Chapter 383 Chongwu
Is this an unexpected surprise?
The chakra fluctuations coming from the cave were not dead objects, but people.
The feeling of that chakra was very abnormal, obviously different.
The two walked side by side to the entrance of the cave and looked into the depths of the cave. It was dark and quiet. The closer they got, the more obvious the feeling of chakra became.
The light source was partially blocked by the bodies of Ye Zi and Orochimaru, but the rest still squeezed into the hole tenaciously.
With the faint light source, you can see that the cave is supported by various strange-shaped stone pillars. Most of the stone pillars look like apples that have been bitten until a thin core is left.
At this moment, a low roar came from the darkness of the cave, which sounded a bit like the suppressed roar of a wild beast.
Just from this low and unknown roar, you can hear the piercing killing intent. It seems to be spread unconsciously and without any specific target.
Ye Zi and Orochimaru looked at each other and strode into the cave.
It seemed that an unknown person heard the movement and roared, and the killing intent contained in the voice began to become more targeted.
The two of them had just walked a certain distance, and it was also a place where the light source could not reach, making the light dim and only vaguely visible.
At this time, a figure sprang out from the darkness, heading towards Ye Zi and Orochimaru with piercing murderous intent.
Ye Zi was closer and unfortunately became the primary target of attack.
The dim light could only vaguely see the outline of the figure, and the black shadow flew towards Ye Zi.
Ye Zi stretched out his hand, and several wooden pillars sprang out from his palm, easily binding the black shadow and imprisoning him in mid-air.
"Roar!" The black shadow struggled suddenly, and in the darkness, a yellow eye full of violence and murderous intent was faintly revealed.
In front of Mu Dun's restraint, Black Shadow's struggle was meaningless, but he still struggled tenaciously.
"Go outside," Orochimaru said.
Ye Zi nodded slowly, controlled the struggling shadow, and walked towards the outside of the cave.
After walking out of the cave, Ye Zi and Orochimaru saw the face of the black shadow clearly. It was a boy who was half human and half monster.
The boy has short orange hair, and one side of his face seems to be covered by a gray birthmark. At the same time, his eyes show a very obvious difference.
The eyes on the face covered by the birthmark are pure yellow eyes, while the eyes on the other side look relatively normal. The only thing that is the same is that both eyes are filled with the same emotions.
Full of murderous intent and violent rage.
Just the birthmark and eyes are not enough to conclude that he is half human and half monster.
The boy's right hand was completely gray, and was twice as thick as a normal arm. There were stone-like spikes on the arm stacked toward the palm, and the knuckles on the palm were thick and covered with sharp and long nails.
This is the reason why the boy is considered a monster. The arm is not a normal human arm.
Not only that, the normal other side of the body showed black marks all over the irregular side, mainly on the arms and thighs.
"Haha, I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Being tightly restrained by Mu Dun, the boy's body struggled violently, but unfortunately there was no success.
His eyes filled with murderous intent stared at Ye Zi, as if he wanted to tear Ye Zi into pieces.
With this monster under control in front of him, the feeling of unknown energy was even more obvious at such a close distance.
Orochimaru looked at the black mark on the boy's body, his eyes flashing.
"What's your name?" He looked at the boy, trying to communicate.
"Hahaha, I must kill you, kill you, kill you!" Orochimaru's response was the boy's meaningless shout.
"Have you lost your mind?" Ye Zi frowned slightly and strengthened the binding force of the wooden pillar.
"Control your strength and don't hurt him." Orochimaru reminded.
Ye Zi said nothing.
As the binding force of the wooden pillar became stronger and stronger, the boy's voice suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened to make a dull hum.
Ye Zi's eyes were slightly cold, and the sound of the wooden pillar and the boy's body squeezing became louder and louder.
As the squeezing force became stronger and stronger, the boy's eyes suddenly rolled and he fainted.
Seeing this, Ye Zi stopped and untied the wooden pillar at the same time.
The wooden pillar returned to the palm, and the boy fell from the air to the ground, kicking up a plume of dust.
The monster-like arm degenerated into a normal human arm at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black mark on the body shrank and faded like a tide until it disappeared.
Watching this scene, Orochimaru's interest was completely aroused. In just this moment, he realized that this boy was of great research value.
"I picked up something good." Orochimaru smiled coldly.
"No more." Ye Zi looked at the unconscious boy lying on the ground, his eyes changed slightly, and said, "That feeling..."
When the boy returned to his normal human appearance, the feeling consistent with the unknown energy fluctuations emanating from the ruins also disappeared.
Hearing what Ye Zi said, Orochimaru also noticed this and couldn't help but be startled.
"It seems that the seemingly identical unknown energy will cause such changes in the body, and may also affect the sanity." Orochimaru's eyes showed contemplation, and at the same time he also had a guess that might disappoint him.
Could it be that this boy was just affected by unknown energy? It is very possible that there is unknown energy in the cave, and this boy was just unlucky to encounter it.
If this is the case, then the boy has no research value.
However, when he was in the Aoki Forest, Ye Zi's wooden clone did not undergo such a change. Instead, it turned into wood silently, without even feedback memory.
Is it because of the difference between the human body and the clone?
What Orochimaru could think of, Ye Zi also thought of it and said, "I'll go take a look in the cave."
Orochimaru nodded and said nothing. If his guess came true, his joy would be in vain.
Because next, Orochimaru will also try to use human bodies for experiments. The likely result will be the boy he just saw.
Ye Zi went for a walk in the cave and found no energy fluctuations. Then he came out and told Orochimaru about his discovery.
"Bring him back to the stronghold first." Orochimaru thought for a moment and said.
"I hope I can get useful information." Ye Zi said lightly.
Orochimaru glanced at the boy lying on the ground and said nothing. He picked up the boy and left with Ye Zi, looking in the direction of the Kingdom of Stone.
After walking for about an hour, Orochimaru felt that the boy's consciousness was awakening, so he dropped him on the ground.
Although Ye Zi didn't feel the unknown energy fluctuations, he was still ready to restrain the boy again.
The boy made a low sound and woke up leisurely.
He slowly opened his eyes and quickly climbed up from the ground. He timidly looked at Ye Zi and Orochimaru, his eyes resting on Ye Zi.
"Fortunately, you controlled me." The boy's tone seemed to contain emotions of both happiness and fear.
The boy's behavior at this time can be said to be polar opposites from his previous violent appearance.
Judging from his words, it shows that he now has the memories of when he lost his mind.
What is going on?
Ye Zi and Orochimaru didn't know why.
"What's your name?" Ye Zi looked at the timid boy and wanted to ask him something.
"Junggo." The boy whispered back.
"Chongwu..." Ye Zi repeated it once, glanced at Orochimaru, and then looked away.
"Can you tell me what happened to you?" he asked.
