Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"According to common sense, it is safer to stay together. However, judging from the previous images, staying together is not necessarily safe. Besides, the food we prepared is not abundant."

Jiraiya looked at the mysterious maze and analyzed it. After all, the image outside was a warning.

When Paimon thought about the food in his and the traveler's backpacks that had rotted away, he felt so heartbroken that he wanted to cry.

"So, we are acting separately?" Orochimaru looked at everyone and then confirmed again.

No one responded. Instead, Wuku tilted his head and looked at everyone, asking in confusion, "Why do we have to separate? Wuku doesn't want to be separated from everyone anymore! Besides, if there's a wall, can't we just smash it?"

As Wuku said this, he actually used his small body to punch the gray-blue stone wall.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and Uku actually used his body of less than 1.4 meters to punch a big hole in the stone wall.

"Wow! Uku is so strong? So the weakest is still Paimon..." I don't know what Paimon is struggling with. I'm afraid she can't even beat little Timmy who feeds pigeons outside Mondstadt all day long?

"Wait!" Jiraiya wanted to stop him, but before he could move, Uku happily crawled in through the hole.

"Wuku can't waste time here, Wuku has to go save the princess!" Wuku was about to smash the second wall angrily. Wuku is a child who doesn't use his brain when doing things!

Just after Uku broke through the second wall and passed through, the first wall that had just been broken through healed in just a few seconds!

It was indeed healing. The whole wall seemed to have life. The hole healed completely like a wound, but the healing speed was ridiculously fast.

The hole was so big that one person could pass through it, but it was repaired in just a few seconds without a single crack visible.

There was no more movement behind the wall. You have to know that the noise of Uku smashing the wall is not something that can be ignored just because of a wall. An extremely bad feeling rose in Jiraiya's mind.

Without any hesitation, he casually used the Large Ball Rasengan to directly pierce through the stone wall that had just healed.

After breaking through several stone walls, there was still nothing. You know, although Wuku is a erratic kid, it is impossible for him to disappear by himself in such a short time.

"Orochimaru, what's going on?" Even though he hadn't had a serious chat with Orochimaru for 20 or 30 years, Jiraiya still instinctively threw questions he didn't understand to Orochimaru the first time.

However, Orochimaru licked his tongue slowly and said, "It seems that it is not that easy, and the pathfinder snake I sent to drill into the ground lost contact after drilling a certain distance.

This way of losing contact is very similar to being quickly dissolved by gastric acid in the stomach of some creature. You should be familiar with this, Jiraiya, right?"

As Orochimaru said, Jiraiya did use toads to swallow people many times.

"Hey! Are we in the belly of some giant monster now? Uh...if we want to get out, Paimon would prefer to get out from the front..."

???

Paimon's remarks confused Orochimaru. It should be because Jiraiya led him out from behind the giant toad not long ago, which left a big psychological shadow on Paimon.

Orochimaru thought silently, and then put on blue rubber surgical gloves very carefully, and took some slag from the ground and examined it.

"Can you explain what this is?" Jiraiya asked, pointing at the "slag" in Orochimaru's hand.

This thing was very strange. Even in Orochimaru's palm, it still moved slowly. Although it was so slow that it could be mistaken for an illusion, it was moving without fail.

Orochimaru also hesitated for a while and then said, "I don't have a clear understanding of the structure of this world yet, and it's difficult to make a final conclusion for the time being. But Jiraiya, have you heard of a single-celled organism called slime mold?"

"Single-cell organisms?" Jiraiya shook his head in confusion. Single-cell organisms seemed to exist around us all the time, even in our bodies. But you just couldn't see them, just like when people often say there are millions of bacteria on something.

There are many types of single-cell organisms, but with the technology of the era in which Jiraiya lived, only highly professional elites could know the existence of single-cell organisms. Not to mention that Jiraiya was not good at academic research.

Even in the modern ninja world where technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, the knowledge of children like Uzumaki Boruto about single-celled organisms should only be limited to the "Paramecium" and "Amoeba" learned in school classrooms.

"I have conducted many experiments and found that slime mold, the simplest single-celled organism, may have consciousness.

Or they have a unified consciousness. If the entire maze is made up of this slime mold, then they may be constantly changing themselves.

In other words, perhaps this maze itself is a dead end with no end."

It was clearly a serious and terrifying story, but Orochimaru always had that strange smile on his face, which made people even more uneasy.

"Is there any way? Finding people is the most important thing now." Jiraiya was really overwhelmed. He came here to rescue people, but he didn't see any progress, and the number of people who needed to be rescued was increasing.

Orochimaru didn't hide it, and casually took out a scroll from his sleeve, with the word "spider" written on it. Then, like every day, he shook his arm and a puff of white mist passed, and a large pool of golden threads appeared on the scroll.

"Wow! It's gold!" Paimon's eyes lit up when he saw the golden threads. They were even brighter than usual when he heard about treasure.

He stretched out his little hand and grabbed a handful of them. The traveler looked at the embarrassing Paimon and stroked his forehead.

"Uh? Why are these gold threads so sticky? That's weird."

Jiraiya, who had read the detailed report of the audio-visual quartet, couldn't bear to look at it. He didn't know whether he should tell Paimon the truth.

"Spider's gold. The spider silk mixed with Kidomaru's chakra and sweat is so hard and tough that it can easily cut steel. And unless it is cut by a divine weapon like the Kusanagi sword, there is almost no possibility of it breaking.

There is also a cursed power attached to it, and I can easily sense its condition and location."

Orochimaru introduced it with bad intentions. Paimon, who was still holding the golden thread, was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "The Kidomaru is...?"

"Don't worry, it's not a real spider, just one of his subordinates." Jiraiya seemed to be trying to comfort Paimon.

However, before Paimon could give him psychological counseling, Orochimaru took out his trump card - a photo of Kidomaru!

(Thank you Ainz Ooal Gown for the gift! I can’t type the name in Japanese.

Although I have never expected anyone to give me gifts, nor have I begged for gifts from others, but since they have been given, I can't help but express my gratitude.

Thank you very much! )
