Chapter 668: Chapter 470: Peril in the Darkness_2

"By the way, a train ticket costs one hundred gold coins each. If you don’t have the money, just kill a few monsters to earn some gold coins."

"So complicated?" Li Yi said.

But soon, the phone was cut off, and there was no sound.

Perhaps, as Yang Wei mentioned, there is some unknown force interfering with everything here.

After putting down the phone, Li Yi didn’t linger in the building. He immediately returned to the first floor, intending to leave. Although he didn’t have enough gold coins in hand, killing a soul monster outside would be simple for him, even if it might be difficult for others.

"Wait, you can’t leave here." Just then, the guard named Liu Ming stopped him.

"Oh, why is that?" Li Yi asked.

Liu Ming said, "It’s dangerous outside. Without the protection of the building, you two will die out there."

"It is very dangerous outside, but I think I can handle it. Thank you for your reminder." Li Yi said, continuing to walk towards the exit.

Liu Ming hurriedly chased after him and said, "Can you stay in this building? It’s been a long time since there were new adventurers. If you stay, the building can regain its vitality."

"I have very important things to do and can’t stay here." Li Yi shook his head in refusal, "But in return, I can give you this weapon, hoping you become an adventurer and lead the people in this building to survive."

Then he took out the scythe from within the Five Elements Bracelet and handed it to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming took it and fell silent, "But, my strength is very weak. Even with such a good weapon, I might not be able to defeat the monsters."

"No one is born a strong person. Have confidence in yourself. I hope to see you again next time I return." Li Yi patted his shoulder, giving him encouragement, but he still left without looking back.

Liu Ming, holding the scythe in his hand, didn’t try to stop him again, but watched as the two left.

And after Li Yi walked out of the building, he used Dao Techniques without hesitation.

Cloud Ascension!

A red cloud appeared, lifting him and Xuan Yuezi into the sky.

To find the train moving through the city, this was the fastest way.

However, this was indeed a bit risky.

Just as they ascended, flying over a few buildings, Li Yi saw at least five or six soul monsters around, laughing and crying strangely, then attacking with scythes in hand.

Li Yi ignored them as the speed of the soul monsters couldn’t catch up with him.

He flew over the city, observing the surroundings.

Yet the world seemed endless, filled with these square-like buildings, each identical, as if in a maze.

Fortunately, his luck was not too bad.

In just a moment, he saw a distant rapidly moving light, an old steam train shuttling through the city, seemingly the only mode of transportation in a world filled with evil objects.

Li Yi immediately chased after it, hoping to board the train when it reached a station.

But considering he didn’t have enough gold coins to buy a train ticket, his gaze turned to the group of relentless soul monsters chasing behind him.

By now, the number of soul monsters wasn’t just five or six, but a large crowd, at least a hundred with a single glance.

"Wipe them out in one go." As the cloud under Li Yi’s feet came to a stop, he then activated his Daoist Skills and opened his mouth to expel,

Under the Wind Summoning Technique, flames covered the sky, bringing a different brightness to this dark world.

Under the burning of Heart Fire Qi, those soul monsters vanished without any resistance, and after their demise, their scythes and money bags dropped, though not all soul monsters had money bags. After killing more than a hundred soul monsters, Li Yi only obtained over sixty money bags.

The number of gold coins in each money bag varied.

Some had a hundred or two, while others held only a few pitiful coins.

But on average, Li Yi still collected several hundred gold coins, enough to pay for a train ticket.

Just as he was about to continue his journey.

Suddenly.

Xuan Yuezi, with a solemn expression, stared at the dark sky above.

Perhaps Li Yi’s use of the Wind Summoning Technique made too much noise, disturbing some unknown existence.

At this moment, the dark sky suddenly tore open with a grim crack, and down from the crack fell a nearly ethereal fishing line. At the top of the line was a blood-red hook with a blood-stained eye continuously turning, eventually locking onto Li Yi.

"Is that a fishing line?" Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly.

The blood-red eerie fishhook drifted, flying straight towards him.

"Who is fishing all living beings?" Xuan Yuezi suddenly shouted, her voice echoing across the sky.

However, the dark sky gave no response.

Xuan Yuezi became furious instantly. Small threats she could ignore, considering them trials for Li Yi, but such targeting of Li Yi violated her taboo. To protect Li Yi, she unhesitatingly used her Daoist Skills.

In a moment, her Mana Flower bloomed, gathering Dragon and Tiger Power. As she raised her hand, a True Dragon of Magic Power coiled over her palm, then striking towards the crack in the dark sky.

The True Dragon roared, tearing through the vacuum, shaking the sky.

With just one strike, the dark sky was exploded into a grim crack, and through the crack, sunlight spilled down, but quickly the surrounding darkness enveloped it, sealing the gap again.

At the same time.

In the depths of darkness, Xuan Yuezi’s True Dragon of Magic Power churned, battling an unknown entity. The dark sky, like a calm sea, churned up monstrous waves while blood and flesh rained down continuously, transforming into various evil objects upon touching the ground.

There were enormous hungry wolves, man-eating monsters, and bizarre artifacts.

But the falling flesh was swiftly absorbed by the nearby buildings.

The buildings, having absorbed the flesh, all lit up, their lights synchronously illuminating, as a strange energy field radiated out.

Under this energy field, those evil objects formed by blood became weak, with some collapsing dead on the spot.

But soon.

Xuan Yuezi’s delicate body shuddered, spitting a mouthful of blood, her eyes widening with disbelief.

"Let’s go."

Then she grabbed Li Yi’s hand, quickly hiding their presence, fleeing toward the train.

"Immortal, what happened to you?" Li Yi’s face changed.

"A powerful being lurks in the darkness. I won the magical battle, but then an even stronger force emerged, instantly destroying my True Dragon of Magic Power. While the opponent hasn’t reacted, we must hide and avoid this catastrophe." Xuan Yuezi said.

Her figure swiftly fled, using the Cloud-Riding Technique.

Her movements were elusive, weaving between the buildings.

Yet even so, the fishing line dropping from the abyss of the darkness, persisted in locking onto Li Yi, continuously drifting towards his position.

"The eye on the fishhook has fixated on me." Li Yi quickly realized the reason.

Xuan Yuezi’s face slightly moved, "I can’t make another move; my aura has already been exposed. If I act again, some terrifying entity in the darkness will notice, bringing even greater danger. You must find a way to sever that fishing line, or eliminate that fishhook. If you can’t, I can only take you away from here."
