Toad-ji returns from the middle tunnel mouth, which puts a happy expression on Jiraiya's face.

"Did you find the exit? Toad Ji? ”

"Nope."

Toad Ji shook the huge toad's head, and then said, "But I found something else." ”

"What's that?"

"You'll find out if you come and see."

Led by Toad Ji, Jiraiya and Toad Dragon hurried through the tunnel, and after passing through two forks, Jiraiya saw an unusual place in front of them.

In front of Jiraiya is a dead end, and there is no road ahead.

But at the end of this dead end, there is a wooden chest that is not knee-high, and next to it is a collapsed candlestick, a dried inkwell, and an old quill.

There were thick cobwebs hanging from them, but not much dust had fallen.

However, the mere fact that these things are placed in this underground tunnel without any flora and fauna is already very suspicious in itself.

As for those old goods, there was nothing to see, and Jiraiya directly aimed at the wooden box.

The wooden box was rudimentary, with the top and front open to reveal some of the dusty yellowed books inside.

Jiraiya reached out and took out the book on the top of the wooden box, gently dusted off the book, and finally saw the words on it.

The book is called The Apocalypse of Gracchi.

Gracchi's Apocalypse?

What era is this book?

Judging by the yellowed pages and the dust on them and the location where the book appeared, it is clear from Jiraiya that the book's origin is very ancient.

But the strange thing is that there is no obstacle in reading these words by myself, and there is no difference in writing and grammar on them as they are now.

Jiraiya took out the remaining books in the wooden box, trying to find the answer from these books.

However, the same title is written on the cover of these books.

The difference is that on the spine on the side of these books, the books are divided into volumes.

There were eleven books taken out of the wooden box, which were volumes 1 to 11 of the Revelation of Gracchi.

With such a strange title, if it is placed in an ordinary bookstore, or if you see this kind of unknown book in daily life, you will definitely disdain to open it.

Compared with reading, there are more interesting things in life.

However, it is not the same when these books appear in the underground tunnels of the Wet Bone Forest.

Because it's most likely the diary written by the last person trapped in the labyrinth of an underground tunnel and unable to escape.

Or maybe he had already escaped, after all, there were no human bones to be seen nearby.

Although it is doubtful that there was a person who could write an eleven-volume diary while trapped in the underground tunnels, Jiraiya still subconsciously believed that there were any clues about this place.

So, he also opened the first volume of the "Gracchi Apocalypse".

This is an old-fashioned loose-leaf book, and each page can be removed by a vintage binder hidden inside the spine.

And the page is not a neat and tidy print that is common today, but a handwritten handwriting full of a sense of age, and there are a relatively large number of traces of modification on it.

It shows that this is not a simple book, but also the original manuscript of the book, which can best restore the wisdom of the author's original intention.

Leaving aside the discomfort of the reading experience, he was quickly drawn to the book.

Or rather, the knowledge in the book has attracted all the consciousness in the brain, and even forgot about the environment he was in and the two toads who were waiting next to him and felt bored.

As the reading progressed, Jilai became more and more fascinated.

He lit the fallen candlestick with a fire breaker, and read it fearlessly in the flickering light of the fire.

That period of unknown secret knowledge was also poured into Jiraiya's brain in large quantities during this time.

Jiraiya's body trembled slightly, and his hands holding the "Gracchi Apocalypse" were shaking like the flickering candle flame next to him.

[Get 700 Shiver Points from Jiraiya!] 】

[Get 400 Shiver Points from Jiraiya!] 】

...

As knowledge accumulated, Jiraiya's brain unconsciously felt an unprecedented "learning experience".

A volume...

Two volumes...

Three volumes...

A handwritten book that wasn't too thick was stacked aside under Jiraiya's reading, and then Jiraiya didn't bother to rest, so he immediately picked up the next book and read it.

Jiraiya has never read a book so fascinated, and this "Glaqui Apocalypse" is the first book in Jiraiya's life that allows Jiraiya to immerse himself without distractions and read for a long time without caring about sore eyes.

The content depicted here is full of blasphemy, and the perception in it is completely different from the current ninja world.

But after seeing quite a few strange creatures, seeing the giant slug creature in the Wet Bone Forest Lake, and seeing such inexplicable facts and existences, he can only believe the contents of this book.

Because this book is a book written by the hands of the ancients by absorbing the wisdom of the inhabitants of the lake.

The first book of the Apocalypse of Gracchi explains what Gracchi is.

This is the apocalypse about Gracchi, but Gracchi is not the name of some human sapient, but the name of "something" that dwells in the lake.

The book describes Gracchi as "a colorful metal with life".

Gracchi did not belong to this world, he came to this world by meteorite, and formed a lake at the place of impact, using the water to wrap and hide himself.

And because the shell of the meteorite is a seal for Gracchi, Gracchi has not been able to leave the lake.

Gracchi didn't need to eat, the only thing that mattered to him was to absorb the life force of the human race, otherwise he would be too weak to escape the meteorite seal.

Gracchi's way of drawing on human life force is by piercing the multicolored metal spikes of his body into the human body.

While the person who was stabbed still retains his consciousness, in reality, the person who was stabbed by the metal spike has lost his life force and has become a kind of "living dead", known as the "Servant of Grachi".

The Servants of Gracchi are mental beings, but their bodies are dead, so they will not die again due to physical damage, and their actions will be governed by Gracchi.

This half-dead state will last for about 60 years before the body withers naturally like a normal person.

However, during this time, if the body is exposed to sunlight, it will enter a state called "green rot".

Green decay is irreversible, and causes the body of the Servant of Gracchi to disintegrate and die within three days.

...

This is all knowledge that I have also read from the book of Revelation Gracchi.

What's more, Gracchi is one of the Old Dominators!
