Chapter 559: The Terrors of Darkniss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After travelling in the Red Wasteland for some time, the trio finally reached the entrance to Darkniss. When Ye Chong saw the entrance, he was stunned.

In the middle of the endless stretch of wasteland was a flat, black colored circle. It was 15 meters across, and suspended about 20 centimeters above the ground. It was like a gateway to another world.

Ye Chong was familiar with the black circle. He had seen it more than once. There was one in the underground tunnel, one on Yi Ju, and one in the Research Consortium's base on Spectre. The size of the black circles varied, but they were all black, perfectly circular, and suspended in the air. The similarities were there.

Xuan Ning and Sha Ya noticed Ye Chong's muted surprise. They had never seen that expression on him.

Xuan Ning was curious. He asked, "What is it? Have you been here before?"

Ye Chong quickly recovered himself and shook his head. "No."

"Let's go inside," Sha Ya interrupted them. "I always felt unsafe at the entrance. Let's go inside now."

"Alright." Ye Chong nodded. He moved the Spider closer to the black circle, ready to step through it. People with strong parapsychic sense had better instincts than normal people.

Xuan Ning smiled. "I once had that feeling too, but now I sense something new. The entrance feels unstable, but it's actually quite the opposite. A Level 8 shooter can sense its instability, but once you reach Level 9, you can sense that there is a very stable structure underneath the instability."

Xuan Ning had just finished speaking when a ripple appeared on the black circle.

"What was that?" Sha Ya gasped. She had never seen the entrance ripple like that.

Ye Chong looked at Xuan Ning. Was this really stable?

Xuan Ning look perturbed. "Something's not right. It became unstable suddenly, like it was stimulated by something." He closed his eyes and reached out with his parapsychic sense to the entrance. He had the strongest parapsychic sense of the three, and could detect the most minute details.

"Huh?" Xuan Ning opened his eyes wide and turned to Ye Chong with a weird expression. He said, "We should step back."

The Spider retreated about 10 meters away. The effect was immediately apparent. Once the Spider began retreating, the ripples at the entrance reduced until it eventually became flat again.

Ye Chong and Sha Ya could not understand what was happening.

Xuan Ning turned his attention to the ring on Ye Chong's finger. He hesitated before speaking again, "Your ring is a little odd. It was the cause of the instability at the entrance."

Ring? Sha Ya looked at the inconspicuous ring on Ye Chong's finger. It did not look particularly interesting to her.

"Celest's dimension keystone?" Ye Chong thought to himself in surprise. How was the ring responsible for this?

Ye Chong suddenly remembered the time when he was in the Research Consortium's laboratory on Spectre. The spatial window in the corner of the lab had transformed abruptly and sent him to Dual Forest. Could that be related to his ring too?

Xuan Ning saw the confusion on Ye Chong's and Sha Ya's faces. He explained, "I don't know what happened either, but I can sense that the ring was causing the entrance to bee unstable. The structure of the entrance seems to be affected by it. Once we back off, the entrance returned to normal. It looks like distance is key here. Hmm, the entrance feels normal now. The structure of the entrance is stable."

Ye Chong lifted his right hand pointed at the ring on it with his left hand. "This one?"

Xuan Ning nodded. "That's the one." He saw the inquiring look on Ye Chong and shrugged. "Don't ask me why because I don't know either." Ye Chong's ring looked ordinary. He could not understand what was happening as well.

Sha Ya watched Xuan Ning admiringly. This was the difference between Level 8 and Level 9. Xuan Ning could sense the structure of the entrance with his parapsychic sense, and even feel it transforming. What a powerful skill! Sha Ya never imagined that parapsychic sense could do this. Level 9 was almost a legend. People could only imagine what a Level 9 shooter was capable of. She just witnessed the true strength of a Level 9 shooter, and it was much more powerful than anyone could have imagined!

Ye Chong considered their situation for a moment and pointed at the entrance. He asked, "What is its structure like?" He was also curious about Xuan Ning's ability to sense the structure of the spatial window. His parapsychic sense was strong!

Xuan Ning shook his head in chagrin. "I can't say for sure. It's strange and mysterious! I don't know how to express it."

Ye Chong tried again with a more straightforward question. "How can we safely pass through the entrance?" He did not want to spend too much time on this problem. The fact that Celest's dimension keystone could disrupt the spatial window was already a very important piece of information for him.

Xuan Ning looked at Ye Chong. He could see that the man would not leave the ring behind. He considered the problem for awhile. "If we could approach the entrance fast, it should not be a problem."

"I see," Ye Chong nodded. His fingers tapped on the control console, and the Spider lunged towards the entrance without warning.

Xuan Ning was thrown backwards. He hit the back of his head on his seat and screamed like a madman. Xuan Ning roared, "Can't you at least warn us?"

Sha Ya threw a pitiful look at Xuan Ning, the admiration she felt for him fading fast. She marveled at how a Level 9 shooter was helpless against the unpredictable man, Ye Chong.

Once the Spider was close to the entrance, ripples began to form on the flat surface again. Ye Chong ignored the ripples and focused on piloting the Spider. The Spider charged head on towards the black circle and went right through it.

The surroundings turned dark. The image on the holographic screen was pletely different now.

It was very, very dark. Only a faint light allowed them to see their surroundings. The sky was dark. There were stars and moons in the sky. Nevertheless, darkness was not the only thing that defined this place. There was also a bright, hot red in sight - lava.

Hot lava flowed like rough waters, splashing violently as they went along deep trenches. The fiery waves could reach up to 8 meters tall. Despite being in the Spider, they could still feel the heat emanating from the lava.

There was a main branch of lava river that was about 30 meters wide. It branched out into thinner flows going downstream, like roots of a tree.

Ye Chong had never seen anything so magnificent. He was distracted for a moment.

"Leave the entrance now!" Xuan Ning shouted panickedly. "Quick! It's being unstable!"

Ye Chong quickly focused himself and pulled the Spider away from the black entrance.

The ripples on the entrance subsided once more and became flat again. Ye Chong watched the spatial window, suspended in midair, and felt fascinated by it. This place was pletely different from the Red Wasteland outside, but just by stepping through the "door
