Volume 1 - Seeds in Troubled Times Chapter 102 - Ruins
"That's it...Okay, then leave the treatment to me." Nonoyu seemed to be relieved, lowered his head and smiled softly, no longer being stubborn with his teammates.
"We're here." Zhigen suddenly stopped. The woods in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a plain and an arched underground house. It looked like it was just an ordinary home.
With a hemispherical entrance and an ordinary wooden door, there is no trace of chakra.
"Captain, has this place been abandoned..." Shanfeng released his perception barrier. Not only on the outside of the stronghold, but also inside the door, even deep underground, he could not feel the fluctuation of chakra.
Not to mention defensive barriers and the like.
"Let me take a look first." The insects flew out of the sleeves of the root, followed two routes, bypassed the door, and penetrated through the two gaps on the side. Once inside, follow the direction of the passage,
Act on both sides.
But all I saw along the way were bare walls with no decoration at all.
There is no trace of anger.
"Huh? It really doesn't look like someone."
"Wind, get close. Xiuhong, protect." Tiegen opened his eyes, retracted the perception attached to the insects, tilted his head to one side, and gave the order.
"Yes." The two agreed in unison, but Xiuhong didn't understand the purpose of taking the root. The perception of the wind in the mountain just now should be enough to cover an entire underground building. Such a small distance is of little use for perception.
But Shanfeng, as the person who knows the roots best, understood the moment he turned around.
He flew toward the wooden door, his senses had quietly unfolded, and the puppet was thrown aside.
"What's happening here?"
What appeared in my mind was a clear picture, and this should be the lowest level of the building.
It's not as planned, spooky, or scary as imagined.
All I can say is that there is only a trace of desolation revealed here...
The ruins of the walls were broken, people were lying in disorder, and the blood stains that had not receded were stained on the surrounding walls.
"Captain...inside..." Shanfeng was speechless for a moment, his face full of shock. Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel it.
"What's wrong?" What I saw through the insect was not very clear, so I didn't have the same feeling as the wind in the mountain now.
"This place...should really be abandoned."
"What?" Xiuhong became a little angry again, and punched the wooden door next to him, breaking a large section of the wall. All that came out was smoke and dust.
"Come in!" Gegen flew up on the spot, with the insects floating beside him, and took the lead in breaking into the hole that was blasted out.
If there is someone inside, they will no doubt be alerted by now, so a quick dash is the best way.
See one, kill one.
But the prerequisite is that there is someone.
The spiral staircase leads underground, and the walls are stained with blood mixed with dust. The wall tiles are in dilapidated condition, and there are not a few intact ones visible on the stairs.
"Go down! Hidehiro protect Nonoyu!" Shanfeng and Takegen's cooperation is perfect. The two of them are also suitable for small-scale combat, so Hidehiro and Nonoyu don't need to get in.
"Okay." Xiuhong stood still
He sat down and called to Nonoyu: "Nonoyu! Come here, come here, I can't protect you if you stand far away!"
"All right."
…
"Has this place been invaded... There are scenes like after a big war everywhere, and there are no survivors? I haven't seen any corpses yet, so the winner won't destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces..."
Takegen looked around, his feet constantly running towards the ground. After a long time, the spiral staircase was still the same, and the blood-stained ruins had not changed much either.
"Get the roots, there's something down there." Shanfeng who was following behind him suddenly sent a message through the air through his mental power. Get the roots and shook his legs, steadily stopping his momentum.
"What is it?"
"The appearance... looks like a corpse." Not long after, Shanfeng stood next to Togen, closed his eyes tightly, opened his sensory barrier, and scanned the underground hall.
Among the ruins that were seen before, there were several more corpses with strange looks and murderous looks. They were stuck between the lying pillars, and some even had bloodshot eyes open.
"Corpses... go down." If there are corpses, it can at least prove that humans once existed here. Then, maybe those corpses can even help deduce what happened here.
"Secret Technique·Insect Jade!" A large group of insects gathered together, and a solid black sphere was suspended in the air. Under the control of the root, it fell instantly and hit the stairs at the foot. The insects
After a collision, it naturally dispersed, and a large hole was smashed into the ground.
The two people jumped directly and fell vertically into the dark hall. Floating around them, in addition to the bugs that took out the roots, there was also sticky Yin chakra... along with the dust, it fell on the two people.
This is something I never felt in the mountain wind.
"ah……"
Shanfeng's perception barrier has not been withdrawn, and the mental stimulation he feels is even more obvious.
The biggest characteristic of Yin chakra is that it affects people's negative emotions, people's fear of the dark and curiosity of the unknown. At this moment, the balance is broken...
The two people's emotions couldn't help but be affected, and they became irritable and negative. If the "roots" didn't have a way to shield their feelings, the two people might have started fighting each other here.
"Wind, stop sensing." He leaned against the insect and swallowed the Yin attribute chakra that fell on his body bit by bit, allowing himself to slowly return to normal. He waved his palm on Shan Feng's back and let his thoughts go away.
Pulled back forcefully.
Neither of them had any experience facing this kind of polar chakra, so the only thing they could do was to avoid it.
The insects that had devoured the gray chakra were no longer under the control of the root, biting each other crazily. The venom splashed all over him, and there was a faint lavender poisonous gas coming out.
"Yeah...yes." Shanfeng endured the swelling pain in his head and suddenly stepped back. The sensory barrier shrank instantly, and the influence of the Yin attribute chakra was also cut off at this second.
The corpse lying on the ground was like a petri dish of Yin chakra, with streams of gray-black turbidity coming out of it.
"Leave the Yin-type chakra around you to me. Hurry up and take a look at the deeper scene." He released a large amount of the phosphorus bugs stored in his body, took a step forward, and blocked the bugs in front of Shanfeng Feng.
The flow took shape under the delicate control, and slowly built a wall, tightly wrapping the two people inside.
"That's it...yes, captain." Shan Feng Zai
When the sensory barrier was deployed for the first time, although it was initially blocked by the strong root chakra around it, what was seen afterwards was endless darkness... coupled with dots of helplessness and the eyes of the desperate dead.
"There's nothing left, there's no one here anymore." Shaking his head slightly, Shanfeng put away the barrier, supported Tie Gen's shoulders, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"Okay, retreat." Takegen did not remove the released bugs. He maintained the hemispherical wall to shield the increasingly intense Yin-type chakra. He followed Shanfengfeng and climbed up the broken stairs.
"Captain, we can't contact the two people on the ground." Shanfeng's perception barrier was forcibly pulled into an oval shape, and he tried his best to transmit spiritual power to the ground, but no matter what, he could not feel the presence of Shuhiro and Nonou.
Under such circumstances, the bug that had taken the root was exhausted from dealing with the Yin-type chakra, and the two of them alone could not open the way back to the ground. After all, several flights of stairs were smashed by them.
"It's been blocked." Tiegen didn't think much and made a conclusion.
"Shielding? Isn't this place abandoned? Why is there still something that blocks mental signals?"
"It's not here. It's Xiuhong's barrier." Xiuhong's barrier naturally refers to Xiuhong's control and defense skills, Earth Release and Earth Prison Hall. It can not only resist high-intensity physical attacks, but also shield perception.
The existence of this barrier cannot be detected from the outside.
"That's it...Okay, how do we get up there?"
"Cooperation." The gap between the disconnected stairs is indeed beyond the reach of one person's jumping ability, but two people might have a chance.
"Cooperation...that's it." The tacit understanding between Shanfeng and Qigen was that they could guess each other's thoughts without speaking out, but in desperation, Feng's head seemed to be stuck and went blank. And this "cooperation",
Specifically referring to a climbing method taught by ANBU. In this technique, Tiegen and Feng have always been at the top during training in the team. "It really depends on you, Tiegen, I just can't think of it."
Gegen turned around and smiled lightly, without saying anything. He stopped at the cliff in front, spread his hands in one place, folded them on his knees. He knelt on one knee, stretched one leg back, and turned the other one at a 90-degree angle.
, diagonally facing the upper edge of the stairs.
"Haha, here we come!" The nervousness when facing the Yin-type chakra disappeared. The bond between the two overshadowed the fear, and the excitement and excitement of facing the task returned instantly. Shanfeng laughed loudly and followed the approach.
, slowly increasing the intensity of the bounce. "Are you ready?"
"Come on!" Tie Gen also raised the corners of his mouth like never before, and his excitement could even be reflected in the insects approaching him.
Taking off for the last time! Feng’s front foot stepped firmly on Feng’s back foot, with his feet stacked on top of each other, perfectly transmitting the kinetic energy.
The moment he landed on Feng, he added a large amount of chakra to his hind legs. With a single explosion from the soles of his feet, Feng's whole body was launched upward one meter along with Feng's own elasticity.
Then, Feng's back foot was connected! The soles of his front feet were smashed into the prepared palms of Feng Gen. When taking the root, he raised his hands, and his body followed the force and stood up. After Feng took off, he grabbed Feng's ankle and followed the inertia.
Throw your body into the air.
The hands and feet of the two people joined together, and after completing a 720-degree rotation in mid-air, one of them was thrown out of the continuously rotating hemisphere.
Orange hair, that was the mountain wind. He reached the upper level with his legs in a half-squat. His hands fell down, clinging to the chakra, and he grabbed his wrist when he was about to fall.
