Chapter 36: Red Lotus's Intentions
The cavern was dark, but something still murmured in the darkness.
The sound of chaotic and sluggish footsteps echoed through the cave, but Red Lotus didn't know what had just happened, only heard what seemed to be a villager screaming in terror.
Just now, when the villagers approached the black package, she and Orochimaru immediately jumped onto the stone wall on the top of the cave and hung upside down.
Follow Orochimaru's instructions and never open his eyes until he says yes, no matter what happens.
Orochimaru took in Red Lotus, who lost her home in the war, and since then, Red Lotus has decided to dedicate her life and body to Orochimaru, so naturally Orochimaru's words are like a holy decree.
Although she was very curious about what was going on down there just now, Honglian still restrained her curiosity and didn't open her eyes, even if she squinted.
"Shulkers have many snake hands!"
Suddenly, Honglian felt a thick living body groping its way through the air beside her.
Snake Hyacinko made a seeping sound, but Red Lotus believed in Orochimaru-sama and still didn't open her eyes.
After a while, Orochimaru seemed to have determined something, and then ordered Red Lotus.
"Use your crystal escape to seal all the people below."
"Yes."
"Crystal Escape, Crystal Prison!"
Although her eyes are closed and she can't see what's going on below, it's not difficult for her to use the sound of footsteps in the dark to determine the location and then crystallize the air around the footsteps.
After the crystallization sound characteristic of Jingyun passed, there was no more footsteps in the cave.
Orochimaru jumped to the ground first, and then said, "Come down." ”
Red Lotus still didn't know what was going on below, but out of trust in Orochimaru, she still jumped down with her eyes closed.
With a wave of Orochimaru's hand, the oil lamp on the stone wall of the cave was instantly lit, and the dark cave lit up.
"Open your eyes."
The voice of the Great Snake Pill came from her ears, and the red lotus felt the temperature of the Great Snake Pill's breathing, and her cheeks showed a burst of crimson.
Red Lotus slowly opened her eyes, and after the sudden bright dazzle of her vision receded, Red Lotus saw everything around her.
Among the ten pink crystals was a pale, smooth humanoid fish creature that looked like a vestigial humanoid.
Although Red Lotus didn't want to admit it, judging from the numbers, these ten ugly creatures were the ten villagers who had just become!
"This is..."
Ignoring Red Lotus's surprise, Orochimaru had already stood in front of the crystal to observe the creature.
"This power..."
"It's all true!"
After seeing this result with his own eyes, Orochimaru finally became convinced of Cthulhu's power.
Originally, Orochimaru also thought that the power stored in the statue might be some unknown and ancient illusion, but this illusion was too old and people had forgotten its existence.
As for the physical changes of the ninja, it is possible that the ninja caused it himself after receiving great mental torture.
The ninja's body is full of secrets, and Orochimaru is not sure what kind of changes the ninja's body will have after being greatly stimulated.
But the body of ordinary people is different, the physical possibility of ordinary people is the lowest, whether it is as an object of transformation or the possibility of their own evolution, they are the most inferior experiments.
However, after seeing the ten villagers transformed into ugly creatures in a very short period of time, Orochimaru was convinced that the power in this statue was not something boring like illusion.
It's the power of the Dominator of the Old Dominator!
Only this power can allow inferior bodies to evolve in such a short period of time!
In Orochimaru's eyes, what happened to the ten villagers was completely an evolution, an evolution from an inferior experimental object to a high-level experimental object!
The evolution was perfect, their lives were in the end of their lives, their bodies were weak, but now they were back on the same page.
That is, to have the same experimental value!
Orochimaru once had an idea that the power of ninjas could set foot in the ocean, a forbidden area for humans, to create a ninja force that could conduct amphibious operations.
However, this requires a series of complex human modifications, and the experiment of forcibly imposing the characteristics of fish creatures on humans cannot be completed in a short period of time.
So Orochimaru gave up this plan for the time being.
However, after seeing the power of this statue, Orochimaru had the idea of restarting this plan in his heart.
The huge snake leg of Orochimaru's right hand wrapped the entire statue and hung it in mid-air, and the dense snake body wrapped around the statue, making it impossible to reveal a bit of its true face.
The snake is not affected by the statue of Cthulhu, as the snake's vision in the dark is almost equal to zero.
The wrapped statue is carefully placed in the black cloth bag, and then the snake's limbs retreat, and Orochimaru re-ties the black package containing the statue.
This is a force beyond the control of mortals, and this otherworldly power even Orochimaru does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
As for these ten important experimental items, Orochimaru printed them one by one with scrolls, and waited for a better environment to conduct detailed research.
"Orochimaru-sama, my crystal escape..."
Honglian saw that Orochimaru had put away the ten crystals, and knew that they were going to be used as experimental materials, so she wanted to remind them.
Red Lotus's Crystal Escape Sealing Technique cannot be directly knocked by physical methods, otherwise the contents inside will shatter as the crystal is broken, so the experimental object will have no experimental value.
Orochimaru glanced at the red lotus and said, "I have my own way. ”
For the special blood inheritance limit of the red lotus, the Great Snake Pill has naturally studied it thoroughly, and the way to crack it has long been known.
It is basically impossible to hide clumsily in front of Orochimaru with the Tao of the Red Lotus.
Red Lotus didn't even know that Orochimaru had completed a test of her just now.
Orochimaru didn't tell Red Lotus about the danger of the statue beforehand, but only told Red Lotus to bring the villagers over, and then closed his eyes and hid.
If Red Lotus does all this step by step, she will naturally not have to worry about her life.
But if Honglian doesn't obey her orders, take a sneak peek, even if it's just a gap.
That Konoha ninja called Oil Girl Zhixin is the fate of Red Lotus.
Orochimaru didn't mind that his precious ninja experiment materials could have one more special Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja.
Now that he has lost power, Orochimaru must identify which people's hearts in the old department have begun to stir.
However, Red Lotus eventually resisted her curiosity and fully complied with her orders, demonstrating her loyalty.
In this way, Orochimaru can also rest assured that the rest of the matter will be handed over to Red Lotus.
"Red Lotus, in my absence, I want you to do three things for me."
"First things first, investigate any sect called Cthulhu, and gather any information about the gods of water."
"The second thing, investigate where the renegade who came out of the Fog Hidden Village fled to, I suspect that he is lurking around the Water Country now."
"The third thing is to develop ninja power that can be used by me, the stronger the better."
"Yes!"
Red Lotus, who knelt on one knee and lowered her head, thought for two seconds before slowly asking, "Orochimaru-sama, where are you going next?" ”
"I need an experimental assistant, so I'm going north for a while."
When Honglian heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Orochimaru noticed the change in Red Lotus's mood, turned around and bent down, and gently lifted Red Lotus's handsome chin with his cold right hand.
"Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for my eternal wish?"
Red Lotus looked at Orochimaru's evil face, and her eyes flashed with light.
"I do!"
"In this life, I will dedicate myself to Lord Orochimaru!"
