115. Chapter 115: Meeting on Ghost Street

Because there were no teammates by his side this time when entering the danger zone, and no large group of cultivators accompanying him, Li Yi was particularly cautious. His eyes shone in the darkness, and his whole person was like a vigorous cheetah, moving quickly and steadily along a relatively safe route through the abandoned city.

Li Yi held the sniper rifle tightly in both hands. The bullets were already loaded, and he was even equipped with a high-precision scope. If there was any danger attacking him around, he would pull the trigger without hesitation.

This weapon, capable of hunting extraordinary creatures, gave him a great sense of security.

"Ghost Street is not far from the blockade line. I walked this route last time, so I have experience. As long as my luck isn't too bad, I shouldn't encounter danger." He thought to himself.

After all, the deceased Tao Ge said that extraordinary creatures have territorial awareness, and generally, they won't easily change their territory. The time interval from the last time he entered and left the danger zone to this time was not very long, so the previous safe route could still be used.

This is the benefit of experience.

Soon.

Li Yi passed the location where he hunted that leopard last time, and he could even see the footprints he left on the ground.

Everything was so familiar.

And arriving here also meant that Ghost Street was not far away.

But just as Li Yi slowed down and continued to move forward, suddenly, some kind of induction in his body was warning him, as if some danger was lurking nearby.

This was a signal sent by Spirit Inspiration.

Because Li Yi had already become a Spirit Inspiration Realm cultivator, it was just that his body was injured and not fully healed, and it would take a few more days to transform. Therefore, his current state was similar to Ning Wu's at the beginning. Under normal circumstances, Li Yi wouldn't have been discharged from the hospital in this situation and would have obediently stayed at the cultivation base to perfect his Spirit Inspiration.

Alas, Zhao Qian entrusted a dream, forcing him to make this trip.

Suddenly.

Li Yi's footsteps stalled, then he changed direction, turned into a black shadow, and leaped into a ruin of buildings. Then, the barrel of a sniper rifle stretched out from a hole in the ruins.

A pair of glowing eyes also lurked at this moment.

"It's not an illusion. Something is lingering around. It shouldn't be an extraordinary creature. Spirit Inspiration just warned, but didn't send a stronger signal." Li Yi was very calm, and he immediately chose to use the sniper rifle's scope to search around.

As long as he captured the target, he would immediately pull the trigger and kill it.

The scope also had night vision function, and he could see clearly at night.

And as Li Yi searched quickly around, a beast shadow wandering in the ruins came into his line of sight.

"That's actually a cat..." Li Yi's expression shifted slightly.

He saw a house cat walking in the danger zone so swaggeringly, and it was very leisurely and contented, occasionally jumping to the high places of the ruins, licking its fur and claws, looking not like a fierce beast at all, completely harmless.

However, Spirit Inspiration would not lie.

Li Yi soon discovered again that the cat's eyes were like green gemstones, emitting faint light, which was very eye-catching.

"This is not an ordinary night cat. This is a cat that has stepped into cultivation. Its eyes are very bright, just like a cultivator who has opened Spirit Medium... No, this degree of gaze is far beyond Spirit Medium."

"Whatever, shoot and kill it immediately."

The short thought didn't affect the movement of Li Yi's hands.

At the moment of locking onto this cat, Li Yi's hand had already pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A gunshot echoed in the dark night.

And almost at the same time, the cat turned its head suddenly, and a pair of green eyes locked directly onto Li Yi, who was hiding in the ruins.

Obviously, it sensed danger.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the gun rang, it moved instantly, its speed so fast that it was unimaginable, directly disappearing from Li Yi's line of sight, as if it had teleported.

This shot didn't hit, just exploding a piece of mud on the ground in front.

"The cat's reaction speed is too fast, almost five times that of a human, not to mention this is a cat that has practiced. It's normal not to hit." Li Yi searched around again and could no longer see the cat's trace. Although this shot didn't kill it, it also made the cat realize Li Yi's threat.

So it was scared away.

But that was enough.

Li Yi didn't want to get entangled too much, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he immediately carried the sniper rifle and continued to set off.

Continuing to walk forward, he never encountered other dangers again. It is thought that this area belonged to that cat, and other dangers had already been cleared by that cat.

This also saved Li Yi a lot of trouble.

Soon.

As Li Yi kept moving forward, a city street soon appeared in front of Li Yi. On the left and right sides were high-rise buildings. Although abandoned for a long time, they were relatively well-preserved in this area of the danger zone, not suffering damage, and not suffering attacks from extraordinary creatures.

The reason why it would be like this is because the front itself is the most dangerous zone.

Ghost Street!

Li Yi's eyes looked at that street.

That street was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, red lanterns were hung high, all kinds of human shadows were shuttling and wandering on the road, and one could faintly see some weird vengeful spirits wearing burial clothes, as well as some terrifying Yin soldiers with withered faces, looking like dry corpses. Anyone who didn't know would think they had stepped into the underworld. Any cultivator entering and leaving the danger zone had already set this place as a forbidden zone.

Because except for Li Yi, almost no one could leave Ghost Street alive.

"Arrived."

That weird everything was very familiar to Li Yi.

He checked the time.

Ten fifty-one.

There were nine minutes until the agreed midnight.

Li Yi took a deep breath, found a safe place to sit down, then took off the backpack behind him, took out the human skin mask that emitted a foul smell, and also put the mud horse into his pocket, ready to use it at any time. As for the sniper rifle, he chose to carry it on his back and no longer held it in his hand.

Because weapons like firearms have no effect on ghosts, and they almost can't play any role on Ghost Street.

After making these preparations, Li Yi put on the human skin mask and specifically followed the road last time, walking toward Ghost Street.

Because he opened Spirit Medium, Li Yi saw countless weird figures shuttling and wandering by his side the moment he stepped into Ghost Street. These people emitted bursts of death energy, and just by getting close, his Spirit Inspiration was warning him, making people feel strong discomfort.

The identities of the 'people' on Ghost Street are very complex. Here are vengeful spirits who died unjustly, living people in disguise, and Yin soldiers with terrifying strength. And there are both realistic things and netherworld things.

It is like the intersection of the human world and hell, existing many things that cannot be understood.

Li Yi carried the sniper rifle, wore the mask, held his breath as much as possible, and lowered his living breath to the lowest, so as not to attract the attention of some ghosts.

Moving forward cautiously all the way, he avoided a large number of crowds and began to look for the route from last time.

"I remember, if I continue to walk forward, there will be a small alley, and there are some ancient house buildings in the alley. Last time I saw Master there, but I don't know if Zhao Qian will still be there this time." Li Yi pondered secretly, planning to go back to the old place to take a look.

As he went deeper, the surrounding buildings gradually changed.

The high-rise buildings in reality began to disappear gradually, replaced by an ancient street with blue bricks and gray tiles. At the same time, the 'people' surging on the street were also getting more and more.

Li Yi didn't dare to touch any ghosts or vengeful spirits, and every time he avoided them cautiously.

At about eleven-ten in the evening, he finally found that familiar small alley.

"This is it." Under the human skin mask, Li Yi's gaze shifted slightly, and the scene of the day of parting immediately emerged in his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He drilled into the small alley.

This small alley is rarely visited, and only Yin soldiers occasionally wander over.

Li Yi accelerated his speed. He had a good memory, turning left and right in the small alley, walking through quickly, and in a short while, he had arrived in front of a small courtyard with a slightly open wooden door.

This small courtyard was where Master Zhao Ge taught him fist technique at the beginning.

He didn't expect that he would have a day to revisit the old place.

It's just that unlike last time, the door gods pasted in front of this small courtyard had completely faded, and were damaged beyond recognition. Only a few broken pieces of paper were still stuck on the wooden door, and the portraits on them had long been eroded and could not be seen clearly.

Li Yi pushed the door and entered.

A gust of cold wind blew up in the small courtyard, bringing a smell of mold and odor. At the same time, all kinds of paper money scattered on the ground flew, making people almost unable to open their eyes.

However, when Li Yi went in to investigate, he found that there was no one in this small courtyard.

In the main hall, he didn't see the coffins and spirit tablets of Zhao Qian and Zhao Ge. It was empty inside, and only a wooden board with a fist print left on the ground could prove that Li Yi hadn't come to the wrong place.

"The time has arrived, Zhao Qian is not here, could it be that some accident happened?" Li Yi checked the time again.

Eleven-thirty.

"Could it be that I came early, or wait a bit longer? If I haven't waited for Zhao Qian after midnight, then I will immediately take the mud horse back and not stay here." Li Yi also made a plan in his heart.

Looked around.

After confirming that it was still safe for the time being, he found a corner and sat down, waiting quietly for the time to pass.

However, Li Yi waited until twelve o'clock, and there was no change in this small courtyard. Instead, Yin soldiers wandered past the door during the period, and seemed to smell the scent of a living person, looking into the small courtyard.

Fortunately, Li Yi held his breath and didn't move, so the Yin soldiers didn't enter the small courtyard to investigate, avoiding a danger.

"Is it that the position I waited for is wrong? Last time Master and Zhao Qian entered Ghost Street from this small courtyard, but next time they might not appear in the same place. I should guard at the intersection, so that no matter where Zhao Qian comes out, I can see her."

Li Yi thought about it, didn't continue to guard, left this small courtyard, and then returned along the original small road.

Just returning to the entrance of the small alley, Li Yi suddenly saw a paper person standing there motionless.

However, when he looked carefully, he found that it was not a paper person, but Zhao Qian's figure, but Zhao Qian disguised herself too realistically, looking like a paper person for the dead in front of the grave at first glance.

"Really met Zhao Qian again?" At this moment, Li Yi was actually a bit excited, and walked over with big strides immediately.

Not yet close.

That paper person who looked like a young girl suddenly moved, and glanced back cautiously.

Zhao Qian was startled first, but then recognized the familiar human skin mask, and immediately became excited. The originally dim eyes suddenly had tears swirling, like a child who had suffered grievances and setbacks, suddenly finding a relative and reliance, and could no longer control her emotions.

"Brother Yi..."

A call of uncontrollable emotion appeared. Zhao Qian's eyes were red, and she walked over quickly, throwing herself onto Li Yi.

"Woo woo~!"

Feeling the familiar breath and the body temperature of a living person, Zhao Qian couldn't help it anymore and cried out. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
