Chapter 137: Two Garaga
Although the worlds were different, the nature of chakra had not changed. As soon as Manda returned to Ryūchi Cave, he couldn't help but freeze in confusion. "What's going on here? It definitely didn't look like this ten minutes ago!"
"This is no longer the Ryūchi Cave you once knew. And as for the White Snake Sage, she's naturally not the one you remember either!"
As for the new White Snake Sage…
"Heh heh～ How long has it been since anyone last came here?"
The White Snake Sage bit down on Li Jiexuan and poured a massive amount of natural energy into him. However, already completely at ease with it, Li Jiexuan didn't even furrow his brow, and instead successfully reversed the flow, draining the White Snake Sage until she was shriveled like dried snake skin…
The silver scales of his Flood Dragon Sage Mode became even more lustrous!
"Tell me—how do I find Orochimaru?"
With a face full of fear, the White Snake Sage muttered, "You must find Manda. He is Orochimaru's summoned beast. Only he can lead you to Orochimaru!"
"Manda, huh?"
Within Ryūchi Cave, aside from the White Snake Sage, Garaga, and the White Snake Trio—the five high-ranking serpents—the rest were merely ordinary summoned snakes. And Manda was the first-generation leader of those summoned snakes. It could be said that he stood below the Five Serpents, yet above all other snakes—a noble existence!
No wonder Orochimaru had to pay the price of one hundred living humans every time he summoned Manda!
But…
"Boss?" The usually arrogant, domineering Manda immediately bowed and scraped like a chick upon seeing Garaga. "What brings you here today?"
"Hm!?"
Garaga frowned. "You're not welcoming me?"
Manda quickly shook his head and apologized. "Absolutely not. Boss can stay as long as you like—you're always welcome."
"Hmph. Then I'll let you off this time!"
Garaga lightly shook his head and spared Manda…
Yet precisely because of that, Manda grew suspicious.
"Boss wouldn't be this easy to talk to. At a time like this, he wouldn't rest until he snapped my tail in half!" Manda quietly gestured to one of his subordinates. "Go down below and check if Lord Garaga is at home!"
After giving the order, Manda sensibly turned back around. "By the way, Lord, is there anything I can help you with?"
"We're looking for Orochimaru—the ninja who signed a contract with you." Li Jiexuan narrowed his eyes. "You should be able to find him, right?"
Manda nodded. "I can, sure. But why should I?"
"Nani!" Garaga shot to his feet in fury. "Are you asking to die, brat?"
"Drop the act—you fake Garaga!"
With a savage grin, Manda stepped aside, and a massive red serpent leapt out, roaring violently. "Who is it?! Who dares impersonate Lord Garaga?!"
That bastard Manda had actually brought the Garaga from this world over…
For a moment, Garaga and this world Garaga stared at each other, both stunned!
"Roar! What kind of sorcery did you use, you stupid snake?!"
Garaga roared as he sprayed venom in all directions, trying to petrify the other Garaga. Seeing this, Garaga decisively summoned lightning and blasted himself into charcoal…
A ruthless snake—he'd even kill himself!
Now that one of the two Garaga was dead, whether the other was real or fake no longer mattered…
Looking at Garaga's corpse, Manda trembled as he contacted Orochimaru: Orochimaru, I'm being blocked at my home turf. They're calling you out by name—come cover me, quick!
Orochimaru replied: Didn't you brag that on your home turf, you're the top dog?
Manda replied pitifully: When no one else carries the stick, I do. When someone else carries it, I carry the people…
Though disdainful, he still came in the end—it was his favorite summoned beast after all.
Orochimaru arrived.
