Chapter 166 Not Heeding the Elder's Advice
In the guest room of the inn, Li Muyang kept entering the game, only to be repeatedly ejected from it.
The number of failures was so high that he was almost numb to it.
Now the speed at which he exited and re-entered the game was astonishingly fast.
But Red Ridge Mountain was still a great distance away.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Countless Evil Gods wandered in the dark land.
Each time Li Muyang traveled a certain distance, a bizarre Evil God would emerge.
These Evil Gods didn't intentionally block Li Muyang's path; they were simply wandering in the darkness and happened to be encountered by him.
Li Muyang gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of this dark land.
The appearance of these Evil Gods was just too frequent.
No wonder the system recommended the Nameless character card. Who else would possess the ability to instantly kill Evil Gods?
Li Muyang advanced continuously in the darkness, his Sword Qi constantly tearing apart the darkness and slaying Evil Gods.
However, the problem was that each Evil God could easily kill Li Muyang in an instant.
But Li Muyang's instant death ability with his flying sword had a 50% chance of failure.
And that was a 50% chance each time he launched the flying sword; there was no guarantee of it triggering.
If he encountered a streak of bad luck, it could very well fail to trigger several times in a row.
If the instant death rate failed to trigger, both Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden would be killed instantly by an Evil God.
And even if he did trigger an instant death, sometimes the Evil God's abilities were so terrifying that it could take Li Muyang down with it before dying.
There were even Evil Gods that his instant death flying sword couldn't deal with, such as those with multiple lives or the ability to resurrect after death; Li Muyang could only avoid them.
Through continuous dying, saving, and retrying, Li Muyang struggled throughout the entire day.
By relying on saving, he forced his way through the darkness and ultimately used "instant kill" to defeat twenty-seven Evil Gods.
It was truly a remarkable feat.
Yet the journey to Red Ridge Mountain was still long.
When Li Muyang had slain more than thirty Evil Gods, a chilling wind suddenly swept across the dark land.
Soon after, the dark sky violently tore open, and blood-red light scattered across the land.
Everyone standing on this land looked up to see the darkness above them splitting open, a massive blood-red eye writhing as it stared at Li Muyang.
Li Muyang murmured softly, sharing his discovery with the Glass Immortal Maiden.
The old village chief's words about staying overnight and not traveling at night were like a guiding light!
As long as they didn't leave the villages or towns at night, there was no danger at all.
The Glass Immortal Maiden also realized that the town was a safe zone, with the Evil Gods roaming the wilderness not approaching these townspeople.
A look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
"But why don't the Evil Gods approach these villages and towns? Could these villagers have some marvelous quality?"
This was a question neither of them understood.
Why were there so many Evil Gods wandering in the wilderness, yet they specifically avoided places where living people gathered?
Were the living beings in this cursed well truly living beings?
Li Muyang tested it by casting Annihilation Wheel on a sleeping couple.
In the darkness, a flash of blue light disappeared, but this time, the Annihilation Wheel failed to instantly kill the couple.
Because the moment it got close, the couple on the bed that had been sleeping soundly suddenly jumped up, their bodies undergoing a bizarre transformation, turning into two grotesque and ferocious monsters.
They roared and screeched, launching an attack on Li Muyang. The health bars above their heads switched from the neutral creatures' pale yellow to a threatening blood red.
With a swing of her sword, the Glass Immortal Maiden unleashed a Sword Qi several tens of feet wide, instantly reducing both monsters and the houses to ash.
In the darkness, the two exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
"The whole town is filled with monsters?" The Glass Immortal Maiden was somewhat shocked, yet also felt it was expected.
After all, what else could exist in a world with Evil Gods if not monsters?
Li Muyang was stunned by something else – during the day, he had tested the villagers with the Annihilation Wheel, and it had killed them effortlessly without any of them transforming.
But at night, attacking these same villagers caused them to become monsters?
Or was the previous village normal and this entire town was filled with monsters?
Li Muyang was still pondering when the quiet town suddenly became restless.
The commotion from fighting the monsters seemed to have awakened the entire town's residents.
One after another, horrific figures leaped out of the darkness; all of these peaceful and sleeping townspeople roared as they pounced toward Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden.
Beneath the ghostly blue light of the Annihilation Wheel, a tide of blood-red health bars surged over them, quickly engulfing all light in the darkness.
