That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

Camp Seven, an underground prison.

In the critical moment, Cole forcefully squeezed out his body's potential, and a faint, dark red aura surrounded his body.

He kicked the swamp lizard in front of him away, then leaped forward like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, rolling on the ground in a sorry state.

"Are all professionals this skilled?"

Upon seeing this, Virgil couldn't help but swallow hard. Logically speaking, the clan leader's strength should have reached this level as well.

They just don't show off their abilities usually!

Thinking about this, Virgil realized that he hadn't been respectful enough to the chieftain before, and that he would yell at him all the time. Perhaps this was because he was a junior whom the chieftain valued.

When Liu Huan and his companion were not far from the cave entrance, they were naturally discovered by other swamp lizards.

"Hissing roar—"

The two swamp lizards that were fighting with Cole were enraged when they saw this, and one of them tried to quickly crawl over and kill the two of them.

Cole forcefully stopped him!

"You go in and set up the alchemical bombs first, I'll hold them off."

Liu Huan dared not delay for a moment, walked into the stone cave and took out the alchemical bomb from his pocket.

Just then, a foul, fishy smell wafted from behind.

"Liu Huan, watch out behind you!"

Liu Huan's earlobes twitched slightly. Upon hearing this, he dared not be careless at all and immediately leaped forward, his movements as agile as a carp leaping out of its shell.

Grinning teeth—

He heard the sound of teeth grinding where he had been standing, and when he turned around, a chill ran down his spine.

A swamp lizard at the Refining Realm tried to ambush him, opening its bloody maw to bite him, but fortunately he dodged in time.

Liu Huan shouted, "Didn't you say you were here to deal with these monsters? How come you forgot one?"

"Damn, there's too much, I can't handle it," Virgil said, sweating profusely.

Liu Huan didn't know how long the manager could hold out, so he lowered his center of gravity, bent his stance slightly, and stood like a tiger lying in wait to hunt, quietly confronting the demon.

If you turn around and run at this moment, you're doomed!

Even though it's just a swamp lizard at the Refining Realm, the trace of green dragon bloodline within it makes it a level stronger than ordinary demons.

But we can't let this drag on any longer!

A few seconds later, a cold light flashed in Liu Huan's eyes. He moved slightly and appeared above the enemy in the next moment, thrusting his long sword fiercely towards the opponent's weak point.

bang-

However, the iron sword was firmly held by the swamp lizard and could not advance an inch. But Liu Huan revealed a cunning look. His dantian sank down, and the seed inside spun rapidly, releasing bursts of special energy.

The energy was immediately transmitted through the arm to the iron sword, and the blade shone with golden light under the enhancement of this energy.

"Die!!"

The next second, veins bulged on Liu Huan's forehead as he swung his longsword with all his might.

The sword sliced ​​through the swamp lizard's lips with the speed of chopping vegetables, cleanly slicing off half of its head.

Half a lizard head rolled on the ground, and dark green liquid dripped down the tip of the sword.

Roar—

The swamp lizard let out a mournful cry, its remaining body rolling from side to side until it turned into a corpse, motionless.

Liu Huan wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said with lingering fear:

"Fortunately, I can still utilize a trace of the seed's power. Although I can't release it externally, transforming it into sword energy to enhance my attack power is still no problem!"

"Otherwise, it will be another tough battle!"

Seeing that Virgil at the cave entrance was still manageable, he turned around and continued walking inside, for about several dozen meters.

A huge cocoon of energy light hung in mid-air, the surrounding stone walls were shrouded in green light, and if you looked closely you could see a shadowy figure inside.

Liu Huan walked fifteen meters forward but dared not approach any further. His inner warning was pounding, as if if he took another step forward, the monster inside would jump out and devour him.

The alchemical bomb is very easy to use; just press the switch hidden underneath and throw it out.

Liu Huan wasn't that bold. He threw the alchemical bomb at the cocoon from more than 20 meters away.

He then frantically backed away.

The moment the shockwave reached him from behind, he had already retreated to the cave entrance.

Rumbling--

The next second, a tremendous tremor came from inside the cave, and Liu Huan almost collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

Even Elvira on the ground felt the aftershocks, her expression changing slightly. She looked at the bottomless black hole as if it had transformed into a demonic abyss that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

"Did it...do it work?"

Liu Huan was terrified by the power of the alchemical bomb. The original stone cave completely disappeared, and the stone walls were shattered by the aftershocks of the bomb, turning into a pile of rubble that blocked the cave entrance.

After waiting for a while, his ears stopped ringing, and the remaining swamp lizards were dealt with one by one by Virgil.

As Liu Huan thrust his sword into the last swamp lizard, a weak voice came from behind him.

"Well done!"

He turned around and was secretly startled.

Cole had dealt with the three level-one magical beasts, but the price he paid was the complete disappearance of his right arm. Dark red blood dripped onto the ground like water droplets falling from the eaves.

"Manager, are you alright?"

"It's alright, let's go. Now that it's resolved, let's leave this place!"

Cole bit his lip and endured the pain.

Liu Huan nodded, but slowed down before entering the tunnel.

Some uncertain guesses flashed through my mind.

Thinking about the series of events that had occurred in the underground prison, he couldn't help but stop and hesitate for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Virgil, seeing this, asked curiously.

Liu Huan forced a smile and replied, "No, it's nothing! I must have been overthinking it."

"What are you overthinking?"

He didn't answer, but strode towards the elevator platform.

Following the tunnel to the collapsed stone wall of the prison, Liu Huan stopped.

"You can go first, I'll wait for you, Manager."

"Okay, fine!"

Virgil assumed Liu Huan had something to say to that strange manager and didn't think much of it.

Liu Huan stood still, only making a move when he heard movement behind him.

"What's wrong? You don't need to stop here and wait for me. Although I'm injured, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed in Cole's eyes, and a sharp sword instantly sliced ​​through the air and pierced his chest.

"Cough cough cough... What are you doing?!"

Disbelief flashed in Cole's eyes, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he gripped his longsword with his right hand, asking a question.

Liu Huan was initially unsure of his guess, but when the sword tip pierced his chest, he already had the answer in his heart.

Cole's chest was hollow!

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Stop pretending, you're not the manager!"

Upon hearing this, Cole's eyes flashed with anger: "What are you thinking? If you want to keep the spoils for yourself, you can tell me. There's no need to be so ruthless!"

Virgil, who was in front, was dumbfounded. He also thought that Liu Huan was ruthless and wanted to kill the manager and take the treasure for himself.

"Still pretending!"

Liu Huan gripped the sword hilt and twisted it slightly, causing blood to gush out of the wound on his chest.

Cole then fell into an eerie silence, gripping his sword as he asked, "When did you find out?"

"Your acting was terrible. Secondly, all the prisoners in the cell disappeared without a trace, and you made the noise on the ground, didn't you?"

Liu Huan said in a deep voice, "I once heard Hephaestus say that if too many people die in a certain place, it is easy to attract the demons."

"Only the malevolent abilities of demons can devour a prisoner in one go. I suspect you intend to use our power to eliminate that advanced demonic beast, and then consume its energy!"

"While a single level-four magical beast might not be a match for Maple Leaf Town, most people could still evacuate safely. But if you succeed, I'm afraid no one in the entire Maple Leaf Town will survive!"

"Haha, great eye!"

Cole stopped hiding it and suddenly black energy emanated from his body, repairing most of his wounds. Even his severed arm grew back out of thin air!

However, the price is that his aura becomes even weaker, probably less than 30% of his peak strength.

Even so, Liu Huan was still no match for him. His body trembled involuntarily under the pressure of Cole's aura.

The crimson figure in his pupils flew rapidly toward him, and a hand with sharp claws stabbed out!

Virgil looked shocked and instinctively shouted:

"Liu Huan, watch out!"
