Chapter 1088: Unpaid Deposit

They took advantage of the gap when the ghost monster was repelled and quickly advanced in the forest. However, this foggy forest seemed to have no end, and the strange fog never dissipated. Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and a huge tree demon broke out of the ground. Its branches were as hard as steel and swept towards the team members. Minato quickly performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and moved the team members to a safe area. The tree demon seemed to be enraged, and it spewed green poisonous mist from its mouth, instantly covering the surroundings. The team members held their breath, and Minato used chakra to create a protective shield to temporarily resist the poisonous mist. At this time, Minato found that there was a core emitting a faint light at the root of the tree demon. He guessed that this might be the weakness of the tree demon. So he commanded the team members to distract the attention of the tree demon, and he found the right time and rushed to the root of the tree demon at a very fast speed. He condensed a powerful chakra knife in his hand and slashed at the core. With a loud bang, the tree demon fell to the ground, and the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and a new road seemed to appear in front. As the team members were about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to move forward, the fallen tree demon turned into a ball of black smoke and condensed into a larger and more ferocious monster. Its body was wrapped in green poisonous mist, its eyes flashed with evil light, and it let out a deafening roar. Minato realized that the core just now might just be a disguise, and the real battle had just begun.

The monster rushed towards the team members at a very fast speed. Minato quickly performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and multiple clones rushed towards the monster together, trying to distract its attention. The team members also performed their own ninjutsu, and for a moment, various lights flashed in the forest. Just as everyone attacked with all their strength, the monster suddenly released a powerful energy wave, knocking everyone back.

Minato steadied himself and found a beating red core in the monster's chest. He acted decisively and used the Flying Thunder God Technique again. He instantly appeared in front of the monster and thrust the chakra knife into its core. The monster howled in pain and its body gradually dissipated. This time, the fog completely dissipated, and a clear road appeared in front of everyone. The team members smiled at each other and continued to move forward towards the unknown. As they walked, the air around them suddenly became bitterly cold and the ground began to freeze. Before the team members could react, a group of ice sculptures emerged from the ground. They were in various shapes, holding ice blades, and rushed towards the team members. Minato shouted, "Everyone be careful!" He quickly formed a seal and summoned a water flow to form a shield to temporarily resist the attack of the ice sculptures. The team members were not to be outdone and used fire escape ninjutsu to try to melt the ice sculptures. However, the ice sculptures were very tenacious and quickly recondensed after being partially melted. Minato observed carefully and found that the joints of the ice sculptures were relatively fragile. He commanded the team members to focus on attacking the joints, and he once again performed the Flying Thunder God Technique, shuttling between the ice sculptures and chopping their joints with the chakra knife. After a fierce battle, the ice sculptures fell one after another. At this time, a castle emitting a mysterious light appeared in front of them. The gate of the castle slowly opened, as if calling them to enter. Unknown dangers and opportunities seemed to be waiting for the team members in this castle. The team members stepped into the castle cautiously. The light inside was dim and filled with a decayed atmosphere. Suddenly, the stone slabs on the ground began to move, forming a series of spike traps. Minato was quick-witted and performed the Flying Thunder God Technique again to bring the team members to a safe area. Then, countless sharp arrows shot out from the wall, and Minato commanded the team members to resist with ninjutsu.

While dodging traps, they came to a hall with a huge ice ball suspended in the center, which contained a mysterious figure. When the team members approached to check, the ice ball suddenly cracked, and an ice demon with a cold body appeared. The ice demon waved his hands, and the ground froze again. Ice sculptures appeared again, and there were more of them than before.

Minato and his team members did not retreat. They reorganized the battle. Minato continued to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to attack the ice demon, while the team members fought against the ice sculpture monster. In the fierce battle, Minato discovered that the power of the ice demon came from an ice crystal on the top of the castle. He found the right time, performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the top, and destroyed the ice crystal. The power of the ice demon weakened instantly, and was finally defeated by everyone. The castle began to shake, and the door opened again. There was light outside, and the team members successfully broke through the castle. The team members walked out of the castle, thinking that the danger was over, but as soon as they stepped into the bright land outside, the ground under their feet began to collapse, and everyone fell into a bottomless black hole. When they landed, they found themselves in a strange space, with strange blue lights flashing around, and mysterious runes engraved on the walls. Before they could figure out the situation, a group of ghostly rune monsters flew out of the wall and pounced on them. These rune monsters were extremely fast and their attacks were tricky, and the team members were a little overwhelmed for a while. Minato calmly commanded the team members to stand back to back and resist the attack together. He continued to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique to find the weakness of the rune monster. After some observation, Minato discovered that the core of the rune monster was the glowing rune on its body. He quickly informed the team members of this discovery, and everyone concentrated their firepower to attack the rune. With everyone's efforts, the rune monster was gradually eliminated. At this time, a passage appeared in the center of the space, and there was a faint light flickering at the end of the passage. The team members looked at each other, with a hint of tension and expectation, and walked towards the passage, not knowing what kind of challenges were waiting for them ahead. They walked into the passage carefully, and lasers suddenly shot out from both sides of the passage. Minato hurriedly performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer the team members one by one to avoid them. After finally passing through the laser area, a huge rotating gear array appeared in front of them. The gears rotated rapidly, and they would be crushed if they were not careful. Minato observed for a moment, and directed the team members to find the gaps between the gears and pass through them one by one. When they were about to pass through, a team member was accidentally rubbed by the gear and was slightly injured. Minato quickly pulled him to a safe area.

Finally, they walked out of the gear array, and the light at the end of the passage became brighter and brighter. When they stepped out of the passage, they saw a sea of ​​fire in front of them, and there were huge figures swimming in the sea of ​​fire. It turned out to be several fire dragons, they opened their mouths and spewed out blazing flames. Minato made a prompt decision and asked the team members to perform water escape ninjutsu to form a water wall to resist the flames. He himself performed the Flying Thunder God Technique again, looking for the weakness of the fire dragon, preparing to start a new round of battle.
