Chapter 529 Dragon Disaster [Supplementary Chapter]

"I see. What you mean is that your community has been worshipping this so-called dragon vein for hundreds of years, and the dragon vein would respond to you. But for some reason, not only has the dragon vein not responded to you in recent years, it has also frequently rioted, right?"

"Yes, yes, Master Ninja..."

Uzumaki Yi nodded slightly and looked at the cowering man in front of him, "What exactly is the riot like?"

"Sandstorms, quicksand pits, and dragon disasters, those are the three types..." The man lowered his head, looking timid, "Dragon disasters refer to when the dragon veins completely awaken and rush out from underground to wreak havoc. According to records, these only happen once every hundred years, but recently they've happened twice in just ten years - you see, those holes are all left by dragon disasters."

Xuwo Yi looked in the direction the man pointed, "I understand. How do you usually worship the dragon veins? Can you tell me about it? Just the three most recent ones will be fine."

The man hesitated and stopped talking.

"Well, it seems that it is inconvenient," Uzumaki Yi nodded without surprise, and did not force it, "We need to discuss the handling policy briefly, please step aside for now."

After the man left in fear, Uzumaki Osamu frowned in disgust, "It's the same again, saying nothing but expecting others to help them solve their problems..."

"Well, you'll get used to it. And it's easy to guess what they're hiding, right? Material sacrifices that mainly involve crops and gathered items, living sacrifices that mainly involve game and livestock, and human sacrifices that mainly involve young children and living people... There are only these three types. Seeing how they find it difficult to speak, it's probably human sacrifices."

Uzumaki Yang folded his arms and sneered, "Maybe they think that we ninjas are messengers of justice who have never seen the world, and think that we will punish them after knowing about it? But if I remember correctly, the five major countries should have announced that they have abolished human sacrifice, right?"

"But only the Fire Nation has issued an official decree. Even so, there are still many remote places that use women and children as sacrifices to their so-called gods," Uzumaki sighed. "They were almost drained of their lives by those evil gods, but after being stopped, they blamed us for saving them... Yi, what's your decision?"

"Well, things still need to be done, but the method still needs to be considered - Ling, don't you have anything to say?"

"I don't have the habit of interfering with other people's tasks, but if you plan to give me something to deal with, I don't mind." Ling, who was sitting on a rock holding a staff and a knife, turned his head and said, "But it's better not to. I don't really want to get close to the formation you set up. After all, I don't know much about sealing techniques."

Xuwo Yi still looked at Ling, "I see, I thought you had discovered something by frowning and pretending to listen."

"Because after I came here, I could hear unclear voices. I was trying to figure out what was coming from them—" Ling raised his hand slightly, and the wind attribute chakra gathered in his palm, forming a small whirlwind that quickly dissipated. "Also, the natural energy around me seems particularly violent. After I understood what it wanted, this was the first time I felt it resisting me."

"Unusual natural energy and unknown sounds..." Uzumaki Yi also frowned, "It is indeed something worth noting - Zhi, Yang, did you hear any sound?"

"Not at all. You need to have a certain level of spiritual energy to be able to hear it, right? I don't want to admit defeat, but we are no match for the Uchiha in this regard." Uzumaki Yang shook his head, "And from experience, hearing sounds that ordinary people can't hear means trouble is coming. Even if it will be easier to solve the incident after hearing it, I don't want to hear it."

Uzumaki Nobuhiro looked at Ling who was still tilting his head to confirm something, "Hey, can you tell what that voice is saying?"

"What are you saying... Although I can't hear clearly, I can vaguely sense that they are complaining and yelling, right?" Ling frowned even more tightly and raised his hand to point in a direction, "It should be over there - do you want to go over and take a look?"

The three whirlpools looked at each other, and Whirlpool Yi nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look! Maybe there will be some breakthrough progress! Come on, Ling, let's go together!"

"To be honest, I don't recommend going there." Ling slid down the boulder and walked over to the group. "If you want to know why, the natural energy is driving me in the opposite direction - you can understand it as a warning."

"I see... Then let's go!" Uzumaki Yi took the lead and said, "Move forward carefully!"

Ling followed naturally, "Well, don't be anxious, just pay attention and observe."

Uzumaki Yang looked at the two people who had walked five or six meters away, and with a twitch in his mouth, he gestured to Uzumaki Zhi and followed behind, "There is definitely something wrong with the way you two communicate..."

"I can't help it. Sometimes things are just like this - the more you are not allowed to do something, the more you want to explore it." Ling chuckled, "Besides, I am an Uchiha with psychopathic tendencies. You shouldn't be surprised by anything I do."

"I'm not a Senju who can dismiss you with a simple sentence 'They are Uchiha' no matter what you do..."

Uzumaki Yang muttered, but his movements were not vague at all. The red-gold diamond blockade spread out from behind him, alerting the surroundings to any movement.

"Really? If you really plan to find an Uchiha as your partner, I advise you to get used to it as soon as possible." Ling chuckled and tilted his head. "I can probably hear what he said - liar, disgusting, annoying - probably words like these, and it sounds, well, very angry and immature."

"Only simple words? That sounds like a child learning to speak." Xuwo Yi frowned as he looked at the huge hole not far away. "Ling, did you hear the sound coming from the front?"

"Well, is there anything there?"

"There is a hole left by the dragon disaster, the smell is not good--" Uzumaki Yi frowned even tighter, "Judging from the traces, it happened recently."

"What exactly is that dragon vein? Since you've noticed this place a long time ago, you should have more information than what you've sensed along the way, right? It's about time you share some with me."

"It is said that a huge amount of chakra has emerged from underground and has taken shape. We have not been able to find out more details yet." Uzumaki Yi did not hesitate to share information at this time. "Why, do you have any ideas?"

"I can't retreat too quickly!"

Almost at the same moment when the sound of Ling Wei fell, a huge dragon-shaped energy rushed up into the sky from the hole, bringing with it severe wind pressure, and at the same time let out a deafening roar at the three people closest to the hole, and then swooped down towards them.

The three of them moved quickly, and as they were already alert, they all avoided the dragon-shaped energy body, which was the dragon vein's first attack.

But the dragon vein's attack did not stop there. After missing the first strike, it circled up into the air again and roared at the few people angrily.

But compared to the solemn expressions of Xuxu Yi and Xuxu Yang, as well as the other Xuxu who were rushing towards this side with nervous expressions, Ling's expression was much weirder. After dodging several attacks from Longmai, Ling finally adjusted his position to the side of Xuxu Yi, and whispered before Longmai attacked again, "Yi, do you believe me?"

"There is no doubt about this. Ling is a trustworthy person." Xuanwo Yi still raised his head and stared at Longmai's movements. He was about to dodge the opponent's dive again, but found that he was firmly held by Ling on the shoulder. His emerald eyes suddenly widened, "Ling, what are you doing?!"

"A little crazy idea—" Feeling the wind pressure coming towards him, Ling suppressed his instinct to dodge and stood firmly in place, "Trust me, don't resist."

Xuanwo Yi wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only let the dragon vein open its mouth and bite the two of them under the shocked and angry gazes of his tribesmen.
