"Baron, please don't be too sad. You must remember to take care of yourself."
Noticing this crucial dungeon NPC was in a very bad state, Wang Zhifan's eyes were filled with concern at this moment, and he didn't just say it verbally — he immediately took corresponding action.
He quickly took out a very small cubic speaker from his pocket. This cubic speaker had been playing a kind of soaring background music in his pocket earlier, an excellent-grade equipment, George's magical speaker.
He then set the playlist of this small speaker to start playing BGM2 at maximum volume.
In previous uses of this equipment, Wang Zhifan had always played BGM1 and had never played BGM2 in dungeon practice. The difference was that the effect of BGM1's enhancement only applied to him personally, whereas BGM2 was also effective for allied parties.
But there seemed to be no allies around Wang Zhifan at this time, so what was his purpose in activating BGM2 now?
As the background music different from BGM1 suddenly sounded, Wang Zhifan noticed that Mr. Roge, whom he controlled, was not affected by this music. He still lay on the ground with a death-like pallor, his luxurious clothes slowly dyed red by the blood continually seeping from his wounds, clearly not having long to live.
"Baron! You are a very important partner to me! You must pull yourself together!"
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan then said to the man lying on the ground with a sincerely emotional voice, treating him like a friend with both tone and expression. He even withdrew the icy power he had been exerting on him, not knowing what plan he had in mind.
Lo and behold, this shift suddenly enabled George's magical speaker's BGM2 to affect Mr. Roge lying on the ground!
Mr. Roge's wounds began to heal at a high speed, and the blood that was continuously flowing out from the bleeding effect stopped quickly, leaving him with only blood-stained clothes intact. His body rapidly healed all injuries!
"Haha, it indeed works. Whether someone is an ally can be completely designated by me."
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan understood in his heart. Upon confirming that Mr. Roge's injuries were already healed by BGM2, he then stopped the playback of this track and put George's magical speaker back in his pocket.
He then gazed at the nobleman in front of him who still looked lifeless, and spoke softly:
"Baron, if you don't get up, I will have to offend you."
He said this as he stood up, drew Tulimor's Whip hanging from his belt, and flicked it to produce a resounding crack in the air.
Yet this weapon, which had recently caused Mr. Roge a considerable degree of pain and fear, did not elicit any noticeable reaction from him at this moment. He continued to lie on the cold floor like a dead fish, eyes vacant as he stared at the black sky, his face appearing quite pale under the moonlight.
"Well, I can only offend you now."
Aware that this man had been manipulated by him into an abnormal state, Wang Zhifan then took further action. He suddenly controlled the ice power to attack the man's head, but kept the attack intensity precisely controlled, causing little substantive damage and merely making him fall into a coma, akin to falling asleep.
"This should do it... Haha... Thought I'd kill him? I'm not that daring..."
Having done all this, Wang Zhifan coldly laughed in his heart.
The reason he suddenly changed his attitude towards Mr. Roge from initially wanting to chop him into pieces to merely rendering him unconscious and even healing his injuries, was because he very much suspected that this man was the biggest trap in this dungeon! A trap specifically set for him!
Consider for a moment, could an NPC with an ordinary background hold a sacrificial ritual to obtain such divine items as Supreme Blood from hell and the abyss? If anyone could perform such a sacrificial ritual to achieve this, then there should be very few living beings left in this dungeon world, and those remaining should all be little superhumans with Supreme Blood.
But based on what Wang Zhifan observed currently, this world is not like that. Most of the inhabitants here are ordinary humans, and even those who exceed ordinary humans are not extremely strong. Wang Zhifan is quite sure they do not possess Supreme Blood.
Thus, it can be inferred that this so-called Baron Roge is not as simple as his surface identity suggests. He can't be just a mere Baron, nor can he merely be a supposed heir of the Rogge Clan. He absolutely has a deeper connection to hell and the abyss!
Therefore, should Wang Zhifan rashly kill him, he might attract unexpected risks, facing pressure from unknown forces in hell and the abyss! The only secure scheme for Wang Zhifan is to contain him gently, keeping him stable, while preventing him from making further contact with the outside world.
"This dungeon is definitely not as simple as I've experienced so far. I've already sensed the huge dangers hiding beneath its mundane surface. In the coming days, I must be vigilant, preferring to quit while ahead and not stir up more trouble."
When he bent down to pick up the nobleman from the ground, Wang Zhifan made up his mind, determining his course of action for the coming days.
This strategic shift was substantial. When he came here seeking revenge on Mr. Roge, he had intended to torture him to death and then go on a monster-killing spree to earn as many rewards as possible. But after acquiring Supreme Blood, his enhanced life essence made him aware of additional things, glimpsing the surging undercurrents beneath this world's surface, forcing him to adopt a more conservative strategy.
So, afterward, Wang Zhifan carried Mr. Roge out of the high tower, left the monster-infested Rogge Town, and took the comatose man to the wilderness, finding a hidden spot to dig a pit and arrange him in it.
Saying "arrange" rather than "bury" is because Wang Zhifan really dared not kill him, not wanting to trigger uncertain risks as a result. The pit he dug was not sealed, with vents left open, and the temperature was quite suitable, merely blocking him inside such that he wouldn't face any life-threatening danger in the next few days.
After hiding this guy securely, to be cautious, Wang Zhifan also concealed a Dream Me Avatar around him for monitoring. Should the man wake up mid-process or if someone came to find him, Wang Zhifan would immediately be informed, and the Dream Me Avatar would be able to respond accordingly.
Once everything was arranged, Wang Zhifan returned to Rogge Town and started clearing elite monsters while also searching for useful items in Rogge Town, such as the storeroom of rare equipment he had seen yesterday.
This process doesn't need much elaboration — with Wang Zhifan's current strength, those monsters were only subjects to be instantly killed by him, posing no threat whatsoever. He didn't have the spare time or intention to eliminate all monsters, choosing instead to wear the Wind Concealing Conical Hat in stealth mode to seek key targets, making the safety level quite high.
However, during this clearing process, he quickly made some rather unexpected discoveries.
