Chapter 172 Encounter with wolves

However, the deer did not panic. It jumped lightly and avoided the attack of the snakes. In mid-air, the spiritual light on the deer's body flickered, as if showing its strength. The snakes missed the first attack and became even more angry. It twisted its body and prepared to attack again.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly shouted, "Man Snake, stop!" He knew that in this Medicine King Valley, attacking unknown beings at will might bring unexpected consequences. Although Man Snake was reluctant, he had no choice but to stop the attack under Naruto's order.

Orochimaru and the other two looked at Naruto, their hearts filled with confusion.

Naruto looked at the expressions of Orochimaru and Kabuto and shook his head helplessly. After all, Orochimaru and Kabuto had practiced for too short a time, and they were not familiar with the perception of spiritual energy, so naturally they could not know Xiaolu's realm.

Naruto then explained, "This little deer has reached the middle stage of Qi training, at least the fifth level. With your current strength, it's easy for you to be defeated by it." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression becoming more solemn. He knew very well that in this mysterious Medicine King Valley, any unknown existence could bring great danger, but he didn't expect that a little deer could have such strength.

Although Wanshe was somewhat unconvinced, it did not dare to act rashly. It could feel the seriousness in Naruto's words.

The little deer seemed to have sensed the tension of the crowd. It stood there quietly, looking at them with its lively eyes, as if waiting for something. Naruto took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's not provoke it easily. Let's see what it will do next."

Everyone was on edge, their eyes fixed on the deer. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air was filled with tension. Not long after, the deer saw that the snakes had stopped attacking, so it shook its tail and ran away. Its movements were light and graceful, like a flash of white lightning that instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension brought by the mysterious deer just now eased a little. Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, and the perception of the natural spirit body was activated. Almost the entire Medicine King Valley was covered by Naruto's perception.

At that moment, Naruto seemed to merge with the entire Medicine King Valley. Every blade of grass and every breath around him appeared clearly in his mind. However, just a moment later, Naruto's face changed drastically. That was because he sensed hundreds of powerful auras, which were like surging waves, causing him to feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

Orochimaru and the others noticed Naruto's abnormality and cast concerned glances at him. "What's wrong, Naruto?" Orochimaru asked. Naruto looked solemn and said slowly, "I sensed hundreds of powerful auras, dozens of which are stronger than me. This Medicine King Valley is more dangerous than we thought." Everyone's hearts sank when they heard this. They knew that in this strange place, so many powerful auras meant that they could be in desperate situations at any time.

Orochimaru looked at Naruto with a complicated look in his eyes. Although he knew that Naruto was very strong, he did not expect that Naruto's perception was even stronger. In this mysterious Medicine King Valley, Naruto's perception seemed to have opened a window for them to peek into danger.

Orochimaru frowned slightly, thinking about his next move in his heart. He knew that with Naruto's powerful perception ability, they might be able to better deal with the upcoming danger. However, the hundreds of powerful auras also made him feel uneasy. He didn't know how many unknown powerful beings were hidden in this Medicine King Valley.

"Naruto, can you determine the exact location and strength of those auras?" Orochimaru asked. Naruto shook his head and said solemnly, "Those auras are very chaotic. I can only roughly sense their existence, but I can't determine their exact location and strength. In the moment I sensed just now, dozens of figures discovered me. However, I sensed a building complex ten kilometers away. If I'm right, that should be the Medicine King Palace."

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he fell into deep thought. Sasuke frowned and said, "Ten kilometers is not far, but it is not close. But the road is definitely full of dangers, and we must be careful." Kabuto pushed his glasses and analyzed, "Since there are buildings, it is very likely our target, the Medicine King Palace. But those powerful auras are worrying, and we need to make a careful plan." Kimimaro remained silent, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

Naruto took a deep breath and said, "We can't move forward rashly. We must try to avoid areas with strong auras. I will continue to sense the surrounding situation and guide you." Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that in this mysterious Medicine King Valley, every decision was crucial. So, under the leadership of Naruto, they carefully moved towards the building complex ten kilometers away.

But the journey was not so smooth. When Naruto passed through a forest, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. Naruto immediately stopped everyone because he could sense that dozens of creatures were gradually approaching them.

Orochimaru and the others instantly became alert and prepared for battle.

Naruto's face was solemn. He could feel that these creatures were emitting a powerful aura and were definitely not easy to deal with. "Everyone be careful, these creatures are very powerful, we can't take it lightly." Naruto whispered. Everyone nodded and waited nervously for the creatures to appear.

More than ten minutes later, a group of giant wolves appeared in front of them. The moment they appeared, Naruto felt his scalp tingling. The leader was a wolf king in the Chengdan realm, with an upright posture and a majestic and cold look in his eyes. Behind the wolf king followed two giant wolves in the Condensation Qi realm, with a strong body and a strong aura. Then came more than ten giant wolves in the Qi training realm, with fierce eyes, ready to go. The remaining forty or so were in the Naqi realm. Although they were slightly weaker, their large number also brought great pressure to people.

Naruto then told Orochimaru and the others around him the information he had obtained. You know, a giant wolf in the Qi Training Stage is already about as powerful as a Kage, not to mention the wolf king and the other two giant wolves in the Qi Condensation Stage.

Orochimaru's expression became more and more solemn. He knew very well how difficult this battle would be. A giant wolf with Kage-level strength was already difficult to deal with, not to mention the even more powerful Wolf King and Condensed Energy Realm giant wolf. Sasuke's eyes flashed with determination. He held the kunai tightly, ready for this fierce battle. Kabuto quickly analyzed the situation, trying to find a place to take advantage. Kimimaro remained silent, but his aura had already shown his determination.
