Chapter 172: Acquaintances in Danger Zone

"The danger zone seems to be a little different than before."

Li Yi was running in the danger zone at the moment. He took the time to open his mobile phone and check the time. It was now 10:50 in the morning, but the weather was very bad today. Thick leaden clouds covered the sky, the sunlight was blocked, and the air seemed particularly dull, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.

As he was traveling through the danger zone, his pace slowed down involuntarily because he saw many broken limbs and scarlet blood on the roadside around him, some from ferocious beasts and some from humans. It seemed that many battles had taken place in the danger zone recently.

In the past, this situation would never happen, because practitioners are generally unwilling to set foot in dangerous areas. Only masters in the spiritual perception realm are willing to lead teams into dangerous areas to hunt extraordinary creatures.

"Forget it, let's go back first. Just ask Sister Lin if there is any situation. I just left Ghost Street and I don't know anything about the changes in the danger zone. It's best not to stay here." Li Yi quickened his pace when he thought of this. He quickly moved through the ruins of the city with a sniper rifle in his arms.

Yet at this moment.

Li Yi's expression changed, and he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from several abandoned buildings not far ahead, accompanied by bursts of gunfire.

But judging from the sound of the gunshot, it should be a pistol, and the power is not very great.

"Someone is fighting with ferocious beasts in the danger zone?" Li Yi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the direction from which the voice came was exactly the place he had to pass. Although he could go around it, it meant that he would have to plan a new route.

Changing course randomly in a danger zone is not a good idea.

"Forget it, let's go and take a look. I have a sniper rifle, so I can fight even against extraordinary creatures."

Li Yi gave up the idea of ​​changing the route and decided to go over and see the situation.

He slowed down, lowered his pace, and moved forward very carefully. Finally, after passing a concrete ruin, he saw the real situation.

A group of practitioners entered the danger zone together, and were besieged by a group of hungry wolves. These hungry wolves were extremely large, like a yellow cow, and their hair stood up like steel needles. Their fangs were very thick, and their roars were full of violence. It was obvious that they were not ordinary wolves, but evolved ferocious beasts.

Faced with the siege of a group of ferocious beasts, that team of practitioners was clearly at a disadvantage. Despite their desperate efforts in the fight, they still lost three or four teammates. Now there are only five people left, leaning against an abandoned building, struggling to hold on.

"The beasts are not very strong, only at the spiritual realm, but there are a lot of them, more than a dozen of them. In this case, unless a spiritual master appears, this team will definitely die. They are really unlucky. A group of people entered the danger zone to hunt beasts, but they didn't encounter one, but a group of them."

Li Yi's pupils lit up as he secretly stared at the situation at the scene.

In fact, the strength of this team is not very weak. Among them, there are three practitioners in the Inspiration Realm who survived, and the other two are in the Medium Realm.

With such personnel configuration, it is easy to kill a few ferocious beasts. After all, this is the periphery of the danger zone and the probability of encountering extraordinary creatures is very small.

"Hey, I seem to know those two people." Suddenly, Li Yi looked at the only two remaining medium practitioners in the team.

One of them is Lu Jue. The last time Ning Wu and his gang tried to assassinate him, it was Lu Jue who communicated with him, which allowed him to survive by chance. It can be said that he still owes Lu Jue a favor.

As for the other evolver, she was a woman. Li Yi recognized her. He also met her when he was working for Yang Yilong. Her name seemed to be Zhao Xiaoxiao. He remembered that the last time they met, Zhao Xiaoxiao said she wanted to invest in him, but he rejected her. However, as the first person who asked to invest in him, Li Yi still had some memory of her.

"Why did the two of them follow others into the dangerous area to hunt ferocious beasts?"

Li Yi was a little confused.

According to his impression, both of them were relatively stable practitioners who were unwilling to take risks and were only willing to stay in the safe old town and practice slowly.

But just as he was thinking this, the team could no longer hold on.

"what!"

A scream echoed, and a practitioner who had just gained the upper hand against a hungry wolf and was about to strike back was suddenly severely injured and had his arm torn off by another hungry wolf that pounced on him.

"Fang Hang."

Lu Jue was terrified at this moment and wanted to go over to help, but he heard a low growl of a wild beast beside him, and another hungry wolf was crawling on the ground, baring its teeth, staring at him, as if it was ready to pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any time.

Being stared at by such a ferocious beast, he dared not act rashly and had to stop.

The other two practitioners in the spiritual realm were also unable to cope with the continuous attacks of the hungry wolves. They were injured and kept retreating, with no way to go.

"We can't defeat them. There are too many beasts. Let's scatter and flee."

Fang Hang, who had lost an arm, roared. He used the witnessing technique to force back the ferocious beast that was rushing towards him. Then he tightly grasped the dagger in his hand and fought with a hungry wolf again. Although he could barely hold on, it was only a matter of time before he was exhausted to death.

escape?
It's easy to say, but where can you escape to in the danger zone?
Besides, even if he ran away, how could he possibly outrun these ferocious beasts?

However, they also understood Fang Hang's mood at the moment. After all, they could not win the fight and would be eaten by the ferocious beast sooner or later. If they scattered and fled at this moment, there might be a chance that one or two of them would survive.

"Cheng Pingfang, be careful, a beast is coming towards you." Fang Hang yelled again at this moment.

Another practitioner in the Inspiration Realm was suddenly horrified. He was fighting with three ferocious beasts at the moment, and it was already a struggle for him to survive. At this moment, his Inspiration Alert sensed that a hungry wolf was pouncing on him from behind, but he was powerless because he really couldn't free his hands.

"Am I going to die here?" The cultivator named Cheng Pingfang thought in despair. He roared with his eyes shining, trying to unleash his potential to kill the ferocious beast.

But he couldn't.

The three ferocious beasts entangled him tightly, just to give their other companions a chance to kill him.

"boom!"

However, just as the hungry wolf was about to pounce, a gunshot rang out.

The ferocious wolf's head exploded in an instant, and its tall body fell heavily to the ground, and it was dead in the blink of an eye.

Such a sudden scene startled the five practitioners and also scared away the ferocious hungry wolf that was in a very favorable situation.

"saved?"

Cheng Fangfang was still in shock. He didn't know when his pupils had turned vertical. After walking on the edge of life and death, his body was stimulated and evolved further.

"Who, who fired the shot?" Fang Hang was looking around. His pressure was suddenly reduced at this moment because the ferocious beasts were frightened by the shot and dared not attack again.

"boom!"

There was another gunshot.

A ferocious beast that was still looking around was hit instantly, its head exploded, and its body fell to the ground powerlessly.

"over there."

After the second gunshot, everyone determined the location and then looked in the direction of the sound. At this moment, Li Yi was standing on a ruin. He didn't even aim, but raised his gun and fired. The distance was less than 200 meters, and it was difficult for him to make a mistake with his shooting skills.

"That's Li Yi?" Lu Jue was startled at this moment, and recognized the man. He was immediately surprised and happy: "Li Yi, why did you run to the danger zone? Didn't you join the Investigation Bureau and go on a mission?"

"An acquaintance? Great."

Fang Hang, Cheng Pingfang, and the remaining Inspiration Realm practitioner became excited upon hearing this.

In the danger zone, people are sometimes more terrifying than beasts, because there are no laws here, only the cruel law of the jungle. Two practitioners who don't know each other may fight each other just because they are unhappy with each other. If you can't beat them, you will be eaten up without even a bone left.

"Li Yi? It really is him."

In the crowd, Zhao Xiaoxiao was covered in blood and injured. Her face was pale. When she looked at Li Yi again, she felt happy but also a little bitter.

Looking back, Li Yi was still a poor boy who didn’t even have money for a taxi, but just a few months later, Li Yi had become the number one figure in Tianchang City.

"boom!"

Li Yi wanted to fire a third shot, but by this time the group of ferocious beasts had already reacted. They howled and signaled to their companions. Then their huge bodies were extremely flexible and they scattered in all directions. They hid in the ruins and behind the bunkers at an astonishing speed, leaving him no chance to shoot.

This resulted in the shot he predicted hitting the concrete board. Because it was just an ordinary bullet, it failed to penetrate the concrete and take the life of the third ferocious beast.

He wanted to raise his gun to look for other targets, but found that there was no ferocious beast in his sight.

He could only secretly say it was a pity.

After all, it is a ferocious beast with a certain degree of intelligence. It knows the power of guns and how to deal with them. After two shots, there is no chance to defeat it.

Li Yi didn't want to waste time, so he put away the sniper rifle, then jumped down from the height and walked towards the few people; "Lü Jue, why did you run to the danger zone? Didn't you say before that you didn't want to take risks in the danger zone? I just passed by here and heard the noise, so I was curious and came to take a look. I didn't expect to see such a scene."

"Li Yi, do you think I want to? The situation is different now than before. The situation in Tianchang City is very chaotic. Ferocious beasts and extraordinary creatures have appeared in the dangerous area, the abandoned city area, and the old city area. Recently, the Investigation Bureau and the Practitioner Association have jointly issued a death order. Every practitioner who has activated the psychic medium must hunt down a ferocious beast and hand it over."

Lu Jue smiled bitterly and quickly and briefly explained the situation: "I originally wanted to take a walk around the abandoned city and then go back, but there were too many people traveling with me, so I had no choice but to form a team to go to the outskirts of the danger zone to see if I could try my luck. I thought a team of ten people would be safe and could rely on the advantage of numbers to slowly surround and kill the beast, but I didn't expect to run into a group of hungry wolves as soon as we got there."

"Damn it, this is such bad luck."

Li Yi frowned: "Is there such a thing? Those blockade lines are ineffective?"

"I don't know. I only know that there is a problem within the Investigation Bureau. Also, there are more and more vicious beasts for no apparent reason. We can't handle it in time. We must mobilize all the practitioners in Tianchang City. By the way, some of the old city areas in Tianchang City are even more terrifying. Several supernatural events have occurred there, and many people have died."

Lu Jue paused at this point and said, "Li Yi, now is not the time to talk. The ferocious beasts are still wandering around. They have not been scared away by your sniper rifle and are still trying to find a chance to kill us."

Then, his face changed as he saw the figures of hungry wolves running around in the ruins. They were constantly approaching Li Yi, as if they regarded Li Yi as a powerful enemy and wanted to join forces to kill him.

"Hearing what you said, the situation really is serious." Li Yi's expression suddenly became serious.

Supernatural events in the old city, ferocious beasts in the abandoned city, and traces of extraordinary creatures.

And how long had he been away since the problems occurred in the Investigation Bureau? It had only been about 20 days in total, how could so many things have happened at once?

However, the threat posed by ferocious beasts and extraordinary creatures has always existed. Last time, Wang Jian took his team to kill many ferocious beasts in the abandoned city area and temporarily stabilized the situation.

It seems now.

Was it a problem within the Investigation Bureau that led to the delay in exterminating the ferocious beast, thus triggering this series of crises?
"Hello, Li Yi, thank you for saving us." Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Li Yi with complicated eyes, but she still expressed her gratitude very politely.

"You're welcome. Lu Jue and I are friends. Since we've seen each other, I won't ignore you. And you're lucky to have met me. If you were a step later, it would have been terrible." Li Yi waved his hand and said very casually.

Are you Lu Jue’s friend?

When Zhao Xiaoxiao heard this, she realized that she was not even Li Yi's friend. She just happened to be in a team with Lu Jue and was rescued.

If that incident had not happened at the beginning, perhaps I could have become friends with Li Yi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiao felt regretful again.

It's okay if you miss some people and never see them again, but if you see them again, you will inevitably feel bad.

"Li Yi, be careful, the ferocious beast is targeting you."

Suddenly, Fang Hang, who had a broken arm, shouted loudly. He sensed something unusual. A hungry wolf rushed out from the nearest ruins and roared as it pounced towards Li Yi.

Inspiration reminder.

"court death."

Li Yi's pupils lit up instantly, he turned around and threw a punch.

The tendons, bones and skin are combined into one, and powerful energy bursts out from the body, and he almost instinctively launches a killing move.

Thor's hammer!

A white wave of air rose from the fist, the air was hissing, and the explosion of energy was like a thunderclap.

After traveling around the world, his punching power is no longer what it used to be. With the support of his martial arts training, his current strength can be said to be invincible in the realm of spiritual perception. Even spiritual perception would find it difficult to take his punch head-on.

"boom!"

Li Yi's fist directly pierced through the beast's head, and then the air wave rolled back, and the remaining power was released, which instantly blew the hungry wolf away. The corpse hit the ruins next to it heavily, and even the thick concrete slab was shattered on the spot.

The beast was killed with one strike.

Seeing this scene, the others all opened their eyes wide and showed expressions of disbelief.

Is this the strength that a practitioner at the spiritual inspiration realm can possess?

It was fine that he could kill a beast with one punch, but the power of the punch was so strong that it shocked people. And the punch just now could actually stir up white waves? Could it be that the punch had already created a sonic boom?

It's simply unbelievable.

Although everyone knows that Li Yi had an adventure in the danger zone and mastered a martial art, only by seeing this martial art being performed with one's own eyes can one understand how big the gap in strength between practitioners is.
