Slurp, slurp.
Amid sounds like someone slurping noodles, the figure felt his own "dark gold" power rapidly disappearing. Instinctively, he turned his head.
At once, he saw the Gluttony King's avatar.
"Y-you, how did you get here?"
The figure cried out in shock.
He was certain that he had been the only one in this secret hideout. There was no way an avatar could have been planted here beforehand. Besides, this avatar should have been in the hall.
Could it be...
The Gluttony King could travel through the ground?
The thought had barely surfaced when a leg silently swept out of the shadows and slammed into the figure's neck.
Crack!
With a crisp snap, the figure's head flopped to one side, and his body fell straight to the ground.
Even in death, the man who believed he had been pulling the strings from the shadows kept his eyes wide open.
He had hidden deep underground and thrown out all sorts of smokescreens.
Why had he still been found?
And why had he been unable to fight back at all?
His opponent's strength was completely at odds with the information he had obtained!
Someone had set him up!
With that final glimmer of realization, the corpse ceased breathing altogether.
Qin Ran swept his gaze over the corpse and picked up the golden item that appeared on it. Naturally, he would not tell the man that all his information was outdated.
Just as he had no intention of letting the hidden creature go.
Whoosh!
Demon Flame ignited in Qin Ran's left hand, then shot toward the fallen corpse.
But just as the Demon Flame was about to burn it, the corpse suddenly moved.
Its neck remained broken, its head lolling to one side, but its body was as agile as a monkey.
