317: Chapter 317 Mercury

When leaving Superpower Metropolis, the sky had already turned dark.

Chen Fan prepared to hold Jiu Jiu and rest for a while.

Suddenly, Ruituocuipu came looking for him.

You can use X-Ray Vision to search for my people.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up immediately, What is the keyword?

Ruituocuipu pondered for a moment and uttered a strange syllable.

Chen Fan's eyes flashed; this syllable was the language of the so-called Devils.

This reminded him of the voice that had once appeared in his mind.

[My people, in the depths of the seabed, lies the treasure you desire.]

This was the prompt given to him by the SSS-rank Devils Whisper before the Newbie Village BOSS appeared.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Chen Fan mimicked Ruituocuipu's pronunciation and shouted in a low voice.

Suddenly, a light screen unfolded.

Inside an underground world, hundreds of Goblins were working diligently.

Seeing this scene, both Chen Fan and Ruituocuipu's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Go quickly!

Mm.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, confirmed the coordinates, and his domain instantly expanded.

Teleport!

...

After several consecutive hours of teleporting, Chen Fan was exhausted to the extreme.

But fortunately, before he was about to collapse, he arrived at the coordinate point.

This was a pitch-black island.

The entire island was shrouded in gray mist, and against the backdrop of the night, it revealed an eerie atmosphere.

Drake, take one thousand Sailors to search the island.

Yes, my master.

Having lost his sentience, the thing Drake did most was exploring islands.

The location of the Goblins was quickly discovered through Exploration.

Chen Fan sent another thousand Sailors to specifically be responsible for digging the entrance, while Drake continued to lead the team in Exploration.

Under the shroud of gray mist, both X-Ray Vision and Exploration had their vision severely limited.

The best method was for the Crew Members to wear cameras and scout the path physically.

Soon, the Sailors dug out the entrance to the underground world.

Chen Fan took Ruituocuipu, quickly passed through the tunnel, and arrived at the underground world.

The moment they saw Ruituocuipu, the Goblins exclaimed:

King? You are still alive?!

Looking at so many Goblins, Ruituocuipu could not help but sigh with emotion.

After a simple exchange of greetings, 500 Goblins moved all the equipment from the underground world into the nuclear armored vehicle.

Up to this point, the number of Goblins in Chen Fan's hands had reached one thousand.

If they produced at full capacity, they could make 5 nuclear missiles with a yield of ten thousand tons a day!

Chen Fan rubbed his hands, placed a complete order with Ruituocuipu, and sat back waiting to receive the goods.

Suddenly.

Drake sent a faint signal.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he opened the surveillance feed.

In the surveillance, a strangely shaped building stood deep in the gray mist.

Rather than a building, it was more like a box two meters high.

Chen Fan frowned slightly, and subconsciously, he took his people back to the aircraft carrier.

Drake, open the door and go in to take a look.

Yes, master.

Drake pushed the door open.

Suddenly, gusts of evil wind blew out from inside the building.

Immediately following that, a black dagger appeared.

The dagger flew through the air, carrying a trail of gray mist, and engulfed all the Crew Members.

In an instant, all the Crew Members were killed instantly.

The surveillance feed was cut off right there.

Dark Creatures?

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, captured the image, and awakened the heart of the demon dragon.

Brother Dragon Heart, do you recognize this thing?

The heart of the demon dragon looked at it for a moment and said:

I recognize it, Ghost Blade.

Chen Fan's expression was shocked, What is that?

Mercury's skill. The damage isn't high; it's mainly used for displacement.

Seeing Ghost Blade basically means that Mercury has come out.

Come out? From where? To where?

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

The heart of the demon dragon said indifferently, Possibly behind you.

Chen Fan's scalp immediately went numb, and he subconsciously turned around to look.

Suddenly.

A low murmuring sound rang out.

A bone-chilling coldness surfaced in Chen Fan's mind.

Brother, be careful! There is someone behind you!

Chen Fan's pupils constricted, almost subconsciously wanting to activate Spirit Realm Walking.

Stop!

The heart of the demon dragon roared, interrupting Chen Fan's spellcasting.

At the same time, it also interrupted the next movement of the person behind him.

Chen Fan lunged forward and darted away.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the figure behind him.

Rather than a person standing there, it was more like a black shadow.

A person nearly 1.7 meters tall, wearing a dark brown long coat, stood in place.

If not for the faint cyan light glowing in the pupils, Chen Fan would have almost been unable to discover him.

Turning on the lights in the cabin, Chen Fan finally saw the person clearly.

Mercury?

Mercury raised her head slightly and scanned the surroundings.

Finally, her pale cyan eyes locked onto the heart of the demon dragon on Chen Fan's chest.

You actually... defected to the Remnants?

A murky, grating voice rang out.

Suddenly, the cabin fell into silence.

Not only the heart of the demon dragon, but even those Crew Members above S-rank were silent.

Remnants?

Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Memories from a long time ago surfaced in his mind.

He had heard this term many times in the Daytime Instance.

What does Remnants mean?

Chen Fan raised his head and looked straight at Mercury.

Mercury did not answer, her gaze fixed tightly on Chen Fan's chest.

As if waiting for a response from the heart of the demon dragon.

After a long while.

The heart of the demon dragon sighed and spoke: This might be another solution.

Solution? Solve it by defecting?

I did not defect; he is not a Remnant.

Mercury's eyes narrowed slightly, she scanned the area again, and finally, her gaze stopped on Chen Fan's face.

After observing for a moment, she nodded slightly, Indeed, he is not, but so what?

He might be able to end the chaos.

Mercury frowned, deep suspicion appearing in her pale cyan eyes.

Are you sure?

The heart of the demon dragon did not reply to her, but sent a message to Chen Fan through the Crew Member channel:

Take out some holy radiance crystal energy for her.

Chen Fan frowned, I only have 140 left.

Give it to her; perhaps we can trick a new Crew Member.

The voice of the heart of the demon dragon revealed a sense of craftiness.

Chen Fan blinked and nodded slightly.

He took out a bottle containing 10 points of holy radiance crystal energy and tossed it to Mercury.

At the same time, the heart of the demon dragon spoke:

This energy was not obtained through slaughter; you should know what that means.

Mercury took the bottle, her pale cyan pupils widening suddenly.

Are you sure?

Of course, otherwise why would I be willing to follow him?

Chen Fan understood this time and said with some hesitation:

These...

Shh...

Fool her first, we'll talk about the rest once we get her. Besides, the slaughter I mentioned isn't the one you're imagining.

The heart of the demon dragon remained crafty.

Although he had doubts, Chen Fan did not speak again.

This energy was something he had robbed from the people at headquarters.

This also counts as no slaughter?

Chen Fan shrugged and stood aside watching the performance of the heart of the demon dragon.

Mercury held the bottle and pondered for a long time.

Finally, she spoke slowly: Are you sure he can do it?

If not sure, then what? It's nothing more than falling into a deep sleep again.

This sentence completely persuaded Mercury.

She nodded, Come on.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, he stepped forward a few steps and extended his right hand.

Recruit.

Spirit Control.

[Ding!]

[Recruitment successful, new Crew Member: Mercury (SS-rank).]

Seeing this skill description, Chen Fan's scalp immediately went numb.
