Chapter 554: Chapter 370: How come you’re here? (7K)_4

...

Time was of the essence, for no one knew when the next massive tidal wave would come. Yiluo Xi dared not waste time, and after taking several healing and purifying potions, she stepped out of the Oasis and onto the road in search of hope.

She did not travel on foot or use any vehicle, but instead, she summoned a Black Tower.

This was the treasure that allowed her to enter the shallows of the Ghastly Realms, something Yiluo Xi had chanced upon in one of her travels and had since become bound to her.

She named it the ’Tower of Infinity.’

Now, manipulating this tower, Yiluo Xi officially set off. The tower that stood at the outskirts of the Blackstone League’s Oasis gradually faded in form, and in the next moment, transported thousands of kilometers away, engulfed within the vast Grey Mist of the Ghastly Realm.

The Tower of Infinity itself possessed the ability to disperse the grey mist, its effectiveness more than ten times stronger than that of a Bright Light Lantern.

And it proved effective at this moment as well.

Even though the surrounding grey mist was thin, the emergence of the tower still attracted many Mysterious Evils. Seeing one ferocious face after another closing in, a Yiluo Xi appeared. She stood at the gate of the tower, wielding twin blades that slashed out arcs of light as pure as moonlight.

But the recovery speed of the Mysterious Evil was not slow either.

Yiluo Xi just silently kept swinging her blades while another Yiluo Xi stood at the core of the tower, her hands crossed, fingertips flickering with faint silver particles.

In an instant,

The Black Tower faded and vanished, leaving only several ferocious Mysterious Evils lunging forward, their eyes wide with bafflement.

...

...

Xie Yu was an ’organization newbie’ who had recently passed a rigorous assessment and obtained official membership with the strength of a third-level Awakening.

Lucky for him, not long after his induction, he snagged a spot on the assignment to guard the ’Outer Realm Oasis.’

He marveled sincerely at the organization’s prowess, already establishing a city in the Outer Realm; and at his own good fortune, striking such a coveted mission on his first attempt.

He had heard from the organization’s veterans that guarding the Outer Realm Oasis came with incredible benefits. Not only could one rapidly accumulate mystery, but one could also receive substantial contribution point rewards.

As for danger? Of course, there was danger, but Xie Yu had been prepared to burn bright as a Flamefire person since taking his oath of membership. He never feared danger, and he believed many of his comrades felt the same.

After winning the spot, Xie Yu was assigned to guard Oasis Number Two for a month. However, he would not be on duty every moment of that month, but would rotate with another team every three days, retreating to Blue Star during his rest periods to recover.

On the surface, the Flamefire warriors seemed indefatigable, even more relentless than the Mysterious Evil, fighting for over two months without showing signs of fatigue. In reality, apart from a few well-known mid-level and high-level squad leaders, the ordinary warriors’ guarding schedules were even less than a 996 workload. Nonetheless, they were more than willing to embrace it.

Xie Yu had been stationed in the eastern defense area of Blazing Fire Mall for over two weeks. Initially overwhelmed, he had suffered a few serious injuries, but after dozens of battles, he had grown very mature, his features slightly weathered, his gaze sharp as he scanned his surroundings, neither overly tense nor negligent in his vigilance.

At any sign of Mysterious Evil, he would detect it immediately.

Hm?

Xie Yu noticed a slight disturbance in the distant grey fog, a dark shadowcharging out of it.

The shadow was not large; was it a rare type of Mysterious Evil? He wondered, hand on the hilt of his sword while he stared intently, only to discover it was a figure in a black cloak.

The cloak draping over the figure was tattered, exposing the spotted leather armor beneath, with traces of dried blood barely visible on it.

"Is it a human?"

"Is it one of those who court death trying to traverse the Grey Mist Area?"

Over the past two months, the number of such suicidal Awakeners had dwindled, but occasionally some were still encountered, and his patrol team had cleaned up quite a few messes.

For these death-seeking Awakeners, Xie Yu had always been disgusted, but after all, he was a member of the Blazing Fire Mall patrol team, bearing responsibilities and obligations.

He called up two of his comrades and quickly descended the city wall, running in the direction of the figure in black robes.

As he got closer, he realized the state of the black-robed person was dire, continuously coughing up blood and staggering as she walked, and she seemed to be alone. Could it be that all of her companions had perished at the hands of the Mysterious Evil?

He mourned silently for a moment and approached cautiously.

"Ma’am, do you need help?"

"Cough cough, I... I wish to meet... the person in charge of your Flamefire Commerce Guild, I... I come on behalf of the Blackstone Alliance."

To see Yiluo Xi herself?

To be fair, there were many who wished to meet that leader, with some even bluntly saying they "wanted to be the empress’s dog."

But you’re so injured, why are you thinking of meeting Yiluo Xi? Besides, that leader... titan, is not someone you can just meet.

Wait, Xie Yu suddenly caught a keyword—the Blackstone Alliance!

Before he officially joined, he had worked for a time at the Shui Ze office, and he remembered the Blackstone Alliance was... an important partner of their Flamefire!

This... this had to be reported immediately.

In her dizziness, Yiluo Xi couldn’t clearly hear what the several patrol members in front of her were saying; she simply kept repeating the murmured words with her dwindling will.

Not until a plump physician in a white coat rushed over, casting a gentle stream of water and enveloping her in soothing melodies. Yiluo Xi felt as if she was soaking in warm water, comfortably warm, and the tension that had kept her going all this way no longer could be maintained. Her eyelids drooped a few times, and then she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

When she awoke again, what she first saw was a pristine ceiling and a crystal lamp dispersing a gentle glow.

This seemed to be a medical center, and she was lying in a bed.

Yiluo Xi’s head was still foggy, her thoughts sluggish. She stared blankly for a moment before gradually regaining clarity. She remembered, "That’s right! I have arrived at the Flamefire Oasis, and it seems I was rescued by people from the Flamefire Commerce Guild."

She glanced at herself, her body was bandaged in many places, and many wounds had healed. However, injuries from the contamination of the Mysterious Evil still lingered, and she felt much worse than before. Crazed whispers echoed unsteadily in her mind, and it felt like something wormlike was squirming beneath her skin.

But she couldn’t worry about that now, she had to... had to meet the person in charge of the Flamefire Commerce Guild, otherwise...

Struggling to sit up from the bed, she saw no one around, so Yiluo Xi leaned on nearby bed rails and shelves, unsteadily walking towards the door.

Suddenly, with the sound of a click, the doorknob turned, and the white door was slowly pushed open.

’Has the Flamefire Commerce Guild’s physician come? I wonder if I can meet the person in charge of the guild, I wonder if I can ask for reinforcements.’

Yiluo Xi was extremely anxious, and with the onslaught of whispers and illusions, her head buzzed with countless chaotic thoughts, so many that it was almost painful.

But suddenly, she froze.

The figure that walked through the door, why did she look more and more familiar?

The long black hair cascading over her shoulders, a pair of serene eyes shining with a blue light. This... this looks like An Jianyou!

Is it an illusion?

Then, all of a sudden, she was embraced, feeling the real softness and a familiar fragrance flooding her nostrils.

Yiluo Xi was completely stunned.

"Youyou, how come you are here?"
