After the Skyfall

Chapter 492 Light and Darkness

Li Yi searched for a long time but couldn't find the building he came from, but he was not in a hurry. He took a spirit blood pill and continued searching while resting.

At this time, the group of adventurers who had rushed out of the building before came back.

They brought with them a huge pile of loot, including leather bags filled with gold coins, short daggers gleaming with silver, armor engraved with magic runes, sickles of dead souls, swords made of fine steel, various gems, and even some parchment scrolls of unknown use. All the big and small items were piled up in a pile.

"Captain Rock, these are all the spoils outside. We have brought them all back." The adventurers said excitedly.

Although Li Yi looked down on these trophies, the monsters he killed were all strong. The weak monsters could not keep up with the speed at which he controlled the internal energy to fly, and were left far behind long ago.

The old man named Rock nodded and said, "Very good. You keep 30% of the spoils, and the rest belongs to this powerful adventurer. Be careful and don't break the rules."

"Okay, Chief Rock." These adventurers excitedly began to divide the spoils.

"This is a Mithril Dagger, a magical weapon that is said to be able to kill undead monsters."

"What a huge sapphire. The price of this thing in the store is amazing. One sapphire is worth at least one thousand gold coins."

"This is a sword of fine steel, only elite monsters carry it."

The adventurers' excited voices could be heard one after another at this moment. Even if they got 30% of this huge pile of stuff, it would be enough for them to make a fortune. So for this powerful adventurer who passed by, they all wanted to pounce on him and kiss his handsome face a few times.

And right now.

Li Yi finally found the location of the first building he entered when he came to this world on the magic map.

The location is far away.

But the direction can be determined.

Go out of this building and go straight ahead to the left. It is estimated that you will have to go at least a thousand kilometers.

"Very good, as long as the location is determined." Li Yi felt slightly relieved.

Even traveling thousands of kilometers is not a problem for him. If he uses the cloud-flying technique, he can get back in a moment.

However, he did not dare to bet that his use of the Cloud-Flying Technique would not be discovered by the evil creatures in the darkness.

Once you are targeted, it will be very troublesome to drop the bloody fishhook.

"To be on the safe side, let's slowly approach our destination. I don't lack that little time." Li Yi quickly came up with an idea in his mind, and then he put away the magic map.

At this time, the adventurers in the building had already divided the spoils. A large pile of treasures was brought to him, and other small piles were placed on the other side.

Li Yi took a look and nodded in agreement with this distribution method.

With Li Yi's permission, the small pile of loot was quickly taken away by the adventurers in the building.

"The people in this world are really law-abiding." Li Yi thought to himself, and then he looked at Sun Fei: "Do you need anything? You can take some for self-defense. If you want to leave here, you must first save your life. You have seen it all along the way. The monsters are chasing us relentlessly. I don't know how many dangers and crises we will encounter ahead."

"Thank you sir, I understand. I won't cause any trouble for you sir."

Sun Fei said gratefully. He did not delay and took away a close-fitting chain mail and a magic pistol. As for the others, he did not touch them at all. His purpose in choosing the magic pistol was very simple. If he really encountered danger and could not get out, he would use this weapon to commit suicide.

Li Yi didn't say much, just put the remaining things into the Five Elements Bracelet, and then continued to rest.

I was in this building for about two hours.

All the fatigue in Li Yi's body was swept away. With the nourishment of the Lingxue Pill, his energy and blood recovered to their peak and he was able to fight again.

"Very good, the rest is over, Sun Fei, it's time for us to set off." He did not delay too much and took action immediately.

The old man named Rock in the building tried to persuade them to stay: "If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay here for a while. You are cursed by the evil god and need the protection of the holy corpse. Otherwise, if you stay in the darkness for too long, you are likely to be noticed by evil creatures. Although you are powerful, this darkness is deeper."

"I understand, but staying here will only bring you trouble. There are many powerful monsters in the darkness looking for me. I can't stay in one place for too long. Old man, I appreciate your kindness." Li Yi refused to live in this building.

Now that he has finished his work, he is thinking about returning to Earth.

"Goodbye everyone."

Li Yi greeted these strange adventurers, then he gathered his internal energy, picked up Sun Fei and set off again. He had a good impression of the people in this kind of building. At least they would not turn him away, but were willing to let him stay and actively collect the spoils.

"Goodbye, strange adventurer. I hope I'll have the chance to see you again in the future." Everyone in the building also waved goodbye.

For them, Li Yi's arrival was one of the few surprises in the dark world. After today, a new story will circulate in their building. If nothing unexpected happens, this story will be told to the young children in the building to let them know that this world is not all dark, and there are many wonderful stories and adventures.

After Li Yi recovered, he used his Qi to fly even faster, and it didn't matter even if he brought someone with him. "Just keep going in this direction."

After he identified the direction, his actions became more radical and bold. He hardly ever stopped to rest, but instead planned to reach his destination in one breath, and he could do that with his physical fitness.

Easily passed by the buildings.

Some of the buildings were brightly lit and full of vitality, some were dim and almost collapsed, and he even found a very bright area.

The reason why it is called the Bright District is that there are street lights on the streets there. Those street lights were built by the people in the nearby buildings themselves. Although they only burn ordinary kerosene, this proves that the darkness has retreated there, and the people in the buildings are no longer hiding, but have come out and are active outside.

Li Yi was a little surprised by this.

Sun Fei said, "That should be one of the few bright areas in the dark world. The existence of the bright area means that there are very powerful adventurers in the buildings there, and there are quite a few of them. They gather together to kill dark monsters, feed the holy corpses, and awaken the vitality of the holy corpses. The holy corpses with vitality can protect people outside. If the nearby buildings can do this, then the darkness will be dispelled, and even monsters will not dare to approach that area."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded slightly.

It seems that the so-called bright area means that the adventurers in the building have entered a virtuous circle. By hunting monsters, they are constantly eroding the darkness and lighting up the light.

"The biggest dream of many people in this life is to live in the Bright District, so that they will never have to worry about being eaten by monsters. I once thought about looking for the Bright District, but later gave up. That is not my real pursuit." Sun Fei looked at the brightly lit building not far away with a yearning expression.

"If you still have such thoughts now, you can stay here. If you go forward, you may not be able to encounter the bright area." Li Yi said.

Sun Fei was somewhat tempted, but in the end he shook his head, determined to continue the adventure with Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't say anything else and chose to move on.

soon.

The bright area quickly disappeared from sight, and the lights in the nearby buildings gradually turned dark. In the end, the surroundings became quieter and quieter. There were not even kerosene lamps lit in the corridors of some buildings, which meant that the building had fallen.

And the further you go, the more buildings there are without lights.

Occasionally, there were lights in one or two buildings, but they were only sporadic. Although they were not swallowed up by the darkness, they were almost there. It was estimated that there were only a few or a dozen people in the buildings, barely surviving and waiting for death in despair.

The people in the buildings didn't even have a way to get together and relight the lights because they couldn't get out. Once they came out they would be killed by the monsters in the darkness.

Among those left behind in the building there may be elderly people, women, and children.

"What a cruel world." Li Yi fell silent at this moment. He now understood why Yang Wei insisted on staying in this world.

Those who have experienced despair know very well the importance of hope.

“Stop here for a while.”

He couldn't save them, but he had to at least leave a little hope, after all, he had made this trip.

Immediately, Li Yi changed direction and rushed into a building shrouded in darkness.

There were still sporadic spots of light in the building, which meant that there were still people living there.

The passage leading to the building was dark. There was not even a gatekeeper. There was only a broken kerosene lamp.

Obviously, under such circumstances, there is no need to light the oil lamp, as no one will come around anyway.

Li Yi's silver aura was particularly eye-catching in the dark environment. He flew in like a firefly, bringing a ray of light to this lifeless and desperate building.

"Sun Fei, go upstairs and gather all the remaining people in this building. Gather them so that I can reawaken the holy corpse here."

Li Yi stopped and looked at the holy corpse in the building.

The body had completely decayed, leaving only a skeleton.

Fortunately, the skeleton is intact and has not collapsed, otherwise there would be no need to save it at all.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Sun Fei nodded. He went upstairs in the dim light and prepared to search for the surviving guests.

He was cautious, holding a magic pistol in his hand, because monsters were usually hidden in such buildings.

Li Yi didn't say anything, just held the silver giant axe, waiting for the monster in the darkness to chase him.

The protection of the holy corpse in this building has almost become ineffective. If you want to reawaken the vitality of the holy corpse, you have to nourish it with a large amount of flesh and blood of monsters.
