303: Chapter 303 Recover Energy, Eruption

The moment the energy exploded, Chen Fan felt his internal organs being torn apart.

Although Thin Burial could save his life, it did not block his five senses.

The excruciating pain almost swallowed his consciousness.

“Hiss... nobody told me it would hurt this much.”

After regaining his composure, Chen Fan grimaced in pain.

“Gu ji gu ji —”

[Thank you, you are very good, you are a good person.]

“You’re the one who’s a good person, damn it.”

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

The black eye on the heart had disappeared, the chains had all been shattered, and the crimson heart had regained its freedom.

Enveloped by magma, it slowly moved closer, preparing to converse with Chen Fan.

“Stop, I can only hold on for another ten seconds. Either come with me, or I’m leaving on my own.”

“Ji ni —”

[I will go with you.]

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction.

“Recruit.”

“Spirit Control.”

[Ding!]

[Successfully recruited: heart of the demon dragon.]

[Warning, remaining time for Thin Burial: 7 seconds.]

“Spirit Realm!”

Without time to check, Chen Fan returned the heart of the demon dragon to his Crew Member space, activated the Spirit Realm, and ran for his life.

Although in the Spirit Realm state, the magma could not harm him.

But the previous situation where the Spirit Realm disappeared mysteriously made him afraid to gamble.

Within seven seconds, Chen Fan stepped out of the magma range and sprinted along the corridor.

Just as he walked out of the top floor, an explosion sounded from underground.

“Oh no.”

Chen Fan’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Those magmas were located right at the bottom of the church.

The previous Self-Destruct had already triggered a magma riot. It might have already started erupting by now.

“Get ready to run, I’m coming out immediately.”

After sending a message to the Reaper via the Crew Member channel, Chen Fan moved his feet frantically.

Boom —

The sound of explosions came from underground.

Just as everyone in the church was surprised, sirens blared everywhere.

“Warning, intruder detected.”

“Warning, intruder detected.”

The church staff were stunned for a moment, then snapped back and roared:

“That little thief is back, close the doors!”

Instantly, footsteps erupted everywhere. The black-clad guards, unable to appease their distinguished guests in time, quickly sealed all doors and windows.

“That’s it?”

Chen Fan sneered and darted out from the corner of the stairs.

In the Spirit Realm state, he actually dragged a faint shadow through the air.

“He’s here, don’t let him escape!”

Ten meters away from Chen Fan, a black-clad man exclaimed and immediately rushed up.

However, Chen Fan just glanced back at him and flew straight through the window toward the outside.

“Teleport.”

After exiting the central building, the Domain of God was finally activated.

After flashing twice in succession, Chen Fan landed on the ghost ship parked in the corner.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk once we’re out.”

Stopping Jiu Jiu from speaking with a look, Chen Fan took a deep breath and activated Teleport again.

2.5 seconds later, the ghost ship landed next to the aircraft carrier parked outside the city.

“Brother, what happened inside?”

Once the ghost ship stopped, Jiu Jiu immediately leaned over.

The Reaper on the side also scratched his head, asking in confusion:

“Why did we hear a few explosions?”

Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief and looked up toward the church.

“There is a pool of magma under the central building of the church. The heart of the demon dragon is sealed inside.”

“When I helped unseal the heart of the demon dragon just now, it triggered a magma riot. This city might be destroyed.”

Hearing this, Jiu Jiu blinked and looked at the top of the building.

“That tower...”

“Let’s see first. If it can be collected, we’ll collect it; if not, then forget it.”

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly.

The existence of the underground magma disrupted his plans.

More importantly, inside the church’s central building, he couldn’t use skills. Even his domain couldn’t penetrate it.

If he hadn't activated the Spirit Realm to rush out from underground earlier, he would have had to spend a lot of energy to escape from the central building.

Shaking his head, Chen Fan scanned his gaze toward the Crew Member space.

The heart of the demon dragon was still beating rapidly. After it became a Crew Member, Chen Fan could communicate with it without any barriers.

“Is that so-called magic dragon crystal core energy produced by you?”

After a moment, the heart of the demon dragon replied: “Yes, and no.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Fan frowned slightly.

“The energy is indeed my metabolic byproduct, but at present, I have lost the ability to produce energy.”

The heart of the demon dragon’s voice gradually stabilized, “My crystal core has been stripped away, so I cannot autonomously metabolize energy.”

“Then how is the energy in this city produced?”

“It was possible before. That wretched thing attached its eye to me as a bridge, constantly feeding me crystal core debris.”

“Eye?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, “Whose eye is that?”

“They call it — Sea God? Heh, it’s just a tentacle.”

The heart of the demon dragon laughed disdainfully.

Chen Fan’s eyelids twitched.

Sure enough, it’s another Tentacle Monster.

“Then where did its eye go now? It wasn’t shattered by me, was it?”

“Theoretically speaking, having become the Sea God, it is an immortal existence; the eye should have been retracted by it.”

Chen Fan nodded.

Suddenly, a loud noise came.

Several people instinctively looked up at the front, their pupils shrinking immediately.

The central building, which was originally flashing with a faint light, was now filled with fiery red.

From the closed doors and windows, one could vaguely see the viscous matter churning inside.

The magma erupted, instantly swallowing the interior of the building.

“It really erupted.” Chen Fan shook his head.

“Let me out, I want to recover the energy.”

The heart of the demon dragon’s tone was somewhat urgent.

Chen Fan recited the command silently, and the huge heart appeared on the deck, startling Jiu Jiu and making her whole body tremble.

“Is this that heart? Why is it so big?”

She patted her chest, her face full of shock.

Without the obstruction of the magma, Chen Fan finally saw the full picture of the heart.

The entire heart was nearly fifty meters in diameter, almost filling the deck of the ghost ship.

Every time it beat, it seemed like it was going to tear the ghost ship apart.

“Let’s go back to the aircraft carrier.”

Chen Fan waved his hand, and several people flashed to the aircraft carrier deck at the same time.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in Chen Fan’s chest.

Pale blue energy actually flew out from his chest, floating straight toward the heart of the demon dragon.

“This is...”

Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Not only that, in the city ahead, streaks of pale blue energy flew up from all directions.

After condensing in the air, they quickly flew toward the heart of the demon dragon.

“Too little, it’s not enough to restore my state at all.”

The heart of the demon dragon sighed, absorbed all the energy, and flew back into the Crew Member space as a red light.

“I need some time. By the way, the Sea God has retracted its eye, which has made its perception stronger. You need to be careful not to be discovered by it.”

“Mm.”

Chen Fan nodded, watching the church intently.

At this moment, the church had turned into a living hell.

Crimson magma was continuously erupting from the gaps in the doors and windows.

Everyone surrounding it was screaming and fleeing.

From time to time, some unlucky ones were hit by the magma and turned into fly ash.
