Chapter 675: Chapter 476: The Station Where Dog Barking Echoes

After experiencing events with monsters, enchanting demons, ticket inspectors, and more, the car resumed its long-lasting calm once more. The train stopped at three stations during this time, with passengers boarding and disembarking. Yet, the number of people in the carriage where Li Yi was stayed consistently low, with at most only seven or eight passengers.

Li Yi sat through five stations altogether but still did not hear the sound of dogs barking.

This meant he had not arrived at the correct station.

Moreover, he had already delved deeply into this dark world full of buildings and was thoroughly lost; he himself didn’t know where he had ended up because the buildings outside remained unchanged as before, without any alterations. He suspected this train was circling within this endless city.

He still wasn’t sure of the operating pattern.

But one thing was certain: this train had fixed stations, and if he could obtain a map of the train stations, Li Yi could roughly determine his position.

"Sir, aren’t you getting off?" The young man named Sun Fei had also been sitting on the train for several hours and hadn’t gotten off at any prior station.

The same carriage had already switched two or three batches of people.

Li Yi said, "I haven’t reached my destination yet. What about you, are you getting off?"

"I boarded this train just to go somewhere different; I didn’t have a specific goal," Sun Fei said. "If possible, I’d like to see the end of the world. This here feels like a maze, a cage, trapping everyone inside. Unfortunately, my strength isn’t powerful enough, and I can only act in a relatively secure manner. Sir, you’re so skilled, you must have traveled to many places. Have you been to places outside this world?"

"Places outside this world? Yes, I have." Li Yi said.

Sun Fei’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Really? This monster-like cage world can truly be exited? I’ve heard some old rumors before, claiming that powerful adventurers found the correct path to leave this world, but no one has ever confirmed it. Sir, what is the other world like?"

"The world beyond is another world... also a cage." Li Yi said.

"How could that be... Rumor has it the world outside is bright and peaceful, without monsters or oppressive skyscrapers; there’s sunlight, soil, and various plants, where people can live freely without worrying about danger." Sun Fei exclaimed, his eyes wide open.

Li Yi said, "Humans are the biggest monsters. Wherever people live, danger follows. This world isn’t as bad as you imagine, and, of course, it’s not as good as imagined either. So, do you want to leave this world?"

"Yes, Sir, I want to leave this world and see the outside world. Even if you say the outside world is another cage with other monsters, I still want to see it. It’s my mother’s lifetime wish, and I want to fulfill it for my deceased mother." Sun Fei said.

Li Yi said, "When you truly leave here and venture into another world, you’ll find that everything seems to have changed, but everything also seems unchanged. But pursuing dreams is a good thing; however, your chosen direction is wrong. This train circles around in the city, and traveling by this means won’t allow you to leave here."

"Sir, then what should I do?" Sun Fei said.

"You should rely on your own legs to walk out of the buildings, head in the direction you wish to proceed, and when the road you travel is long enough, then you’ll be able to leave here." Li Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Unfortunately, I don’t have the powerful strength like you, Sir, to confront the dangers of darkness," Sun Fei said regretfully.

Li Yi said, "Strength is important, but courage shouldn’t be lacking. If you’re not afraid to die, you can get off the train with me. Perhaps I have the chance to guide you out of this world. Of course, this road isn’t smooth sailing, but fraught with danger and challenge, and there’s a high probability of dying on the way."

"It’s alright, as long as there’s this chance, it’s enough. Thank you for your guidance, Sir." Upon hearing this, Sun Fei was overjoyed and immediately stood up, bowing deeply to Li Yi with gratitude.

"No need to rush to thank me. You can thank me after you’ve truly succeeded someday; if you die on the way, you might end up blaming me for leading you down a path of destruction." Li Yi waved his hand and said.

He was willing to guide this young man not on a whim but because he felt he might need someone familiar with this world by his side. If one understands nothing, it’s easy to put oneself in danger; after all, there are too many survival rules in this world.

Sun Fei said, "Don’t worry, Sir, even if one day I die on the way to the outside world, I will be grateful, because I understand clearly, not everyone is lucky on the road to success. Some succeed, but some must fail. If I’m the one who fails, at least I would die on the road forward, and at least there’s hope ahead."

He was very earnest, and at the same time ready to accept the inevitability of death.

But what he couldn’t accept was being robbed of all his money, then turned into a dried corpse and hung on the train by ticket inspectors for ten years, repeating the work of selling tickets every day.

Crushing someone’s hope is scarier than killing someone.

And during their conversation.

The train suddenly jolted fiercely, catching the people inside off guard; they nearly stumbled onto the floor. Immediately, they heard a crackling sound outside the windows, as if something was striking against the windows.

"What’s happening?"

For a moment, many passengers on the train woke up from their daze and looked outside, wanting to know what had happened.

Why had the train suddenly jolted?

But when the passengers looked out, they instantly displayed horrified expressions.

Monsters.

All were monsters.

In the darkness outside the train, shapes of monsters appeared incessantly, some towering as giants over ten meters tall, others wielded great swords aflame. Under the illuminating firelight, surprisingly, there was a red-skinned Demon with double horns on its head, alongside thin, emaciated, ghastly pale figures stepping past the train, merely approaching with their chilling breath causing the train windows to become frosted.

The nearby skyscraper lights dimmed, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

At this moment, the monsters were ignoring the building’s shelter, directly rushing inside the skyscrapers, appearing to capture everything here, and annihilate all life.

"How could there be so many monsters gathering?"

"This, what exactly is this place."

"Damn it, they’re all high-level evil objects, and the most difficult Demons to deal with. Any one of them could tear us all to pieces if it charges onto the train."

At the same time.

The train also seemed to have reached a stop, accompanied by constant jolting, and its speed was getting slower and slower.

Obviously, this was a station.

"Sir, this is bad, the train is going to stop, which means we’ll be staying here for about ten minutes," Sun Fei said anxiously.

"Shh, stay quiet," Li Yi signaled him to stop talking.

Because at this station, he seemed to hear the sound of a dog barking.

He listened carefully once more.

Although there were all kinds of noisy, eerie sounds outside the train, there was indeed a continuous sound of a dog barking mixed in.

However, Li Yi’s silver eyes couldn’t pinpoint the source of the barking, he couldn’t find that dog.

But what was certain was that the dog seemed to be fighting against the evil objects, and it seemed to have been going on for a long time, with evil objects falling to the ground in the dark, apparently killed, but in a strange way, with no wounds on them, as if they had fallen asleep.

"Isn’t this just the station then?" Li Yi’s face suddenly darkened.

He thought it was just an ordinary building, never expecting it to be the most dangerous station.

Indeed.

He should have thought of this long ago.

If it were something good, would that Yang Wei have specially called him? Obviously, this was to make him fill a pit.

Meanwhile.

From the back seat, Xuan Yuezi opened her eyes and awoke. She glanced outside and said, "Taiyi, if we get off here, we might have to go through a bloody battle. Some creatures here are quite powerful, and we cannot recklessly use Daoist skills or Dao artifacts, otherwise the leakage of qi will attract the attention of evil beings in the dark."

"Immortal, I know." Li Yi slowly stood up at this moment: "But no matter what, I have to make this trip; my parents are still counting on that Yang Wei. If I breach the contract, with his petty nature, I reckon I’d have to be an orphan for life."

"I also ask the Immortal to join me in the battle."

After speaking, he respectfully bowed.

Xuan Yuezi revealed a faint smile: "Taiyi, there’s no need to be so formal, we’ve been through thick and thin together. Whether it’s one battle, ten, or a hundred, I’ll accompany you."

Having said that, she made a hand seal.

The True Dragon Power wrapped around her arms, and the Tiger Spirit condensed around her legs.

"I’m blessing myself with the Dragon Tiger Great Method, which allows my body to have the Power of Dragon and Tiger. This method is Xiang Xiangzi’s favorite, making her invincible in hand-to-hand combat. I’m using it for the first time, so there are still some areas where I’m not quite adept," Xuan Yuezi also stood up at this moment, and as she took a step forward, the ground beneath her feet dented, leaving a deep footprint.

At this scene, Sun Fei beside her widened his eyes.

Is this a joke?

One step can dent this train?

Is this still a person?

It’s probably another monster wearing human skin.

"See, I’m not very good at controlling the Dragon and Tiger Power. Taiyi, when you learn this method in the future, you’ll definitely be better than me," Xuan Yuezi smiled slightly, somewhat modestly. She controlled her own Dragon and Tiger Power and walked a few more steps forward.

The footprints gradually faded, indicating that her control over her own power was continuously strengthening.

Such an amazingly talented cultivator, there’s no field they’re not good at, it’s just a matter of interest.

Li Yi watched with twitching eyelids.

The Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Technique can be used like this?

As expected, in cultivation and fighting skills, these immortals are truly powerful, compared to them, he’s just a beginner.

Meanwhile.

The train that had slowed down finally came to a complete stop, and the horn sounded again.

But this time the sound of the horn was like a death knell, chilling everyone in the carriage to the core.

Because outside the train at this moment, a large number of monsters and demonic beings were staring through the darkness, seemingly waiting for these people to disembark.
