Chapter 461: Screaming

Dark as water.

When Qin Ran walked into the middle hole, he felt as if he had passed through a curtain made of water, and his shoulders sank.

After walking a full ten steps, with a bright light appearing in front of his eyes, he returned to his original state.

With the light, Kieran could see the straight passage.

It is completely polished from rock, and the ground and walls are extremely rough.

Lit torches, the thickness of an arm, were inserted into the metal grooves on the wall every ten meters, bringing light to the entire passage.

The flame burned the grease, and from time to time a spark was splashed with the crackling sound.

But what caught Qin Ran the most was a side road about 50 meters away from the entrance.

Qin Ran quickly approached the side road.

After a little inspection, he squinted his eyes.

"really!"

"As guessed, there are three passages with different entrances, which are connected internally!"

"That's the only way to explain why Tong Smoot didn't let Shi Qi give up—because..."

hum!

Just when Qin Ran confirmed his guess, the passageway he was in suddenly lit up.

'Brightness' appeared again.

Moreover, compared to the previous 'gentle', this time it was much more 'violent'.

If the previous ones were acupuncture and scalding with boiling water, this time it was cutting with a knife and stabbing with a sword, and red-hot charcoal was placed on the body.

Qin Ran snorted in pain.

The whole person is even more shaky.

hum!

The already strong 'brightness' became brighter again.

Qin Ran, who was on the verge of falling, fell straight to the ground.

But it doesn't end there.

In the next ten seconds, the power of 'Brightness' changed twice in a row. After reaching an extreme, it returned to the appearance when Kieran entered and exited the passage.

"ah!"

Amidst the pained growl, Qin Ran's face was as white as paper, and he leaned against the wall of the passageway in a state of anger.

Kieran stretched out his hand tremblingly, and with the last of his strength, he took out a [Elementary Healing Potion] from the [Pharmaceutical Pack of Safety].

However, he hadn't waited for him to uncork the bottle yet.

Suddenly, a palm stretched out from the side, and snatched the 【Primary Healing Potion】.

'Black Dog'!

The 'black dog' appeared in front of Kieran at some point.

The other party had a face scarf covering his face, so he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly at the moment, but the laughter was full of complacency.

"2567!"

"How come the famous 'Successful Bird' and 'Blazing Demon' are dead dogs now?"

The opponent tossed the [Elementary Healing Potion] up and down in his hand, while looking at Kieran playfully.

Qin Ran gasped for breath several times, wanted to say something, but seemed unable to say anything, could only stare at the other party with his eyes wide open.

"What a scary look!"

The other party chuckled again.

Then, kicked out with a sharp kick.

boom!

Kieran, who was kicked in the left shoulder, had no strength to resist, and fell 4 or 5 meters away, rolling and rolling.

"Hahaha!"

The chuckle of 'Black Dog' turned into a wanton laugh.

He took two steps to Qin Ran, looked down at Qin Ran, and said word by word: "Do you know?"

"I've been waiting for this moment, but it started when I saw you!"

"I've been guessing when Smoot, an arrogant, ignorant, and resentful brat who is dissatisfied with Nikelle, will attack you and how he will deal with you!"

"The result really did not disappoint me!"

"The demon illuminated by the 'power of the temple'... Tsk tsk, it's thanks to the reckless Smoot for being able to think of it!"

"Are you angry?"

"But what can you do?"

"Do you think that in this special passage, you can still be as presumptuous as you are in other places?"

"Stop wishful thinking, my lord 'Suicide Bird' and 'Flame Demon', you can't do anything here!"

As if to prove what the 'black dog' said, the entire passage was once again filled with 'light'.

And, in the same way as before, a gradual build-up followed by a short rest.

"Hahaha!"

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"This reckless man Smoot is such a vengeful person, he will not let you die like this-you know, in order to 'entertain' you well, he not only took great pains to make this passage, but also made every effort to let you die like this. You have stepped into a trap!"

"I can guarantee that he will let you die in extreme aggrieved after hearing all your wailing!"

"But don't worry!"

"We'll avenge you—who let your presence give us a chance?"

"So, to repay us, give me a good, loud scream now!"

"Only your screams can attract that reckless man's attention!"

Saying that, the 'Black Dog' stepped on Qin Ran's head.

Snapped!

Just when the sole of the shoe was about to step on Qin Ran's cheek, a powerful palm pinched the ankle of 'Black Dog'. On the black wrist guard, under the light of the flame, a spider pattern exuded a strange brilliance. Let Qin Ran, who should have been weak, quickly recover.

【Soul Eater II】!

Crunch, crunch.

The huge force made the 'Black Dog''s ankle immediately make a teeth-piercing sound.

"you you!"

The pain caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead of 'Black Dog'.

But compared to the pain, the 'Black Dog' was more frightened by the fact that Kieran, who was supposed to be powerless to fight back, still had such strength.

"Want to hear the screams?"

"How about your own?"

Kieran, who was holding the ankle of 'Black Dog' tightly, raised his head, and the words almost came out between his teeth.

Then, Qin Ran violently pinched the bare arm of the 'Black Dog'.

Woo!

boom!

The struggling 'Black Dog' was thrown straight to the ground by Qin Ran, and the sound of bones being broken was heard like a broken bean.

Blood spurted out from the mouth of the 'Black Dog' like money.

"Excuse me, forgive me!"

'Black Dog' mumbled begging for mercy.

Qin Ran stood up silently, and once again waved the arm that pinched the opponent's ankle.

boom!

First the wall on the left!

boom!

Then there's the wall on the right!

boom!

Then it was underground again.

bang bang bang!

This cycle was repeated, the first two hits of the 'Black Dog' could still utter a sentence or two of begging for mercy intermittently, but after the end, the 'Black Dog' was completely breathless.

The black coat had already been soaked with blood.

Then, it began to be stained with layers of minced meat and bone residue.

After more than a dozen beatings, except for the leg that was pinched by Qin Ran, there was no bone left of the 'Black Dog'.

A ring with an orange glow emerged from the unidentifiable corpse.

[Name: Ring of Substitute Phantom]

【Type: Jewelry】

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack Power: None]

[Defense: none]

[Attribute: Escaped Shadow: 1/3]

[Special effects: none]

【Requirement: None】

[Remarks: Even under ancient alchemy, this is an extremely unexpected work]

...

[Shadow of Escape: When faced with an unstoppable attack, activate the power of the ring, and let a phantom bear the damage for you, and your body will appear at any place within a radius of 10 meters from the original position according to your mind]

...

Qin Ran picked up the [Substitute Phantom Ring], although the number of times is only 1, but this does not prevent Qin Ran from wearing it on the ring finger of his left hand.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded from behind.

And the so-called 'power of the temple' lit up again.
