Chapter 443 Black Myth: The Tree Demon Granny

Orochimaru looked surprised. He had also been to that ruined town and had not found any aura emanating from it.

Although I don't like Orochimaru

However, Akainu knew that since a cooperation had been reached, there was no need to hide some information. He said with a serious expression, "Although you killed the Black Wind Mountain bandits and could be considered a boss-level dark monster, you were a pseudo-boss after being corrupted by the black blood of the third layer [Centipede Master].

His tone was slightly disdainful, meaning, don't think that killing the Black Wind Mountain bandits makes you any more powerful.

Orochimaru asked with interest, "Is there anything different?"

"The real bosses don't roam freely in the Black Mist Wilderness; they all have their own territories."

Akainu sneered, "Furthermore, just like an emperor, you're surrounded by countless dark monsters. If you don't kill the boss, those dark monsters will keep reviving and fighting until they wear you down."

Orochimaru frowned slightly but remained silent.

This type of boss battle, although difficult, has appeared before, such as the original Underworld Wanderer Salina and the Vampire Baron, both of whom were emperor bosses with territories.

Judging from Akainu's tone, there was clearly still some information left to be revealed.

"The most unique thing about the Black Myth boss is that at the very center of its territory, instead of the boss itself, there's a portal!"

Akainu's expression turned serious. He didn't continue speaking, but instead took out a contract.

Team Contract (Second Tier).

If the terms of the contract are violated, a severe backlash will occur, which can destroy Orochimaru's soul and body, resulting in severe injuries and death, or even death.

Subsequent intelligence was obtained by the naval alliance at the cost of the lives of more than a dozen naval scouts.

Four of them returned after completing the Yellow Springs mission, while the rest are still trapped on the Yellow Springs Road performing missions, and two others have been confirmed dead.

The cost of training a scout is no less than that of a regular combat player, requiring just as many reward points.

Even more.

As far as we know, only if Orochimaru agrees to sign a team contract will Akainu be obligated to reveal the rest of the information.

"The Naval Alliance can rest assured that I will not go back on my promise!"

Orochimaru's smile remained unchanged as he pricked his finger and dripped blood onto the team contract.

A faint, almost imperceptible force of contractual power coiled around his body like a thread. Normally, it wouldn't cause any trouble, but if the terms of the contract were violated, the power of the contract would take effect.

The power of the contract comes from the rules of the cycle of reincarnation, or rather, the rules of the game merchant Fang Yi.

Even if Orochimaru breaks through to the third level, he still cannot break free and will have to withstand the backlash of the contract's power.

Unless, of course, a player can outmaneuver the game merchant.

is it possible?

Although the game's merchants have never restricted the players' growth in strength and have spared no effort to help them, it is precisely because of this that players are increasingly aware of the huge gap in strength between themselves and Fang Yi.

"Hmph, I still believe more in contracts."

Akainu cursed inwardly, "Does he really think the Navy Alliance's intelligence department is a pushover?"

A little investigation will reveal that Orochimaru has a terrible reputation. He first cooperated with Sunagakure but then assassinated them. He then sowed discord between Konoha and the Daimyo, framed Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then stole the country. Finally, he killed the Daimyo.

He's a perfect example of being two-faced and shameless.

If placed in the world of One Piece, he would definitely be the most despicable and shameless vicious pirate.

Since the other party is willing to sign the contract, there is no need for me to cause trouble by revealing their dirty secrets and ruining our relationship.

After all, the Navy Alliance and Orochimaru will soon be able to defeat the newly discovered Dark Gold boss.

Orochimaru asked, "Can you tell me now? I've been waiting for this for ages."

"After the naval scouts risked their lives to rush into the portal, they were transported to a special space."

Akainu frowned, thinking about the report from the resurrected Marine scouts.

The naval scouts were naturally incapable of breaking through to the center of the boss's territory.

Entering the portal relied entirely on stealth skills and agility; several naval scouts risked their lives to lure the dark monsters while the rest rushed in.

"Within this special space lies a fragment of a river of time and space."

"At first, the naval scouts thought they had been transported to an ancient world, but as time went by, the entire Guobei County would be corrupted by the power of darkness in about three days."

"The civilians who were originally harmless and non-aggressive have transformed overnight into the corrupted, female ghosts, and Buddhas and demons..."

"According to the investigation by several waves of naval scouts, the source of the corruption was found to be Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County, by a terrifying tree demon named Granny."

At this point, even Akainu showed some apprehension, saying, "Based on preliminary assessment, it's a [Second Tier] Dark Gold-level monster."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

Dark Gold-level monster?

The Abyss Evil God, who nearly destroyed the ninja world, was only a Dark Gold level being killed with the combined efforts of most players in the ninja world and the rescue efforts of the One Piece world.

This tree demon is actually a monster on the same level as the evil god.

No wonder the Naval Alliance sought cooperation with them.

They are willing to share some of the game items dropped by bosses with outsiders.

Even with Orochimaru and all the top players in the Navy Alliance, the chances of defeating a dark monster like the Tree Demon Granny are slim.

If the strategy fails.

Players who die will be trapped on the Road to the Underworld and unable to move for a period of time.

However, even after losing top-tier players, the Navy Alliance still possesses a large number of mid-level combatants, making it entirely possible to seize this opportunity to quickly take over the first floor of the Tower of Death.

A clever scheme, a clever tactic.

The Navy Alliance's think tank is quite capable. If the strategy is successful, players can collect the Tree Demon Granny's game items to enhance the combat power of top-tier players.

Even if the strategy fails, you can still gain something.

Killing two birds with one stone, you can't lose out no matter what.

However, Orochimaru didn't care about such things. The Fire Empire was already an impregnable fortress built by him. Even if he disappeared for a while, the Navy Alliance would have to pay a huge price to swallow it up.

At most, we'll lose some corner maps, which is well within our acceptable range.

Orochimaru said with a smile, "Let's go to the Tree Demon Granny's territory. I'm just a mercenary, so let's give the money for the Giant Totem to the Navy Alliance, shall we?"

"Wait, not everyone has arrived yet."

The news of the successful cooperation with Orochimaru was relayed back to the Navy Alliance. Some time later...

Three beams of teleportation light illuminated.

"Are we setting off now? I'd like to have a fight with Whitebeard first. He actually said my iron fist is no match for his broken sword..."

Garp scratched his head and burst into laughter.

His muscles were as solid as steel, with clear contours. He looked like a piece of refined steel that had been forged through countless trials. With each step he took, it felt like he could crush the ground.

He sized up Orochimaru and asked suspiciously, "You're Orochimaru, the strongest player in the Rinne Game. Just as Tsuru said, you don't seem very likable."

Necromancers, sorcerers, serpent masters...

These are all abilities that tend towards the dark attribute. Once a player comes into contact with one of them, the aura they emit will gradually lean towards the dark attribute.

Not to mention someone like Orochimaru, who possesses all of these qualities as a "Necromancer".
