Chapter 413: Chapter 371 Survivor
Thump, thump, thump~
Several figures consecutively plunged into the water.
As ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, they easily neutralized the impact of such a high fall into the water.
Behind them, the waterfall-like streams burst forth with a roar that never ceased, lifting water spray that maintained a long-lasting rainbow.
The surface of the water also churned with waves due to the rush of the waterfall.
However, this had no effect on the few standing on the surface of the water.
âŚ
From the previous perspective to after coming to the surface of the water, those scattered âislandsâ gave off a different feel with mostly towering cliffs and connected rocks, adding a sense of oppression.
âEveryone, be careful, I feel many life fluctuations nearby, and thereâs hostility too,â
One of the perceptive Chunin quickly opened his mouth to warn.
But without him saying it, Tao Yu, under the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, also felt the hostility tinged with brutality and a desire to kill.
Insects, in the waterâŚ
Whoosh~
A unique giant insect resembling the AhnâQiraj insect race, leapt out of the water, opening its mandibles wide.

With a size of five to six meters, it could be considered a behemoth, causing a great disturbance as it broke through the waterâs surface.
However, compared to the giant sharks and monsters they had seen before, it was not much to look at.
Lacking any special abilities or Alien acid blood, and while stronger and larger in size, it had barely surfaced when Kisame sliced off its upper jaw with a giant Fuuma shuriken.
Then, without pausing, he struck its body, severing it into several pieces with just three slices, as insect blood and limbs splattered.
âItâs nothing compared to deep-sea monsters, but killing something this size does take some effort. If there are many of them, it could be troublesome.â
Kisame, although he dispatched the insect with ease, still indicated that it took some effort to kill these insects.
Ninjas arenât known for endurance in battle; a few are manageable, but a large number can be problematic.
As the insect was dismembered, its green blood diffused into the water.
âThere are plenty of them, letâs go, we donât want to get surrounded.â
Tao Yu sensed the movement of those insects at the bottom of the lake and pointed towards the direction of the World of Avatar.
âLetâs head over there, if not, just go straight in. The Rainforest World 02 is quite special, the worldâs will has forcibly shut off communication with other worlds, normal creatures canât pass through, and shuttling through will be a bit of trouble, but I can take you all there,â
Tao Yu spoke at an even pace.
Although theoretically, if a swarm of insects emerged in this world, there was a risk that their team might be annihilated.
But they were not foolish enough to stand in place, having determined that the World of Avatar was not far, they just hurried towards it.
Soon after, they all ran across the water surface towards the front.
Tao Yu didnât forget to use the Great Shift of Qiankun to gather the insect corpses filled with Yuan Force and take them over.
Forty points of Yuan Force, which for the chaff-level rank of the insect sea, was rather decent, and the reproductive ability of the insects was undoubtedly good. However, it was a pity that the insects were large in size and took up too much space, not as convenient as the Aliens.
âThere are fragments of skill information, it should be an enhancement of âbiting force,â or it could be a special skill technique that increases the âtwisting strengthâ of areas like the tigerâs mouth, elbows, underarms. Thereâs no particular change to the body though,â
One of the insects didnât have a complete skill, but Tao Yu was able to retrieve part of the information and confirm the general direction.
It held some value, but not much, good for a casual Deification.
After all, it wouldnât change the body much, nor cause any conflicts.
Roar~
A water dragon rose from the water surface and dashed straight toward another insect that emerged from the water, smashing it into a pulp, then the dragon wound itself around the group.
Then came the second and the third!
Tao Yu, while swallowing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, maintained an appropriate attack frequency.
But to avoid stopping and wasting time resulting in a close encirclement, Tao Yu didnât wait to gather and collect things on the move; a few dozen points of Yuan Force werenât worth the risk of waiting.
Apart from him, Kisame, Hikariya Yo, and the other Chunin never ceased their attacks!
Dealing with dozens of meters of deep-sea behemoths would be troublesome, but the five to six-meter insects were all within a suitable hunting range.
Since the Ninja World also had many large-sized wild beasts.
Although these insects were relatively smaller than other creatures and humans, they still required more physical strength.
But having confirmed the approximate distance to their upcoming destination, they also knew how to balance their use of Chakra and physical strength.
Apart from Kisame making Hand Seals to create two water sharks underwater to assist in blocking,
One could see that after leaving the scope of the Land of Water, the other ninjas hardly used Ninjutsu and relied on blades and close-quarter kills.
The ninjaâs professional training was fully demonstrated, and just by the few intermittent blocks and kills along the way, they quickly found the insectsâ weak spots.
It was essentially the central nervous system where the mouthparts joined; the efficiency of their kills greatly improved.
âThis kind of proficiency really only comes after a Pioneer has gone through life and death situations, If it werenât for Unity of Heaven and Man and Yi Sword Technique, I definitely wouldnât be able to find it so quickly relying on experience alone.â
Tao Yu observed the ninjasâ combat methods and their intelligence gathering capabilities.
The seemingly careless shurikens thrown at the beginning were not a waste at all but a testing measure for probing.
The ninjasâ professional training had turned these actions into instinct.
The casually thrown shurikens, the different impacts they made, were quickly analyzed by them to find the best killing techniques, and they were constantly adjusting. Each kill seemed to be optimized.
Time-saving and effective!
These were difficult for Pioneers to catch up with through crash courses; only those veteran Pioneers who regularly opened up new lands and went through life-or-death situations could possibly have similar experience and techniques.
And ahead was a highland connected to the back with Pandora World, standing amidst this lake, the sheer cliffs turned the entire highland into a natural stronghold.
âThose insectsâ weight should prevent them from climbing up easily, so we should be fine once we get up there.â
Tao Yu casually said, with some effort perhaps these insects could use their sharp claws to climb the cliffs, but their weight was a hindrance, making them less capable of climbing than the Aliens.
After getting up there, the pressure of numbers they faced would drastically decrease, and so the threat from these insects would not be significant.
Casually summoning a water dragon to shatter another insect, Tao Yu prepared to pick up the pace, but at that moment, a ninja controlling a Summoning Beast spoke,
âMy seagull saw people on the highland ahead. They might be holding guns like Mr. Tao mentioned. We donât know their power, so everyone be careful.â
âPeople?â
Tao Yu was somewhat surprised. People on that highland?
âThereâs something smoking over there, and lots of bodies, with only about three living people who can move, covered in bloodstains. Our movements here must have caught their attention; theyâre heading towards the edge, not very fast, at the level of ordinary humans.â
Having an aerial view is convenient, as it quickly revealed the situation on the other side.
âOkay, got it. Three individuals shouldnât be a problem, after all, nuclear weapons are restricted.â
Tao Yu looked up and could already see three figures at the edge of the highland wearing combat suits and helmets, drenched in blood.
Each was holding a gun with a sci-fi feel, one of them limping, clearly having gone through some ordeal.
And when they saw the commotion unfolding before them, they seemed quite shocked.
Watching the water dragon roar past, smashing an insect to pieces and splattering green blood, they couldnât help but exclaim in shock.
Moreover, the manner in which the other ninjas were killing the insects, almost in hand-to-hand combat, stunned them with its speed and power.
With all this going on, running on the waterâs surface didnât seem all that strange.
Tao Yu also vaguely made out that they were speaking in English.
From their equipment, helmets, and firearms, they did seem to be human infantry from the Starship Troopers.
Perhaps, a crashed lander? Three survivors?
To prevent them from shooting and causing an unnecessary death, Tao Yu used a sound technique to declare in English,
âWe mean no harm, just coming up to deal with the insects.â
Hearing Tao Yuâs English, although the three men were still shocked by Tao Yu and his party, they kept waving and shouting loudly,
âCome from the direction weâre pointing! There are mines here.â
Lucky I called out, otherwise I might have missed the subtle sense of danger from the minefield. It seems these guys are quite cautious, probably as a defense against the insects.â
Then Tao Yu led two groups of ninjas from the direction they pointed out, bypassing the minefield and directly running up the cliff face.
After Tao Yu and his group charged onto the highland, although there were still insects lurking and observing from under the water, none continued their suicidal climb up the highland; it seemed to become calm all at once.
The insects had also come to understand Tao Yu and his companyâs strength through the attacks and probes along the way.
Theyâre not Aliens who crave powerful individuals; these insects chose not to waste their lives unnecessarily.
And Tao Yu and his groupâs ability to move effortlessly upon the wall certainly astonished those locals who had never seen such feats, leaving them awestruck.
âThatâs incredible, what is this?â
âAre you guys human?â
âYouâre not from this world, are you?â
Next to them was the World of Avatar, with waterfalls cascading down continuously, and on the neighboring cliff, there was an extremely cold frozen zone. Even the most ordinary grunts must have realized that a change had occurred, and that there were other worlds.
This location could be said to be on the brink of four different worlds.
After climbing up, Tao Yu did indeed find a crashed lander ahead, which seemed to have lost control after colliding with the world barrier.
The world barrier wasnât rigid; a soft collision gave the lander a chance to make an emergency landing, resulting in the scene before him with three survivors, which wasnât too surprising.
Actually, if they had flown in another direction, they would likely have been fine; choosing Pandora World was just bad luck.
Itâs just unclear whether these humans have their own base here.
After checking the insects again and sensing no danger through his Perception, Tao Yu turned to the three people and inquired,
âDo you have a base here? How long since the world fellâŚâ
