Chapter 382 Entering the Wet Bone Forest

The moment the spiritual formation was activated, the feeling of misaligned center of gravity instantly filled Ling's perception, which made him subconsciously curl up his body slightly and adjust himself into a posture that was convenient for receiving and defending.

But this subconscious behavior did not play the role it should have. The feeling of dislocation of center of gravity lasted only a short moment, and the air with a slightly sour smell also rushed into Ling's nostrils.

Youlu lay on top of Ling's head, and when the scene suddenly became clear, he directed his own chakra to Ling, and looked around at the same time, "This is really unhealthy air... If you have a mask, take it out now, it will be of some use after all."

Ling found the mask, wet it slightly and put it on his face. His frown finally relaxed a little. "Is there a swamp or volcano around? This is the first time I smell such pungent air."

"No, it's completely white, and the temperature is quite suitable... There is endless white land, and there are all kinds of white bones, plus this corrosive air... It's hard to imagine what kind of creature can live here for thousands of years." Youlu's eyes of different colors continued to scan the surroundings. "But what can I say? I didn't see the slug fairy mentioned by the red-haired boy, or the living slug mentioned by Vulpix at all."

Ling was about to say something when he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking. He immediately squatted down and used his chakra to absorb the ground. His voice was full of helplessness, "I encountered an earthquake right after I came in. I have bad luck today...Xiaoyou, is there any place nearby where I can take shelter? Xiaoyou?"

Feeling Youlv's stiffness, Ling raised his hand to smooth its fur to comfort it, and at the same time slowed down his voice, "Xiaoyou, what's wrong?"

But before Yalu could say anything, Ling heard a soft but gentle voice like a bell coming from above his head, "Oh, I was just wondering who called my name. It turns out it was Master Two-Tails and Master Uchiha who came to visit. It's nice to meet you. Welcome."

Ling was also stiff now. He tentatively extended one hand and touched the ground at his feet while squatting. His face twitched slightly when he felt the slippery and sticky ground. However, he still released the perception ninjutsu unwillingly. After a moment, he withdrew his hand, but he could not hide his discomfort in his actions. "...Um, excuse me, is the white ground that I sensed part of your body?"

This time, the voice was closer again, but the volume became much smaller. "Yes, my body is a bit huge, so I usually use this split body to communicate with other creatures. I'm really sorry to have startled you two just now. It's been too long since anyone came, and I was a little too happy.

Excuse me, is it convenient for me to use my small split body to your shoulder? Because of my long-term residence in the Wet Bone Forest, the air has become unsuitable for human breathing. I will use the medical ninjutsu combined with fairy arts to treat you, which should be less burdensome to the body than using the tailed beast chakra. And if the distance is shortened, our communication will be smoother. "

Youlu also recovered from the shock of seeing the giant slug. Taking advantage of Ling's stiffness, he lowered his eyes to look at the split body that was only the size of an adult's palm, and said in a strange voice, "You were raised to this size by that guy Liuwei who kills everything he raises?"

"Are you talking about Vulpix?" The voice of the living slug lowered to a level that sounded particularly harmless. At this moment, the small split body was happily shaking its antennae. "After assisting Master Yugoro and Master Hamura in the battle to save the world, I was indeed very weak and received a lot of care from Master Vulpix. Master Vulpix taught me how to use my own mucus to differentiate acid - but this technique became a bit troublesome after combining it with fairy arts."

"Humph~ It's a pity that Vulpix has been thinking you are just a little slug with only a little chakra talent for so many years. You should have been born earlier than us to be able to participate in the battle between the old man and his brother."

Youlu raised his paw and patted Ling's forehead, "What are you thinking? Let him come up and use fairy chakra to heal his body. This is a wonderful thing that many people can't even think of."

The corner of Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and he stretched out his hand stiffly, "Then thank you for your help."

"No, I would like to ask for your guidance as well."

Feeling the soft and slimy creature crawling up along his palm, Ling tried several times to suppress the urge to slap the creature off his body with his other hand. He stood up stiffly and tried to divert his attention. "I don't know much about the social habits of non-human creatures. I want to learn fairy arts from you. Is there any price to pay?"

"Senjutsu? If you insist on learning, I am happy to teach you..." The slug finally climbed onto Ling's shoulder. After slightly sensing the chakra frequency of Youlu and Ling, he took over Youlu's work and continued to help Ling transfer chakra to relieve the damage to his body. "But please forgive me, the character of the Uchiha clan is not suitable for practicing senjutsu."

As the healing chakra of the mixed senjutsu chakra permeated his body, Ling finally felt the slight tingling in his internal organs disappear, and his frown relaxed a little. He stood up straight with the cane and sword, but still unconsciously tilted his head away from the shoulder where the living slug was. "Can you please tell me in detail?"

The living slug shook its tentacles a few times and explained in a low voice without any temper, "In fact, as early as the very beginning, when there was no concept of chakra in this world, people practiced through fairy arts. At that time, the ninja world had far more holy places for practice than it does now, but most of them disappeared with the arrival of Princess Kaguya.

This is also what happened when the brothers Yuyi and Hamura... Oh, sorry, I've gone too far. When I get older, I can't help but reminisce about the past. "

"It's okay. I also like to hear these things. It's an honor to hear the history of the old times from the mouths of those who experienced it firsthand..." Ling shook his head, and finally prepared himself mentally, sitting down on the spot, "If you don't mind, please tell me more."
