"What should we do?"
The few enormous white snakes tightly encircled Aoi, with the smallest one glaring at him eagerly, saliva nearly dripping down: "Can we eat him?"
"No!"
The largest white snake gave a firm denial, picking up the piece of white snake molt and shaking its head: "This is the ancestor's skin, it carries his scent."
"But according to the rules, only those who pass the three trials can meet the ancestor face to face!"
The middle white snake also voiced a different opinion: "We can't break the rules set by the ancestor!"
Hearing this, the biggest white snake suddenly slammed its tail: "If we can't eat him, and we can't send him directly in, then let him go through the trials!"
Aoi had almost no choice, but this was already the best outcome...
Aoi was sent into the first trial!
"Welcome to the Ryūchi Cave!"
The beautiful songstress nodded and smiled at Aoi. The bright, luxurious hall was filled with delicious foods, and the tempting aroma made people reluctant to leave.
Faced with such a feast, those exhausted from their long journey would almost instinctively indulge...
"But if so, it's exactly what the White Snake wanted!"
Aoi disdainfully snorted, knocking all the delicacies to the ground: "I don't eat!"
With that, the illusion in front of him instantly shattered. The bright palace and delicious delicacies disappeared; the once sweet and charming songstress transformed into a terrifying half-human, half-snake creature.
This songstress was none other than Ichikishimahime, a high-level figure of the Ryūchi Cave!
"Why are you so indifferent to my food?" Ichikishimahime grinned widely, her terrifying snake teeth floating above Aoi's head, as if she could bite down at any moment...
"Because I'm happy!"
Aoi disdainfully snorted. Although these white snakes were powerful, as a high-level figure of the Ryūchi Cave, he had no chance of successfully forming a blood contract with them.
Since that's the case, he didn't need to leave her any face...
"Ugh, I'm so angry!"
Ichikishimahime clenched her fists, wishing she could swallow Aoi whole. But limited by the rules, she could only watch as Aoi moved on to the next trial.
"Don't worry, sister. He probably can't tell that it's an illusion. Maybe he's not hungry, so he doesn't eat your transformed food."
The loli-like Ichikishimahime stuck out her long snake tongue: "When he gets to my trial, he definitely won't be able to crack the secret! Let me eat him and avenge you, sister."
With Ichikishimahime's abilities, Aoi truly couldn't tell it was an illusion. But that couldn't stop him—I've watched Boruto...
The second trial was a huge stone that couldn't be moved by human strength. But there were many holes in the stone, and many gemstones scattered around it...
"Puzzle game!"
Aoi grinned painfully, despite noticing from Boruto that this trial was pretty brainless, it was still too brainless...
"There are countless gemstones here. You need to find the right one among them."
Ichikishimahime floated nearby, smiling and sticking out her snake tongue: "When you're exhausted, I'll eat you!"
Unfortunately, Aoi didn't bother to search for the right gemstone; he simply grabbed one, broke it apart with his hand, and inserted the shape into the hole...
One minute later, the huge mechanism stone rose up!
"How is this possible...?"
Ichikishimahime's mouth opened wide in shock: "Why didn't you look for the right gemstone?"
Hearing this, Aoi stopped and looked at Ichikishimahime with a strange expression, nodding slowly: "Because, I'm not stupid!"
...
After a long silence, until Aoi walked away, Ichikishimahime suddenly snapped out of her daze: "Is he saying I'm stupid?"
Damn it!!!
