Xia Yu sighed lightly and walked towards the direction of the animal's cry.
Along the way, not to mention people, even ordinary houses were not seen. It was deserted and there were only rows of dense forests...
“Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!”
The howling is getting closer...
Xia Yu hid behind a tree and found several ninjas fighting with several huge summoned beasts.
Judging from the mark on the forehead protector, he is undoubtedly a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.
They were accompanied by two men in white coats and a young girl with red hair.
Because the number of summoned beasts was too large, the Kirigakure ninjas were defeated step by step and were soon forced into a corner.
"Damn it! These beasts are such a nuisance!"
"Honoka! What are you still hesitating about? Seal them now! We're going to die if we don't use your power! Make it work!"
“I…I…!” The red-haired girl was so frightened that her face turned pale and every part of her body was shaking.
Seeing her like this, the ninjas cursed:
"This piece of trash! I don't know why the higher-ups let her follow us. She's simply a burden!"
"Don't count on her! Let's concentrate our strength on the final blow and use the Water Array Wall Technique together to stop these beasts!"
"Okay! Let's do it!"
The Kirigakure ninjas performed the same action together, quickly forming hand seals and shouting in unison:
"Water Style: Water Wall...! Ugh!"
Before the water curtain appeared, a giant spider spirit beast suddenly shot out several spider webs from its abdomen, wrapping all the people together.
The spider silk is extremely sticky, and no matter how hard the ninjas cut with kunai, they cannot cut it.
Fortunately, the red-haired girl was standing at the back of the crowd and was not affected by the spider web.
Seeing that everyone around her was entangled, the red-haired girl was completely desperate and collapsed on the spot.
The giant spider quickly contracted its web, and its bloody mouth opened and closed, and the trapped people immediately became its meal.
The giant centipede nearby became angry when it saw that the spider had monopolized the food, and actually started attacking the spider.
Just as the two ferocious spirit beasts were fighting fiercely, another giant python spirit beast noticed that the red-haired girl was still alive. It shrank its body, opened its big mouth and rushed towards the girl.
Also pouncing towards the red-haired girl were a giant black bear and a giant praying mantis.
Xia Yu saw it all. From the moment he saw the girl, he knew that she was the member of the Uzumaki clan that he was looking for.
The outsiders have been cleared out, it's time to take action.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
An oversized fireball came out from Xia Yu's mouth. When the fireball appeared, the temperature around it rose rapidly. These psychic beasts had never seen such a huge fireball before. They no longer cared about food and fled in all directions.
This forest finally regained some peace...
After the crisis was resolved, Xia Yu slowly walked to the side of the young lady.
"Girl, are you okay..."
The girl seemed not to have heard anything. She curled up in the corner with her head in her hands, and kept shouting, "Don't eat me! Don't eat me..."
"It's all right now. They've all run away."
"......?" The girl raised her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. She looked around and then fixed her eyes on Xia Yu: "Who... who are you?"
"I came here for tourism, and now... I am your savior."
"It was you... who saved me?" The girl couldn't believe it.
The man in front of him looked only slightly older than him, so how could he be so powerful?
The girl quickly reminded him, "You better leave here! This place is full of all kinds of mutant spirit beasts that eat people. It's not suitable for you to travel around. You will die!"
"Hehe..." Xia Yu smiled and replied, "Since this place is so dangerous, why are you, a weak woman, wandering around here..."
"I, I'm not weak..." The girl lowered her head deeply, with a guilty look on her face: "I just...can't exert my own strength. These people died because of me. I failed their expectations of me. I...I really deserve to die!"
Suddenly, the girl raised her head and looked into the distance in horror, as if she had sensed something terrifying: "Oh no!"
As soon as the words fell, the ground began to vibrate violently.
The psychic beasts hiding nearby were originally preparing to attack Xia Yu and the girl, but when they sensed the ground shaking, they all showed panic expressions and began to flee in all directions.
Xia Yu was stunned: "What's going on?"
The girl quickly stood up, grabbed Xia Yu's hand and ran while saying, "Follow me to a safe place! The monster is awake!"
"Monsters? Aren't there all these things around me? No need to run, I can handle it..."
"Don't try to show off! Those mutant summoned beasts just now are not on the same level as it. It has killed hundreds of elite ninjas!"
"Oh?" Xia Yu's eyes lit up: "It's quite strong, then I must get to know it well, it just so happens that I need a spiritual beast right now..."
"Don't be so arrogant, run!"
"..."
This was the first time Xia Yu was led by a woman for a run.
Looking at this delicate and quiet girl, I didn't expect her to be so strong.
After running for about 10 minutes, the girl dragged Xia Yu into a hidden wooden house.
"Huh...huh..."
After entering the wooden house, the girl slumped down in the chair as if relieved, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"We're...we're saved. Don't worry, we'll be fine. I've set up a powerful barrier outside the cabin in advance, so the monster doesn't dare to come in."
Xia Yu rolled his eyes at her, questioning: "Are you sure this barrier works? You couldn't even deal with an ordinary spirit beast just now..."
The girl explained hurriedly: "I am very strong, really very strong! It's just that my strength is not under my control. Sometimes I can use it, and sometimes I can't..."
Xia Yu: “Oh…”
"you do not believe?"
"No, I believe..."
"No, you obviously don't believe it. This is the evidence. It's too perfunctory..."
"Ah this..." Xia Yu shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect that this little girl had such a strong personality. He was too lazy to argue with the girl about such boring things. He just sat aside, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it leisurely.
After the two were silent for a moment, the girl looked at Xia Yu's profile, her cheeks slightly red, and said softly:
"Thank you for saving me before. My name is Honoka. What's your name?"
"Heh...it's been so long since you remembered to thank me."
"I, I was too impatient just now..."
"Forget it. Since your tea tastes good, I won't bother with you for now. My name is Xia Yu. Tell me where that monster came from and what its abilities are. If it is indeed valuable, I plan to take it."
"Are you…are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"Uh..." Seeing Xia Yu's insistence, the girl slowly began to tell the story of the monster:
"One day, the originally peaceful village was suddenly attacked by unknown life forms..."
"Then, the fog came..."
……
Chapter 98 The Truth of the Psychic Island
"Under the thick fog, a huge insect-shaped monster with a human face appeared in the village. It began to eat people non-stop, and it seemed that it could never be full..."
"In order to kill this monster, the Daimyo of the Sea Country hired ninjas from the neighboring Kirigakure to help. However, the monster was so strong that no matter how many ninjas were sent, they were no match for it."
"Not long after, various large mutant spiritual beasts appeared on the island one after another. They also fed on human flesh or their own kind..."
"The daimyo knew that if things continued like this, everyone would die, so he took the people around him and fled to other islands to build a capital at night. The surviving villagers also left one after another..."
"Later, this island became a paradise for psychic beasts."
"The horror of that insect-shaped humanoid monster is unimaginable. Not only is it huge, but its eyes are whirlpool-shaped and possess extremely powerful pupil power. It can even use illusions!"
"It feeds on humans and other summoned beasts. Once it swallows a creature, it will absorb the creature's abilities from its lifetime and use them for itself. Because it has swallowed hundreds of ninjas alive, it can use all of their ninjutsu!"
"The most important thing is that it will evolve!"
"The more it eats, the faster it evolves. Its current body shape is at the second stage of evolution. I don't know how many stages it will evolve into. I only know that when it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a complete body, it will probably be a disaster for the world!"
"The ally of the Sea Country, the former Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Karutagi Yagura, named it the Ultimate Summoning Beast and sent batches of powerful ninjas to try to kill it and save the villagers of the Sea Country from the water and fire. Unfortunately... there has been no success so far..."
When she said this, Honoka clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and sobbed:
"The Mother Island of the Sea Country has now become a hell, and it's all because of this monster!"
"I was an orphan who was stranded here. After something happened here, it was Mizukage-sama who saved me. He said that I have magical powers and will be the future savior. He asked me to stay here with his subordinates and work together to suppress this monster and other summoned beasts..."
"For this, I worked hard to stimulate my potential. I thought I had learned a lot, but today I killed a group of ninjas from friendly countries. It's all my fault..."
After listening to Honoka explain everything, Xia Yu just looked at her silently without saying a word.
Xia Yu, who was familiar with the script, knew that things here were far from as simple as they seemed.
But even if I tell her the truth about my suspicion, I don't think she will believe it.
Or go and see it for yourself...
At this time, the earth no longer vibrates.
Everything returned to calm.
"Honoka, do you know where that monster is?"
"I know that the Kirigakure ninjas built a secret laboratory near its home, from where it can be clearly observed."
"Okay, take me there, I want to take it away from here..."
"No! That guy couldn't even deal with the Mizukage-sama, how can you possibly beat him! You're my savior, I don't want you to go and die."
"Don't worry, I won't die. If you really want to repay me for saving your life, just listen to me."
……
Honoka and Xia Yu walked out of the wooden house. Under her guidance, the two of them wandered around and soon came to a secret underground laboratory.
After entering the laboratory, Xia Yu was shocked to find that the wall was made of transparent glass, and outside the glass was the monster's cave.
A human-faced monster that looked like a giant caterpillar was quietly sleeping in the cave. Its belly was bulging, and it was obvious that it had eaten a lot.
Xia Yu exclaimed: "This laboratory is really ingenious..."
"Well, this is specially built to facilitate the extraction of its genes. There are several hidden holes on the glass. Every time it sleeps, the staff here will drill the needle through the holes to extract its genes..."
"Oh? What do you want to do by extracting its genes?"
"I don't know about this either. I guess it's to better study its weaknesses..."
"Hehe..." Xia Yu shook his head helplessly.
It's really rare to see such a simple girl.
It's quite amazing that he was deceived to this extent and didn't even realize it.
Honoka didn't notice Xia Yu's expression. At this moment, she was looking at the photo on the table and crying.
"Uncle Yamada, Uncle Jingsen, I'm sorry..."
The two people in the photo are the two white coat workers who died in the spider's mouth not long ago.
Xia Yu did not try to comfort her, nor did he provoke the big bug that was sleeping soundly. Instead, he kept rummaging through the drawers in the laboratory looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
Honoka noticed Xia Yu's unusual behavior and asked cautiously, "Aren't you here to kill this monster? Could it be that your real purpose is to steal something from this laboratory?"
Xia Yu was too lazy to pay attention to this straightforward idiot and continued to flip through the pages.
"Stop it! Those are my uncle Yamada's things!"
