Chapter 236: Seal Scroll

Watching the ground get closer and closer.

Dong Shilang simply had no time to consider anything else.

At the start, their altitude was only over three hundred meters; after the Rock Ninja shattered the flying creatures they had drawn beneath themselves, their altitude dropped considerably.

Now they are less than 300 meters from the ground.

«Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique»

To land safely, they first needed to reduce their own weight. He knew the Light-Weight Rock Technique, but couldn't reach that height of the Rock Ninja.

It could only lessen some of the Mountain Eagle's weight.

But just that was not enough for a safe landing.

«Water Release: Water Formation Pillar»

As the distance to the ground continually closed, Dong Shilang seized the opportunity and performed a Water Release ninjutsu.

The Water Formation Pillar is not a strongly offensive ninjutsu; it merely allows the user to create several water pillars that revolve around them, creating some momentum, while also defending against some Fire Release ninjutsu.

But the Water Formation Pillar that Dong Shilang created was not like a usual one, split into several streams.

It consisted of only a single column rising straight up from the ground, but its diameter was several meters thick.

And it appeared exactly where the Mountain Eagle was about to land.

Fortunately, after the Mountain Eagle's initial panic, it quickly stabilized its balance; otherwise, Dong Shilang would have had no way to save himself.

With his Light-Weight Rock Technique reducing their weight, plus the cushion of the Water Formation Pillar, their falling speed decreased considerably.

But even that was still somewhat insufficient.

Fortunately, Dong Shilang was not fighting alone; Yuzhibo Zhe, gripped in the Mountain Eagle's eagle claws, contributed his strength at the crucial moment.

By performing the Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp ninjutsu, he added another layer of insurance for their landing.

So they wouldn't hit the hard ground; otherwise, the impact and inertia upon landing would be enough to make them drink a pot.

«We finally succeeded in landing! »

Standing on the ground raised by Zhe's Earth Release, they all looked extremely disheveled at that moment.

But fortunately, they had all landed safely.

«Mountain Eagle, return to Spirit Island to rest first; once we finish our business here, we'll summon you again to heal your wounds! »

This time we really owe it to them; otherwise...

Their group is not going to have an easy time.

«Mm! Remember to hurry~»

The Mountain Eagle also didn't continue the ink traces; it also knew now wasn't the time to talk about those things, and directly released the summoning.

«From now on, it's not going to be easy! »

As the Mountain Eagle departed, within a large cloud of white smoke that had formed, Dong Shilang began to feel a headache. The enemy's surprise attack caught them off guard.

In an instant, it threw them onto the ground.

What's more troublesome is that the enemy now held a clear aerial advantage.

If he wanted to use the Super Beast Imitation Drawing ninjutsu to help his companions escape from the air, it would be even more difficult.

The enemy wouldn't give them a chance to take off.

«Go! »

Before he could think much further, through the gradually dissipating smoke he saw a large pile of white explosive clay hurtling down toward them.

And Dong Shilang had no intention of using Chidori Senbon to turn those clay into duds.

Next, if they wanted to break out over a distance, the consumption would be considerable; they would save a bit of chakra if they could.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their group had just left the spot when successive booming explosions echoed across the open space.

【Have I perhaps opened a door to a new world for these Rock Ninja?】

Looking at the sky, that Rock Ninja, aided by his companions' power, soared through the air, continually dropping explosives upon them.

Dong Shilang was pondering such a question in his mind.

For the Rock Ninja, aerial bombardment is not impossible; it's just that no one has done it before.

Having Dong Shilang as such a good teacher, they are also learning by imitation.

«Stop them; don't let them escape the encirclement! »

A Rock Ninja Jonin, seeing Dong Shilang's group charging straight at them, gave the order directly. Their mission was not to fight to the death with these people; they just needed to block the enemies rushing forward.

As his words fell, he and the dozens of ninjas behind him split into two groups and began forming seals simultaneously.

«Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp»

«Earth Release: Earth Flow City Wall»

Watching those ninjas simultaneously unleash techniques, blocking in front of him, Dong Shilang twitched the corner of his mouth and silently cursed.

These Rock Ninja really do like group combat.

Feeling the little chakra left in his body, Dong Shilang pulled a seal scroll from his ninja pouch and shouted to the few people hurrying behind him.

«Zhe! »

«Understood! »

Without much conversation, their long cooperation let Yuzhibo Zhe understand Dong Shilang's meaning; he surged forward, forming seals with his hands at the same time.

«Earth Release: Earthquake Core»

A large slab of land reaching straight to the opposite Earth Flow City Wall was lifted by Yuzhibo Zhe, serving as a foothold for their group.

«Asuka! »

"Understood!"

After Yu Zhibo Zhaoxia responded, they took out a bunch of needles from their ninja tool pouch, and at the same time directed their gaze toward the threat in the air.

Her chakra was not as abundant as Dong Shilang's; infusing the needles in her hand with lightning-nature chakra also had a decent effect, able to suppress those explosive clays.

"Release!"

Without stopping their high-speed running, Dong Shilang unfurled the scroll in their hand, forming seals to break the seal on the scroll.

As the seal was undone, a massive surge of hermit technique chakra erupted from the scroll, sweeping toward Dong Shilang's figure.

After successfully sealing their own Shadow Clone Jutsu, Dong Shilang then attempted to seal their own hermit technique shadow clone.

After trying various sealing materials, with the chakra paper produced by the original Faction and the ink mixed with the sealing stone powder from the Land of Ghosts and spirit beast blood, the written sealing scroll successfully sealed those hermit technique shadow clones.

This gave Dong Shilang a portable power bank they could carry.

The only downside is the price of these items, which is truly moving.

The paper produced by the original Faction that can be used as sealing scroll paper is fine enough; although expensive, it's not excessively outrageous.

The sealing stone produced in the Land of Ghosts, however, is truly astronomically priced; just a tiny piece the size of a fingernail cost him nearly half a year's battle earnings.

This made Dong Shilang lament his poverty more than once.

The key is that this kind of scroll is still a disposable item; once used, it's scrapped and cannot be used again...
