Chapter 371: The Gift of Opening

Silver moonlight poured over the remains of the building, exuding a hint of coldness and desolation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The collapsed stone pillars were half cut into the earth, half exposed, covered with moss and mushrooms, and I don't know how long they spent here.

Except for the clearly recognizable stone pillars, the rest are broken tiles.

Without saying a word, Orochimaru came to the center of the building's wreckage, walked to a stone pillar, crouched down, and reached out to clean the moss and mushrooms from it, revealing the uneven, blurred surface of the stone pillar.

Judging from the traces, the stone pillars should have been carved with some patterns, but they have been destroyed by the destruction of time.

After wiping off the moss from all the stone pillars that can be seen, what is revealed is only the ordinary stone pillars.

Orochimaru patted off the moss residue left in his palm, and said with a little disappointment, "It seems that there is no useful information left." ”

Ye Zi walked to the center of the ruins by himself, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he keenly felt a trace of almost imperceptible energy fluctuations.

He closed his eyes and began to perceive, where the energy fluctuations came... At the feet.

Indeed, as Orochimaru said, it is different from Chakra's feeling, it is very subtle, and if you don't feel it with your heart, you won't even be able to perceive the existence of energy.

And... Unlike the chakra extracted from the body, Ye Zi felt a trace of danger, as if facing the enemy's chakra, that is the feeling.

"Orochimaru also sensed the danger, so he didn't easily access this energy?"

Ye Zi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with surprise.

"Do you feel it?" Orochimaru looked at Ye Zi, who nodded slightly.

"How?" Orochimaru sneered.

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's the same as you said, but... It feels a little dangerous to me. ”

Five Bamboo Forest, this was once the place where the two tails were located, but Orochimaru and Ye Zi didn't know this.

What is certain is that this place is the same as the ruins found by Orochimaru in the Land of Winds, with the slightest imperceptible energy fluctuations, hidden deep underground.

"You can't make hasty contact until you know about it." The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked slightly, staring at the location where the energy came from, "I'm very curious about it, maybe it has a lot of uses." ”

Ye Zi didn't speak, he also looked at the desolate ground quietly, because he didn't know, he didn't dare to contact it rashly, if he didn't feel the danger, I'm afraid he and Orochimaru would immediately dig up the sand and find out.

Since it exists, it must be known.

What Orochimaru has to do is to find a way to know it.

Silently remembering this place, the two did not stay here for too long, and left the Five Bamboo Forest.

The next destination is the land of the earth.

In order to set foot in the Land of Thunder, Orochimaru and Ye Zi spent nearly a month, and the area of the Land Country is not small, but it is not so easy to step through.

The two of them leave the Land of the Moon and embark on a journey to the Land of Earth.

At the same time.

The old stronghold built by Ye Zi ushered in a group of uninvited guests, about forty people, all of them with vigorous movements, leaping through the forest and advancing crosswise.

Soon, around forty ninjas were scattered around the hidden entrance to the stronghold, all standing in the trees.

Each ninja wears a standard long sword, wears the same costume, and wears a different style of mask, and the style of the costume is the costume of the Konoha Dark.

These people are the team sent by Tuanzang.

Half a month ago, they found the location of the stronghold, and after ensuring that there were no police posts around the stronghold, they carefully checked all the entrances to the stronghold, and the final result was that there was only one entrance.

Naturally, they wouldn't know that Ye Zi had sealed all the redundant entrances for convenience, and covered up the traces, leaving only an inconspicuous entrance.

The police posts around the stronghold were also removed by him, in order to reduce the vigilance of the root members.

After the root action team completed the investigation, it began to monitor the base.

didn't make the first move, because he was worried that Ye Zi might be in the stronghold.

After almost twenty days of surveillance, the entrance to the colony remained closed, and no one entered or exited.

Until today, the captain of the action group finally made up his mind to attack the stronghold, so everyone came to the perimeter of the stronghold, and directly formed a siege.

"First try it with a shadow clone." The captain in the green-striped dog mask ordered.

As soon as the words fell, the ten team members all came out with a shadow clone.

Ten shadow clones jumped off the tree, broke through the heavy wooden gate of the stronghold, and entered the stronghold in a goose-shaped formation.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a wide corridor that descends, and there is a wooden floor on all sides, and it feels very thick to step on.

The leading root members rushed to the front, keeping their guard in a state of vigilance, while the rest followed behind.

At this moment, a small part of the wooden floor that the leading root member had stepped on sank in, and in an instant, countless square openings suddenly cracked in the smooth wooden walls on both sides of the corridor, and bursts of shuriken shot out from it.

The four shadow clones who fell behind him were unaware of a lot of shuriken for a while, and directly turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.

The remaining shadow clones did not stop at all, and continued to go deeper, encountering a lot of trigger-type traps along the way, and losing two more shadow clones.

As they went deeper, the road became more and more open, and the remaining four shadow clones began to explore, taking the route in their heads.

The entire base occupies a large area, and the bird's-eye view is square.

The four shadow clones explored the same area, and found that a little dust had accumulated in each room, but there was no sign of moving, and even a lot of food was stored.

Almost all the rooms were explored, no one was found, no useful information was found, and in the end only one large room was left unentered.

The four shadow clones draw a simple map based on the path they have explored, while the room that is not explored is in the middle of the map, with a total of four gates, each with a defensive barrier.

The four shadow clones tried to break the barrier, but the defensive barrier returned to its original state in the blink of an eye, and the four shadow clones returned to the ground after eliminating all the traps.

The shadow clone was disarmed, and the memories fed back into the main body became information.

The trap was removed, but the captain of the action team did not act rashly, and the little dust accumulated in the many rooms made him jealous.

However, there was still a room that was not explored, and every door in that room had an enchantment, and the shadow clone failed to break through the barrier.

The four doors have the same barrier, and they should be broken at the same time to unlock the barrier.

So, what exactly is in the room where the enchantment is set up?

The captain of the action team thought for a while, and after some consideration, he decided to break through the barrier and enter the room to find out.

They were ordered to come here, and even if they found nothing, they could not spare any corner.

"Split into five groups, ready to enter, one group to stay outside."

The captain of the action team gestured, and the forty or so ninjas quickly divided into five teams, followed by four teams entering the stronghold and staying one outside.

Relying on the shadow clone to eliminate the trap and obtain a rough topographical map, the four teams dispersed and soon came to each gate where the enchantment was arranged.

Complicated black tadpole incantations spread over the wooden door in a regular manner, exuding a hint of chakra fluctuations.

Using a special method of communication, the four teams scattered through the four wooden doors broke the barrier at the same time with a slight time difference.

The black tadpole spell disappeared from the door, and before the root members could push open the wooden door, the entire colony suddenly shook violently.

"Trap?"

For a while, everyone's heart jumped.

"Hurry back!" The face of the captain of the action team changed drastically, and he drank it and ran in the direction of the entrance.

Just as everyone moved, the planks above their heads suddenly cracked, and heavy boulders fell with a bang, crushing the running root members into meatloaf.

When the team left behind heard the sound and looked up, they were all shocked.

I saw that the mountain, which protruded a little bit from the ground, suddenly collapsed and collapsed in a few seconds after making a sound, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust. (To be continued.) )
