Chapter 761
Chapter 761: Chapter 688: Coming True Chapter 761: Chapter 688: Coming True “No wonder the Cockroach People are keeping such a low profile, turns out the Dance God is here leveling up by slaying monsters…”
Tao Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of enlightenment.
The sheer number of Cockroach People had given him quite the scare.
Because just in this random spot there were hundreds of thousands, which meant that theoretically, there could be at least a hundred million of them on this desolate planet!
Just looking at the individual Cockroach People, their stats already reached the level of an Intermediate Partner.
Tao Yu could also observe that among those he had seen earlier, a minority with ropes on their arms, their strength could go up another notch.
On their own, they weren’t much, but when their numbers reach the hundreds of millions, it’s really quite speechless.
Add to that the interconnected tunnels here, even if catastrophe-level creatures came in swarms to clean them out, or even if a saint came personally, it would probably be pointless, as they simply couldn’t be wiped out completely.
It was fortunate that probably Madara Uchiha had launched numerous surprise attacks on these Cockroach People.
With Impure World Reincarnation, Madara Uchiha’s defensive capabilities were extremely high too, and he wouldn’t fear ambushes and sieges.
After tasting defeat, this group of Cockroach People had become extremely wary.
This time, while they set a trap for the Pioneers, wasn’t it also Madara Uchiha baiting them…
Looking at Madara Uchiha, who seemed to have come running at the scent, this guy must’ve seldom encountered such situations.
Judging by his previous performance, he definitely ranked among the strong even within catastrophe-level beings, much more powerful than the Hashirama Senju he had summoned previously.
But considering that Hashirama’s power was almost on par with his, even if Hashirama wasn’t as focused on leveling up by monster hunting as Madara, his strength probably wasn’t inferior either.
If Hashirama couldn’t keep up, given Madara’s nature, he might just tie Hashirama up and take him leveling…
And those Cockroach People hiding in the caves were obviously easier to capture with Wood Release, because an attack like Earth Exploding Star had a strong lethal effect on surface Cockroach People, but once they hid underground, the lethality would be considerably limited.
If Wood Release could drill into the cracks, the conditions for a mass hunt wouldn’t be so stringent.
“But since Madara Uchiha already has the Rinnegan, he probably has Wood Release too, doesn’t he?
Does he dislike using it, or is it too much trouble…”
Tao Yu pondered in his heart, but he didn’t jump out right then to say he knew Hashirama or such.
His main purpose in following the team here was to use the relationship with the bystanders to mix into the Land of Fire, as he was wary of the hidden Sage of Six Paths.
After all, his target was the Nine-Tails.
Although he didn’t know who the Jinchuriki was for the time being, even if he could ensure the Jinchuriki’s life was safe, it was unlikely the Sage of Six Paths would allow the Nine-Tails to be taken.
Especially considering he already had so many Tailed Beasts on him.
It was only because they were concealed as energy in the Innate Barrier that things weren’t more troublesome…
“If it weren’t for the Sage of Six Paths, actually, the Cockroach People would be very suitable for absorbing the Witch of Calamity and the Weather Mage.
After dealing with the Nine-Tails, it would be fun to let loose here…”
Tao Yu’s thoughts flashed through his mind, and while there was a lot to consider, it hadn’t taken much time.
At this moment, Ye Rong and the others were still in shock from the annihilation of the Cockroach People.
If they hadn’t dug into the earth to survive that meteoric fall, they would’ve probably been done for!
Those two guys who managed to escape into the sky were blown away, and who knew where they went, or whether they were dead or alive.
Looking at the devastated scene nearby and seeing the arrogant powerhouse, they all felt a sense of shock.
A catastrophe-level strong being!
And one such significant catastrophe-level figure was right in front of them!@@novelbin@@
Even though Ye Rong and their families weren’t poorly off, they had no such figure in their clan, and they had never spoken to one from such a close distance.
Hearing Madara Uchiha’s words now, they seemed very nervous, even a little incoherent.
It was only Tao Yu who was stable enough to take the lead and said,
“I presume you must be the famous Madara Uchiha, sir.
Your illustrious name is well-known among us Pioneers, and before, it was all just hearsay.
Now that I have witnessed the might of sir firsthand, I realize the rumors did not do you justice.”
Tao Yu himself had the enhancement of an “Aura of Fear” for emotions and, combined with the gentle application of his inducements, as well as Madara Uchiha’s character.
This kind of flattery, which Madara didn’t ordinarily care for, felt surprisingly pleasant to him.
This caused his originally haughty expression to relax a bit as he laughed heartily,
“Is that so?
My reputation has spread among the Pioneers?
It seems that although you’re not very strong, you do have some taste.”
Prompted by Tao Yu, the others also recovered their wits one after another.
Ye Feng quickly spoke up,
“Yes, yes, yes, your esteemed reputation…”
“Did I give you permission to speak?”
Madara Uchiha glanced at Ye Feng with a faint look, his Rinnegan with the shattered feeling swept over, and immediately Ye Feng was so nervous he couldn’t speak.
His speech was not as pleasant as Tao Yu’s, and Madara Uchiha wasn’t one to accept any amount of flattery.
Afterwards, Madara Uchiha even cast a faint glance in the direction of the Shadow Soldiers, and once Tao Yu directly dismissed the Shadow Soldiers, completely turning them into shadows, he scoffed,
“Pioneers, not all of them are pus-filled, just a bit too timid.”
Having said this perplexing remark, he then looked back at them, or rather at Tao Yu,
“Are you representing the Pioneers, or are you here on your own?”
“We just want to come and complete some trade, to see what the Land of Fire lacks and to exchange information.”
Faced with such a powerful being, Ye Rong didn’t dare to boast, and spoke honestly.
To this, Madara Uchiha neither agreed nor disagreed, simply nodding his head nonchalantly,
“Let’s settle on that, then.
What we’re lacking now is a way to kill insects, there are too many of them, far beyond imagination.”
When Madara Uchiha said this, even Tao Yu was somewhat astonished.
This guy was supposed to be fearless, supposedly happy about so many cockroaches to level up, but he was actually troubled by these pesky creatures?
“No matter how weak, when their numbers reach a certain level, they become a nuisance, and these bugs are too good at hiding.”
Then as if recalling something, he promptly pulled out a Sealing Scroll, casually made a Hand Seal, and tossed it aside.
With a ‘bang~’ followed by a puff of white smoke, the corpse of an octopus-like ugly insect appeared in front of everyone.
He then asked,
“By the way, you Pioneers have traveled to many places, do you have any information on these creatures?”
Looking at the familiar Facehugger, Tao Yu felt darkness before his eyes.
Damn, he had only casually thought about it before, but they really exist?!
Were they from this World Fragment, or did someone with ill intentions bring them over from the New Development Zone in Starshine City?
There are many Alien movies, and there should be plenty of World Fragments, Tao Yu wasn’t sure.
What he was certain about was that after the chemical reactions here, the already disgusting Cockroach People would become even more difficult and troublesome!
“I have information on this thing.
It’s a Facehugger, the larval form of a creature called an Alien…”
This was hardly rare information; even if Ye Rong and the others hadn’t specifically purchased it, it wasn’t odd for Tao Yu to speak of it.
Upon hearing some of the characteristics of the Aliens from Tao Yu, even Madara Uchiha was left scratching his head.
These things sounded as troublesome as psoriasis, basically impossible to eradicate!
“Additionally, I’d like to ask Mr.
Madara Uchiha about the viruses we’ve already warned about in adjacent worlds, have they spread here?”
Recalling his previously frivolous thoughts now potentially becoming reality, Tao Yu couldn’t help but to speak up and remind him.
“In the Land of Fire, there were some issues, but after receiving the warning, it was controlled quite well.
Currently, only a few villages in the border area are affected, and after completing the extermination, we’ve had all the people in the border villages evacuate.”
Tao Yu had provided valuable information, and Madara Uchiha with his pride naturally offered something in return.
“Even the Land of Fire is affected?
But there’s a world barrier…”
Tao Yu was stunned for a moment; the Land of Fire didn’t border directly with those virus-ridden worlds!
“Our barrier frequently develops cracks under the impacts, and compared to the viruses, the infiltrating cockroaches are even more troublesome.
It seems that they are bringing the viruses with them, which is why I said we currently need remedies for eradicating insects…”
Hearing this, Tao Yu didn’t sense anything else, only feeling that the Land of Fire was ‘in danger’!
Perhaps for some powerful beings, this wasn’t significant, but the number of ninjas in the Land of Fire is finite, and once it exceeds the threshold the ninjas can handle, it will only snowball!
The Cockroach People can burrow!
And they can spread viruses!
One could imagine the severity of the situation by looking at the near-extinction condition in the modern world.
“Based on the information I have, we have already developed a virus vaccine back there, but it has not yet been mass-produced.
This is where we can offer help transporting some for your side to take a look.
Right now, we would like to enter the Land of Fire…”
“Alright, off you go, here, the Pass Token.
It should reduce some questioning.
Though it’s a bit weak, overall you should be fine.”
Madara Uchiha seemed rather easy to deal with and casually tossed a token to Tao Yu, after which he disappeared from the spot with a flicker of body flicker technique, likely off to hunt those Cockroach People again…
What do you think?
