There was only one passage at the bottom of the stone tower, and the three of them only needed to follow this passage.

With a ninja's sense of direction, Kakashi clearly knew that Asama's escape route was towards the core of the ancient city.

The further he progressed to the core of the city, the fewer other routes Asama had to take, and there was no longer a need for a ninja dog to smell Asama's scent, so Kakashi ended his channeling of Uruhi.

On the walls on both sides of this underground corridor, there are elaborate artistic murals created with the aesthetics of the ancients.

These artistic murals exude a certain sense of grotesque in the eyes of human aesthetics, but in the degree of exquisiteness, they are much more delicate than the finest human carvings.

If this carving technique of the ancient man was applied to the shadow wall of Konoha Village, the images of those Hokage-sama would definitely be much more vivid.

Suddenly, a circular wall sculpture about two meters in diameter appeared on the wall, which was different from other artistic murals and immediately attracted Kakashi's attention.

This wall sculpture is clearly an aerial view of a city, which should be a map of the ancient city.

Through this wall carving, Kakashi was able to imagine what the labyrinthine city once had.

The overall shape of the city is similar to that of Konoha Village, both of which are circular, but the main structure of the city is built in a ring, which makes the rows of buildings even more structurally beautiful.

And in the very center of the circle, that is, the very center of the entire ancient city, is a blank area.

At the same time, Kakashi noticed that they were heading in the middle of the empty space, not stray a single bit.

What's there?

Kakashi didn't know, but Asama Shitai was heading there, and they could only continue to follow in Asama's footsteps.

"Let's go."

After pausing to watch for a moment and confirming his location, Kakashi beckoned the others to move on.

The wolftooth avalanche quickly followed, but Asama Santai remained in place, his eyes fixed on the blank space in the center of the wall carving on the city map.

"Third wife?"

"Third wife?"

Kakashi shouted twice, and Asama slowly turned his head with a frightened expression.

"Your face is not very good, do you need to take a break?" Kakashi asked.

Asama's sallow face barely squeezed out a stiff smile, "No need, let's move on." ”

The three of them continued on their way, through an underground corridor of unknown length, until they finally came to a stone chamber covered in rubble.

In this stone chamber, the three of them saw some familiar objects.

Empty canned food, tent cloth, animal skin blankets, kerosene lamps, matches...

These are the materials of the exploration team, but they appeared here at this time, and they could only be brought by Asama Santaifu.

Kakashi stepped forward and flipped it, the remaining grease in the empty can was not completely frozen, so he judged, "I haven't been away for too long, I should have been here half a day ago." ”

Although this judgment was made, when Asama Mitsuo moved before, he left only the most unnecessary waste materials, but this time, he didn't even have time to take away the kerosene lamp, which was very necessary in the dark environment, and left it here.

It shows that the ancient man who is chasing him is very close to him, and he has no time to pack up all his supplies and leave.

This time, seeing the traces of Asama's fourth wife still alive, the third wife was not so excited, and his expression was still terrifying.

In Kakashi's opinion, it may be that the oppressive dark environment here has taken some effect on his psyche, and it would be good to wait until he gets out of this dark underground tunnel.

After passing through the stone chamber, they finally returned to the ground, and a light snow fell in the sky, casting a haze over the otherwise clear sky.

Standing in front of the three of them was an ancient and strange cylindrical tower, about sixty meters in diameter, with a spiral stone slope on the outer wall, which could lead to the top of the tower.

In the snow near the giant tower, the three of them saw something very striking at a glance.

It was a sled, covered in a thin layer of snow, apparently just placed here.

Kakashi hurriedly jumped up to check on it, and there were serious signs of wear and tear on the sled, and the supplies on it were also hurriedly wrapped, indicating the anxiety of the sled owner at that time.

But no matter how desperate the situation was, the sled owner never gave up on his sled, which was a necessary survival material.

But now the sleigh is placed here, and the people are gone.

This shows that the sled can no longer extend his life for him, so he gives up the sled and chooses to flee alone.

After discarding the sleigh, the human footprints stretched into a half-exposed pit beneath the tower, followed by the slender, jumbled footprints of the Ancients.

Knowing that the situation was urgent, Kakashi immediately used the ninja run and rushed into the pit, and the wolf avalanche followed, only Asama Santai ran upside down with the remaining sanity in his brain.

In the middle of the pit was a deep stone path, along which Kakashi and the Wolf Tooth Avalanche were advancing at great speed.

Mile...

Mile...

Bilibili...

Bilibili...

There was a strange call ahead, and from the crisp sound of the sound, it felt like it was a bird's call.

Heading out of the narrow tunnel, Kakashi and the Wolffang Avalanche saw a large underground plaza with a beehive dome.

In this underground square, thousands of puffins up to two meters tall are roaming the square.

They are different from ordinary puffins, they are as tall as two meters, and their white fat bodies rub and collide in the square.

Kakashi and Avalanche looked at the chaotic animals in front of them in amazement, and for some reason, they vaguely felt that these great puffins were like a group of domestic animals in captivity, ready to sacrifice their bodies for the survival of some kind of creature at any time.

This guess is reasonable, as they don't have eyes, and it is impossible for them to go outside to find food, and can only be fed by some kind of creature in this underground corral.

The puffin was unaware of Kakashi and the wolffang avalanche coming, and the two violently pushed their bodies away without resistance.

Passing through the square, there is another narrow tunnel.

In this tunnel, warm air currents come from the depths of the tunnel, accompanied by a strong foul smell.

It's a foul smell peculiar to the ancients!

Kakashi knew it was close and immediately accelerated.

The shape of the tunnel became rougher and rougher, the regular lines became irregular, and the stone floor was still scratched by something.

The trail of destruction grew deeper and deeper into the tunnel, and the strongest force even slapped the tunnel into several ravines more than a meter deep.

Kakashi and Wolf Fang Avalanche marveled at the power, which was several times more powerful than the force that dented the iron plate in the camp.

Is this still the power of the ancients?

Finally, Kakashi and the Wolf Tooth Avalanche make a surprising discovery at the source of the stench.

Seven long, barrel-shaped spines stand neatly in the damp cavern ahead.
