Chapter 751
A new cross-dimensional gate appeared before Li Yi's eyes. Through a corner of the cross-dimensional gate, Li Yi could roughly glimpse a corner of the appearance of this No. 17 world.
That should be a modernized world, with high-rise buildings standing in the distance.
But this world seemed to have suffered some kind of great disaster, appearing somewhat lifeless. However, the environment was still quite good, and there was cosmic energy in the air, although the concentration was not high, but maintaining cultivation was no problem.
"Let's go."
Li Yi did not have the slightest hesitation and immediately charged toward the cross-dimensional gate.
But just at this moment.
High in the sky, Tianyue Yao Wang, who was fighting with the Earth experts, noticed Li Yi's move to cross dimensions and flee. Immediately, several rays of moonlight broke through layers of obstacles and shone in his direction.
Although Li Yi's speed of action was fast enough, the speed of the moonlight falling was faster, covering him in almost an instant, and the coverage area was extremely large, almost making it impossible for you to hide.
Li Yi had been prepared. The two layers of red gold precious armor on his body flashed with divine light, forming an indestructible defense. Even if the Demon King's power poured down, wanting to kill him was an extremely difficult thing to do.
He successfully charged into the cross-dimensional gate under the cover of the moonlight.
But the cross-dimensional machine on the side was not so lucky, instantly crushed into powder, leaving only three complete mystic objects—the Dragon Scale, the Luan Phoenix Feather, and the World Heart Gem—undamaged.
Li Yi's expression sank, and he immediately took the three complete mystic objects into the Five Elements Bracelet before the cross-dimensional gate closed.
However, without the cross-dimensional machine, did this mean he was going to be trapped in the No. 17 world?
"Li Yi, don't worry. When the time is ripe, we will open the cross-dimensional gate and pick you back."
However, Li Weiguo, who was fighting with Tianyue Yao Wang, seemed to see Li Yi's hesitation and immediately sent a voice transmission.
Hearing this.
Li Yi then dispelled his doubts and temporarily felt at ease hiding in this No. 17 world for a while, lest that Demon King go crazy and, in order to kill himself, implicate everyone on the battlefield.
And just as the cross-dimensional gate was about to close.
In the distance, the four Mahayana Immortal Cultivators—Xuanzhen Shangren, Luobing, Feixue, and others—were a bit dumbfounded. Li Yi had run away across dimensions, so what should they do?
They couldn't stay on Earth, and returning to the Profound Immortal Continent was a dead end.
If they had known they were going to run away, they should have brought themselves along.
However, they couldn't teleport and couldn't take advantage of the last moment when the cross-dimensional gate closed to pass through the danger covered by the moonlight and charge into the No. 17 world. They could only watch Li Yi gradually disappear before their eyes.
Li Yi also noticed these Mahayana Immortal Cultivators who had surrendered to him at this moment. Although they were all enemies, they were also a rare top-tier combat force that might be useful in the future.
Staying on the Earth defense line was definitely a dead end, because without his shackles, those evolved ones would definitely not be at ease having a few enemies by their side, and sooner or later a conflict would break out.
"Go to the Red Gold Mountain in the Wilderness World of Tianning City. There is a way for you to live there."
Li Yi finally pointed his finger, and a strand of magic power flew out, crossing the cross-dimensional gate and flying toward these few practitioners.
Although the magic power was annihilated under the moonlight, the voice was transmitted out.
Although the address Li Yi said was only a vague one.
But it was not difficult for these Mahayana Immortal Cultivators to find the cross-dimensional point with a sweep of their spiritual sense. As long as they went to the Wilderness World and said his name, Li Yi, they would naturally be accepted by those Daoist practitioners.
And with so many Three-Flower Realm Daoist experts on Red Gold Mountain, these few Mahayana Immortal Cultivators couldn't stir up any waves, which could better restrict them.
After doing this, the cross-dimensional gate closed completely.
Li Yi was currently in a strange world. He stopped worrying about things on the battlefield and looked around. He found that he was in the suburbs of a city, with several highways nearby.
Only there were many abandoned cars parked on the road, and the climate was somewhat harsh.
The sun was strong overhead, and the surrounding land was baked into sand. When the wind blew, the sky was filled with yellow dust.
"This looks like a wasteland world." Li Yi didn't see any traces of human activity.
It seemed that at some point in the past, a great disaster had occurred here, but he didn't see any human remains, which made him somewhat puzzled.
But it didn't matter.
At least this world was safe. Wasteland is wasteland; anyway, the supplies in the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet were enough for Li Yi to live for a considerable period of time, and there would be no problem waiting for the next cross-dimensional gate to open.
Thinking of this, Li Yi set off immediately and flew toward the city.
He planned to find a foothold to rest.
Soon.
Li Yi landed in the center of this abandoned city.
It was also desolate here. Although the buildings still maintained their original appearance, it was like the dangerous area after the sky tilted in the past. The city was suddenly abandoned at some point, and because of the harsh environment, it was relatively severely eroded by nature.
"It's indeed very safe, there aren't even any people, of course it's safe." Li Yi muttered to himself.
However, it was fortunate that he didn't go to the world where incense becomes god, otherwise the cross-dimensional machine would be destroyed, and he would be trapped in the incense world forever. After all, others didn't know the coordinates of the incense world.
"Next time I return to Earth, I must get a few more cross-dimensional machines, just in case."
He had suffered a loss this time, and would remember it in the future.
Li Yi hadn't walked two steps.
The Red Gold Purple Feather Armor on his body reached its limit after bearing the Demon King's power one after another. The great formation on it was worn away, the brilliance of the Dao artifact was gone, and it suddenly cracked, turning into fragments all over the ground.
Among the fragments, the red gold was still shining brightly. If it were re-smelted, a new armor could be forged.
"Can't even the Red Gold Dao artifact resist the erosion of the Demon King's power for a long time?" Li Yi shook his head slightly and collected the red gold fragments on the ground.
Although it was a pity to damage a Red Gold Dao artifact, it didn't have much impact on him. After all, he still had several pieces of red gold precious armor in his hands; if one was broken, he would just change it.
Finding an abandoned and empty building, Li Yi sat down and took out the Tianyi Hall, swallowing a mouthful of life essence from it.
The body, which was slightly tired after the great battle, was currently recovering at a very fast speed.
Then he cast the Heaven and Earth Qi Gathering Great Method, gathering all the surrounding cosmic energy.
Although the concentration of cosmic energy in this world was not very high, this world, which was similar to a wasteland, did not have any practitioners. If the cosmic energy in this area was only for him alone, it was more than enough.
As energy gathered.
The brilliance of energy flowed around Li Yi. He breathed in and out this energy, and the magic power consumed by his body was also recovering rapidly.
Time passed bit by bit.
By about two o'clock in the afternoon, a gunshot suddenly came from the silent city.
This sound was particularly conspicuous, immediately startling Li Yi, who was recuperating.
"Gunshot?" Li Yi slowly opened his eyes.
As a former foreign combat personnel of the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau, training in firearms was indispensable. Although he hadn't heard gunshots for a long time, he still recognized it immediately.
"A wasteland world, an abandoned city, how could there be gunshots? Could it be the survivors of this world?"
He looked in the direction the gunshot came from.
That was the other end of the city.
It seemed that this wasteland world still had traces of human activity.
Li Yi thought for a while and decided to go and see. At least he had to understand the true situation of this No. 17 world. Anyway, he had almost recuperated now.
Immediately, he stood up, and an auspicious cloud condensed beneath his feet, carrying him toward the direction where the gunshot sounded.
At the same time.
At the location where the gunshot sounded, a modified truck was currently parked on the road of the abandoned city. On both sides of the road, there were many past buildings. Although these buildings were abandoned, the survivors were very willing to come to such places to search for supplies.
Only, danger lurked in the city, which had long been occupied by monsters. If possible, no survival squad would risk entering the city.
"Damn it, why shoot? Didn't I say that you can't shoot in the city?" A middle-aged man wearing worn-out body armor, with a strong build, rough skin, and short hair, shouted in a suppressed voice.
His name was Du Peng, and he was the captain of this survival squad. This time, risking entering the city was to search for medicine, because his teammate was sick. In this terrible world, medicine was more precious and scarce than food. "It's Zhao Xiaofeng's gunshot. Captain, you shouldn't have let them bring guns in."
On a truck next to him sat a short-haired woman. Her name was Huang Qiu, and she also said in a suppressed voice at this moment: "Although it's daytime, once the gunshot sounds, those monsters hidden in the city will definitely be awakened. Call them back quickly. If it's late, we probably won't be able to get out."
Captain Du Peng's expression was gloomy. He naturally understood this truth, but if he left now, it would be impossible to search for medicine. Not only would the sick teammate die, but this squad wouldn't be able to survive either.
He gripped the tattered walkie-talkie in his hand tightly, then gritted his teeth and said: "Give you ten minutes at most. Once ten minutes are up, withdraw immediately regardless of whether you have obtained the medicine or not."
"Captain..." Huang Qiu, who was the driver, was very surprised.
Du Peng said seriously: "We can only gamble. Our supplies are no longer enough to support the next operation. We can't even afford oil. Only by getting medicine can we relieve the pressure. Huang Qiu, if you are unwilling, you can leave on the motorcycle on the truck. I won't blame you."
Huang Qiu heard this, felt the hunger in her belly, and the embarrassment of this period of time, and she smiled bitterly: "Since the captain has decided to gamble, then I can only accompany you."
How could she not know the fact that supplies were exhausted? Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here.
Du Peng stopped talking and stared at the time on his watch.
Although this watch was damaged, it was still quite accurate.
However, during the time they were waiting.
Inside the nearby building, in the places where the sun couldn't shine, strange figures gradually approached from here. They were not any wild beasts, because the natural world couldn't breed such things.
Nor were they humans.
They were a kind of monster that didn't exist in the natural world.
These monsters were numerous, and in less than ten minutes, they had already filled the nearby buildings.
"If we are surrounded by this number, we are dead."
Du Peng looked around, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead. He didn't hesitate anymore, and just as he was about to urge his teammates with the walkie-talkie.
But just at this time.
Suddenly.
Three figures, each holding a box, rushed out from the abandoned hospital in a hurry, as if fleeing.
"Captain." One of them shouted.
Captain Du Peng, seeing their harvest, was both surprised and delighted.
The previous guess was indeed correct; the supplies in this city were very rich and hadn't been searched much.
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
In the corridor behind, on the walls, monsters were crawling toward here like spiders, densely packed. And one teammate who ran slowly was directly pounced on the ground by a monster.
Screams echoed, and blood sprayed.
The body was immediately dismembered by a group of monsters.
"Get in the car quickly."
Du Peng shouted, then took out a shotgun from his back, not sparing bullets at all, firing to cover the escape of the remaining two teammates.
But even with firearms, the damage caused to the monsters was limited. Bullets hit the monsters, only sinking into the flesh and skin, and couldn't cause fatal damage at all.
And because of firing multiple times, it seemed to have angered other monsters in the nearby buildings.
Those monsters now ignored the sunlight outside, crawled along the broken walls, and poured out of the building, gathering toward here rapidly like dense ants.
"Captain, there's no time, let's go."
Huang Qiu, the driver, couldn't help but shout at this moment. Her voice trembled, with a look of horror, and she started the truck immediately, preparing to rush out with everyone.
"Damn it."
Captain Du Peng also reacted. He saw the scene around him, his eyes shrank suddenly, and even the gun in his hand stopped involuntarily.
Are there so many monsters in the city?
Even he, who had rich survival experience, couldn't help but tremble all over at this moment.
But fortunately, at the last moment, Du Peng successfully covered the remaining two teammates to get on the truck.
Accompanied by the moment the door of the carriage closed, the rushing monsters hit the thick steel plate on the truck heavily.
The truck swayed, and everyone in the carriage was both surprised and afraid.
"Huang Qiu, let's go, rush out." Du Peng shouted.
Huang Qiu's cold sweat broke out at this moment. She stepped on the accelerator deeply, the engine roared, and the heavy truck roared and rushed forward.
Can they escape this city?
This thought popped into everyone's mind.
But soon.
Reality told them that this was wishful thinking.
The rushing monsters had blocked all the roads. Although the truck rushed and bumped along the way, the nearby monsters rushed toward the truck one after another. Following a series of violent shaking.
This modified old truck finally made a powerless wail, fell heavily on the ground, and then, like a fallen prey, was constantly eaten by countless monsters.
The hard steel plate was dismantled, and the thickened carriage was forcibly torn open by the monsters' fingernails. Huang Qiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, screamed in horror, because the monster had already broken through the protection of the windshield and poked half of a strange head in.
That head looked like a human, but had no hair, only a layer of gray-black skin, and the eyes revealed a fierce and bloodthirsty light.
"It's over."
Everyone in the truck had only this thought in their minds at this moment. They knew they were dead today and were ready to welcome death.
But just at this time.
All the monsters stopped their movements at the same moment, all frozen in place, motionless.
Hmm?
Facing the abnormal actions of these monsters, everyone was stunned for a moment.
However, immediately after.
A terrifying force suddenly covered the surroundings, and then they saw the bodies of those monsters frozen in place suddenly burst, blood spraying and splashing around.
Immediately after, the surroundings became unusually quiet.
Like the tranquility after a storm.
The few people in the carriage didn't know why, until Huang Qiu, the driver, looked out through the broken windshield. The scene before her overturned her cognition, and she saw the most incredible scene of her life.
The open space in front of her was covered with the corpses of monsters, and strange blood flowed everywhere. Looking at it, it was densely packed. She didn't know how many monsters had died miserably here in an instant just now.
"This, what's going on?" Huang Qiu gathered her courage and climbed out through the broken window. She trembled slightly and looked around.
This was not a dream.
The monsters were really all dead.
But how was this done? It didn't look like it was killed by any weapon, because she was still alive and well.
"So the spider monsters in the dangerous area back then came from the No. 17 world." Suddenly, a voice sounded abruptly.
Huang Qiu heard this voice and looked left and right suddenly, but couldn't find anyone, until she looked up, and the whole person was instantly stunned. She actually saw a man wearing ancient battle armor, draped in thunder and lightning, and looking extraordinary, currently stepping on an auspicious cloud and looking down here.
Clearly.
The death of those monsters just now was caused by this person in front of her.
But is the person in front of her really a person?
How could a normal person fly in the sky? And this dress and appearance didn't look like a person from this world at all, but rather like a god descending to the world.
