Chapter 240 On the Road
Chapter 240 On the Road
At this moment, Bai came to Qianyao's side: "Lord Qianyao, shall we hunt some animals back?"
Chiyo glanced at Karin, who had already opened her magic bag and spread it out on the ground.
He chuckled softly, "Never mind, let's help Karin eat her snacks first, so as not to waste food."
Bai followed the gaze and couldn't help but smile.
Karin was spreading the grilled rice cakes in her hands, still chewing them:
"Gaara, Kimimaro, come and have a piece. Even though it's cold, I've found that the rice cakes that have formed a crust after they've cooled down taste even better."
Gaara and Kimimaro looked at the grilled mochi that had been forced into their hands with some surprise.
What kind of things did this incense stick bring?
Karin was still there distributing dorayaki, taiyaki, tricolor takoyaki, candied hawthorn, takoyaki, beef jerky, potato chips, soft drinks...
They looked to Qianyao for help.
Qianyao said helplessly, "Eat it all."
After Chiyo spoke, everyone sat down on the cloth that Karin had laid out.
We embarked on our first outdoor meal, which was almost like a picnic.
With all six of them eating together, half of the food on Karin's back was quickly devoured.
"Eat up, everyone! There's still plenty left... Ouch!"
Chiyo reached out and gave Karin a sharp rap on the head.
“You bought so many yourself, now you can’t carry them all, and you need everyone’s help to solve the problem.”
Karin rubbed her head and said with a wronged expression:
"I was just craving something sweet, so I bought too much. Besides, I didn't cause any trouble for anyone."
Karin must have had a tough time in Kusagakure back then, because now she flaunts any money she has.
However, Karin has a vortex-like constitution, so no matter how much she eats, she doesn't gain weight.
Compared to Yakumo Kurama's frail appearance, Karin was full of vigor and vitality; just looking at her gave one a sense of boundless life force.
Chiyo has always been quite fond of Karin, so he's not really angry right now.
"If you bring this much next time, we won't eat it for you."
"Pack your things, rest for a bit, and then we'll set off."
He said something to Karin in a light tone, then told everyone to clean up.
Everyone ate until they were about 70-80% full, as eating too much would affect digestion and make it harder to continue the journey.
Karin chuckled, then quickly bent down and started tidying up.
Looking at all the snacks I brought, I'll decide which ones I won't bring next time.
Bringing half less should make it easier to carry, right? Hmm.
Karin was making plans quietly.
……
While Qianyao's main body was on its way.
Orochimaru, along with Chiyo's clone, headed towards the Land of Rivers.
He was incredibly fast, constantly darting back and forth through the forest.
However, it seems Orochimaru is also in a great hurry, constantly increasing his speed.
"According to the previous plan, once we obtained the Water of Life, Nagato's body should be fine, right?"
Senyo's clone, hidden in Orochimaru's shadow, could be easily caught using Shadow Escape Technique.
He spoke to Orochimaru in a leisurely manner.
Despite his incredible speed, Orochimaru remained calm and composed, saying, "Don't even mention it's just a depletion of some life force."
"Even if Nagato is cut into several pieces, he can be saved if used in time."
"Now that we have the most important thing, which topic do you plan to start with?"
Qianyao asked, "Without the Water of Life, there is no vast life energy."
Orochimaru's experiments were very costly, and some of them could not even be carried out.
With the Water of Life, Orochimaru's experimental speed will increase dramatically.
"Heh, of course it's the power of all things in the universe and the legendary Rinnegan."
"I'd like to see if your theory can actually support my creation of the Rinnegan."
Qian Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
"Now that we've got the items, let's notify Nagato and the others. It's time to put his Rinnegan to use."
Orochimaru replied indifferently:
"Even if he has enough vitality, his eye power will definitely diminish. You should think about who to resurrect first."
"Don't worry, I've already thought it through."
……
Time flew by and it was evening.
Qianyao led a group of elite students to set up accommodations outside.
He stood to the side watching Kimimaro and Haku lead them to choose a location.
Ziyuan took out her small box from the backpack behind her.
That is, the one that Qianyao finally got back then.
This is a spatial artifact powered by magical energy, much like a storage scroll.
Ziyuan took out the tent she had prepared, as well as other corresponding outdoor items, from her spatial storage.
Kimimaro on this side also carried a tent on his back.
While Shion and the others were halfway through setting up their structure, Kimimaro and Gaara had already finished.
In reality, even though Kimimaro was older, he wouldn't have been able to build it so quickly.
Gaara's sand played a major role.
Sand can quickly set up a tent, and reinforcing it with ground stakes is a piece of cake.
After Gaara finished setting up his side, he went over to help the girls set up their tents.
The Land of Fire is rich in resources, and its various ferocious beasts are also in PULS form.
In the wild, you might even encounter wild beasts that are qualified to become spirit beasts.
Once the tents are set up, the next step is to consider the issues of warning and night watch.
"Karin, Yakumo, Shion, it's your turn to get to work!"
"Don't worry, Master! Watch us!"
When it came to something she was good at, Karin instantly gained confidence.
She discussed it with Yakumo and Shion, and then each of them took out what they needed to cast the spell.
Karin took out several array flags, while Shion took out several bells strung with thread.
Yakumo then opened her oil painting book.
Karin and Shion formed hand seals and arranged all the array flags and magical artifacts around the camp.
Two colored halos immediately rose up inside the camp and then fell to the ground.
These two formations combine warning and defensive counterattack capabilities.
Qianyao noticed that when Ziyuan used her magic, the bells on her body would suppress most of her abilities.
However, even a small portion of the magical power flowing out is more than enough to form a protective barrier.
The potential of Aster is actually terrifying.
No wonder Maitreya would specifically use a magical artifact to suppress Ziyuan's witchcraft.
On the other side, Yakumo quickly sketched their campsite in his sketchbook.
With just a few strokes, the entire site was drawn.
However, there are no people depicted; only tents and a campfire are shown.
Afterwards, Yakumo drew a semi-transparent dome and placed it over the camp.
Chiyo sensed an unfamiliar power that continuously seeped into the sky as Yakumo was painting.
Yakumo's current illusions cannot directly alter reality.
However, it can be used to set up warning zones, and Yakumo's Ido can traverse within these zones.
It can quickly warn of the enemy upon discovery.
"It's done, Master! Now we don't need anyone to keep watch tonight."
After Karin finished doing all this, she happily ran to Chiyo to ask for credit.
With triple warning signals, there's definitely no need for anyone to keep watch at night.
Qianyao inspected the area for a moment, then nodded: "You three did a good job."
Karin and the other two were all beaming with joy at the praise.
Although Karin usually likes to play around, she is, after all, a member of the Uzumaki clan, and she has already become quite proficient in sealing techniques.
Shion is equally outstanding thanks to her mother's daily guidance, while Yakumo is simply exceptionally talented.
These three girls all have a good relationship with Qianyao.
As long as these three become stronger in the future, they can unlock more bond levels.
Qianyao can also get more freebies.
