Chapter 467: Earth-Moon War (3)
The exit of this space-time tunnel was hidden within an underground cave.
In truth, this lake connecting Earth and the Moon was constructed using the power of numerous summoned crustacean battle creatures. The red crabs standing guard around it were not just the lake's protectors but also its maintainers.
That was why the entrance and exit were concealed underground, simultaneously serving as a nest for these summoned creatures.
Thus, as soon as the ninja world's first pioneer troops landed on the Moon, they were immediately attacked by a massive swarm of red crabs.
These crabs were truly extraordinary. Not only did they possess incredible strength and hard shells, but they could also release special bubbles with various effects—ranging from hallucinations, chakra blockage, sealing, and more.
Overall, their strength was roughly equivalent to that of an average Chunin.
It was as if hundreds of Chunin were lurking around the exit, creating an extremely challenging situation.
However, the pioneer troops' objective was to secure the area around the exit during the surprise attack, buying time for the subsequent forces to land.
As such, this pioneer unit was composed of elite, handpicked ninjas—all high-level Jonin.
Though there were only about a hundred of them, they were enough to hold the line temporarily.
And once the six Jinchuriki from the ninja world successfully landed, the tide of battle quickly turned.
