Chapter 164
No one can describe the feeling when seeing the Slug Fairy!
Even though he had been mentally prepared to a certain extent, when he really saw the suffocatingly huge body of the Slug Immortal, Lu Nie still felt shocked!
The field of vision was boundless, and the blue-white body was like a towering mountain of flesh, blocking the way ahead. Under the clouds and mist, if you raised your head, you could even see the back of the slug immortal.
The slug that brought them here was already a giant spiritual beast, a behemoth as big as a mountain, but in front of the Slug Immortal, it was just like a small baby in the arms of an adult.
Judging from the visual, the slug that brought them here was even longer than the ten thousand snakes in Longdi Cave, not to mention the size.
The gap between the two is really too huge!
As for the two of them, they seemed even smaller in front of the body of the Slug Immortal.
With this level of size, even if they did nothing but casually rolled their bodies on the ground, for a ninja, it would be as despairing as facing a natural disaster, right?
S-level ninjutsu?
Tailed beast jade?
Maybe there are some that can achieve similar damage. But you have a big move, and they just randomly roll, which may not even be a basic attack.
What's more, Lu Nie could feel the boundless and speechless natural energy and chakra energy accumulated and contained in the body of the slug sage in front of him.
Even the chakra amount of an ordinary Kage-level ninja is like a lake compared to the ocean.
Even though the Slug Immortal did not show any hostility, and was even the most mild-tempered of the three spiritual holy places, so gentle that he could even be said to be docile, but the fact that he just lay there was enough to prevent anyone from having any hostility.
White Snake Immortal?
Lu Nie was not sure about the extent of the White Snake Immortal's power, but judging from the senses and perceptions of their first meeting, the impact of the Slug Immortal on Lu Nie far exceeded that of the White Snake Immortal.
If we take into account the unique power attribute of the Wet Bone Forest lineage, people will not even have the desire to take action.
Maybe you are so exhausted that your attacks seem like a baby's mischief to the Slug Immortal.
The gap in size, strength, energy, and everything else was too huge. And this size was enough to crush everything.
The fountain of living fluid that Tsunade mentioned, which was used for the final trial of the Wet Bone Forest Senjutsu, was not far from the Slug Sage in front.
As big as a lake.
But compared to the slug fairy, it is more like an insignificant puddle.
Tsunade's expression was not much better than Kagane's. Even though she was a contractor of the Wet Bone Forest, she had only seen the real body of the Slug Sage once a long time ago, but at that time she had only seen it from a distance and communicated with the Slug Sage's split body.
The Slug Sage was quite gentle and didn't mind Tsunade's visit and interruption. But under normal circumstances, who would go and chat with such a being whose life level far exceeded theirs?
The arrival of the slug obviously alarmed the Slug Immortal, or in other words, all the slugs in the entire Wet Bone Forest were its offspring and eyes and ears.
Here, as long as the slug exists, nothing can be hidden from it as long as it wants.
So, after the big slug stopped at a long distance, the huge slug fairy in front moved its front half and began to move.
A gigantic slug head poked out from the thick fog in the sky, and a huge shadow, accompanied by a sense of oppression like the collapse of the sky, poured down on its head.
"You are indeed the contractor of Longdi Cave. Have you seen the White Snake Immortal?"
Although the slug fairy was very large, his tone and voice were surprisingly gentle and soft. It was not as thunderous as one might imagine, but rather like a gentle woman whispering softly in one's ear.
"Slug Immortal." Lu Nie calmed himself down, raised his head and looked into the huge head, greeting it respectfully.
"You can call me Living Slug, that's my name!" The Slug Sage's tone was somewhat cheerful, as if he was very happy to be able to meet Lu Nie and Tsunade. Or maybe it was because this Wet Bone Forest finally had two more lives from the outside world, which made her feel a little lively and novel.
"Living Slug Immortal!" Lu Nie immediately changed his words.
"Hello too, Tsunade-chan."
Different from the way other slug clones in the Wet Bone Forest addressed Lady Tsunade, the original body of the Slug Sage obviously regarded Tsunade as a junior.
Tsunade had no opinion on this either, because in her mind, the original body of the Slug Sage and its split body could be considered two different creatures.
Especially the Slug Sage, who may have existed in this world since the beginning of the Ninja World. No one knows how long he has lived and what kind of terrifying power he possesses.
Tsunade had no intention of refutation or questioning a being of this level, no matter what she was called.
"I heard from Teacher Tsunade that Master Slug wanted to see me?" Lu Nie took the initiative to ask about the original intention of the Slug Sage to see him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious about you." The slug comforted the two. "The White Snake Immortal finally has an excellent contractor, maybe he will be very happy?"
"Contractor, is it important for an existence of Lord Haunted Slug's level?" Tsunade and Lu Nie looked at each other and saw each other's confusion. As a contractor of the Wet Bone Forest, Tsunade took the initiative to raise her head and ask.
"How should I put it? It's important, but not important either." The living slug was a little embarrassed by Tsunade's question. It was not because Tsunade's question was difficult to answer, but because it was thinking about how to explain this point clearly to the two of them.
“The contractor is the hub for the three spiritual places to contact the outside world and achieve certain goals.
Gamamaru has mastered the ability of prophecy, so he always issues prophecies and hopes that the world will follow his predictions. Among the three places, Myoboku Mountain may be the one with the highest demand for the outside world.
The White Snake Immortal, who disliked Gamamaru, followed closely behind. He did not want to see Gamamaru's strength surpass his, so he also maintained a certain demand on the outside world.
The relationship between the two is very complicated. They can be rivals or friends, just like the contractors they choose.
As a Toadmaru who possesses the power of prophecy, he can always use his predictive ability to select outstanding candidates, make predictions for them, and guide the direction of the world.
As a white snake immortal who has the power to observe the past, I have suffered a lot of losses and lost a lot of face at the hands of my contractors. "
Lu Nie and Tsunade listened carefully. This was a secret message told by a living fossil in the ninja world.
The Toad Pill in his mouth is obviously the ancestor of the immortals of Myoboku Mountain.
Judging from the information revealed by the Slug Immortal, it is obvious that guiding the world to follow the prophecy is a way of practice for the Toad Immortal?
The White Snake Immortal is a rival competitor.
From this point of view, the Three Holy Lands may not be as indifferent to the outside world as they imagined. Of course, it may also be that they think too much, after all, there is too little information.
"What about the Wet Bone Forest?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask.
The contract scrolls of the Wet Bone Forest mostly have the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan. After all, the physique of this ninja clan really meets the recruitment requirements of the Wet Bone Forest.
“Wet Bone Forest?” The Slug Immortal was startled for a moment, and shook his big head: “The Wet Bone Forest has no demand on the outside world.
If Gamamaru pursues prophecy and the White Snake Immortal observes the past, then what I represent should be existence?
Whether the outside world is good or bad, it will not affect the survival of the three places, but because of the personalities of our three people, perhaps we will behave accordingly.
I don't like the wars of you humans, whether it's samurai or ninja. I care about the survival of life."
The tone of the Slug Sage was still gentle, but it strangely affected the emotions of both Luna and Tsunade, making them feel as if they were experiencing the sincere emotion of compassion contained in his tone.
"Does Lord Slug know anything about the world before the Ninja World?" Lu Nie asked suddenly. He also wanted to know what the world before the Ninja World was like in the words of the Slug Sage.
"Before the Ninja World?" She seemed a little confused by Lu Nie's question, or maybe no one had asked her this question for thousands of years. After thinking for a while, Slug Sage asked back, "Are you referring to the world before the appearance of ninjas?"
"Yes." Lu Ni nodded. Tsunade on the side didn't understand why Lu Ni suddenly asked such an old and useless question, but she also knew that Lu Ni would not be so presumptuous, so she didn't say anything, but just quietly waited for the answer of the Slug Sage.
"Let me think about it. My memory is a bit outdated. What I can answer is only a fragment of my memory. It is not as good as the White Snake Immortal."
The Slug Immortal lowered his head, as if thinking or recalling something.
“The world where the ninja appeared was not much different from the present, life was still dying, and humans were still fighting tirelessly.
If there is any difference, it may be that there were so-called gods and ghosts at that time."
"Are there really gods and ghosts in this world?"
Tsunade was somewhat shocked by the answer given by the Slug Sage. She had not expected to hear such an answer from the Slug Sage.
"Of course not a true god. Although there was no ninjutsu at that time, there were magical powers similar to ninjutsu.
At that time, the land was even more chaotic than it is now, and humanity was in danger of extinction. Most people had to seek shelter from some powerful countries or powerful aliens.
Others are monsters that are materialized by power based on human thoughts. Among them, they are divided into gods, ghosts, or evil gods based on their attitude towards humans. "
The Slug Sage tried hard to recall his distant and somewhat vague memories and answered questions for both Kagawa and Tsunade.
"Then why aren't they here now?" Tsunade was a little surprised.
"After the appearance of ninjas and chakras, they were eliminated and died. Only some who were difficult to kill are still lingering on." The Slug Sage's tone was still gentle and calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
But both Lu Nie and Tsunade heard a hint of emotion in the Slug Sage's tone.
"In the past, the darkness in the hearts of humans combined with some power could really create some troublesome existences. But after the chakra was spread in this world, that kind of situation was almost extinct. From the perspective of humans, Yugorō Sage did a good job."
The Slug Immortal continued in a gentle voice.
"Feathered Immortal?"
Tsunade analyzed the words of the Slug Sage and soon thought of the legendary Demon Kingdom, which suppressed demons powerful enough to destroy the ninja world and had real shrine maidens.
But soon, she was attracted by another name.
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo is also the legendary ancestor of ninjas in your ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths." The slug spoke out the name of the Sage of Six Paths directly.
"Can you tell me about the Six Paths Sage?" Lu Nie asked with pretended curiosity.
"For more details, you should ask the White Snake Sage, or preferably Gamamaru. Because the Six Paths Sage and Gamamaru have the closest relationship and regard each other as partners. He should know more about the Six Paths Sage than the White Snake Sage and I."
The Slug Immortal shook his head and spoke helplessly.
"So, Lord Haunted Snail, have you also been there before in the three areas of the Wet Bone Forest?" When Tsunade asked this question, she felt that she had asked a useless question.
"The Ninja World is a very strange place, it has many secrets. Some of these secrets cannot be known even by the creatures of the three lands, including the three of us.
Around the Ninja Realm, there are many spaces similar to holy places, each of which has different uses and powers.
Some of them were used as prisons by the Six Paths Sage to drive out and seal some beings that were too powerful to be killed, leaving them to fend for themselves in space so that they could no longer affect the safety of the ninja world.
Some of them were born to occupy a space and live in it as their own territory. But they would not easily go to the ninja world.
The third place is the latter." The Slug Immortal said slowly.
"The ninja world actually has so many secrets?" Tsunade was a little shocked. She suddenly felt that the ninja's battles and world were a little dull compared to the world and secrets described by the Slug Sage.
"This is not what you should be thinking about. Let's talk about Lu Nie. We may not meet again." The Slug Immortal said gently.
"If necessary, I can bring Kane here at any time." Tsunade patted her chest and assured the Slug Sage.
"But the White Snake Immortal might come to talk to me." The Slug Immortal shook his head. "I can feel that the White Snake Immortal values Lu Nie and the other contractor. It would be bad if he misunderstood that I was trying to poach him and came to argue with me.
I don't really like fighting with people. Especially the White Snake Immortal. Its power will cause drastic changes in the environment of the Wet Bone Forest. I don't like it."
"What do you want to know?" Lu Nie asked.
"I want to know, have you created another kind of energy? A power different from chakra, or natural energy?"
