Chapter 8: The Trap

The sound of the sword being sheathed echoed through the underground hall, and the sunlight shining overhead made superheroes such as Catwoman a little dazed.

The ground is 100 meters deep, and it was pierced with a sword?

The 'knight' and 'weapon master' looked at each other.

They knew that Qin Ran, who had the record of defeating the 'Resentful Dragon', 'Death Knell', and 'Mr. Evil Spirit', and won the title of 'Gluttonous King', was very strong, but to what extent, the two did not have a specific concept, but at this moment, it became clear.

After slashing out, there was not the slightest change in aura.

It shows that this sword is easy for him.

Even...... It can be said to be a casual hit.

Thinking of this, the 'knight' and 'weapon master' looked at Qin Ran with an extra sense of horror in their eyes.

The two oldest superheroes know exactly what it means to do this.

That would be a power beyond the 'Fist of Justice' Dresden!

And......

There is no limit!

Dresden is undoubtedly powerful with his feet on the ground, not only invulnerable, but also infinitely powerful, but once he leaves the ground, this ability will be greatly reduced, so smart supervillains know how to fight Dresden.

But Qin Ran is different!

Except for eating a little more, Qin Ran didn't show any shortcomings.

Suddenly, a touch of joy appeared on the faces of the 'knight' and the 'weapon master'.

They can already foresee the strength of 'League of Legends'.

Compared to the many thoughts in the minds of "knights" and "weapon masters", "Catwoman", "Mechanic" and "fortress" are much simpler.

They were just stunned and speechless.

As for Dresden?

This 'Fist of Justice' was not at all annoyed by the transcendence, he was only happy, and he was very glad that he had pulled Qin Ran into his camp.

"A beautiful sword!"

"Next, it's up to me."

Dresden praised Qin Ran, and he was eager to try.

The retreat was opened, but the bones that had come back to life were still close.

Naturally, someone needs to fight them.

"No, Dresden, your battle is on top."

Qin Ran pointed to the top of his head, Dresden was stunned, and Qin Ran continued: "You don't think that the situation in front of you is just a coincidence, right? ”

"The 'Dragons of Resentment' didn't find this ruin when it took over the Smallville neighborhood, and when we defeated him, it just appeared, along with some strange creatures...... Do you think such a thing could be a coincidence? ”

"Don't forget this morning's bombing!"

Qin Ran asked almost emphatically.

Suddenly, Dresden's brow furrowed.

"You mean ......"

"2567, I'll leave it to you for now."

"Catwoman will be waiting for you on the ground as a liaison officer, and the others will come with me!"

Dresden made a quick decision.

Although there were tens of thousands of moving bones in the ruins in front of him, there were only three exits, and besides, the terrain was narrow, and it was enough for Qin Ran to guard it alone.

Dresden believed that Qin Ran was strong and could do this easily.

However, the city of Eikander is different.

Once the large city of Akander was attacked at the same time, he alone was really lacking in skills, and it would take at least three or four people to work together to barely fend off those who might be able to defend against those who might be able to do so.

Dresden quickly departed with the men.

'Catwoman' didn't leave immediately, she stared at Qin Ran, looking at Qin Ran with a look that she had never seen before.

In fact, when Qin Ran swung his sword just now, the 'Catwoman''s gaze never left Qin Ran'...... Waistline.

Her gaze seemed to be about to be covered by the ravenfeather trench coat, as if she were seeing the [Polar Night].

"What's that?"

'Catwoman' came to Qin Ran's side, rubbed her face against Qin Ran's arm, and asked coquettishly.

"Weapons."

Qin Ran replied concisely.

"Can you let Meow see it?"

"In exchange, Meow can let you touch your head."

"You've already given up a chance, don't ...... this time Meow, meow! ”

Before 'Catwoman's words were finished, Qin Ran once again grabbed the back of her neck and threw it towards the gap above her head.

In a series of piercing screams, Catwoman flew to the ground.

Cats are very peculiar creatures.

Whether you are poor or rich, it looks down on you.

Occupy your sofa, bed, bench, as your own chassis, hold your pillows, cushions and grind your paws, and suddenly coquettish you, there is only one possibility

Hungry!

Other than that, nothing else.

The so-called looking for you to play?

No kidding.

When the cat plays by itself, it is much happier than when it plays with you.

And the 'Catwoman', who has the same personality as the cat, suddenly coquettish, of course it won't be hungry, the other party wants [Polar Night].

Qin Ran didn't know how the other party could see the extraordinaryness of [Polar Night].

But that didn't stop him from refusing.

Although he is not a swordsman who loves swords, Qin Ran clearly knows that his weapons must not be borrowed.

What's more, it's to borrow a guy with a bad record.

Qin Ran didn't want any problems with the [Polar Night] that he had worked so hard to repair.

Of course, another point is that Qin Ran doesn't want the next battle to be paid attention to by more people.

Because, he had found a very special aura in that group of bones.

……

"What kind of monster is this?"

"It's just like those direct descendants!"

"Impossible!"

"Those direct descendants are already dead!"

"Mutation!"

"It must be a mutation!"

"Damn, why did I come across such a deviant monster?"

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape from here, but now it's about to become a life-and-death disaster?"

"I'm so unwilling!"

"I'm so unwilling!"

A skeleton mixed with many bones, the soul fire was beating rapidly, its appearance was no different from the surrounding bones, and under the cover, the soul fire was also the same, simply put, it was difficult for anyone to distinguish this skeleton from the surrounding bones.

Especially after it chose to mimic the posture of walking with the skeletons around it, it was exactly the same.

But it's still playing the drums in its heart.

Because, it knows very well the horror of those mutant monsters.

Even if it is not a mutation of direct descendants, but it has reached the level of direct descendants, it must not be provoked.

It only wants the other person's perception to be weak now, and not to find out about its existence.

And then......

It finds itself overthinking.

Rumble!

The hot flames flooded the surrounding bones like a tidal wave, and these bones, which should have been as hard as metal, quickly melted.

Only it remains.

Moreover, what frightened it even more was that the monster in front of it had no intention of stopping.

The terrifying flames that it felt were like machine-gun fire, one after another, quickly filling the entire hall.

The camouflage it placed on quickly disappeared.

Then, the monster looked at it.

The gaze is indifferent, but full of oppression.

Under such a sense of oppression, the fire of its soul kept beating, and the power wrapped in it could no longer be hidden.

Crunchy.

The skeleton's form shattered completely.

A strange creature with a whole body green, like a lizard, appeared in Qin Ran's field of vision.

It's exactly the same as the weird creatures I've encountered before.

But there are differences.

The previous one obviously didn't have much wisdom, just slightly detached from the instinct of the beast, and his body was stronger, but the difference in front of him was that he knew how to disguise, and his body was rickety, but his eyes flashed with wisdom.

When it returned to its original state, the lizard-like humanoid creature stood motionless, thinking about how to get out of the situation in front of it.

Fight?

There is no doubt that no, how did the young junior who was several times stronger than it die before, but it is clear, it doesn't want to be eaten.

What's more, the sword just now had already broken its liver and gall, and that kind of sword, even in its period, was a symbol of the strong.

Unable to fight head-on.

Then that's all that's left......

Thump!

The humanoid lizard creature knelt down and raised its hands above its head, signaling that it was not threatening.

"My lord, I'm just a dying old torturer."

"I've put down the torture equipment, and I'm just here to survive."

"Please leave me alone."

"Where is this?"

Qin Ran looked at the other party and asked.

"This is Amede's sentry post, guarded by the Fifth Brigade of the Seventh Army."

The old lizard replied truthfully.

"Fifth Brigade?"

"Just the bones?"

"What's going on here?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

And this time, the old lizard was a little hesitant, but immediately, it continued to reply: "Yes, those skeletons are all soldiers of the Fifth Brigade, but because of an accident, all of them died, and even I lost most of my strength in that accident. ”

"What accident?"

Qin Ran asked.

"'Black Plague'!"

The old lizard's face showed a trace of fear, and when this trace of fear appeared, Qin Ran's gaze glanced indistinctly at the staircase that was obviously going up in the larger hall.

The old lizard with fear in his heart didn't notice Qin Ran's gaze at all, but it seemed to sense something approaching.

"'Black Plague'!"

"It's the 'Black Plague'!"

"It's coming!"

"Why does it still exist?"

The old lizard shouted in horror and bewilderment.

In the midst of such frightened and incomprehensible shouts, the green body began to be eaten away, little by little, and there was no doubt that the process was painful.

Its eyes lit up with supplication.

It begged Qin Ran to kill it.

Relieve the pain for it.

However, Qin Ran was indifferent.

Qin Ran just looked at the other party like this, watching the other party's green body being devoured little by little.

Until there is only one head left.

The head didn't fall to the ground, it just levitated out of thin air.

Qin Ran's gaze met the other party's.

Neither aggressive nor indifferent, just an inquiry, as if seeing something interesting.

Because, in Qin Ran's [Tracking] field of vision, a layer of supernatural darkness like before was covering the other party's body, creating the illusion that the other party seemed to be devoured.

However, this supernatural darkness is much more clever than the previous lizard creatures manipulated.

Not only did it hide its own color, but even the cold breath was gone.

"How could you possibly find out about the 'Black Plague'?"

"Do you still need the ability to torture in your mutation?"

"It's impossible!"

"Those madmen can't make it!"

"The torturer is unique, a god-given power, a ......"

Under Qin Ran's gaze, the old lizard suddenly became hysterical, it howled wildly with emotion, and then turned around and ran.

There is no doubt that the scene just now is also a disguise.

The moment he turned around, the hysteria on the old lizard's face disappeared completely.

All that remains is calm and cunning.

As a torturer, it has always believed that if it can't fight head-on, then use stratagem!

As long as you plan well, no matter how powerful your enemies are, they will be killed!

Just like it has succeeded so many times in the past!

This time, it's no exception!

Just lead him there......

Victory is mine!

The old lizard thought confidently.

But, the next moment

Hiss!

Snake?!

The moment the snake hissed appeared, the old lizard stiffened all over, and as a lizard, it was born with a considerable fear of snakes.

In particular, these giant snakes, which are the thickness of buckets, more than ten meters long, with a sharp head like a spear, and a dim body, revealing four giant snakes that are comparable to the fangs of a long sword.

The moment they saw these giant snakes, the old lizard was shocked.

Not only does the body become stiff, but the mind also freezes.

And in this state, the old lizard seems to be out of some kind of controlled state.

What's going on?

Why is this happening?

I just want to leave quietly?

Why is the battle happening?

'Black Plague'!

Only the 'Black Plague' can silently influence it and change its mind.

Only it!

The answer instantly appeared in the bottom of the old lizard's heart.

The old lizard grew more and more frightened.

It cried out for mercy.

"Leave me alone!"

"Please let me go!"

"I don't want to be ......"

Laugh at!

Before the shocked old lizard could finish speaking, it directly vaporized.

It turned into a supernatural, cold black, like a swallow returning to its nest, and rushed towards the staircase at the end.

When this black entered the staircase, it was as if it had triggered some kind of chain reaction, and more supernatural darkness appeared.

The cold breath made the temperature of the entire hall drop rapidly.

Ordinary people here will be frozen in an instant.

But, that's ordinary people.

Qin Ran is not in this category.

On the contrary, when this rich supernatural darkness appeared, Qin Ran smelled a rich aroma of cocoa, as if a spring had appeared from the ground, and it was constantly spewing hot cocoa.

Goo, goo.

'Gluttony' almost irrepressibly crawled out of Qin Ran's shadow, he stood beside Qin Ran, a hungry scream came from his stomach, and the sound of swallowing saliva one after another was like a stream flowing back, gurgling.

However, 'gluttony' did not rush forward.

He turned his head to look at his brother with longing in his eyes.

Facing the pitiful eyes of 'gluttony', Qin Ran was unmoved, but he gave a rare explanation.

"Do you know the traps for catching birds?"
