223: Chapter 223 Not part of the game world?

“What energy?” Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Xiao twitched his nose, pointing at Chen Fan's chest:

“There.”

“Here?”

Chen Fan frowned.

His chest was exactly where his system space was located.

Could it be that there was something inside that Xiao Xiao was interested in?

Chen Fan took a look at him, and various supplies kept appearing in his hands.

Xiao Xiao shook his head repeatedly: “Not this, not this either...”

After a long time, his eyes widened: “This is it!”

Chen Fan looked at the giants heart in his hand and handed it over doubtfully:

“This is a giants heart, you want this?”

This giants heart had been obtained earlier in the cave on Unicorn Savage Island.

Chen Fan had never known the purpose of this thing.

A trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes as he took the giants heart.

After staring at it for a moment, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp.

[Ding!]

[Crew Member: Mountain Ridge Giant swallowed the giants heart, the giant bloodline in its body has begun to awaken.]

[Mountain Ridge Giant (SS-Class): Body size can be switched between 1 meter and 1000 meters. The larger the size, the stronger the attack power.]

A moment later.

A high-pitched roar erupted from Xiao Xiao's throat.

His one-meter-tall body expanded rapidly again.

Ten meters.

One hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

One thousand meters!

The Mountain Ridge Giant stopped expanding only after reaching a height of one thousand meters.

Its massive size even pierced through the ceiling of this underground space.

The ground began to collapse, and dust and rubble rained down everywhere.

“Damn, run!”

Chen Fan exclaimed, retracted his other Crew Members, and was just about to activate the Spirit Realm to escape.

“No need to run, Master. I will take you out.”

Xiao Xiao lowered his voice, but the terrifying rumbling sound still left Chen Fan dizzy.

Looking at the palm Xiao Xiao placed on the ground, Chen Fan jumped onto it.

Immediately, Xiao Xiao's seven-hundred-meter-long legs kicked the ground hard.

His body flew towards the sky like a cannonball.

The night wind whistled as the two crossed a distance of several thousand meters and landed on the ground.

Boom—

Xiao Xiao's two-hundred-meter-long foot slammed heavily into the ground.

Suddenly, a massive shockwave emanated from where he landed, blowing away all the surrounding trees.

“This power is too terrifying, right?”

Chen Fan stared at the surroundings, dumbfounded.

If this were during a siege battle, wouldn't this Mountain Ridge Giant turn the enemy's city upside down the moment it landed?

Right, HP!

Chen Fan immediately opened his attribute panel.

[HP: 100,000 - 1,000,000]

[Attack Power: 1,000 - 100,000]

Chen Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

In other words, with a full-force attack, Xiao Xiao could sink a destroyer with a single slap!

“Good stuff, truly good stuff.”

Chen Fan patted Xiao Xiao's finger hard, “Shrink down, we still need to rush back to sweep the city.”

Xiao Xiao nodded and placed Chen Fan on the ground. Immediately, his body shrank rapidly like a deflating balloon.

Before long, it had shrunk to a height of about one meter.

“Let's go, you'll have your chance to shine when the Daytime Instance arrives.”

Chen Fan smiled slightly and retracted Xiao Xiao back into the Crew Member space.

Just then, his private messages “beeped”.

“What's wrong?”

“Brother, you're still alive! You scared me to death, wuwuwu.”

As soon as the voice call connected, Jiu Jiu said with a crying tone.

Chen Fan was a little confused, “What do you mean alive or not? I'm alive, how could I be dead?”

“Where did you go just now, Brother? Your avatar has been gray for a long time.”

“Ah?”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

The avatar turned gray?

Just now? Wasn't he just doing Exploration in the underground passage?

Wait a minute...

Could it be?!

Chen Fan snapped his fingers and immediately ran toward the entrance of the underground passage, while sending a video call request to Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu connected immediately.

“Wait a moment, I'll try again, see if my avatar turns gray again.”

“Okay.”

Although she didn't know what Chen Fan was trying to test, Jiu Jiu nodded obediently.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, looked at the dark passage below, and jumped into it once again.

The moment he entered the passage, the video call was disconnected.

Chen Fan's eyes flashed.

Sure enough!

He jumped out of the passage, and the system interface returned to normal.

He requested a video chat again, and Jiu Jiu answered instantly.

“Brother's avatar turned gray again just now, what happened?”

Chen Fan chuckled, “I'm not sure, but I have some guesses. I just entered an underground passage, and the signal cut off. Guess what the situation might be?”

“Underground passage? Is there something inside?”

“I recruited another SS-Class Crew Member, but it's a bit special; this Crew Member seems to have been imprisoned inside.”

“Imprisoned?”

Jiu Jiu frowned slightly, and after a moment, her expression changed: “But going offline means leaving the game world, could it be...”

“Could it be that the underground passage doesn't belong to the game area?”

Chen Fan chuckled and said the guess for Jiu Jiu.

“Uh-huh!” Jiu Jiu nodded repeatedly, “It's possible.”

“I think so too. It seems there are still many things we don't know about this game world.”

Chen Fan muttered to himself, flipping onto the Mechanical Dragon.

“Perhaps this world isn't just a pure survival world as we thought before.”

“Yeah, take it slow, we'll figure it all out sooner or later.”

Chen Fan nodded slightly, his eyes slowly narrowing, and his breathing became long and steady.

On the other side, seeing this, Jiu Jiu also quietly hung up the video call.

As for Chen Fan disappearing from the leaderboard twice, only a very few people noticed.

The first time they noticed the number one on the leaderboard, the name china disappeared, they were stunned for a while.

Just as they rubbed their eyes and checked again, china mysteriously appeared again.

So they stared wide-eyed at the leaderboard.

After a while, china disappeared again, and reappeared after a few seconds.

Those people stared at the leaderboard as if they had seen a ghost.

However, more than an hour passed, and the previous changes never happened again.

So they thought they were seeing things, or that the system had a problem, and closed the leaderboard to busy themselves with their own affairs.

But there was one exception.

“What is this china doing again.”

Sky Eye stared at the leaderboard, muttering to himself.

...

“Boss, you're finally back.”

As soon as he landed, several team leaders surrounded him, observing the Mechanical Dragon with envy.

In the nearly four hours that Chen Fan disappeared, they had searched the military camp on the coast thoroughly.

All usable supplies had been collected.

At this moment, they were looking at Chen Fan with burning eyes, waiting for Chen Fan's order to march into the city.

Watched by countless eyes, Chen Fan smiled slightly and jumped off the Mechanical Dragon.

Immediately, he waved his hand:

“March towards the city, but be careful not to disturb the ordinary residents.”

“Yeah! Boss is awesome!”

“Understood! We only want resources, we will not disrupt the city's order!”
