With that, the two couldn’t wait to cross the safety line and rush toward the bizarre stone platform.

Even Beagle, the rookie who had been terrified this whole time, was now bewitched by that exotic scent. His eyes glazed over as he mindlessly followed behind them.

Riley instantly realized something was terribly wrong. She had gear that resisted illusions, but Bruce and the others acting this wildly out of character meant they were definitely under some sort of influence.

“Don‘: move!”

Riley Lunged and grabbed the three of them, unleashing a sharp, commanding shout that forcefully snapped their rationality back into place.

Riley’s eyes had now turned absolutely freezing cold.

It was way too coincidental.

Exactly four of them walked in, and the lotus split into exactly four flowers. It was as if it was precisely portioning out bait, perfectly catering to each person’s greed.

Right at that moment.

Grrrrr…

The Variant Flame Wolf, which had been standing silently by Riley’s side, let out an incredibly low, guttural growl. It had clearly sensed the danger too!

C.P.’s reaction completely validated the intense, gnawing unease in Riley’s gut.

“There’s something wrong with that thing. Fall back!”

Shocked by Riley’s harsh shout and seeing the Flame Wolf adopt an aggressive, battle–ready stance…

Bruce and Ketchup, veterans who had scraped their way through the apocalypse, finally snapped to their senses. The greed that had just flooded their minds was instantly extinguished by a cold sweat.

The three of them stumbled and scrambled backward until they were near the cave entrance.

ľ

“Boss, is there a problem with it?”

While the other two unconditionally trusted and executed Riley’s orders, the rookie, Beagle, swallowed hard. Looking at the four lotuses still radiating that beautiful halo in the distance, a hint of reluctance lingered in his voice as he asked, “Those flowers look… pretty valuable.”

Riley didn’t bother answering him immediately. Instead, she had C.P. test the waters.

“C.P.!”

“ROAR!”

C.P. threw its jaws wide open, and a violently swirling mass of red and blue flames blasted out!

BOOM!!!

The dual–colored fire slammed into the center of the stone platform, instantly detonating and sending a wave of flames rolling outward.

The instant the flames touched the four Glacial Core Lotuses, a spine–chilling scene unfolded.

Under the blistering heat, the crystal–clear lotuses didn’t burn to a crisp Instead, they let out a piercing, high–pitched shriek that sounded exactly like a wailing infant! Immediately after, the lotuses‘ camouflage melted away, revealing four writhing tentacles covered in fleshy tumors.

And it wasn’t over!

As the flames continued to scorch the area, that unremarkable patch of mud suddenly began to violently quake!

“An earthquake?!” Bruce raised his shield, holding it over their heads as he yelled.

“That s no earthquake…” Riley gripped her axes tight, her gaze sharp as a knife.

Under everyone’s horrified stares, that massive “stone platform” abruptly flipped upward!

No, that wasn’t a stone platform at all!

The moment the “stone platform” flipped over, a foul, rotting stench erupted from the depths of the cave like a hurricane, instantly suppressing the flames C.P. had just breathed out.

It was a mouth.

An abyssal, gaping maw large enough to swallow a Mack truck whole!

The “stone platform” they had just been stepping on to test the waters was actually the lower jaw of a monster hiding deep underground! And those four seductive Glacial Core Lotuses were nothing more than fleshy barbels growing along the edge of its chin. They had perfectly mimicked the lotuses specifically to fish for greedy prey!

Those soft patches of mud were undoubtedly some sort of secretion meant to slow victims down.

If Riley hadn’t stopped them in time… if Bruce and Ketchup had actually charged up to pick the flowers…

The second that massive jaw snapped shut, they wouldn’t have even had the chance to pop a skill or chug a health potion before being swallowed alive!

ROAAAAAR!!!!!

The colossal mouth opened entirely, unleashing a deafening, terrifying roar.
