Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Infiltrating Dark City, The Black Crystals



John glanced at the body of a Dark Rat lying nearby. He could sense a powerful dark energy emanating from it.

These rats didn't seem ordinary.

He didn't dwell on it for long and continued following Medusa.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The sewer was dark and damp, filled with the stench of decay that made his head spin.

John forced himself to ignore the discomfort and kept up with Medusa, navigating through the intricate underground passages.

The filthy water was littered with all kinds of garbage, broken corpses, discarded weapons, and strange metals of unknown origin.

"Serpent King, what are these metals?" John asked, looking at Medusa with confusion.

He could feel that these metals were no ordinary materials. They radiated a powerful dark energy, yet they had been casually tossed aside.

Medusa glanced at the metals in the sewage and responded indifferently, "Those are weapons corrupted by the laws of darkness. They can no longer be used, so they were discarded."

Corrupted by the laws of darkness?

John was intrigued and was about to step forward to inspect the metals when a series of shrill screeches echoed from below.

Several Dark Rats emerged from beneath the metals, seemingly gnawing on them.

John was startled and instinctively released a sword beam.

Whoosh!

One of the rats was instantly sliced in half, its dark red blood spilling out.

[You have slain a six-star magical beast, Dark Rat. Plunder ability activated.]

[Mental Power +100, Poison Resistance +1, Harsh Environment Adaptation +1.]

The system prompt flashed, indicating that John's Plunder ability had activated, granting him

a boost in poison resistance and harsh environment adaptation.

Can I adapt to this environment too?

John glanced at the prompt with some curiosity.

However, in such a harsh environment, he had no intention of staying. His only goal was to rescue Nature God and Jean, and he'd never set foot here again afterward.

Squeak...

The rats screeched, their eyes fixed on him. They bared their claws and charged at him with vicious intent.

John snapped back to reality. United Sword appeared in his hand, and with a flash of sword light, he slaughtered the rats in an instant.

The system prompt continued to flash as he gained additional poison resistance and adaptation to harsh environments.

He suspected that these Dark Rats might be capable of enhancing his dark attributes.

However, his Laws of Darkness comprehension had already reached 100%, and with the transformation into the Body of Dark Elements, further improvement was no longer possible. "Ah, such a waste," Medusa remarked as he approached, gazing at the scattered bodies of the Dark Rats on the ground, his face showing a hint of regret.

It seemed he was full and didn't feel the need to continue slaughtering the Dark Rats. Boom! Boom!

At that moment, distant sounds of fighting and the shrill screeches of Dark Rats reached their ears.

"It must be the rat-catching team. Let's go!" Medusa's eyes lit up as he quickened his pace toward the sounds.

John was puzzled, unsure why Medusa would be so eager to find this rat-catching team.

The group hurried after Medusa, turning a corner to see engaged in battle with a group of Dark Rats.

few individuals in protective suits,

The moment John and his group appeared, they immediately caught the attention of the rat- catchers.

"Hm? Intruders!" one of them shouted angrily. He raised his arm, and from beneath his protective suit, a stream of black flames shot out, sweeping toward them, enveloping the

group.

These flames, too, seemed to contain the power of the laws of darkness.

John quickly swung his hand, effortlessly blocking the flames. Just as he was about to take action, Medusa stopped him.

"Don't interfere. We can't damage their protective suits," Medusa cautioned, swiftly rushing toward the group. His eyes flickered with a faint golden light.

"Look into my eyes!" he commanded, his voice laced with enchantment. The rat-catchers immediately froze in place, their eyes glazed over, and even the Dark Rats were charmed.

"Good. Now, take off your protective suits," Medusa ordered.

The rat-catchers complied without resistance, removing their suits to reveal their bodies. They weren't human.

A Black Demon Bomb flew toward the fleeing man.

Boom!

There was another explosion, and the man was sent flying by the blast wave, crashing to the

ground.

The group quickly surrounded him.

"Master, please spare me! I know I was wrong..." The man looked up at the large group of

burly men, struggling to kneel and pleading for mercy.

"Hmph, you're not sorry; you're just scared," the leader of the group growled, his arm

extending out. In his hand, a longsword appeared, and with one swift motion, he ended the

man's life.

"What's everyone looking at? Get lost!" The burly man drew his longsword and disdainfully wiped the blood off the blade. He glared at the onlookers, cursing at them.

The crowd seemed unfazed by this scene and quietly dispersed.

The large iron box had rolled to John and his group's feet, and inside it was a black mechanical

arm. A black crystal also rolled over to John's side, landing at his feet.

Seizing the opportunity, John stepped on the crystal when no one was looking.

At that moment, two more burly men approached, picked up the mechanical arm from the ground, and glared coldly at John and the others. "What are you staring at? Scram, trash!"

"Damn it!" Sword Demon's anger flared, and he was about to take action, but John grabbed

him by the arm.

"Sorry, we're leaving right now." John moved his foot, and using Mind Manipulation, the black crystal flew into his hand without the two men noticing.

He quickly pulled a reluctant Sword Demon away from the scene.

One of the men carefully placed the mechanical arm back into the iron box.

"Kid, you can really stand all this?" Sword Demon said, his face full of resentment.

Those guys were only at the Seven Star level, yet they dared to insult him like that.

"Don't forget why we're here. Let's try to avoid trouble," John replied, not particularly bothered by the insult. Moreover, he could sense that the black crystal was likely the most valuable item in that box.

He looked at the crystal in his hand. There was a powerful energy fluctuation emanating from

it, and he felt that this power was strangely familiar.

"Huh, what's this?" Sword Demon and Cand-Dragon, both intrigued by the black crystal in

John's hand, asked in unison.

John frowned and spoke, "This doesn't seem like dark energy. Do any of you feel like it's...

familiar?"

Sword Demon shook his head in confusion.

Cand-Dragon took the black crystal from John's hand, looking thoughtful. "It does feel

somewhat familiar."

His eyes lit up as he suddenly seemed to realize something, and both he and John spoke at the same time: "Powers of the underworld!"

The energy contained in this crystal was identical to the powers of the underworld that Sini

had been cultivating.

"No, wait!" John's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "That means Senren's

target isn't me."

"Sini," Cand-Dragon responded, understanding now. "Sini is still in Forest City, with Forest King protecting her. She should be fine."

John's face under his mask grew grave as a bad feeling gnawed at him. He looked at Sword

Demon.

"I'll contact the city lord," he said quickly, taking out a communication jade and activating it. The face of Great Bear appeared in the jade, and he handed it to John.

"How's everything going? Did you succeed?" The voice of Forest King echoed from the jade

stone.
