Masahiko's expression was not very good.
Although he had experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the past hundred years, this kind of place full of snakes still made his scalp tingle.
Inside the Ryuchi Cave, the terrain was very complex, there were caves everywhere, and there were entrances and exits everywhere. More importantly, every single one of these caves was filled with green and colorful snakes of all sizes. Masahiko had already activated his repulsive force at all times, keeping these snakes at least ten meters away from him. Only then did his expression improve a little.
Orochimaru was worthy of being their "kind," there was no change in his expression, but he looked around with interest.
"Go this way," Masahiko said to Orochimaru with a little perception.
Coming into the cave, Masahiko did not dare to use his perception to the maximum, not because he was worried that the Snake Sage would find them, but because there were too many snakes after his perception was magnified … it was very disgusting.
As for how to identify the direction, Masahiko just walked in the direction where the immortal technique Chakra was stronger.
As they went deeper, Masahiko's expression became a little better. Although the size of the snakes was constantly increasing, the relative number would decrease a little. For someone like Masahiko who had trypophobia … this would be much more comfortable.
Although the Ryuchi Cave looked small because it was pieced together by many caves, it was not small when it was really walking. Masahiko and Orochimaru moved at a fast pace, but after about an hour, Masahiko felt a relatively large Chakra fluctuation.
After a few more minutes, more than a dozen giant snakes appeared in front of the two.
Although they were called giant snakes, they were not particularly large, far smaller than Thousand Snakes, only about a dozen meters long, but Masahiko could feel that there was a lot of Chakra fluctuation in their bodies, so they should be the kind with intelligence.
These snakes also saw the two of them, and instantly surrounded them.
"Human?"
Obviously not very friendly.
Masahiko frowned, the feeling of being surrounded by more than a dozen snakes was not very good, and he was about to make a move, but Orochimaru stopped him.
"Blue snake, it's me." A hoarse voice came out, obviously seeing a "familiar snake."
"Orochimaru-Sama," a dark blue snake responded, as if it had just recognized him.
"Take me to Manda Snake." Orochimaru didn't directly state his purpose. Instead, he wanted to find Manda Snake first.
It was easy to get things done with 'familiar snakes'. The dozens of giant snakes surrounding them immediately dispersed, and the blue snake continued to lead them deeper into the cave.
"Rongchi Cave … Snakes really have a strict hierarchy?" Masahiko sighed with emotion. The deeper he went, the stronger the snakes became. It was a bit like playing a game …
"Are there three Ten Thousand Snakes?" As he moved forward, Masahiko's perception had already detected three relatively large Chakra reactions, all of which were probably similar to the one in front of him.
After making five or six turns, three giant snakes of different colors appeared in front of them. One of them was purple, which was Myriad Snake. There is also a green one and a red one.
The three snakes formed a triangle around each other. Masahiko's first reaction was: Let me play Landlord …
Of course, they weren't playing Landlord. Instead, they seemed to have been waiting for the two of them for a long time.
"Orochimaru, you really found this place." Manda Snake hissed. It was obvious that Orochimaru had already told her that he wanted to come to the Rongchi Cave to train.
"But!" Manda Snake stared at Masahiko with her snake eyes. "Why did you bring other humans with you!"
Masahiko looked at the rapidly approaching snake mouths. His vision went black, and he instantly activated Repulsion … with all his might.
Whether it was the three giant snakes or Orochimaru, they were all sent flying in an instant, crashing through countless caves.
Looking at the smoke and dust all around him, Masahiko's expression darkened.
He wasn't a person with a heart of glass, and he would retaliate with all his might when provoked by Manda Snake. He usually won people over with virtue … and submitted to snakes.
But just now, when Manda Snake opened her mouth to bite him, he felt like he was going to die … because of the smoke.
"I'm not here to cause trouble …" Masahiko sighed. Just now, he had used all his strength to attack Shinra Tensei, and he had even subconsciously activated Immortal Arts. Seeing that the narrow cave had suddenly become a square, Masahiko felt that things wouldn't end well this time. The three snakes must have been badly injured.
As for Orochimaru, he wasn't too worried. He had a lot of life-saving methods.
"Senpai, I'm here to learn Immortal Arts …" After a while, Orochimaru's voice came, but it was slightly trembling. It wasn't clear whether it was because he was injured, or because he was angry at Masahiko …
Masahiko looked in his direction and waved his hand. "I can't do anything about it. Remember to teach Manda Snake how to brush her teeth in the future."
Just as he said that, Manda Snake had already swam back. Together with the dozen or so larger snakes from before, they surrounded Masahiko and looked at him warily.
"Surprisingly resistant to beatings," Masahiko muttered. The other two obviously wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.
"Manda Snake, calm down." In this situation, Orochimaru could still calm down and comfort her, but it was obviously useless.
"Despicable human!" The huge snake's tail swung at Masahiko, but Masahiko condensed a lightning longsword and nailed it to the ground.
Manda Snake let out a painful roar and struggled. Masahiko didn't take the opportunity to attack again. After all, it was Orochimaru's spiritual beast.
He waved his hand at the dozen or so 'little snakes' who were still on guard against him. "You guys think of a way to pull out the sword. We're going to find your ancestor."
"Orochimaru, this way."
As if nothing had happened, Masahiko continued to move forward with Orochimaru.
Masahiko had long sensed Snake Sage's Chakra. It stood to reason that with such a big movement, it should have already rushed over, but it still didn't move. Masahiko was a little curious in his heart.
Moving forward with Orochimaru, about a few kilometers later, Masahiko finally saw the last of the three great immortals, Snake Sage!
On a huge stone chair, a giant snake with snow-white scales was sitting cross-legged, with exquisite carvings on the back and sides.
Snake Sage's snake eyes were unexpectedly gentle. "Orochimaru, this is the first time we meet. Are you here to learn immortal arts?"
The tone was also very gentle, making Orochimaru a little surprised and uncertain. He looked at Masahiko.
Masahiko smiled. "I'm asking you if you want to learn Sage Mode."
Orochimaru frowned and nodded slowly. He felt that the atmosphere wasn't right.
Masahiko was actually a little confused. He had clearly seriously injured a few snakes before, but Snake Sage didn't seem to notice it and didn't intend to pursue it.
"This is even better. It's best if we can resolve this peacefully. I keep feeling that something is wrong with this Snake Sage. Although there is a lot of Chakra, it feels quite weak …"
Just as Masahiko thought of this, he was suddenly shocked and subconsciously soared into the air.
Underground, a huge snake's mouth broke out of the ground and bit at Masahiko.
Looking at the huge throne again, the giant white snake collapsed as if it was venting.
"Snake Slough?" Masahiko sighed.
"Earth Release – Super Heavy Rock Fist Technique!"
