Orochimaru: Manda is about to transform into a dragon? This is an excellent meat shield!

Chapter 357 Orochimaru: Manda is about to 'transform into a dragon'? This is an excellent meat shield!

Orochimaru quickly calmed down.

The Pure Land split plan is indeed good, but there is an unavoidable stumbling block—the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths would definitely stop Orochimaru, since Orochimaru's actions were tantamount to digging up his grave!

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Orochimaru was truly unsure of himself in the face of a senior figure who had already embarked on the path to immortality.

A thousand years of accumulation is enough for a newborn snake to grow into the White Snake Immortal!

The two sides are not even on the same level in terms of resources. Orochimaru's only advantage is that the enemy is in the open while he is in the dark.

"Therefore, I must choose a suitable time to make my move, preferably catching the Sage of Six Paths off guard and gaining the upper hand. As long as I can integrate the fragments of the Pure Land into the Soul: Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, I will have won."

Orochimaru's eyes twitched, as if he had heard something interesting. "Go on."

Reading at %! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】

When Orochimaru mentioned "playing games," his tone became a bit harsher, as the games played by the Snake Princesses had caused him quite a bit of trouble.

"Does Manda mean that when it transforms into a dragon, the Sage of Six Paths will definitely appear to stop it?"

The notion of being disobedient, cunning, or harboring ulterior motives is completely unfounded.

However, the soul energy that the Dead Soul Insects have brought out from the Pure Land is enough for Orochimaru to evolve again and again. The so-called Snake Princess can no longer cause him any trouble; only Manda, who has become the White Snake Sage, makes him slightly wary.

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly. In the past, he could only go along with these two snake princesses. Although neither of them was particularly clever, and Orochimaru always managed to get what he wanted, it couldn't hide the fact that he was the weaker party.

Orochimaru nodded knowingly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. Having also sought to break through the limits of life, Orochimaru was acutely aware of the immense difficulties involved.

He's practically an excellent meat shield!

Just as Orochimaru was pondering, a hiss of a snake echoed from the shadows of the Root laboratory, as if it had sensed the arrival of an enemy.

If the myriad snakes encounter the Six Paths Sage during their 'dragon transformation' process, wouldn't that indicate that the Pure Land is empty inside?

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsurugi emerged from their stealth state and glanced involuntarily at the python in the shadows, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Wan She is quite lucky, as she directly inherited the foundation that the White Snake Immortal had accumulated over a thousand years for the purpose of 'transforming into a dragon'."

This is unbelievable! But they soon had no time to marvel, as an immense pressure emanated from Orochimaru, as if venting his dissatisfaction upon them.

"'Transformation into a Dragon'? 'Dragon Cave'? I see."

Orochimaru spoke very decisively, as if he and Manda were the epitome of ninjas and summoned beasts.

However, the next moment, the hissing of the pythons disappeared, and the Root Laboratory fell silent once again.

"The White Snake Immortal's ambition is truly lofty. He probably thought about 'transforming into a dragon' when he built the 'Dragon Cave', didn't he? It's true that living a long life has its advantages."

Orochimaru said with some emotion, then changed the subject: "However, it seems I can't help Manda with the 'Dragon Transformation,' can I?" Tsurugi nodded and said to Orochimaru, "The White Snake Sage is confident he can successfully 'transform into a dragon,' but during this process, the legendary Sage of Six Paths will appear to stop him."

After Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsurugi left, Orochimaru burst into loud laughter without any attempt to hide it.

Princess Ichikishima, with a somewhat strong exterior but weak interior, directly brought up the White Snake Sage in an attempt to intimidate Orochimaru.

"After all, we fought side by side, we were 'comrades-in-arms' who entrusted each other with life and death, and we have a deep bond!"

So he quickly said, "The White Snake Immortal wants to gather the natural energy of the entire world to undergo 'Dragon Transformation'!"

But just then, the ten thousand snakes came knocking!

"Alright! Go back and tell Manda that I will definitely delay the Sage of Six Paths to buy it enough time to 'transform into a dragon'!"

When Orochimaru met Manda, who had just become the White Snake Sage, not long ago, he sensed that Manda was quite powerful.

"Yes, the White Snake Sage said that the Sage of Six Paths believed that it was too dangerous for natural energy to gather in one life form, making it easy for someone to wipe them all out."

Their invisibility is achieved through natural energy, at a very high level, and few humans in the ninja world can detect them, but now it has been seen through by a python.

After speaking, Princess Ichikishima and Princess Takitsu left immediately. Orochimaru had become a stranger to them, and they instinctively wanted to stay away.

This is unbelievable! It's clearly a person, yet it looks more like a snake than these snakes! "Orochimaru, we've come to find you on the orders of the White Snake Sage!"

Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsurugi exchanged a glance, both seeing hesitation in each other's eyes, somewhat afraid of Orochimaru's retaliation.

"Even if the Sage of Six Paths doesn't stop the White Snake Sage from 'transforming into a dragon,' he will definitely show up and give him some advice."

Orochimaru frowned, his golden vertical pupils fixed on the empty space, and asked, "What brings you two snake princesses to Root?"

"Um……"

"Therefore, for safety reasons, natural energy has always been dispersed in the past."

"The White Snake Sage asked us to tell you this so that you can take some action to delay the Sage of Six Paths as much as possible, and buy the White Snake Sage time to 'transform into a dragon'."

Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsurugi breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Orochimaru's approval. Their mission was complete, and they could return to Shinryuchi Cave.

"No problem, we'll go back and inform the White Snake Sage now. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this news."

"The Sage of Six Paths?"

Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsurugi looked at Orochimaru with solemn expressions, as if they saw the phantom of a white phosphorescent serpent eyeing them, wanting to devour their souls!

Orochimaru was initially somewhat nonchalant, but after hearing what Princess Ichikishima and Princess Tsuruzu said, his eyes lit up and he excitedly licked his lips.

"What's the matter, White Snake Immortal? I'm very busy right now and don't have time to 'play games' with you."

Orochimaru is currently worried about how to deal with the Sage of Six Paths. Even with the Soul Swarm, the Giant God Armor, and the Soul Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, Orochimaru is still uneasy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Orochimaru felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed this opportunity! This was a sure-fire deal! Although the Manda's transformation into a dragon would certainly attract the Sage of Six Paths' intervention, it was insignificant compared to his splitting up of the Pure Land.

The final result will inevitably be that Manda helps him hold off the Sage of Six Paths!

This time, the advantage is in my hands!
