Chapter 644: The Old and New Puppeteers, the Battle of the "Strongest" [Part II]
"What? It's all shattered like that, and it still has the ability to attack?! ”
In the case of focusing on the body of the Red Sand Scorpion, and even the Scarlet Amber that shattered into wreckage all over the ground, directly regarded it as a non-threatening ornament, so that although Sakura was repeatedly vigilant and vigilant, it was inevitable that under the sudden change of the Scarlet Amber Storm and hurt people, while instinctively screaming, in the face of this dense attack, fell into an embarrassing situation that could not be dealt with.
After all, Sakura's previous resistance to the dense attack was to force up a piece of ground to act as a shield for herself, which was a simple and brutal response that was purely a clever response with force. And in the ground in front of her, it has been lifted and thrown out by itself, leaving only a deep depression, how can Sakura, who obviously has no time to repeat the old trick, continue to survive unharmed from this impenetrable poisonous needle attack by herself?
Of course, this is the ending of Sakura-chan being alone and facing the Red Sand Scorpion as the former enemy......
But the fact is that on the battlefield today, in addition to Sakura, there is also a Chiyo mother-in-law who has rich combat experience and is the same as the Red Sand Scorpion, who is also a puppeteer! So much so that this seemingly dense and ferocious offensive is just a small skill of carving insects with an axe for Granny Chiyo!
No, it's not ......
"Oh, is that your response? It's not even a warm-up for me......"
As if it was a joke, while bending her eyes to tease and tease the red sand scorpion, with the dynamic vision tempered by the various battles she had experienced in her life, Granny Chiyo only looked at it a little, and found a dodge route that was enough to protect her own safety from this dense poisonous needle attack. Even Chiyo's mother-in-law, who at first glance is just an old woman who can't move an inch, while following the dodge route she found, she shuttles and dodges like a ghost. While not forgetting to hook his fingers frequently, he could use the chakra thread attached to Sakura's body in advance to guide Sakura, who was at a loss, to shuttle through the covering blow of this poisonous needle.
It is precisely because of this that the picture that may seem a little weird in the eyes of outsiders is staged......
After all, due to the setting of the sun, the sky gradually darkened, so that these black poisonous needles, under the cover of the sky, combined with their own high-speed flight, are enough to make them difficult for ordinary people to discern with the naked eye! So much so that if ordinary people are a little farther away to observe the scene in front of them......
So, Chiyo's mother-in-law and Sakura's survival in the cracks, dodging and shuttling in this dense group of poisonous needles, most of the time, will be misunderstood, it is the old and the young, in this sparsely populated open space, dancing and fighting with each other......
"Sure enough, you completely dodged it...... It seems that even after 20 years, your skills and strength have not declined in the slightest. ”
Of course, as the real controller of the attack, the Red Sand Scorpion would not have watched the two of them dodge the final blow of Scarlet Amber so easily. So much so that after the figures of the two of them completely fell into the covered area of the poisonous needle group without retreating, the Red Sand Scorpion slowly raised his hands from the pitch-black robe, and pointed his palms to the left and the right, respectively, to the figures of Granny Chiyo and Sakura.
"In that case, then I'd better move a little bit more seriously!"
As soon as the words fell, the red sand scorpion, which had already spread its hands, did not see any seal movement, and suddenly burst out from the palms of its hands. And then took advantage of the fact that Chiyo's mother-in-law and Sakura, who were busy dodging the attack of the poisonous needle, had no chance to take care of it at all, so that this inconspicuous little flame instantly exploded into two pillars of fire, and quickly invaded the figures of the two!
In other words, compared to the covered poison needle strike that Scarlet Amber is hiding...... This high-temperature flame that can easily melt gold and break iron with a single move is the real killer move prepared for Chiyo's mother-in-law after the embodiment of the Red Sand Scorpion! Even the little living space left in the dense group of poisonous needles is also the result of the Red Sand Scorpion deliberately set up in order to lure Chiyo's mother-in-law into being fooled!
In this way, as a normal situation......
Not to mention Chiyo's mother-in-law, who is concentrating on dodging, I am afraid that she has no extra mind at all to pay attention to and perceive the attack of this truly deadly move......
Even if Granny Chiyo could detect it in time, just dodging these dense poisonous needles had already consumed a lot of Granny Chiyo's energy, where would she have time to adjust her dodge route to avoid the invasion of this pillar of fire?
It's just that with Chiyo's mother-in-law's rich experience and understanding of the red sand scorpion......
Would she really be stupid enough to be misled by this little trick and stupidly send herself and Sakura to a dead end?
The answer is clearly no!
"Bang!"
I saw the two pillars of fire ejected by the red sand scorpion when they were about to touch the figures of Granny Chiyo and Sakura. Sakura's figure, under the control of Chiyo's mother-in-law, deliberately clinged to Chiyo's mother-in-law's side. Immediately, in front of the two of them, a white fog suddenly rose, and in addition to the clicking sound of the mechanism running, the high-temperature pillar of fire of the Red Sand Scorpion, along with the few remaining poisonous needles, was like encountering some absolute defense that could not be broken, and it was impossible to move forward a bit, let alone hurt the lives of Chiyo's mother-in-law and Sakura!
And this sudden appearance to help Chiyo's mother-in-law and Sakura intercept this deadly joint offensive is none other than the Red Sand Scorpion, one of the early five puppet works left in the village before he defected from the village, the Red Sand Scorpion was modeled after the image of his parents, and was used to accompany his own substitute, father and mother!
In other words, the scroll that Chiyo-ma-chan, who put her hand into her sleeve robe, took out long before Scarlet Amber launched the final blow, and it was the storage scroll that sealed this special puppet! Even when she rushed into the group of poisonous needles in a "reckless" manner, Chiyo's mother-in-law had already prepared a follow-up plan for herself!
"Oh? It's ...... I really didn't expect that after so many years, you still have these failures. I thought you should have destroyed them a long time ago. ”
At the same time, although the Red Sand Scorpion had already guessed, it was impossible for Granny Chiyo, who had taught the puppeteer skills to her under the guidance of her hand, to be easily dealt with by such a simple combination attack. But after witnessing it with her own eyes, she realized that the way that Granny Chiyo used to avoid the fatal blow was to summon such a special puppet, after all, it still made the state of mind of the Red Sand Scorpion shake for a short moment. Even the pursuit and suppression that should have been launched one after another against Chiyo's mother-in-law and Sakura also stopped.
"But now, even if you release them, what's the use? These are puppets I made, which means that no one in the world knows them better than I do! Isn't it ridiculous to want to use this toy that doesn't have much offensive power against me? ”
It was this short moment of hesitation that made the Red Sand Scorpion fail to discover it in time......
It stands to reason that the "father and mother" should be a pair in order to maximize their performance and power in cooperation with each other......
But the problem is that the puppet who suddenly appeared and defended against the attack of the Red Sand Scorpion was the only "mother"! Even the "father" who was supposed to appear at the same time, but when he raised his eyes at this time, he couldn't see his trace at all!
In this way, when Chiyo's mother-in-law left behind her "mother", it is impossible to destroy the "father" alone, and in the case of destroying the puppet performance, there is only one explanation left for the seemingly missing "father......
That is, long before the appearance of "mother", "father" had already taken advantage of Sakura's monster power to explode and throw huge stones at the red sand scorpion, and used this as a proof to inadvertently cover the figure of Granny Chiyo for a short time, and was summoned by Granny Chiyo! Then she lifted the ground along Sakura, and the pit created by it went directly into the ground, and quietly approached the figure of the red sand scorpion!
"After all, they were the first puppets you made, so how could I be willing to destroy them......
In this case, with the help of the connection and induction of the chakra silk thread, it was determined that the "father" who was released in advance had already included the body of the red sand scorpion into his attack range in the process of approaching, and Chiyo's mother-in-law quickly danced her ten fingers in the blink of an eye.
"As for you saying, you know them well? Then I don't think so! ”
"Whoa!"
Almost at the moment when Chiyo's mother-in-law's words came out of her mouth, a long whip full of sharp blades suddenly broke out from directly under the red sand scorpion! Immediately, the sharp blade long whip that had not diminished in the slightest upward momentum, without a moment's hesitation or pause, flew straight towards the face of the Red Sand Scorpion!
"What?!"
In this hasty attack, the red sand scorpion, which had already focused most of its attention on Chiyo's mother-in-law and "mother", no matter how agile and quick the reaction was, it was inevitable that there would be a moment of hesitation. Then he raised his head and jumped back, barely dodging the surprise attack of his "father", and the black cloth that had been shrouded in the figure of the red sand scorpion and covering the true appearance of the red sand scorpion was instantly cut into rags!
"Huh? That one...... Is it the body of the Red Sand Scorpion? I can't see it clearly, but it seems to be ...... And what I imagined, a bit of a big gap? ”
Because of this, Sakura, who was quite curious about the true appearance of the Red Sand Scorpion, like Grandma Chiyo, naturally squinted her eyes while stretching her neck a little in the first time, and tried her best to identify the appearance and appearance of the Red Sand Scorpion in the dim night. Then, as if he had seen something terrible, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head a little sideways, asking and confirming with Chiyo's mother-in-law.
"Now, Granny Chiyo, if I'm not mistaken...... The Red Sand Scorpion, he defected from Shayin Village twenty years ago, right......? ”
"This ...... How is this possible...... Shouldn't that be...... This ......"
It's just that what Sakura didn't expect was that the Chiyo mother-in-law, who had been in chaos from beginning to end, was completely stiffened in place after seeing the true appearance of the red sand scorpion clearly. Immediately, the degree of reaction was far more exaggerated than Sakura's, and Chiyo's mother-in-law, whose eyes gradually became confused and puzzled, kept muttering to herself.
"I see...... Looks like you've completely reinvented them over the years. ”
At the same time, the Red Sand Scorpion did not show the slightest anger and dissatisfaction with the exposure of his true face. Instead, he tapped his toes on the ground and quickly escaped from the range of his father's bladed whip. And while standing firm, he mocked with a disdainful tone of javascript:, word by word.
"However, it took so much preparation work for you to successfully launch a blow...... In fact, from the very beginning, this cloak was deliberately targeted, right? Is that how you want to see me now? ”
Between the words, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or a large-scale continuous explosion in the distance, the influence of the air current, so that the clouds that originally covered the moonlight completely dissipated into nothing at this moment. And then under the bright moonlight, the true appearance of the red sand scorpion can be clearly displayed in front of Sakura and Chiyo's mother-in-law, which is exactly the appearance of Chiyo's mother-in-law's impression, as early as twenty years ago, the red-haired handsome boy who chose to defect from the village!
"It's exactly the same...... There is no change at all from the way he looked when he left the village......"
In the face of this kind of abnormality that is obviously impossible to explain based on common sense alone, Chiyo's mother-in-law, who originally seemed to be at ease, began to feel more and more unfamiliar from the young man's posture in front of her, which should be familiar and nostalgic. Immediately, with the thought of being safe, he hurriedly withdrew the "father" hiding in the ground in front of him, and formed a stronger defensive shield with the "mother". As he gritted his teeth, he exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's been all these years, why haven't you aged at all...... Isn't this gesture your essence either?! ”
It is said that Shibei should be impressed for three days......
But after more than 20 years, which is enough to turn a person's image upside down, let alone make the body of the red sand scorpion grow a little bit. Even the erosion of the years, which no one can be spared without the use of special means, cannot leave a trace on the appearance of the red sand scorpion! So much so that in the case that the Red Sand Scorpion itself is an excellent puppeteer, Chiyo's mother-in-law can't help but be suspicious......
The grandson who has been missing for a long time in front of him, could it be a stand-in puppet made by him in order to keep a memory, and imitate the image of his past self? !
If that's the case......
Where is the real Red Sand Scorpion now?!
