The two stared at each other for a long time, the air thick with tension and confrontation.
A complex emotion flashed in Hashirama Senju's eyes, as if he saw a familiar shadow in Nangong Yehua.
"Fine, since you have this ambition, I will give you a chance."
He spoke slowly, the authority in his voice gradually dissipating, replaced by a rare tranquility.
"But remember, a true strong person not only needs great strength, but also a heart to protect."
After saying that, Hashirama Senju's figure suddenly became blurry, as if merging into the surrounding air, and finally disappeared.
Only Nangong Yehua remained standing there.
Chapter 512 The Mysterious God of Ninjas
Nangong Yehua stood before the cave entrance, his brow furrowed, a look of confusion on his face. He recalled his brief but mysterious conversation with Hashirama Senju, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"This God of Ninjas, why is he so mysterious? He suddenly appears and then suddenly disappears, leaving behind some profound words. What is his intention?"
His gaze wandered through the dim valley, trying to find answers in his surroundings, but all he could find was silence, offering no clues whatsoever.
However, Nangong Yehua knew that she could not stop at this moment.
He took a deep breath, trying to put aside his doubts for the time being, and focused on the task at hand—finding and subduing the Four-Tails.
He smiled slightly, a confident and resolute smile, as if to say, "No matter how unknown the road ahead, I will forge ahead without hesitation."
So he took another step and ventured deeper into the cave.
As he ventured deeper, the light in the cave grew dimmer, and an ancient and oppressive atmosphere filled the air, making him involuntarily tense.
But Nangong Yehua seemed detached from the situation, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, constantly alert to any potential dangers around him.
After a long and winding journey, Nangong Yehua arrived at a narrow passage.
The passage was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and the stone walls on both sides were as smooth as a mirror, exuding a chill.
He stopped and carefully observed the area. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he cautiously squeezed in sideways.
The passage was pitch black, and Nangong Yehua could only rely on the torch in his hand to illuminate the way ahead.
He walked extremely slowly, each step firm and deliberate, as if afraid of accidentally triggering some kind of trap.
As he continued forward, the surrounding air seemed to become increasingly fresh, and an indescribable sense of tranquility gradually enveloped him.
Just as Nangong Yehua was about to give up guessing what was ahead, his eyes suddenly flashed.
Immediately afterwards, a breathtaking scene came into view—a peach blossom grove filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers!
Inside the peach grove, delicate pink petals danced in the breeze, like pink snowflakes falling from the sky.
A faint floral fragrance filled the air, a stark contrast to the previous oppressive atmosphere.
The birds sang merrily on the branches, their clear and melodious songs adding boundless vitality to the peach blossom grove.
Asking for flowers
Nangong Yehua was stunned. He never expected that such a paradise would be hidden deep in such a dark cave.
He slowed his pace, afraid that his recklessness might shatter this peaceful and beautiful scene.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let the fresh air and the fragrance of flowers fill his chest.
When he opened his eyes again, they shone with an unprecedented light.
He looked around, his heart filled with shock and emotion. He realized...
This peach grove is not just a beautiful sight, but also a symbol—a symbol of hope, life, and rebirth.
Here, he seemed to see his future path filled with infinite possibilities and hope.
Nangong Yehua continued walking forward, each step appearing more firm and powerful.
He knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead might be, as long as he maintained his faith and determination, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.
The appearance of this peach blossom grove gave him boundless courage and strength to face future challenges.
Chapter 513 Peach Blossom Forest Fairy Tao Xiaomei
Nangong Yehua walked slowly through the peach blossom forest, taking each step with utmost care, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility and beauty.
However, just as he was immersed in the scenery of this paradise, a subtle and different aura quietly invaded his perception range.
This scent was neither the freshness of nature nor the scent of any creature he was familiar with.
It carried an indescribable air of mystery and majesty, instantly putting Nangong Yehua on alert. "297"
He stopped, his eyes blazing as he quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find the source of the aura.
Just then, a gentle breeze swept through the peach grove, and the petals fluttered down like a pink rain curtain.
Amidst the rain, a beautiful figure slowly emerged from behind a peach tree, like a fairy stepping out of a painting, captivating all who beheld her.
"Hello, outsider."
The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain stream, refreshing and delightful.
She wore a light pink long dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, creating a charming contrast with the surrounding peach blossoms.
Her face was beautiful and refined, and her eyes and brows exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura that inspired awe in everyone.
Nangong Yehua snapped out of his daze, quickly cupped his hands in greeting, and said:
"Hello, I am Nangong Yehua. May I ask who you are?"
The woman smiled slightly and said:
"I am Tao Xiaomei, the earth immortal of this peach grove. Why have you come here? The domain of the Four-Tailed Fox is not one to be easily entered."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua's heart stirred, and he said:
"I came here looking for the Four-Tails. But I thought this was the Four-Tails' territory, didn't I?"
Tao Xiaomei gently shook her head and said:
“You’re wrong. This place was originally a secluded paradise of peach blossoms, where my people and I have lived for generations.”
"However, a few years ago, the Four-Tails suddenly broke into this place and occupied this land with its powerful strength, forcing us to retreat."
"Therefore, this place is not the territory of the Four-Tails, but rather it became its territory after the Four-Tails occupied it."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua frowned, a complex emotion welling up within him.
He never imagined that such a poignant history was hidden behind this seemingly peaceful and beautiful peach blossom grove.
He looked at Tao Xiaomei, his eyes filled with sympathy and admiration, and said:
"I see. You've really suffered. But now that I'm here, I won't give up easily. I must find the Four-Tails and remove its threat to this place."
Upon hearing this, Tao Xiaomei's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration, and she said:
"Your courage and determination are truly admirable. But the Four-Tails' power is immense, and you may not be able to handle it alone."
"However, if you need help, my people and I are willing to lend you a hand."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He looked at Tao Xiaomei gratefully and said:
"Thank you, Tao Xiaomei. Your help means a lot to me. Please tell me how I can find the Four-Tails and eliminate its threat to this place?"
Tao Xiaomei nodded and said:
"The Four-Tails should be resting in a cave deep in the peach grove right now. But it won't be easy for 3.4 to get close to it, because the cave is surrounded by its chakra sensing network."
"However, I can show you a relatively safe path and teach you some ways to avoid the chakra sensing network."
After saying that, Tao Xiaomei began to explain to Nangong Yehua in detail how to avoid the Four-Tails' chakra sensing network.
Chapter 514 Tao Xiaomei's Guidance
Nangong Yehua listened intently to Tao Xiaomei's explanation, not wanting to miss a single detail.
He knew all too well that, when facing the powerful Four-Tails, any slight oversight could be fatal.
"First, you need to remain absolutely calm and focused, because the Four-Tails' chakra sensing network is extremely sensitive, and any emotional fluctuation can be detected."
Tao Xiaomei's voice was gentle yet firm, as if giving Nangong Yehua an invisible strength.
"Secondly, use the natural environment of the peach grove for cover. Every tree and every petal here can become your shield."
"Remember to walk as quietly as possible and avoid stepping on dead branches and leaves, as the sound they make may give you away."
Nangong Yehua nodded, silently memorizing these key points. He knew that to successfully approach the Four-Tails, he had to be completely silent, like a gentle breeze in the forest.
"Also, I will teach you a simple invisibility technique. Although it cannot completely conceal your presence, it can reduce the chances of you being detected by the chakra sensing network to some extent."
As Tao Xiaomei spoke, she gently waved her hands, and the surrounding space seemed to distort slightly, with a mysterious energy fluctuation spreading through the air.
Nangong Yehua's eyes widened. He had never seen such magical magic before, and his heart was filled with shock and curiosity.
He quickly followed Tao Xiaomei's instructions, adjusting his breathing and concentrating his mind, trying to sense and guide that mysterious energy.
After much effort, Nangong Yehua was finally able to barely grasp the essentials of this invisibility technique.
Although the results were not perfect, he believed that it would be a great help to him in critical moments.
"Thank you, Tao Xiaomei. With your help, I believe I will be able to find the Four-Tails and eliminate its threat to the Peach Blossom Forest."
Nangong Yehua said with deep gratitude.
Tao Xiaomei smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with encouragement:
"I believe in you, Nangong Yehua. Your courage and determination will surely lead you to success. However, you must also be careful, the power of the Four-Tails is far greater than you imagine."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Nangong Yehua nodded firmly, and then, following Tao Xiaomei's guidance, embarked on the road leading deep into the peach grove.
Along the way, he carefully avoided any sounds or movements that might reveal him, while using his newly learned invisibility technique to minimize his presence as much as possible.
As he ventured deeper into the peach grove, the atmosphere around him grew increasingly oppressive.
He could feel the mystery and majesty emanating from the Four-Tails drawing ever closer, but he did not back down; instead, his resolve only strengthened.
Finally, deep in a dense forest, he saw a huge cave entrance.
That was the place where the Four-Tailed Beast rested for 297 days. Nangong Yehua took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and then resolutely took the final step.
As Nangong Yehua stepped into the shadows of the cave, his eyes were suddenly drawn to something bright, but it was not the four-tailed creature he had been expecting.
Deep within the cave, a gigantic spider sat atop a throne woven from spider silk. Its body was enormous and menacing, and its eight legs were as hard as steel.
It shimmered with a cold, eerie light. Even more strangely, this spider exuded an aura similar to that of the Four-Tailed Fox.
It was an ancient and powerful energy fluctuation that made Nangong Yehua's heart tremble.
Chapter 515 The Strange Giant Spider with Four-Tailed Aura
He was stunned; the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined. Why was the aura of a four-tailed creature emanating from such a strange spider?
Could it be that the four-tailed fox has mutated? Or is it being controlled by some kind of force? Nangong Yehua's mind was in complete chaos, his thoughts tangled together like a jumbled mess.
He clenched his fists, trying to calm the shock and confusion in his heart, his eyes fixed on the giant spider, attempting to find a clue in its eyes.
However, those empty, lifeless compound eyes simply stared at him coldly, as if looking at prey about to become a meal.
Nangong Yehua knew that now was not the time to think, as the threat of the giant spider was imminent.
He quickly adjusted his breathing, banished all distracting thoughts, and the power within him began to surge, an unprecedented force coursing through his body.
"Sage Mode activated!"
As Nangong Yehua gave his low shout, his body seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious power, surrounded by a faint aura of immortality.
His eyes became exceptionally bright, as if they could see the essence of all things in the world. At this moment, he was no longer just a martial artist, but had transformed into an immortal who resonated with nature.
The giant spider seemed to sense the sudden increase in Nangong Yehua's aura and let out a sharp hiss.
With a sudden stomp of its eight iron legs, the ground trembled, and it charged toward Nangong Yehua with destructive force, like an out-of-control chariot.
A strong sense of crisis permeated the air, but Nangong Yehua remained calm and moved swiftly.
It seemed to blend into the surrounding air, cleverly avoiding the spider's first wave of attacks.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Nangong Yehua formed hand seals, and instantly, a fierce whirlwind erupted from his palms, rushing straight towards the giant spider.
Wherever the whirlwind passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a series of ear-piercing whistling sounds.
However, the spider was exceptionally agile; it suddenly sidestepped and dodged the seemingly unavoidable attack.
