Chapter 15: The Mountain Shakes
"What?" Xie Mao couldn't help but scream in surprise. Fengjian on the side was also shocked: "How is it possible?"
The end of their chakra lines disappeared the moment they touched the puppet.
There was a strange suction force that swallowed up their chakra lines, causing their chakra lines to be instantly disconnected.
Before he could remind Chiyo, Chiyo's chakra lines were also swallowed up, as if he had encountered a monster that could absorb chakra.
This... Chiyo frowned and retracted the chakra line, seeing the three humanoid puppets about to return to their original positions.
"Advisor Chiyo!" Ye Cang shouted anxiously from behind. According to the plan they had discussed earlier, if the puppet masters failed, they would use detonating talismans and other means to directly destroy the three humanoid puppets.
Compared to puppets, ninjas have too many methods. When they cannot fully recover the puppets, they have many ways to destroy them.
Chiyo's eyes flickered and hesitated in his heart.
From her most professional perspective, these three puppets that can cast spells and swallow chakra are worth a lot of money, far exceeding her and Feng Ying's expectations. In order to obtain their skills, it is worth the village going to war and spending a lot of money to obtain them.
But the question is, there is a high probability that there are living enemies behind these puppets. Will these people wait for Sunagakure Village to gather their strength?
What if he ran away with the precious puppet before that happened?
Before Chiyo could make a decision, the puppet on the opposite side changed.
I saw two giant shields that were originally put together suddenly separated, revealing two large puppets hidden behind. The two puppets are of the same shape, nearly two meters tall, holding a shield in one hand, and a huge gun barrel in the other.
, unbelievably thick.
Click, click, click!
Amidst the strong and rapid friction of gears, the cannon barrels connected to the two large puppets were spliced together. Three other humanoid puppets of normal human size came forward and put their hands on the cannon barrels. Strong chakra suddenly surged.
Come on.
Chiyo felt a strong throbbing in her heart, and she quickly shouted: "Get out of the way!"
At the same time, she controlled the defensive puppet among the ten Chikamatsu people to push forward.
Zhizhizhizhi~
The barrel rotated, and the eyes of the five puppets flashed with clear light. Then the barrel tilted back and plunged into the earth at an angle.
"Is the barrel mechanism loose?"
The ninjas who had retreated to the wall looked at this scene in astonishment. Before they could understand what was happening, they suddenly felt the entire earth trembling, the entire mountain shaking violently, and countless sand and dust pouring out.
"this!?"
"It's stuck!"
While the ninjas were still observing nervously, suddenly everyone swayed and their feet sank into the ground.
The spells launched by the puppets took effect very quickly. The moment the mountain shook, sand and dust erupted from the ground and grabbed their feet, pulling them downward.
"Look above!" Before everyone could get rid of their feet, another keen ninja shouted.
Xie Mao looked up and saw that there was a large amount of sand and dust flowing down from the top crack in the sky that was originally connected to the outside world, as if it was raining sand from the sky.
"Are you going to bury us alive?" the ninja who couldn't get rid of the restraints under his feet said in horror.
It can't be pulled out... Xie Mao looked at the flowing and sinking sand under his feet. Just when he was trying to pull out his legs, Fengjian beside him shouted in a low voice: "They are repairing the sand wall!"
Xie Mao quickly looked over and found that the gun barrel was spitting out sand continuously, quickly repairing the sand wall. When Xie Mao looked over, less than half of the sand wall had been restored.
If it weren't for Kazama's timely reminder, Xie Mao wouldn't even notice the change in the sand wall opposite.
"So fast..." Ye Cang said in shock. Originally, the time it took for the puppet to repair the sand wall was very short. It only took about half a minute, but now the speed is faster. It doesn't even take ten seconds.
That's too late!
Ye Cang gritted his teeth with a headache. Not only had they not completely solved the sand wall, but they were also likely to die here!
Just when she was thinking hard about what to do, she suddenly saw Xie Mao, who was closest to the puppet in front of her, take out several kunai from the ninja bag.
What's the meaning!?
Just now, my chakra lines did not disappear at the same time, but in sequence... Xie Mao held the kunai between his fingers and flicked it violently.
Swish, brush, brush!
The kunai deflected the sand flow accurately and powerfully and hit the barrel, but it didn't even leave any trace of damage on the hard barrel.
While Ye Cang was confused, Kazama, who was also very close to the puppet, took out the seal scroll and shouted: "Well done!"
Well done? What's good?
Ye Cang was not the only one who was confused, the other ninjas who noticed this scene were also puzzled.
In the next moment, Xie Mao's hand that had just thrown the kunai suddenly bent and tightened, and he suddenly pulled it back. The invisible chakra line stretched straight in the air, pulling the barrel of the gun that was inserted into the earth into the air.
The puppet that was supposed to be able to swallow chakra threads didn't have time to stop Xie Mao!
The sand flow spurting from the gun barrel stopped immediately, and the restoration of the sand wall also stopped immediately.
The puppets reacted in response, and the chakra lines attached to the barrel were immediately devoured and disconnected. The barrel was controlled to be retracted and re-inserted into the earth.
"Crack Crow!"
With an explosion of air, Kazama had already taken out a bird-shaped puppet from the scroll that was covered with detonating symbols. The puppet was only the size of a human head. The moment it was taken out, it exploded and flew towards the puppet to completely blow them up. .
Click, click, click!
The eyes of the large puppets holding the shields flashed with reflected light. They retracted the barrels first, and then the two giant metal shields like doors were about to close.
"Don't even think about it!"
Kazama flicked his fingers and opened the mechanism inside the [Crying Crow]. The bird-shaped puppet suddenly made a "bang" sound and accelerated again, too fast to be caught by the naked eye. At the critical moment, it was inserted before the giant shield closed, and was caught by the giant shield. Stuck hard.
"Wow-wow-wow-"
The unpleasant crow was like a countdown. At the moment when the crow ended, the [Crying Crow] suddenly expanded, and a large number of detonating symbols superimposed the explosion——
Boom boom boom!!!!!
Even the thick and large puppet lost half of its body in this horrific explosion. The hot metal liquid was flowing, barely outlining the shape of the incomplete barrel.
If the three humanoid puppets hadn't retreated quickly, they would have been destroyed without a doubt as they looked very fragile.
When a ninja becomes completely murderous in a dangerous situation and no longer values the puppets, but regards the puppets as mortal enemies that must be killed, the ninjas will use all their means, even a few puppets are not a problem!
After Kazama destroyed the cannon barrel, Chiyo, who had an even sharper eye and was extremely experienced, also took action:
"Seal, the lion closes its roar!"
The scrolls were flying, and the sound of air explosions was heard. A light yellow lion head more than one meter high flew quickly towards the humanoid puppet. Its scarlet eyes flashed, and the lion head opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, accurately He bit one of the humanoid puppets and nailed it to the ground.
Swish, swish, swish~
The rain of sand on the top of the mountain slowly stopped, the flow of sand under the feet no longer sank like a quagmire, and the puppet's technique was interrupted.
"It seems that each of the three humanoid puppets has a part of the spell, and sealing one of them can interrupt the spell." Chiyo said slowly while pulling out his legs.
Xie Mao was also struggling to pull out his legs. He noticed that the sand wall had collapsed and the remaining puppets were not afraid.
When Xie Mao pulled out one foot and was about to pull out the second one, his hand that had been wearing dark gloves was placed in front of him.
Xie Mao looked up and found that the person coming was the tall puppet master Kazama, who was completely shrouded in a black cloak. Looking up, he could barely see the outline of his face under the cloak.
Without further ado, Xie Mao reached out and grabbed it, using his strength to pull out the second foot.
"That's very quick [Operation of the Attack Blade]." Kazama praised hoarsely.
The attack blade is a unique skill of the puppet master. To put it simply, it is to connect the chakra thread to the kunai and launch it, which can adhere the thread to the target faster.
It is not difficult to operate the attack blade itself, but it is quite difficult to seize the opportunity and succeed in a very short time.
After all, in that kind of emergency situation, there would be no time to connect the chakra line, so the ordinary puppet master might give up, and Kazama never thought that he could still use the skill of [Strike Blade Control].
At this time, Chiyo came over and said with a pleased smile: "Well done, Scorpion."
"Yeah." Xie Mao nodded calmly, pretending to be an expert.
After discovering that the chakra threads were not swallowed at the same time, he planned to stick to his original plan and use the chakra threads to influence those puppets.
I admit that I am gambling.jpg
However, being able to use chakra threads in the way of [attack blade manipulation] was also thanks to Xie Mao's inspiration and luck.
After all, he had never tried [Manipulating the Attack Blade] before, and he only had memories related to "Scorpion". It was a bit of luck to be able to succeed in one go.
"Let's go recover those puppets." Chiyo said with some anticipation.
"I'm really curious as to why those puppets can swallow our chakra." Kazama also looked forward to it.
