226: Chapter 226 Clockwork Goblin, The Mysterious Black Hole

Little came out in response.

The moment it landed, under Chen Fan's command, it slammed its hands downward.

"Roar—"

With a roar, the hard floor tiles were instantly chiseled through by its hands.

As expected.

A pitch-black hole appeared in the trio's line of sight.

After discovering that Chen Fan's avatar had turned gray, Jiu Jiu ran over immediately.

The two exchanged a glance, and Chen Fan first sent dozens of Crew Members holding super energy novas down to scout the path.

Before long, the Crew Members had formed a net-like formation, just waiting for Chen Fan to go down.

"I'll go in myself, you wait outside."

Jiu Jiu shook her head stubbornly, "No, I'm going with Brother."

"This..."

"Aiya, stop with the 'this' and 'that', there's not enough time, let's go in quickly, I'm also very curious about what's inside."

Jiu Jiu pushed Chen Fan, insisting on following him in.

Chen Fan could only shrug helplessly, and holding Jiu Jiu, he jumped down.

With the experience from last time, Chen Fan summoned hundreds of Crew Members again and quickly advanced inward.

In just five minutes, the group walked quickly to the end of the passage.

The same structure, the same array.

A metal barrel, slightly smaller than the one that held the Mountain Ridge Giant, was placed in the very center.

Chen Fan didn't say a word, took out twenty long sabers, and commanded the Crew Members to rush in.

Under continuous hacking and slashing, the metal barrel soon fell to pieces.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and carefully examined the pile of parts that had fallen out.

Or rather, a pile of scrap metal.

"What is this?"

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"Shh..."

Chen Fan held Jiu Jiu and quietly retreated a few steps.

Suddenly.

A clicking sound rang out, and the scrap metal parts scattered on the ground gradually began to assemble.

A moment later, a strange creature less than half a meter tall stood up.

"Click click click click—"

[Mm, so hungry...]

Devils Whisper took effect again.

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth lifted slightly as he took out two bottles and gestured with them.

"There aren't many positions, come quickly, room and board included."

To make himself more credible, Chen Fan specifically summoned Little.

When it saw the one-meter-tall Little, the half-meter-tall creature's eyes lit up:

"Click click crunch crunch click—"

[Little? You've awakened too?]

"Aowu ou you—"

[Come quickly, big spender, room and board included.]

The half-meter creature's eyes lit up again, and it waddled over.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, increased the energy in the bottles to five thousand, and threw them out.

With a click, the half-meter creature chewed up the bottles and swallowed them.

[Ding!]

[Countdown: Five minutes.]

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and extended his right hand:

"No time left, don't resist, I'll take you out."

"Recruit!"

The half-meter creature tilted its head, looked at Chen Fan, and then looked at Little.

Then it nodded.

[Recruitment successful, new Crew Member: Clockwork Goblin Ruituocuipu (S-rank)]

[Skill 1: Cruise Missile, Ruituocuipu launches a cruise missile, dealing massive damage to the target area, dispelling all black mist, and illuminating stealth units. Strike Range: Worldwide.]

Holy crap!

Chen Fan exclaimed.

Strike range worldwide?

Do you think you're a Dongfeng-5?

But this name, Clockwork Goblin?

Isn't this the option that appeared when choosing one of three Crew Members earlier?

How could it be locked up here?

Countless questions arose in Chen Fan's mind.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to lament.

He put the Clockwork Goblin into his space and gave a low shout of "Little".

Instantly, the Mountain Ridge Giant expanded rapidly, picked up Chen Fan and Jiu Jiu with one hand each, and kicked off with its legs.

The next moment, it landed at the coordinate point Chen Fan had set.

Without time to pay attention to the dumbfounded Players, Chen Fan jumped down and ran straight inside.

He was extremely familiar with this place; it was the blacksmith shop he had entered when he first arrived.

Inner room.

A large pit had been dug in the center of the warehouse where ironware was stored.

Xiao Hudie, along with small boat and others, was standing by on the spot.

Chen Fan walked in quickly, patted the earth burrowing ship on the shoulder, and gave a high evaluation:

"Well done."

The exclamation just now was what the earth burrowing ship had shouted in the group.

However, the earth burrowing ship smiled shyly:

"It's all thanks to Demon, she sensed that there was a problem with the energy nearby, so we came to search."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Hudie.

"My Talent seemed to sense something unusual here, so I brought people over to search. I didn't expect to actually find something."

"Is that so."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, and his SSS-rank Devils Whisper instantly activated.

[Ao wuwuwu—]

An icy, bone-chilling roar, as if coming from the nine netherworlds, came from beneath the ground.

It made Chen Fan feel a chill all over.

[Ding!]

[Remaining time: 1 minute.]

Chen Fan regained his composure, looked at the pitch-black hole, and his expression was grave.

"Boss, how about letting the Crew Members go down to scout the path?"

"Yeah Boss, this place doesn't look simple at all, maybe there are good things inside."

At this time, Jiu Jiu also followed up.

Her expression was somewhat uneasy, and she whispered: "It's creepy here, maybe we should just forget it."

Xiao Hudie also came over, "Brother Fan, your skill level is so much higher, can you sense what's below? I can only sense some cold energy."

Chen Fan frowned tightly and remained silent.

If there were enough time, he would have liked to send Crew Members down to scout.

However, there wasn't much time left now.

[Remaining time: 30 seconds, please Players leave the dungeon.]

"Boss, what do you say? It's almost over!"

"Yeah Boss, are we going in or retreating?"

"..."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and spoke quickly: "I'll turn on invincibility and go in, you guys don't come in."

[Remaining time: 20 seconds.]

"Spirit World!"

With a low shout, in the shocked eyes of the watching Players, Chen Fan's figure gradually disappeared.

The next moment, Chen Fan moved his feet at high speed.

This underground passage was far longer than the one where the Clockwork Goblin was located.

Even at sonic speed, he had to run for nearly twenty seconds before reaching his destination.

Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, staring dumbfounded at the huge black hole in front of him.

Even from five hundred meters away, and even while in the Spirit World state, Chen Fan could still feel the bone-chilling cold emanating from within.

"What... is this thing?"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan retreated a few more steps.

[Ding!]

[Time's up, Night Instance closed.]

[Players who have not exited the dungeon will be forcibly teleported out.]

The system sound rang out.

At the same time, Chen Fan's Spirit World duration also ended.

His figure gradually appeared.

Just the instant before he was teleported out of the dungeon, an extremely strong suction force extended from the black hole.

Chen Fan felt himself enveloped by cold liquid, which quickly pulled him toward the black hole.

However, the next moment, Chen Fan's figure disappeared from the spot.

The world spun for a while.

Chen Fan, along with several warships, returned to the Mainline World together.

Phew—

Chen Fan patted his chest repeatedly.

In that instant just now, he even felt a strong sense of impending death.

"What on earth is this black hole!"
