#327 - Hinata was bitten by a snake...
Half a day later, the night was already deep.
"Why isn't he here yet...?"
Looking at the three people grilling fish under a tree more than half a kilometer away, Liang Yue scratched his scalp, a few doubts rising in his heart.
"Logically speaking, Orochimaru should have appeared by now. According to the original plot, that guy seemed to have run out on the first day."
"Could it be that I've stirred up a hornet's nest?"
"...It's possible. I've been following Sasuke and the others all the way, albeit secretly, but it's hard to guarantee that the other party hasn't noticed."
"Moreover, given Orochimaru's methods, even if he's not physically present within a kilometer radius, he might have other, more bizarre means of observation."
Thinking of this, Liang Yue suddenly widened his eyes, simultaneously channeling the spiritual power within his body, increasing the output load on his Byakugan.
In the next moment, under the surge of spiritual power, the complete Byakugan was instantly displayed.
A bright emerald glow adhered to Liang Yue's eyeballs, with strands of crystalline light brewing and flickering within.
The special spherical field of vision, spanning three hundred and sixty degrees, suddenly intensified from faint to almost tangible!
In the dark environment of the Death Forest at night, the dim light did not cause Liang Yue any trouble. Leaves, branches, and even the soil became transparent under his gaze.
In an instant, all the participating ninjas, as well as various birds, beasts, snakes, insects, and rodents within a kilometer radius, were taken into his eyes.
Soon, Liang Yue discovered something amiss.
"There seem to be a few more snakes in this area... sigh."
After figuring out the cause of the matter, Liang Yue narrowed his eyes, secretly lamenting his miscalculation, and with a flip of his sleeve, a handful of embroidery needles bought from the store instantly appeared in his palm.
Gently tossing them beneath him, these dozens of ordinary sewing needles instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Silently, they transformed into animated objects, like swimming fish, constantly flowing, circling, and moving around Liang Yue's periphery.
Sometimes swift as the wind, sometimes lingering like silk, they transformed into a sharp Grim Reaper in the night.
Under the control of his divine sense, they flexibly and chaotically weaved through the dense forest and darkness.
"Hiss!" "Squeak~!" "Ha~~!"...
Soon, cries of misery and wails began to echo in the forest.
In the grass, in the canopy, between the branches~
Snakes lurking in the shadows were issuing their dying howls and laments.
Inconspicuous embroidery needles were now piercing into their brains, entering from the eyeballs, without a trace of warning, nor a trace of energy reaction or heat conduction.
After destroying the brains of these snakes, the embroidery needles immediately retreated as if imbued with spirituality, slowly withdrawing from where they entered, and then flying up again.
Carrying a hint of blood, they continued to quickly weave through the night.
In just a minute or two, the snakes within a few hundred meters were hunted down by Liang Yue.
Telekinesis plus embroidery needles~
One is the most basic spell in the cultivation system, and the other is a necessary item for ordinary people to sew clothes, adding them together naturally doesn't have much power.
It can't even compare to the flying swords and magical treasures of orthodox cultivators, which have been nourished by the spiritual power in their bodies, nurtured by their divine sense, and connected to their hearts.
But it's more than enough to clear out these beasts.
"Too bad, if only I could have obtained a talisman treasure or something similar before leaving the mountain, like Han Xiaomo. Using telekinesis to control these embroidery needles, the power is not as good as throwing them directly by hand."
...
Soon, in the blink of an eye, three days passed just like that~
Orochimaru disappeared...
Although his snake children and grandchildren had been almost completely slaughtered by Liang Yue along the way, this former Sannin of Konoha had never shown his face from beginning to end.
It was as if the person he had seen at the entrance of the Death Forest before was an illusion.
This was definitely not good news for Liang Yue.
Because, an out-of-control plot meant that the development of the situation had exceeded his control.
It is worth mentioning that the Wind Phantom Dragon template under the "Don't Starve" mode must use the Dragon Fruit from the "Don't Starve" world to achieve the effect of stimulating the upgrade.
Fortunately, these things had already been planted in his stronghold world, and a large pile had been stored in the warehouse~
After the upgrade, the rewards Liang Yue received were basically the same as Nana and the little eagle Rachel in the stronghold world.
All were ten free attribute points, and one reward could be chosen from a five percent bonus to attack, defense, elemental resistance, and health.
In addition, after the upgrade, Liang Yue felt that his body seemed to have become stronger.
However, this strength was not reflected in specific values, and he did not see any differences from his personal information panel.
But it was indeed real.
After some thought, Liang Yue came to two speculations about the appearance of this situation.
First, it may be that the current system panel is not detailed enough, and cannot give deeper things beyond those surface values.
The second guess is that the power of the Wind Phantom Dragon's bloodline may have formed some unclear and inexplicable effects on him.
Liang Yue added the ten free attribute points to spirit without hesitation.
The five percent attribute bonus was chosen for attack power.
The former's spirit points, although seemingly a drop in the bucket, can have a significant impact on his telekinesis, hair control ability, precise control of mental power, and even the speed of learning various exercises when accumulated.
The other five percent attack power is a passive damage bonus.
In short, don't be timid, just do it!
...
After stepping into the central tower, Liang Yue looked around for the first time, but among the participating contestants and the leading teachers who were obviously fewer in sight, he still did not find Orochimaru's figure.
Even the Sound Ninja that he had disguised himself as before had disappeared.
It seemed that Orochimaru had completely hidden himself...
"Could it be that I scared him away?"
Liang Yue walked slowly into the room at this time, with a calm expression, and thought somewhat unreliably in his heart.
"Chunqiu~ Why are you only here now! Over here!"
Just then, Naruto's voice suddenly came from the front. Looking up, the little blondie was waving at him.
Sasuke, Sakura, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Team Kurenai were also standing beside him.
"Chunqiu also entered the Death Forest? I mean during the test."
Sakura suddenly asked at this time.
"Yeah, I noticed some situations before. It seemed that a few spies from other villages had sneaked into the exam, so I've been following behind you."
Liang Yue said, not hiding anything.
Looking around, the number of examinees who arrived in the crowd coincided with the number in the original plot.
Among them were the three remaining Sound Ninja, and Yakushi Kabuto, who was about to give up.
"Spies!? Did you catch them? Which village are they from?"
Naruto exclaimed loudly with an excited expression when he heard this.
The surrounding examinees looked over when they heard what he said...
Feeling the gazes of the surrounding people, the little blondie suddenly realized and covered his mouth.
"The other party is very cunning and has not appeared since entering the Death Forest."
After speaking, Liang Yue looked around again, and then asked with a strange expression.
"Why isn't Hinata here?"
"Oh~ Hinata was bitten by a snake on the way here. It was a really big snake, it suddenly jumped out, and it was very fast, we didn't even react.
However, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, she is receiving treatment now."
Kiba explained from the side when he heard this.
"Hinata, bitten by a snake..."
