Konoha's task master

Ice and snow.

There were only a few meters of footprints behind them, and the farther locations were covered with snowflakes again. The heavy snow mixed with the strong wind made each step more difficult.

Yakumo and his men have been walking for several hours, and all they can see during these few hours is the endless snowfield.

From beginning to end, they did not encounter any enemies, as if the purpose of this dungeon was to freeze people to death.

In this environment, physical strength is exhausted very quickly, and because the clothes are relatively thin, several people's faces are too pale, and their hair has turned completely white due to being contaminated by snowflakes, and many parts of their bodies are covered with white.

A thick layer of snow crust.

"There's something wrong with this space."

Yakumo suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward.

It shouldn't be like this... During the three hours and hundreds of kilometers journey, they didn't encounter any animals or plants, nor did they encounter mountain peaks or basins. It was always flat snow.

How can nature be so flat, as if someone built it deliberately.

"Uh-huh."

Yakumo stabbed the demon into the snow and continued to walk forward with a few people. He already had some guesses about the world, but he still needed actual actions to prove this guess.

Everyone was speechless and continued to set off.

An hour later, Yakumo waved his hand.

The demon flew from the snow into Yakumo's hands, and this was exactly where they left an hour ago.

"How is that possible?" Masako Mori whispered.

An hour for everyone was equivalent to walking in a circle. They started here and returned here again. It was equivalent to standing still. They lost their judgment on the direction.

"We're going in a circle." Yakumo said.

"What should we do?"

Masako Mori felt a little depressed, and this predicament was like torture to her.

"Sage mode, on."

Yakumo thought for a moment, and a mark of immortality appeared on his forehead. He immediately began to observe the falling snowflakes around him... and the strong wind blowing around him.

He could indeed feel that there was something unusual in the surrounding space, but he could not accurately determine the real cause.

He was not even sure whether this was a space cycle, or whether it was because of a sense of disorientation that led several people to follow this trend... and walk out of a circle.

The world’s problem or our problem?

"What should I do?" Qianxue Qianxue asked.

"We formed a row and tried to get out with our eyes closed."

Yakumo thought for a while and came up with a solution.

The physical strength of these people in the low-temperature environment is always draining away. If they continue, they may be frozen into ice before they encounter the enemy.

Of course, with the strength of a few people, they can probably hold on for three days.

"good."

Qianxue Qianxue and Masako Mori nodded in response.

"Why don't you let me be in front? Follow the movement of the airflow and you may be able to find the real end point."

Aoyama Reiko thought for a while and put forward her own opinion. Through the Ring of the Sky Emperor worn on her finger, she could vaguely feel the problems in this space, but the strong wind would guide her in the direction.

"good."

After making a plan, they immediately exchanged positions and grabbed each other's clothes.

When you close your eyes, the world becomes dark, and several people move forward steadily, following Reiko Aoyama's footsteps.

The strong wind carrying icy debris suddenly hit their faces, causing a stinging pain. As several people approached the finish line, the conditions they faced became even worse.

The broken ice mixed in the strong wind was deadly, like thousands of blades blowing everything, dangerous and deadly, as if preventing them from moving forward.

Aoyama Reiko couldn't bear it anymore and waved her right hand.

The blue wind blades formed an invisible barrier around several people. A harsh scream came from the intersection of the two airflows, and the broken ice was directly polished into thin ice dust.

"We should be close to the end."

Masako Mori held Reiko Aoyama's waist and sighed softly. Compared to the endless silence, the sound of broken ice being polished was the most beautiful movement in the world.

"Then speed up."

Yakumo spoke softly, and several people connected with each other by their arms. They cooperated very well and ran like crazy in the snow until the snow under their feet was no longer flat, until they climbed up the ice ridge, until they came to a completely new world.

Phew...my body no longer feels the cold wind, but a warm current.

"It seems like you can open your eyes now?"

Yakumo opened his eyes as he spoke, and suddenly the warmth disappeared.

There is still a piece of snow all around, like a mountain crest, and in the plain at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there is a vast ice surface with countless blue giant snakes on it.

"It shouldn't be."

Reiko Aoyama questioned that snakes of this size can only exist in warm environments. In this cold weather, it is impossible for snakes to grow to this size.

"Let's close our eyes and give it a try."

When everyone closed their eyes, Yakumo once again felt the warm sunshine, the rich and long fragrance of flowers in the air, and even heard the cheerful chirping of birds in his ears.

Open your eyes again, and the temperature will naturally pass away.

"Is there something wrong with our vision, or our senses?"

Masako Mori asked with some confusion.

"I'm more inclined to think there's something wrong with the world."

Reiko Aoyama crossed her arms, shivering slightly.

"It will become clear after we kill those giant snakes."

Masako Mori is already familiar with the routines of the dungeon world. Only by clearing the mobs in front of her can she continue to advance in the dungeon.

"Let's try it first."

Yakumo quickly slid downwards along the sloping ice surface, holding weapons in both hands to subdue the demon. Several people also imitated his movements and slid down the ice toward the foot of the mountain.

The giant cyan snake spit out scarlet venom, approached several people in an S-shaped snake motion, and opened its mouth to spit out bursts of dark purple poisonous gas.

Aoyama Reiko waved her hand, and the surrounding airflow suddenly changed direction. The strong wind blew away the poisonous mist, and Yakumo was already in contact with the giant snake.

The red-gold twins ignited, and the scales scraped against the ice, making a harsh friction sound. For Yakumo, this was undoubtedly a torture.

The giant green snake straightened the front half of its body, and in the next second its muscles exploded, biting Yakumo's waist at an extremely fast speed, like a surprise attack of artillery shells, but their eruption speed was still not as fast as Yakumo's.

After easily dodging sideways, Yakumo swung his weapon and pierced the giant snake's huge body from the side, then suddenly pulled the weapon in his hand.

The smelly blood flowed onto the ice and corroded into bursts of white smoke. The blood of these snakes carried some terrifying corrosive properties, and the color was more like melted asphalt.

"Save some energy." Yakumo reminded.

The largest one in the group of snakes straightened its body. Its body probably got wider as it went upwards. It was about three meters wide above its abdomen, and nine ferocious heads were connected to it.

"Hydra."

This seems to be a mythical creature from some mythology, possessing extremely terrifying power and power, but Yakumo can't remember what myth it is, just like he doesn't think how amazing this giant beast that is nearly a thousand meters in front of him is.

.

After all...the overlord of the Neptune species has a body length of over 10,000 meters.

Yakumo found the target and began to slide on the ice. At the same time, he extended the length of the demon to about three meters. This kind of weapon is a powerful weapon for killing these giant snakes.

A simple swing can cause a wound close to three meters in length. Even if there is no immediate death, the continuous loss of blood will lead to death.

In the sky, strong winds brought snowflakes down, and the coldness invaded.

As a battle broke out between a few people and the snakes, the surrounding temperature became even lower. If it were an ordinary person, his blood would be frozen almost instantly.

The snakes continued to attack, but were quickly killed by Yakumo and others.

The air is filled with a fishy smell, which makes people feel a little nauseous.

Yakumo waved the giant sword with both hands without any hesitation. He kept approaching the huge nine-headed snake, and the snake stood in the center of the snake group as if it were the king waiting for the enemy to attack.

Suddenly, huge ice edges began to rise from the ice surface. The longest one was nearly three meters long. They were like sharp blades, growing from the ice surface and approaching several people, but they did not hurt the giant snakes.

"Get closer first."

In order to avoid accidental injury, the four people regrouped.

Reiko Aoyama slapped the ice surface with both hands. The terrifying air flow pushed forward in all directions like a barrier. The ice edges along the way exploded into debris all over the sky under the strong pressure.

The giant snakes were also pushed by this invisible barrier, and some were crushed directly, rendering the invisible barrier into a bloody wind. The remaining snakes collided together, like large spheres piled up by the giant snakes.

Stacked in the corners of the valley, the continuously twisting snake bodies are like countless green worms.

The only exception was the nine-headed giant snake. It withstood the impact of the barrier and did not move, but blood spilled between its scales.

"Underworld Slash!"

Worried Bone Qianxue took a step forward and brandished a knife with both hands. The dark purple death aura suddenly spread, sweeping up all the giant snakes along the way. The moment it came into contact, the flesh and blood gradually withered and withered, turning into pale bones.

"Crackling, crackling."

Countless walls made of ice grew and spread from the ice surface, and at the same time they were destroyed by the erosion of the death air. Countless ice fragments flew around like a storm made of ice.

With a bang, the ice beneath everyone's feet shattered.

As if according to the design of the script, the giant snake quickly fell into the sea from the cracks in the ice, splashing water several meters high, and disappeared from the eyes of several people in a few breaths.

"What should I do?" Reiko Aoyama asked.

"Follow me."

Yakumo took a deep breath and jumped directly into the sea.

The snakes did not stay away, but were waiting for the arrival of the enemy in the sea water. The moment Yakumo fell into the water, several giant snakes had already tightened their bodies and opened their mouths to bite Yakumo like arrows.

.

The sound of the mechanism's operation sounded, and the short-blade Jieyu was ejected from the sword case.

Yakumo held two weapons, crossed them in front of him, and thought to himself.

"Wall dance."

The weapon was waved, and the sword stirred up the sea water, forming a barrier.

After losing chakra and a lot of energy, Yakumo's fighting style inevitably became primitive, leaving only fighting with blades to determine the outcome.

There is no space movement, no soul realm, only melee combat!

Several giant snakes biting at Yakumo were instantly shattered by the sword. With his natural mastery of water energy, he controlled the surrounding seawater to form his own driving force, and he approached the nine-headed giant snake like a cannonball.

The remaining people also fell into the water one after another. The surrounding seawater restricted the fighting methods of Masako Mori and Reiko Aoyama. Only Qianxue, the worry-free person, was not greatly affected. She continued to fight the giant snake while wielding the Sorrow of the Nile River.

Gradually, Mori Masako and Aoyama Reiko also found a way to fight. They hit the giant snake's scales with their fists, and then followed the gaps in the scales to fill the giant snake's body with airflow and fire.

Bypassing defenses, directly destroying internal organs and brain.

Countless killed giant snakes fell to the bottom of the sea. Yakumo was currently fighting with the nine-headed giant snake. Although this giant beast looked terrifying, its scales could not block the blade of the demon, and its fangs could not pierce Yakumo.

of vital importance.

He could only passively be stabbed continuously, and the smelly blood would flow out. He would lock his body as tightly as possible to defend himself, as if waiting for the chance of a surprise attack.

"A powerful physique, a body like an overlord, but unfortunately... he doesn't have the power to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in an instant, so he can only be beaten passively."

Yakumo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He approached the nine-headed giant snake and cut off one of its heads with a demon. The smelly blood immediately poured out.

He almost subconsciously avoided it.

Suddenly, a deep purple electric current spread in the sea water, and a powerful voltage suddenly entered Yakumo's body with the intention of causing wanton destruction. A bit of viciousness flashed in Hydra's red-gold eyes.

The remaining head immediately bit Yakumo, as if to tear him into pieces.

After Yakumo was hit, his body was not paralyzed. Instead, part of the energy consumed was replenished, and the violent electric current was directly eliminated by the cells.

Although the lightning energy is sealed, it still exists deep in Yakumo's cells. It is the purest lightning attribute, so how can it be harmed by arcs of this magnitude.

Hydra made a wrong calculation.

The golden light in his eyes flashed away, Yakumo's body accelerated, and hit the somewhat bloated belly of the nine-headed giant snake. The three-meter-long Fumo suddenly swung out, slashing out a cross-shaped sword.

Huge wounds appeared on the surface of the Hydra's body, almost cutting off its entire body. This injury was fatal enough, and even to the day it died, it could not figure out why its enemy was not affected by the arc.

The next second, countless finger-thick, nearly one-meter-long baby snakes emerged from the bloated abdomen. As soon as they left the mother's body, they showed their bloodthirsty nature and moved quickly towards Yakumo. The sea seemed to echo with countless piercing screams.

.

"I knew it."

Yakumo had long felt the abnormality in the Hydra's belly. Although he looked down on this beast with no skills at all, he did not dare to relax his attention.

During many close combats, he heard the extremely dense heartbeat in the belly of Hydra, like a messy, irregular drum beat.

"It's a pity... no matter how many ants there are, they can't kill the birds."

"Because they belong in the free sky."

"Wall dance."

In Yakumo's hand, two blades of different sizes were swung rapidly, forming countless golden blades, which rotated at high speed around Yakumo.

Yakumo released all the thunder and lightning energy absorbed by the Hydra. The light of the sword disturbed the sea water and formed a storm that cut everything. There was a faint flash of golden lightning. When the young snakes sensed the danger, it was already too late to escape.

The storm attracted, shrouded and cut it.

Until the screams and blood dye the sea water red.
