Night.

Huge mountain ranges, shrouded in mist, look eerie and mysterious.

Mama led the little aster and looked up at the red torii in front of him, and the sultry air kept pouring out of the cave.

"Maitreya, is this it?"

"Yes."

Maitreya's gentle voice came into the ears of Mi Ma: "Hundreds of years ago, the spirit was defeated by the witch of the time, and the soul was sealed in the shrine of the Oni Country, guarded by the witches of the past generations, and the body was sealed in the volcanic ancestral hall of the Swamp Country, separated and disposed of. ”

In other words, if someone wants to resurrect the dragon in a complete form, they must obtain the physical body sealed in the volcano of the country of marshes in order to regain their full strength.

Mi Ma touched his chin thoughtfully.

"It seems that the stone statues and soldiers I met along the way were all smoke bombs thrown by the dragons, which were used as a means to make a sound and attack the west."

Those gargoygs seemed to him to be fierce and powerful, but they were not difficult opponents to solve, and the real key was to be in the spirits.

If the spirits cannot be sealed, as long as the dragons' power spreads, these gargoyle-like legions will continue to be created to attack the towns where humans gather.

Mianma looked at the crater below, squinted his eyes and said to himself, "Maitreya, you shouldn't have forgotten your promise, right?" ”

"Don't worry, the shrine maiden will do what she says."

In the spiritual space of the numb face, Maitreya lowered his head, and his purple eyes flashed with thought.

To date, she has predicted the deaths of countless people and has never failed.

But what will be the final outcome of Mianma, she has no way of knowing at this time.

The struggle against fate made Maitreya a little curious and incomprehensible.

Is there really a human being who can not be bound by fate?

Maitreya looked at the little aster on the side through his numb gaze again, and groaned secretly.

The "Spirit" is the dark side that the shrine maidens have stripped from themselves, and it is the other half that the shrine maidens are trying to abandon, and now its chakra has reached an unprecedented level of horror.

And the shrine maiden, who is the bright side, is actually quite the same as the dark side of the "dragon".

In other words, this witch Shion is actually the one with the best talent and potential among the witches of all generations.

If you look at it from this point of view, then with the talent of the strongest witch in Shion, plus the assistance of the strong man Mianma, it is indeed the best time to deal with the historical problem of "Dragon".

"Perhaps, correcting the mistakes we have made and getting things back on track is the true fate of Aster."

"But is it really going to be like this?"

Maitreya muttered to herself, a little dazed in her eyes.

Shion's potential is not just the amount of chakra and cultivation talent she has, her real potential is actually to merge with the "ghost" as the dark side, and then become a "shrine maiden" in a complete state.

What will happen to Aster, Maitreya doesn't know.

However, the power that can be obtained by the fusion of the divided "shrine maiden" and the "spirit" is by no means a simple one-plus-one.

Unfortunately, if you want to gain great power, you naturally have to take corresponding risks.

If you are not careful, Aster will be devoured by the "Dragon" and become a "monster" with extremely terrifying strength.

This is the reason why Maitreya is entangled in whether to tell the face numb.

If it succeeds, then everyone will be happy.

Shion is free from the fate of a shrine maiden and has a complete and free soul without worrying about the threat of the spirits.

However, if you fail, you will have to face a powerful monster who is good at all kinds of "witchcraft", insidious and cunning, brutal and bloodthirsty.

Mian Ma didn't know, and he didn't care about Maitreya's thoughts.

He was concerned about something else now.

"In the future, the Snow Country will continue to focus on the development of domestic economic and military power, but with the development of the Snow Country, sooner or later it will expand its territory, absorb more population and productivity, and transform from a neutral country into a great power."

Located between the Oni and the Ghost Country, the Swamp Country is a small country that is extremely small on the map, so its strategic value is not worth caring about at all.

But the country of ghosts is the springboard that Miaoma likes the most.

The country of ghosts is bordered by the land of snow and earth to the north, the country of darkness and the country of bears to the south, and the country of water and thunder to the west.

Among them, the country of ghosts and the country of marshes are heavily influenced by the country of ghosts, and the culture of witches is more prevalent, and in private it can even be said that they are subordinate countries of the country of ghosts.

As long as the Bloodless Revolution annexes these small countries, and then tears a piece from the territory of the Land Country while the other big powers do not react, the Snow Country can have a territory and population close to the five major powers.

At that time, the Snow Country will be lost to all, and the Akatsuki hidden in it will soon be discovered by the Five Great Powers.

But......

"It doesn't matter." He shook his head with a smile.

In the final analysis, the basis of all this comes from its own strong force.

Whether it is Akatsuki or Snow Country, they have been waiting for this unprecedented war for a long time.

What's more, Mian Ma has been laid out in the entire ninja world for many years.

Just wait for his fire to ignite that lead, and the five ninja villages will be too busy to take care of themselves, even if they want to deal with the snow country, they are powerless.

This plan began when Mian Ma came to this world, and he named it "Liaoyuan Project" in private.

"What's wrong?"

Maitreya's voice came to his mind, pulling back his thoughts that were fluttering.

"Nothing, one thing came to mind."

Mian Ma shook his head, took Xiao Shiyuan by the hand, and stepped on the road to the ancestral hall, continuing down the circular road.

The body of the dragon was sealed inside the volcanic ancestral hall.

The pavement in the cave has been artificially trimmed and spread out relatively flat.

In the recesses on both sides of the mountain wall, candlesticks are inlaid with candlesticks, and the flame of the candles is not enough to illuminate the entire cave road, so some places still appear dimly lit.

Kaka Ka ......

The stone soldiers who originally wanted to attack Mianma seemed to be controlled by a certain being, and they all made a detour to avoid the two of them.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Interesting, is this trying to invite me?"

In this way, the two came all the way to the ancestral hall.

But at this moment.

"Ho Ho ......"

The sneer that came from nowhere suddenly sounded in the ears of the numb face.

The purple-black mist rose suddenly, like an arrow hitting the body of the face of the numb.

But it seemed to be repelled by some kind of force, and before it could touch the numbness, the purple-black mist was directly bounced away.

"Huh?"

In the purple-black mist, there seemed to be a muffled voice of confusion.

Looking at the purple-black mist, his face was numb and he smiled sarcastically.

"Is this the latest way to say hello?"

The purple-black mist trembled slightly, and a deep voice sounded: "Is it the so-called natural energy again?" However, you can wrap your entire body directly. ”

"You're more fun than that glasses imp."

After a pause, the voice bewitched: "Human, I am curious about this power, do you want to merge with me, I can give you more power." ”

“…… What you call a more powerful power is the dark spiritual power of mankind? Mian Ma sighed silently, "This kind of thing is only regarded as a treasure by you monsters." ”

The purple-black mist was visibly stunned.

Immediately, his tone became low and a little colder.

"Ho-ho-ho, you're really ashamed, you're like the two idiots in there, you think you can deal with me, but the only thing in this world who can defeat me is a shrine maiden."

"I can sense your incomparably strong desires, which are your human flaws."

"As long as there is desire in your heart, as long as you dare to get out of the turtle shell, you will be swallowed by me and there will be no scum left!"

With that, the purple-black mist let out a gloomy laugh.

Then the color gradually changes, and it looks like it is about to disappear in front of you.

"You want to leave after the mouth cannon in front of me?"

His face stretched out his arm numbly, and something as black as liquid adhered to his palm.

Directly grasp the purple-black mist in his hand.

"What the hell is this?"

No matter how the purple and black mist struggled in the palm of his hand, there was no sign of breaking free.

It's like being cut off in another dimension.

And as the face numb gradually clenched his fists, the range of movement of the purple and black mist became smaller and smaller.

Until the end.

Peng!

"Human! You wait for me! ”

With a terrible and resentful wail, the purple-black mist also completely dissipated.

"Looks like it works."

Mian Ma narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I'll go to you now." ”

Just as he was about to move on, there was a roar in front of him.

Peng Peng Peng!

The sudden explosion instantly blocked the road in the cave.

Then, in this dark cave, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from the front.

Countless eyes glowing with scarlet light emerge in the shadows.

It wasn't the stone soldiers outside, but humans with black aura all over their bodies.

Many of them wore sand hide, cloud hide, and rock hide forehead guards on their foreheads.

Apparently all of them were eroded by the power of the dragons, and then became a ninja who became an unconscious puppet.

"It's finally waiting for you!"

In front of these ninjas, stood three guys dressed in white robes with masks on their faces.

It was the four members of the Huangquan Sect who had already lost one person.

Except for Kitai, who has died, the rest are Kusa, Sakina, and Shizuku.

"Oh? You're here? ”

Facing Mahjong Shion behind him, he looked at the three of them, and seemed a little surprised that they were still alive.

Didn't Dou and Naruto's side easily deal with these three guys?

Or is it ...... What went wrong?

When the three members of the Huangquan Sect heard this, they seemed to think of something, and their bodies trembled in unison.

After reacting, their faces showed undisguised killing intent!

"Look for death!"

"Instant, Shizuku, swallow Chakra!"

Jiusha, as the leader, directly gave the order.

Then, under the curious gaze of the numb, the two of them opened their sleeves, only to see the blood vessels on the slender arms bursting out, and then it seemed that there were long worms swimming in them.

Burst!

The skin on their arms burst open, and a small purple snake emerged from it, shaking its body in the air as if it were roaring.

Jiusha is no exception, and this set of operations is also carried out.

But then, the actions of the three of them made the face cover Ziyuan's eyes.

They directly tore the little purple snake apart, raised their arms, raised their heads, and swallowed half of the liquid in the purple snake's body directly into their mouths.

"Don't look at the little ones, they'll have nightmares when they go back,"

The scene in front of me really challenges the visual nerves of normal people.

"Hmm, okay~" Shion nodded obediently.

The next moment, a powerful momentum erupted from the bodies of the three Huangquan Sect members.

Rumble!

A huge pillar of purple light shot into the sky, and the terrifying shockwave centered on the three of them spread out in all directions.

Countless rubbles flew and dust kicked up.

The boulders under their feet even crack the cracks in the tunnels, and may turn into powder and shatter into the dirt at any time.

And with the fusion of the chakra, the pillar of light also gradually dissipated.

Under the stimulation of the chakra, the bodies of all three of them changed.

Kaka!

The arms of the three of them became extremely long, and they fell to the ground like some kind of strange species, and strange lines were carved into every part of their bodies.

There are several more devil-like faces.

At this time, they are like evil spirits who have climbed out of hell.

"Haha, I feel empowered!"

"I'm going to tear that kid to shreds!"

"I don't believe it, you can still be as perverted as those two guys!"

Looking at the direction of the face numbness, the necks of the three of them rotated and twisted very exaggeratedly, and even heard the sound of bones breaking, tilted their heads, and grinned evil smiles on the corners of their mouths.

Beneath their skin, snake-like creatures squirm and scurry rapidly.

It makes the faces of the three people look even more hideous and terrifying.

The eyes of the numb face were disgusted, and he couldn't help but complain: "What kind of strange species, what should I do if I leave a shadow of my childhood on Little Aster?" ”

"Moreover, with the borrowed power, even if you don't fight, you won't survive for a day."

Devouring such a large and vicious chakra is simply not something their bodies can bear.

Death is inevitable.

"Hmph, we're not going to die!"

The corners of Jiusha's mouth furled, and he said in a fanatical voice, "The great Lord of the Dragons will definitely resurrect us and give us eternal life!" ”

"In the entire ninja world, there will be only one eternal realm left!"

Obviously, under the impact of the huge amount of alienated chakra, their sanity was also affected to a certain extent.

But it also gives them even more power.

The next moment, the three of them had already attacked, and the roar of a beast roared out of their mouths.

"Roar!

！ ”

As the roar sounded, a purple-black shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out from its mouth, easily blowing a storm that tore through the rocks, and launched an attack in the direction of the face hemp.

"Earth Escape, Earth Corridor!"

The earth cracked, as if a pair of giant hands instantly surrounded the two of them.

"Fire Escape, Flowing Fire!"

"Wind Escape, Kamikaze!"

Immediately afterward, the flames slammed into the cracked ground and submerged into it, and then the kamikaze swept in, instantly amplifying the fire and spreading to the underground, wanting to completely devour the two of them!
