Chapter 1018: The Disaster Giant's Anger and Resolve!
Ryūchi Cave.
This place, a Ninja World Holy Land equally famous as Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest, was like a dark underground temple, revealing strangeness and terror everywhere, sending shivers down one's spine.
But it was indeed a subspace attached to the Ninja World. As for the environment, it entirely depended on the will of its master here, the White Snake Sage.
At this moment, the White Snake Sage, whose true name is Bailin, was coiled on his throne. In front of him hung a large emerald green cat's eye stone. In his mouth, he held a large smoking pipe, letting the smoke curl around him.
At the same time, using his orange-yellow snake eyes, he stared at the golden giant in front of him, who called himself the 'Giant God Soldier' and 'Disaster Giant', silently listening to the other party's long speech.
To be honest, if it were someone else, he would have long been impatient and swallowed them in one gulp.
But he had to attach importance to the warning from that 'old toad' before.
"One, from now on, Ryūchi Cave will be directly subordinate to Sea Ninja Village, must cooperate with Sea Ninja Village's various operations, and will hand over the 'Summoning Scroll' to Sea Ninja Village for safekeeping and use."
"Two, Ryūchi Cave has the responsibilities to cultivate ninja willing to come for Sage Jutsu cultivation, also has the obligations to assist the World Government in Sage Jutsu research, and at the same time, must submit one hundred liters of 'White Snake Venom' to Sea Ninja Village every year."
"Three, Bailin has the obligations to provide 'Eavesdropping Intelligence' help when the World Government needs it, and to take action in combat for the World Government."
After the 'Disaster Giant' Brogy finally finished speaking, Bailin only then spoke unhurriedly.
This 'Eavesdropping Intelligence' requirement was because this 'White Snake Sage', under the enhancement of Sage Jutsu, would have his hearing enhanced to the point of hearing all sounds in the Ninja World.
This ability could be called a miracle even when placed in other worlds.
"'Summoning Scroll' doesn't matter, but you have to ask Orochimaru for it."
He simply didn't care about the life or death of the other snakes in Ryūchi Cave after being summoned, sometimes even swallowing a few as snacks.
"Helping your ninja with Sage Jutsu cultivation is also fine, just don't blame this sage if they die after failing. But requiring this sage to hand over one hundred liters of snake venom every year, isn't that too much? How about fifty liters?"
Brogy, with the golden axe hanging at his waist and the golden shield hanging on his left arm, immediately retorted coldly.
"This is Lord Imu's order! There is no room for negotiation. Whatever it should be, it must be. Not one liter less will do!"
Not far away, Tagorihime, Ichikishimahime, Takirihime, and the other three Ryūchi Cave Elders, all turned pale upon hearing such impolite words.
They knew their sage's temper very well. Something bad was going to happen!
But Bailin's reaction was beyond their expectation.
Hearing Brogy's words, he just puffed on his pipe and sneered, "That's really Haki. Then this sage also has two requirements, one for you, and one for the World Government."
Under the golden helmet, Brogy raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it."
Since it wasn't for Lord Imu, listening was fine.
"First, this sage wants to have a sparring match with you, to see the strength of your 'Giant God Soldier'. Second, this sage requires the World Government to give Ryūchi Cave ten thousand humans every year. There's no choice, we just have a taste for this. For you who rule multiple human worlds, this shouldn't be much difficulty, right?"
After speaking, Bailin exhaled a puff of smoke, waiting for Brogy's answer.
He thought these two requirements were not excessive.
The former was because this 'Disaster Giant' gave him a feeling of a 'kindred spirit', so he wanted to test his limits through combat.
As for the latter, just like he just said, ten thousand humans is nothing to the World Government, right?
Moreover, it's still ten thousand every year!
He mainly wanted to taste what humans from other worlds tasted like.
"Sparring with me?"
Brogy was stunned for a moment, then immediately tilted his head back and laughed heartily, "Isn't it just combat? Alright, then come on!"
As 'Red Ogre', one of the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates back then, he himself was a giant warrior who loved combat very much.
These years, having become a 'Giant God Soldier', he could only exchange blows with other 'Giant God Soldiers' on Noah's Ark to relieve boredom.
At the same time, he enviously looked at the video feed of the World Government's military officers engaged in fierce battle with experts from different worlds.
Now that Bailin actively requested it, it naturally made Brogy very happy.
But after hearing the other party's second requirement, he immediately frowned, and his tone also became unfriendly.
"You eat humans?"
Although he was from the Giant Tribe, not human.
But as a race similarly possessing higher intelligence, coupled with coexisting with humans in the world for so many years.
Eating humans has already become a common taboo among all wisdom races.
This is also why for so many years, the humans, Giant Tribe, and even other races like the Fish-Man Tribe, Longarm Tribe, Snake-Neck Tribe, Tontatta Tribe, etc., in the world,
have always felt aversion towards the Eldians from the Titan World.
Because their Pure Titans after transforming, eat humans!
Even if they don't eat anymore now, they won't eat in the future either.
But the fact that they once ate, and can actually still eat now, is enough to make everyone who knows shudder.
It's imaginable how much discriminatory gaze those Eldians who joined the World Government for military service would suffer in the military.
Perhaps this is also the suffering they must endure?
It is also the situation they must make effort to change.
"Of course, we are snakes, and humans are also in our diet. Of course, this sage is referring to weak humans. You can give us humans from worlds outside the world, preferably not from the Ninja World, we're tired of eating them~~"
Bailin talked freely without any concerns, and even those three Ryūchi Cave Elders actually split open their terrifying snake mouths, flicking out their snake tongues, with a look of craving.
This made the chill on Brogy's body grow stronger and stronger.
Finally, his temper flared up. He grabbed the golden axe at his waist and roared angrily, "Shut the hell up!!!"
He really couldn't listen anymore.
This guy who called himself some 'sage', was actually a man-eating monster?
Brogy didn't know what would happen after reporting the other party's requirements, what Lord Imu would do, or what the World Government would do.
Maybe they would agree?
After all, ten thousand ordinary humans every year indeed wasn't much difficulty for the World Government.
And it seems exchanging them for Ryūchi Cave's cooperation and various resources also isn't a loss?
But Brogy knew he couldn't accept it, and it was even less likely he would help Bailin convey it.
Otherwise, once Lord Imu agrees and the World Government agrees, wouldn't he become the bastard who indirectly killed those ten thousand people every year?
He was a warrior, he could freely massacre on the battlefield.
But this kind of matter, sending humans into a monster's mouth as food, he really couldn't do!
"Huh?"
Bailin, coiled on the throne, looked in surprise and doubt at the suddenly rampaging Brogy.
He didn't understand why the other party was so full of anger?
That surging killing intent was simply like a substantial gale sweeping through the inside of Ryūchi Cave.
This person also didn't look like an ordinary human.
How can there be a human whose body size is as high as over twenty meters?
"Today, I will completely kill off all you man-eating monsters! Tomorrow, I will then apologize to Lord Imu!!!"
Brogy's aura surged wildly, and crimson red flowing light circulated around his body.
The strength of Haki instantly attached to the golden axe and golden shield in his hands, making their surfaces glow with a trace of pitch black glow.
He had already gone all out.
He had even made the resolve to be sentenced to the death penalty by Lord Imu afterwards!
Anyway, the possibility of giving this Ryūchi Cave ten thousand humans a year must be severed!
Then the best method is to completely destroy this Ryūchi Cave, and this damned White Snake Sage!
"You're courting death!!!"
Bailin saw that Brogy was getting serious.
Immediately, he also no longer restrained himself, revealing his own ferocity and killing intent.
The coiled snake body rapidly grew larger, and the large area of shadow it formed enveloped Brogy's body.
The next moment.
The golden giant and the great white scaled snake collided inside the dark and damp Ryūchi Cave, unleashing a burst of deafening roars.
