Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 696 - 504 Infiltration (Part 4)

The Skull Tree King seemed especially unwilling to accept defeat, but amidst the light, it could only emit a strange, roar-like sound before completely turning to ashes.

In front of Gascolin, the ashes of the Skull Tree King scattered and swirled, covering him from head to toe, yet he sat there motionless, seemingly oblivious.

After a while, he snapped back to reality and turned to look at Murray, who was not far away. Neither of them could quite believe it. "We've been saved?"

Gascolin's heart filled with gratitude. Who saved my precious life? I must repay them generously!

Murray, tears streaming down his face, exclaimed emotionally, "Young Master, we've really been saved! BOO HOO..."

Two figures emerged from the great door. The one in front towered over ten meters tall, hardly resembling a human. The one following looked more normal but was also clad in a peculiar suit of armor.

Chen Gu asked, "Gascolin Hondarei?"

Gascolin scrambled to his feet. "Yes, it's me! It's me!"

Chen Gu, relieved, walked up to him. "Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention?"

"No need, I'm fine! We're all fine! We can move immediately. Oh, gods, please get me out of here! I've had enough, I've really had enough!"

Chen Gu nodded, reached out to place his hand on Gascolin's shoulder, and prepared to use the connection between Quantum Wizards to notify Modric to pull him back.

Just then, Gascolin's face suddenly stiffened. Immediately after, his body was torn to shreds from within by a terrifying force.

Countless serrated branches, dripping with blood and trailing shattered organs, shot up into the air, descending upon Chen Gu like a suffocating shroud.

The sudden attack caught Chen Gu off guard. He tried to use Quantum Teleportation to escape the ambush, but a hand suddenly shot out from behind him and firmly grasped his neck. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Then, everything around him shattered as if sucked into a massive, spinning vortex, transforming into a terrifying spiritual power storm that surged back into his mind!

"HEH HEH HEH..."

Balermo stood behind Chen Gu, gripping his neck tightly. He continually exerted more pressure, and Chen Gu's neck grew thinner and thinner.

Ambushed and battered by the terrifying spiritual power storm, Chen Gu had no strength to resist.

BANG!

Suddenly, a cannon blast erupted behind Balermo. A multicolored orb of light rapidly expanded to the size of a basketball and slammed heavily into his back.

However, his formidable Seventh Energy Level allowed him to endure the attack. His bone armor shattered, revealing mangled flesh and blood, but the injury was not fatal.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The trigger of the [Deep Space Hand Cannon] was pulled rapidly, firing all three remaining rounds in quick succession. At such close range, Balermo, already hit by one blast, couldn't dodge. He was struck repeatedly by the shells, his body riddled with bloody holes. Finally, he could no longer stand and collapsed, slumping to the ground.

He struggled to turn and saw Chen Gu standing behind him, holding the [Deep Space Hand Cannon]. He was stunned. Looking down at his own hands—the "Chen Gu" he thought he held was gone!

"What's going on?"

The two of them were in a pitch-dark corridor. Gascolin, the Skull Treants, and the others were simply not there.

From cracks in the corridor walls, innumerable bizarre, hair-like plants protruded. Bulbous growths topped their tips, but all these plants were now dead and withered.

Chen Gu held the [Deep Space Hand Cannon] in one hand. His other hand shot out, grasping at the air. The [Heavenly Position Number 4-11] item, which Balermo controlled, flew uncontrollably into Chen Gu's grasp.

"ARGH—" Balermo spat out a mouthful of blood. "How can this be... We were fully prepared! You should be the one who's dead!"

After seizing [Heavenly Position Number 4-11] using [Entanglement Control], Chen Gu immediately stuffed it into his Dimensional Prison Ring. This was to prevent Balermo from using any special control methods to snatch the powerful item back.

Only then did Chen Gu speak. "Still don't get it? How I came to suspect you? By the way, what should I call you? What's your designation in the Digital Group?"
