"Is this place the secret room where the sculptures are stored?"

Xiao Nan used the fire escape to light the lamp hanging on the wall. Under the dim light, she looked around in this cave of about fifty or sixty square meters.

"I sensed it and found that this place is terribly big."

Ryo Shimazaki sat on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was perceiving something. After a long time, he stood up and said

"And the outside is like a maze. If you go in like an ordinary person, you will get lost in it soon."

"Fortunately, my teleportation ability can solve this problem, but it's useless if I can't perceive the location of the sculpture."

Xiao Nan nodded approvingly, just now she used the paper escape technique to investigate, but lost contact within a few seconds, exactly the same feeling as when she used the paper avatar to enter the hell cave.

No, maybe this place is also somewhere in the cave...

And just when she was considering whether to leave first, she heard Shimazaki Ryo's voice

"Look here, it seems that there are still words left by the old man."

Looking at him, Xiao Nan noticed a line of words engraved on the innermost wall.

She walked over, carefully brushed away the dust, and revealed the original content, after staring at it for about two seconds, she said with a sad face

"It doesn't look like the lingua franca of the ninja world. I've never seen such a language."

But thinking about it, if she guessed right, the location of this place was left over thousands or even thousands of years ago. It is normal that the language and characters at that time were different from the current lingua franca.

However, to Xiaonan's surprise, Ryo Shimazaki made a dignified look. He squinted his eyes and stared at the words, with an expression of disbelief on his face and said:

"Water flooded the Buddha's knees, and burned Lingyun Cave..."

? ? ? ?

Xiao Nan opened his mouth, but finally gave up his plan to get to the bottom of it now, and just said

"From a literal point of view, it means that the lake will rise and flood the temple, and then the flames will burn Lingyun Cave? Was this place originally called Lingyun Cave?"

Ryo Shimazaki still maintained that shocked look, and shook his head, "Maybe it's an ancient name."

"Is this a warning from ancient times?"

"Maybe it's a prophecy, maybe..."

"In short, let's go to other places first..."

Ryo Shimazaki put his hand on Xiaonan's body again, and appeared in another cave in a flash.

The interior of this cave was more empty than before, and after lighting the lights, they also found a stone sculpture in the corner.

Such an obvious difference naturally attracted the attention of the two of them, so the two of them quickly moved over.

This stone sculpture looks like a monk, with his palms folded as if he was chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha. The whole stone sculpture looks lifelike, almost like a real person.

"Is this... a statue from ancient times?"

"Perhaps... I heard that in ancient times, some monks chose to sit in evil places to suppress evil. I think this stone sculpture also intended to do so."

Ryo Shimazaki and Xiaonan bowed to the stone statue at the same time, and then they looked over the sculpture to the wall behind, and found a large sunken pit on it, like a place to store something.

"Something...is missing..."

Ryo Shimazaki swallowed, and said with difficulty

"Something...? What?"

Konan realizes that Ryo Shimazaki's identity may be more complicated than he imagined, and may even have a deep connection with the temple.

If this is the case, it is clear that he can know the ancient characters and possess all kinds of incredible abilities.

"The sculpture of the Demon King... It should have been suppressed here forever by monks! How could it disappear?!"

Xiaonan remembered what the members of Qiwuhai said to him before——

A mysterious organization attacked the Qiwuhai members who were guarding the demonic energy, causing the Eight Great Demonic Energy to fall into the hands of Hanzo, and there is a high possibility that there are demons in that organization.

Her face darkened, and she said in a low voice, "Maybe it was stolen by someone!"

"Steal...?" Ryo Shimazaki murmured to himself, and then decisively denied, "Impossible! This place should be guarded by the fire unicorn who guards the statue of the devil... Wait..."

As if he suddenly figured out something, he suddenly realized

"Fire Qilin! I understand. Could it be that the monster that attacked our village was a Fire Qilin, but why did it become like that? It's just like a monster!"

"Could it be affected by the power of magic energy?"

"Demon energy?"

Looking at Ryo Shimazaki's puzzled look, Konan explained, "One of the powers of the demon king in ancient times, if you get it, you can use part of the power of the demon king, but it will also be affected by the demon and become brutal."

"Impossible. From what I know, the fire unicorn is a noble beast, and it will not be easily manipulated by demons. In fact, it is precisely because it is not affected by the whispers of demons that it is allowed to guard the statue of the demon king. .”

"Besides... Fire Qilin shouldn't be so weak..."

"If it is a real divine beast, it will definitely not lose to the existence of the tailed beast, but that monster did not show the power to destroy the world at all."

"After so many years, no one can say for sure what happened. Even immortals will gradually age and lose their power in this long time. No matter how magical the fire unicorn is, it is still a living thing after all, and as long as If it is a living thing, it cannot escape the erosion of time."

"..." Shimazaki was silent, and after a while he sighed, "Maybe so, but..."

"However, the disappearance of the Demon King's sculpture is definitely a matter of life and death in the ninja world! We must find it as soon as possible!"

However, Xiao Nan just looked at him indifferently, "Maybe you have to tell me your identity and your magical teleportation ability first."

"...... Okay..." Ryo Shimazaki was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed, as if some terrifying existence was pointing a knife at him.

In an emergency, he couldn't stop sweating, and before he could ask Xiao Nan, he grabbed her hand and left the cave using his teleportation ability.

After confirming that this was a safe place, he suddenly let out a long breath, and then collapsed on the ground.

Only then did Xiao Nan realize that Ryo Shimazaki's back was already wet...

Could it be that fire unicorn is back?

Xiao Nan thought of

The only one who could scare Shimazaki so much was the one who destroyed his village.

so she asked

"Is it the fire unicorn?"

However, no one answered her, Shimazaki just said with a nervous look

"Unexpectedly...unexpectedly that monster actually exists..."

"What monster?!"

Xiao Nan pricked up her ears, she is now extremely enthusiastic about every piece of information about the Demon Race.

Because she knows that, as a demon who wants to rule the world, that is undoubtedly the enemy of herself and Nagato.

"The Clan of the Pillars... The rumored vampires who fell into a deep sleep after the Demon King was sealed... Unexpectedly, they really exist, and they are in this cave!"
