After the Skyfall

Chapter 496: Golden Apple
After using darkness to bury those people, Li Yi took Sun Fei into the passage leading to Tianzhong City.

This passage is very long and there are many forks in the road, but as long as you don’t take the forks and keep walking forward, you can walk out of this dark world and go outside.

Of course, the outside world is now shrouded in darkness, and evil creatures have also invaded the earth. Moreover, Tianzhong City outside is even more dangerous because there is no protection of the holy corpse. Ordinary people have no way to survive there. Otherwise, Ning Wu and Yu Chuan, the two evolvers, would not have fled in the opposite direction and entered the dark world.

However, Li Yi did not plan to leave now. He wanted to find the golden apple, exorcise the curse on his body, and wait for Xuan Yuezi's return.

"Sir, this passage is very special. There are no monsters." Sun Fei looked around and said with a little surprise.

Li Yi strode forward at this moment, and as he walked he said: "This is natural, because the monsters have all run to the other end of the passage, so it is of course safer here."

"The other end of the passage?" Sun Fei asked, "Is that a secret place?"

"No, it's also a city shrouded in darkness, full of dangers, no one can survive, and it's full of death and evil." Li Yi said, "But if you have the courage to get through that dark city, you may be able to see new light."

"An unknown dark city?" Sun Fei listened thoughtfully.

That should be a place that no one has ever explored.

"We have arrived at the first fork in the road."

Li Yi suddenly stopped and stopped at the first fork in the road, then looked towards the end of the fork.

At the end of this fork in the road is a room, which seems not far away, but the door of the room is open. There is a stone platform inside with an iron hammer on it. There is lightning and thunder around the iron hammer, which is extraordinary and magical. It is an extraordinary weapon. If you can get it, it will be easy to use it to deal with the monsters in the dark.

"A legendary weapon."

Sun Fei showed a bit of excitement at this moment, but soon calmed down: "This kind of legendary weapon must be guarded by a very powerful monster. If you rashly enter that room, you may not be able to get out."

"There's no trace of monsters in such a small room." Li Yi asked calmly; "Is there anything special about it?"

"Sir, I've said before that I've been to similar places for adventures. Although this room looks small, it's actually a secret place. The door has magic that will only show you the most tempting things. The real danger is invisible. Only when you actually walk through the door can you truly understand the danger and terror inside."

Sun Fei said very seriously: "Moreover, the door will close and keep you in the secret realm forever. In my previous team, several powerful adventurers entered the door and never came out again. Some people say that you need to defeat all the monsters in the secret realm and get the treasure before the door will open. Some people say that the treasure is just a bait. It is a trap set by the evil god. Those who enter will become the evil god's food."

"But I have also heard rumors that someone has successfully brought back treasures from the secret realm. I've never met such a person. They are all legendary adventurers, just like stories that are passed down in the dark world."

"I see." Li Yi nodded slightly: "You know quite a lot."

"You're welcome, sir. This is thanks to the fact that there is an elder in the building where I grew up. He was a powerful adventurer when he was young and had rich adventuring experience. He told us many stories about adventurers, which gave me a lot of benefits. In addition, I have traveled to many places, so I know more." Sun Fei said.

"My target is not it, but the golden apple. Keep moving forward." Li Yi didn't want to take risks for a weapon.

He has Taoist weapons in his hands and has no shortage of weapons.

However, in this world, Taoist weapons cannot be used at will, otherwise they will attract scarlet fish hooks in the darkness and bring huge trouble.

After walking forward for a while, we came to another fork in the road.

There is also a room at the end of the fork in the road. In the middle of the room is a set of golden armor floating. The armor emits a mysterious halo and displays powerful magic, which fascinates the adventurers.

Obviously, as Fei said, this is also a legendary armor.

"Are weapons that glow legendary?" Li Yi suddenly asked, "I remember the silver armor on Kevin, who I killed before, also glowed, but its defense was average and I punched it through."

"Sir, that's not true. The silver armor on Kevin is a relatively valuable mithril armor. It is the nemesis of evil things in the darkness, but its defense is not particularly strong, and it cannot be considered a legendary equipment. It is at most an elite-level equipment." Sun Fei said.

Li Yi said: "What about the blood-colored armor of the Undead Sword King? It is a legendary monster, and its weapons and armor should be legendary."

"Not really. The golden heart of the Undead Sword King is a legendary treasure. The weapons and armor on it, if appraised by my eyes, should also be elite level. It's just that the blood-colored armor of the Undead Sword King has stronger defense and is better, and this requires a specialized appraiser to appraise it." Sun Fei said after thinking for a while.

"Where is the Death Soul Scythe?" Li Yi asked again.

"That's an excellent weapon." Sun Fei said immediately.

Li Yi said: "It sounds like playing a game. You even rated various weapons."

"This is designed to better deal with monsters." Sun Fei said, "If you can't accurately judge the level of the monster's weapon, then adventurers and monsters will easily suffer a great loss when fighting, because powerful weapons can easily destroy your armor and put you in great danger."

"That makes sense, but where does the adventurer's strength come from? The magic books in the store?" Li Yi asked as he walked, wanting to better understand the composition of this world. "The magic books in the store are the basis, and more often the monsters hunted outside have a very small chance of carrying something that can make people stronger, such as magic potions, inheritance crystals, and golden hearts." Sun Fei said, "But most adventurers rely on training."

"After fighting monsters again and again, your body will unconsciously become stronger. An elder said that this is because your body's potential has been stimulated."

Li Yi nodded, and had a general understanding of the cultivation in this world.

It seems that the power system of this world has been fragmented and cannot form a complete system.

"Oh, there is another way to gain strength, and that is to get the blessing of the holy corpse." Suddenly, Sun Fei added: "If some people are lucky, they will get some guidance and teachings in their dreams, which can help them master the method of becoming stronger."

"Those tall corpses are very mysterious, and their strength when they were alive was terrifying. Even I was no match for them, but they died for unknown reasons. The blessing you received should be some information fragments." Li Yi pondered.

While they were talking, they had passed one fork in the road after another.

The treasures in those rooms are also very exciting.

But Li Yi did not stop, because he was not an adventurer in this world, and he did not have much feeling for these treasures. On the contrary, Sun Fei often couldn't walk after seeing them.

"Found it, right here."

soon.

Li Yi found the golden apple that he had seen once before.

On the emerald tree hung apples that emitted a faint golden glow. Even here one could smell an alluring and exotic fragrance.

"It's really the legendary golden apple." Sun Fei also became excited.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a legendary treasure.

Although I had heard from other people before that there was a golden apple in this world, no one had ever seen it or found it. I didn't expect that this thing was hidden in the passage of such an inconspicuous building, and I didn't even encounter any danger along the way.

If such news were to spread, who knows how many adventurers would flock to the place.

"That Liu Ming said that the golden rat skin can avoid danger and sneak into a room to take away a treasure. I don't know if it is useful. You wait here, I will try to pick the golden apple." Li Yi took out a piece of golden rat skin from the Five Elements Bracelet. He put it on his body, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a giant human-shaped rat.

All the breath in his body was obscured.

Li Yi strode towards the room at the fork in the road.

"Sir, be careful." Sun Fei reminded.

Li Yi didn't say anything. He slowly approached the door.

There was no danger on the road, but when he walked in, he found that the tree with golden apples in the middle of the room was quickly moving away from him. No, that's not right. It wasn't the golden apple tree that was moving away from him, but the original setting of this room was that it could display some precious treasures in front of you and let you grab them at your fingertips.

But when you really walk into it, you realize that the things that are within your reach are actually so far away from you.

As the scene before my eyes became blurry.

Li Yi then saw that he was at the foot of a barren mountain. The road was paved with gravel, and nearby were rolling valleys. On the top of a distant mountain, the fruit tree with golden apples stood there.

I looked back and saw that the door behind me was still there.

But when he took a few steps forward, the door behind him gradually became blurred and seemed to be disappearing.

Li Yi was silent for a moment.

If he continued to move forward, he would definitely not be able to find the door to come back.

By then, you may be trapped in this so-called secret realm.

Just as Sun Fei said, the golden apple might be a trap, a bait placed here by the evil god to lure people in to die.
