Chapter 26: Falling and Escaping
Li Yi did not know that Yang Yi Long and the others had successfully hunted an extraordinary creature. Now he, Brother Tao, and Zhang Gao were still honestly guarding this observation point according to the plan, vigilant against the abnormalities around them.
"Two hours have passed, there has been no movement at all, this is too boring." Zhang Gao yawned at this moment, feeling sleepy.
After all, people are easily tired under high vigilance.
"If you are tired, take a rest. I will watch the remaining few hours. If there is a special situation, I will call you." Brother Tao said while smoking.
Li Yi said: "I will be with you, Brother Tao. I am very energetic now and not tired at all."
"No need to be so serious. I looked around several times just now, we are very safe here. The only thing that makes me a little concerned is the spider-like monster I drove away before." Brother Tao frowned: "Not being able to kill it might leave some hidden dangers."
"Wait, listen, what sound is that."
Speaking of this, Brother Tao's expression suddenly changed, and he listened carefully to the front.
In the city area shrouded in darkness in the distance, the roars and growls of beasts were vaguely heard. Besides that, there were some unusual movements echoing, and these sounds were approaching rapidly.
Beep beep!
At the same time, Brother Tao's mobile phone rang. It was a particularly important text message: Mission accomplished, evacuate the danger zone immediately.
Seeing this text message, Brother Tao's expression changed suddenly. He immediately threw away the cigarette butt and whispered: "Yang Yi Long probably finished hunting. Quick, we must leave here immediately. I have a premonition that we might encounter danger this time."
"What?" Zhang Gao was shocked.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly." Li Yi said.
Brother Tao did not hesitate at all at this moment, turned around and retreated rapidly along the route just now.
Seeing him so anxious, Li Yi and Zhang Gao did not dare to be careless, and immediately followed closely behind.
While the three were rushing downstairs, they also heard the commotion outside the building getting louder and louder. Something was rapidly approaching this side.
"Nothing that can survive in the danger zone is simple. No matter what situation you encounter later, just run, and then return along the original route. As long as you withdraw from the blockade zone, you will be safe. Those fierce things generally won't bite and not let go."
Brother Tao was still very righteous, and did not forget to exhort the two newcomers at this time.
But his words had just finished.
His figure braked suddenly, stopping his footsteps abruptly in the stairwell.
At this moment, the pupils of the three people shrank suddenly, their hair stood on end instantly, and a chill surged from the soles of their feet throughout their whole bodies.
On the wall of the stairwell in front of them, there were more than a dozen strange figures. Those people's skin was grey-black, merging with the surrounding environment, and several thin and long arms grew on their bodies. They appeared on the ground, ceiling, and walls like spiders, and kept crawling. Moreover, they moved forward silently. If it weren't for bumping into them at this moment, these monsters would probably not have been discovered even if they touched the top floor.
"I only drove away one just now, and now there are so many here." Brother Tao also felt fearful in his heart at this moment.
Such a quantity made a sense of despair suddenly arise in one's heart.
If they were surrounded, it would definitely be certain death.
However, before the three could take any action, in the stairwell in front, the group of spider-like human-like monsters accelerated their movements the moment they discovered the few people, approaching this side rapidly at an incredible speed.
"Run quickly."
At this time, the few people only had this one thought in their hearts.
Brother Tao reacted first. He turned around suddenly, his body erupting with powerful strength, trying to open up the distance between each other at the fastest speed.
However, just as he turned around, the wall beside him suddenly shattered, and a thin, strange arm suddenly appeared, heading straight for his head.
"What?"
Brother Tao was shocked and afraid. He never expected that such monsters were not only in the stairwell, but also on the floor separated by a wall.
It's too late!
At this moment, Brother Tao only had this one thought in his mind.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Brother Tao's head suffered a heavy blow. His body immediately lost its balance and hit the stairs beside him. Blood gushed out instantly, and his eyes went black instantly, and then he only felt a scarlet mess.
Buzz buzz!
Brother Tao's body swayed, his ears buzzing.
But out of the instinct for survival, he still hurriedly took out the black machete and swung it randomly.
It's just that he didn't hit anything. What greeted him were countless terrifying palms falling from the top of his head.
Screams echoed.
Li Yi saw Brother Tao being swallowed by the grey-black monster figure, his body torn apart, and blood staining the entire stairwell.
"A Spirit Medium Realm cultivator died just like this?"
He was terrified, but he didn't dare to hesitate for half a minute, and ran immediately. It's just that the route he chose to escape was not to retreat to the floor above, but to drill into the floor behind him.
"Li Yi." Zhang Gao's gaze was terrified. His route was to retreat along the original path, and the two were separated in the stairwell.
He wanted to change the route to follow Li Yi to escape, but it was too late now.
The monsters behind had already chased up. If he delayed now, he would only die more miserably.
Seeing Li Yi's figure disappear, Zhang Gao gritted his teeth and ran wildly all the way.
Whether the two could survive could only depend on their own abilities.
However, although the two escaped separately, the monsters did not mean to let them go at all, and also divided into two batches to hunt them down.
"Going to the top floor is certain death. This building is the tallest building here. Going upstairs is equivalent to being trapped, so I can only choose another route to leave."
Li Yi's entire body was taut; he was now moving through this floor of the building like a nimble leopard.
The terrifying crawling sounds behind him were continuous.
Li Yi dared not stop at all. His current strength had not even opened the Spirit Medium, and he had no decent weapons on him. Even if it were one monster, he couldn't deal with it. The only thing he could rely on was his flexible body.
He crossed the obstacles of sundries, quickly smashed the tempered glass door, and accelerated the speed of escape as much as possible.
Fortunately, Li Yi could see in the dark now, otherwise he wouldn't even have the qualifications to escape.
Under his desperate running, the monsters behind him gradually opened up a little distance, but he still dared not breathe.
"Must leave this building, otherwise I will die here." Li Yi's breathing was rapid, but his head remained calm.
"Where can I escape? The stairwell has been blocked, and the elevator shaft is not on this side, otherwise I could go straight to the first floor through the elevator shaft... No time, this floor is about to reach the end."
"Window."
Suddenly, Li Yi gritted his teeth and headed straight for that window.
Without even hesitating, he grabbed the window sill and flipped over.
However, this is the twenty-something floor.
If he fell from this height, Li Yi would definitely die.
In fact, Li Yi also understood, but he had no choice. This was the only way to live.
The wind roared in his ears, and he was falling rapidly.
But just after Li Yi fell three or four floors, he suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the window sill beside him.
The physical strength of a cultivator was displayed at this moment.
The impact of the fall was resisted by his arm, allowing Li Yi to hang safely on the edge of the window sill.
However, he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. The sound of glass breaking came from above his head, and at the same time, several grey-black arms stretched out from the window he had just flipped over.
The monsters chased up again, and these monsters could climb walls.
"Come again."
Li Yi gritted his teeth and let go again.
His figure fell again.
After another three or four floors, he grabbed the window sill again, stabilized his figure, and then he let go again.
Falling again and again, he hovered on the edge of death every time.
You know, if he didn't grab it firmly once, he would be finished.
But the effect of this desperate effort was also very significant. The distance between the monsters and him opened up, and at the same time, Li Yi was getting closer and closer to the ground.
In just over ten seconds, Li Yi descended over ten floors in height.
But above his head, a group of monsters was chasing along the wall at an astonishing speed, and because there were no obstacles, these monsters crawled faster outside than inside.
The distance between each other was being closed.
"I don't want to die here." Li Yi's eyes glowed. Between life and death, his body seemed to accelerate its evolution and transformation, and his eyes seemed to be opening the Spirit Medium.
But even so, what's the use?
The previous Spirit Medium Realm cultivator, Brother Tao, had already been torn to pieces. Even if Li Yi opened the Spirit Medium, he still couldn't get rid of the danger.
He fell again.
This desperate survival caused his body to erupt with huge potential. He gradually mastered the feeling of weightless falling, and became handy at slowing down by grabbing the window sill every time.
No need to prepare deliberately, just let go, the body falls, and he knows what to do.
Soon.
Li Yi, who was originally on the twenty-something floor, had now successfully fallen to the height of the fifth or sixth floor.
At this height, he wouldn't fall to his death.
The last time he let go.
Accompanied by a dull landing sound, he successfully landed.
But the monsters behind were still chasing him, and they also crawled to the ground along the wall, so for Li Yi now, the danger had not been lifted.
He escaped again, returning along the route he remembered coming from.
In the danger zone, he dared not walk around, otherwise he might encounter other dangers.
"Li Yi."
Just at this moment, a shout came from the top floor of the building behind him.
It was Zhang Gao's voice.
Zhang Gao had already escaped to the platform on the top floor. He stood on the edge of the wall and saw Li Yi's figure, but he had already reached a dead end, with nowhere to go, unless he jumped down.
Because several monsters on the top floor were crawling towards him rapidly.
Li Yi, who was escaping, paused slightly. He looked back, but then he accelerated again.
"Li Yi, I can't leave, do me a favor, give my money to my family." Zhang Gao's shout echoed in the dark city and reached Li Yi's ears.
Li Yi did not answer, just clenched his fists and raised his arms.
Responding was equivalent to agreeing.
Zhang Gao saw it from afar and smiled at this moment, already prepared to die here.
However, just as he was about to face this group of terrifying spider monsters, an mind-boggling thing happened.
A thin mist suddenly permeated the surroundings of the top floor. The mist was light green, and the higher it went, the thicker it became, until it merged with the dark night and could no longer be seen clearly.
The spider-like human-like monsters seemed to smell some terrifying danger, and actually gave up the prey that was about to be obtained for a while, scrambling to drill into the building, the urgent crawling sounds never stopping.
"Could it be that a miracle happened?" Zhang Gao felt incredible.
But soon, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a very terrifying thing.
Directly above the building, a huge eyeball suddenly appeared in the depths of the thick fog. The eyeball seemed to be that of some extraordinary creature, because a huge biological shadow was vaguely outlined in the depths of the thick fog. However, at this moment, this huge pupil rotated slightly, and its gaze was cast here.
"That, what is that thing?"
Zhang Gao was locked by this gaze, and a huge terror struck, instantly submerging his whole body, and his body lost consciousness at this moment, and seemed to be melting.
No.
This is not an illusion.
Zhang Gao's body was really melting.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Gao's body melted into a pool of light green liquid, and only the clothes on his body remained in place, unaffected.
The thick fog gradually dissipated.
A terrifying figure hidden in it left and headed towards the depths of the danger zone, just in the opposite direction to Li Yi's escape. *** ### Chapter 27: Opening the Spirit Medium
