surface into the sea with a splash.
Fortunately, the numbness disappeared quickly. After regaining control of the body, the air ninjas in front had spread out on the sea and began to prepare ninjutsu in a fan shape.
Their leader had seen Zero Tail and knew that Zero Tail was summoned by Shennong. Although he did not see Shennong's figure, he could clearly sense Shennong's chakra from Zero Tail's body!
So they planned to cooperate with Zero Tail to get rid of the other monster first.
As dozens of air ninjas formed hand seals, the strong wind on the sea suddenly became violent. The wind mixed with chakra was shaped into various forms under the effect of ninjutsu.
Thin wind blades with unparalleled cutting power, like marbles, and wind bullets with extremely strong penetrating power under the blessing of wind escape, were released in an instant, attacking the bugs that were fighting Zero Tail.
With such frequent and numerous attacks, Lingwei, who was entangled with Chongchong and refused to retreat, was inevitably affected.
But most of those wind-based attacks fell on the two monsters, meaning they were bounced away. Only a few were able to break through their steel skin and scales, causing damage to them.
So after a wave of attacks, the two monsters were once again covered with traces of battle damage. But the next moment, these injuries and traces healed quickly due to their powerful recovery ability.
The attack of the Sky Ninja seemed to have angered the two monsters. The two monsters bit each other and devoured each other's strength, while freeing up some strength to destroy those annoying little bugs on the other side.
Most of the serious wounds on the two monsters were caused by each other, and the surrounding sea water was contaminated by the blood and chakra of both.
Spider-web-like thin tentacles shot out from Zero Tail's body, easily sweeping away all the air ninjas within a hundred meters of the outer periphery. In the surprise attack, more than a dozen black cocoons were easily created on the sea surface.
Chong Chong spewed out a ninjutsu like a thunder spear from his mouth, which instantly landed on the area where there were more air ninjas. The thunder and lightning covered that area in an instant, and the air ninjas who were hit by the thunder spear were instantly charred and lost their lives.
Shisui was running quickly towards Anchor Bandian on the sea surface, stepping on the water. The three-magatama Sharingan in his eye sockets was rotating, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes as if he saw something.
Although I can't be sure, but the so-called Zero Tail seems to be consuming more than just chakra?
The flesh and blood were still intact, but after the black cocoon broke open and the tentacles returned, the ninjas wrapped in the black cocoon lost all signs of life at the same time.
The chakra was completely devoured, and life came to an end. It seemed that even the soul was pulled out of the body by those black tentacles and brought back into the body of Zero Tail.
After receiving the power of these ninjas, some subtle and incredible changes occurred in Zero Tail's body.
"Its momentum is getting stronger!" Even though they were far enough away, Kakuzu could still feel the oppressive feeling from his soul. As large amounts of ninja chakra were devoured and they lost their lives, the opponent's power seemed to be growing rapidly at an incomprehensible speed.
And vaguely, Kakuzu sensed that the second wave of wind-style ninjutsu from those air ninjas seemed to have been cut in half, and only a few of them could leave white marks on Zero Tail.
Are the attacks of those ninjas weak?
No one thinks so.
The most likely reason left is that Zero Tail's power has increased again, and its defense has also skyrocketed.
The attacks that could damage it a moment ago were no longer able to penetrate its enhanced steel skin defense.
"Ninjutsu is ineffective against it!" Shisui understood what Zero Tail did better than Kakuzu.
It has evolved! The skin has evolved to have strong defensive power, and it is also immune to the so-called wind escape and lightning escape ninjutsu.
Shisui had no doubt that if other fire, earth, and water-based ninjutsu appeared, they would also be quickly immune to and absorbed by the Zero Tail.
The opponent is now like the nemesis of ninjutsu!
A ninja who is good at ninjutsu would be at a disadvantage in an instant if he didn't know the information when facing Zero Tail. Even if he knew the information, it would be difficult to escape Zero Tail's hunting without sufficient preparation.
Kakuzu and Red Bean took care of the ninjas who came to stop them with just a few punches and kicks.
The strength of these ninjas is not that strong. They can just use some strange mechanical ninja tools and know how to coordinate in a certain way.
In terms of quality and strength, without those ninja tools and tactics, they are not as good as the ninjas from the five major countries, let alone the ninjas from small ninja villages such as the Rain Country and the Grass Country.
So the interception of these ninjas was broken in an instant.
"Ankel Bandian, is it actually a flying war fortress?" Standing under the huge building, Kakuzu gently exerted force, and the prisoner who was holding the neck of a certain air ninja in his hand became silent instantly.
According to information obtained from the captives, Shennong took great pains to improve and manufacture this building as a fortress for launching wars, but due to various factors, it is still only a semi-finished product for the time being.
But with no problem with energy supply, Anker Bandian has been able to move and fly for a while. However, in order to conceal its presence, the city mostly wandered on the sea and repaired at the ruins of the Sky Ninja Village.
Several people quickly rushed up along the route revealed by the interrogation, found the entrance, and after dealing with the guards at the entrance, they walked in without hiding.
Anker Bandian was also in chaos at the moment.
Shennong, the leader, lost contact and gave no further orders. The companions who went out to support also suffered heavy casualties.
At this moment, Anker Bandian, which was the base of the army, was invaded directly and openly without any concealment.
As a result, several managers inside started arguing, but as Lu Nie and his team went deeper, they decided to capture or eliminate the invaders inside first, and then recover the Zero Tail that was the power source of Anker Bandian, and look for the leader Shennong.
"Who are these people?"
Walking in the dark corridor, the firelight on both sides cast large patches of black shadows. What Lu Nie and the others saw were rooms that looked like prison cells.
There were various people imprisoned in the room, some of them looked like poor people, and some were ninjas.
"Save me! Save us!"
As if seeing the forehead protectors on Kane and the others, a ninja wearing the forehead protector from the Rain Village in a cell suddenly staggered to the front of the fence, stretched out his hand through the gap in the fence and asked Kakuzu and the others for help.
In the light of the fire, the Amegakure ninja who spoke had a gaunt face, a body that was like skin and bones, and was sickly thin. It could even be perceived that the flame of life in the other party was like a candle in the wind, dying.
"I'm not your subordinate!"
After receiving the signal from Kakuzu, he complained with a gloomy face, but still took the initiative to step forward. The tentacles of the Earth Grievance on his arms surged out and condensed into a sharp axe. After signaling the Amegakure ninja to retreat, he chopped the bars of the cell.
"thanks, thanks!"
When the Rain Ninja saw the opened cell door, the desire to survive and gratitude suddenly emerged in his eyes, and he almost crawled out of the cell where he was imprisoned at the fastest speed.
Just these few movements made him come out breathless and had to hold on to the wall to stand steadily.
"It's chakra!" Shisui observed the cell and the surroundings, pointed at some runes on the ceiling, and said, "These cells are absorbing their energy and chakra."
"Yes, we are the power source of this building." Hearing Shisui's words, the Rain Hidden Ninja who escaped from the danger gasped and said, "As long as you are imprisoned in the cell, your chakra and physical strength will be lost all the time. It is even difficult for you to release a ninjutsu.
This is a place where ninjutsu is forbidden!"
"Were you captured?" Hongdou asked as she looked at the Rain Ninja who was in a very bad condition and walked forward.
"No, I was tricked by Shennong." Yu Ninja leaned against the wall, looking at Lu Nie and the others who were walking forward with some hesitation. "He is very powerful. My suggestion is to leave as soon as possible before he finds out that we have escaped from prison. If you have a mission, it will be difficult for the four of you to escape if you are discovered by Shennong!"
"Don't worry about that." Hongdou and Kakuzu opened the doors of the cells along the way, not caring whether the ninjas imprisoned inside could get out or not. "We are going to the control room now. Does anyone know where the control room is?"
"I know!" The ninja who was released first saw that Lu Nie and the others were calm, gritted his teeth, quickly followed a few steps closer, and spoke.
"Then lead the way." Lu Nie and the other three stopped and waited for a while. They asked Kakuzu to help the weak Rain Ninja up, and followed his instructions to rush to the main control room.
Along the way, there were constantly ninjas rushing out to try to stop and destroy Lu Ni and the others, but they were almost always dealt with in an instant.
The confidence of the Rain Ninja who led the way in Lu Nie and others gradually grew and became stronger.
Not long after, under the guidance of Rain Ninja, Lu Nie and the others arrived at the main control room of Ankel Bandian.
The room was large, with dozens of air ninjas inside. The moment they entered, they seized the opportunity and launched a long-planned combination attack.
However, those combined ninjutsu were blocked and absorbed by a black shadow wall.
When the black wall dissipated, a group of black shadows shrank back to Lu Nie's feet like flowing water. Looking at the group of gloomy and panicked air ninjas opposite him, Lu Nie did not even initiate the need to communicate, and took the initiative to attack them.
The black shadow turned into a hideous monster and suddenly expanded out from under Lu Nie's feet. After spreading forward for a distance, the huge black shadow spread in all directions like the branches of a tree.
In an instant, the black branches covered the entire empty main control room, and the shadow of the Sky Ninja who was unable to dodge was connected by the black branches. Amidst bursts of screams, he lost control of his body and involuntarily attacked his nearby companions.
