After the Skyfall

Chapter 482 The Curse of the Evil God

When people in the building came out one after another, Li Yi realized that there were quite a few people hiding here, several hundred in total, and most of them were adventurers with certain strength, but they were now in a very miserable state, with more or less injuries on their bodies.

It was obvious that there had been a brutal fight before.

Li Yi also saw Ning Wu’s cousin Yu Chuan from the crowd.

The last time they met was in Tianchang City. At that time, he and Yu Chuan had cooperated to deal with the zombie incident. Now it has been a year, and Yu Chuan's strength has not improved very fast. He is only at the soul realm, but his condition is really miserable. Half of his body is gone. If it weren't for the strong vitality of the evolver, he would be a dead man now.

But even so, Yu Chuan can't last long in this condition. If he is not treated in a short period of time, he will be seriously injured and die.

"Li Yi, long time no see."

Yu Chuan was being carried on the back of a strong man at this moment. He looked pale and weak, but when he saw Li Yi, he still stood up and greeted him.

"You are seriously injured, not only your body, but also your soul." Li Yi looked at him seriously and said, "With your current soul power, it is difficult for you to leave your body. Even if your body is healed, it will be difficult for you to recover to your peak strength unless you can heal the injury to your soul."

"It's good to be alive."

Yu Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "You, on the other hand, are still making rapid progress. The last time I saw you, you were not even at the spiritual perception level. I didn't expect that you have already reached the spiritual power level in the blink of an eye. This speed of cultivation is really terrifying."

"That's because you were trapped in the dark world and missed many opportunities on Earth. After the second Tianqing incident, everyone started to practice three methods at the same time: evolution, genes, and cultivation. I think you must have missed the injection of genetic potion and the acquisition of the cultivation method, otherwise you should also be a master of spiritual power." Li Yi said.

Yu Chuan was very surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

He and Ning Wu had been trapped in the dark world for a long time, and their strength had improved slowly. They had never imagined that such earth-shaking changes had taken place outside.

Li Yi said: "How can the Golden Academy attract cross-border people to return without spending a lot of money? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and heal your wounds."

He was very disgusted with Ning Wu, but he did not hate Yu Chuan. After all, he did contribute a lot in the mission in Tianchang City. Even though the two of them did not have much interaction, they had worked together.

"Thank you very much this time." Yu Chuan nodded to express his gratitude.

However, there are quite a lot of injured people this time, and one life-repair cabin is not enough. Everyone needs to line up in turn, with those who are more seriously injured going in front, while those who are less seriously injured will wait a little longer.

Although there are many people.

Fortunately, order is not disturbed.

"Are you the helper that Wei invited? Hello, my name is Haili, and I'm an adventurer."

Suddenly, at this moment, a strong man wearing slightly worn armor and carrying a sword almost as tall as the sword came over. Although he looked a little disheveled and his body was covered in blood, he was not injured.

"Thank you for coming to support us in this time of crisis."

Li Yi looked at the man named Haili. He could feel the powerful force dormant in this man's body. His strength definitely exceeded that of an evolver in the soul realm, and he had probably reached the spiritual power realm.

In this dark world, adventurers with such strength are already considered top masters.

"Hello, my name is Li Yi."

Li Yi also greeted them and said, "I am here on behalf of you. I hope I can be of help to you. If you really want to thank someone, thank Ah Wei."

"Awei really helped us a lot, otherwise we would not have been able to survive this dark disaster, and he saved many people. Unfortunately, we were finally trapped in this dark place and had no energy to fight our way out." Haili said with some regret at this moment.

Li Yi said: "I'm curious, where did the body that protected this building go? If the body was there, the situation wouldn't be so bad."

Hai Li's eyes darkened and he said, "The corpse was eaten. A terrible evil creature has bred in the darkness, feeding on the corpse of the holy corpse. Many holy corpses in the buildings have been destroyed. Without the protection of the holy corpse, all the monsters in the darkness have been attracted here. They destroyed buildings one after another and killed many people."

"Now that the monsters have gathered, it is no longer a simple matter to eliminate them."

Then he looked outside the passage of the building.

There were still monsters swaying in the darkness, and some strange noises kept coming. It was obvious that even now those monsters were still thinking about attacking the building and destroying everyone here.

"An evil creature that feeds on the holy corpse?" Li Yi's expression changed slightly: "If that's true, then this disaster will become more and more serious."

"Yes, we tried to find it, but unfortunately we failed. The buildings are still collapsing and more and more people are dying. If this trend continues, the world may be doomed." A look of worry appeared on Haili Gangyi's face.

Li Yi then asked, "There is no holy corpse in this building, so why don't monsters dare to enter here?"

"It's the evil god's contract."

Then, a woman in a long robe with blonde hair and blue eyes slowly walked over and said, "Ah Wei has signed a contract with the evil god. The contract is valid for seventy-two hours. During these seventy-two hours, the power of the evil god's contract will protect this building from being invaded. Those evil creatures dare not enter here, otherwise they will be destroyed by the power of the evil god. However, as a price, the evil god will deprive the contractor of his soul and occupy his body after the contract expires."

"Hello Li Yi, my name is Mei Ling."

Then the woman greeted him with the same enthusiasm.

Li Yi nodded, and then asked: "How much time is left in the contract now?"

"It should be less than three hours." Mei Ling said.

Li Yi then looked at Yang Wei who was not far away: "So, he will die in three hours?"

"No, Awei is special. He can avoid the cost of the Evil God Contract. This is the second Evil God Contract he has used. He has used it once before. After the Evil God's power descended, it did not take away his soul. Instead, he repelled it." Haili said seriously.

"I see." Although Li Yi didn't understand, he had guessed it to some extent.

It must be due to supernatural power.

"What are your plans next?" Li Yi then said, "Three hours is not a long time. We can rest and recuperate before it's over. Without the protection of the evil god contract, this building will soon be invaded by evil creatures, and it will be another crisis."

"Awei said you would have a solution so we wanted to ask you for advice." Mei Ling looked at Li Yi with her light blue eyes, with some anticipation.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Xuan Yuezi said, "The purple gold gourd has its own cave. It can easily hold hundreds of people. You can put all the injured people in it, and then fight your way out of this darkness. Release them when it is safe."

"Good idea. I used the purple gold gourd to hold the injured Shan Yi before, and I think the same can be done for humans."

Li Yi nodded, then took out the purple gold gourd and briefly explained the situation to Haili and Meiling.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at the purple gold gourd, and they immediately showed excitement.

"With such a treasure, there will be no problem for us to escape from this darkness. I will go tell the others the good news." Mei Ling and Hai Li then left happily. They urgently needed hope now. Otherwise, the pessimism and despair alone would be enough to crush them before the monsters attacked.

As the two spread the way to survive, the originally lifeless crowd suddenly became excited and active. In addition, the life repair cabin worked continuously, allowing them to recover from their injuries. Soon everyone was full of confidence in survival. During this period, Li Yi studied the purple gold gourd.

Although this Taoist weapon is no longer at its peak after its spiritual energy was exhausted, and the cave is not very big, it can accommodate three thousand people without any problem. If there are more, it will exceed the upper limit of the cave and will not be able to sustain everyone's survival.

Because cave-heaven Taoist instruments are different from storage Taoist instruments, storage Taoist instruments only need a large space, which is easy to do, but cave-heaven is equivalent to a small world, which is very troublesome to maintain. Sunlight, air, water, etc. are all indispensable, so cave-heaven is difficult to expand.

Even though the Purple Gold Gourd is no longer at its peak, it can still maintain the cave and accommodate three thousand people. This is already very good. In the world of cultivation, it is enough to accommodate the disciples of an entire sect.

After about two hours of rest, everyone recovered from their injuries.

"Xiao Li, I have formed a temporary team. You put the others into the purple gold gourd. In half an hour, we will leave this building and rush out of the darkness." At this time, Yang Wei came over, followed by many powerful people.

Yu Chuan, Ning Wu, Hai Li, Mei Ling and others were among them, in addition there were several powerful unfamiliar adventurers.

Li Yi took a look and said, "It is safest to wait for the next train to arrive. The creatures in the darkness are not as simple as imagined. Although they are not weak, it is still difficult to kill them."

"Everything depends on human efforts. How do we know the result if we don't try? Besides, there is no time to wait for the next train. The limit of this building is almost reached. If we don't leave, we will be trapped here to death." Yang Wei said.

"If you really want to rush out, I suggest you all hide in the purple gold gourd. It's better for the fairy lady and I to fight our way out from here." Li Yi said, "The more people there are, the greater the casualties will be."

"Do you think I'm not as strong as you and can't break out?" Yang Wei said.

Li Yi said: "I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you to choose. It's all the same to me. Since I'm here, I'm destined to wade into this muddy water."

It's not that he thinks Yang Wei is not strong enough, but there is no need to fight the monster in the darkness outside head-on. He just needs to act fast enough to shake off the monster and escape.

But it’s a different story when there are too many people, as they will definitely be targeted by monsters.

No one can predict what will happen then.

Yang Wei was lost in thought at this moment. He understood what Li Yi meant. Instead of taking risks with all of them, it would be better to let a few strong people escape with the purple gold gourd.

However, Li Yi's method also has risks.

If anything happens to him, everyone will be buried with him.

"I'll ask for other people's opinions." Yang Wei did not act arbitrarily, but consulted other people's ideas.

However, several people expressed their unwillingness to enter the purple gold gourd. Their idea was simple: they could not let Li Yi take the risk alone, and they also wanted to contribute.

"It seems that your suggestion has been rejected." Yang Wei said with a smile.

Li Yi said: "I hope your judgment is correct. Now that you have made a decision, don't waste time. Everyone else, get into the purple gold gourd."

Then he threw out the purple gold gourd. Under the control of his mind, the small gourd suddenly grew larger. Then the mouth of the gourd opened, and a strong wind suddenly blew around, accompanied by a powerful suction force. The people in the building were sucked into the gourd before they could react.

The seemingly small gourd was like a bottomless pit. Hundreds of people were sucked in but the gourd was still not filled up.

"It's amazing." Others were surprised to see this.

Because there is no such treasure in this world, this is the first time I have seen it.

But at this time.

The evil creatures outside seemed to sense that the breath of the living people here was disappearing in large numbers, and thought that they had found a passage to escape. They became more agitated for a moment, with all kinds of strange cries and roars. At the same time, violent collisions were heard from various places in the building.

The originally solid building now began to be at risk of collapse, and a large amount of rubble fell down.

Inside the peeling wall, Li Yi saw that the scarlet flesh inside had dried up and lost its vitality.

Obviously, without the protection of the holy corpse, the building would become a decoration and would not be able to last long in the dark world.

"There are still ten minutes." Yang Wei looked at the time calmly.

His evil god contract can last for another ten minutes, and the building should be safe during this period.

But right now.

Sudden.

A terrifying force appeared in the darkness. The appearance of this force instantly tore a hideous hole in the building, as if it was going to cut the building in half. Moreover, its power was still strong and it went straight to the purple gold gourd in the air.

Xuan Yuezi suddenly took action at this moment. Her dragon and tiger power burst out, and she just flew up to intercept the attack and protect the purple gold gourd.

"Who is doing it?" Then she suddenly shouted with a murderous look on her face.

However, the rest of the people saw that a huge red vertical eye was revealed in the crack of the building. It was evil and weird. At this moment, the eye was slightly turning, spying on everyone in the building, and everyone who was spied on by this eye felt a burning pain on the back of their hand.

Li Yi was no exception. He looked down and saw a pattern similar to a five-pointed star on the back of his hand.

Like being cursed.

But soon.

The divine blood in the body seemed to be stimulated, and a silver aura emerged, accompanied by lightning. This force gathered on the back of the hand, as if to erase the five-pointed star-like pattern.

However, such behavior also attracted the attention of the huge red vertical eye in the gap of the wall.

His eyes turned slightly and stared at Li Yi.

Xuan Yuezi sensed danger, she raised her hand and a stream of magic power condensed into a sword with the power of dragon and tiger attached to it. Then she stretched out her hand and pointed, and the flying sword carrying the sound of dragon roar and tiger roar went straight towards the red vertical eye.

The flying sword flashed by, so fast that it was impossible to react.

After the blow, the scarlet vertical pupil seemed to feel severe pain and quickly faded away, disappearing into the darkness.

"What is that?" Li Yi looked at the brand on the back of his hand and felt something was not right.

The divine bloodline was ultimately unable to wash away the mark, and it remained on the back of the hand.
