Already on guard, Qin Ran became even more vigilant when he heard the strange noise.
After signaling Mimosa to retreat, he completely merged into the shadows, with [Words of Arrogance] appearing in his hand. Yet when Qin Ran truly entered the heart of the Sin Temple and saw the Torturer statue, he was still taken aback.
A mouth covered in sharp teeth was gnawing on the statue.
It was just a mouth!
There were no other organs.
There was not even anything resembling a throat. As the mouth opened and closed, the statue's head completely vanished, as if it had entered another dimension.
Crunch, crunch.
The sound of brittle bones breaking rang out again.
The mouth appeared to be chewing as well.

Boom!
The Torturer statue collapsed.
It shattered into stones of varying sizes and fell into the dust.
Yet that enormous mouth did not disappear.
After chewing several times, the mouth opened again. Foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the ground, rapidly corroding a large patch of it and turning the smooth floor into a stinking swamp.
