Uchiha's Counterattack

Xia Nan was selected as expected, and with him was the fanatical old man.

The two of them, along with a dozen other people who were selected, were escorted to Longquan Temple by the root ninjas. However, everyone did not actually enter Longquan Temple, but were transferred to a small temple next to it halfway.

The dilapidated temple looked as if it was about to collapse.

Xia Nan frowned. With the help of the cold moonlight, he could feel that there was something uncomfortable in this temple. Faintly, the Jin Yan hidden in the body felt like it wanted to break through the restraints. And when Xia Nan

This feeling became even stronger when Nan's feet crossed the threshold of the temple and prepared to go underground.

There is no doubt that there should be some taboo set outside the door we just passed. Is it a sealing technique or a wider range of enchantment techniques? It is meaningless to care about these at this time, because Xia Nan has already followed the team underground.

space.

It was dark and cold, and there were only cold stones in the dark space.

There is no light here, only the low roars like wild animals echoing in the corridors.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a hint of discomfort. Xia Nan had experienced this smell once before, in the underground charnel house at the root. She subconsciously glanced around, and the dark space was very strange to Xia Nan.

It is said that the impact is not big, but his eyes can see through the slaughterhouse hidden in the darkness...

The further forward you see, the more dead bones and rotting corpses you see, and the smell of blood becomes stronger.

These corpses and bones were not treated carefully, but were treated as one-time consumables, and were thrown outside directly after use. They were not buried and processed because something in this underground space needed the nourishment of blood, and

The inexplicable despair and helplessness of human beings before death, grasping the wall with bare hands, even digging their fingernails to bleed, trying desperately to escape.

"..."

At this moment, there was a faint light coming from the front. Just when everyone was silent in the oppressive atmosphere here, the moment they saw the light, everyone except Xia Nan and the Gen Nin responsible for the escort relaxed.

They looked relaxed and seemed to think that this long and depressing road was finally over.

The old man next to Xia Nan showed an expression of inexplicable excitement.

The old man regarded the depression he had just experienced as some kind of test. It was a test imposed by the gods on mortals. Only those who passed could obtain true liberation.

When everyone came to a circular underground space, the candles burning around them gave off a small amount of light, illuminating the oppressive and dark underground space.

There is a statue at the end of this circular space. The statue looks ugly and weird, like a twisted insect with its mouth wide open. The bloody mouth seems to have swallowed the flesh and blood of countless people. The blood stains have turned into a thick black color. Two

The specially carved eyeballs are full of evil intent, making people shudder at the first glance.

There were four men in black robes standing around the statue, who looked like those responsible for worshiping.

Gennin walked over and started talking to those people.

"This is the last group of people tonight. Lord Danzo ordered that no one be spared alive this time." Gennin said in a calm tone. Normally, in order to cover up their sins, they would more or less spare a few people.

I will go back and stop other people's mouths, and I will also strengthen ordinary people by strengthening ninjas for better publicity.

But now there is only the last group of people left to resurrect "that" expression. Once Zero-Tail is successfully resurrected, this base will be of little use. Everything must be eliminated before New Konoha notices that something is wrong, so

This also determines that no matter who is in this underground base tonight, it is impossible to be released alive.

※※※

Xia Nan is very sensitive to the smell of death. Probably because he has lived in a high-pressure environment for a long time, his sixth sense has been sharpened.

He stared closely at the two people talking, already vaguely aware of what was going to happen next.

"Young man, quickly kneel down and worship the statue of the god like us."

At this time, the people around him had already knelt in a circle. Under the malicious guidance of others, they regarded the statue of the strange beast as a god. They knelt down devoutly as if they were really facing a god, whispering to themselves.

Treat them as slaves of the other party, begging for mercy and gifts from the so-called "gods".

Xia Nan narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed that there seemed to be some faint changes in the group of people kneeling down. As they kept whispering and lowering their postures, they seemed to have established some kind of connection with the statue, something like

It's the same thing as a contract.

However, the smell of this contract is even more evil, and there is also a stomach-churning stench.

Xia Nan unconsciously took a few steps back and waved her hands to try to disperse the spreading stench. At this time, it was too late to stop the continuation of the ceremony. Once the contractual relationship was established, even Xia Nan would not be able to stop it.

What's more, these people knelt so fast that Xia Nan had already knelt in a circle before she had time to react.

Xia Nan has no pity or compassion for those who give up on themselves.

Has he become cold-blooded? No, Xia Nan has his own set of moral principles, but he has no good impression of the ignorant people who are blindly superstitious and worship the devil as a savior. Even if the other person is deluded, people always need to do something for them.

Pay the price for your actions.

So the moment Xia Nan stood in the silent underground, she was already disappointed and gave up.

I will definitely have to witness the death of the Fool here again.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for these people's bodies to become strange. They roared like wild beasts. Their scarlet eyes looked at the companions next to them with murderous intent and they struggled with each other. They bit each other like wild beasts.

They were fighting like one, biting the opponent's neck with their canine teeth, and tearing the opponent's body with their nails. The whole process looked extremely primitive and brutal.

But this is only a staged symptom of madness. The brains of this group of people have been invaded by Zero Tail, causing them to lose their humanity. However, after the adaptation period has passed, they will regain their own cognition - and then, there is the real terror and despair.

the beginning of.

Their deaths will become Zero-Tail's flesh and blood, and their mental fear and despair will become Zero-Tail's food. They are like plates of beautifully packaged dishes, coaxed into this underground space by Gen Ninja people, and then use them

The cult of ignorance establishes a connection with Zero Tail.

And then - it was swallowed up.

The people who reacted screamed miserably. The hallucinations in their minds made them realize the deterioration of the matter. Through the hallucinations, they also saw that the people who came here before were all tortured to death in this way.

As for those who went back... they were selected survivors who were taken to other places and given pills. They seemed to be cured, but in fact they were just bait used by these people to stop others. And the more people

Knowing their miracles, more people will come here and be selected, and then sent here to serve as food for this monster.

"Quick, run away!"

The remaining people yelled with their remaining sanity, and they rolled and ran outside. They fell down in the bloody water and got up, stepping on the bones under their feet, and ran towards the exit.

Can they escape? The answer is no, no matter what the outcome is, they will die here tonight.

Soon, screams were heard outside, and they tortured the malicious people in the illusion to death, because only in this way can Zero-Tail absorb the purest fear of human beings.
