Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Looking at Wu Xie with his hands flat, I felt a little uncomfortable. I put Wu Xie's hands together in front of him, took out a bag of French fries, picked out the longest one as a stem, and arranged the fries of roughly the same length in a circle in front of Wu Xie.

The fries and daylily fritters were ready, and Wu Xie remained peaceful as ever. A Ning, looking at the steaming snail rice noodles, hesitated before joining the slurping crowd.

The three of them finished eating quickly. Hyuga Hoshino handed tissues to A Ning and the young man. Wang Pangzi was still not satisfied and was about to speak when a piece of Original Recipe Chicken was stuffed into his mouth. Wang Pangzi was stunned for a moment but still chewed it with gusto.

"It's delicious."

Fatty Wang chewed heartily, and in between chews said something. Wu Xie's nose twitched. "Hmm? Snail rice noodles? Where did you get snail rice noodles from the tomb?"

"Wu Xie, open your eyes. I am your cousin, Wu Xingye."

Hinata Hoshino raised his voice, his voice deep and powerful. Wu Xie opened his eyes and looked at A Ning, Xiao Ge, and Hinata Hoshino. He squatted down and looked at him. There were three empty bowls in front of him, as if he was looking at some rare animal.

Wang Pangzi was still struggling with the Original Recipe Chicken when Wu Xie's stomach rumbled. He scratched his head sheepishly, felt something in his palm, opened his hand, and found a French fry lying quietly in his hand.

There was a ring of fries on his body, somewhat resembling a flower. Wu Xie remained silent, grabbed a handful of fries, stuffed them into his mouth, and disposed of the evidence.

"I took a picture."

Hinata Hoshino spoke at an inopportune moment, causing Wu Xie's face to flush red. His stomach continued to rumble, and Wu Xie's expression fell as he pointed to the empty bowl.

"Give me one."

Hinata Hoshino took out a steaming bowl of snail rice noodles, which Wu Xie snatched away and slurped up large mouthfuls of noodles. He looked like he was starving.

Fatty Wang let out a satisfied burp, "Burp," he thought, "I'm full, I'm full." He patted his belly contentedly.

Hinata Hoshino grinned crookedly. The plan had succeeded. He had said that if someone went down into the tomb, someone would get a pounding pound, and sure enough, someone would get a pounding pound.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group began exploring the tomb passage. Hinata Hoshino, standing behind them, lowered Er Kang's hand and rolled his eyes. This tomb really held no secrets.

It's unclear whether the meteorite copper in the Queen Mother of the West's Palace or the ghost cave in the ancient city of Jingjue can obscure his vision.

Many footprints appeared on the ground, not large, about the size of a child's footprint.

Wu Xie leaned closer and smelled it. "It's adipocere."

"Are there zongzi?"

Fatty Wang's expression hardened. The young man continued joking. Fatty Wang looked at the young man helplessly. His acting skills were beyond words.

"What kind of zongzi? Is it for eating?"

"Fried, for use."

Hinata Hoshino replied, and Aning looked at the jade gate at the end of the passage not far away. Judging from the time, the tomb should have changed by now.

Hyuga Hoshino gathered Wind Release chakra in his hands. Although he hadn't completed the nature transformation or learned any ninjutsu, he could still manage to reduce air resistance.

A hand slapped behind A-Ning's back. "Ah!" A-Ning exclaimed in surprise. However, she immediately felt a lightness on her body. Hyuga Hoshino nodded towards Yumen. A-Ning gave Hyuga Hoshino a grateful look.

They ran quickly toward the Jade Gate. The three of them were drawn to A Ning's startled breath and realized that A Ning was running toward the Jade Gate at great speed. They hurriedly chased after her and did not notice that Hyuga Hoshino was left behind.

A large porcelain bottle rolled in the direction Wu Xie had left. Hyuga Hoshino stepped on the bottle, stopping it.

Feeling the force from the porcelain bottle, he lifted his foot and stomped down, combining his chakra burst with the power of the Konoha Fist Style, and the porcelain bottle shattered instantly, its fragments flying in all directions.

A white-haired figure staggered to his feet, as if he were drunk.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear".

Spikes rose from the ground, fixing the white-haired figure in place. It looked like a little drought demon that had escaped from the belly of a female corpse.

"System, copy."

[Congratulations, host! You have gained a ten-year lifespan, the ability to create barren land, a one-hundred-year lifespan, and the talent of tough skin. Do you wish to fuse with these attributes?]

"Fusion."

Five copy chances were used, the third time yielded what was desired, and the fifth time's talent could only be described as a victory after a high-stakes gamble.

Ninjas are generally fragile; apart from a few with special ninjutsu and secret techniques, most ninjas have high attack but low defense. This time, Hyuga Hoshino's survivability has greatly improved.

After all, he really couldn't defend against a shuriken thrown from 800 miles away.

As the Red Earth ability merged, Hyuga Hoshino felt his Wind Release Chakra, Fire Release Chakra, and Earth Release Chakra fusing together, likely merging into Scorching Release and Lava Release.

Sure enough, there was an unexpected surprise.

"The system panel has been opened."

Chapter 20: Xiao Ge Reveals His True Form, Wu Xie's Bottle Technique

As soon as Wu Xie and his two companions ran into the tomb passage, the jade gate in front of them disappeared, and when they turned around, the tomb chamber behind them was also gone.

Seeing that there were only three of them left, the young man decided to lay his cards on the table. Since his identity as Baldy Zhang had only resulted in their alienation, he decided to stop pretending and become the leader of the Wudang Sect.

With his bones shifting, the rich woman's happy hand reappeared. Although Wu Xie had witnessed Xiao Ge's bone-shrinking skills on the "ghost ship" before, he still marveled at it.

After tearing off the mask, the young man stretched his neck and felt much more at ease.

“There were other people there before.”

A brief explanation made Wu Xie ponder. Xingye? It shouldn't be. A Ning, that doesn't seem likely. Then it's just the team A Ning brought and a few people on the ship.

But why would the young man be wary of them? He had tried to lift that black gold ancient sword, but he couldn't lift it at all; it weighed at least several dozen kilograms.

Xiao Ge's dance moves are incredibly powerful and impressive; in Wu Xie's opinion, his skills can only be described as extremely rare. The reason it's not described as unparalleled in the world is because Hyuga Hoshino's are simply superhuman.

Wu Xie instinctively felt that the person or force that Xiao Ge was wary of might be related to Wu Sansheng's disappearance.

Hinata Hoshino looked at the bottles and jars nearby, hesitating whether to put them away. This was the Wang family's territory, and who knew if these bottles and jars were modern handicrafts that they had exchanged.

The items previously given to Xie Yuchen have been arranged for auction by the New Moon Hotel, and the first payment should be deposited into my account soon.

This money needs to be converted into gold and stored in the system space. In most worlds, gold is a hard currency, so you won't lack money when you go to other worlds.

He took out a giant storage scroll, as tall as a person, from the system space and swept all the bottles and jars in the tomb chamber clean. It wasn't full yet; he would fill it up later.

Hinata Hoshino raised his hand and glanced at the non-existent watch on his wrist. Hmm, it should be about time. From his Byakugan perspective, a door was moving towards him.

A non-existent bell rang in his ear, and a door appeared in front of him. Hyuga Hoshino walked in, and there was a small pile of gold and silver inside. This was a brand new version that you had never seen before.

Hinata Hoshino looked at the items. Only a small portion was pure gold; the rest was silver plated with gold. "Old Wang, don't pretend to be rich if you don't have money."

Hinata Hoshino thought to herself, but her hands moved quickly, collecting everything. She returned to the previous tomb chamber and waited for the next elevator.

A brand new passage appeared. As he walked through it, he noticed that the tomb door behind him was gone. Hyuga Hoshino didn't care, because a few more steps forward would lead to the tunnel.

As soon as Hinata Hoshino entered the passageway, he saw Wu Xie beating up a sea monkey. Wu Xie picked up a bottle and hit the sea monkey hard, leaving it stunned.

Wu Xie watched as the bottle hit him, then closed his eyes and swung it back, mimicking the movement. The bottle's movement was masterful; what excellent bottle-wielding technique! He had truly underestimated Wu Xie. Whose subordinate was this, to be so valiant?

Seizing the opportunity, the sea monkey clapped its hands together, shattering the bottle. Wu Xie was left empty-handed, staring blankly at the sea monkey.

"Eight Trigrams - Empty Palm"

"Paji"

The sea monkey was slammed against the wall, and Wu Xie exclaimed with delight, "Hoshino, you're here!"

The sea monkey leaned against the wall, slid to the ground, braced itself with its arms, struggled to its feet, and shielded Wu Xie behind it.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

A fireball of compassion appeared and struck the sea monkey. Before the sea monkey could make a sound, its body burst into flames.

Before long, only a pile of ashes remained on the spot. The Great Fireball Technique is jokingly called the Merciful Fireball because it never kills, but its power is still considerable.

The sea monkeys all say it's great. Can the sea monkeys say "no"? They can't even speak properly, okay?

Wu Xie and Hinata Hoshino walked towards a nearby tomb chamber. Wu Xie recounted the events that had occurred to Hinata Hoshino, but Hinata Hoshino seemed somewhat distracted while listening.

Inside the tomb chamber, there was a large pool of water. Hinata Hoshino's eyes lit up. He took out a fishing rod from his system space, removed the hook, replaced the fishing line with a steel wire, tied a piece of gold jewelry to it, and threw it into the pool.

If all goes well, we should be able to catch a fat mermaid and a young male mermaid.

The fishing rod began to tremble. Hinata Hoshino weighed the rod in his hand; it was quite heavy.

With a sudden tug, a plump mermaid drew an arc in the air before landing belly-up. Wu Xie noticed that Wang Pangzi's belly seemed to bounce.

"Grumpy"

The guy who was secretly observing him peeked out from under the water, looking at Hinata Hoshino with a resentful expression. "Do you think you're funny?"

Hinata Hoshino gave an embarrassed smile, and Wu Xie went up to help Xiao Ge, who then got ashore.

"Ouch, I'm going to fall and die!"

Fatty Wang cried out in pain, clutching the gold ornament tightly, unwilling to let go. He glanced at Hinata Hoshino out of the corner of his eye, clearly intending to keep the item for himself.

"Give it to you."

Fatty Wang quickly got up, untied the wire from the gold ornament, and put it into his bag, looking as if he was afraid that Hinata Hoshino would take it back.

"Want something to eat?"

"eat."

This time, it wasn't Fatty Wang who spoke first; it was the young man. Hinata Hoshino winked at him, but the young man kept his eyes fixed on his toes.
