Fang Wen?
"Where did you go?"
Chen Ran's brows lifted slightly as he asked.
Fang Wen scratched his head and replied, "I just went to the restroom over there."
Chen Ran nodded.
"So, are we heading up the mountain now?"
Ever since the incident on Sanjiang Mountain, the number of tourists had visibly decreased.
However, fewer tourists meant it was indeed very friendly for people like Chen Ran who were here to 'explore.'
"Sure."
Fang Wen nodded.
A slight curve formed on Chen Ran's lips.
He noticed that Fang Wen seemed somewhat unusual today.
He had been very quiet since they met.
It was a complete extreme compared to how talkative he was on the phone.
Fang Wen was not someone who was easily embarrassed.
He was skilled at online chats.
And just as much so in person.
The word 'social anxiety' was completely incompatible with Fang Wen.
Chen Ran pondered the strange individual who had appeared on Sanjiang Mountain.
He immediately recalled the plot of Kamen Rider from his memory.
The more he thought about it, the more surprised he was.
He actually found a clue.
Centipede Undead from the Kamen Rider Blade world possessed such abilities.
Centipede Undead often lurked in caves.
They specifically targeted unsuspecting individuals.
The venom's lethality wasn't particularly strong.
It wasn't a swift deadly poison.
But for ordinary humans, this toxin was a disaster.
It could pierce the human immune system.
Leading to various complications.
And eventually, death.
Furthermore, it was difficult to develop an antidote.
But Chen Ran wasn't worried about this.
The close-combat ability of the Centipede Undead was truly eye-watering.
Besides the venom used for ambushing from hiding.
The creature was a complete rookie.
It could be dealt with easily.
In short, it wouldn't be too troublesome.
Finally, Chen Ran's gaze settled on the 'Fang Wen' before him. He and Fang Wen were very close brothers and friends, knowing each other extremely well.
Moreover, he hadn't been idle during the ten days he spent in the Kabuto world.
He was very familiar with monsters of the Alien Wanzer type.
After Alien Wanzers mimicked someone, they could eerily replicate their memories.
Therefore.
Once an Alien Wzer had completely consumed someone as food, it could maintain that person's appearance and continue to live. And due to the replication of memories, it could mimic them almost flawlessly.
But this was merely in the settings.
A thousand faces for a thousand people.
This description was fitting for Alien Wanzers.
Alien Wanzers were numerous.
But not every Alien Wazer was exactly the same.
Some Alien Wanzers were excellent actors, while others were slightly less so.
And the latter were more numerous than the former.
The Fang Wen before him.
Was not him.
On his body...
In Chen Ran's eyes, an insect-like, nauseating aura permeated and spread.
He was an Alien Wazer mimic!
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a while. Before heading up the mountain, how about a good fight?"
Chen Ran said with a playful tone.
At the same time, he took out the Decade Driver and held it in his hand.
"Let's Henshin!"
He placed the driver on his waist.
Simultaneously, a belt automatically extended backward.
'Fang Wen' was immediately greatly alarmed.
"Chen... Chen Ran, what are you doing?"
Chen Ran shook his head.
He glanced at Fang Wen.
"Stop acting. I could smell your scent from a long distance away."
A card with the Decade pattern was inserted by Chen Ran into the driver.
It was sucked in perfectly.
He pushed his hands outward to the sides.
The gem in the center of the driver immediately swirled like a reversed river.
"Henshin!"
"Kamen Ride-"
Boom boom boom!
