As he absconded towards the village, Shikamaru kept glancing at his surroundings with his eyes.

As the night deepened, the otherwise dead woods became more and more restless, and the roars of all kinds of strange animals mingled together, making it impossible to tell which animals were calling.

But some of these trivial sounds weren't nocturnal creatures in Shikamaru's memory, but they were screaming along with other animals at this moment.

It's as if they are violating their own biological laws, changing from daytime to nocturnal activity.

These indescribable roars made the three Shikamaru who were fleeing inevitably nervous, as if they were hurrying over the territory where the monsters were entrenched.

Not only that, but when he saw the ground, Shikamaru's senses, which had become particularly acute due to nervousness and restlessness, caught up in a lot of details.

Plants that were ordinary at the time of their arrival now exude such strange colors, and some flowers bloom like animal distortions, blooming with all kinds of flowers of strange colors that should not belong to them.

And at night, these plants seem to show some kind of crazy growth momentum, and the grass that was normal height when it came has now become a tall grass that can bury human traces.

In the tall, lush grass, no one could tell if something resembling the sound of an insect was really an insect or something else...

Now in the woods, apart from a small amount of green grass and leaves, it is difficult to see any normal colors.

Everywhere are those dense, pathologically growing, prismatic mutant plants.

These plants of strange colors and shapes, combined with a pale layer of pinkish purple above the plants, form a strange hue that has never been seen in any corner of the world.

Pink-purple hell!

[Get 1400 shiver points from Shikamaru in Nara!] 】

I don't know why, Shikamaru came up with this word in his head.

Now these green plants, which symbolize life and vitality, have become ominous due to the pollution of pink and purple, and the sheep's beard grass contemptuously displays their morbid charm after twisting and mutating.

Thankfully, the confusing colors and plants weren't going to affect the Shikamaru trio for the time being, as the Shikamaru were able to travel like ninjas from the canopy at the top of the tree without falling back into the pink-purple hell.

As for the large trees, although there is also a small amount of pink-purple, it is still relatively dull.

Shikamaru only hoped that this gloom would last until the three of them returned to Star Ninja Village, as they saw that pink and purple were creeping up the treetops along the trunks.

For a color that has been judged not to be a gas, or even a physical body, Shikamaru actually uses the verb "crawl" to describe that action.

Shikamaru didn't know what was wrong with his brain.

Silent all the way, the three of Shikamaru silently endured all kinds of amazing changes in the woods, endured this depression and uneasiness, and finally escaped back to Star Ninja Village.

Falling back to the ground, Ino gasped uncontrollably with his hands on his knees.

Obviously, it is not a long distance from the depths of the woods to the Star Ninja Village, and with the physical fitness of a ninja, he should have enough endurance to deal with this journey.

Shikamaru knew that Ino was already trying his best to restrain the fear and uneasiness in his heart.

In that section of the road just now, Ino relied entirely on the will of the ninja to control his body and constantly jump to the canopy in front of him, instead of stumbling into the pink-purple hell below.

However, returning to Star Ninja Village does not mean that it is completely safe, because those pink and purple colors in the woods are spreading, and sooner or later they will spread from the woods to Star Ninja Village.

According to Shikamaru's speculation, these horrible creatures came here with the help of meteorite shells, and then infiltrated the woods, causing a change in the local environment.

Judging from those distorted and fused monstrous animals, this change is not a positive change, but an irreversible mutation and degeneration.

The side effects of this meteorite are even more terrifying than the meteorite in the Star Ninja Village two hundred years ago, and its damage to the surrounding environment is no longer limited to the human body that cultivates special chakras.

Ideally, this change should be subtle, at least giving people time to react, but in fact, it only took three days to go from a normal forest to that "pink-purple hell".

If it continues at this rate, the people of Star Ninja Village will soon be affected.

Or has it already been affected?

Shikamaru couldn't help thinking of the tomato he had eaten during the day, but Shikamaru immediately suppressed the cranky thoughts in his heart and hurried to the center of the village, ready to tell Akashi and the villagers what happened in the woods.

Shuttling through the farmhouses and houses of Star Ninja Village, Shikamaru and the three of them noticed that something was wrong.

"Shikamaru, why isn't there anyone on the street?"

Akido Dingji's question is very correct, although it is getting late now, and a large number of ninjas have been sent out during the day, there should not be no one on the streets of Star Ninja Village.

Shikamaru's face was solemn and he didn't answer the question right away.

But next to a courtyard, Shikamaru stopped and looked into the courtyard next to it.

I saw that this courtyard was the place where the three of them ate tomatoes during the day, but now these tomato fruits, which were unusually full during the day, showed an astonishing shrinkage.

A rich gray color appears on the skin of the fruit, which was originally full of attractive redness, and it used to be just good to look at and disgusting to eat, but now even the only thing worthy of praise is not worth looking at at at all, and the taste is even more conceivable.

Shikamaru reached into the bamboo fence and tried to pick a tomato, but as soon as he put the tomato fruit in his hand, the tomato shattered like a congealed clod of earth.

At the same time as the tomato shattered in Shikamaru's palm, that strange light floated out of it again.

Looking at the roses, zinnias, hollyhocks, etc., which the family had planted in the front yard, all of them looked filthy and blasphemous, Shikamaru suddenly understood.

Wrong!

Those colors didn't spread from the woods to the village, but from the village to the woods!

These colors present two stages of plant mutation, the first stage is when the plant grows wildly and causes the plant to produce strange fruits, like the tomato during the day and the tall grass and flowers of different colors in the forest at night.

In the second stage, these wild plants will be in a state of wilting, as if they have lost all their vitality, just like the tomatoes in front of you and the flowers in the front yard.

In other words, it is too late to warn the villagers!
