Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 98: Phantom Butterfly (Additional chapter for Pure Man)
On the banks of Longquan River.

The fire is burning fiercely.

Wreaking havoc at the Hirata residence.

Fighting, killing, and screaming together weave a human tragedy!
Although Higanbana had seen this scene from the secret crystal a long time ago, the personal experience was definitely different. After all, the former was a bystander, while the latter was an integrated part.

Light and shadow, sound and shadow, touch, smell, taste, etc.

All while creating atmosphere and conveying a sense of reality.

Higanbana sighed: "How can other dungeons compare to this secret realm?"

She has been participating in adventures for nearly ten years and has seen many dungeons. Tianyun City is not one in a million, but at least one in ten thousand of the best first-class dungeons.

Currently.

There are four main secret realms in Tianyun City:
Death Labyrinth, Tower of Blasphemy, Valley of the Brave, Tomb of Heroes.

To be fair, these four secret realms are all of high quality, especially the Heroes' Tomb, which is also a story-telling secret realm. Adventurers can learn about the legendary stories of ancient heroes by investigating different tombs.

Tianyun City is updated irregularly.

New hero stories are constantly being added.

Adventurers are quite interested in this secret place.

After experiencing the deeply immersive role-playing in Miracle City, Higanbana now feels that the narrative style of Hero's Tomb is too old-fashioned and lacks a sense of immersion.

Couldn't fit into the story.

Just an outsider, an investigator.

The most amazing thing about Miracle City is that the character materials it provides are perfectly integrated with the world. Every character and all details in this world are highly self-consistent and full of unexpected surprises and innovations.

Higanbana glanced at the prosthetic arm on her left arm.
"It's not exactly a memory!"

She judged that she was now at the Hirata residence three years ago. It was not entirely a memory recall, but more like a special time travel. This experience was truly amazing.

"Come on, Captain!"

"Whether we can open this branch line today depends on Boss Higanbana!"

"..."

Many adventurers including Feng Zhongmian, Lonely Swordsman, Wangchuan Sanren and others came to the crystal to watch the battle.

Although the Time Traveler is the discoverer of the hidden plot, he has little energy left and his skills are not strong enough. He will definitely not be able to find the final result today.

Adventurers have high hopes for the red spider lily!
She said without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will definitely break through here today. Everyone, just wait and see how I make a scene!"

Hirata Mansion is quite large.

Time is precious, so act now!

Higanbana's operating level is indeed several levels higher. After using the ninja prosthetic arm to enter the outer residential area, she eliminated several waves of patrolling bandits in just a few moves without any setbacks.

She commented:

"The strength of these bandits is average, most of them are at the first-level two-star level, and a few can reach the first-level three-star level."

"As long as there are no more than seven of them at once, they basically pose no threat if I strike first!"

A series of clean and decisive attacks.

Successfully obtained several important items including the blowgun and ninja axe.

"nice one!"

Higanbana said excitedly: "These are ninja tools that can be used to transform ninja prosthetic arms. They can give ninja prosthetic arms more mechanical capabilities, thereby exerting more powerful combat effects!"

"Take the blowtorch, for example."

"This thing is equivalent to a small flamethrower."

"I think it will be very convenient to use it against the red ghost!"

Higanbana explained the tactics and some important item information to everyone.

The adventurers outside were listening very carefully. Nancy Liya even took out a small notebook to draw a map, and then wrote down the distribution locations of the soldiers' props. These were all extremely valuable and important information!
Soon after.

Kill to the entrance of the main house.

The time traveler is stuck here.

There is an elite enemy here, Anaconda Chongzang. If ordinary people want to defeat this guy, they will have to suffer eight or ten times!
If you see an anaconda for the first time, it will hide again.

The red spider lily certainly doesn't have the confidence to succeed in one go.

This enemy was indeed quite skilled, but since I had watched the battle beforehand and had sufficient understanding of his moves, I was at least 70% confident at this moment.

"There are two difficulties in this battle!"

"Firstly, the anaconda has thick skin and strong muscles, and is quite skilled and powerful, so it's really not easy to deal with."

"Secondly, Anaconda Shigezo is the bandit leader, and he has a lot of miscellaneous soldiers around him. If we can't clear them out in time, even with the highest skills, we won't be able to win."

Clear out the miscellaneous soldiers first!
Although he had memorized the positions of the miscellaneous soldiers in advance, he did not act rashly at this moment. He used the rockery and woods for cover, carefully lying in wait for the opportunity, and then quickly eliminated seven or eight enemies.

"who?"

Anaconda Chongzang was drunk.

Only then did he realize that all his men were dead.

He flew into a rage and locked onto the invading ninja, "You are the loyal dog of the Goddess..."

Without even waiting for him to finish his words, Higanbana immediately rushed forward and launched an attack.

Dang Dang Dang!
Match the numbers!

Sparks kept flying.

The red spider lily is taking steady steps.

Each strike was just the right amount to wear down the anaconda's hidden posture.

Although Anaconda Chongzang has some attacks that he cannot withstand, such as large-scale poison spraying and sumo grappling techniques, Higanbana is mentally prepared, and with the wolf's strong danger foresight, he can always resolve them easily.

The Lonely Swordsman admired him and said, "As expected of someone who fought Ashina Genichirō for over thirty rounds, the Captain's compatibility with Wolves has almost reached its limit!"

Feng Zhongmian: "So Anaconda Juzang is just this badass. His fighting style is too clumsy!"

A few rounds down.

The anaconda was at a clear disadvantage when it hid itself.

The rough and tough skin was covered with knife marks.

"hateful!"

He suddenly took a few gulps from the gourd, then sprayed the liquor onto the blade. He then let out a ferocious growl, "You can't defeat me, let alone save the Son of God. You don't even know who your enemy is... Just accept your fate!"

"I don't recognize your head!"

The two sides exchanged several more blows.

Higanbana suddenly realized something was wrong. Most of her body felt numb, and her reactions and movements became slow for some reason.

"The knife is poisoned..."

The way he sprayed the wine just now.

He was actually poisoning the blade.

He had never seen this move before, so he was completely unprepared. During several knife fights, the venom on the blade splashed onto his body, causing poisoning.

"Hahaha, God's loyal dog, how are you going to fight me now!"

Anaconda Chongzang became arrogant and launched another fierce attack.

Even though Higanbana had been caught in the opponent's trap, she remained undeterred. Even though she was inferior to the enemy in terms of speed and strength, and even though most of the opponent's moves were unstoppable, she still had a way to fight back.

She fought with Ashina Genichirō for more than thirty rounds.

They have long adapted to fighting under such extreme conditions.

She was able to maneuver through a situation that would have been fatal for other adventurers.

After several rounds.

Anaconda Juzo failed to capture the adventurer.

Higanbana felt that her body was gradually returning to normal. Although the toxin that made the body numb had a rapid onset, it did not last long, and the initiative was returning to her hands.

"hateful!"

The anaconda hid again and tried to use the same trick to poison again.

How could Bana give him this opportunity? She immediately switched from defense to offense and slashed furiously!
Dang Dang Dang!
The anaconda hid its strength and was exhausted.

Unable to reveal a flaw while maintaining the posture.

"die!"

Higanbana felt a red ray of light appear in her heart, and with both hands she used all her strength to activate the wedge ball and thrust it forward fiercely. This time it successfully penetrated the flesh and passed through her heart.

Stir and pump.

Blood gushed out like a column.

The ball was sprayed several meters away.

The anaconda Chongzang fell down powerlessly.

His eyes were wide open and he died with his eyes open.

The adventurers couldn't help but marvel at this wave of operations:
"We took down an elite enemy in our first encounter!"

"The boss is the boss!"

"I can't accept it!"

Higanbana was also very satisfied. This battle was actually quite dangerous and extremely difficult. She believed that apart from Mr. Baihe, no other adventurer in Miracle City could do better.

"A small character is not worth wasting time on!" He pretended to be cool.

Explore the main house area now.

She soon found several important people in the area.

The first one was none other than Wolf's adoptive father. This old man named Xiao appeared in the middle of a burning courtyard with multiple fatal wounds on his body, leaning against a huge rock, dying.

"Father!"

"It is you……"

Xiao is barely breathing at this moment.

"I was too careless this time...it seems I am really too old!"

"Don't waste your energy. This injury is incurable..."

Xiao used all his strength to take out a key and threw it on the ground: "This is the key to the secret Buddhist temple... The Son of God is there..."

There are clues about the Son of God!

The red spider lily was invigorated.

"Wolf, please remember the ninja's rules... the master is above all else!"

Done.

He lost consciousness.

"Father!"

Higanbana hurried to check.

The owl has died and has no vital signs.

For a moment, she could feel a faint sense of sadness emanating from the body she was controlling.

The other adventurers were also moved by this.

"What happened? Our adoptive father died just like that?"

"This is the adoptive father who raised Wolf for twenty years. At the moment before his death, he was still educating Wolf and asking him to abide by the ninja's precepts and mission!"

"He looks fierce, but he seems to be a respectable old man!"

"Yeah, unlike that scumbag Ichiro, who has no bottom line or honor, he's a complete despicable villain!"

"..."

Although the owl is usually harsh, cold and unkind.

But after all, he is the adoptive father who raised Wolf for twenty years.

Not only did he give his most outstanding son to the Son of God, he also died protecting the Hirata family. He is truly a loyal minister!

His death,

Many adventurers felt sad.

There is no time for sentimentality in the red spider lily. It puts away its keys and takes action immediately.

She met Inosuke and his mother inside the main house, which had not yet been completely burned down.

Inosuke's old mother is the grandmother who handed the guardian bell to the wolf three years later. She was a servant of the Hirata family. Now she has gone crazy because of the terrible hallucinations and the excessive stimulation.

Inosuke is a retainer of the Hirata family.

He fell seriously injured near the entrance to the secret Buddhist temple.

He recognized Higanbana: "You are... Shenzi's ninja..."

We can also communicate!

Higanbana asked: "What on earth happened here? Why did it become like this!"

Inosuke said with difficulty: "I advise you not to go there again. That illusion is too terrifying..."

Illusion?

What an illusion.

Higanbana didn't understand why but said firmly: "As a ninja of the Son of God, it is my duty to protect the young master. Please tell me what happened!"

Inosuke said with difficulty: "If you insist on doing so, I still have some naruko that can break the illusion... I entrust everything to you!"

Done.

This loyal retainer also fell into a coma.

Inosuke did not die, but he became disabled as a result of the battle. Three years later, he and his mother lived in an abandoned house, and their living conditions were extremely miserable.

Even so, the mother and son still have their hearts set on the Son of God.

The adventurer came to this place after obtaining the guardian bell from the old lady when she was going mad and about to die.

This loyalty moved the adventurers.

"What exactly is Jiulang's ability..."

Nancy Liya murmured, "Why would so many loyal and righteous people risk their lives to protect him, while villains like Ashina Genichirō would stop at nothing to get him?"

Feng Zhongmian was also very emotional: "This is no longer important. We cannot let down the expectations of so many people. No matter how difficult it is, we must rescue the Son of God!"

Mao Mengmeng shouted: "Come on, Boss Higanbana, you must kill the mastermind behind this!"

"Yes, kill the mastermind behind this and avenge our adoptive father!"

"..."

Higanbana found some strange seeds on Inosuke.

[Ming Seed], a secret realm item... Introduction: This is a type of violet seed that makes a loud noise when crushed, and can be used to break the effects of illusions.

"Is this the Narutane that Inosuke mentioned? It turns out to be a special item that can counter illusions!"

She immediately entered the secret passage.

When you push open a wooden door at the end.

The scene she saw made her stunned.

This is the secret Buddhist temple of the Hirata family. It is rectangular in shape and has four thick pillars.

The walls are lined with rows and rows of Buddha sculptures. These stone sculptures, which look quite ancient, are not only numerous in the hundreds but also lifelike and have different shapes.

In front of the temple is a huge gilded Buddha statue.

It was fifteen meters tall and majestic, but half of it was collapsed, revealing a hollow belly.

Suddenly come in.

There is a sense of oppression as if being overlooked from all directions by the gods and Buddhas.
The wooden roof of the Buddhist hall has been affected by the fire, turning into a blazing inverted sea of ​​fire, which is surging, boiling and bursting with waves. Sparks and broken wood are constantly falling, eventually forming an enclosed stage with a very oriental aesthetic!

The adventurers didn't understand what oriental aesthetics was.

However, you can feel the atmosphere and metaphor conveyed by the scene.

"Son of God!"

A familiar figure appeared in the center of the Buddhist hall.

This person was dressed in plain clothes and had blank eyes. He was the young master Jiulang, who looked a little immature at this moment.

Jiulang stumbled forward, muttering, "Father... Mother... Madame Butterfly... Where is everyone?"

This is... an illusion!
Higanbana makes judgments based on the wolf's memory.

She quickly stepped forward to support him and used ninja techniques to wake him up.

At this time, an old woman's voice came from the Buddhist temple: "Long time no see...Son of Xiao..."

Higanbana protects Jiulang behind her.

Although I have never seen the person in front of me.

But she had found the answer from the wolf's memory.

"Oh it's you!"

"You did all this!"

An old woman appeared in the Buddhist temple. Her face was full of wrinkles, her white hair was tied behind her head, and her fingers were as slender as dead branches. Although she looked old, her steps were light and graceful, and her eyes were gloomy and sharp.

This person is Madame Butterfly, also known as the "Phantom Butterfly".

A ninja master from the Usui Forest in northern Ashina.

He is a top ninja who is proficient in illusion!
He is also Wolf's teacher.

“Please leave here!”

Higanbana tells Jiulang, who has just woken up, to leave quickly.

Jiulang was still confused at the moment: "Then...what about you..."

"I have something I have to finish!"

As Higanbana spoke, she slowly pulled out the wedge-shaped sword, the blade flashing coldly in the firelight, and then she took a fighting stance.

now.

Inside the burning Buddhist temple.

Flames kept falling.

This place could be completely destroyed and engulfed by fire at any time.

In such an extremely dangerous environment, amidst the raging sea of ​​fire and the gazes of gods and Buddhas, the former master and disciple engaged in a confrontation, and it was destined to be a difficult showdown!
