These colorful spikes leap over the bamboo forest, and the sound of those "bangbang" is the sound of the spikes piercing the bamboo, blocked by the tough bamboo.

Still, there were more spikes through the gaps between the bamboos, coming towards Jiraiya and the others.

Jiraiya and Sasuke knew what it meant to be stabbed by these spikes, but they didn't know that the spikes on this monster could be launched like shuriken.

The two didn't have time to think about it anymore, and Jiraiya pounced on the nearest Naruto, and Sasuke pounced on Sakura to avoid the spikes stabbing them.

However, it backfired, and when Sasuke knocked down Sakura, who was distracted, Sakura's body was knocked down, but her arm was lifted up due to the reaction force, and it happened to be pierced on her forearm by a spike.

The spikes quickly passed, and Sakura woke up from her state of absence due to the pain in her arm.

A spike was about the same length as kunai, and the tip of the front of the spike was almost all under the skin of Sakura's forearm.

The swelling pain in her muscles and the stinging pain of the spikes touching her bones, combined with the fact that the fear in her heart was not fully digested, made Sakura scream in pain, and then immediately fainted.

However, even so, Sasuke did not dare to pull out the spikes on Sakura's arms, because according to the information that had been confirmed, if the spikes were pulled out in advance before the liquid in the spikes was injected, the person would die directly.

If you look closely at the spikes, you can see that the ends of the spikes are translucent, fingernail-like materials, and the green liquid inside is slowly injected into Sakura's arm like a syringe.

As a result, the blood vessels near Sakura's forearm also turned a distinct green color and bulged out as if they were infected with some particular vascular disease.

There was no way, Sasuke could only watch as the green liquid behind the spike became less and less, until it disappeared, and then he dared to pull the spike off and bandage Sakura's wound.

In fact, Sasuke thought of another way to save Sakura just now, which was to cut off Sakura's entire arm.

As long as you cut off the entire arm while the venom in the spike is in the arm, you will theoretically avoid contracting the immortal disease, and you will not die because of forcibly pulling out the spike.

It's just that Sasuke can't make such a decision for Sakura, if Sasuke himself is hit by this kind of spike, he will not hesitate to give up part of his body.

On the other hand, Jiraiya carefully removed an uninjected spike from the bamboo next to him, wrapped it in a cloth, and carefully packed it in his backpack.

"Sakura! Sakura! What happened to you? ”

At this time, Naruto finally recovered from his state of distraction and hurriedly stumbled to Sakura, who was unconscious.

"It's okay, she's not dead, she's just been stabbed by the monster's spikes."

Sasuke's tone was indifferent, which immediately aroused Naruto's displeasure.

"Sakura-chan is like this, you're still so calm!"

"Sakura-chan is a companion!"

Naruto grabbed Sasuke's shirt menacingly, but Sasuke remained unmoved, a pair of calm and terrifying eyes staring directly into Naruto's angry eyes.

"So what?"

"What?"

"I said so what?" Sasuke said indifferently, "And compared to you, Sakura's companion, didn't you do anything just now?" ”

"Stand there, are you stupid by what you just saw?"

"Crane tail?"

Sasuke's later words had a distinctly provocative flavor, which made Naruto even more furious.

"You bastard!"

Naruto threw his right hand into a fist and swung at Sasuke, but was beautifully defended by Sasuke's arm, and then Sasuke punched Naruto in the stomach with a backhand.

Naruto's strength is not what it used to be after Miaokiyama's training, and when he sensed that Sasuke's fist was about to hit him, his body immediately jumped backwards and was out of the range of the attack.

Jiraiya on the other side looked at the two people who were tense, and he could only sigh in his heart.

Although he succeeded in convincing Sasuke to come back to carry out a mission that was beneficial to Konoha Village, the gap caused by time and distance really couldn't be erased overnight.

Just as Jiraiya was about to step forward to ease the tense atmosphere, suddenly there was a roar from the center of the three of them.

Immediately afterwards, the ground under the feet of the three of them trembled, and the soft and damp ground on the ground inexplicably arched out a bag of soil with a diameter of about three meters.

As the earth arched open, a figure was exposed.

A huge slug emerges from the ground, its long strip covered in spikes, and at the tip of the spikes are two eye stalks and black eyeballs on the eye stalks.

Judging from the spikes all over the body, this is very similar to the monster in the lake just now.

But the monster in the lake just now has three eye stalks, and this one only has two.

There is also the difference in the color of the eyes, and the body of the monster in the lake just now is brown, while the monster in front of him that comes out of the soil is a dull blue-white.

There are all kinds of signs that this slug is not the slug-shaped monster in the lake just now, but a real slug immortal.

It was this slug that Tsunade came out of the spirit in Konoha Village.

Obviously, the Slug Immortal is still in the Wet Bone Forest, but the Slug Immortal has also been infected into a Slug monster with the same spikes as the monster just like a normal slug.

Because I've seen the slug immortal who came out of Tsunade's psychic many times, Jiraiya recognized it at a glance that this was Tsunade's psychic beast slug immortal, and roughly understood what was going on.

"Live slugs!"

"Live slugs!"

Jiraiya tried to awaken the slug immortal's sanity by calling out the slug immortal's real name, but at this time, the slug immortal completely ignored Jiraiya, and his huge body kept coming out of the dirt.

In order to avoid the "deadly" spikes on the slug immortals, everyone had to retreat in three directions, and Sasuke also dodged to carry the unconscious Sakura away from the place.

However, the ground here was much softer than expected, and the movement caused by the huge body of the slug immortal coming out of the dirt was too great, and the soil under the feet of the people in the three directions suddenly sank.

The bamboo forest on the ground fell along with the dirt, and Jiraiya, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were instantly wrapped in infinite darkness and fell into the unknown abyss.

...

In the darkness, Jiraiya slowly got up from the ground.

Surrounded by darkness that I couldn't see my fingers, I could only take out the fire fold that I just had in my arms.

Picking up the lit fire fold and looking around, Jiraiya found himself in an unknown space.

It's an enclosed space with a road ahead of it, presumably some kind of underground tunnel.

As for why it is called an underground tunnel, rather than an underground cave, it is because the tunnel here is very spacious and flat, and can accommodate at least five people walking side by side.
