Chapter 1087: Setting up a stall?
Minato and his team had just escaped from the cave, and before they had time to catch their breath, they found a group of strange monsters pouring out of the cave. These monsters were short but agile, with green eyes and sharp roars. The team members became nervous again and quickly got into fighting postures. Minato observed the movement patterns of the monsters and thought about how to deal with them. Suddenly, a monster pounced on a team member. Minato was quick-witted and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to save the team member and hit the monster with his backhand. Just as they were fighting fiercely with the monsters, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a huge black shadow emerged from the clouds. It turned out to be a more powerful demon bird. Its claws were as sharp as blades, and a flap of its wings brought a gust of wind. Minato realized that this was another greater challenge set by the Demon Realm. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Everyone cheer up, we will face it together!" Then he led the team members to once again engage in a new battle. The demon bird swooped down, grabbing Minato with its claws. Minato dodged flexibly and summoned a stream of water at the same time, rushing towards the demon bird. The demon bird flapped its wings and flew high, avoiding the attack of the water, and then flapped its wings, and the strong wind carried sand and gravel to the team members. Many team members were hit by the sand and gravel and staggered back. The short monsters also took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack. For a while, the team members were caught in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Seeing this, Minato quickly condensed a huge spiral ball in his hand and threw it at the demon bird. The demon bird was hit by the spiral ball and let out a scream, but soon stabilized its body and attacked again. At this time, a team member discovered the weakness of the demon bird and shouted to remind everyone. Minato made a prompt decision and commanded the team members to concentrate their firepower to attack the weakness of the demon bird. Everyone worked together and attacked again and again, and the demon bird gradually became exhausted. At the same time, the other team members gradually suppressed the monsters. Finally, with everyone's efforts, the demon bird was defeated, and the demons fled. Minato and his team breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their unknown journey. However, they didn't go far before a strange light barrier suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way. Runes flickered faintly in the light, revealing a mysterious and powerful power. Just as Minato was about to step forward to explore, a huge human face appeared in the barrier, and said in a low voice: "If you want to pass this road, you need to solve the puzzle I set, otherwise you will be trapped here forever." Everyone looked at each other, this new challenge came unexpectedly. Minato frowned and responded calmly. The puzzle was about the balance of power in the ancient history of the Demon Realm, which was very obscure. The team members started to think, and they discussed it one by one. Just when time seemed to be running out, Minato suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said the answer. The human face paused slightly, and then slowly said: "The answer is correct." Then, the barrier slowly dissipated. Minato and his team members looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and continued to walk towards the unknown depths of the demonic domain. No one knew what kind of difficulties and obstacles were waiting for them ahead. Not long after they moved forward, the ground suddenly shook violently, and huge stone spikes pierced through the ground, dividing the team. It turned out that there was a death trap area full of mechanisms ahead. The stone spikes kept popping up randomly, and the speed was getting faster and faster, making it difficult to defend against. The team members had difficulty dodging between the stone spikes, and from time to time someone was scratched and bleeding. Minato was anxious, dodging the attacks while observing the rules of the mechanism. Suddenly, he found that the appearance of the stone spikes seemed to be related to some runes on the ground. Minato concentrated his mind and used ninjutsu to control the water flow and wash away the runes. Some of the stone spikes really stopped popping up. He quickly directed the team members to move forward along the safe route. However, just as everyone was about to walk out of the trap area, a huge stone beast drilled out from the ground and opened its bloody mouth to pounce on the team members. Minato quickly gathered his chakra and prepared to fight a fierce battle with the stone beast. He knew that every challenge was a test for them. Only by defeating everything in front of them could they go deep into the devil's domain and uncover the final secret. Minato rushed forward first and kicked the stone beast in the head. The stone beast roared in pain and swept over with its thick forelimbs. Minato flexibly dodged to the side and formed seals with his hands at the same time, summoning several water dragons to pounce on the stone beast. The stone beast shook its body, and stone spikes shot out from its body, breaking the water dragons one after another.
At this time, the team members also recovered and performed ninjutsu to support Minato. Some team members used wind escape technique to roll up sand and dust to confuse the stone beast's vision; some team members used earth escape technique to create obstacles to restrict the stone beast's movement.
The stone beast was enraged by the attacks of the crowd, and it slammed into a team member. Minato saw this and immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear in front of the team member, blocking the stone beast's attack with his body. He groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still held the stone beast tightly.
Just as the stone beast was about to exert its strength again, Minato seized the opportunity and launched a strengthened Rasengan into the stone beast's abdomen. The stone beast roared in pain, and its body was about to fall. Everyone took advantage of the victory and after a fierce attack, the stone beast fell to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble.
Minato and his team took a short break and then headed deeper into the Demon Realm. Not long after they walked, a wide lava river appeared in front of them, with only a shaky stone bridge on the river. As soon as they stepped onto the stone bridge, the bridge began to shake violently, and at the same time, columns of hot lava gushed out from under the bridge. The team members moved forward carefully, but some were still splashed by the lava and their clothes were instantly burned. Minato stabilized his body while thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, several slabs of the stone bridge broke and fell, and a team member slipped and fell. Minato was quick-witted and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to catch him. At this moment, several huge fire pythons emerged from the lava river, spitting out their tongues and attacking the team members. Minato quickly formed a seal and summoned a large amount of water to fight against the fire pythons. The team members also used ninjutsu to fight the fire pythons. After a difficult battle, they finally repelled the fire pythons. However, the stone bridge was also damaged more seriously in the battle. Minato made a prompt decision and asked the team members to stand around him. He used a powerful water escape technique to condense an ice bridge on the lava river. Everyone took advantage of the ice bridge before it melted and quickly crossed it, continuing to explore the depths of the demonic domain. Unknown dangers were still waiting for them. As soon as they crossed the ice bridge, it quickly melted under the high temperature of the lava. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a misty forest with a strange atmosphere appeared in front of them. As they stepped into the forest, they felt the temperature around them drop sharply, and the gloomy atmosphere made the team members nervous. Suddenly, a group of black shadows jumped out from the branches. They turned out to be a group of translucent ghost monsters. They made sharp cries and rushed towards the team members. Minato immediately commanded the team members to stand back to back and perform ninjutsu to fight against the ghost monsters. But the ghost monsters can attack through entities, and the team members' attacks are not effective. Just when everyone was in trouble, Minato found that the ghost monsters seemed to be afraid of a certain light. He concentrated his chakra and condensed a sphere emitting soft light in his hand. Wherever the light went, the ghost monsters dissipated. The team members were encouraged and cooperated with Minato's light to gradually repel the ghost monsters.
