This young woman almost suddenly appeared here. All the people nearby stepped back half a step.

Black-Sheep widened his eyes, looking at this woman who shouldn’t have appeared here. His brain spun rapidly, but he didn’t know what had actually happened.

The young woman herself also seemed not to have expected she would appear here, but her puzzled expression changed to disdain in a very short time.

She first looked at the dozen or so “Participant Levels” beside her, then sneered coldly before turning her gaze to Black-Sheep.

“I’m impressed… How did I teleport to you?” She looked at Black-Sheep with a provocative gaze. “It’s only been a short while since we last met, how come you look like you’re about to die?”

“You…” Black-Sheep opened his mouth but had no idea where to start asking, after all, he had far too many questions.

He had clearly directed this woman to walk straight into Qinglong’s room, so how had she suddenly appeared here?

Moreover, he had carefully inquired before—this foolish person didn’t possess an “Echo” at all, she was just an ordinary “Participant” who couldn’t be more ordinary. So what was this teleportation-like movement method about?

“Forget it…” That young woman shook her head. “It’s good enough that I could come back. I randomly jumped around for quite a while and thought I couldn’t come back at all. Originally my mind was thinking of Qinglong, but I kept thinking of you, this pitch-black sheep. Perhaps you were the first person I met in this corridor.”

“Randomly jumped around…?”

“Is that something you should be asking?” The woman stared at Black-Sheep and said. “But whatever, considering how diligently you guided me to see Qinglong, this ‘Divine Beast’ won’t hold it against you.”

Hearing these words, the questions in Black-Sheep’s heart almost reached their peak. Even though he was already trying to think like Baiyang and connect the entire matter, he still couldn’t figure out any clues.

“Di-Divine Beast… you…?”

“It’s really thanks to you!” Xiao Ran smiled. “If it weren’t for a kind person like you, I really might not have had this opportunity. All you dirty and ugly ‘Zodiacs’ listen well—I am now the ‘Qiongqi,’ second only to Qinglong.”

Earth-Monkey stood by the wall, covering his wounds and also looked at this woman with confusion, feeling the situation was somewhat strange.

At this chaotic moment, even if a true “Divine Beast” descended, they would never dare appear here with such an attitude. After all, the entire corridor was filled with murderous intent, and even a “Divine Beast” as strong as they were couldn’t guarantee their absolute safety.

If the woman before them was a newly promoted “Divine Beast,” theoretically hiding her identity to strike unexpectedly would be the best strategy, because no one could determine which side in the corridor was actually their ally.

Now she stood alone in opposition to all the “Zodiacs” present. Could such a thing… really be a “Divine Beast”?

Even the craziest Zhu Que might not be able to do such a thing.

But if she wasn’t a “Divine Beast,” making enemies like this would mean certain death. What could her purpose be?

“What are you all standing around for?” Xiao Ran discovered that everyone around her was silent, and her expression quickly became displeased. “Wasn’t I clear enough just now? Being disrespectful to me is being disrespectful to Qinglong. You’d better think carefully. Can someone report to me what the current situation is?”

Black-Sheep knew he was indeed grasping at straws in desperation. It was known that the woman before him was arranged by Bro Sheep. Not only had she entered Qinglong’s room and emerged unharmed, she even claimed to have obtained the status of “Divine Beast.” Now she had appeared before him by some strange coincidence…

Could that mean she was truly one of his own and could help him escape this desperate situation…?

He felt there were still many suspicious points about this matter, but he had no way to penetrate Baiyang’s intentions in such a short time. He could only remain silent in place, quietly observing the situation.

“You… say you’re a ‘Divine Beast’?” A “Participant Level” looked somewhat unconvinced and slowly walked forward a step. “How do you prove you’re a ‘Divine Beast’…?”

After hearing this, Xiao Ran’s expression turned cold. With a backhand slap, she struck that “Participant Level” across the face.

“Smack.”

With this slap, everyone present was stunned, including the “Participant Level” who was struck, who was also somewhat at a loss.

Because this slap was really too light.

Forget about a “Divine Beast”—it didn’t even reach half the strength of an “Earth Level.”

“Where are you a ‘Divine Beast’…” That “Participant Level” covered his cheek, his expression gradually growing angry. “You’re clearly just a ‘Participant’ who can only ‘teleport’…”

Xiao Ran felt like she hadn’t intimidated these lowly “Zodiacs” before her. If she had to blame someone, she should blame that Heavenly-Snake for not upgrading and strengthening her power as well, causing her to be somewhat passive much of the time.

“Probably a ‘rebel’…” The many “Participant Levels” whispered among themselves.

Seeing the situation reversing, Xiao Ran thought for a few seconds on the spot, then simply unbuttoned her clothes directly, revealing her back covered in scars.

Everyone also saw at this moment the several fresh eyeballs rolling around on her back.

“You blind fools, take a good look…” Xiao Ran said with a cold smile. “Would an ordinary ‘Participant’ have these things?”

Seeing this ridiculous scene, Earth-Monkey shook his head helplessly and walked a few steps forward to Black-Sheep’s side, then said: “Hey, what do you think?”

“I…” Black-Sheep really couldn’t speak, because he also felt things were somewhat too absurd.

Earth-Monkey suppressed his smile and said: “For all ‘Divine Beasts,’ the location of their eyes is top secret, after all, that’s their only weakness. But this woman, in order to prove her ‘Divine Beast’ status, directly displayed her eyes for everyone to see.”

“I feel we can’t use a smart person’s logic to deduce her behavior…” Black-Sheep shook his head and said. “The smarter someone is, the more incomprehensible her behavior will be… She perhaps doesn’t realize at all that others can now destroy those eyes.”

“But you don’t have the strength, and I don’t want to do it.” Earth-Monkey said. “She will ultimately remain unharmed.”

While Black-Sheep and Earth-Monkey were conversing, the many “Participant Levels” before them were already stunned by this scene.

“Really a ‘Divine Beast’?” A “Participant Level” stared at her back and murmured. “Only ‘Divine Beasts’ would have this many eyes…”

“At least four abilities…”

Xiao Ran heard the waves of exclamations and couldn’t suppress the upward curve of her lips. She shook her clothes and draped them back over her shoulders: “Now you know how formidable I am… So can you report to me now? What exactly is the situation?”

At this moment, a “Participant Level” pointed at Black-Sheep: “Report to the ‘Divine Beast,’ it’s him! He’s a traitor! He needs to be executed immediately!”

“Traitor…?” Xiao Ran turned her face to look at Black-Sheep.

Earth-Monkey scratched his head upon seeing this: “How should I say this… seeing you two have some friendship, she should help you, right?”

Black-Sheep snorted coldly, and his eyes also became filled with murderous intent: “I think not necessarily.”
