'Someone actually dared to snatch my prize right from under my nose. They must have a death wish…'
At that moment, all traces of a smile gone, the middle-aged man stared grimly at the muddy little pond.
Just as he was about to set off and hunt down the detestable fellow who dug up the Spirit Plant, an explosive roar echoed from behind him.
"ROAR—"
"You treacherous, despicable human! Die!!!"
With bloodshot eyes, the black ape Mutant Beast descended from the sky, crashing down like a cannonball toward the middle-aged man standing by the small pond.
BOOM.
The middle-aged man dodged the black ape Mutant Beast's furious strike and flew into mid-air. He said to the enraged beast, "Someone took advantage of our fight and secretly dug up the Spirit Plant."
The black ape Mutant Beast's landing smashed a meter-deep crater into the ground.
