Chapter 625: Chapter 395: Dark Energy Monster

Ji Xinghuo had read about the geography and urban landscapes of the You Hui Clan’s world before the nuclear explosion on Black Ring Star.

The architectural style of the You Hui Clan was easy to recognize.

Unlike most Hui Clan members who were accustomed to living in caves or within mountains, they were more like humans, building modern cities with skyscrapers stretching continuously to the sky, breaking the horizons, and making full use of space.

The ruins in front of him were just like that.

However, the entire city, along with the ground, had been flipped over, turned upside down; the relics looked as if they were hanging above him.

After such drastic changes, the majority of the buildings were destroyed and collapsed, with only a very few made of unknown materials keeping their main structures intact. They stood inverted, like giant bamboo shoots piercing into the ground, holding up the dome above.

After over a thousand years of the ravages of time, the ruins were overgrown with ferns.

The collapsed ruins stretched endlessly.

Ji Xinghuo looked towards the opposite side of the ruins, and even his Wanxiang Star Pupil could not penetrate the ever-churning darkness.

The range of the ruins also exceeded the radius of electromagnetic induction.

The magnetic field was still in disordered chaos.

"Strange..."

Ji Xinghuo furrowed his brows; he had already entered the ruins, yet the electromagnetic induction was still unclear, and he couldn’t locate the source of the interference. It seemed to be everywhere but didn’t affect normal vision.

In the faint luminescence, he saw several fleeting shadows, "There are monsters in the ruins!"

But he didn’t act rashly and continued to observe.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo discovered some footprints, both human and other races, which suggested that the tracks were fairly recent.

"This city ruin has already been discovered," Ji Xinghuo was not surprised, as he used electromagnetic induction to find his way here. Others might have different methods or the same electromagnetic induction.

In the four hundred years since the reopening of Black Ring Star’s Star Gate, numerous mutants must have entered Eternal Darkness Rift Valley; it was impossible for no one to have discovered the ruins.

Perhaps it had been searched hundreds of times by the True Dragon race.

Given that, the danger should be minimal.

Ji Xinghuo remained invisible, moving unhurriedly into the relics, and immediately sensed the anomalies within.

His Wanxiang Star Pupil seemed to be covered by a shadow, an invisible yet tangible energy that filled every inch of space, like an ocean of ink, permeating all matter in space and generating a peculiar negative pressure.

It was this energy that interfered with the magnetic field, making him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, with every movement accompanied by a slight stickiness, but without that much resistance.

"Dark Energy?"

Ji Xinghuo speculated in his mind, "It could also be Dark Matter, or both."

Dark Energy and Dark Matter make up 96% of the universe’s matter. They are the foundation of the cosmos, even the cosmos itself, propelling the universe’s motion with repulsive force, yet they don’t absorb, reflect, or radiate light, nor do they interact with most particles.

The Dark Stringer is someone who, through Spiritual Energy, borrows and manipulates Dark Energy and Dark Matter.

Therefore, the Dark Stringer is one of the most powerful professions.

And the "Ancestor of Darkness" racial talent of the You Hui Clan makes them particularly outstanding in this field. Their research on Dark Energy and Dark Matter is so profound that even the True Dragon race falls short in comparison.

Back then, out of the five Shepherd Star Saints of the You Hui Clan, three were Dark Stringers!

"Over a thousand years have passed."

"Such a long time, even if the You Hui Clan studied Dark Energy here, it should have dissipated,"

"But the fact is, it’s still at work."

"There must be a secret!"

Thinking of this, Ji Xinghuo’s spirits rose, suspecting that there could be a treasure hidden. However, mutants who had visited before might have found it. Is it too late for him now?

Suddenly, he sensed danger.

In front of him was a building that slanted into the ground, originally at least two thousand meters tall, now only its core structure remained.

A dark shadow leaped from the shadow of the building’s wall, more than a hundred meters above the ground, diving towards him at extreme speed, shrouded in a large mass of dark mist-like shadows, blurring its outline, making it hard to discern.

Ji Xinghuo looked up and saw through the shadow in an instant.

This was a dark red monster!

It moved like a human crawling on the ground with its limbs, over two meters in length, its entire skinless body exposed in dark red flesh, with a tumor-like oversized head, but its face was without eyes or a nose, just a mouth full of layers of sharp teeth, and a pitch-black throat that seemed to swallow even light.

The monster’s forelimbs were disproportionately strong, each equipped with a pair of huge claws.

Though sightless, it could detect him, still invisible, with its horrific and ghastly appearance, launching a precise attack.

As Ji Xinghuo identified the creature, information about it appeared on his lenses.

"Shadow Eater!"

This was one of the most dangerous monsters on Black Ring Star, swift and elusive, whose claws could easily tear through metal. Its Defense Power and Recovery Power were also formidable, typically appearing only in the deepest underground.

Any Shadow Eater could cause a headache for any mutant, but what was most frightening was that they were gregarious predators!

A myriad of information flashed before Ji Xinghuo’s eyes.

In an instant, he understood the habits and weaknesses of the Shadow Eaters and reacted immediately.

Boom!

A flash of lightning exploded in the air, dispelling the darkness, with thunder reverberating through the ruins.

Simultaneously, Ji Xinghuo’s Plasma Gun fired, activating burst mode, ejecting a series of Plasma Beams.

Ziu ziu ziu...

The lightning, striking from below, momentarily stunned the Shadow Eater.

Its surrounding shroud of shadows was soon pierced, partially absorbing the energy of the high-temperature beam. The second beam followed closely, hitting its open maw with unerring precision, and exiting from the top of its head.
