It's just that, to their surprise, there was no one in the hall, and it was empty.

Kozo Kimura walked forward unscrupulously.

Goemon's eyes were attracted by some of the things placed on the Hakuko shelf, including a wood carving of the "Blue Lantern".

The eyes of the woman holding the lamp on the wood carving actually lit up, becoming a little scarlet, faintly revealing a trace of evil and gloomy atmosphere.

This made Goemon's heart suddenly jump for no reason—it was just a statue of a god wood, how could it bring such a depressing feeling to himself? Could it be that ......

After looking around, Kozo Kimura let out a sneer: "Goemon, this is what you said about the Longtan Tiger's Den?"

The scope of the evil and gloomy aura released from the Goemon discovery type divine wood carving has become wider and wider, and he can't help but change his face suddenly, reminding: "Kimura-kun, the wood carving on the Bogu frame is strange, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, don't take it lightly......"

"What can be strange about wood carvings?" Kozo Kimura couldn't help but glance at Goemon with a mocking look, "I really didn't expect that Goemon, as a B-class ninja, would be able to say such ridiculous things as a ship that sails carefully for ten thousand years......?"

Goemon couldn't help but change color.

- Starling presses the deer, your sister's, if you don't pretend to be forced, you'll die!

Although the value of a ninja's life is not determined by how he lives, but by what he does before he dies. But Kozo Kimura's tone is equivalent to pointing at Goemon's nose and scolding him for being greedy and afraid of death!

If it weren't for the fact that there was something serious to do right now, Goemon would never tolerate Kimura's bastard!

"Woo...... Sigh ......"

An ocelot suddenly sprang out of nowhere, jumped onto the table, and crawled down, making a weird, scalp-tingling call.

The little anger that had grown in Goemon's heart turned into nothing in an instant.

Because he saw that the ocelot had a white translucent thing in its mouth, faintly shining, which was the "egg" that he couldn't find with all his might!

It turned out that it was picked up by this ocelot, no wonder I couldn't find it!

Goemon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he can find a way to get the "egg" in his hands, all of today's mistakes can be written off, and maybe he can even get a reward from the master!

Kimura's eyes also lit up, because he also saw the "egg" in the ocelot's mouth.

Although Kimura is only a B-rank ninja, and his combat power is even slightly inferior to Goemon's, he is significantly more greedy, cunning, and slick, and has a sharper sense of smell and judgment.

The loss of the "egg" was an accident, but Goemon, who was in charge of the covert escort, was responsible.

Therefore, even if Goemon finally recovers the "egg", it will only be a credit at best.

However, if it was him Kimura who retrieved the lost "eggs", it would be different!

Therefore, he almost did not hesitate to make up his mind to snatch the credit.

"Shadow Neck Binding Technique!Stupid cat, lay the eggs down for me!"

Kozo Kimura's shadow instantly came to life from the ground, and his teeth and claws were like a ghost, wrapping around the ocelot's neck. Once you are entangled in this weird ninjutsu, even if you are a lion and a tiger, you will not escape the fate of breaking your neck!

However, the ocelot didn't seem to sense the danger approaching, just tilted its head, glanced at Kimura, and even raised the whiskers at the corners of his mouth slightly, as if to mock him for not being able to measure himself.

Immediately, it gently lifted its cat's claw, pressed it down hard, and with a "snap", Kimura Kozo's "Shadow Neck Binding Technique" was actually pressed on the table by its cat's claw, struggling.

The must-kill ninjutsu performed by the dignified B-level upper ninja was actually cracked by a cat like this!

However, Kozo Kimura no longer cares about being ashamed or not, and his facial muscles twitch in fear.

This must be an ordinary cat! This must be an extremely ferocious cat demon! Goemon is right, this is indeed the Longtan Tiger's Den!

"Goemon-kun, come and help me!!" Kimura knew that it was impossible to take credit alone, and he became respectful of Goemon's title.

However, Goemon didn't move!

The "Qingxing Lantern" type divine wood carving on the Bogu shelf also seems to have come to life, and it is emitting bursts of hissing sounds like coming from the filthy earth.

"Sneer......"

The "ghost lamp" in the palm of the Shishen wood carving didn't know where it absorbed a stream of aura, and it was automatically ignited with a "poof" sound.

The dim light rippled out, enveloping the area within a radius of four or five meters, just separating Kozo Kimura and Goemon.

Kozo Kimura fell within the range of the light, and Goemon fell outside the range of the light.

The light is like a substance, forming a natural barrier.

Kozo Kimura and Goemon were stunned at the same time, and involuntarily turned their heads to look at the statue of the god on the Hakugu shelf.

In an instant, the "Qingxing Lantern" wood carving grinned, the evil scarlet light in her eyes was blazing, her mouth opened at an extremely fast speed, expanded and twisted hundreds of times, turning into an eerie and bloody portal, and a long scarlet tongue thicker than her thigh poked out of it, licking it up, extremely penetrating.

Goemon is okay, but in addition to the barrier caused by the lights, others do not feel the terrifying aura formed by the "Qingxing Lantern" directly and deeply enough.

However, Kozo Kimura is different!

At this time, Kimura's soul was trembling, and he felt a terrifying shadow that seemed to come from the filthy earth, silently burrowing out of the giant mouth of the "Qingxing Lantern", staring at him, ready to pounce on him at any time and suck the flesh......

"Whew......"

At this time, the ocelot, which was also shrouded by the light enchantment, was not happy, its long mouth let out a whistling, and it also bared its teeth at the "Qingxing Lantern", as if to warn the "Qingxing Lantern" not to meow for food, Kimura is the first food that Uncle Meow sees.

However, the "Qingxing Lantern" ignored it, and the bloody long tongue slammed around Kimura Kozo's waist and dragged him into the bloody mouth.

Kozo Kimura was instantly frightened, his hands were tied around his waist, and he couldn't cast a mudra spell at all, and he couldn't use a charm, so no matter how much he struggled, it was useless.

"Goemon, save my ......"

Goemon's face also turned pale: What do you think? Who will risk death to save you in this situation? How can you save it?

- There is no such thing as going to save you!

Judging from the coercion released by the "Qingxing Lantern", this is at least a "withered-level" filthy earth ghost! Not to mention that he is just a B-level ninja, even if the S-level ninja comes, rushing up is not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth!!

Fortunately, Goemon had already seen that the scope of the "Seongyo Lantern" was very limited, and the power seemed to have no way to penetrate outside the light barrier, and it would not affect him for the time being.

Otherwise, he would have already turned around and run away by this time!
