Chapter 297
Li Yi, who was taking refuge in the basement shelter, was very calm at this moment. He didn't say a word, just continued to practice on his own.
For him, since such a disaster couldn't be avoided, then he would just listen to fate. After all, he couldn't even leave the city, and he was at his wit's end. If that strange haze eroded the whole city, then he could only wait for death like everyone else.
This sense of powerlessness and insignificance made Li Yi firm in his intention to cross dimensions.
The thunder and lightning at night raged in the city, falling thunder shattered many buildings, destroyed many things, and also ignited corners of the city, causing fires. But fortunately, that deadly haze was repelled and began to show signs of dissipating, not spreading into the city. This could be considered the good fortune in misfortune.
The battle between the mythical creatures didn't last long either. After about two hours, everything calmed down. No one knew the result of the matter, only knowing that everyone hiding in the city was lucky to have survived another crisis.
When it was dawn, all the strange phenomena disappeared, and the leaden clouds shrouded over everyone's heads also dissipated. The sky was azure, and the sun rose as usual.
Everything seemed to have returned to the past.
However, when Li Yi walked out of the building, he saw black smoke rising everywhere in the city. Many buildings collapsed, leaving behind ruins, and a burnt smell permeated the air. But strangely, don't know if it was good luck or some reason, high-rise buildings like the Peace Financial Building didn't suffer a single lightning strike.
It passed this crisis very safely.
"Li Yi, the news is confirmed. The two mythical creatures that fought in the danger zone last night, one is named Garuda, an existence that feeds on dragons in legends, and the other is named... Fei." Lin Yue got some latest news at this time and said immediately.
"Fei? What kind of thing is that?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"There is an idiom you should have heard of, called 'rumors and gossip' (liuyan feiyu). Among them, 'Fei' is a kind of mythical creature. It is said that wherever it passes, fog permeates, its shape is not seen, only its sound is heard. People who don't know think the sound of Fei will bring terrible disaster. In fact, the sound of Fei is harmless; that thick fog is the biggest disaster. Just getting close to a creature will cause it to dissolve on its own, which is very terrifying." Lin Yue said with lingering fear.
"And the thick fog should be the energy field radiated from Fei's body. It's just that this energy field is very erosive, and ordinary bodies cannot withstand the erosion of the energy field, so they turn into a pool of liquid. I now hope that Garuda hunts and kills Fei, otherwise, the next time Fei approaches the city, Tianchang City will be finished."
"Only mythical creatures of this level can deal with Fei. If it were cultivators, I estimate they would be finished before even getting close to Fei's body, and it couldn't be handled at all."
Li Yi said with a wry smile: "I hope so. It's just that pinning the disaster caused by one mythical creature on another mythical creature to help calm it down is not a good thing. We cultivators are too insignificant, and can't even master our own destiny... Forget it, don't talk about this. The more we talk, the more helpless we feel. Let's just do what we should do."
However, just as the two were talking.
Suddenly.
A stream of light slid across the distant horizon and flew toward this side rapidly.
"That is..." Lin Yue sensed something and immediately looked up.
Li Yi also noticed the abnormality in the sky and looked carefully. His expression couldn't help but shift: "It's not a mythical creature, it seems to be a plane. No, it looks like a spaceship, and it's coming toward us."
Soon.
As the speed of that stream of light slowed down, the two finally saw clearly at this time that it was actually a golden spaceship with a sci-fi style. The spaceship hovered in mid-air and landed slowly.
Accompanied by the opening of the spaceship's cabin, a young man with a cold expression walked out: "Who is Li Yi here?"
"Looking for me?" Li Yi was somewhat puzzled, but still took a step forward and said: "I am Li Yi, what's the matter?"
This cold-looking man immediately took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Li Yi, then uploaded it for verification, and then said: "Not bad, you are indeed Li Yi. Congratulations on joining the Golden Academy. Now you have ten minutes to pack and prepare. Ten minutes later, I will take you to the Golden Academy to register."
"The Golden Academy came so fast? Didn't it say ten days later?" Li Yi said.
It was so sudden that it caught him off guard.
"Last night, a battle of mythical creatures occurred outside the danger zone of Tianchang City. We received a mission to come and investigate. Now the investigation is over, and the higher-ups asked us to pick you up on the way." This cold-looking man said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pack your things and come with me. I am not your attendant and have no obligation to serve you. Picking you up to the Golden Academy is also a mission requirement."
"Of course, you can also not go, just need to re-take the assessment."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi looked at Lin Yue.
"Li Yi, rest assured and go. I'm here. If there's anything, contact me by phone." Lin Yue's eyes shifted slightly, saying very seriously.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Lin Jie with everything here. I'll go upstairs to get something and then leave." Li Yi nodded and said.
Lin Yue laughed: "After going to the Golden Academy, don't slack off. You must practice hard. The competition there is definitely not small. Don't get kicked out by then, that would be embarrassing."
Facing Li Yi's sudden departure, she was also a bit reluctant, but she didn't stop him, just wishing in her heart that Li Yi could also carve out a world of his own after going to the Golden Academy.
"Lin Jie, rest assured, my cultivation won't slack off, and I won't be kicked back either. Also, please help contact Jiang Mingtian. Tell him that I will give him the sword skills he needs after arriving at the Golden Academy. If he doesn't trust me, he can temporarily not forge that extraordinary weapon."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he didn't dare to delay time either. After all, the other party only gave him ten minutes.
He immediately returned to the building, took the elevator to the top floor, packed some important things, and walked out with his backpack on his back.
A trip up and down, ten minutes were almost up.
"Get on the spaceship." That cold-looking man glanced at him, then turned and entered the interior of the spaceship.
Li Yi took a deep breath, jumped, and stepped into the interior of this spaceship.
"Li Yi, remember to come back when you have time." At this time, Zheng Lan couldn't help but shout.
At this moment, the cabin door of the spaceship had been closed, and then it began to rise slowly.
When the spaceship rose to a certain height, a powerful air wave struck. The spaceship instantly crossed over the city, and like a meteor, it disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
Li Yi, who entered the interior of the spaceship, was very curious at this moment, looking around.
The interior space of this spaceship was actually not large, only able to carry ten people at most, and the layout was also very simple, without extra facilities, only two small rooms.
And the spaceship wasn't driven by people; it seemed to be controlled by artificial intelligence. As the spaceship constantly moved forward, the voice of the artificial intelligence also constantly rang in his ears.
"Is this the newcomer entering the Golden Academy? Not bad, very young, looks like the potential is not bad." A seat in the cabin suddenly turned around, and a tall woman looked at Li Yi with a smile, her eyes sizing Li Yi up and down.
Li Yi felt uncomfortable being sized up like this, and at the same time, he could roughly sense it from the aura on these two people.
This man and woman were definitely not in the Soul Realm, but had reached the level of the Spirit Power Realm, which felt very similar to the feeling Professor Zhang Songlin gave him.
Although they didn't have any momentum radiating out, just getting close made one feel the gap in life levels.
"Spaceship decelerate, start searching and exploring in this area... Target, Garuda, Fei." Suddenly, the man spoke.
"Decelerating, deceleration successful... Start search mode, target information has been loaded, searching for mythical creatures Garuda, Fei." Soon, the intelligent voice came from the driver's seat of the spaceship.
"Don't mind delaying a bit of time, right?" The man looked at Li Yi.
What could Li Yi say? He immediately said: "I don't mind."
"Bai Sinan, wasn't it searched before? Why search again?" The woman asked.
This cold man named Bai Sinan said: "This direction hasn't been searched carefully. I don't believe that the battle between two mythical creatures wouldn't have a winner. Before, we searched around Tianchang City, and except for some battle traces, nothing was left. But intuition tells me that one of the mythical creatures was defeated, and defeated very miserably. It's just unknown if it fled or was killed."
"If we can find some traces, this trip can be considered a harvest."
The woman smiled and said: "Suit yourself, but you'd better be careful. There are more than just those two mythical creatures outside. If you stay too long and are targeted by other mythical creatures, that would be dangerous."
"I know, I won't search for too long, just turn around simply and go back." Bai Sinan said.
Li Yi listened on the side and remained silent.
Didn't expect these two people to actually have designs on those two mythical creatures.
However, thinking carefully, this was indeed a very good opportunity.
Two mythical creatures fighting to the death, the defeated side was either dead or seriously injured. No matter which result it was, it was a very good opportunity to pick up leaks.
Of course, Li Yi didn't dare to pick up this leak, but these two people who were in the Spirit Power Realm were different. With their strength, although dealing with mythical creatures might be a bit difficult, picking up leaks was definitely no problem.
As the spaceship explored a nearby area rapidly, it really found some traces.
Huge biological footprints were detected on the ground, the energy field of some powerful creature was left between the nearby mountains and forests, and in some places, there were large patches of blood. That blood was very strange; falling on the ground, it turned into large patches of scorched earth, as if it had been burned by fire.
Li Yi knew that this was because the energy in the blood of mythical creatures was too powerful, so it destroyed everything around it, just like high-intensity radiation.
"That mythical creature didn't die after being defeated, but fled all the way here." Bai Sinan was both surprised and happy at this moment.
The woman beside him reminded: "Don't be too careless. Mythical creatures that haven't died are more dangerous. If we encounter them suddenly, we might have our ship destroyed and people killed. I don't suggest continuing to take risks. Return to the Golden Academy first. If you still have thoughts, you can invite others to come and investigate."
"No, from here to Tianchang City, it's at least three hundred kilometers. Fleeing such a long distance in one breath, the state of this mythical creature must be very bad. The threat of death made it run all the way. If I can find it, relying on the firepower of the spaceship, it's not impossible to send it on its last journey." Bai Sinan's eyes flickered.
Obviously, he had designs on that mythical creature and wasn't willing to give up just like that.
Li Yi listened on the side but was helpless.
He seemed to have boarded a pirate ship.
If something really happened, wouldn't he, an evolver of the Spirit Perception Realm, have to be buried with them?
However, now his words were light, and saying anything was useless. He could only watch this happen.
