Chapter 108 The Strange End of the World
"I didn't expect that you have such a big appetite despite your small stature."
Looking at the table full of broken chicken bones, Ni Kun couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Tsunade actually ate ten chickens, and finished one tenth of the chicken reserves in Ni Kun's mustard ring in one go.
Among all the foodies Ni Kun has ever met, he would like to call her the best.
Seeing that he seemed to be teasing, Tsunade blushed slightly, and said with a wandering look:
"Well, maybe it's because your chickens are all conjured up by magic, so I don't feel anything when I eat them, so I can eat ten of them in one go!"
After hearing her powerful reason, Ni Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Okay , just treat my ten chickens as air. Are you full now?"
Tsunade said confidently: "Only 80% full!"
"How about some more main course?"
"No problem! It's all a magic trick anyway, it's like air..."
"..."Ni Kun smiled and shook his head, then took out a bag of scallion pancakes and handed it to her.
Tsunade took it without hesitation, and this time she was a little more polite, eating in small bites. But looking at her appearance, her eyes and eyebrows were filled with happiness while eating, and it was obvious that she had not eaten decent noodles for a long time.
When they first met, Tsunade had sharp eyes and a strong aura, and looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
But Ni Kun almost bribed her with just ten chickens and a bag of bread, and almost made her completely let down her guard.
Of course, she didn't completely succumb to food.
The point is that she is too lonely and too depressed.
It has been three years, seven months and twenty-two days since I came to this world with the Hokage.
During the first year, she also tried to find living people, and even occasionally encountered living humans.
But those few humans were not only a different race with high noses, deep eyes and an incomprehensible language, but they were all mentally ill.
When he saw her, there was not even the lust that a normal man would have when seeing a beautiful woman in his eyes, but only the bloody appetite that a jackal or wild dog would have when seeing a lamb.
The terrifying look in his eyes, which seemed to want to eat her alive, made her shudder.
After more than three years, she was almost in despair.
I thought I would end up living alone in this apocalyptic world.
They may not even live to see old age, and one day they may suddenly suffer a mental breakdown and go completely crazy.
But I didn't expect that today I would meet Ni Kun, a "fellow tribe member" with whom I could communicate without any obstacles.
It is even suspected that he possesses Kekkei Genkai and Wood Release.
Although she found out that he was not from the same hometown or ethnic group as her after they met, his handsome appearance that was no different from that of her people, the language with which she could communicate normally, and the delicious food still made her open the fortress of loneliness that she had built for three years and quickly revealed her true nature.
She is sunny, generous, lively and cheerful by nature, not the cold and stern person who keeps strangers away and is difficult to provoke.
"How long have you been here?" Tsunade asked while eating noodles.
"I just arrived yesterday afternoon." Ni Kun replied, and then asked her: "You have been here for so long, how much do you know about this world?"
"Ha, then you finally asked the right person!"
Tsunade was generous in sharing her findings:
“In my first year here, I explored the world in four directions and discovered many incredible things.
"You've seen the living dead and robots, so I won't say much. But have you ever seen a monster that has no vision and chases its prey by sound?
"You've seen it too? I won't say much, but you must have never seen a monster with a human-like upper body and a horse's body from the waist down."
Centaur?
Ni Kun had seen it in the game, but he had never seen it in person.
Seeing Ni Kun shaking his head to indicate that he had never seen it, Tsunade became more excited and began to tell the story with great excitement:
"Those monsters are very strong and run as fast as horses. They have high noses, deep eyes, and foreign faces. They have pointy ears and very sharp teeth in their mouths, just like carnivorous beasts.
"They can't communicate, but they seem to have a simple language, and they can convey information to each other through changes in tone of voice. They can also use simple wooden spears and stones as weapons, charge like knights, and hunt like wolves.
"The first time I encountered that kind of half-man, half-horse monster, I was chased by them as prey. Those idiots actually wanted to eat me, without even thinking about how a girl like me could dare to run around in such a world..."
She narrated how she had clashed with the monsters, how she had met their charge and counterattacked, and how she had fought one against a hundred and defeated the Centaurs, leaving corpses all over the ground and forcing them to flee in panic.
After telling her heroic story of fighting the centaurs single-handedly, she told about other monsters:
“The centaur monster only looks fierce, but it’s actually not worth mentioning. It can even be said to be one of the bottom of the monster chain.
“Out in the wilderness, there is another kind of extremely powerful bug—even though I call them bugs, they don’t look like any normal bugs. Instead, they look like a patchwork of several different bugs.
“They are extremely large, and any ordinary bug is taller than you.
"They have mantis-like forelimbs that can stand up and attack, and their claws are so sharp that they can easily penetrate thin steel plates.
"If it was just one bug, it wouldn't be that scary, but every time this kind of bug comes out, there are a large group of them, at least several thousand of them. Every time I see them, I can only run away..."
Sounds like Zerg?
And it looks like the Zerg from "Star Troopers".
" There is also a kind of huge monster that looks like a human, but is at least three meters tall, with a short horn on its head. They are all fat and strong, with great strength, and their skin is as hard as stone. They use clubs and stones as weapons and are very good at fighting.
"Among those humanoid monsters, there are also deformed ones with two heads. Those deformed ones are very smart. I suspect they have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans. They can even cast spells. Although they only know a few spells, their power is also considerable..."
Sounds like an ogre and a two-headed ogre.
"I've also encountered a monster that's good at stealth. Its black shell is harder than steel. Its claws and tail can easily tear through steel plates. What's even more outrageous is that its tongue can be ejected like a frog. There's a circle of sharp teeth on the tip of its tongue that can also pierce through steel plates..."
Oh, it’s the classic monster “Alien”.
"There is also a kind of stone monster, whose body is made of large and small stones. It usually does not move and looks like a pile of rocks. But as long as you get close to a certain range, they will turn into legless semi-human monsters and throw stones at you crazily..."
Earth element?
“I also encountered a very scary monster.
“The monster was about 17 or 18 meters long from head to tail, with a body like a lizard, a pair of huge swept-back horns on its head, and a small sharp horn on the tip of its nose. Its body was covered with fiery red scales, and it had a pair of bat-like leather wings.
"That monster is not only extremely powerful and strong, but it can also breathe fire, and the flames can instantly melt steel into molten iron. What's even more terrifying is that it is so big and can actually fly, and can dive down from the sky and breathe fire...
"That monster is the only one I can't afford to offend. When I see it, I can only hide. It's not that I can't beat it, it's that I can't fly and I can't hit it at all. If I could hit it, as long as I have the chance to hit it with one punch, I can beat it into a cripple..."
According to the description, it should be a giant western dragon. And it looks like the most powerful red dragon among the five chaotic evil dragons in DND.
However, judging from its size, it seems to be just a young and middle-aged red dragon, and has not yet become an old and powerful one.
Of course, seventeen or eighteen meters is not small.
Anyway, for humans, this size is already a crushing behemoth.
Tsunade continued her story, mentioning many more kinds of monsters.
Not only are there all kinds of monsters on the ground, but there are also some scary . Ni Kun has basically an impression of the monsters she described, all of which are terrifying species that have appeared in various games, movies, comics, and novels.
This made Ni Kun very surprised - what kind of evil had happened to this doomsday world?
How come there are so many horrible monsters coming into this world?
However, Tsunade's subsequent description made Ni Kun vaguely feel that this world might not be a doomsday world where monsters simply invaded.
Tsunade said that she had seen a ruined castle, and from the description it seemed to be a Gothic castle.
The reason why the castle was destroyed was that it was run over by a huge metal structure. The equally old and broken metal structure was buried in the land next to the castle, with only half of its butt exposed.
It sounded like a crashed spaceship.
Tsunade had also seen a ruined city, which, according to the description, looked like a classical oriental city. But in that city, there was a reinforced concrete building with only a frame left, standing abruptly in the city.
She also saw a withered forest. The forest was full of towering trees with diameters of several meters or even dozens of meters. Palaces and houses were built on the trees, connected to each other by branches and vine bridges. There were traces of cold weapon battles everywhere, and a large number of broken and rusted armor, bows and arrows, swords and guns were left behind.
But there was no corpse, only a large number of broken and tiny bones. It seemed that the corpse was dragged away and eaten by the monsters.
Tsunade also picked up an exquisite and gorgeous, but not very practical work of art dagger. When talking about the discovery, she took out the dagger and showed it to Ni Kun.
This knife is extremely finely crafted.
The handle of the knife was inlaid with a green gem that was polished into more than a dozen facets, as well as gorgeous vine and flower-like embossed patterns, and a line of strange, unrecognizable letters in the shape of branches.
The constant "language comprehension" of the Reincarnation Watch only allows the Reincarnator to communicate with the indigenous peoples of all walks of life verbally, but does not include the ability to read. Therefore, Ni Kun could not recognize those letters.
But just looking at the extremely exquisite craftsmanship, the words where even the letters look like works of art shaped like flower branches, and considering Tsunade's description of the city on the trees that was made entirely of wood without any earth or stone building materials, Ni Kun still thought of a classic fantasy race.
Elf.
That should be an elf city.
Tsunade also talked about some humans she occasionally met.
Those humans were all aliens with high noses and deep eyes. They were as dirty as beggars rolling in the garbage dump. Their minds were twisted like lunatics. They not only hunted various monsters, but also attacked each other and ate humans.
But those crazy humans are still very powerful.
They are all very skilled in strength, speed, and martial arts, and some even know spells.
Ni Kun expressed his understanding of this.
How can humans who can survive in this crazy world be weak?
Even if they have suffered a mental breakdown and gone mad, it will probably only make them more cruel and powerful, and better able to adapt to this crazy doomsday world.
But then again…
There are all kinds of mixed buildings, including modern Western metropolises, classical Eastern cities, elf tree cities, Gothic castles, crashed spaceships, and all kinds of monsters...
Is this really a simple world?
Why does it sound like a large garbage dump?
A garbage dump that specializes in recycling ruined cities and doomsday monsters after various doomsday destructions?
There were too few clues. Ni Kun, who had never witnessed the strange scenes with his own eyes, had no way of making an accurate judgment based on Tsunade's description alone. He could only make some random guesses and then withdrew his thoughts.
Perhaps it had been too long since Tsunade had spoken so freely, and she actually talked for more than several hours in one breath.
Not only did she tell Ni Kun about what she discovered when she first arrived and explored the surroundings, but she also confided in him the difficulties she encountered in finding survival supplies and the various circumstances that went into building this safe home.
In the Naruto world, there is already electricity and various electrical appliances, but Tsunade does not have the skills of an electrician. Not only does she not have electrical skills, she does not even have construction skills.
Therefore, she made a lot of jokes at first and even hurt herself several times.
But she finally overcame all the difficulties. She studied and figured out the instructions she found in the mall, which she could not understand at all and could only guess through the pictures. She tried and made mistakes bit by bit, and it took her more than two years to finally build this comfortable little home with complete water and electricity supply.
The nest is deep underground, and there is an underground river underneath, which not only provides Tsunade with clean water, a constantly flowing stream, and several cracks leading to the ground, but also allows air to circulate, so that Tsunade does not need to install special ventilation ducts and consume precious electricity.
She is even planning to look for a set of small hydroelectric generators to utilize the water flowing in the underground river all day long.
Ni Kun kept smiling as he listened to her increasingly trivial confession without showing any impatience.
Before I knew it, the bell rang.
Tsunade looked up and was stunned for a moment: "Ah, it's already eight o'clock in the morning?"
When I brought him here yesterday, it was just past three in the morning.
Unexpectedly, it was already eight o'clock in the morning without me noticing.
After talking for so long, Tsunade didn't feel any tiredness except that her mouth was a little dry. It felt like she could continue talking for the whole day.
But that's not hospitality.
Tsunade finally met Ni Kun, a living person with whom she could communicate and create delicious food. She didn't want to scare him away by being too talkative.
He suppressed his desire to continue talking, cleaned up the chicken bones on the table quickly, and said to Ni Kun:
"You must be tired after a busy night. To thank you for treating me to dinner, I decided to prepare hot water for you so that you can take a comfortable bath and then have a good sleep."
After saying that, he poured another glass of water for Ni Kun and asked him to wait for a while. Then he hurried to the bathroom to prepare hot water for Ni Kun to take a bath.
Ni Kun drank the water in small sips, pondering in his heart.
Yesterday, during the whole day and half a night, I gained a lot of reincarnation points, earning more than 1,700 points.
But there are only three Origin Crystals, one white and two gray, obtained by killing two cannibal imps.
If it was just a reincarnation point, the abandoned city with a large number of zombies would undoubtedly be a place where he could have a great time.
But having reincarnation points alone is not enough. Without the origin crystal, you cannot exchange for good things, nor can you learn skills through initiation.
"We need to fight some powerful monsters... such as the powerful alien humans in the wilderness, or even that red dragon? Well, can you ask Tsunade to take me to find them? I'll pay you with delicious food..."
