Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Swollen Bat
Orochimaru, who was galloping on the plains, glanced back at Konoha Village, which had not yet lifted the alarm, and the corners of his mouth crooked, revealing an evil smile.
Farewell, Konoha Village.
This time he took the initiative, and the village didn't have time to react, and it was impossible to catch up with him.
I even had extra time to go to the hospital and kidnap the shinobi who had undergone the illusion of the statue.
As for the human head that Kakashi brought back, I heard that it was just the product of ordinary people who had received the illusion of the statue.
As long as he leaves Konoha Village, it doesn't matter how many ordinary people he wants to do the experiment.
And the most important trophy this time is naturally the statue of Cthulhu.
At this time, the statue was sealed in a scroll in Orochimaru's arms.
With this statue, you can explore the illusion unleashed by the Cthulhu statue.
What kind of illusion can transform the human body?
What does the illusion look like?
As long as it is proven that all this is true, then Cthulhu is real.
As long as it is proved that Cthulhu is real, then the One who is one is also real.
That's right, Orochimaru has little interest in Cthulhu, the evil god of water.
What makes Orochimaru really yearn for it is the all-knowing and all-powerful One of all things!
The endless truth contained in the universe is the ultimate goal of Orochimaru!
Just thinking about this in his heart, Orochimaru's body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
It seems that all this can be achieved immediately as long as he leaves Konoha Village.
...
Orochimaru rushed into the woods at great speed, and the surrounding moonlight also disappeared under the cover of the dense canopy.
But at this time, Orochimaru's pace of progress suddenly stopped.
"Who?"
Although Orochimaru is not a perceptual ninja, such rough breath-holding can't hide Orochimaru's ears.
No one in the woods responded.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, since the chasing soldiers haven't come yet, let's play with you a little.
Following the direction from which the sound of breathing came, Orochimaru's gaze suddenly locked on the three trees.
These two must be hiding behind one of these three trees!
Orochimaru had already heard the sound of two people breathing, and one forcibly held his breath, instead ignoring the sound of his own heartbeat that accelerated due to holding his breath.
The other person's heartbeat was very steady, but the breathing was too loud, and it was not disguised at all.
Orochimaru walked towards the nearest tree, then leaned in to take a look.
There is nothing behind the tree.
Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
These two rookies who can't even hold their breath have some of the bad taste of the big snake pill, and the bad taste of the poisonous snake tracking the little prey.
Behind the second tree, Orochimaru suddenly flashed his head to probe, and there was still nothing behind the tree.
Now only the last tree remains.
Orochimaru was about to raise his feet and walk towards this last possible hiding place, when suddenly someone threw a black box with a slight metallic sheen from behind the tree.
Out of instinct, Orochimaru subconsciously jumped back.
But the metal box stopped at a great distance, and it seemed that the person who threw it didn't mean to hit Orochimaru directly with it.
Orochimaru was secretly wondering, but the surface of the metal box suddenly flickered, and a misty cloud of smoke and dust came out of the crack in the box.
The smoke rose into the air and slowly gathered into an individual with a figurative form.
It was a huge bat made of thick smoke, and the bat's body looked unusually swollen under the misty nature of the smoke.
The two fully unfurled giant wings, which were two people long, flapped continuously, and each time the wings flapped, a stench of yin wind blew onto Orochimaru's face.
What made Orochimaru feel even more terrified was that in his swollen body like smoke, the three-petaled eyes that burned like hell flames were staring at him.
"This is..."
Orochimaru didn't have time to think too much too rationally, and the powerful instincts that he had built up over the years as a ninja had suppressed the fear of facing this abominable face.
"Shulkers have many snake hands!"
Orochimaru raised his arm, and dozens of huge pythons suddenly rushed out of Orochimaru's cuffs and flew towards the swollen bats in midair.
But what Orochimaru didn't expect was that the huge snake limbs composed of dozens of pythons actually passed straight through the swollen bat's body, without the slightest feeling of hitting any entity.
The giant snake's limbs were stuck in the swollen bat's body, unable to fall or pulled out.
And at this moment, a pair of thin limbs stretched out from the wings of the swollen bat, and the two withered thin limbs clamped the snake limbs of the big snake pill, and then threw the big snake pill out.
Orochimaru's body was easily thrown away like a shuriken and slammed into the trunk of a towering tree.
Holding on to the trees, Orochimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, while his eyes were fixed on the swollen bat that was flying after him with a pair of giant wings.
With only a moment of contact, as one of the three ninjas, he fell behind!
However, this momentary loss also made Orochimaru understand something.
The swollen bat in front of him was not afraid of physical attacks, as evidenced by the fact that the shulker multi-snake hand just passed directly through the bat's body.
However, the bat's body is certainly not some kind of ethereal state that is completely immune to any attack, otherwise it is impossible to grab its latent multi-snake hand and throw itself out.
The body of a swollen bat is a smoke-like semi-material state!
Glancing at the smoky outline of the swollen bat, Orochimaru immediately thought of a race.
It is a race that is raised by itself, and the bodies of the people of this race can be atomized into smoke, and they can enter the bodies of others in the form of smoke and control the actions of others.
It's just that this seemingly perfect ability is afraid of the wind, and if it is blown away in a state of smoke, it will disappear immediately.
If the body of this monster in front of you is the same as the ability of this race, the wind should also be the weakness of this monster.
didn't have time to think too much, Orochimaru quickly sealed his hands, and a wind escape ninjutsu came out.
"Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!"
Orochimaru spat out a gust of wind and blew it towards the swollen bats that were coming at him in the distance.
However, Orochimaru didn't see what he hoped to see disappear, and the swollen bat almost ignored the wind and continued to flapp its wings towards him.
At this moment, the fear in Orochimaru's heart rose to the extreme!
Orochimaru's snake eyes were completely filled with the burning three-petaled eyes, and the dark wings obscured Orochimaru's vision from the rest of Orochimaru's vision, seeing that Orochimaru's body was about to be swallowed up in endless black smoke.
"Rachel!"
A strong blue light flickered in the distance, and this light instantly illuminated the otherwise dark woods.
A high-pitched, piercing whistling sound resounded through the forest, and the swollen bat in front of Orochimaru immediately vanished.
