Chapter 467: Fork in the Road
Li Yi would never have thought that this city shrouded in darkness would be so strange. Even Xuan Yuezi, who was at the Third Flower Realm, couldn’t cut off the hair falling from the darkness. This situation reminded him of his previous painful experience in World No. 36.

If he had known this place was like this, he would never have come here.

Faced with Yang Wei’s sarcasm and ridicule, he was really powerless to refute.

“If it weren’t for helping you, I would have already split the darkness and left here. And why is it that only your phone can be called, and I can’t get through to you?” Li Yi asked.

“You haven’t read any books, and it’s difficult for me to explain to you with your current IQ. Don’t pay attention to my phone problem for now. You have to go into the house quickly to avoid these black hairs. They won’t enter buildings, but not all buildings can be entered. Some buildings look like buildings, but they are actually evil things. However, it’s up to you to figure out which specific building is fine.” Yang Wei’s voice continued to sound from the phone.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi looked around.

The buildings here all look the same, silent and empty, with nothing special to be seen. However, some of the buildings still have lights on, but these lights may be traps to attract pedestrians. But those buildings without lights are not necessarily safe either. The darkness there is thick and bottomless. Even if his eyes can see at night, he cannot see through the fog-like darkness.

There is an incomprehensible power here.

“Use the power of your blood to perceive.” Xuan Yuezi reminded.

Li Yi immediately reached out and touched the wall behind him. He felt something in his heart and his face changed. He immediately gathered his internal energy and quickly evacuated the vicinity of the building with Xuan Yuezi.

“There’s something wrong with that building. It feels exactly the same as before. Although it’s very subtle, I can definitely sense it.”

Then he came to another building and continued to sense with his hand.

But he didn’t have much time left. The black hair nearby was already floating in front of him. If he continued to wander around like this, once he was parasitized by the black hair, it would be difficult to escape and he would most likely have to abandon this body.

Xuan Yuezi, as a master of the Three Flowers Realm, also felt unhappy at the moment.

She was very displeased by these evil creatures and wanted to use her magic to destroy the city and force all the evil creatures out. However, she was worried that these evil creatures were very strange and, like these hairs, could devour magical power and could not be easily killed, which would instead bring disaster.

This made her feel very constrained.

However, Li Yi had experienced this feeling a long time ago. He had the power to move mountains and fill the sea, but it was difficult for him to use it. He was like a dragon swimming in shallow water or a tiger falling into the plain.

“This building seems to be fine.” Li Yi stared at the dark building, without sensing the danger just now, and rushed in immediately.

Xuan Yuezi took a step forward, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, and avoided the attacking black hair. Then her figure flashed again, and turned into a wisp of green smoke, passing through the gap. Then the green smoke condensed and turned into its original appearance again. The set of movements was smooth and pleasing to the eye. It was obvious that she was able to use all kinds of magic spells with ease and calmness.

“Fairy, why didn’t you use this magic earlier?” Li Yi opened his eyes wide.

“I used this magic to escape, Taiyi, what will you do?” Xuan Yuezi said calmly: “I just can’t kill these evil creatures, not that I can’t escape. Taiyi, you don’t need to worry about me. If there is really a big danger, I will take you away from here directly.”

“.”

Li Yi was silent.

It turns out that I am the burden.

“Let’s take a look at the situation first. It’s not time to run away.” He thought about it and decided to wait and see. After all, he was already here, and it would be a shame if he didn’t get his wages.

Xuan Yuezi nodded slightly, but did not affect Li Yi’s decision.

After the two entered the dark building, the dense hair hanging outside seemed to have lost its target of attack and did not chase them in. Instead, they wandered around for a while and then began to slowly disperse.

It seems that this is really as expected, and the people in the building will not be attacked by this black hair.

No wonder there was no one on the street.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have been hanging around outside.

Xuan Yuezi stretched out her finger and pointed in the air. Suddenly, little stars appeared in the originally dark building. These stars were like bright lights floating in the air, bringing soft light. Although these lights were not enough to dispel the darkness, they could at least bring some light so that one could see the surroundings clearly.

Li Yi recognized this spell, it was called Starlight Spell.

It can illuminate the surroundings. If one has strong magical powers, he can draw the sun, moon and stars in the sky out of thin air.

In addition to illumination, this spell has another magical use, which is to draw in the light of the stars to illuminate the flower of the soul, and in combination with other breathing methods, it can temper the soul.

“The structure of this building seems very unusual.” Li Yi frowned at this moment.

In front of him was a bottomless U-shaped passage with walls on both sides. There was only one path. No one knew where it led to, but it seemed to be guiding people in one direction, leaving them no chance to choose.

Unless he and Xuan Yuezi stayed at the door of the building all the time.

“Tai Yi, there is no need to put yourself in danger.” Xuan Yuezi said at this moment, her life is tied to Li Yi.

Faced with this unknown situation, she couldn’t help but persuade Li Yi not to put himself in danger.

Li Yi also hesitated at this moment. “Don’t worry, go forward boldly, I guarantee you’ll be fine.” However, Yang Wei’s voice continued to ring on the phone: “This corridor is safe, just keep going forward, don’t go off the road.”

“Is your words of any use?” Li Yi couldn’t help but complain.

“Of course it works. Those who listen to me have never been in trouble. On the contrary, those who don’t listen to me die miserably. This has been verified by many people. There is a metaphysical element in it. You have to believe it.” Yang Wei said confidently.

Li Yi always felt that this guy was leading him into a trap.

But considering that he still wanted to get the cross-border coordinates, he would have to go to World No. 36 again in the future. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the depths of the corridor with Xuan Yuezi.

After all, this Yang Wei is not from Earth, so it is still credible.

If the earthlings asked him to do this, Li Yi would turn around and leave without hesitation, without even looking back.

When Xuan Yuezi saw that Li Yi had made his decision, she said no more. Her responsibility was to protect Li Yi’s safety, not to interfere with his decision.

The two men moved forward quickly.

Just as Yang Wei said, there was indeed no danger here, and as they went deeper, light appeared in the passage ahead. The light came from the kerosene lamps placed on the ground, and there was a fork in the road behind each kerosene lamp. That fork also had light, and there were kerosene lamps hung in two rows on the left and right.

Li Yi stopped and looked towards a fork in the road.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

At the end of the fork, he saw a door.

The door was covered with blood-colored lines, like the blood vessels of a living thing, faintly beating. As for what was behind the door, no one knew. All his senses were blocked by the door, and he could not see clearly.

Li Yi did not take the detour, but continued to move forward.

soon.

He passed another fork in the road. At the end of that fork, there was a room without a door. The room was spacious and bright, with a table inside. The table was filled with various fruits, meats, and fine wines, which looked tempting and delicious. If a hungry person came here, he would surely rush over to eat and drink.

Li Yi still ignored it and moved forward again.

At the third fork in the road, he saw a half-open door with a large number of gold coins inside. Various priceless gems were piled on the gold coins. It seemed that as long as you take a trip, you can gain a lot of money and achieve financial freedom.

But these things have no appeal to Li Yi.

As a cultivator, his desire for money is almost zero. In his eyes, these things are no different from dirt.

We passed several forks in the road one after another.

Li Yi found that there was a door at every fork in the road, or a room without a door, with some things placed inside, trying to attract everyone who passed by.

And the further you go, the more bizarre the temptations become.

Li Yi finally stopped when he didn’t know which fork in the road he had passed.

He saw a tree growing in a room at the fork in the road. The tree was not big, but it had lush branches and leaves. The green leaves were like emeralds with dew hanging on them. The fruits it produced were golden and magnificent, emitting a faint golden light. With a slight sniff, he could even smell the alluring fragrance coming from the fruit tree.

“The golden apple in mythology?” Li Yi was surprised when he saw this.

“That fruit is indeed extraordinary. It’s too easy to get. I’ll get it for you.” Xuan Yuezi said immediately.

She doesn’t like ordinary things, but this golden apple is pleasing and may be helpful to practitioners.

Li Yi said, “Forget it. This is obviously a trap. Although the fairy lady is amazingly powerful, this place is strange and weird. It is better not to take risks. Yang Wei said not to go astray. We should listen to his advice.”

He was just curious about the golden apple, he didn’t have any greed, and he didn’t want to take risks for some material things.

If this wasn’t a matter concerning his parents, Li Yi wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.

Without saying much, Li Yi continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Xuan Yuezi had no choice but to give up.

But as he continued to move forward, Li Yi became more and more shocked, because the things that appeared at the fork in the road became more and more bizarre and precious.

At a few forks in the road, he saw a war hammer placed in a room. There were lightning and thunder all around it. It seemed like the weapon of Thor in the legend, a real artifact.

“It’s really outrageous.”

Li Yi had a feeling that he seemed to have entered a cross-border node again and arrived at an unknown place.
