The danger remained

Ten minutes later, the unconscious Qin Ran gradually came around.

The moment his awareness fully returned, he sprang to his feet and looked warily around him.

There was no sign of the Beast of Desire!

Nor was there any sign of the Demon Shadow!

His injuries had also healed completely!

"It worked!"

Qin Ran murmured under his breath.

Although he had chosen to trust that the system's healing light could save him, and had resolved to face even death without regret, if he could live...

Qin Ran certainly would not mind.

Whoosh!

He let out a long breath.

The exhaustion of hovering between life and death left Qin Ran drained in both body and mind.

Still, he knew perfectly well that this was no time to rest. There were things he needed to check.

At the very least, he had to find out what had happened to the Beast of Desire and the Demon Shadow!

Otherwise, he would never be able to eat or sleep in peace.

As Qin Ran checked, information logs flooded his vision.
