Do you know which direction 'Shaling' went?
Juan shook his head, but immediately said, "Brother Mahler has a piece of cloth that I left on him. We might be able to track him down using sand bees."
Sand bees are a unique species found only in Sunagakure. They can sense chakra and are often used for tracking.
Maki and his team happened to be carrying sand bees for this mission, so they immediately released them.
Juan immediately took out a small piece of cloth from her bosom. These special pieces of cloth all had traces of her chakra on them, making them unique.
Upon sensing the fluctuation, the sand wasps immediately flew to a certain location.
[Chapter 75 Cybert]
When people think of deserts, the first words that come to mind are desolate, scorching sun, and barren land.
Especially for those trapped in the desert, the torment of thirst and heat, and the despair brought by quicksand and sand scorpions.
The longer you live here, the more you realize how insignificant you are.
We revere the desert, and we fear the desert.
Thus, under the influence of humanity's overwhelming negative emotions, Cybertron was born, which is what Sunagakure calls 'Sand Spirits'.
Humanity's fear and awe of the desert gave birth to this special, top-tier cursed spirit!
Moreover, from the moment of its birth, Cybertron's intelligence far surpassed that of other ordinary cursed spirits, and it learned human language and ways of thinking in a very short time.
In this process, he witnessed many humans being brutally killed by cursed spirits, and he also witnessed many 'lower-class' beings being captured and exterminated by humans.
All cursed spirits are created because of humans, but in reality, humans do not need them.
Moreover, the cursed spirits born from the intense negative emotions of humans are inherently close to evil, instinctively creating slaughter and using humans as sustenance!
Having realized this, he understood that the ultimate fate of humans and cursed spirits would be one side dominating the other, achieving a distorted symbiotic relationship.
The only difference is which side is in a dominant position.
After all, cursed spirits can never be completely eradicated. As long as humans possess negative emotions such as despair, fear, and hatred, cursed spirits will continue to be born.
Similarly, what if humanity went extinct?
The cursed spirit naturally ceased to exist.
So after observing for a period of time, Cybert decided to gather a group of cursed spirits for his own use.
Then, based on this foundation, gradually strengthen the power of the cursed spirits.
At this stage, humanity as a whole undoubtedly holds an absolute advantage. Whether as individuals or as a group, those humans known as ninjas are writing a story of power.
He alone cannot change this situation.
Therefore, he needs helpers and companions.
He hopes that one day in the future, cursed spirits will replace humans and take the dominant position in the symbiotic relationship.
So he began to try to use force to rescue the cursed spirits that had been captured by humans.
He succeeded several times, but this also made him a target of powerful figures from the human faction.
In order to prevent the power he had painstakingly built from falling apart, he had no choice but to take these "burdens" with him and go into hiding.
But the yellow sand beneath his feet told him that humans had found him and caught up with him.
As for leaving the desert...
He had never thought about such a thing yet, because he was most comfortable and strongest in the desert!
“Camel Yoko, keep going forward from here. There is a village there with many low-level humans. Take them there and wait for me to come and join you.”
Cybert suddenly stopped and spoke to a woman covered in brown hair with humps on her back.
"Has a powerful human caught up with us? Lord Cybert, let me stay and fight alongside you!" Camel Yoko, the second smartest member of the team, immediately declared her loyalty.
The other spirits that still possessed some intelligence also declared their intention to stay and fight the humans.
Cybert said in a completely unfazed tone, "No need, you're too weak."
This is not sarcasm, but a statement of fact.
These cursed spirits had no way to refute this, after all, most of them were rescued from humans by Cybert.
"Leave that human prisoner behind before you leave. The fact that they caught up with us so quickly suggests there might be something wrong with him."
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Do as I command."
"...yes."
"Go, become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you help me."
We will definitely not let you down.
In the desert, Camel Yoko immediately led all the cursed spirits on their way.
Cybert himself stayed behind alone to cover the retreat.
As long as he was in the desert, he feared no one.
He didn't have to wait long before more than twenty Sand Village ninjas surrounded him from all directions, placing him in the very center.
"Shaling!"
"Brother Mahler!"
Juan immediately spotted Mahler lying on the ground with his eyes closed and couldn't help but shout out.
"So it was you. Why didn't you cherish your own life and instead came back to die?"
"Is it because of this man?"
"Or do you think these people are stronger than me and can kill me?"
Cybert first glanced down at Mahler, then scanned Maki and the others.
Finally, he focused his attention on the woman who had escaped from his grasp earlier, or rather, the woman he had never taken seriously.
At this moment, Maki and the others were all shocked!
Although they all knew that these suddenly appearing creatures actually possessed a certain level of intelligence, this was the first time they had encountered a target whose speech was so clear and articulate.
This undoubtedly suggests that the other side is likely a race with potential no less than that of humans.
This is very scary!
Maki's heart sank. Instead of making a move, he wanted to probe first to see the extent of the other party's intelligence and whether they knew any information they wanted to know.
"What are you? Or rather, what exactly are you all? Why did you suddenly appear on such a large scale without any warning?"
Cybert seemed to want to buy time for the other cursed spirits, so he did not refuse to answer Maki's question.
"Although you call me Shaling, which sounds alright, my real name is Cybert."
"As for what I am? What are we?...
"I prefer the name 'Cursed Spirit'."
"All things have a spirit, and we are the spirit of the curse."
Cyber!
Cursed Spirit!
Cursed Spirit!
Although Maki had even more questions in his mind, the information he had obtained was invaluable.
Furthermore, the Cybert before them should be the first cursed spirit they could communicate with normally, at least the first one they had ever encountered.
Perhaps... these cursed spirits are also divided into many levels.
Therefore, some can communicate, while others are like wild beasts, only knowing how to attack humans.
"Sha... Cybert, give us the people. Perhaps we can reach a ceasefire, provided that you can control your people and come back with us to meet Lord Kazekage."
Maki was just fooling around. He knew very well that Lord Kazekage would not give up this great opportunity and would definitely continue to capture and study the so-called cursed spirits.
He was just worried that he and his group wouldn't be able to keep the other side.
However, Cybert, who already had a good understanding of human behavior patterns, was not fooled.
"Kazekage... The person who holds the title of 'Kage' must be the strongest among you humans. Although I would love to fight him, the time is not right yet, and I will not risk my life."
Machi's heart sank; such wisdom was in no way inferior to that of humans.
[Chapter 76: Lucky Day]
Just as Cybert had stopped all the pursuing Sand Village members, hundreds of cursed spirits were moving rapidly under the leadership of Camel Yoko.
"Faster, faster!"
"Don't let Lord Cybert's good intentions go to waste."
But as they ran, a message suddenly came from the cursed spirits, saying that they had spotted two humans ahead.
Should we avoid them or kill them?
Camel Yoko made her decision after only a moment's thought.
"There's no reason to spit out food that's been offered to you!"
If so many of their cursed spirits would avoid even two mere humans, they might as well commit mass suicide rather than embarrass Lord Cybert.
A group of strangely-looking cursed spirits immediately became excited.
Having a dessert before a main meal is a good way to whet your appetite.
Closer, closer and closer...
The two humans seemed to be frozen in fear, standing motionless.
Huff, huff~
This dessert is mine!
