“You motherfucker finally realize it’s impossible to solve now?”

Upon seeing the task content, Colin couldn’t help but curse under his breath, wondering what the hell the upper echelons of the company were thinking, why they didn’t resolve it when they were outside, and only mentioned it was impossible through internal avenues after they had come in.

“Damn! They really don’t care about our lives…”

“Loafing Immortal” and others couldn’t help but curse the company’s method after reading the information.

They likewise couldn’t comprehend what the corporate higher-ups were thinking…

If this “Passionate Paradise” instance truly couldn’t be resolved, then so be it.

But looking at the content, it seemed not unsolvable; it seemed like it could be resolved with just an authorization issuance.

Then why not issue the authorization and start solving it?

Instead, let it rot for who knows how many years, harming who knows how many fine youths.

However, after complaining for a few sentences, everyone could feel that this task brought with it a particularly special guidance in their hearts.

“If there are no surprises, it should be the path to ‘Snow Mountain.'”

Colin was very familiar with this kind of guidance. He looked in the direction it pointed and felt that it should be possible to escape this predicament.

“Is ‘1-24 ‘Formless Mother” the thing that is currently locking onto me? Or is it something else?”

Colin vaguely realized something, but what he didn’t understand was why on the seventh day, they still had to summon this thing?

Was he just idly looking for trouble?

His attention shifted to the “Subsidiary Document.”

It was filled with dense precautions, and reading them in detail right now was certainly not appropriate.

With something constantly nearing behind him, though he guessed it was probably “1-24 ‘Formless Mother,'” being right wouldn’t change anything.

The task required him to be at Snow Mountain within the seven days, to summon only when the bell sounded, not now.

Taking a deep breath, Colin collected his thoughts and began to lead the group on the run again, this time with the guidance of the mission, and there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Yet, after running for a while and seeing the familiar scene ahead, Colin and the others stopped in their tracks and fell silent.

“So they haven’t solved the ‘Ghost-Hitting-the-Wall’ problem, huh! They just give us a task without any real help.”

Colin couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub his forehead; he had thought that once the task appeared, the problem would be solved.

There was no way to expect that Bonfire Company would only throw out a task without providing anything else.

As time went on, even Dog Brother and the others began to clearly sense a terrifying entity approaching.

“Let’s take a break; take this…”

Colin looked at the exhausted faces of the group, especially Dog Brother, who was pale from blood loss and continuous travel, was about to hand over the “Gluttony Power Mark” so that the humanoid self-propelled signal amplifier named Dog Brother could repair himself.

But before he could finish his sentence, a blurry image emerged in his mind—

A dark cloud descended from above, engulfing him and everything else inside.

Deadly Insight!

“Be careful!”

Colin was startled, quickly pinching out the Golden Card, activating Time Stop, and then with a swoop, sent all five people flying out.

After that, he didn’t even have time to see what was on top of his head…

Taking advantage of the last second, he burst forth with all his strength, rolling and leaping out at least ten meters away.

“Da da da…”

When Time Stop ended, Colin saw a dark cloud, as dense as a black cotton ball, landing where they had just been…

Upon touching the ground, the dark cloud immediately dispersed and vanished, as if it had never been there.

And also disappeared was the too-late-to-evacuate “Smiling Mountain of Corpses,” which was enveloped and covered by the dark cloud, and was erased without even a chance to let out a scream.

“Damn, where’s the Corpse Mountain?!”

Dog Brother and the others, baffled and fallen to the ground, became even more baffled after seeing that their two-ton cutie had vanished.

However, after noticing the dark cloud, they couldn’t help shivering.

Realizing Brother Shunzi might have led them to avoid another lethal attack…

And at the same time, they belatedly and fearfully discovered that the dark clouds above the dome had descended quite a bit, as if clinging to their scalps, causing an extraordinary sense of oppression in their hearts.

After the “Smiling Mountain of Corpses” was forcibly sent back to the Storage Room to wait for cooldown, a multitude of severed heads that had previously been just hovering began to attack from all directions, dragging their spines.

“Damn it!”

At this point, Colin would have no problem saving himself, but he still had four slightly useful but not very useful moving eyes with him…

Clenching his teeth, he commanded the “Yukionna” to erect a wall of ice, and then he took out several 5L bottles of Blended Oil from his pocket and flung them out.

Amid the crisp sound of shattering glass, the Blended Oil splashed all over the ground.

Then, he took out a magnesium rod match and struck it hard on the ground…

“Boom!”

A deep red flame burst into existence, engulfing the numerous flying heads.

Colin raised his hand, holding the Ring of Flame Dominance, and after a moment’s hesitation, he used the item that made him curse more than once again…

In the next second, the flames on the ground within a ten-meter radius seemed to come to life, consuming all the heads around.

The stench of burnt hair and flesh caused by the flames began to spread everywhere with the smoke…

“Indeed, this item is for the Firebearer’s exclusive use…”

Colin felt a not so intense burning sensation on his body, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and silently thanked Lady Bunny.

With the flames set up by the “Flame Dominator,” the frost of the “Yukionna,” and the finishing blows from Dog Brother and others, they could hold on for the time being.

Only, this support seemed somewhat meaningless in the face of the endless heads…

Especially the dreadful sense of oppression that was drawing closer from afar, which filled them with despair.

Looking at the deadlocked situation in front of him, Colin’s heart sank deeper.

And it was at this moment that a noise from his stomach, the sound of hunger, resonated.

“Hunger is a biological instinct, don’t suppress it anymore, don’t resist it anymore…”

“Eat! Eat! Devour them! Digest them! Let them become your nourishment!”

“You still have a chance to choose before that thing arrives…”

“Call me, summon me, all the troubles here will no longer be troubles…”

“Gluttonous Buddha says: eat, eat, eat!”
