172. Chapter 172: Acquaintances in the Danger Zone

"The danger zone seems to have become a bit different from before."

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

When he traveled through the danger zone, his footsteps slowed down involuntarily, because he saw many incomplete limbs and scarlet bloodstains on the roadside around him, some from fierce beasts and some from humans. It seemed that many battles had occurred in the danger zone recently.

According to the past, this situation was absolutely impossible to happen, because practitioners generally were not very willing to set foot in the danger zone. Only experts in the Spirit Perception Realm were willing to lead teams into the danger zone to hunt extraordinary creatures.

"Forget it, let's go back first. If there is any situation, ask Sister Lin and you will know. I just left the Ghost Street and don't know anything about the changes in the danger zone. It's best not to linger here." Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but speed up his pace. He held the sniper rifle and quickly traveled through the ruins of the city.

However, at this moment.

Li Yi's expression moved. Suddenly, he heard fighting sounds coming from under several abandoned buildings not far ahead, accompanied by bursts of gunfire echoing.

However, judging from the gunfire, it should be a pistol, and the power is not very great.

"Is someone fighting with fierce beasts in the danger zone?" Li Yi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the direction the sound came from was exactly the place he had to pass. Although he could go around, this meant he had to plan a new route.

Changing routes at will in the danger zone is not a good thing.

"Forget it, go and see. I have a sniper rifle, and I have the strength to fight even if I face extraordinary creatures."

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

He slowed down, lowered his footsteps, and stuck over very cautiously. Finally, after crossing a cement ruin, he saw the real situation.

It was a team of practitioners who entered the danger zone together. At this moment, they were besieged by a group of hungry wolves. The size of this group of hungry wolves was a bit exaggerated, like a yellow ox, and the hair was like steel needles standing upright, and the fangs were very thick. Between roaring, the violent aura was full. At a glance, it was not an ordinary wolf, but an evolved fierce beast.

Facing the siege of a group of fierce beasts, that team of practitioners was clearly at a disadvantage. Although they were fighting desperately, they still lost three or four teammates. Now only five people were left, backing against the abandoned building, struggling to support.

"The strength of the fierce beasts is not strong, only about the Inspiration Realm, but there are many of them, a full dozen. In this situation, unless a Spirit Perception expert appears, otherwise, this team of people will definitely die. They are really unlucky. A group of people entered the danger zone to hunt fierce beasts, but they didn't encounter one, but encountered a group."

Li Yi's vertical pupils glowed, staring at the situation on the scene secretly.

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

Such personnel configuration is easy to kill a few fierce beasts. After all, this is the outskirts of the danger zone, and the probability of encountering extraordinary creatures is very small.

"Hey, those two seem to be people I know." Suddenly, Li Yi looked at the only two Spirit Medium Realm practitioners in that team.

One is Lu Jue. Last time when Ning Wu and her group assassinated him, it was Lu Jue who communicated with him, so he survived by luck. It can be said that he still owes Lu Jue a favor.

As for the other evolver, she is a woman. Li Yi recognized her. She was also someone he met when working for Yang Yi Long. It seems her name is Zhao Xiaoxiao. He remembered that when they met last time, Zhao Xiaoxiao said she wanted to invest in him, but he refused. However, as the first person to offer to invest in him, Li Yi still had some memory.

"How did those two follow others into the danger zone to hunt fierce beasts?"

Li Yi was a bit puzzled.

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

However, just when he was thinking about this, this team of people couldn't hold on anymore.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed. A practitioner who was fighting a hungry wolf and had just gained the upper hand and was preparing to kill it suddenly suffered a heavy blow and had an arm torn off by another hungry wolf that pounced.

"Fang Hang."

Lu Jue was shocked at this moment and wanted to go over to help, but a low roar of a beast came from his side. Another hungry wolf was crawling, baring its teeth, staring dead at him, as if it would pounce and tear him to pieces at any time.

Being stared at by such a fierce beast, he didn't dare to act rashly and had to stop his footsteps.

The other two Inspiration Realm practitioners also couldn't deal with the continuous attacks of the hungry wolves. They were injured and kept retreating, and there was no way out.

"Can't beat them. There are too many fierce beasts. Let's scatter and run."

That Fang Hang who lost an arm roared. He used the eye-witness technique to force back the pouncing fierce beast, then held the dagger in his hand tightly and fought with a hungry wolf again. Although he barely managed to parry, being consumed to death was only a matter of time.

Run?

It's easy to say, where can you run in the danger zone?

Besides, even if you run, how can you run faster than this group of fierce beasts?

However, they also understood Fang Hang's mood at this moment. After all, they couldn't beat them, and sooner or later they would be eaten by fierce beasts. If they scattered and ran at this moment, maybe there would be a chance for one or two to survive.

"Cheng Pingfang, be careful, a beast is going toward you." Zhang Hang roared again at this moment.

Another Inspiration Realm practitioner was shocked. He was fighting with three fierce beasts at this moment and could barely survive. At this moment, his inspiration gave a warning, and he had already felt a hungry wolf pouncing from behind, but he was powerless because he really couldn't free his hands.

"Am I going to die here?" This practitioner named Cheng Pingfang thought desperately. He roared, his pupils glowed, wanting to stimulate his potential to kill the fierce beasts.

But he couldn't do it.

Three fierce beasts entangled him dead, just to win the opportunity for other companions to kill him.

"Bang!"

However, just at the moment when the hungry wolf pounced, a gunshot rang out.

The head of that fierce beast-level hungry wolf exploded instantly, and its tall body fell heavily to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it had no breath.

Such a sudden scene shocked these five practitioners and also scared away the fierce beast hungry wolves that were in a great situation.

"Saved?"

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

"Who, who fired the gun?" Fang Hang on the side searched left and right. He was also under reduced pressure at this moment because the fierce beasts were scared by this shot and didn't dare to attack again.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out.

A fierce beast that was still watching left and right was hit instantly. It was also the head that exploded, and the body fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Over there."

This second gunshot made everyone judge the position, and then they looked in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, Li Yi stood on a ruin, without even aiming, and fired as soon as he raised the gun. Such a distance was less than two hundred meters. With his shooting level, it was difficult to make a mistake.

"That is... Li Yi?" Lu Jue was stunned at this moment, recognized the person, and was both surprised and happy: "Li Yi, how did you run to the danger zone too? Didn't you join the Investigation Bureau and go on a mission?"

"Is it an acquaintance? Great."

Fang Hang, Cheng Pingfang, and the remaining Inspiration Realm practitioner were excited when they heard this.

In the danger zone, sometimes people are more terrifying than fierce beasts, because there is no law here, only the cruel law of the jungle. Two practitioners who don't know each other are very likely to fight just because they don't like each other. If you can't beat them, you will only be eaten clean, and not even a bone residue will be left.

"Li Yi? It really is him."

In the crowd, Zhao Xiaoxiao was covered in blood at this moment and was injured. Her face was a bit pale. Looking at Li Yi again, besides joy, she couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.

Looking back, Li Yi was still a poor boy, not even having taxi money. But only a few months have passed, and Li Yi is already a number one figure in Tianchang City.

"Bang!"

Li Yi wanted to fire a third shot, but at this time, this group of fierce beasts had already reacted, howling one after another, sending signals to their companions. Then, their huge bodies were extremely flexible, scattered, and hid in the ruins and behind cover at an amazing speed, not giving him a chance to shoot.

This led to his predicted shot hitting the cement board. Because it was just an ordinary bullet, it couldn't shoot through the cement and take the life of the third fierce beast.

He wanted to raise the gun to find other targets again, but found that no fierce beast was exposed in his field of vision.

He could only secretly say it was a pity.

After all, they are fierce beasts, have a certain intelligence, know the power of firearms, and know how to deal with firearms. After two shots, there was no chance.

Li Yi didn't want to consume, so he had to put away the sniper rifle, then jumped down from a high place and walked toward the few people: "Lu Jue, how 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 movement, so I was curious to come and see. I didn't expect to see such a scene."

"Li Yi, do you think I want to? Now the situation is not the same as before. The situation in Tianchang City is very chaotic. Fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures have appeared in the danger zone, the abandoned city area, and the old city area. Recently, the Investigation Bureau and the Practitioners Association have jointly issued a death order. Every practitioner who has opened the Spirit Medium must hunt a fierce beast and turn it in."

Lu Jue smiled bitterly and quickly and briefly explained the situation: "I originally wanted to turn around in the abandoned city area and go back, but there were too many companions, so I had no choice but to form a team to turn around on the outskirts of the danger zone to see if I could try my luck. I thought a group of ten people would be very stable and could rely on the advantage of many people to slowly besiege and kill fierce beasts. But who knew that I would encounter a group of hungry wolves as soon as I came up."

"Damn it, it's really unlucky."

Li Yi frowned: "There is such a thing? Then those blockade lines failed?"

"I don't know. I only know that there is a problem within the Investigation Bureau, and the fierce beasts have inexplicably increased. They can no longer be handled in time. All practitioners in Tianchang City must be mobilized... By the way, some old city areas in Tianchang City are even more terrifying. Several supernatural events have occurred, and many people have died."

Lu Jue stopped here: "Li Yi, now is not the time to talk. The fierce beasts around are still wandering. They were not scared away by your sniper rifle and are still trying to find an opportunity to pounce and kill us."

Then, his expression changed and he saw the figures of hungry wolves shuttling through the ruins nearby. They were constantly approaching Li Yi, seeming to treat Li Yi as a powerful enemy and wanting to join forces to kill him.

"Listening to you say this, things are really serious." Li Yi's expression suddenly became solemn.

Supernatural events in the old city area, fierce beasts in the abandoned city area, traces of extraordinary creatures.

And the problem within the Investigation Bureau... How long have I been away? Adding up before and after, it's only about twenty days, right? How could so many things happen all at once.

However, the threat brought by fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures has always existed. Last time Wang Jian took him to kill many fierce beasts in the abandoned city area and stabilized the situation for the time being.

Now it seems.

Is it because of the problem within the Investigation Bureau that the fierce beasts were not exterminated in time, leading to this series of crises?

"Li Yi, hello, thank you for saving us." Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Li Yi with a complicated look, but she still expressed her gratitude very politely.

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

Lu Jue's friend?

Zhao Xiaoxiao understood when she heard this. She couldn't even count as Li Yi's friend. She just happened to be in a team with Lu Jue and was saved by the way.

If it weren't for that incident back then, maybe she could also become friends with Li Yi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiao felt regret again.

It's fine if you can't see some people after missing them. If you see them again, it's inevitable that you won't feel good in your heart.

"Li Yi, be careful, the fierce beast is staring at you."

Suddenly, Zhang Hang, who had lost an arm, roared suddenly. He noticed the abnormality. A hungry wolf actually rushed out from the nearest ruin at this moment, roaring and pouncing toward Li Yi.

Inspiration warning.

"Seeking death."

Li Yi's vertical pupils glowed instantly, and he turned around and threw a punch.

The muscles, bones, and skin were combined into one, and the majestic energy exploded from his body, almost instinctively throwing a killer move.

Thunder God Hammer!

White air waves rose from his fist, the air was neighing, and the explosion of energy was like a thunderclap.

After his fist energy traveled around the Four Seas and Eight Continents, it was no longer what it used to be. Supported by martial arts cultivation, his current strength can be said to be invincible in the Inspiration Realm, and even Spirit Perception is estimated to be difficult to take this punch head-on.

"Boom!"

Li Yi's fist directly pierced the head of that fierce beast, and then the air wave rolled back, the remaining power vented, directly blasting the hungry wolf away instantly. The corpse hit the nearby ruins heavily, and even the thick cement board was shattered on the spot.

The fierce beast was killed with one blow.

Seeing this scene, everyone else opened their eyes wide, revealing an unbelievable look.

Is this, is this still the strength that a practitioner in the Inspiration Realm can possess?

It's fine to kill a fierce beast with one punch, but that kind of fist energy explosion is shocking, and the punch just now actually set off white waves? Is it possible that the punch has already hit a sonic boom?

It's simply inconceivable.

Although everyone knew that Li Yi had obtained a strange encounter in the danger zone and mastered a fist technique, only by seeing such a fist technique performed with their own eyes could they understand how big the strength gap between practitioners can be.
