"Not coming out, huh? Let me up the intensity for you!"

Seeing that his soft persuasion had no effect, Master Fox hoisted the RPG onto his shoulder and fired a shot at the second-floor slab of the ruin for one final deterrent.

If Romano didn't come out, he would set the entire second floor of the ruin ablaze.

After all, Wang Qiqi had said before that the integrity of the ruin didn't matter; the most crucial thing was to ensure no documents were taken overseas.

"Boom——"

Master Fox pulled the trigger, and a missile trailing fire blasted directly into the second-floor slab of the ruin, creating a brilliant display of fireworks.

[With eyes sharp as a needle, Master Fox instantly spotted the tomb raider's location and fired an RPG shot that directly broke the thief's leg.]

[Protect important Xia Country artifacts, Wish Power +3]

"???"

As the RPG fired, Ansheng had barely registered the lingering smell of gunpowder when a golden flash suddenly appeared in his mind.

The dazzling golden light, in that moment, in Ansheng's eyes, looked like the golden headshot indicator from a domestic shooting game he used to play.

"Ah——"

Master Fox's RPG hadn't directly hit Romano but had landed at his feet, and the intense explosive shockwave swept over him, raising the camouflaged scales on his body.

The lizard-like Romano screamed, smoke rising from his entire body as he crashed to the ground, flailing wildly.

"Hey! Romano!"

Momentarily stunned by the mental prompt, Master Fox snapped back to reality with Romano's scream, dug in his heels, and shouted at Romano, gripping the rocket launcher tightly.

Hearing someone call his name, Romano, whose camouflage reverted to its original green, instinctively glanced over while trying to extinguish the flames on him. However, in the corner of his eye, he only saw a cylindrical object coming towards his face.

That thing... was it a rocket launcher? Thoughts flickered in Romano's mind, and he was lifted off the ground, unable to react, spiraling as Master Fox struck him, embedding him deeply into the wall, like a painting.

"Wow——"

Master Fox looked at the rocket launcher stick; the entire rocket launcher was twisted and deformed, the area that collided with Romano completely flattened and broken.

But on the flattened steel plate, a deep-featured face with high cheekbones was left imprinted on it.

Ansheng glanced at the steel panel's face, then at Romano, now turned into a wall fixture.

The face imprint on the steel was deep and carried some traces of lizard scales. Although a bit odd, it was evident that it was a young European guy.

Yet, Romano, turned into a painting, had his nasal bone collapsed and skewed to one side, with a seemingly broken brow bone, making his originally deep eye sockets appear protruding.

Master Fox's swing transformed a handsome European guy into a Southeast Asian face, changing his ethnicity.

"Let's go, let's go......"

After a moment's amazement, Ansheng quickly tiptoed out of the diesel-covered area.

"........"

Meanwhile, Bena's demeanor darkened slightly upon seeing Romano's exposure and subsequent defeat by Master Fox's lethal strike.

Romano had fallen, and some documents recently excavated and yet to be sorted could not be taken out.

This ruin was far too ancient, the surviving textual records were more abstract than oracle bone script, and extensive research and deduction were needed for deciphering, even requiring consultation with some Xia Country language and archaeology experts.

For contents not even in the database, letting AI deduce them is futile; manual deciphering is necessary.

......

With Romano's defeat, the Golden Leopard released its tight grip on the Spiritual Particle Metal Door.

The transformed leopard woman, Wang Qiqi, squeezed through the door seam into the second floor of the ruin, and the Golden Leopard hurriedly shut the door.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Bena..."

Wang Qiqi took out a syringe and directly jabbed it into Bena's shoulder. The detector lit up green on the syringe's side after scanning, confirming Bena's genetic sequence remained that of a normal human, without undergoing genetic editing.

"Mmmmmm....."

Bena, with her mouth blocked by Master Fox, let out two dim whimpers.

Nonetheless, Wang Qiqi ignored her, conducting checks on everyone in the ruin one by one, ruling out the possibility of Beast Warriors. Once done, the Snake Woman entered, commanding the Cauliflower Yuan Spear Head Snake Spirit Beast to spray neurotoxin and forcibly incapacitate the researchers here.

The neurotoxin was not in lethal quantities, only causing muscle weakness and loss of mobility.

"Leopard, help me, the person is stuck on the wall."

"Apply a debuff to him."

The Woodcutter came in to clear the site, tagging everyone still breathing with snake venom and neatly lining them up on the concrete surface outside the ruin. Meanwhile, the Monkey King, concealed in the prior tunnel, monitored with a sniper rifle.

"Master Fox! The auntie outside said to bring you a message, and here's your sugarcane cola....." The macaque emerged from the tunnel, shouting into the ruin.

"Huh?"

Ansheng, counting the Wish Power earnings, paused slightly at the macaque's playful calling.

"What's the message?"

"The auntie mentioned Miss Lin is here and told me to inform Master Fox." The macaque chattered, throwing the glass bottle of ice-cold cola to Ansheng.

Ansheng caught the flying ice cola, and with a flick of his fox claw, opened the bottle.

"Alright! Tell her I'll be right up once I finish things here, and also pass a message to Lin Ying from Master Fox that I have a surprise for her later."

Ansheng told the macaque, and after smashing the heads of three Forest Wolves and burning the lizard, unknowingly, he had amassed enough Wish Power to light up five tails.

Ansheng initially planned to accumulate enough Wish Power to advance to five tails before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

Then, upon returning to Xia Dong, he intended to fulfill the promise made with Lin Ying.

That is, notify her to celebrate the event once he grows a new tail.

When advancing to four tails previously, Ansheng felt a pervasive itchiness.

Five tails..... should be quite significant.

However, Ansheng wasn't sure if his gamble on boosting Physique would succeed this time.

He had amassed over twenty Wish Power points.

It was an experience he had never had before, and Ansheng feared he might be overwhelmed with excitement.

"Hey!"

Master Fox stood up, carrying a bottle of ice cola, and walked towards Wang Qiqi, intending to ask about their excavation plans for the ruin and if the banner was ready.

Even though he didn't need the banner himself, it wouldn't stop Lin Ying from helping him obtain it and the prize, right?

Besides that, Ansheng also planned to test slapping Romano a couple of times, making him wish for something, to see if he could uncover any information.

"Bena....."

Wang Ya approached Bena.

By this point, Bena was affected by snake venom and was tightly bound by Wang Qiqi. Lying on the ground, only her eyes could move slightly. Seeing Wang Ya standing before her, looking at her with a sorrowful face, Bena mustered a bit of strength and murmured, her voice full of weakness and slightly hoarse, smiled and said:

"By....."

"By fox electricity... it feels awesome."

"You definitely haven't experienced it, you're too shy..."

Wang Ya: "......."

"Is this really the time to be talking nonsense? You've committed espionage! You could face the death penalty!"
