Chapter 230: The so-called sacrifice
"Boom ------"
As a dazzling blue light flashed, an earth-shattering loud bang rang out, and the explosion generated a huge air flow that rushed to both sides, and the rock walls on both sides were affected and fell one after another.
Looking at the figure of the Yellow Spring, which was hidden by the debris from the explosion, and the chakra fluctuations of the Yellow Spring, which disappeared with it, Ryuyu retracted the Three Days Moon Sect into the scabbard.
I have to say that Huangquan disappointed Liuyu. I thought that such a boss in the original theatrical version could be so powerful, but I didn't expect that Huang Quan, who couldn't get the power of the dragon, didn't even have the courage to fight with him.
Of course, it is precisely because of Huang Quan's weakness that Huang Quan has the idea of obtaining the power of the Dragon, even if he becomes a puppet under the Dragon.
Maitreya looked at Huang Quan's party who was cleaned up by Liuyu in the blink of an eye, and came behind Liuyu with a complicated expression, today's scene had already been expected when she made a decision.
......
After that, Ryu followed Maitreya into the cave where the body of the dragon was sealed, accompanied by the young Aster. The ghost lantern string moon and the grass thousand persistent are waiting outside the cave, alert for possible accidents.
"Mom! What are we doing here? ”
Looking at the gloomy scene on both sides of the cave, Shion asked timidly. For some reason, today she always feels inexplicably uneasy, and her heart aches faintly, as if something bad is about to happen.
"Ziyuan is good, no matter what happens later, you must stay strong!"
Maitreya, who was pulled by the corner of Aster's clothes, stopped, squatted down lightly, and whispered comfort in Aster's ear. However, Maitreya's words made the young Shion feel even more uneasy, and hurriedly hugged Maitreya. As a young girl, she didn't know why her mother would say such things now, she only knew that she didn't want to lose her mother.
And Maitreya, who was hugged by Aster, showed a trace of helplessness, as well as a deep reluctance hidden behind the helplessness. Looking at this scene, Liuyu opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Maitreya with his eyes. In the end, Ryu's squirming lips still couldn't open, and he turned his head helplessly and sighed softly.
As a collection of the natural energy of this world, the Sprite, like the Nine Tailed Beasts, cannot be killed in nature. Even if he is killed, he will reorganize his energy at an opportune time and resurrect somewhere in the ninja world.
And sealing the dragon is not without a price, and this price is the life of the witch who is the sealer. In order to facilitate the sealing of the resurrected spirits, the shrine maiden clan used a special sealing technique to fix the resurrection location of the dragons in one place. Spirits are often the weakest when they are resurrected, and this is the perfect time to reseal them. At this time, the shrine maiden needs to seal the resurrected spirit again at the cost of her own life. It can be said that dying together with the spirits has become the fate of the witch family, sad but helpless.
In the original book, Huang Quan broke the seal first in the resurrection of the dragon, and relied on the power of the dragon to drive the undead army to attack the city, and that time was also the biggest crisis faced by the entire ghost country. In the end, under the struggle of Maitreya, at the cost of his life, he separated the soul and body of the dragon and sealed it in the underground palace of the Oni Country and the ancestral hall of the Swamp Country respectively, and survived the crisis.
Now is the time for the resurrection of the dragon, and the purpose of Liuyu and his party coming here is also to reseal the dragon, and dealing with Huangquan is only incidental.
As for the human pillar power that makes Ryuyu a dragon now, it is not the right time, Ryuyu's current strength is not enough to suppress the dragon, and forcibly incorporating the dragon into his body will only cause more serious consequences.
In this life, Huang Quan, who tried to get his hands on the power of the Sprite, has been killed by Ryu, but the price to pay for sealing the Sprite will not change, and Maitreya will still die after sealing the Sprite. It is precisely because he knows his fate that he will die, so Maitreya will come with Aster this time.
Watching his only remaining elder in this world sacrifice for the so-called mission, it is impossible to say that Ryuyu doesn't care. At this moment, her mood is also very heavy, but Ryuha is not Naruto, and she will not rush out in a hurry without thinking of a plan to deal with it with the support of her enthusiasm, and the long-term killing has taught her to stay calm in the necessary moments.
Faced with Maitreya's mortal fate, Ryuyu couldn't find a solution. Maitreya's sacrifice this time is also to buy time for Ryu Yu to gain the power of the dragon next time, and this is also the last thing Maitreya can do for Ryu Yu as an elder, and Ryu Yu can only accept it as a junior. Romance 888
After comforting Shion, Maitreya stood up again, took Shion's small hand and walked firmly towards the inside of the cave, and Liuyu, who was behind the two, silently followed.
.......
Outside the cave, Oni Lantern and Kusachinako were silent.
"Is there really no other way?"
Looking at the silent grass Qianzi, in the end, it was the ghost lantern Xianyue who broke the silence first, and both of them knew what the final result would be today.
"If there is another way, the shrine maiden clan will not be sealed at the cost of the lives of the clansmen from generation to generation."
Kusa Chinako held her short knife and replied softly as she looked up at the moon in the sky. After learning about the history of the shrine maiden clan, a sense of powerlessness naturally emerged.
“.......”
The ghost lantern and the moon want to speak and stop. She could see that Kusa Qianzi was not as indifferent as she appeared.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Cao Qianzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled out the short knife in his arms and looked not far away.
"Is there a situation?"
Looking at the vigilance on Cao Qianzi's face, Ghost Lantern Xianyue couldn't help but be vigilant and ready for battle, she could trust the perception ability of the Cao Qianyi clan.
I closed my eyes carefully and felt carefully, but I didn't find anything. After that, Kusa Qianzi opened her eyes and laughed at herself: "...... Maybe I'm too sensitive! ”
"It's okay!"
Looking at the grass Qianzi who gradually relaxed, the ghost lantern Xianyue also slowly put down the heart that was raised, and everything that just happened was just because the grass Qianzi was too nervous tonight.
......
On a clearing a few kilometers away from the cave, a figure slowly emerged, squinting at the two people outside the cave entrance in the distance with a pair of snake eyes.
"What a sharp woman!"
Orochimaru stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip and said coldly. And at the foot of Orochimaru, there was a figure covered in wounds, and when he got closer, this person was actually Huang Quan, who should have died under the hands of Ryuyu Bamboo Rifleman. After a closer look, Huang Quan still maintained a weak breathing, and was actually saved by Orochimaru by some unknown means, and he also successfully concealed Ryu's perception.
