Chapter 2689

~8 min read 1,580 words

The passage leading downward was opened, and the rest was simple. The four criminals went deep into it, broke all the mechanisms and traps with extraordinary characteristics, and finally used three keys to open the Gate of the Dark Prison.

The Gate of the Dark Prison had a characteristic: it was difficult to be destroyed before opening the door. Opening the door and destroying it were two different concepts.

After opening the door, it only led to the Dark Prison, but after destruction, due to the layout of the previous generation of hunters, the hole formed by the Gate of the Dark Prison would lead directly to the deepest part of the Dark Prison.

"You can start now."

As Lady Xiang spoke, her gaze looked at the four criminals.

"If I say I regret it, will I pass away right now?"

Button Sunny looked at the pitch-black darkness under the stairs, and her intuition was telling her not to go deep into there.

"Undead Yuyuer, you are the captain. As for your team name," Lady Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "let's call it Shadow. You are all shadows in the darkness."

"I object."

Button Sunny raised her hand.

"Objection overruled, set off for me now."

Under Lady Xiang's gaze, the four criminals carrying backpacks walked down the stairs and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Su Xiao stood in front of the stairs. If the Shadow team succeeded, he could go deep into the Dark Prison in two days. After destroying the Gate of the Dark Prison, the chaotic energy reaction would last for at least two days. Before that, it was impossible to go deep into the Dark Prison at all.

Time passed minute by minute. After about two hours, a figure rushed out from the darkness below. There was no sound; it was the sound that had been isolated.

In the passage, Big Mouth Kite was roaring something. He was running on all fours like a beast, and behind him was a large area of surging fluid. These fluids were like mercury, corroding the walls in the passage.

Big Mouth Kite's speed was very fast, but unfortunately, the fluid behind him was faster. When he was still a few dozen meters away from rushing out of the passage, a stream of fluid behind him reached out and wrapped around his ankle. With a 'Puchi', Big Mouth Kite was dragged into the fluid.

Big Mouth Kite seemed to be screaming loudly. He first turned into a skeleton and was then quickly corroded into slag. Everything was silent; the sound had been isolated.

The silver fluid surged for a while longer before evaporating into the air.

"Did they fail? About two hours, they should have advanced very far."

As soon as Lady Xiang's words fell, a figure about ten centimeters tall walked out of the passage. It was a small-sized Undead Yuyuer. When he was more than ten meters away from Su Xiao, Su Xiao heard the tiny footsteps. This passage was an independent existence every ten meters or so.

"There's a problem with the keys. The door, it won't open."

Undead Yuyuer looked up at Su Xiao. Hearing this, everyone, including Lady Xiang, was stunned.

"Did you... succeed?"

"Yes."

Undead Yuyuer turned and walked toward the depths of the passage to find his main body.

"Could it be a trap? Don't go in like this, Kuku Lin! What are you thinking."

Amidst Lady Xiang's shouting, Su Xiao had already walked into the underground passage. After walking for only ten meters, he felt himself pass through a transparent thin film.

Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu guarded the entrance to avoid accidents, while Baha went deep into the passage with Su Xiao. At a critical moment, Baha could forcibly open the different dimension to avoid danger with Su Xiao.

Every time Su Xiao walked more than ten meters, he could see cracks on the walls. These were the triggered extraordinary mechanisms. In fact, among the several criminals, only Undead Yuyuer was important. The opponent's ability was very suitable for breaking these aged extraordinary mechanisms, and the others were just extra insurance.

"The space is really chaotic."

Baha flew at a low altitude, trying his best to stabilize the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

Along the way, Su Xiao found that Undead Yuyuer had broken at least hundreds of extraordinary mechanisms or traps. Some were dismantled, and some were induced to trigger.

Not only that, every time Su Xiao walked more than ten meters, he would pass through a transparent light film. These light films separated the space into a mess.

Before Undead Yuyuer broke the extraordinary mechanisms, the entire passage did not lead straight ahead. Sometimes, while walking, one would return to the exit or directly enter a passage where the mechanisms had already been triggered.

When Su Xiao arrived at the innermost part of the passage, the passage here was nearly thirty meters wide, and a huge door was located at the innermost part.

This door was covered with black patterns and was more than ten meters high. Three keys were inserted in the lower part of the door. This was the Gate of the Dark Prison.

Undead Yuyuer, Silencer Salisbury, and Button Sunny were all standing in front of the Gate of the Dark Prison. At this moment, these three were vaguely led by Undead Yuyuer. Clearly, the three of them had already planned something.

Button Sunny saw Su Xiao walking over and immediately showed a shy smile. She was controlling her heartbeat speed. She was too eager for freedom, but before the plan succeeded, she needed to ensure that the monster walking toward her wouldn't suddenly draw his blade. That's right, in the eyes of criminals like Button Sunny, Su Xiao was a monster, regardless of his strength or aura.

"This door is broken, it won't open at all."

Button Sunny shrugged. The Silencer beside him pushed her aside, signaling her not to talk too much so as not to affect Undead Yuyuer's plan.

Su Xiao walked past the three of them and stood in front of the Gate of the Dark Prison.

"Mr. Kuku Lin, I suggest letting the hunters join forces to attack it."

Undead Yuyuer was still expressionless; he always looked like he had facial paralysis.

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak. After looking up and down at the Gate of the Dark Prison, he moved his neck and slowly took a breath.

Yuyuer and the other two retreated more than ten meters away. Button Sunny among them stared closely at Su Xiao, because Su Xiao's subsequent decision directly affected whether she could regain her freedom. As long as other hunters arrived, they would have a chance to escape.

"Mr. Kuku Lin, I don't suggest you try it yourself. That door is cast from 'Losweb' metal, which is one of the strongest substances in this world..."

Button Sunny's words were only halfway through when Su Xiao, in front of the Gate of the Dark Prison, kicked it straight.

Boom!!

The entire passage felt like an earthquake. A wind pressure surged from in front of Button Sunny, blowing her hair into a mess. In the fierce wind pressure, her expression was somewhat disheveled.

Crack, crack, crack~

Large cracks appeared on the Gate of the Dark Prison, and in the next instant, it shattered abruptly, and chaotic energy surged out.

When everything calmed down, the corner of Undead Yuyuer's eye twitched. After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, he took out shackles from his backpack and clicked them onto his wrists.

"Silencer, the plan of mutual destruction you proposed earlier can be implemented."

Button Sunny looked at the Silencer. The Silencer calmly took out shackles and cuffed them onto his wrists. He didn't want to try fighting Su Xiao. Just now, the three of them had tried various methods, but the result was only a dent the size of a grain of rice on the Gate of the Dark Prison. This was already their all-out effort.

"What plan? You just said mutual destruction, right?"

Baha landed on Button Sunny's shoulder, with one sharp claw resting on Button Sunny's head.

"Ha, haha, just kidding, don't be so serious."

Button Sunny laughed somewhat awkwardly. The plan to pit the teammates failed, so she also took out shackles and cuffed herself.

After the Gate of the Dark Prison shattered, the chaotic energy twisted together, rotating in different directions. After these energies dissipated, one could pass through here to reach the deepest part of the Dark Prison.

【Prompt: The Hunter has destroyed the Gate of the Dark Prison.】

【You have obtained 2,000 points of World Reputation.】

A full 2,000 points of World Reputation—this was a surprise. Su Xiao was just about to turn and walk out of the passage when a figure rushed out from the chaotic energy.

This figure was covered in blood, clearly having just been swept into the chaotic energy before rushing out. Just now, this person was most likely on the other side of the Gate of the Dark Prison. The inside and outside of the Gate of the Dark Prison were different; trying to destroy it from the inside was almost impossible.

With a 'Plop', the blood-covered person fell to the ground. He struggled to get up from the ground, but in the next moment, the person froze in place.

"......"

"......"

Eye to eye, Su Xiao and the suddenly appearing Douglas stared at each other.
