114: The Nether Dragon Cave? Isn't this some kind of slaughterhouse?

Outside the Nether Dragon Cave.

Reinforcements from the Spiritual Energy Bureau had already arrived on the scene.

Hundreds of Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Agents hovered silently in the dark seawater.

Faint spiritual energy runes flickered around them, offsetting the immense pressure of the deep sea as they faintly surrounded the cave entrance area.

The one leading the team was a middle-aged man named Lei Zhan.

He had a burly build and a resolute face, and at this moment, he was staring fixedly at the cave entrance that looked like a giant abyss's maw.

"Captain, the Energy Detectors show that the energy fluctuations inside the cave are extremely chaotic and violent!" a technician reported nervously. "There have been multiple ultra-high-energy bursts, and the frequency is alarmingly fast!"

Lei Zhan's brow furrowed deeply, and his fists clenched unconsciously. "Special Commissioner Chen has been in there for a while now... what exactly is the situation inside?"

"Unclear. There's intense energy interference in the cave, and our detection signals can't penetrate deep enough," the technician shook his head. "But judging from the previous energy peaks, the battle inside... is likely beyond imagination."

Upon hearing this, worry and tension appeared on the faces of the surrounding team members.

According to the news from headquarters, the Demonic Evil inside was most likely an Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon—a legendary Sixth-Tier Demonic Evil!

No matter how strong Special Commissioner Chen was, charging into the enemy's lair alone was far too risky!

"Captain, we can't just wait around like this!" an impatient team member couldn't help but speak up. "Special Commissioner Chen went in alone to pursue the main force of the Demonic Evils; we must go in to support him!"

"That's right, Captain! If Special Commissioner Chen runs into trouble inside, we're the last line of reinforcements!"

The team members were agitated. Although they felt fear toward the unknown within the cave, they were more worried about Chen Nian's safety.

Lei Zhan took a deep breath. As the Commander, he had to remain calm.

Chen Nian's importance went without saying. Headquarters had issued a death order to ensure his safety at all costs.

Furthermore, while the energy fluctuations inside were terrifying, they hadn't continuously decayed, meaning the battle was still ongoing. Special Commissioner Chen might still be in a hard-fought struggle.

Right at that moment—

"BOOM—!!!"

An extremely muffled roar, as if coming from the depths of the Earth's core, suddenly erupted from inside the cave.

The entire seabed seemed to tremble because of it.

The scene vibrated violently, and the surrounding seawater churned madly, kicking up countless clouds of silt.

"What happened?!"

"Is it an earthquake? Or is the cave about to collapse?!"

The crowd cried out in alarm, and the team members hurriedly steadied themselves, their faces written with horror.

However, before they could react—

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several more even more violent explosions burst forth in succession!

This time, along with the loud bangs, visible shockwaves surged out from the cave entrance, pushing aside the surrounding seawater to create a brief vacuum zone.

The intense spiritual energy turbulence even interfered with the instruments carried by the agents, causing alarm lights to flash crazily.

"It's not an earthquake, it's the battle! It's the aftershocks of the battle inside!" the technician shouted, looking at the off-the-charts data on the screen.

"My God... what level of battle must it be to cause this kind of commotion?!"

"Special Commissioner Chen... just what kind of monster is he fighting against!"

Everyone was stunned by this terrifying sight.

Just the aftershocks of the battle were enough to shake the deep sea. What kind of world-destroying power was this?

Lei Zhan gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. The last trace of hesitation in his eyes vanished, replaced by resolve.

"We can't wait any longer!"

"All units, hear my command! Enter the cave immediately and support Special Commissioner Chen!"

"Repeat, enter the cave immediately!"

The order was given, and all agents moved at full speed.

Like arrows released from a bow, they braved the yet-to-subside energy turbulence and charged without hesitation into the bottomless depths of the cave... inside the cave.

When the Spiritual Energy Bureau agents finally struggled through the energy turbulence at the entrance and truly entered the interior of the Nether Dragon Cave, everyone gasped and instantly froze in place.

The scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

How was this a cave?

This was clearly a... slaughterhouse repainted with blood and shredded meat!

As far as the eye could see, there were remains of Demonic Evils everywhere!

Severed tentacles, shattered scales, exploded internal organs, stark white bone fragments... mixed with dark green, foul-smelling blood, they covered almost every inch of the ground and coral reefs.

A stench so thick it wouldn't dissipate filled the surroundings, drilling into everyone's nostrils and making their stomachs churn.

Some Demonic Evils with eerie forms that were clearly incredibly powerful in life were now scattered about in various twisted and broken postures, like toys mindlessly torn apart by a naughty child, their deaths too tragic to describe.

The entire space was terrifyingly silent.

There was only the faint hum of spiritual energy detection instruments and... the distant, faint, and even more heart-palpitating sounds of energy collisions!

"What... what happened here?"

"A massacre... this is a one-sided massacre!"

"These Demonic Evils... many were Fourth-Tier, there might even be Fifth-Tier existences... and they're all... dead?"

"It's Special Commissioner Chen... it must be him. He slaughtered his way in!"

"Too strong. Is this the power of Special Commissioner Chen?"

The team members' voices were trembling, filled with unspeakable shock.

But more than that, it was the awe felt toward a powerhouse.

They had expected there to be battles and Demonic Evil guards inside the cave.

But they never imagined they would see such a hellish sight!

Wasn't Special Commissioner Chen here to perform a decapitation mission?

How did he... wipe out their entire family along the way?!

This efficiency, these methods... were far too sharp and efficient!

Lei Zhan forcibly suppressed the stormy waves in his heart. As the captain, he had to remain composed.

Peering through the thick energy floating around, he stared fixedly at the direction deep in the cave where the energy fluctuations were most violent and gave a low-voiced command:

"Don't just stand there! Keep moving!"

"Special Commissioner Chen might be fighting the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon. Our mission is to support him, not to daze off here!"

"All units, maintain maximum alert and proceed at full speed toward the energy source!"

The Spiritual Energy Bureau support team advanced once more.

They carefully avoided the wreckage on the ground, moving as if through a forest of blood and flesh, racing toward the deepest part of the cave.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

The scene at the cave entrance was already so horrifying. What kind of terrifying scene would be at the deepest part... under Special Commissioner Chen's 'handling'?

It was probably already a field of corpses with no remains left intact.

They might not have noticed it themselves, but the atmosphere that was originally full of terror had now completely transformed into trust in Chen Nian.
