Chapter 77 Death Worm
The ground was blasted into several large craters, and half of the hillside was gone.
Tsunade possessed unparalleled strength, scattering the limbs of the charging venomous scorpion everywhere.
That's really violent.
Mo Jingxian's eyes twitched involuntarily; the visual impact Tsunade had given him was so shocking.
Two punches, one kick.
They easily dealt with the charging scorpions; those scorpions were quite large, with the smallest being about three meters long.
The result was that these terrifying monsters couldn't even last a single round against Tsunade.
Super Strength, or rather, Heavenly Guard Kick, is a ninjutsu that involves compressing chakra to its extreme and then unleashing it instantly.
Although the principle is simple, Mo Jingxian had never seen such an extreme burst of power in anyone else's hands.
She seemed capable of crushing everything in her path; anything that stood in her way was as fragile as paper.
The reason for this effect is inseparable from the combination of chakra control and chakra quantity.
And Tsunade perfected both of these skills.
And that is indeed the case in reality.
She developed her talent to such a high degree that even her destruction possessed a violent beauty.
Aburame Shiki examined the scorpion's corpse, then shook her head at Tsunade.
The two seemed to be looking for something, perhaps related to the mission.
The six set off again, but this time at a slower pace.
The reason is simple: all the species here have a talent that allows them to hide and even escape the detection of the White Eyes.
They can integrate the energy vibrations within their bodies with their surrounding environment.
It is easy for people to overlook them and mistake them for part of the environment.
The last insect horde was like that; each insect contained a very small amount of chakra, and because they blended into the environment, they were almost indistinguishable from the surrounding sand and gravel.
Tsunade's face showed a hint of anxiety; she was always the first to act whenever she encountered a monster.
Fortunately, the juicy worms came in yellow, green, and blue, but none were a deep red like fresh blood.
Three giant centipedes lay at Tsunade's feet. She frowned and rubbed the soles of her feet on the sand.
The result was not as expected; Aburame Shiki still hadn't found what she was looking for.
"How much time has passed?" Tsunade asked, her face tense.
"Ayako, take a careful look around and see if there are any other giant insects nearby."
"Half an hour has passed," Shizune replied.
Ayako Hinata activated her Byakugan, and this time she deliberately lowered her observation range, fixing her gaze on a radius of one kilometer.
She looked very carefully, abandoning the 360-degree perspective and searching piece by piece.
A rustling sound came from the centipede's corpse, and Mo Jingxian looked over.
Countless tiny chakra worms were crawling there, gnawing away, the sound coming from the friction between their mouthparts and exoskeleton.
When You Nuzhi saw Mo Jingxian looking over, she nodded almost imperceptibly as a greeting.
"Captain, something's up."
Ayako took down her longbow: "To the northeast, 50 meters underground, there are traces of a large insect crawling through."
"Can you estimate the size of the insect?" Tsunade asked, a hint of delight flashing in her eyes, pointing to the more than three-meter-long centipede corpse.
How does it compare to these?
"Much bigger." Ayako looked in that direction, her voice filled with shock:
"Judging from the traces left behind, it should be a kind of underground worm, at least two meters in diameter."
Her answer initially surprised everyone: how long would a worm that's two meters thick have to be?
Mo Jingxian tried her best to sketch it out in her mind, but she still couldn't get a complete picture.
In short, it will be very long, longer than you imagine.
"Chase!" Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she immediately set off.
The group followed, with Ayako guiding the way based on the traces left by the worms, while Mo Jingxian and Kakashi stood guard on either side.
During the pursuit, they attracted several waves of insect attacks. The team had no time to linger and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
The Wind Scorpion Realm truly lived up to its name; beneath the grayish-brown sand lay billions of venomous insects.
Scorpions were the most numerous among them.
After running for twenty minutes, Ayako Hyuga suddenly stopped.
Her body trembled slightly, and her lips quivered as she uttered two words: "We've arrived."
"Where are the bugs you mentioned?"
Ayako pointed ahead and said, "Yes, it's underground."
The expressions of the others also began to turn serious.
Ayako's gestures covered a considerable area, roughly estimated at two to three thousand square meters.
Now, if the ground is occupied by a worm, how big would it be?
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, everyone waited for the captain to make a decision.
Tsunade has already arrived here, and there is absolutely no possibility of her retreating.
She hesitated for less than half a second before giving instructions: "Mo Jingxian and Kakashi, come in with me. The three of you go and keep watch on the perimeter."
"Yes."
Time waits for no one; the team had already been active in this area for an hour and a half.
Let alone the boundary pearl, I didn't see anything other than insects.
Extreme violence, extreme beauty.
Tsunade leaped high into the air, her head bearing two planetary explosions, and landed directly above the area.
In an instant!
She fell like a shooting star.
"Sky Guard Kick!"
"Rumble..."
Dust and sand flew everywhere, and a crater nearly ten meters in diameter was smashed into the ground.
The vibrations spread through the earth, and the sound traveled a long distance.
A figure leaped out from the bottom of the pit, and Mo Jingxian and Kakashi landed beside her.
I waited for a while.
"Not coming out?"
Just as Tsunade was about to strike again, the earth suddenly began to tremble and shake.
Numerous cracks of varying sizes appeared within a radius of one kilometer.
The earth's energy surged upwards, shooting out like a fountain.
The solid sandy soil suddenly surged like a raging wave.
The three of them dodged in an instant, and Mo Jingxian casually added icy wings to the two of them.
"Moo!"
The roar was like that of a bull, soaring straight into the sky.
A dead worm emerged from an unknown depth underground.
Ayako's information was still too conservative; the worm was nearly three meters in diameter.
The exposed portion of the body is nearly thirty meters long, while the length buried underground is unknown.
It stood upright, its wrinkled skin gleaming with a metallic sheen.
It lacks eyes, ears, and other organs; a gigantic mouth almost occupies its entire head.
It swayed in the air a few times, then suddenly split open a huge mouth, pointing towards the direction where the three people were.
"Get out of the way."
Mo Jingxian felt like she was being targeted by a prehistoric behemoth. Before she could finish speaking, she vanished like smoke.
Tsunade and Kakashi reacted equally quickly.
The two men shot off in opposite directions.
Just as the three of them dodged, a loud noise came from behind them.
The tremors traveled through the ground beneath their feet, no less than the commotion Tsunade had caused earlier.
Mo Jingxian turned around and glanced back.
The next moment, it felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by someone's hand.
There, a piece of the ground that was just flat was suddenly missing.
There was no explosion, not even a speck of smoke.
A pit three meters in diameter suddenly appeared, as if an invisible giant hand had drilled a hole into the earth.
"Moo—"
Another high-pitched roar erupted from the beast.
A tidal wave of air surged in, carrying a foul stench, and whipped up a gust of eerie wind.
Now he saw it clearly.
The monster's mouth was filled with three rings of sharp, steel-blade-like teeth, each tooth as large as its own arm.
The sharp teeth are densely packed in the mouthparts, which are spread open, and the outer circumference expands by several meters.
Monster, this is a complete monster.
"It's in!"
The shouts carried far, tinged with excitement.
Mo Jingxian was overjoyed at the sight of the insect; he had never seen such a large insect before and was ready to learn how to use it properly.
Although the worm was large, it didn't seem to contain much chakra.
Or rather, its talent lies entirely in its physical attributes.
Mo Jingxian, like a shadow, moved swiftly to the left and right, and in a few flashes, he arrived beneath the Death Worm.
An arrow arrived before him, and with a "clang," it was deflected.
If it weren't for the circumstances, he would have really liked to give Ayako a thumbs up.
No matter what you say, she's incredibly courageous.
If people in the ninja world dare to use kunai to stab Susanoo, why can't they use a bow and arrow to shoot worms? That doesn't make sense.
"Go to hell!"
Someone was even fiercer than Mo Jingxian, and attacked before him.
Tsunade's golden hair flew wildly as she leaped up, unfurling her ice wings and arching her body.
The next instant, the fist, wrapped in extremely compressed chakra, transformed into a streak of light.
"boom!"
At this moment, she was like a Valkyrie, unleashing an unstoppable force as she heavily struck the monster.
A scream was accompanied by a large amount of bodily fluid spurting out.
Tsunade dodged, and Mo Jingxian's attack immediately followed.
The icy wings were elongating, their edges sharp as blades, with countless tiny wind blades spinning around them.
The figure moved with lightning speed, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The wound that Tsunade had just blasted open was now twice as big as it had been.
"Layton Thousand Birds"
Kakashi's attack followed immediately, and the three of them completed a perfect combo in an instant.
Beside the giant worm, three tiny figures flickered once.
Not only did it leave a two-meter-long wound on his body, but it also skillfully dodged all the attacks.
The three people watching from the sidelines were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this what genius is?" Shizune murmured to herself, gazing at the three people in the arena.
His clenched fist was still tightening, his surging emotions rising and falling with the actions of the people in the room.
She had never even considered participating in a battle of this magnitude.
In my memory, only a three-person level expert would have the capacity to withstand an attack of this strength.
Aburame Shiki remained calm as always, except that several captive ninja insects were moving in and out of his body.
Ayako Hyuga carefully put away her longbow and watched the show obediently.
She just sneaked over and fired a shot.
He immediately came to terms with reality and now obediently stays by their side.
However, I was still a little unwilling.
I've tried my best, but I still can't keep up with the immortals.
What's even more infuriating is that the basic runes I obtained first have now been surpassed by that kid Kakashi. What an enviable talent!
Just then, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
The dead worm suddenly tightened its grip.
Immediately, a cloud of poisonous smoke billowed from its enormous mouth.
There were almost no warning signs, and it wasn't even any ninjutsu.
The poisonous fog erupted swiftly, enveloping the entire battlefield in an instant.
The area is spreading, and at a rapid pace.
"withdraw!"
Yu Nu Zhiwei was the first to realize that something was wrong, and immediately led the two girls back nearly a hundred meters.
The scene was completely obscured by the yellow-green poisonous fog, making it impossible to see anything.
