Although they spent very little time together, Xu Fan still felt quite fond of the little girl in the shadows. Seeing her frozen in the stairwell, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
Although Xu Fan holds positions in both the Night Watch Bureau and the Restoration Society, he personally prefers to form his own faction rather than be bound by these organizations.
The little girl in the shadows looked quite pleasing to the eye, so Xu Fan decided to stand on the side of the Restoration Society and save her this time.
Rescuing a person frozen in ice is extremely difficult; firstly, you must not damage any of their organs.
This requires him not to use vibration or large-scale damaging skills to shatter the ice.
Moreover, melting such a thick block of ice by heating would take a very long time.
In such dire circumstances, time is of the essence, and every minute or second wasted will put Xu Fan in grave danger.
Then Xu Fan made a decision in three seconds and took out his Five-Strand Blazing Sky-Supporting Fork.
He stomped on the mysterious artifact, causing it to continuously release high-energy flames.
Seeing that the surrounding temperature had risen enough, he held a divine weapon, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, in each hand.
With a few vigorous swipes, the ice in front was shattered, perfectly preserving the part where the little girl in the shadows was located.
Xu Fan used his sword to pierce the ice block and placed it directly on top of the Five Flaming Sky-Supporting Fork, roasting it with high-energy temperature.
The effect was obvious; soon the ice on top began to melt, and the little shadowy girl, who had been keeping her eyes tightly closed, moved her fingers.
Just as it was about to melt completely, the dark figure suddenly jumped up and slapped Xu Fan across the face.
Xu Fan had now regained his original body, and with the help of his SSS-level talent, he was now a god-level warrior.
The slap not only failed to harm him, but also caused the little girl in the shadows to swell up.
"What a pervert! He even wants to look at such a young child!"
The little girl in the shadows quickly wrapped her body in shadow. Xu Fan was recovering from the shock because the ice had melted rapidly due to the extremely high temperature, leaving her completely soaked.
Girls tend to be more averse to these things.
Xu Fan did indeed scrutinize her carefully from head to toe.
"You don't have anything special to offer, so it doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, you won't lose anything."
The little girl in the shadows jumped up and slapped him across the face with her other hand.
As a result, both of her hands moved like small steamed buns.
"Seriously, why is your body always so stiff!"
Xu Fan quickly asked him why he had come to the beautiful country and why he was in this underground palace.
To everyone's surprise, the shadowy girl ignored him completely, not even glancing at Xu Fan, and headed straight upstairs.
Xu Fan pulled the shadowy girl's hand into his.
"It's too dangerous up there. Don't rush up. Let's plan a safe way to subdue the enemy."
The shadowy girl instantly transformed into a two-dimensional form, becoming a shadow, and lay down against the wall.
At this moment, her little face was bright red, just like a ripe tomato.
"Don't touch me without permission, or I'll start to become increasingly strange."
Xu Fan looked at his hand and saw nothing wrong. Why was the shadowy girl reacting so strongly?
"These are all secondary issues. Tell me quickly who exactly is up there, and why do they possess such powerful abilities?"
The shadowy sister pointed to the scales in the corner and said to Xu Fan.
"Isn't it obvious? They are fish-men."
Are fishmen really that powerful on land?
"What is land to us is like water to them. You don't realize that this space is filled with a lot of water elements. They use this environment to deal with us."
"By the way, you still haven't explained to me why you came here."
The shadowy girl rolled her eyes at him. Although his entire eyeballs were black, Xu Fan could clearly feel the disdain emanating from her.
"You still need to ask that?"
"Of course it's a mission assigned by the organization. Otherwise, why would I have come all this way? To save the organization's money, I even smuggled myself directly into the cargo hold."
Whenever the topic of the Black Shadow trip to the United States comes up, my sister has endless complaints.
Xu Fan had no other choice but to immediately give the shadowy sister a Blood Bodhi.
"Eat it; it will help you recover from your injuries."
The girl with dark eyes glanced at what Xu Fan was holding, her eyes becoming even more wary.
"Isn't this the Blood Bodhi from the bottomless blood pool underground world? How did it end up on you?"
Did you steal something from the underworld?
You have no idea that you'll be cursed if you commit a crime there!
Xu Fan, however, remained relaxed as he explained to the woman in the shadows.
"These things were given to me for free by the snake people in the second layer of the Bottomless Blood Pool. I didn't steal them or rob them; I obtained them through legal means."
Upon hearing that the gift came from someone else, the shadowy girl no longer held back and grabbed the Blood Bodhi, stuffing it into her mouth.
The Shadow Sister is learning secret techniques related to the Shadow Clan.
Consuming Blood Bodhi can heal wounds, and its attacks will bear the mark of blood poison.
This is why blood bodhi seeds are so precious.
After regaining her strength, the shadowy girl wasted no more time and pulled Xu Fan upstairs, because he was accompanied by the King of Clubs.
He was a newcomer, but he was skilled in Gu poison and was highly valued by the organization's leaders.
Therefore, for this mission, the experienced Jack of Spades will lead the Queen of Clubs and the King of Clubs together.
The Queen of Clubs got separated from them during the operation, and the remaining enemies were dealt with by the Jack of Spades.
He originally intended to brand each person with a shadow mark, immersing them in a dark world of shadows.
However, those fish-men seemed to have the ability to shed their skin. As soon as the shadow imprint was placed on them, they instantly shed their scales and escaped.
That was an exceptionally fierce act, literally tearing off the scales from his own body—something no ordinary person could do.
They took advantage of the abundant water element in the space and began to cast water and ice spells.
Finally, the King of Clubs suddenly went berserk, detonating the venomous insects lurking on every merman.
This is why the Gu worms surged from the second floor directly to the first floor like a tidal wave.
The Jack of Spades thought the battle was over, so he became careless and was ambushed.
A mermaid with blonde hair suddenly attacked the shadowy sister from behind and froze her in the stairwell.
The King of Clubs dodged the attack and fled into the darkness, intending to cast another spell to kill the rest of them.
