Su Fan's invisibility effect also disappeared at this moment.
Su Fan's figure reappeared far in front of the red-haired old man.
The red-haired old man was immediately enraged.
"You dare to toy with me, die!"
The red-haired old man roared in anger and lunged towards Su Fan.
"Hey! Look at your head!"
Su Fan shouted loudly from a distance, cupping his hands around his mouth.
The red-haired old man felt a shadow fall on his head and looked up in confusion.
A massive fireball appeared in his vision.
The angry expression on the red-haired old man's face froze instantly, shifting from rage to sheer terror.
(▼へ▼メ)
(￣ー￣)
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
The red-haired old man had no time to react as the fiery meteor smashed down directly in front of his face.
Su Fan watched as the red-haired old man was struck by the meteor and then burned to ashes by the intense heat.
A wave of heat washed over him, ruffling Su Fan's clothes.
However, due to Su Fan's distance, it caused no substantial damage, just a bit of warmth.
[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up]
Su Fan leveled up again, reaching level 48.
Now, only one of the Four Great Monsters remained. Even if Su Fan defeated him, he likely wouldn't gain any more experience. A level 50 boss was no longer enough to make Su Fan level up.
This upgrade was primarily due to the remaining experience from the bandits in the previous stronghold, combined with the experience from a level 50 boss.
Su Fan was mainly interested in the boss's loot, but he couldn't enter the area yet and had to wait.
He could only enter after the flames inside subsided.
Before that, Su Fan extinguished the surrounding flames to prevent a forest fire.
The residents of Fenglei Town also came running out at this time, but they were a bit late. If the meteor had landed in Fenglei Town, they would have all been doomed.
Witnessing the terrifying destruction caused by the meteor, everyone was shocked. Fortunately, it hadn't fallen into Fenglei Town.
"My heavens, the rumors are true! Could this be divine power descending?"
Some began to believe the earlier rumors, attributing it to divine intervention.
"So, the red-haired old man is dead?"
Some were unsure, as they hadn't seen the red-haired old man die.
"I can testify!"
At this moment, the young man stepped forward.
"I saw the red-haired old man chasing someone out of town, in this direction."
The young man recounted what he had witnessed.
"The red-haired old man is really dead?"
Some believed the young man's words. Before the meteor appeared, people had seen the red-haired old man acting erratically, but no one was dead at the time. This suggested the red-haired old man hadn't gone on a killing spree, implying only one possibility: the red-haired old man was dead.
Yet, everyone still found it hard to believe. Why? Was there truly a god in this world?
They began to firmly believe in the divine power theory. Why else would a meteor specifically strike down a bad person? Three of the Four Great Monsters had been successively struck down. This couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
"Who was that person? Why was the red-haired old man chasing him? Could he actually escape from the red-haired old man?"
Some noticed the key information in the young man's words – the person being chased by the red-haired old man.
Who could escape the pursuit of the red-haired old man? Such a person would undoubtedly be a renowned figure in the martial world; ordinary people would never possess such ability.
"I... I don't know."
How could the young man know Su Fan's identity? He shook his head. He didn't even know if Su Fan was still alive.
The area inside was like a fiery inferno, and they couldn't enter to see what was happening, only watch from afar.
Su Fan waited until the temperature inside dropped before entering.
As expected, an item dropped.
Purple Heart Crown (Blue)
Level: 50
Unidentified
Fifty-level unidentified equipment, not bad.
Only one piece of equipment dropped this time, quite stingy compared to Old Wind Monster.
Su Fan put the equipment away.
From a distance, the people outside saw a figure in the meteor crater, but they couldn't see clearly due to the distance.
"That person looks like the one the red-haired old man was chasing!"
The young man had sharp eyes and recognized Su Fan based on his build.
"He's not dead? And he can go in?"
They were shocked.
Although the flames inside had extinguished, they still didn't dare to enter rashly. The ground temperature was still very high. Su Fan was fine due to his 10% resistance, but these people were not.
After obtaining the equipment, Su Fan walked directly towards the crowd.
Seeing Su Fan approaching, these people became somewhat panicked.
"He... he's coming!"
Someone exclaimed in fear.
They were afraid Su Fan would be the next red-haired old man, and if he was also a murderer, none of them would escape.
"Everyone run!"
Someone, unable to bear the fear, suddenly screamed and fled.
The others were also flustered, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. He's probably a good person. He even warned me to run earlier."
At this point, the young man stepped forward and voluntarily explained for Su Fan.
He remembered Su Fan, while being chased, had still warned him to escape. Someone who could do that was unlikely to be a bad person.
His words immediately put others at ease.
Su Fan walked up to the crowd, his expressionless.
"Does anyone know where Greed is?"
Su Fan asked them.
Greed was one of the last Four Great Monsters. Unlike the other three, Greed was a middle-aged胖子 (pàngzi - fat person), who looked harmless. From his appearance alone, it was hard to tell his connection to the Four Great Monsters.
The crowd exchanged glances, all shaking their heads in confusion.
Greed was the most mysterious, and no one knew where he was.
"I... I know."
The young man from before hesitantly raised his hand and said.
Su Fan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected someone to actually know.
"You've seen him?"
Su Fan looked at the young man.
"No, but I know his identity. I accidentally overheard a conversation between the red-haired old man and Greed earlier."
The young man explained to Su Fan.
The red-haired old man had been living in Fenglei Town for a long time. Greed had visited Fenglei Town and met with the red-haired old man, and he had accidentally overheard their conversation.
During the conversation, he had learned Greed's true identity.
"Oh? What identity?"
Su Fan asked with some curiosity.
The original plot did not provide any information about Greed's identity, only that he was a level 50 boss. After defeating the Four Great Monsters one by one, an achievement would be completed and rewards would be given.
In this world, Su Fan would need to find Greed's true identity to locate him.
"He's the brother of the Minister of Revenue, his own brother, working in the Ministry of Revenue. His name is Li Fangyuan."
The young man thought for a moment and replied to Su Fan.
