The old man looked around, “Where? Where is the person?” This was an old man with a sense of age. His speech was rapid, dry, and sharp, like he had swallowed a ton of gunpowder, his tone irritating to hear. His voice suggested a man who could ignite at the slightest spark, with messy hair, disheveled clothes, and unkempt stubble. “Damn it, where’s that little bastard Montu? Where’s that corpse? Dare to deceive me, I’ll kick your balls to bits! Hurry up and get in here, stop dawdling at the door!” The light in the stone chamber dimmed again as another person entered. “Uh, Mr. Oliver, danger! Watch out!” Thump, thump, thump, the newcomer’s steps shook the ground. It was the muscular man from earlier in the chamber. “Hey, where’s that corpse guy, Mr. Oliver?” The muscular man scanned the surroundings warily, holding a heavy iron shield and a giant lance. Approaching cautiously, he finally saw the situation clearly. “Ah, Mr. Oliver, he… he’s already on the ground?! How did you defeat him? I didn’t feel any magical fluctuations from you at all! Did you use martial arts this time, ha ha, have you finally admitted that magic isn’t as good as martial skills in close combat?” The muscular man kicked Lin Feng and exclaimed, “Ha, this corpse scared me! He actually jumped up to attack me just now, luckily I was quick and ran away. Turns out he was looking for help.”
The old man, realizing he had stepped on his target, blushed with embarrassment. He couldn’t figure out when Lin Feng had gotten under his feet, and despite being stomped on, he didn’t make a sound. “What a masochist!” (Uh, a masochist? My magical experiments have a subject now! Hey, it’s hard to find talent these days!) The old man rolled his eyes, plotting something sinister. However, if Lin Feng had actually launched a close-range attack, he admitted to himself that under such close pressure, he’d probably have to rely on his subpar martial skills to escape. But he would never say that out loud. “Shut your mouth!” The muscular man quickly silenced himself, fearing the old man might throw a sinister fireball at him.
