As everyone entered the Wet Bone Forest, it was the end of the diving journey.

At a distance of 12 kilometers from the ground, people saw not only a forest, but even a city.

A town built in a forest of wet bones.

When everyone came to the town, it was noon.

However, even the light distorted by the Holy Cave can reach this depth, which is already the limit.

As a result, the town seems to be shrouded in a hazy haze.

The entrance to the town is a spectacular, neat row of Senbon torii gates that slowly spread upwards.

Because of their age, many torii gates have collapsed and faded.

But for Qimu Linye and his party, it is not in the way.

If you cross the Senbon torii gate, you will officially enter the town.

Like the dilapidated Senbon torii, the town is in disrepair, and many buildings have collapsed.

The ruins and ruins of the walls are full of vegetation and trees, as if they have been abandoned for hundreds of years.

From the moment he stepped into the town, Ukyo had already shown a shocked look.

Yes, a small town of this size is nothing to the outside world.

But this is 12 kilometers from the ground!

Even Tsunade was amazed.

Looking around, she was full of curiosity, just like Youjing.

"Grandma, has anyone ever lived here?"

Youjing said: "Maybe this town was originally on the ground, and then collapsed into the ground due to a change?" ”

Mito apparently didn't want to talk about it, and said perfunctorily, "It's true that many people have lived here. ”

Hagi Lin was also a wounded man, and at this time he was being carried behind by Tsunade.

Looking at the dilapidated town in front of me, I couldn't help but gasp.

It's more than just 12 kilometers above the ground.

And the mysterious inverted tree!

However, as soon as Hagi Lin took such a breath, the heat reached Tsunade's ears.

Tsunade's body suddenly trembled slightly, and he turned his head and glared at Hagi Rinya.

"Don't breathe casually!"

Qimu Lin couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Only the dead don't need to breathe!" ”

“……”

Tsunade was speechless for a while, so he had to snort lightly and ignore the flag on his back.

Hachiki Rin was too lazy to talk to Tsunade at this time, his attention was actually on Mito.

Naturally, I noticed Mito's strangeness.

Then, his gaze fell on the ruined wall.

"Sure enough......"

These walls, though they have been worn down over a long period of time.

But it can still be seen that the walls of the buildings here are actually a whole.

In other words, it is not a pile-up.

The only thing that can do this is obviously ninjutsu.

And judging from the complexity of the buildings here, it is likely to be a high-level ninjutsu such as "Earth Escape: Promising Transformation".

The point is that through clairvoyance, he can see many details that he can't see without getting close.

For example, the family emblem of the Vortex family.

If you look closely, you can see that there are a large number of whirlpool family emblems in this dilapidated town.

Presumably, this was once one of the strongholds of the Uzumaki clan.

It's just that I don't know why it was completely abandoned later.

Qimu Lin also maliciously guessed: either they all died here, or they left the holy cave one after another.

Mito apparently had no intention of explaining this.

I'm afraid this is related to the secrets of the Vortex Clan.

……

Led by Mito, the group came to the eastern part of the town.

According to Mito, only the eastern and northern buildings of this town have been preserved relatively intact.

You can move in with your bag after cleaning.

To the south, to the north, and to the center of the town, are in ruins.

Even if you can occasionally see a few buildings that are still standing, they must be completely dangerous.

Eventually, the group came to a shrine.

"Is there a shrine maiden lady living in this shrine?"

No wonder Qimu Pro also raised this kind of question.

Compared to other rock-based buildings, the shrine is mainly made of wood, but it is extremely well preserved.

There are almost no dilapidated places.

One has to wonder if it is because someone has settled here, so it is often repaired.

Mito glanced at Hachiki Rinya with a strange expression.

"You seem to be interested in shrine maidens?"

Qimu Lin was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Mito to care about this question, "Huh? I'm not particularly interested, but I think it's rare to see, so I'm wondering, do shrine maidens have any special abilities? ”

He mainly found that the witch, a character with a strong "regional color", rarely appeared in the Hokage world.

As far as he knows, the only one who has appeared in the role of a shrine maiden is the country of Oni in the theatrical version.

The shrine maiden named Shion is not only good at sealing, but also has a powerful power hidden in her body.

It was with this in mind that Qimu Lin asked casually.

Mito was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's going to be a little different. ”

"Mito-sama, what is a shrine maiden?"

It was Ukyo who asked the question, and Mikoto Uchiha also cast a curious look.

The two of them hadn't even heard of the shrine maiden's existence.

This also proves that the profession of shrine maidens has long been in decline in the Hokage world.

Tsunade had heard of it, but he had never seen a real shrine maiden with his own eyes.

Mito explains, "The so-called shrine maidens can be thought of as Mijinko who served the gods, and held the duties of praying, warding off evil spirits, and sacrificing at shrines, and for thousands of years, they were generally held by unmarried women who were physically and mentally healthy. ”

Hearing this, Ukyo and Mikoto showed a look of sudden realization.

However, Mito did not continue to popularize science, but walked straight to the shrine.

As it turned out, the shrine was not inhabited by shrine maidens.

I don't think I think it looks like it from a distance, but when I look closer, the entire shrine is actually covered with dust.

There is no way to live at all.

As for why the shrine is not dilapidated, Qimu Lin also guesses that nine times out of ten it is because of some kind of enchantment.

When he officially entered the shrine, he vaguely felt as if he had passed through a membrane.

Then naturally, it starts cleaning.

And he was also instructed by Mito to clean the entire shrine.

Qimu Linye, as a wounded, naturally sat on the sidelines and watched everyone busy.

"Well, it's not completely out of the box to get beaten."

Qimu Lin also comforted himself.

But after sitting for a while, I felt that I had a lot to talk about, so I stood up and walked around the shrine.

Similar to ordinary Japanese shrines, this shrine is probably composed of a shrine hall, a kagura-den, and a dance hall.

In addition, there is a lake behind the shrine, and the residence is set up on the lake's edge.

After walking around the shrine, in the end, Qimu Lin also walked into the dance hall that had been cleaned first and sat on the ground.

Then, take out a card of black mist from the King's Treasure.

On the back of the card, there is a ghostly flame that connects the chains, and on the front is a scrawny man whose limbs and body are bound by chains, his head is low, and his face is obscured by his long messy hair, revealing only a creepy eye.

"Class: Avenger"

For this card, Qimu Lin has also been thinking about it for a long time.

"Now it's almost certain that this card is not so much a rank card as a formation card, and if you look at the enemies I know, whether it's Black Ellie, Angola Manuelle, or Black Joan of Arc, their personal factions will be fixed as 'evil'.

And there seems to be some kind of hatred and resentment, like Joan of Arc, even if Orleans, which is his obsession, is eventually repaired, his hatred is just not so strong. ”
