The Zombie sighed, "Who isn't? So those three are truly lucky, they can lie flat and rot now!"
"There's no helping it, who told them to be the closest..."
"Hey? Wait! Something seems a bit off!"
"Wasn't the area old ten was in charge of the initial starting point?"
"If the teleportation array had activated normally, there's no way Lin Ran should have appeared there!"
"Don't tell me they were so brain-dead that the teleportation location they set for Lin Ran wasn't far, so Lin Ran could return to the original spot in an extremely short time and kill them one by one again?"
"This... this... this..."
Naga also clearly had a moment of stunned silence, then replied, "It shouldn't be possible..."
"The boss warned them so many times, they shouldn't make a mistake at such a crucial spot."
"Perhaps Lin Ran's obsession was really deep, and he didn't care how far the teleportation distance was, and forced his way back to the original spot. Who knows?"
"After all, this Lin Ran has a golden emerald mount that looks incredibly powerful, so speed shouldn't be an issue!"
The Zombie hesitated for a moment, rubbing his head with some pain, "If that's the case, then it's fine..."
"What we fear now is that there are other powerhouses on this island."
"If those three didn't die by Lin Ran's hand due to his return, but were killed by someone else who noticed the anomaly, then we'd be in big trouble!"
Naga's expression also turned a bit grim, "Ah? There could be such a thing?"
"This, this, this... I don't think it would be that outrageous..."
"They do possess the means to boost their combat power to the tenth tier, and as for the captain, Old Twelve, he has the array core to protect him, allowing him to unleash various forbidden spells..."
"Others are already struggling to resist the power of calamity, how could they possibly kill all three of them?"
"Not to mention, those three wouldn't be so foolish as to not run if they realized they couldn't win..."
"So, I feel like they most likely died from Lin Ran's counter-attack."
The Zombie closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's hope so... otherwise, our boss will definitely be furious."
"All we can do now is believe and wait, we can't help much anyway!"
"By the way, Old Nine, when you go to sacrifice yourself later, your acting needs to be good, alright..."
"Otherwise, if a big guy like you just rushes in and dies for nothing, Lin Ran might notice something is off."
After the Zombie finished speaking, a giant man next to him, resembling a small mountain, quietly agreed, "Understood."
"I will definitely portray a scene of heroic and fearless death..."
Bronze skin, a colossal physique, and the chaotic energy that radiated from his body...
The person the Zombie called Old Nine was actually a super rare race that hadn't appeared in human sight for who knows how many years – a Titan!
Titans were an extremely powerful race. Blessed by heaven, they possessed practically invincible physical strength and monstrous magical talent with little effort.
They could also chant ancient languages with syllables incomprehensible to other races, unleashing near-exclusive forbidden spells...
It could be said that the existence of every Titan was no less than a boss in an online game, possessing an aura and halo from birth.
But it was precisely because of this innate aura and halo that they became targets.
Due to the extreme power of Titans, countless people coveted their bodies.
With nothing on them being worthless, their appearance inevitably led to them being fought over and hunted like prey.
While dragons also faced such troubles, dragons were generally gregarious, and their numbers were much larger than Titans, often tending to help each other out.
Titans, however, always appeared as lone wolves.
Under these circumstances, it was no wonder Titans were hunted to near extinction by all other races!
Thus, in recent years, there were hardly any records of Titans on the entire Blue Star...
It was truly unexpected that this individual, possibly the last Titan in the world, had become an "forgotten one."
Ironically, perhaps it was precisely because of his status as an "forgotten one" that he had managed to survive until today...
After receiving the Titan's consent, the Zombie finally showed a somewhat satisfied smile:
"Well, let's leave it at that. We'll just wait for Lin Ran honestly..."
"After all, worrying about other things is useless, we can't help at all, so it's better to just lie flat and rot, and do our own jobs, right, Old Eight?"
Naga snorted, "Brother Seven, you still have your old ways..."
"Never mind anything else, your mindset is quite good."
"This time we've gambled everything we have, and you're just acting like this?"
"Alright, come to think of it..."
"After all, throughout those long and endless ages, you've maintained this same demeanor, it's a genuine expression of your true self!"
"Think about it, because of your complacency, who was almost killed several times?"
The Zombie smiled sheepishly, "It's mainly that there's nothing I can do this time, otherwise I wouldn't want to be like this..."
"Since the outcome is roughly the same whether we act or not, why bother trying harder?"
"What do you say, Old Nine?"
To ease the awkwardness, he quickly shifted the topic to the Titan beside him.
The Titan had been in a deep contemplative state, resting his chin on his hand, since the beginning, not intervening in their argument.
Hearing the Zombie's question now, he finally made a move.
He stood up, causing the cave they were in to rumble, and then clapped his hands:
"They're here!"
The Zombie and Naga both froze. After exchanging glances, it was the Zombie who spoke, "Here? Here for what?"
"Hey! Don't deliberately change the subject!"
"Ever since we set foot on Kyushu Island, you've liked to say random things that have nothing to do with the topic at hand..."
"What? Are you addicted to it now!"
The Titan still showed no intention of explaining. He continued to stare blankly towards the cave entrance, emphasizing to the two again:
"They are here!"
"They?" Who are "they"? Not willing to say another word, huh!
Damn it! Talking to this guy is so infuriating!
But just as the two were about to press further, they suddenly understood...
Because at the entrance of the cave, a dazzling golden emerald appeared!
