Chapter 721: Chapter 721

"So that's how it is." Baro said with a cold smile.

"If I'm not wrong, those little rats will definitely start with the research institute. The rest is up to you," Luo De said with a sneer.

"Don't worry, now that they've entered our territory, they shouldn't think about leaving," Baro said with a cold laugh.

Meanwhile, several armed individuals burst into the research institute.

Instantly, the institute was thrown into chaos.

The leader, holding a gun, said coldly, "Everyone, put your hands on your head and get down. Anyone who moves, we shoot!"

Although the researchers were part of a military organization, they were frail and had never seen such a scene. Frightened, they obediently lay on the ground.

At that moment, Emon, Lin Chen, A Shi, and Xu Jiayi quietly entered the interior of the research institute.

Using Lin Chen's X-ray vision, in the basement, they finally found the entrance.

Lin Chen blasted the hole open with a ball of flame, and the four of them entered the basement interior.

They stood dumbfounded in the corridor; the underground base was simply too vast, its long corridors seemingly endless.

The corridor was dark and long, utterly silent, making it eerily peculiar.

Lin Chen led the way, with Xu Jiayi and A Shi in the middle, and Emon bringing up the rear. They all proceeded cautiously.

Just then, a sudden light appeared ahead, followed by countless ghostly shadows rushing towards them.

Using his X-ray vision, Lin Chen saw that these creatures were monsters with bizarre appearances, their eyes glowing blue, moving as fast as lightning.

Lin Chen had never seen these animals before. Each was hideously ugly, and their teeth and claws were extremely hard.

Clearly, the monsters saw them as prey, their mouths dripping with saliva as they swiftly pounced on the group.

"Be careful!" Lin Chen's gaze intensified as flames surged in his hands, pushing forward against the swarm of monsters.

"Boom!" Two balls of flame burst forth, annihilating the foremost few monsters into nothingness, but more monsters continued to surge from behind.

"What on Earth are these things?" Lin Chen looked at the grotesque creatures, feeling nauseous.

What was more surprising was that some of these monsters even knew some basic spells.

A monster that resembled a tiger suddenly spewed a ball of fire from its mouth.

"Damn it, what the hell have they been researching down here?"

Lin Chen, in the lead, continually slashed at the approaching monsters, and the few that slipped past were quickly dealt with by the others behind him.

Although the four's attack was fierce, the monsters seemed endless, more of them charging forth as each was slain.

These mutated monsters were very strange. Lin Chen had tried to use the beast control technique on them, but it had no effect.

These mutated monsters were more like zombies, still trying to bite you even if blasted to pieces.

After killing countless monsters, the four finally reached a metallic corridor.

Oddly, as soon as they stepped into the metallic corridor, the monsters dared not advance any further.

Looking back, Lin Chen noticed that the tunnel they had just charged through was filled with stark white bones.

"These bastards, they've actually been feeding these beasts with people." Lin Chen recognized at a glance that many of these bones were human skeletons.

Continuing along the metallic tunnel, they saw countless strange metal pipes extending ahead.

Finally reaching the end, they entered a broad plaza.

Upon arriving at the plaza, a glamorous woman descended the steps from the opposite side.

"Pan La!" Lin Chen had clashed with this woman countless times and recognized her at a glance.

By Pan La's side stood the Matt-styled Nabarro, and behind the two were ten robust men armed with dual swords.

Lin Chen's gaze grew sharp as he looked at the robust men behind him; their weapons were exactly like those used by General Luo De.

"Be careful, these people are tough to deal with," Lin Chen said gravely.

The other three nodded, their expressions solemn.

Pan La coldly looked at them, "I didn't expect you would find your way here, but that's even better. Since you've come to meet your deaths, it saves me the trouble of hunting you down one by one."

Lin Chen smiled faintly at Pan La, "Is that so? Let's try it then; you won't escape this time."

At that moment, Emon fixed an icy stare on Pan La and Nabarro, his face filled with anger, "Was it you who killed Sha Kun?"

Nabarro burst out laughing arrogantly; suddenly, his figure changed into the likeness of Sha Kun, "You mean him?"

"It was you indeed!" Emon's body surged with fiery Spiritual Energy, and flames erupted from him.

"That idiot knew he faced an enemy, yet when I transformed into his wife, he couldn't bring himself to strike. You didn't see his pitiful state at death, still clutching a torn photo even as he was dying..." Nabarro said mockingly.

"Shut up! You bastard, that photo was of the people he loved most—his wife and daughter. How could trash like you understand Sha Kun's feelings? I'll kill you for Sha Kun's revenge!" Emon said coldly.

Pan La giggled, "Want revenge? You should deal with these warriors behind me first."

With a wave of her hand, those robust men, like robots, unsheathed their dual swords and charged at the four individuals.

"What incredible speed!" exclaimed Lin Chen, the Thunder Sword appearing in his hand as the three formed a circle to protect Xu Jiayi in the center. Xu Jiayi, on the other hand, was sniping from a distance.

However, their formation was quickly disrupted, and Lin Chen was entangled by five dual-sword-wielding men.

These five men coordinated exceptionally well with each other, and their swordplay was as fast as lightning.

Meanwhile, Emon and another were also embroiled in a bitter struggle.

The strength of these men was extremely uniform, and even with his dual attributes of thunder and fire, Lin Chen could only manage a stalemate against them.

On the other side, Emon and another were already struggling to cope, the three not only needing to fend off their attackers but also to prevent any swordsmen from closing in on Xu Jiayi.

In a short while, all three were covered with wounds.

"I'll go and play with them a bit," Nabarro said, hardly able to restrain himself.

"Alright, finish them off quickly," Pan La said with a cold smirk.

"Sure, let them witness the might of Nabarro!" At those words, Nabarro charged towards Xu Jiayi like lightning.

Nabarro's combat experience was extensive, and he recognized that Xu Jiayi was the weak link among them.

Lin Chen's eyes chilled, and his Thunder Sword traced a lightning bolt that repelled a swordsman in front of him; in the next instant, he charged toward Nabarro, intending to stop him.

At that moment, two more swordsmen blocked Lin Chen's path.

At this time, another two were also tied up by other swordsmen, hence unable to aid him.

Xu Jiayi, seeing Nabarro charging toward her, fired from both guns.

Bullets flew, yet the opponent neither dodged nor flinched, letting the bullets hit him.

Wonderingly, the bullets clearly passed through Nabarro, yet his wounds closed up incredibly fast.

"What kind of monster is this guy?" Xu Jiayi gasped out as both guns clicked empty.

"Tsk, tsk, let me crack open your skull!" Nabarro drooled as he rushed toward Xu Jiayi.
