Little did he expect that when he initially approached this seemingly plump crab, it was like a sheep dallying before a wolf, necessitating his utmost vigilance.
Had the Poison Apprentice made more extensive preparations before approaching him? He retorted, "On the contrary, I want to ask you, why do you have two different appearances? Ke Lin and Empty City, completely distinct."
