"What is this?"

Sakura, who came to the water's edge, happened to see countless ovoid silhouettes floating up from the black water, and she screamed in fright.

The number of these oval profiles is in the tens of thousands, if not more.

They come in different shades, but the only thing they have in common is that they are all floating up.

Boom...

Boom...

One after another "eggs" surfaced, and on the surface of the lake in the black water, everyone dared to be sure that these eggs turned out to be the corpses of slugs!

The slug carcasses were the same as the one that first surfaced, with festering wounds on the surface and almost a quarter of their bodies dragging behind them as if they were melting ice cream.

"These are... Slugs? ”

"They're all dead?"

Sakura couldn't believe what she saw, and the entire lake was covered with dense slug corpses, like countless ocean balls floating in a children's pool.

It's just that these "ocean balls" alone can scare children into crying.

Naruto and Sasuke next to him were calmer than Sakura, but the surprise on their faces was not hidden at all.

With so many slug carcasses floating above the black water, an inexplicable strange feeling permeated around the lake.

But this is far from the end of the matter, because in Sakura's casual glance, the eye handle on the front of a slug's body actually moved.

"Ahh It's moving! ”

Sakura screamed, but before Jiraiya, Naruto, and Sasuke could ask Sakura what they had seen, more slug corpses moved.

The withered, festering, decaying slugs writhed their disgusting bodies and swam slowly toward the shore.

The slug corpse is alive again!

How can it be!

At this time, everyone was subjected to a double mental and physical test, and these terrifying creatures came like a tidal wave, leaving oil stains on the surface of the water they swam.

"What now!"

Sakura's tone was not one of calmly asking for advice, but rather a scream of horror.

And Sasuke next to him flashed forward directly, circled his right index finger and middle finger with his thumb, and a tongue of fire erupted from the circle, converging on the black water lake in front of Sasuke.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

The tongues of fire gathered into a fireball more than two people tall and rolled towards the slugs on the surface of the lake.

In an instant, countless slugs surging towards the shore were swallowed up in the firelight in the sky.

"Great! Sasuke-kun! ”

Sakura didn't hesitate to praise Sasuke, but Sasuke's gaze at the firelight didn't look at Sakura at all.

Suddenly, Sasuke frowned, sensing something was wrong.

I saw that on the surface of the lake near the shore, the slugs crawled out of the rapidly fading fire, and the flames remaining on their bodies disappeared immediately.

"This is close to the water source, and your fire will soon be extinguished."

Jiraiya's hands are sealed, and a ninjutsu is quickly used.

"Fire Escape: Great Flame Bomb!"

A large amount of oil was sprayed from Jiraiya's mouth and sprinkled on the surface of the lake, and then at a certain moment, the oil curtain was ignited into a fire curtain, igniting the entire surface of the lake near the shore in one go.

These fires are created by the combustion of oil, which floats on the surface of the water, so Jiraiya's fire escape technique is more durable, and it can form a natural flame protection wall on the surface of the lake.

Looking at the reassuring fire in front of them, everyone's nervous hearts relaxed a little.

"Fortunately, the use of ninjutsu will not be restricted in the Wet Bone Forest, otherwise it will be a big trouble."

Jiraiya's half-joking tone soothed the emotions of the three little ones, but the eyes in his eyes still glanced at the fire curtain by the lake from time to time.

Although Sasuke's fireball technique is not very durable, and the damage is not high in this water environment, it can still burn those slugs at least in an instant.

Slugs themselves are animals that can only live in humid conditions, and if it is a flame, it is enough to kill them in an instant.

Don't...

The egg-like creatures in the curtain of fire reappeared, the oil spilled on them still burning, but they did not stop, let alone die.

At this time, Zilai dared to be sure of the bad premonition in his heart just now.

"These slugs are also infected with immortality like those villagers!"

Damn it!

Jiraiya cursed in his heart and commanded: "Retreat first!" ”

I learned the general situation of the immortal disease from Tsunade, and I also knew that I couldn't kill these slugs no matter what, so I had to retreat for the time being.

Fortunately, these slugs, which look more like some kind of undead creatures because they are bathed in flames, are still a little slow to crawl compared to ninjas, and it should be easier to escape.

But just as everyone was about to turn around and retreat, a louder voice came from the Blackwater Lake.

It was a distinct, strong sound, like some kind of huge figure rising in the depths of the lake.

Strings of huge bubbles continue to rise to the surface of the water as the lake's inhabitants move, and then burst in the air with a gurgling sound.

This voice made the four people who wanted to turn around and retreat all stop in their tracks, and turned back to look at the center of the lake.

At this moment, everyone's sensory organs were firmly chained to the center of the lake that hinted that something was about to rush from the depths of the lake.

Suddenly, the slug carcass that was swimming in the middle of the lake was suddenly lifted up by something underwater.

Spikes pierced through their bodies, like skewers.

Underneath the spikes, a larger, terrifying form revealed its true form.

It was a huge slug-like creature, and the part that floated on the surface of the lake alone was nearly two people in diameter.

From its ovoid body sprouted countless spines that shimmered with a multicolored metallic sheen, and in front of Jiraiya and the others was the round, thin, foamy-looking face at the front of the monster.

Above this face, three stout eye stalks stand up, with three eyes set at the tip like topazes.

With his appearance, the undead creatures who had been bustling with activity just now also fell silent, and the whole lake seemed to turn into a pool of stagnant water.

Terrifying ripples rippled from beneath the monster toward the shore, and at the same time, in the terrifying silence of the air, three pulsating eye stalks moved slowly, with the top three eyes aimed at the four men standing on the edge of the lake.

He's watching them!

This moment is suffocating...
