Chapter 282 The Dangerous Road (Alliance Leader Extra: I am Zi Feng)
Li Yi and Lin Yue are both decisive people who don't like to procrastinate, so after packing and preparing, they drove off immediately.
It is not far from Tianchang City to Tianhan City, only about 300 kilometers, and it only takes two or three hours to drive.
"What does it smell like?"
As soon as he got on the highway, Li Yi smelled a strange smell, which was a bit stinky and made people feel nauseous.
"It's a mixture of feces and urine from some powerful creatures. Every city uses sprinkler trucks to spray it near the highway. It can drive away nearby ferocious beasts and even some extraordinary creatures." Lin Yue said, "Li Yi, don't open the window when you leave the city and get on the highway. Otherwise, if our smell spreads out, we will be easily spotted by extraordinary creatures."
"I see."
Li Yi immediately closed the car window upon hearing this: "If this thing is so useful, why not use it near the city's defense line? In this way, no creature will dare to enter the city, right?"
Lin Yue smiled and said, "If we do this, the highway will also be completely destroyed. Once those ferocious beasts and extraordinary creatures find out that they have been deceived, do you think this thing is still useful? It is only used on highways to ensure normal traffic between cities, but even so, the probability of passing vehicles being attacked is still not small."
"But you don't have to worry. The country will send powerful evolvers to patrol the highways. Any ferocious beasts and extraordinary creatures that appear nearby will be killed. This is to tell those things that the highways are dangerous and they should stay away. However, in this situation, many routes between cities are still paralyzed. It's good enough to ensure that the main roads are safe."
After saying that, Lin Yue pointed and said, "Look, that's the patrol car in front."
Li Yi looked at this moment, and saw an armored vehicle driving slowly on the road in the distance. There were heavy weapons of the extraordinary series on the vehicle, which could easily kill ferocious beasts and force back extraordinary creatures.
"The safety within the city is the responsibility of the Investigation Bureau. Of course, if a major disaster occurs that cannot be solved, the Investigation Bureau will also apply for assistance. At the same time, the Golden Academy will also send top experts to help deal with it. It is already good enough to maintain order at present, but it is only limited to the situation not getting worse. Once it gets worse, and the Tianqing incident occurs again on a large scale, then cities will definitely fall one after another." Lin Yue sighed and continued.
"Under this trend, cross-border seems to be the best choice. After all, even if we survive the second sky collapse event, there will be a third and fourth. Some people have estimated that the cosmic energy of our world is still rising. This means that the disaster in our world has not reached its peak, and this situation will last for at least a hundred years."
"Stop losses in time, or fight to the end. Obviously, most people choose to stop losses in time."
"A Tianqing incident that will last for hundreds of years?" Li Yi's scalp tingled. "This is really despairing. But where did you get this information, Sister Lin? It should all be confidential."
"It's a secret to us, but it's not a secret to the top evolvers. My teacher is a cultivator above the soul realm, and he knows a lot of important things. Even many high-level people will come to my teacher to discuss countermeasures and put forward some constructive suggestions. So sometimes when I am free, I will go back to Tianhan City to listen to my teacher's lectures." Lin Yue said.
Li Yi said: "It's really good to have a teacher like this, who can understand the changes in the overall situation."
The two chatted as the vehicle continued along the highway.
After leaving Tianchang City, we were surrounded by mountains, forests and wastelands. There were no buildings nearby. Even though there were some villages in the distance, they were now in ruins and almost destroyed. They had become a paradise for animals and plants. Some traces of human activities had been almost wiped out in the past six years.
This desolate place may seem peaceful, but in reality, everywhere you look, there are danger areas.
It is not only the areas near the city that are considered dangerous areas. The lost land outside the city is even more terrifying. Anything can happen in this area, and all kinds of bizarre things can appear. After the fall of the sky, people have become completely unfamiliar with nature, and they understand less than one tenth of it.
"what is that?"
suddenly.
Li Yi caught a glimpse of a fiery red object moving rapidly in the distant forest. Wherever it passed, the ground turned into scorched earth and the lush forest was ignited in an instant.
The huge fireball moved very quickly, crossing mountains and rivers as if it were flat ground.
"Supernatural creature? No, that's not right. It's a mythical creature. The fire on it is not real fire, but an energy field formed by the overly powerful cosmic energy." Lin Yue also suddenly widened her eyes: "Quick, drive away from this road, and don't target us, otherwise we will be doomed."
At this moment, Li Yi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the vehicle accelerated suddenly and reached the limit.
However, he is an evolver with amazing reaction speed, and he can control a speeding car without worrying about losing control.
He was just a little curious, and his pupils shrank and turned into vertical pupils, trying to see the truth about the fire in the distance.
As a result, when the sight reached the vicinity of the fire, everything around was distorted by the energy field, and it was impossible to see the creature in the fire clearly. I could only vaguely see that the other party was covered with a layer of red scales.
Li Yi had no choice but to retract his gaze and suppress the curiosity in his heart.
Fortunately, the mythical creature was just passing by and did not pay attention to the inconspicuous vehicle on the highway. As the creature ran quickly between the mountains and forests, it soon disappeared completely from sight after crossing a mountain. However, this mythical creature also scared out many dangerous things while rushing around.
Li Yi saw a giant green bird crying and flapping its wings, then it flew away from here as quickly as lightning. He also heard strange cries coming from the dense forest. Some extraordinary creatures were frightened by the fiery creature and ran around in panic. He even saw a giant python running out of the ravine. Trees collapsed wherever it passed, and it crushed out a mountain path.
Just a rough estimate, the giant python is at least two hundred meters long.
"After being disturbed by the mythical creature, all the dormant dangers in this area came out." Lin Yue said, "Fortunately, they were only concerned with escaping and did not enter the highway. Li Yi, did you see that python? It's not a python, it's a Qionglong. The clothes you are wearing are made of its skin. However, the Qionglong is not simple. Without the cooperation of several soul realm masters and heavy weapons of the extraordinary series, don't think of hunting it down."
"As for that bird, I don't recognize it, but judging from its size just now, it shouldn't be an eagle. It's most likely a roc, a creature that only exists in legends."
"It's too dangerous outside this city." Li Yi took a trip on the highway and saw it for himself. Only then did he realize how dangerous this world is.
We are lucky to be able to defend the city from falling.
He felt it was almost impossible to restore the previous peaceful times.
Lin Yue sighed and said, "It is because of the endless dangers that cross-border has become the first choice. If you can protect your home, who would be willing to leave your home and go to another world? It's a pity that your cross-border operation did not go smoothly this time. In fact, if there were no ghosts in World No. 36, then it would really be the first choice for cross-border."
"But that world will also be destroyed. Unkillable ghosts, short-lived ghost riders, and ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation will feel despair just thinking about it."
Li Yi nodded in agreement.
That's why he started to plan his plans in the four seas and eight continents. Although the four seas and eight continents are not suitable for evolution and cultivation, they are suitable for practicing martial arts. As long as the problem of ghosts and gods is solved, it will be very suitable as a retreat.
The two chatted while they passed this dangerous section of the road safely.
There were no more signs of extraordinary or mythical creatures nearby, which made the two people feel a lot more relaxed.
Another hour passed.
The outline of a city appeared in the distance.
"We're almost in Tianhan City." Lin Yue said.
Li Yi said: "By the way, I specially prepared a gift for your teacher this time when I visited him. I think he will like it."
"You are too polite. My teacher is a very kind person. You don't need to prepare any gifts. Just tell him about the situation in World No. 36 when you go there. My teacher is very interested in the culture and practice of other worlds." Lin Yue said.
"Cultivation is not about fighting and killing, it also involves human relationships and worldly wisdom." Li Yi said with a smile.
But at this moment his expression suddenly changed, and he saw a person standing next to the highway in front of him. She was a graceful, long-legged beauty with fair skin and beautiful looks. The woman was stretching out her hand and waving at him, and next to her was a crashed vehicle, as if she wanted to hitchhike back to Tianhan City.
"Someone wants to hitchhike in a place like this? Sister Lin, I think something seems a little strange." Li Yi asked, but he also became alert at the same time.
Because he thought the woman was a little too beautiful.
The beauty is inhuman.
Lin Yue's face suddenly changed: "Don't stop, just drive over. If she dares to stop the car, hit her. We are still in the danger zone. What do you think the probability is of meeting such a beautiful woman to take a ride in a place like this?"
Li Yi's expression froze when he heard this. It seemed that his previous vigilance was correct.
However, the beautiful woman on the roadside did not seem to give up. She jumped up in the middle of the road and waved, trying to stop Li Yi's car.
But Li Yi looked calm and had no intention of stopping. He stepped on the accelerator and crashed into the car.
However, what was strange was that the beautiful woman was not injured when she was hit by the car. Instead, she suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and dispersed, disappearing in the rearview mirror.
"Sister Lin, did you see that the beauty turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared?" Li Yi was surprised and doubtful.
Then he discovered that the vehicle that had just crashed on the roadside was gone, and the guardrail next to it was intact.
Everything seems like an illusion.
"I saw it. It wasn't an illusion. Something nearby cast some kind of spell to confuse us. Fortunately, we didn't fall for it." Lin Yue frowned and said, "I didn't encounter this situation when I came here last time. I didn't expect to run into it this time. Moreover, this place is not far from Tianhan City. It's easy to fall for it if you're not careful."
Li Yi didn't say anything. He continued to look in the rearview mirror, but saw a figure flash quickly past the place where the accident happened. It was not big, had fur and a tail.
It looks like a fox?
