Naruto: Legend of Jiraiya

Chapter 222: Hanging Soul Ladder

"click..."

A lot of small organ responses started to sound, and there was no need to touch the key-like thing, and we went down slowly. We felt a violent shaking under our feet, worried that something else would happen, and hurriedly greeted everyone. step back.

With a loud bang, the small hole and the area around the key began to bulge upwards, one after another, very regular, and each piece was one meter square.It took about seven or eight blocks to stop, and there seemed to be an ancient staircase in front of us.

Xiaolong was very skilled, he jumped, glanced down, turned around and said to us: "There is a way!"

The few of us followed up, and found that there is a deep tunnel below, with no end in sight, and the thing like a key is stuck in it. I thought it was an ancient bow and arrow at first, but I didn’t expect Xiaolong to be right. , It is really a key, but this is not the key to open the final door, it is just a key to open the passage.

Xiaolong said: "It seems that the layout here is much more difficult than we expected. Now, we have only reached the door!"

We discussed it, and felt that the place where the artifacts are located must be good. If all go down, people are likely to die. This is the last thing we want to see, and finally decided to split into two groups. Xiaonan, Mao Xiaolong and I go down. Zhang Xiaomei and Dong Qing were waiting on the top, but they were actually asked to help guard the entrance of the passage, lest everyone go down, and the passage suddenly closed, covering everyone in it.

Zhang Xiaomei wanted to go down with us at first, but considering that Dongqing and the others above were weak, they had to keep a strong hand on it. Xiaolong handed over all the little ghosts he brought to Zhang Xiaomei for her to drive. Beasts can't reach this place, and only things with wings can get here. With Zhang Xiaomei here, it shouldn't be a big problem to guard the entrance of the passage.

Not much nonsense, our time is limited, after explaining everything, Xiao Nan and I will explore the way ahead, Xiao Long will follow behind, and the rest of us are all good behind us, which is much faster than when we came here. The stairs kept going down, and Xiaonan and I jumped down as much as possible in order to hurry up. Xiaolong was able to keep up at first, but after a long time, his physical strength was a little too much, so he hurriedly shouted behind: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" In a while..."

Xiao Nan and I smiled and turned around to pick him up. "Why, it won't work so soon?"

Xiaolong was wheezing, his face was ugly, he waved his hands, and said, "No, that's not it, didn't you notice it? We...we seem to have fallen deeply...cough cough..."

Xiaolong looked really tired, coughed for a while, and was barely able to speak. "This place is weird!"

"Wacky? Where's the weirdness?"

Xiaonan and I didn't find anything weird. Xiaolong sat on the stone steps, took a few deep breaths, and said: "You are ninjas, and you go down fast, so you don't feel it. After a while, at least thousands of stone steps have been passed, if calculated according to this depth, we have already descended to a depth of several thousand meters, there is no way there is still light!"

He pointed at the top with his finger, and we could still see the light outside, but it was really like what he said, if we went down to a depth of several thousand meters, we would not be able to see the light, Xiaonan also reacted now , the temperature around us didn't seem to change at all, which is unreasonable. It should be much colder below than above. Now we stretched out our hands and tried it, and it didn't feel cold at all.

Xiaolong was afraid of his thighs, so he yelled badly: "We have hit the hanging soul ladder..."

I have heard of the Hanging Soul Ladder long ago. It is a weird phenomenon that violates the laws of science. To put it bluntly, no matter how you walk, you can only climb up and down within a fixed number of steps, and you will never get out of this weird range.

Xiaolong took out the ink fountain, talked on a step, took a breath, stood up and said: "Let's use this as a mark, if we still encounter this black line when we go down, it proves that we have been tricked."

We were a little flustered all of a sudden. We looked up, but we couldn’t see Zhang Xiaomei and the others at all. We remembered the black mark and walked down together for a while. When we reached the No.20 step, the black line The line really appeared. We took a closer look at the top of the stone steps, the footprints of the three of us, and a bird I drew before leaving. It seems that the three of us really met the hanging soul ladder...

Xiao Nan asked him: "Is there any way to break this trick?"

Xiaolong said: "Yes! Black dog blood! But...but I didn't bring it."

I was discouraged after hearing this, the majestic ghost catcher didn't bring all the equipment out.However, what Xiaolong said made some sense. He thought he was going to get the artifact and didn't need the blood of a black dog, so he didn't bring it with him. Moreover, the blood of a black dog is something to ward off evil spirits.Without the kid, he wouldn't have been able to get to the fifth district so quickly to find us...

I know it’s useless to explain anything now, the plan for now is to find a way to break the Hanging Soul Ladder, otherwise, even if we didn’t starve to death, the world would have perished long ago, what magic are we looking for, what kind of Hanging Soul Ladder to break It's all for nothing!

Xiaolong was very frank and said directly: "I have no choice but to rely on you."

I was like giving him a slap in the face, thinking to myself, you are usually pretty damn reliable, why did you just throw away the chain when it was such a critical moment.

Xiaonan and I don't understand the formation, so don't mention the matter of cracking the Hanging Soul Ladder.Now we can only rely on trials. Fortunately, both of us are ninjas. With the blessing of Chakra, it is much more convenient for ordinary people to do things.

Xiaonan asked me what to do, and I said, "There are only so many steps in total, let's try one by one, and we can always find a pattern."

Later, we thought of the most stupid but most effective method, avatar technique!People nowadays say that there is no way to separate parts, and our couple happens to have this advantage. Fortunately, the so-called Hanging Soul Stairway has only 21 floors. Xiaonan and I can easily occupy all the stone steps. After we find it Looking at the effect, you can understand what is going on with the Hanging Soul Ladder.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Paper clone technique!"

Our husband and wife filled up all those stone steps, and then asked Xiaolong to look for any flaws. Unexpectedly, this method is really effective, and soon we discovered the mystery. It turns out that those stone steps have a characteristic, as long as the quality of the above As the weight gets heavier, the stone steps will float up and down, but the floating range is so small that the three of us didn't even notice it. Now that we stand firmly on it, we realize that they have been moving.

This should be the mystery of the Hanging Soul Ladder. We habitually walked through a step, then went to look at the steps below, and kept going down. When we reached the No.20 step, these stone steps also floated to the corresponding position. , It looked as if he was walking back again.

Xiaolong said: "If you didn't know the avatar technique, I'm afraid you would be trapped to death here."

Finally, we thought of a way not to take the stone steps, because once we touch the stone steps, the 21st floor like those stairs will be activated, so we will never reach the place below the 21st floor. Xiaonan used two paper clones to separate us Hugged, and then waited for the stone steps to return to normal. After a while, there were no heavy objects on those stone steps, and they immediately stopped moving.

We floated down along the stone steps. When we reached the No.20 floor, we looked down again. Sure enough, there was no black line left on the stone platform. Everyone was overjoyed and dared not step on the stone steps. , Floating all the way down, about 50 meters or so, and saw the bottom of the channel.

Xiaolong picked up the fire book and exclaimed: "My God, it turned out to be an ancient tomb!"
