Su Mo and Wu Qian stared blankly as Wu Pangzi went from a fat man to a thin one.
The Strange Dagger had clearly devoured all the blood energy piled up in Wu Pangzi's body, making him drastically thinner in the blink of an eye...
Feeling that he had slimmed down enough, Wu Pangzi immediately pulled out the Dagger.
His face was gaunt, all traces of that exaggerated, prosperous plumpness gone. Instead, he looked somewhat sickly pale.
After slimming down, Wu Pangzi was clearly a little weak.
He turned toward Su Mo and Wu Qian and asked, "How is it? Will this do now?"
Su Mo nodded, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Isn't this a bit more trouble than it's worth?"
Wu Pangzi waved a hand, utterly unconcerned. "Treasure is what matters most. At worst, I'll just put the weight back on after we leave the Ruins."

"When we rob them, we'll still have to find a way to convince them that we really are people from inside the Ruins..."
"Once they grow suspicious, it'll cause us no small amount of trouble."
"We could actually combine it with Wu Pangzi's idea to make them certain that we're people from inside the Ruins."
Su Mo thought it over and nodded.
A gleam flashed in Wu Pangzi's eyes as he looked at Wu Qian. This unassuming woman seemed extremely clever too.
Suddenly...
The distant, ring-shaped Great Force Mountain Range shuddered violently, unleashing a tremor that spread throughout the Ancient Forbidden Land.
An ethereal, distant aura
