Since the shrine is normally open during the day, accepting incense and offerings from the villagers, if there is really anything boring, it should also be after the curfew starts and the village is closed, so as long as we hide in the temple before the village is closed, we can find the clue of the matter!

The question now is how to explain to Ah Shui's family why we will not return all night - I think if we do find out, we will not have time to go back to the village chief's house to show my face and then run back to continue monitoring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The village is so small that we can see from one end to the other, how can we have a suitable excuse to get out of their sight?

This didn't bother me, during the day, I took Kakashi out of the village to look around, went to the mountains to explore the way, picked a lot of herbs by the way, and when I came back, I found a pharmaceutical workshop through Ah Shui, asked the owner for a pharmacy, and borrowed their equipment to refine the medicine in a serious way - I want to refine the medicine naturally not so troublesome, but, "because it involves the ancestral secret recipe so I refuse to visit" is a good excuse, blocking everyone out of the door, Ah Shui can only go home stupidly, Just told us to go back early to eat. But I told her that guarding the furnace was a very important job, and that she would probably stay here all night......

In this way, before the bell rang for the closure of the village, we sneaked out of the workshop and ran towards the temple as fast as we could. Of course, the "fastest" here is for Kakashi, and I've got a set of invisibility potions for him to drink when he has to make his way through a crowd. Fortunately, the ghost mushroom and the sun grass, two plants that live in diametrically opposed extreme environments, can be picked outside the village, otherwise I really don't know what to do with nothing but money, spices and camping tents~

Fortunately, the pharmacy was not far from the location of the temple, but we avoided two waves of crowds, and we came to the temple without any problems. At this time, the courtyard of Nuoda was empty, and only the last incense was still curling and releasing the remaining incense.

Sure enough, the dark grid I saw last night had been firmly closed at this time, and although there was still a trace of dark aura oozing out, it was no longer clear under the cover of the smoke and fire that was wafting everywhere. I found a corner near the shrine and hid it, and Kakashi ran to the apse to answer it.

As the last bell of the closed village fell, the buzzing hall that had been shaken also regained its tranquility, and a familiar figure came in from the temple door, his steps were hesitant and heavy, and I looked fixedly, but it was the village chief of Komuro.

Komuro walked to the back of the shrine with a dark face, stretched out his right hand, and opened the door of the secret grid, which seemed to be only more than half an inch thick, but in his hand, it seemed to have a thousand weights, but according to my estimates, his cultivation was even more than the ordinary Shangnin, such a strange phenomenon couldn't help but make my heart extra vigilant.

Seeing that the dark grid had been opened, Xiao Yu sighed in a low voice, retreated outside the temple, and did not know what prohibition had been activated, closing the door of the temple wall.

I frowned, it was unbelievable that it was the village chief of Takiguchi Village who was secretly manipulating everything that was happening in the temple! But the current situation doesn't allow me to go to Kakashi for advice, so I can only quietly observe the changes in the secret lattice.

About half an hour later, the gloomy breath suddenly suffocated, and then erupted violently, like a tide passing over me in waves, making people feel a chill, and I couldn't help but shiver.

In this oppressive atmosphere, a black shadow silently emerged from the dark passage, slid down against the back wall of the shrine, crawled for a while, and crawled out of the temple gate before slowly stretching out his huge body.

I held my breath, controlled my heartbeat, and stared at the monster with wide eyes.

In terms of appearance alone, it looks a lot like a miniature version of Grull, well, maybe I could say it's the Goron of the Hokage world, and its unusually developed muscles, its high back, its incredibly thick arms, and its unspeakably ugly head are all very obvious signs......

However, the biggest difference is that this goron is just a phantom, at least to the naked eye, it is disembodied, although the darkness on its body is so thick that my gaze cannot penetrate it at all, but on the surface of that thick black layer, there is a faint flow of moonlight glow, although even this pure moonlight is polluted into a blue-black patch, but I can indeed see that this light is absorbed, diffused and reflected by a mist-like substance.

The monster—or I'll call it Shadow Goron—stood in the moonlight for a long time, and made a round and head for the back of the temple. I knew in my heart that it was probably going to leave the village through the courtyard gate at the back, and immediately tiptoed far away, and when I passed the apse, Kakashi also dodged out - this shadow Goron's evil aura was so huge that it didn't need to be sensed at all, and I knew what must have happened.

Perhaps because we didn't have the breath of life on our bodies, Shadow Goron continued to walk forward without noticing, faster and faster, and when we got outside, it was almost gliding against the ground, so that we had to run for our lives, and we didn't even bother to hide our figures, especially in the empty sacrificial square, there were no obstacles. Fortunately, it never looked back, but just walked vigorously into the mountains to the north.

When it reached the mountain, it was blocked by trees, and the speed of Shadow Goron slowed down significantly, and at this time it could be seen that although its body was a phanthropus, it was also a whole, and it could not be easily divided, and it would never venture through narrow places, and occasionally it would cause the branches to shake when it occasionally touched small branches. It also makes me wonder what the hell is this?

Fortunately, the special terrain of the mountains also provides convenience for us to hide, and sometimes we can boldly observe this monster up close by the shadow of the trees, and the night wind constantly brings the fresh breath of the trees, washing away the cold on our bodies, and everything is changing in the direction that is beneficial to us.

Suddenly, a fishy wind struck, I shuddered, twitched my nose, held back my sneezes, and with this distraction, the shadow of Goron had swept out, and disappeared from my eyes in the blink of an eye......

It's true that I gave it the name "Shadow......

Kakashi didn't flicker out and jumped out, and I followed.

Kakashi only moved twenty meters or so before stopping, and I crouched down beside him, looking over the grass and seeing a thrilling scene.

The shadow of Goron is in front of us, standing quietly, the arm that has been out of proportion, at this time is infinitely stretched, tightly tied to a few meters away from a soil dog, the nails are as sharp as a knife, quickly cut open every artery, blood like a flower, blooming in the low sky, the misty blood mist does not disperse for a long time, and gradually formed the image of the earth dog, barking silently in the moonlight, full of tragedy rushed to the shadow Golon, but like a wave thrown into the sea, it disappeared without a little wave......

Shadow Goron's body glowed with a faint blood light, and it seemed to be a little more condensed. It makes a motion similar to a burp and glances inadvertently in our direction.

There was a nervousness in my body, but the monster didn't make any further moves, but took a step and continued to patrol the forest.

In one night, it "ate" a total of three earth dogs, an owl, and even two voles...... It's really not refusal~!

Towards dawn, the shadow of Goron floated down the hill and returned to the dark compartment behind the shrine just before the curfew ended.
