After standing firmly, Qin Ran, after scanning the surroundings, quickly leaned back and stood against the wall

Inside the courtyard is a courtyard with a small lake, centered on which a bridge crosses.

The layout in front of him was very familiar to Qin Ran.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ran thought of Onuma's mansion.

If you zoom in on the layout in front of you, it's exactly the same as the lake in the Onuma Mansion!

"Onuma built his own mansion according to the layout here?"

It was natural for Qin Ran to make such a guess.

However, Qin Ran did not rush to confirm such a guess, he adjusted his breathing, and the whole person disappeared into the shadow of the wall.

After about a few minutes, there was a sudden noise on the wall.

A figure leaped over the wall.

Or rather......

It was thrown over.

Just like Qin Ran just now.

It's just that the other party didn't have a chance to be like Qin Ran, and his feet landed steadily, because Qin Ran in the shadows pounced out violently and kicked at the immovable figure in mid-air.

Bang!

In the collision between the boots and the body, the other party fell directly into the small lake in front of him.

Then, sink silently into it.

There is no splashing sound.

The seemingly clear water in front of me is like a quagmire, devouring life.

Qin Ran looked at the intruder's devoured body expressionlessly.

The figure outside the courtyard could not have appeared for no reason.

It's like there's no way anyone could create an impostor for him and Onuma for no reason.

That guy has always coveted this place.

From the very beginning, the other party never gave up.

Moreover, very clever and suspicious.

It almost hid from him and Onuma.

No!

"Onuma should be aware of it."

"But I'm not sure."

"That's why I chose to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Just ......"

"Onuma didn't expect to draw out a giant python that he couldn't fight against, so he had to start using his father's legacy to fight against the other party."

It is obvious that Onuma cannot stand up to the other side.

Otherwise, with Onuma's character, he would have killed the other party a long time ago, how could he allow the other party to do things under his nose.

From the two cooperations, Qin Ran has already understood what it is like to say nothing under the seemingly peaceful personality of the big marsh.

But this does not mean that Qin Ran will forgive the other party's 'secrecy'.

He hoped that the other party would give him a satisfactory explanation.

Otherwise......

Qin Ran's eyes were cold.

However, soon, Qin Ran began to adjust himself, he knew what he should do most at the moment.

After temporarily throwing the matter about the big marsh in his mind, Qin Ran began to cautiously approach the only bridge over the lake.

The bridge is made of stone, and there are no problems in the expert-level [Mysterious Knowledge] and the transcendental-level [Tracking] vision.

But Qin Ran, who had experienced the strange scene just now, was still cautious.

For the previous scene, Qin Ran still had palpitations at the moment.

He was sure it wasn't an illusion, much less an illusion.

Rather, something more terrifying, something he had never heard of.

One thing is certain, though.

This is indeed left by Onuma's father.

Because of this, Onuma was able to enter easily.

As for the others?

It's a matter of luck.

Moreover, Qin Ran was quite sure that there were some restrictions that he didn't know about, otherwise, the guy who manipulated everything behind the scenes would not be so careful.

It is entirely possible to enter here in a more upright way.

The stone bridge is not long.

According to Qin Ran's previous observations, it would definitely not exceed fifty meters.

But the moment he stepped onto the stone bridge, the fog appeared.

From light to thick, the breath becomes invisible to the five fingers.

In the dense fog, Qin Ran's SSS+ perception was completely lost, he couldn't see or hear.

The only thing I can do is to feel the stone bridge under my feet seem to be ...... Move?!

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the enemy who was silently devoured.

Without any hesitation, Qin Ran took out the [Imitation Yancheng Bracelet] and chose to open the guide.

Although this piece of equipment can be taken out of the dungeon world, Qin Ran can't think of any place where he can still use this item except here.

Although Qin Ran had the nature of a miser, he would not hesitate when and what to use.

Because Qin Ran knew very well that this could be exchanged for greater benefits.

Airplanes!

The bracelet trembled, and the traction that appeared out of thin air grabbed Qin Ran's hand and guided Qin Ran the way.

On the premise of guidance, Qin Ran walked across the stone bridge very easily.

When his boots left the stone bridge and touched the dirt on the ground, the fog in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Even on the stone bridge behind him, there were no weapons.

However, this is just in Qin Ran's opinion.

In the eyes of the people on the stone bridge, this is not the case, it is still a thick fog.

The two intruders spun around like headless flies on the stone bridge, the fog obscuring their perceptions, almost making it impossible for them to move.

Even, less than a meter apart, the two intruders were unaware of each other's presence.

This made Qin Ran feel the magic of the fog at the same time, a grenade appeared in his hand.

Rumble!

A grenade exploded on the bridge.

The stone bridge was unscathed.

The two intruders who faced the explosion did not suffer any real damage, but the impact caused the two intruders to fall into the lake.

Then, the devouring began again.

Compared with before, this time Qin Ran saw it more clearly.

The moment they touched the lake, the two intruders fell into a stupor, as if their souls had been pumped out, allowing the lake to consume their bodies.

"These are the third and fourth."

"How many more pieces do you want to lose?"

"Or is it you next?"

Qin Ran thought silently, and left quickly along the path under his feet.

He didn't wait here.

Not only because Qin Ran believed that on the road after that, there were places to make the other party suffer heavy losses, but also because of the sense of urgency in his heart.

The imposter Onuma said to wait for an hour, but Qin Ran didn't forget it.

He had reason to believe that the other party's words were not just casual words.

Soon, Qin Ran walked to the end of the trail.

A building with the appearance of a red archway appears here.

Same with Onuma there.

The building is also dominated by two thick, straight columns, with green tiles and gold bricks at the top, and the beams are carved with heavy overlapping and intricate patterns.

The only difference is that there are no white finches between the beams and the columns.

But there's something else.

A cold aura emanated from the bucket arches.

As soon as Qin Ran approached the [Imitation Bracelet of Yancheng], a red light flashed again.

Under the red light, the cold aura followed it, and there was a sense of hesitation.

It seems to be thinking about something.

Qin Ran naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

Rushed over with a single lunge.

When Qin Ran's figure completely rushed through the archway, that cold aura completely erupted.

Woo!

It seems to be a twelve-level wind, blowing in all directions with the archway as the center.

Qin Ran, who had already run away, was still swept away.

Suddenly, a piercing chill drilled from the skin to the body.

Attacks that are enough to devour Tier II. [Devourer's Shadow Armor] have no reaction.

Many defensive skills, including [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance] and [Secondary Armor Skin], are also useless.

Let that biting chill rush into Qin Ran's body.

Then, he was blocked by the tenacious 'power of the dawn', and defeated and expelled by the violent 'demonic power'.

Whew, swoop.

Qin Ran gasped heavily.

Streams of cold air erupted, and after a few breaths, a finger-thick layer of ice had condensed on the ground in front of Qin Ran's eyes.

Looking at the ice in front of him, Qin Ran turned his head to look in the direction of the archway with palpitations.

At this time, under the red archway, a white figure appeared there at some point.

Long hair covers his face, and his fingers are blue and black.

In the gap between the strands of hair, Qin Ran vaguely saw a scarlet, bloodshot eye.

And at the moment of looking at Qin Ran, this eye suddenly widened.

It was as if the other party had seen something unbelievable.

With a shrill scream, it disappeared in place.

"What's going on?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

Similarly, there was also a person somewhere in Yancheng who let out such a roar.

This is an old man dressed in a robe with a wrinkled face.

The anger made the old man's face turn red and his body tremble.

"What's going on?"

"What the hell is going on?"

On the other side's tabletop, four of the five erect, lifelike wooden figures had been damaged.

The first from left to right, a crack appeared in the place of the vest.

The second is that the lumbar spine presents an uncomfortable angle.

The third and fourth ones are completely falling apart, and they can't be seen at all.

Seeing his hard work, he was ruined here one after another, and the other party sitting in the chair stood up directly and roared loudly at the man sitting on the side.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say your plan was a sure deal?"

"Why is this happening?"

In the face of such questioning, the man sitting there frowned and remained silent.

In fact, until now, he didn't know why such a change had occurred.

According to his plan, now both Onuma and the 'dead bird' should be kept in the dark and wait for death.

"I don't know yet."

"Will you be able to recall your last puppet?"

"I need to ask for more details."

The man said.

"One last time!"

"I'll trust you one last time!"

As the grumpy old man spoke, he began to prepare to recall the last puppet, but just as the old man was performing his secret technique, a cold aura suddenly appeared on the wooden man.

Almost instantly, the wooden man was frozen into a lump of ice.

Looking at the frozen wooden man, the old man was stunned.

Then, he opened his mouth to say something.

But at this time, the old man found out that he didn't know when, and his body was also frozen.

Subconsciously, the old man had to ask his companion for help.

But when he looked at the place where the man had done it, he realized that his companion had disappeared without knowing when.

"You ......"

The old man roared angrily.

It's just that the last few words come to an abrupt end before they appear.

Because, a white figure appeared in front of him.

Long hair covers his face, and his fingers are blue and black.

When he saw the red eyes in the gaps in his hair, the old man's whole body trembled.

"Rao, Rao......"

The trembling cry for mercy was like the angry roar just now, and it ended in nothing.

Mixed with the breath of bone-chilling cold, it directly flooded the old man and this room.

Countless runes imprinted on the walls and windows flickered constantly, but these runes that were enough to resist the superior gods were so fragile and vulnerable at this time.

Like glass falling to the ground, they shattered one by one.

Then, they freeze one by one.

In the end, only the white figure in the room remained.

This moment.

Here, she reigns.

But when I think of that terrible man.

She couldn't help but let out a low sob.

She didn't expect to see him again.

Why?

Why did he come back?

He shouldn't have come back!

Oh, yes!

He shouldn't have come back!

But I just saw him!

The sobs grew more and more intense, and the nightmarish face made her panic.

Reason, too, is lost.
