Chapter 224: Chapter 171: Acquaintance in the Danger Zone

""It seems like the dangerous area has changed from before.""

Li Yi was currently running through the dangerous area, he took out his phone to check the time, it was ten fifty in the morning, but the weather today was very poor, with thick leaden clouds enveloping the sky, blocking the sunlight, making the air feel especially oppressive, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to descend.

His steps involuntarily slowed down as he moved through the dangerous area, for he saw many severed limbs by the roadside, along with crimson bloodstains, from fierce beasts as well as humans, suggesting that many battles had recently taken place in the dangerous area.

Generally, such a situation would never happen because cultivators were usually reluctant to venture into the dangerous area. Only masters of the Spiritual Realm were willing to lead teams into the dangerous area to hunt extraordinary creatures.

"Forget it, I’ll head back first and ask Sister Lin if she knows anything. I’ve just left Ghost Street and know nothing about the changes in the dangerous area. It’s best not to linger here." Thinking this, Li Yi quickened his pace, holding his sniper rifle as he swiftly navigated through the urban ruins.

However, at that moment.

Li Yi’s expression changed, he suddenly heard sounds of a fight not far ahead, under several abandoned buildings, accompanied by bursts of gunfire echoing.

But from the sound of the gunfire, it seemed to be from pistols, not very powerful.

"Is someone in the dangerous area engaging with a fierce beast?" Li Yi did not want to meddle, but the direction of the sounds was exactly on his required path. Although he could detour, this would mean he had to plan a new route.

Changing routes randomly in the dangerous area is not a good idea.

"Forget it, let’s go and have a look. I have a sniper rifle, even if I face an extraordinary creature, I have the strength to fight."

Li Yi gave up the idea of changing his route and decided to check out the situation.

He slowed down, lowered his footsteps, and moved very cautiously, and after crossing a concrete ruin, he saw the real situation.

It was a team of cultivators who had entered the dangerous area and were being attacked by a pack of hungry wolves. These wolves were unusually large, some as big as a buffalo, with fur stiff like steel needles and huge fierce fangs, roaring fiercely, their violent aura was unbearable, clearly not just ordinary wolves, but evolved fierce beasts.

Facing a group of fierce beasts, that team of cultivators was clearly at a disadvantage. Despite fighting desperately, three or four teammates had already fallen, leaving only five people backing up against an abandoned building, struggling to hold on.

"The strength of these fierce beasts is not strong, only about the Inspiration Realm, but there are too many of them, at least a dozen or more. In this situation, unless a Spiritual Perception Master appears, this team is undoubtedly doomed. They are really unlucky, a group of people entered the dangerous area to hunt fierce beasts and encountered not one but a pack."

Li Yi’s pupils shone, secretly observing the situation on the scene.

In fact, the strength of this team was not very weak, among the survivors were three Inspiration Realm cultivators and the other two were from the Spirit Medium Realm.

With such a team composition, killing a few fierce beasts would be easy, especially since this was the periphery of the dangerous area where the likelihood of encountering Extraordinary Creatures was very low.

"Hey, those two look familiar." Suddenly, Li Yi looked at the only two remaining Spirit Medium Realm cultivators in the team.

One was Lv Jue, who had informed him during Ning Wu and her group’s assassination attempt, so he had narrowly survived, and he could say he owed Lv Jue a favor.

As for the other Evolver, it was a woman, whom Li Yi recognized as someone he met while working for Yang Yilong, her name was Zhao Xiaoxiao if he remembered correctly. The last time they met, Zhao Xiaoxiao had offered to invest in him, which he had declined, but being the first person who had wanted to invest in him, Li Yi still remembered her.

"How did these two end up following others into the dangerous area to hunt fierce beasts?"

Li Yi was puzzled.

According to his memory, both were rather cautious cultivators, unwilling to take risks, preferring to cultivate slowly in the safer old urban area.

But while he was pondering this, the team could no longer hold on.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed as a cultivator, who had just gained the upper hand in a fight against a hungry wolf and was about to deliver a lethal strike, suddenly sustained a severe injury, having an arm torn off by another wolf that had pounced on him.

"Fang Hang."

Lv Jue was horrified at that moment and wanted to help, but a wild beast’s low growl came from his side, and another hungry wolf crouched down, baring its teeth, staring intently at him as if it was about to pounce and shred him to pieces at any moment.

Stalked by such a fierce beast, he dared not make any sudden movements and had to stop.

The other two Inspiration Realm cultivators were also unable to cope with the continuous attacks from the hungry wolves, they were wounded, retreating continuously, with nowhere to go.

"We can’t win, the number of fierce beasts is too many, scatter and run!"

The one-armed Fang Hang shouted, he used the Eye-witness Skill to repel the attacking fierce beasts, then, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand, engaged in a fight with another hungry wolf. Although he barely managed to defend himself, being gradually worn down to death was just a matter of time.

Escape?

It’s easier said than done. Where can you run to in the dangerous area?

Besides, even if they ran, how could they possibly outpace this pack of fierce beasts?
