Chapter 78: Self-preservation of rare objects

Chapter 78: Self-preservation of rare objects (Alliance leader extra update: Bai's Murmuring Fruit Tree)

"What happened to Li Yi? Did he escape from the illusion successfully, or is he dead?"

now.

In the illusion, Zhang Lei, Taoist Pete, Zhang Zhixiong and others were all stunned at this moment.

Because just now, many terrible changes happened to Li Yi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the mural of white bones. At first, his flesh and blood disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, until he was completely reduced to a pile of bones. Then the bones collapsed automatically, and he could no longer maintain his human form. Finally, everything returned to calm.

In this situation, they couldn't even tell what Li Yi had experienced, whether he was alive or dead.

"Li Yi should not be dead. If he was dead, he would not be like this. Previously, a colleague's flesh and blood completely disappeared, but his skeleton did not collapse. He just became a complete skeleton standing in the same place. But this did not happen to Li Yi, so it is probably not a bad thing, but a good thing."

"The disappearance of the bones may prove that he has left the illusion and returned to reality."

Taoist Priest Peter pondered for a while and finally came to a conclusion.

"If that's the case, that would be great. As long as Li Yi goes out and reports the situation here to the Investigation Bureau, we will be rescued soon." Zhang Zhixiong said.

Zhang Lei said in a deep voice, "All this is just speculation. What if Li Yi doesn't get out of the illusion? We have to make plans for both scenarios. I suggest that colleagues who can't hold on any longer start to practice bone contemplation. Li Yi said that as long as one has no desires or fears in their hearts, they can get out of the illusion and escape from here. If they continue to waste time, I'm afraid other colleagues will die here in vain."

"That makes sense. We must give it a try at the last moment." Taoist Priest Pete nodded.

Now that everyone in the illusion had a direction, they immediately regained confidence, and even the speed at which their flesh and blood disappeared slowed down. This seemed to be the power of belief. In fact, it was not that they did not have the courage to give it a try, but they knew too little about this illusion, and even if they wanted to fight, they could not find the direction.

at the same time.

After escaping from the illusion, Li Yi had already begun to prepare for the rescue. Because after he completed the method of growing flesh from bones, he was able to avoid the influence of the illusion and enter and exit the building freely.

It is important not to be affected by the bone murals.

"Engineer Zheng, give me some time. I will break the illusion here and wake up everyone. What you need to do now is to be alert to your surroundings and not let others interfere with my actions." Li Yi said seriously.

"Okay, no problem. Liu Yue's teammates and I will be on guard." Zheng Gong nodded, but then asked, "But what are you going to do next?"

"I will find the source of the illusion and destroy it directly."

Li Yi took a quick look and then walked directly to Chen Hao who was trapped in the illusion. He took the sniper rifle from him and then checked it skillfully.

"There are not enough special bullets. Give me a few more."

Engineer Zheng immediately handed the remaining nine red bullets and an ordinary magazine to Li Yi: "That's all we have. If it's not enough, I'll have to apply to the headquarters for more."

"Wait, if you don't have enough bullets, I have more here." At this time, a practitioner carrying a sniper rifle quickly walked over.

His name is Fan Feng. He is a foreign combatant under Liu Yue. He had been on guard in a nearby building until he saw Li Yi wake up, then he rushed over.

As soon as Fan Feng came over, he handed most of the bullets to Li Yi, including red special type bullets and ordinary sniper bullets.

"Okay, thank you. I think it should be enough for you. You can keep some too, just in case." After taking the bullets, Li Yi immediately set off with the sniper rifle on his back.

"Five special bullets are enough for me. I hope your operation goes smoothly. If you need sniper support, just shout. I'm nearby." Fan Feng said.

"Okay." Li Yi nodded.

"Li Yi, be careful." Zheng Gong reminded.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Li Yi smiled, and after he was fully prepared, he walked towards the depths of the building without looking back.

He acted quickly and had already familiarized himself with the structure of the place while in the illusion, so if nothing unexpected happened, the location of the bone mural should be on the ninth floor of the building.

Passing through the corridor, Li Yi quickly went up the stairs.

On the way, he saw several living people standing still. Although their eyes were open, they were lifeless, as if they had lost their souls. It was obvious that their consciousness was still in the illusion and they had not broken free.

In addition to the living people, Li Yi actually saw a ferocious beast when he passed by the third floor.

The beast was huge, like a buffalo, but it had a mouth full of fangs and sharp claws on its feet. It looked extremely ferocious. No one knew what species it was. However, at this moment, the beast had dull eyes and stood there in a daze, as if it had been pulled into the illusion.

"Can even ferocious beasts enter the illusion? Could it be that ferocious beasts also love beautiful women?" Li Yi was a little confused.

But to be on the safe side, he raised the sniper rifle in his hand without hesitation.

After replacing the ordinary sniper bullet, Li Yi pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the bullet was fired, accurately hitting the beast's eye and directly piercing its brain, but the beast's body still did not fall down, and it was still standing there in a daze.

But the purpose of his doing so was to avoid awakening the ferocious beast in the illusion and causing some unnecessary trouble.

"Done." Li Yi did not waste time and continued to move forward. On the fourth floor, Li Yi also saw the bodies of two unknown creatures. Their consciousness was also pulled into the illusion and could not escape, so he fired two shots after passing by and smashed their heads before leaving with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Li Yi also saw some dangerous creatures on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors.

There were just too many of them, and he couldn't destroy them all. He just killed some of the creatures that looked more dangerous. He didn't want to waste time dealing with the rest. If he tried to clean them up layer by layer carefully, it would probably take him more than an hour to finish.

But even so, Li Yi easily dealt with more than a dozen dangerous creatures.

If the corpses of these creatures were taken out and sold, they would be worth at least hundreds of millions.

“After the illusion is lifted, the corpses of these ferocious beasts should be considered my trophies. After all, I killed them personally. Even if a part of it may be withheld by the Investigation Bureau, the money I can get will definitely not be less.” Li Yi became happy immediately when he thought of this.

The sniper rifle in his hand suddenly became particularly cheerful.

Hitting this kind of non-dangerous fixed target is extremely easy, and every beast killed means a large amount of money coming in, which makes Li Yi feel as happy as using cheats to play games to earn gold coins.

But he did not forget his rescue mission.

So after almost getting rid of most of the ferocious beasts, Li Yi went straight to the ninth floor.

Just like being in a fantasy world.

As soon as Li Yi arrived at the ninth floor, he saw a half-broken white marble wall standing in the middle of the ruins not far away. On the wall was a mural of bones. The mural glowed and emanated a mysterious power. He could confirm it with just one glance.

This mural is an absolute wonder.

And it is most likely a complete strange object, but this strange object has the magical power to confuse people and make them fall into illusions. Only people like Li Yi who can break through illusions can be unaffected. If it were other people, they would probably sink into the illusion before they even get close, unable to extricate themselves, and finally die with their consciousness dissipated.

"If it is a rare object, then I don't know if the sniper rifle in my hand will be effective. Besides, isn't it a bit too extravagant to destroy a rare object?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it. I didn't find this strange item. Many investigators in the Bureau of Investigation know about its existence, and it will be taken away sooner or later. Why should I worry about it?"

Afterwards, he became determined again, raised the sniper rifle in his hand, and directly replaced it with a red bullet.

Just as he was aiming at the skull mural on the wall.

Sudden.

A figure suddenly flashed in the sight.

A strong sense of crisis emerged, and Li Yi's whole body tensed up instantly. He realized that there might be danger here.

Suddenly, the figure appeared in front of Li Yi and attacked him, trying to kill him.

"Looking for death." Li Yi was furious. He counterattacked almost at the same time, and the sniper rifle in his hand fired.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed in the building. The power produced by the extraordinary sniper rifle combined with the special bullet was terrifying.

Just for a moment.

The attacking black shadow in front of him was pierced through instantly and torn into several pieces. The bullet still had power and penetrated several walls before finally disappearing outside the building.

After killing the figure, Li Yi finally calmed down and saw clearly what had attacked him.

It turned out to be a dried corpse with skin and flesh stuck to the bones, like a skeleton.
Although it was a mummy, he could still feel the terrifying explosive power and attack power displayed by this corpse.

This kind of strength should be at the level of inspiration.

"So the body of a practitioner in the spiritual realm is controlled by an unknown force and can move freely even after death?" Li Yi's expression changed constantly, and he soon realized something.

His eyes turned to the skull mural again.

Only this magical object can control the corpse and provide it with energy for movement. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the corpse to move.

The reason for this change.

All this happened because Li Yi just raised the sniper rifle and aimed at the mural.

"So the mummy attacked me in order to protect this skeleton mural from being damaged? Is this true or false? Could it be that the skeleton mural has its own ideas?" Li Yi's expression moved slightly, and he thought to himself.

 Additional updates are not counted as normal updates.
