078 The free ones are the most expensive
On the border of the Land of Fire, near a forest in the Land of Rain.
Orochimaru stood on a treetop, raised his hand to unlock the seal on the white snake's eyebrows, and suddenly had an extra memory in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning.
It is not yet known whether this trip to the Dragon Earth Cave will be able to learn immortal arts and strengthen the chakra to the strength of the blood inheritance limit.
But there is a group of treasures to take over the research of the first generation of cells, and there is always an extra way back.
Rustle rustle......
Suddenly, a wild boar nearly 20 meters long jumped out of the forest, sniffed on the ground with its dark arched nose, and from time to time turned over the soil and devoured the roots and bulbs of the tree.
Seeing this, Orochimaru licked his lips, put away his previous thoughts, jumped down from the treetops, and pounced on the wild boar.
…… After depriving the wild boar of its ability to move, Orochimaru sealed his hands, "Psychic technique!" ”
The white smoke cleared, and a purple python appeared in the forest.
Ten thousand snakes condescended, looked around, and after making sure that there were no enemies around, they fixed their eyes on the wailing wild boar, a little displeased, "Orochimaru, this stupid pig is not worth the sacrifice of two hundred people." ”
said it with a straightforward and shameless face, completely forgetting that he had pit Orochimaru in the first place.
“……”
Orochimaru stood with his arms crossed, smiling silently, if it weren't for the trip to the Dragon Cave, the ten thousand snakes would still be of some use, and this pig would not give it to it.
Still want two hundred? Give you half and be content.
After a long time of receiving no reply, the snake snorted unpleasantly, then twisted its body, wrapped itself around the snorting and wailing boar, opened its mouth and began to devour.
"I thought you were going to catch people and feed them to ten thousand snakes."
The god of lights looked at this scene in amazement, thinking that it was a living sacrifice, but he didn't expect that this 'person' was just a unit of measurement.
This porcupine is four or five thousand kilograms at least, but it is not about a hundred or ten people.
And seeing the impatient look of the ten thousand snakes, the lamp god was a little puzzled, "It's just a wild boar, and it's not impossible to catch it with the ability of the ten thousand snakes, as for the appearance of eating so ugly."
"Ten thousand snakes can catch it, but it doesn't have that chance." Orochimaru smiled and explained,
"The Dragonland Cave is located in the realm of the Land of Stones, where there are only large stones and small stones, and it is very desolate, unlike the forests of the Land of Fire, where there are no prey for the slightly larger ones.
And...... Without the permission of the White Snake Immortal, the snakes in the Dragon Land Cave are not allowed to leave the cave without permission."
"I see." The lamp god nodded slightly, comprehending the meaning of Orochimaru's words.
With the instinct of a cold-blooded animal like a snake, if you use the country of stone as a hunting ground, you can imagine what kind of tragedy will happen.
Humans are much easier to hunt than animals with a crisis instinct.
But if this kind of incident happens, no matter what kind of immortal holy land it is, Longdi Cave will inevitably be strangled by the joint efforts of ninja villages from all over the world.
The reason is also very simple - if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and your body will be punished.
Naturally, the White Snake Immortals would not sit back and watch the extinction of the dead race in order to satisfy the appetite of the little snakes.
Moreover, ordinary people actually don't have anything to eat, and the ninjas who go to the Dragon Land Cave every year to practice immortal arts are the high-level snacks that can satisfy their cravings.
The god of lights glanced at the ten thousand snakes and continued to ask, "According to what you said, there must be abundant food resources in the Dragon Land Cave, what exactly do they eat?"
Although Longdi Cave is a holy land of immortal arts, it is obvious that cultivating immortal arts cannot fill the stomach, and ten thousand snakes, a waste snake, will not use immortal arts, and can grow so big, completely passively accepting the erosion of natural energy.
"There are only snakes in the Dragon's Cave, what else can they eat?"
Orochimaru grinned, showing his teeth, and suddenly spoke, "Ten Thousand Snakes is not only the king of ten thousand snakes, but it is also the one that has devoured tens of thousands of great snakes, so it is named after it." ”
The law of the jungle, feeding on the same kind in nature is just common.
"No, it can't be."
The god of lights shook his head, but he didn't deny the law of the jungle.
Under Orochimaru's surprised gaze, he explained the 'producer-consumer-decomposer' ecosystem model,
"Although it cannot be generalized that there is extraordinary power in the ninja world, it is generally true, and the snake at the bottom of the food chain cannot appear out of thin air."
Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned slightly.
The scientific level of the ninja world is not backward, but compared to the other world, it is much more deformed, and most of the technology is highly bound to war, and there is a great lack of how to interpret the world.
Food chains, ecosystems...... It's a new word for Orochimaru, and he's never seen the world from this angle, so he can't answer it at this time.
"Maybe the big snake eats the small snake, and the little snake eats the mouse and the worm......
Orochimaru gave an answer at random, but seeing that the lamp god was not satisfied, he still had to dig deeper, and wondered, "This is just some ordinary things, is there anything important?"
"It doesn't matter if it's important, but by peeking at the leopard in the tube, you may be able to reveal some of the characters of the White Snake Immortals."
The lamp god glanced at Orochimaru and said with a smile, "Although the environment can shape personality, at the level of the White Snake Immortal, this sentence is the opposite, and the environment is an extension of its will."
"For example, in Konoha, there are three generations of 'Will of Fire', and in the roots, there is also the 'Will of Roots' of Danzo, and those under him can only be promoted if they obey their will."
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, he had a deep understanding of what the lamp god said, and why didn't he put his will on his subordinates.
Compared to Konoha, the Dragon Land Cave is a hall of words for the White Snake Immortals, and without the constraints that the old man and Tuan Zang have to face, the character that can be seen may be a little more accurate.
"Last time, you failed to obtain immortal magic and barely escaped your life, although this time you entered the normal mode of the breathing method, how much more is it possible?"
The Lamp God smiled, "If you can exchange this 'request' for exchange, and exchange free of charge for payment, the probability of success will be much higher."
"You see, isn't it precisely because the toad of Miaomu Mountain wants Jiraiya and the 'Child of Destiny' that he will carefully teach him immortal arts."
"You know, the free ones are the most expensive and unreliable."
Hearing the end, Orochimaru's eyes were a little weird, and it was really convincing for the lamp god to say this.
After a moment of silence, Orochimaru flew up to the top of the head of the ten thousand snakes and asked, "Dragon Cave, what is the food for you snakes?" ”
Ten thousand snakes bulged out their throats high, devouring wild boars, and were stunned when they heard the words, "Huh?!" ”
Orochimaru repeated the question again, and Ten Thousand Snakes snorted arrogantly, "Why are you asking this?" Uncle Ben is under no obligation to answer you. ”
Orochimaru didn't talk nonsense, he directly separated a shadow clone and flew towards the distance, "Answer my question, and then catch a prey for you." ”
"I want two."
Trying to make the process of swallowing the wild boar a little smoother, Wan Snake raised his head and said proudly, "That's what I deserve from my uncle." ”
