Chapter 471 Danger in the Dark
After a brief understanding, Li Yi finally understood the lifestyle in this building. Although it was a bit outrageous, it all made sense when it came to the existence of unknown forces.

He bought the special map from the store and went to the 25th floor of the building.

It is marked here that there is a dead soul monster.

And it’s right here in this room.

Li Yi quickly found the corresponding location.

From behind a door covered with knife marks came strange sounds of crying and laughing, like ghosts and spirits, which made people feel a little creepy. To the residents here, the threat posed by the dead soul monsters was far greater than that of the golden rats before, because the dead soul monsters were almost impossible to deal with without special weapons and means.

Being able to lock it up in the room was already a huge price to pay, otherwise, with a dead soul wandering around the building, many people wouldn’t even dare to go out.

Li Yi looked inside through the crack of the broken door, and his pair of silver eyes locked onto the position of the dead soul monster.

He stretched out his hand and a stream of energy mixed with a wisp of heart fire shot out, instantly piercing through the door like an arrow and hitting the dead soul monster’s head accurately.

The seemingly random attack was quite powerful and should be enough to kill this monster.

However, Li Yi’s attack passed through the body and did not cause any damage to the dead soul monster. Instead, it angered the dead soul monster.

boom!
A loud noise echoed, and the sickle in the hand of the dead soul monster split a corner of the door. The sharp sickle with a cold glow was stuck on the door, and a huge force came, shaking the door, making it clang and crumble. Fortunately, the building here was blessed with some kind of power that could block the monster’s attack and prevent the dead soul monster from easily escaping from the room.

“Ordinary attacks are useless. It seems that this dead soul monster is a product of the soul. Only attacks that damage the soul can be effective.” Li Yi immediately realized.

The wind-calling technique should be useful.

After all, he could call upon wind to turn it into fire, and even the golden elixirs and Nascent Souls of immortal cultivators could be burned to death, let alone a dead soul monster.

Thinking of this, Li Yi activated his Taoist magic, controlled the power, and opened his mouth to spit.

A gust of wind instantly rushed in through the crack in the door, and then turned into a raging fire, which immediately spread out to form a huge flame. The flame instantly enveloped the dead soul monster behind the door. As the flames burned, the dead soul monster’s body was ignited, and it let out a painful scream.

After only a slight struggle, the dead soul monster’s body quickly disappeared.

But two things were left behind from the floating body, a rag purse and a wooden-handled sickle that gleamed with cold light.

Li Yi opened the door and picked up the two things.

The rag purse was filled with gold coins, and there were quite a few of them, about a hundred. It was far less than the gold coins that the golden rat exploded, but the dead soul monster still left a weapon.

He studied the sickle.

It is extremely sharp and can easily split metal. There are also ancient runes engraved on the wooden handle. These runes seem to have some kind of magic, making the blade of the sickle emit a faint cold light, which makes the sickle have the ability to hurt other people’s souls.

It is useless to an evolver of Li Yi’s strength, but it can threaten people below the soul realm.

“It’s really not easy for ordinary people to face this thing.” Li Yi said secretly.

However, Bai You said that this dead soul monster usually would not enter the building. This was a fish that slipped through the net. There must be a loophole in the defense somewhere in the building, which allowed the dead soul monster to get in.

“This corpse is connected to the entire building. If the corpse is incomplete, the corresponding part of the building will also become weak, and the monster can take the opportunity to enter the building.” Xuan Yuezi pointed at the face and chest of the female corpse.

The flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a pale skeleton.

In contrast, the energy fields on the top and middle floors of the building have become weaker, and are no longer sufficient to completely defend against the invasion of evil things from outside.

“So that’s how it is.” Li Yi suddenly realized and immediately understood the principle.

After putting the purse and the Death Soul Scythe into the Five Elements Bracelet, he planned to walk around the building with the map to see if there were any other monsters. If there were any, he would hunt them down. This would be considered a small help to the residents of the building.

But at this moment.

His phone rang again.

Needless to say, it must be Yang Wei.

It’s outrageous that in this damn place, only Yang Wei could get through to his phone which had no signal.

“Hey, Xiao Li, I asked you to come over and give me a hand, but you either got lost or lost contact. Where have you gone now? I’ve been waiting for almost an hour and I haven’t seen you. You’ve made me lose face in front of my friends. Fortunately, I’m strong and capable, so I can handle it. If it were anyone else, they would have died countless times.”

On the phone, Yang Wei complained bitterly, disliking Li Yi for wasting his time.

Li Yi said, “This damn place is full of evil things. Also, there are so many buildings, how would I know which one you are in? You have to tell me the correct location, otherwise it will take me at least several months to find you.”

“Didn’t I tell you the exact location? Didn’t I tell you on the phone? It seems that there is a force affecting my phone, preventing my important information from being transmitted.” Yang Wei was very surprised, and then said, “Now I’ll say it again, after you enter the world of the building, find the train that shuttles through the city, pay and get on the train, and get off at the stop where you hear the dog barking.”

“By the way, the train ticket is 100 gold coins each. If you don’t have money, just kill a few monsters and get some gold coins.”

“So complicated?” Li Yi said.

But soon, the call was disconnected again and there was no sound.

Perhaps it is true as Yang Wei said, there is some unknown force here that is interfering with everything.

After Li Yi hung up the phone, he did not stay in the building, but immediately returned to the first floor, planning to leave. Although he did not have enough gold coins, he could just go outside and kill a dead soul monster. Although this was difficult for others, it was very easy for him.

“Wait, you can’t leave here.” But at this moment, the guard named Liu Ming stopped him.

“Oh, why is that?” Li Yi asked.

Liu Ming said: “It’s very dangerous outside. Without the protection of the building, the two of you will die outside.”

“It’s very dangerous outside, but I think I should be able to handle it. Thank you for your reminder.” Li Yi said and continued walking out of the passage.

Liu Ming hurriedly chased after him and said, “Can you stay in this building? There haven’t been any new adventurers in this building for a long time. If you are willing to stay, this building will definitely be able to regain its former vitality.”

“I have something important to do and cannot stay here.” Li Yi shook his head and refused: “But in return, I can give you this weapon. I hope you can become an adventurer and lead the people in this building to survive.”

Then he took out the Death Soul Scythe from the Five Elements Bracelet and gave it to Liu Ming.

After Liu Ming took it, he was silent: “But, but my strength is very weak. Even if you give me such a good weapon, I may not be able to defeat the monster.”

“No one is born strong. You have to have confidence in yourself. I hope to see you again when I come back next time.” Li Yi patted his shoulder to encourage him, but still left without looking back. Liu Ming held the Death Soul Scythe in his hand and did not continue to persuade them to stay, but watched the two people leave.

After Li Yi walked out of the building, he used Taoism without hesitation.

Soaring into the clouds!

A scarlet auspicious cloud rose up, carrying him and Xuan Yuezi into the air.

This is the quickest way to find trains that travel around the city.

But doing so is indeed risky.

Li Yi just soared into the sky and flew over a few buildings, and he saw at least five or six dead soul monsters around him making strange crying and laughing sounds, and then they came towards him with sickles in their hands.

Li Yi ignored it because the dead soul monster couldn’t catch up with him at its speed.

He flew over the city, observing the situation around him.

But this world is endless, and there are U-shaped buildings everywhere. Every building is exactly the same, it’s simply a maze.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad.

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

In just a moment he saw a fast-moving light in the distance. It was an old steam locomotive shuttling through the city. In this world full of evil things, this old train seemed to be the only means of transportation.

Li Yi immediately chased after him, hoping to take the opportunity to get on the train when it arrived at the station.

However, considering that he did not have enough gold coins to buy a train ticket, his eyes turned to the group of dead souls that were chasing him closely.

Now, the number of dead soul monsters is not just five or six, but a large group. A random sweep will reveal at least hundreds of them.

“Kill them all in one breath.” The auspicious clouds under Li Yi’s feet stopped, and he then activated his Taoist magic and spit out a stream of air from his mouth.
Under the power of calling the wind, fire covered the sky and brought a different kind of light to this dark world.

Under the burning of the heart fire, the dead soul monsters died one after another, without any power to resist. After they died, the dead soul sickles and purses in their hands fell down one after another. However, not all dead soul monsters had purses. After killing more than a hundred dead soul monsters, Li Yi only got more than sixty purses.

The amount of gold coins in each purse is different.

There are as many as one or two hundred, and as few as just a few.

But on average, Li Yi still earned several hundred gold coins, which was obviously enough to pay for the train ticket.

Just as he was about to set off again.

suddenly.

Xuan Yuezi stared at the dark sky above his head with a serious expression.

Perhaps it was because Li Yi’s use of the wind-calling technique made too much noise and disturbed some unknown existence.

At this moment, a hideous hole suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and at the hole, an almost unreal silk thread hung down. At the top of the thread, there was a blood-red hook with a bloody eye on it. It kept turning and finally locked onto Li Yi.

“Is that a fishing line?” Li Yi’s face changed slightly.

The strange blood-red fish hook was floating and now it was flying straight towards him.

“Who is fishing for all living beings?” Xuan Yuezi suddenly shouted at this moment, and his voice spread throughout the sky.

However, there was no response from the dark sky.

Xuan Yuezi was immediately furious. She could ignore some minor dangers and just regard them as experience for Li Yi, but the other party’s targeting of Li Yi did violate her taboo. In order to protect Li Yi, she used Taoism without hesitation.

In an instant, her magic flower blossomed, and the dragon and tiger magic power condensed. When she raised her hand, a real magic dragon hovered above her palm, and then she slapped the torn hole in the dark sky through the air.

The real dragon roared, tearing the vacuum and shaking the sky.

With just one strike, a hideous hole was blasted open in the dark sky, and sunlight actually shone through the hole. But soon, the darkness nearby enveloped the area and filled the hole again.

at the same time.

In the depths of darkness, Xuan Yuezi’s magical dragon was rolling and fighting with unknown things. The dark sky was like a raging sea, with huge waves rising up. At the same time, a large amount of blood and flesh was constantly falling down. After the blood dripped onto the ground, it immediately turned into various evil things.

There are huge hungry wolves, man-eating monsters, and strange objects.

The fallen flesh and blood was quickly absorbed by the nearby buildings.

The buildings that absorbed the flesh and blood were now all glowing with light. All the lights in the buildings lit up at once, and a strange energy field emanated from them.

Shrouded by this energy field, the evil creatures transformed from blood became weak again. The seriously injured ones fell to the ground and died on the spot.

But soon.

Xuan Yuezi’s delicate body trembled and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

“Walk.”

Then she grabbed Li Yi’s hand, quickly concealed her breath, and fled towards the train.

“Fairy, what’s wrong with you?” Li Yi’s face changed.

“There was a powerful creature hiding in the darkness. I defeated the opponent in a fight, but then an even more powerful force appeared and instantly defeated my magic dragon. While the opponent didn’t react, we hid and avoided this disaster.” Xuan Yuezi said.

She fled extremely fast, using the technique of riding on clouds and mist.

His figure was erratic, shuttling back and forth between the buildings.

But even so, the fishing line that had dropped from the depths of darkness still locked onto Li Yi and continued to float towards his location.

“The eye on the fishhook is staring at me.” Li Yi quickly discovered the reason.

Xuan Yuezi’s face changed slightly: “I can’t attack again. My breath has been exposed. If I attack again, it will definitely be noticed by some terrible creature in the darkness, and then it will bring greater danger. You must find a way to cut the fishing line, or kill the fishhook. If you can’t do it, I can only take you away from here.”
