331: Chapter 331 Arrival, Silence Remains Throughout!
Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the surveillance screen.
At this moment, the two little guys, 9527 and 996, were still following the queue and moving forward.
Zeus's ultimate ability had nearly insta-killed all the Dark Creatures in the city.
The few surviving creatures were treated as the final sparks by the headquarters and moved underground to take cover.
Originally, parasites did not have the authority to enter.
However, the Wrath of Thunder had wiped out all low-level units, leaving only a few mid-level and above individuals alive.
Because the two little guys belonged to Chen Fan's faction, they were not harmed.
So, they were naturally treated as mid-level units and followed the others underground.
Looking at the pitch-black passage, Chen Fan shook his head and opened the recording.
He pulled the timeline back, freezing it at the moment before they entered the underground.
Looking at the scene outside the passage, Chen Fan quickly found the entrance.
“Found it.”
With a wave of Chen Fan's hand, the Mechanical Dragons were all recalled. He looked back at the warship anchored on the sea and said softly:
“You guys go back to the warship. The domain cannot penetrate the underground world, so I can't use it to stay invisible.”
Jiu Jiu nodded, her face full of worry as she said, “If it really doesn't work, just come back. Don't take risks.”
“Don't worry, I have two Immortal Shields.”
Chen Fan patted her small head, comforted her for a moment, and then teleported her back to the warship.
“Master, if you hear the singing of countless lost souls, that means Shadow Fiend is using his ultimate.”
Hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes lit up. “Very useful information, thank you.”
He glanced at his skill bar.
【Full Domain Silence (SSS-rank): Silences and disarms all non-allied units. Range: Worldwide. Duration: 1 second - 30 minutes (depends on the number and resistance of the targets). Cooldown: 7 days.】
This silence skill had never been used since he acquired it.
It seemed the system gave him this skill specifically for this battle.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan activated invisibility from Elemental Summoning and blinked to the entrance.
Sure enough.
Just as he had expected, the moment he entered the entrance, he lost his connection to the domain.
“Did they say how much further?”
As soon as he landed, Chen Fan sent a message to the two little guys.
They replied quickly:
“It should be soon. Master, hurry and follow us. There seems to be a mechanism inside; if you're late, you won't be able to get in.”
Hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. “Slow down and move to the back of the queue.”
“Okay!”
The two gradually slowed down and soon reached the very back of the queue.
Chen Fan looked at the person on the monitor and gave a light snort.
“Meteorite.”
“Sunstrike.”
“Shapeshift Exchange!”
Casting three skills, Chen Fan directly targeted the unlucky guy in front of the two.
Instantly, the two swapped positions.
The moment that person landed, the Meteorite and Sunstrike arrived simultaneously, killing him instantly.
Seeing the person in front of them disappear, the two little guys immediately cheered:
“Master, hungry!”
Chen Fan gave a light chuckle and tossed out two glass bottles.
The two immediately caught them, absorbed the energy, and the smiles on their faces grew even wider.
Right then, a low shout rang out:
“Quiet. We are about to enter the Boss's lair. From now on, no one is allowed to make a sound.”
Instantly, Chen Fan's eyes lit up.
Better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Could it be they had already reached the place where Shadow Fiend was hiding?
The black-robed man who had shouted scanned the surroundings. After finding nothing unusual, he nodded and turned toward the wall ahead.
After some fumbling, he chanted a few incantations.
Instantly, a door actually opened in the middle of the stone wall.
“Enter one by one, and do not make a sound.”
The black-robed man stepped aside slightly, signaling everyone to enter.
Subsequently, the black-robed men in the queue stepped through the door in the stone wall one by one.
Over ten minutes later, it was the turn of the two.
“Get in!”
The black-robed man gave 9527 a push.
At that moment, Chen Fan's figure blurred as he activated a blink, appearing inside the stone door.
The black-robed man's eyes widened, and he swung the longsword in his hand repeatedly. After several slashes, he looked around in confusion.
996 stood obediently outside the door, waiting for the black-robed man's command.
Under Chen Fan's direction, 9527 also turned around in confusion, looking at the black-robed man.
After the three of them stared at each other for a while, the black-robed man waved his hand irritably. “Get lost inside, and no talking.”
996 nodded and stepped inside.
Then, after the black-robed man entered, he fumbled with the stones again.
A rumbling sound echoed, and the stone door gradually disappeared.
“Follow me.”
With a wave of his hand, the black-robed man moved to the front of the queue and continued to lead the way.
The passage inside the stone door was no different from the outside; it was still dark and twisted.
The group walked for another half an hour before some faint lights appeared on the surrounding walls.
“Shh...”
The black-robed man stopped, turned back to make a silencing gesture to everyone behind him, and then bent his waist, slowly creeping forward.
Everyone behind him followed suit, also bending over as they moved forward.
As he passed the spot where the black-robed man had started crouching, Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was as if his entire soul had begun to tremble.
“Does Navin Mor have any skills that can inflict negative status effects?”
Chen Fan asked in the Crew Member channel.
Soon, Mercury replied: “Yes, he has a skill: Presence of the Dark Lord, which can reduce the defense of everyone nearby.”
“No wonder.”
Chen Fan nodded.
Fortunately, it only reduced defense.
Chen Fan secretly applied another Thin Burial to the three of them and walked forward slowly.
After another ten minutes, a massive plaza appeared before his eyes.
A huge altar was placed in the center of the plaza.
Floating above the altar was a black-and-red phantom with its hands on its hips.
“Lord Navin Mor, the only survivors from the headquarters are all here.”
The black-robed man knelt on both knees and said in a deep voice.
“Not bad.”
Black flames burned within the phantom's eyes.
After scanning for a moment, his gaze finally stopped on the spot where Chen Fan was standing.
“A little mouse actually managed to sneak in.”
Hearing this, the black-robed man trembled all over, an ominous premonition flashing through his mind:
“My Lord, I...”
BOOM—
A pillar of black energy rose from the ground, instantly swallowing everyone, leaving only the two little guys' parasites.
After the hundreds of people died, they turned into black souls and drifted toward the central altar.
Navin Mor opened his large mouth and swallowed the hundreds of souls.
“Very good. You actually dared to barge into my territory and managed to survive a Shadowraze.”
“However, that's as far as it goes.”
Perhaps Navin Mor had not spoken for too long, as he began to talk incessantly once he opened his mouth.
Then, the red-and-black phantom expanded several times over, and bursts of ethereal singing rang in Chen Fan's ears.
“Come back!”
With a wave of his hand, Chen Fan pulled the two little guys into the Crew Member space.
“Full Domain Silence!”
Shrinking the skill's range to the entire plaza, Chen Fan unleashed Silence for the first time.
Instantly, the ethereal singing came to an abrupt halt.
Chen Fan gave a cold laugh and looked at Navin Mor.
“Thin Burial.”
“Spirit Realm.”
In the next second, Chen Fan appeared beside the phantom.
Taking one last look at Navin Mor, Chen Fan deactivated Spirit Realm.
“Self-Destruct!”
