I Became the King of Villains In the Game Chapter 426

  Chapter 426 Call for help

   Darkness.

  A pitch-black, extremely deep world.

  When all members of the investigation team came to the dark world, they found that it was completely different from what they had imagined.

  Vision seems to disappear, even if you open your eyes wide, you can't see anything, only darkness. And the surrounding area was dead silent, with no sound, no birds and insects, not even the sound of the wind.

  Time seems to stand still, thinking slows down, heartbeat starts to speed up, and panic arises spontaneously.

   Bass!

  At this time, a group of fist-sized flames bloomed in midair, and the orange light was like a beacon, illuminating everyone's sight and guiding them to approach.

  The warmth emanating from it made people feel a little relieved.

   "Investigate the members of a group of teams and move closer to the flame."

  At this time, a deep male voice broke the silence and sounded not far away.

  Everyone felt relieved when they heard that it was Captain Jack's voice.

  But as members of the Imperial Jury, they did not let go of the vigilance they should have.

  Rahn suddenly asked:

   "The sun shines on the earth..."

   Immediately, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.

  The people in the investigation group suddenly felt nervous. This was the code they discussed before entering the dark world. It was used to confirm the identity of the members when they met to avoid the dispersion of the team due to various factors.

   "Dispel the cold and darkness."

  Captain Jack's voice came later.

  All the people sighed secretly, and headed towards the flame one after another. It was only when he got closer that he could see clearly that the flame was floating in the captain's palm, swaying slightly.

   "This is the 'dark world' hidden in the third layer of the spirit world? This environment is too scary... I feel that my perception has been suppressed. If there is an attack by polluting creatures during the operation, I am afraid it will be difficult to respond in time."

   Wells said in a deep voice.

  The crowd stood together, surrounded by the captain and the flame in his hand. The orange light shone on everyone's faces, and the light and shadow flickered, revealing their dignified expressions.

   "It doesn't matter, Xibei and I can create a ball of light for the team to illuminate... This way we can avoid sneak attacks from the dark."

  Rahn said aloud, Sibei nodded beside him.

  Chen Lun shook his head slightly.

  At the same time, he extinguished the flame in his hand, causing the team members to let out a little gasp.

  When the environment fell into darkness again, only the voice of Captain Jack said:

"The dark world is full of powerful polluting creatures. If we are not careful, we will fall into great danger. Using the ability of the sun sequence to illuminate is tantamount to a child 'holding a torch' walking through the dense forest at night, telling those beasts loudly. I'm here'…"

  The members understood what the captain meant.

  Although the lighting will make the movement much more convenient, it will also cause greater hidden dangers.

  Because the light is in the dark world, it is very likely to attract the attention of polluting creatures!

   "Captain, what should we do then? Except for Wells and Federica who can adapt to the environment without light, everyone else will more or less be unable to exert their strength due to the darkness..."

  Rahn's voice sounded.

"Don't worry, we only hid in the dark when we were on our way and investigating. Once encountering a battle, the two of you, Lahn and Sibei, will immediately turn on the lights... But remember to make quick decisions, and turn off the lights as soon as the enemies are dealt with. "

   Chen Lun explained.

   "Yes, Captain."

  Everyone thought for a while and agreed to the proposal.

   Immediately, Chen Lun softly said something to set off, and walked forward. Everyone confirmed the direction according to the subtle footsteps deliberately made by the captain, and followed closely behind.

  Relying on [Five Senses General Knowledge], Chen Lun uses the sense of smell as vision, unimpeded in the dark. At the same time, he also took out his silver cane and performed some divination to confirm the direction of the investigation.

  But the team hadn't gone far, and was attacked soon.

   Whoosh!

  The sky-piercing scream came suddenly, and the perception of the team members was suppressed by the darkness, so that they didn't realize it until the attack was approaching.

   Immediately there was a loud noise!

  Boom!

  Everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble violently, and a strong wind blew from behind, even lifting the corners of their clothes and hair.

  Lahn's expression changed, and his arms spread out suddenly.

"Light!"

   Xibei shouted with him.

  A golden ball of light the size of a skull lifted into the air and bloomed above the head, but it could barely dispel the darkness in a radius of tens of meters, as if the darkness was the old dirt under the kitchen sink, which was difficult to remove.

  After squinting their eyes to see the surrounding things clearly, everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath.

I saw a two-meter-tall silver-white slender bugman being stepped on by the captain Jack. Its two praying mantis arms were cut off at some point and scattered around it, spraying a disgusting thick dark green. Juice, the grotesque shuttle-shaped head trembled from side to side, as if trying to struggle to get up.

  But the next second, the silver cane in the captain's hand fell suddenly.

Ding!

  The sharp stick tail pierced the insect man's head and nailed him to death.

   "The structure of Didak, the son of the ancient gods, is different from that of human beings. They live in the dark world all year round, and their perception ability is stronger than ours...so even if we deliberately hide in the dark, we will be found if we get closer."

  Chen Lun looked down at the corpse of the bugman and said calmly.

  All the team members held their breaths. They were also shocked that the captain killed the sneak attacking bugman in just one breath. Such strength made people have to be in awe.

   Hiss hiss!

   Weird neighing came from all directions, accompanied by dense footsteps.

   "Oops! We've been found!"

   Wells said hastily.

   Everyone looked around, but there was only darkness, and the number of enemies was unknown.

   It is the unknown that makes people panic.

  Even Chen Lun frowned slightly at this moment, because the number of insects rushing in was too many!

  'Seventy or eighty... no, there should be hundreds. '

   he thought to himself.

   Shua!

   With a wave of Chen Lun's hand, his left arm fell off, turning into seven white snakes and jumping onto the shoulders of every team member.

   "Rahn, Xibei, dissipate the light... Everyone and I will flee at full speed, and the white snake will guide you."

  Although everyone was surprised by the captain's methods, they also knew that now was not the time to think wildly, so they responded one after another.

They are very clear that the captain's decision is right, because it is meaningless to stay where they are and fight. Even if they can win, the aftermath of the subsequent battle will continue to attract more enemies. They are here to investigate, not to eliminate these Dida Insect people.

  The light ball above the head gradually shrinks until it disappears.

  The surroundings returned to pitch blackness.

  At the same time, everyone felt the little snake on their shoulders shaking its head, guiding their direction. Out of trust in the captain, they ran at full speed following the guidance.

  There is no sense of space in the darkness. Even if the strong wind blows towards them, they don't know how far they have run, but the weird hissing and footsteps behind them are gradually moving away.

   Ten minutes later.

   Everyone stopped.

  The captain flashed a flash of fire in front again, and they approached tacitly.

   "The dark world is worthy of being a forbidden place in the mysterious field. Those who are not high-ranking transcendents will definitely die here."

   Wells took a long breath and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "Let's move on, be careful."

  Chen Lun spoke.

  Everyone responded softly.

  After experiencing a series of things just now, in the darkness, the expressions on their faces became more dignified.

   Another two hours later.

   Everyone didn't know how far they had followed the captain in the dark, and they didn't know where they were.

  The only thing that can be felt is the gravel road under the feet, which gradually turned into a dilapidated stone road, as if walking into the ruins of a past civilization.

  At this time, everyone suddenly heard the faint sound of battle coming from a distance, rumbling, not only the unique neighing of Didak bugs, but also sporadic shouts of humans.

  All the team members felt the identity cards on their chests trembling slightly.

  Rahn suddenly realized something, and said quickly:

   "It's a call for help! There are other investigation teams fighting nearby!"

  The golden nameplates on the chests of the members of the Imperial Jury are not only a status symbol, but also have many other functions, one of which is to send a call for help.

  Chen Lun thought for a while, although it is best to avoid this situation, but after all, it is the help of the companions in the imperial court, and it is unreasonable to see death, so he said:

   "Come on, let's go and have a look."

   Everyone moved forward in the dark, but after running not far, they almost hit a broken wall. Fortunately, they sensed it at the last moment and responded in a timely manner, otherwise they might be embarrassed.

  Lahn reached out and fumbled briefly, and said in surprise:

   "It seems to be a broken simple stone bungalow, but it has collapsed."

   "There are traces of civilization in the dark world?! This was once the residence of humans? Or some other creature...?"

   Xibei said.

   "Not sure yet."

  Wells spoke.

   "Let's investigate slowly later, let's save people first!"

"Ok."

   Everyone crossed the broken wall and continued to run forward.

   But they found that the frequency of various buildings appeared gradually increased, as if they had come to a passing town.

   When approaching the central area, everyone saw the light.

  In an open space similar to a stone square, six or seven members of the Imperial Jury are being besieged by dozens of silver and white insects!

  The leader is Hamilton, the captain of the second investigation team!

The face of this long-haired man was stained with dark green juice, and his expression was ferocious. His arms seemed to assimilate with the surrounding environment, turning into two huge shadow machetes, fighting three insectmen alone, and the lightning-fast mantis arms. Intense collision.

   Jingle!

  The sparks shot several meters away, which was particularly dazzling in such an environment.

  The members of the second group seemed to have noticed the arrival of the crowd, and joy suddenly appeared in their anxious eyes.

   "It's reinforcements! Another investigation team is coming!"

"it is good!"

  Hamilton swung dozens of knives one after another, beating the three Didak bugs back again and again, and the stone floor of the square within the fighting range was cracked with sharp marks.

  He suddenly raised his head and looked to one side, at the edge of the square illuminated by lights, a team of investigation teams rushed over. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised.

   "Jack?"

  Chen Lun rushed to the scene with his team, and after roughly scanning the battle situation, he immediately said:

   "The whole team takes action to help the investigation team get out of trouble!"

   "Yes! Captain!"

  Lahn and the others responded immediately, and immediately rushed forward with solemn expressions, while displaying their respective sequence abilities.

  Chen Lun teleported directly and appeared behind the three bugmen that Hamilton was fighting with. The silver cane in his hand changed into a slender snake sword in a few tenths of a second, and he threw it out of his hand.

  The silver light suddenly shines, flashing dense tracks.

   Jingle!

  The three bugmen reacted quickly, swinging their mantis arms to block with slashes, and struck with the whip-like snake sword, sending out dazzling flames.

   This series of actions was dizzying, and Hamilton saw it clearly. He stopped in place, staring at the figure of the gentleman in black hat.

  Chen Lun looked calm and suppressed the three bugmen by himself.

  The snake sword in his hand suddenly changed shape again, turning into a terrifying giant sword, and before turning around, it teleported to the other side of the bugman again. This change stunned the bugman for a moment.

  Boom!

  The huge sword slashed horizontally, like a baseball bat hitting three bottles of beer, and directly swept the three bugmen dozens of meters away.

  The reason why it was not cut off was because one of the bugmen had an extremely strong scarab-shaped carapace, and it blocked in front of its companion at the last moment.

  Boom!

  Three bugmen rolled over the square, crushing countless stone slabs, plowing out terrifying marks. When they struggled to get up from the ground, they found more than a dozen streams of red light flying towards them.

   That was the "square flying card" thrown by Chen Lun!

  The unstoppable sharp red flying card is like the most terrifying cutting weapon in the world, spinning at high frequency and piercing through the bodies of the three insectmen.

   Chi Chi Chi Chi!

  The three bugmen suddenly collapsed like broken porcelain.

   Disgusting dark green juices spilled all over the ground, their vigorous vitality has not yet dissipated, even the fragments are constantly wriggling.

  Chen Lun no longer looked at them, retracted the giant sword into the form of a cane, walked gracefully to Hamilton, and asked softly:

"how is the situation?"

  Hamilton took a deep look at the young man in front of him, and immediately dispelled the shadow machetes on his arms, lowering his eyes.

   "Not so good... two team members died."

  Chen Lun was silent for a few seconds to show his condolences.

"terribly sorry."

   “It was inevitable.”

  Hamilton shook his head.

  He took a deep breath, glanced at the situation of the others, and found that his players had temporarily stabilized the situation with the help of the first team.

   "Let's clean up those **** Didaks before we talk."

"it is good."

  Chen Lun's answer is quite concise.

  The two captains then joined the battle and quickly killed the remaining bugmen. Hamilton asked one of the members of the Sun faction to disperse the mid-air ball of light, and everyone hid in a ruined building in an orderly manner.

  After a tough battle, everyone feels a little tired.

  In the narrow space of various broken walls and stone slabs, there was only a finger-sized tiny light created by Rahne. Everyone was eating portable dry food and resting.

   "On behalf of the second team, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

  Hamilton stood up and saluted Chen Lun and others.

  The team members behind him also bowed one after another, showing goodwill.

  They originally looked down on the captain of the first team, thinking that he didn't even dare to bet, but now it seems that it is just a prejudice.

  The opponent was not only strong, but also helped them, which made everyone in the second team change their attitude towards Jack to a considerable extent. Now apart from admiration, it is gratitude.

  At the same time, Chen Lun received a prompt from the panel—

  【Hamilton's favorability with you has increased! Currently for close! 】

  【Moore's favorability for you has increased! Currently for close! 】

  【Jenna Mir's favorability for you has increased...】

  Chen Lun closed a series of prompt boxes calmly, then waved his hand and said:

   "It's nothing, it's all for the empire, and you won't do anything to help it... By the way, you entered the dark world before us, did you find anything?"

   Hamilton sighed.

"No... We have persisted here for two days, but the environment is too harsh. We must not only avoid those insects, but also be on guard against the treacherous terrain hidden in the darkness... Sarah and Hector unfortunately died in the middle of the battle. We're exhausted getting here."

  He pointed to the bottom of his feet.

   "But if we really want to talk about the harvest, it is this city...an ancient city that still has some traces of the past era, and we may be able to find some clues from it. But before we had time to investigate carefully, we alerted the nearby insects."

  Chen Lun remembered the letter Mr. Byers left him, which also mentioned the remains of the ancient era.

  He stood up and walked slowly among the ruins of this small building, scanning every corner with his eyes. Suddenly, he noticed half of an unusual stone slab in the rubble pile at the entrance.

   Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Lun walked over and bent down to pick it up.

  Looking down, there were some weird characters engraved on it. Chen Lun recognized that it was consistent with the characters on the "Monument of Destiny" that he had collected, and belonged to the Yanita language.

   "Do any of you speak 'Yanita'?"

   Chen Lun turned his head and asked.

  At this time, a mature woman among Hamilton's team members stood up.

   "I've been exposed a little bit."

   "Then please take a look, what is written on this slate?"

  Chen Lun handed over what was in his hand.

  After the female team member took it, she looked at it carefully for a while, and finally she just frowned and said:

"It seems to be just a kind of 'diary' content, but the recorder said that today...it seems that he should go to the monument in the center of the city to pray today, but because...I don't understand here, in short, he missed the prayer because of some delays , he is confessing to the 'Master of Destiny'."

  Chen Lun's pupils shrank suddenly.

  'Master of Destiny...referring to Duke Huan? ! '

  He thought for a while, and said to the others:

   "I plan to explore the ruins to see if I can find the so-called 'monument'. Maybe there are more clues on it."

   "Let's go together, Leia understands a little 'Yanita language', if you really find the monument, she can help you interpret it."

  Hamilton said.

  Chen Lun thought for a while, and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.

  So he greeted the team members, and the two investigation teams walked out of the building in silence, slowly heading towards the depths of the ruined city.

   The darkness was dead silent, and no one could see anyone.

   There are still many terrifying Didak bugs still wandering in this area.
