Chapter 643 -425: Distress Signal_3

This series of actions was a blur to the eye, and Hamilton stood frozen in place, staring intently at the figure of the gentleman in the black hat.

Chen Lun remained calm, single-handedly restraining three Insect People.

In his hand, the Serpent Sword suddenly changed form again, transforming into a terrifyingly large sword. As he turned, he used Blink to move to the other side of the bugs, a shift that left the creatures momentarily stunned.

Boom!!

With a horizontal slash, the huge sword swept through them like a baseball bat hitting three beer bottles, sending the three Insect People flying tens of meters.

The reason they weren’t cut in half was that one of the Insect People had an incredibly tough beetle-like carapace on its back, and in the last moment, it had moved in front of its companions as a shield.

Rumble!!

The three bugs tumbled across the plaza, crushing countless stone slabs and plowing terrible furrows in their wake. As they struggled to rise from the ground, they found themselves facing a dozen red streaks of light flying towards them at high speed.

Those were the “Diamonds Flying Cards” thrown by Chen Lun!

Swish swish swish—

The razor-sharp red cards, rotating at high frequency, sliced through the Insect People’s bodies with the ease of the most terrifying cutting blades in the world.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The three bugs collapsed like shattered porcelain.

The disgusting dark green fluid spilled everywhere, and their robust Life Force had not yet dissipated; even the shards continued to twitch.

But Chen Lun no longer spared them a glance. He returned the giant sword to its cane form and walked gracefully over to Hamilton, asking softly,

“How’s the situation?”

Hamilton gave the young man before him a deep look, then dispersed the shadowy cleavers in his arms and lowered his eyelids.

“Not too good… We’ve lost two team members.”

“…”

Chen Lun fell silent for a few seconds to mourn.

“I’m very sorry.”

“It’s an unavoidable affair,” Hamilton said, shaking his head.

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

“Let’s clear out those damned Didak first, then talk.”

“Alright.”

Chen Lun’s response was very concise.

The two leaders then joined the fight and quickly killed the remaining Insect People. Hamilton asked one of the Sun Faction teammates to dissipate the floating light orb, and everyone orderly took refuge in a ruined building.

After a strenuous battle, everyone was feeling tired.

In the narrow spaces dotted with broken walls and slabs, there was only a tiny light created by Lane that was no bigger than a fingertip. The team members ate portable rations, resting and recuperating.

“On behalf of Team Two, I’d like to express our gratitude.”

Hamilton stood up and bowed to Chen Lun and the others.

The teammates behind him also bowed respectfully, their faces showing goodwill.

They had initially held some disdain for this leader of Team One, thinking he lacked the courage to bet. But now, that seemed to be a bias.

The man was not only powerful but had also helped them, which significantly improved Team Two’s impression of Jack. Now, their feelings were a mixture of respect and gratitude.

In the meantime, Chen Lun received a series of prompts on his panel—

[Hamilton’s Affection towards you has increased! Currently, Close!]

[Moor’s Affection towards you has increased! Currently, Close!]

[Jenna Mill’s Affection towards you has increased…]

Chen Lun closed the series of prompt boxes without a change in expression, then waved his hand and said,

“It’s no big deal, we all serve the Empire, I couldn’t just stand by… By the way, you entered the Dark World before us. Did you find anything?”

Hamilton sighed.

“Nothing… We’ve held out here for two days, but the conditions are too harsh. Not only do we have to avoid those Insect People, but we also must be vigilant against the treacherous terrain hidden in the darkness… Sara and Hector tragically fell along the way, and by the time we got here, we were completely exhausted.”

He pointed down at the ground.

“However, if we’re talking about discoveries, there is this city… This ancient city still has some traces from the past epochs. Perhaps we can find some clues in it. But we haven’t had the chance to investigate closely; we disturbed the nearby Insect People before we could do so.”

Chen Lun remembered the notes left to him by Mr. Bales, which had also mentioned the relics of the Ancient Era.

He stood up and slowly walked around the narrow ruins, his gaze sweeping over every corner. Suddenly, his attention was caught by a half-buried stone slab at the entrance that looked unusual.

Under everyone’s gaze, Chen Lun went straight over and picked it up.

Looking down, he saw it was marked with strange characters, which he recognized as being identical to the language on the “Monuments of Destiny” he had collected; it was the Anita language.

“Does anyone here speak ‘Anita’?” Chen Lun asked, turning around.

At this, one of Hamilton’s mature female teammates stood up.

“I’ve come across it a little bit.”

“Then please take a look and see what’s written on this tablet,” Chen Lun requested, handing her the object.

After examining the tablet closely for a moment, the female teammate frowned and said,

“It seems to be just like a ‘diary’ entry, but the Recorder notes that today… today he was supposed to pray at the monument in the center of the city, yet he was delayed due to… I’m not quite sure. In any case, he missed the prayers and is expressing remorse to the ‘Master of Destiny’.”

Chen Lun’s pupils contracted slightly.

‘Master of Destiny… is that referring to the Ring Duke?!’

After pondering briefly, he said to the others,

“I plan to scout out these ruins to see if I can find the so-called ‘monument’, which might have more clues.”

“Let’s go together. Leia knows a bit of ‘Anita’, and she can help you interpret if we really find the monument,” Hamilton proposed.

Chen Lun thought it over and, feeling that it made sense, nodded in agreement.

So he called to his team members, and the two investigation teams left the building in silence, heading deeper into the heart of the ruined city.

The darkness was deathly quiet, and none could see the others.

Many fearsome Didak Bug People were still roaming the area.
