29, Xiao

Tick...... Tick......

The cold, damp cavern reverberated with the sound of unidentified liquid dripping.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the entrance of the cave, and as the rubble fell, a huge rock wall slowly rose upward, throwing sunlight into the cave little by little.

Soon, two black shadows walked into the cave one after the other.

Once inside, you have to walk a short shallow waterway, which is so spacious that you can hear the echo of a needle even if it falls to the ground.

With long streaks of water, Scorpion and Deidara stepped onto the shore with a somewhat ugly face, and a strange figure stood in front of them, which seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"It's slow enough."

The figure turned its head, a hint of displeasure flashing in its eyes.

"Where's the stuff?"

Looking at the two people who came empty-handed, the tone of the figure immediately became gloomy, and the sharp gaze seemed to be able to chisel a hole in the other party's retina.

Seeing this, Deidara immediately lowered his gaze in a weak heart, and the huge sense of crisis slowly drained the saliva in his throat.

"The intelligence is wrong, and the arrest failed."

The scorpion opened his mouth lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

The figure did not answer, but walked towards the two of them step by step, as if each step was on their hearts, tugging at their souls.

The figure approached, its tall body enveloping the two of them like a black cloth.

"Don't make excuses, I just look at the results."

This sentence was like a huge rainstorm that swept through the entire cave.

"In the final analysis, this guy Deidara is too light, knowing that the other party is a human pillar force, but he only brought a small bag."

The scorpion's voice still didn't show any emotional change.

"There's a reason for that!"

Deidara immediately explained in a hurry.

At this moment, the rock wall not far away slowly closed, and a huge darkness poured into the nest again.

"If it weren't for those weird things holding me back, I'd be able to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the figure interrupted him.

"A mission failure is a failure, no matter what kind of emergencies arise at that time, the organization will never allow people who give up the mission and run away......"

The sound of these words echoed in the empty cave like a bell, shaking the eardrums of the two men.

The scorpion turned away without saying a word, but Deidara was still stunned, her eyes flashing with unwillingness.

If his [C3] had succeeded in exploding at that time, the final result would never have been what it is now.

He still haunts it, he really can't figure out why his bomb disappeared out of thin air, and what awaits him after great anticipation is deathly despair.

At this moment, the scorpion manipulated the mechanical steel tail and rolled up Deidara, who was still in place.

"Three days, I will give you three more days at most, if you can't complete the task, what the consequences are, you know in your own hearts."

Suddenly, the figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only the echo of the last words echoing in the cavern.

......

"Damn, I'm about to arrive in Shayin Village, but at this time, ......"

The sandstorm descended, and the entire desert seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow mist, and at the mouth of a low cavern, Naruto was anxiously staring at the wind and sand rolling rapidly outside the cave.

"Oh yes, I can't wait any longer!"

With the last bit of patience exhausted, Naruto finally couldn't sit still anymore and was about to rush out of the cave.

"Naruto, didn't I tell you that I can't be in a hurry?"

Kakashi grabbed Naruto and motioned for him to sit back and wait patiently for the sandstorm to pass.

"But ......"

"Be patient, the most reassuring thing right now is Temari!"

Sakura glared at Naruto and pointed to the hand beside her.

Compared to Naruto, Temari is obviously much calmer, and by the way, he also gave everyone a popular science.

"If you encounter a sandstorm, you should stay still in place, and you will lose your way in the sandstorm, not only can you only wander in the desert, but it is not uncommon to die of dehydration."

At this point, she looked sideways at the entrance of the cave, and continued:

"But that's okay, the sandstorms shouldn't last long this season."

Naruto's anxious expression on his face didn't diminish at all.

"Stop me!"

As soon as the words fell, as if in response to Naruto's words, a violent tremor suddenly came from under several people, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly appeared in Kakashi's heart.

"Spread out!"

Rumble!

Almost at the same time, a loud rumble drowned out Kakashi's panicked shouts, and in the next second, the originally low cave collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, Naruto reacted very quickly, and Kakashi and Kakashi brought Sakura and Temari out one by one.

"Roar!"

With a strange roar, several giant worms that stood upright at least three meters tall appeared in front of Naruto and the others, and the spiral mouthparts continued to splatter with deadly strong acidic liquid, dripping to the ground with a sizzling sound.

"This ...... This is?! ”

Kakashi was dumbfounded, he had grown so big, he had never seen a bug taller than him.

Naruto's brow furrowed, he had seen this unusual giant creature on his way back to the village the other day, but that time he had encountered a larger cat.

"Impossible...... There are no such creatures in the desert! ”

Temari's surprise is indescribable, she has lived in this desert for decades, let alone such a large worm, even lizards have never seen a few.

"Anyway, they look like they're coming over!!"

Sakura's face quickly turned on a look of horror.

Those giant worms had been hungry for almost days, their fanged mouthparts swirling, and as soon as they rolled over, their whole bodies were diving into the sand!

"It's not good, spread out!"

Several people immediately jumped to the sides, Naruto reacted the fastest, and as soon as he landed, he summoned the clone to rub a spiral pill, screaming and rushing towards the worm that protruded from the sand not far away!

"Look at the move!"

The worm couldn't dodge it, and Naruto's spiral pill pierced its body on the spot, but Naruto was also corroded by the liquid that spewed out of the worm's mouthparts.

"Wind Escape: The Art of the Great Scythe!"

Temari also reacted immediately, unfolding a three-star fan more than half a person tall and slamming forward, and the violent gale immediately cut the worm in front of her into pieces of flesh.

"Howe Fireball!"

On the other side, Kakashi ended the fight with a few fireballs, only then did they realize that the giant worm looked scary, but it was actually some small earthworm that was useless.

Seeing this, Sakura immediately geared up and jumped to try, saying that she also wanted K a head.

However, just as she raised her arm to finish off the last giant worm in front of her, Naruto suddenly rushed over with a ball and won the double kill.

Sakura, who didn't even get an assist: "......"

"Sakura-chan, don't be afraid, the monsters have all been destroyed by me!"

"β€”Naruto!!"

......

'Please specify the task reward. ’

The puppet looked thoughtfully at the system panel in front of him, and he roughly understood the use of this limited task.

One of the big differences between this mission and Dailies and limited-time missions is that it is not released by the system.

The host can take the initiative to set the task reward for a limited task, and the system will release the task with the corresponding difficulty according to the task reward set by the host.

The rarer the set task rewards, the more difficult the task will be.

The puppet hesitated for a moment, then set [Source of the Forbidden Path] X1 as the quest reward.

'The reward has been set successfully, and the quest is being generated......

Soon, the system's prompt sound came again, and the puppet couldn't help but frown as he looked at the generated task.

[Limited Mission]: Kill 50 giant creatures within 72 hours.
