Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, we've evacuated."
In fact, the scenes he saw along the way were very tragic; the entire city had almost been occupied by people from Evil Cult organizations.
She just didn't want to tell the man in front of her the truth.
The man smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good. My wife and children should have already been evacuated."
"I don't care anymore. I'll be incredibly lucky if I don't die at this critical moment."
Li Chen remained silent...
However, the man in front of them seemed to have finally had some time to rest, as he leaned against the wall with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Li Chen looked at the sea shrouded in Black Mist on the horizon and murmured, "This pass seems to be more terrifying than I imagined."
"The Ruined Pass is indeed better than this pass; at least the Eerie Monsters can't get into the city behind the wall."
At that moment, the man's voice rang out, saying, "Young man, don't look."
"There's a kind of Eerie Monsters that can bewitch you through your eyes, making you lose your mind."
"Nowadays, Eerie Monsters are constantly changing, and it's rare to see the same Eerie Monsters twice; however, their abilities are very limited."
Li Chen turned to look at the man. He was clearly turned to the side, so how did he know she was looking down?
However, considering we are at a critical juncture, and everyone has special abilities, it's not surprising.
After a long silence...
All that could be heard at the pass was the sound of explosions.
Then, suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out.
"Quickly, gatekeeper, be warned! The elementalist has retreated!"
You need to hold out for 2 hours!
"Wait for the elements to restore energy."
"The medical team is ready!!"
The man next to Li Chen slowly stood up, grinning.
"Young man, it's our turn to perform."
"Go join the Elementalist team; your abilities shouldn't be wasted here."
Li Chen shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I don't belong to any team."
"They're just here to provide support."
He roughly understood the current situation above.
Combat Department, Medical Department, Elementalists.
One is a wall of flesh and blood erected by the gatekeepers at the pass to prevent the Eerie Monsters from advancing.
Elementalists deal area-of-effect (AOE) damage, similar to mages in online games, specifically providing area-of-effect attacks to the gatekeepers above.
The medical department needs no further explanation.
Before the man could say anything, a roar rang out.
A jet-black claw gripped the wall, revealing a hideous, grotesque head to the two of them.
The man, wielding two swords, slashed down.
Pfft~
Black blood sprayed out wildly.
By this time, even more Eerie Monsters had begun to enter the gate, and the battle had started almost instantly.
Li Chen's body floated up, his eyes looking down at the densely packed, crawling Eerie Monsters on the barrier wall below. Light blades gathered around him, and he had already grasped Mo in his hand.
Empty~empty~empty~
Countless blades of light, imbued with an eerie aura, sliced the Eerie Monsters in two.
The Forbidden Substance was extracted directly from the bodies of those Eerie Monsters.
It transformed into writhing clumps of pitch-black liquid, merging into the ink.
Li Chen stood in the air, the howling wind carrying wave after wave of bloody stench whipping against his body.
"Not enough... not enough..."
He was already able to absorb large amounts of Forbidden Substances when he was at the Ruined Pass.
However, he had only recently broken through to the Withered Sea Realm.
He could feel the craving for Forbidden Substances within his body.
In the dark sky, many Withered Sea Realm Eerie Monsters seemed to regard Li Chen as one of their own and simply passed by him.
But Li Chen's light blade instantly cleaved it in two, drawing away its essence, and it died completely.
Many of those still fighting at the checkpoints noticed that figure.
"Holy crap, who is that?"
"That strong? My combat division has such a formidable individual?"
Li Chen single-handedly blocked a large-scale invasion of Eerie Monsters.
And judging from his appearance, he seems to be just a teenager. How could someone with such great strength be here?
However, this incident at the border only caused a minor ripple.
Everyone's happy when the gatekeeper is strong.
After all, they're all on the same line now.
Li Chen slightly raised his eyes, the black wing on his right hand still opening continuously, and dark, crack-like stripes spreading across his arm.
Fine cracks have already appeared on her neck.
"As expected, obtaining Forbidden Substances at the pass is still the fastest."
This is not to say it's fake. After all, every slash resulted in the death of an Eerie Monsters. Even at the Dripping Water Realm, there are Forbidden Substances. Not to mention the overwhelming number of Eerie Monsters. Every slash was like harvesting wheat.
Li Chen looked down at the incredibly violent tremors, where countless Eerie Monsters corpses were flying everywhere.
Those were Calamity Realm experts splitting the flow below.
This endless series of Eerie Monsters —who knows how long this battle will last?
No wonder some people turned pale at the mention of the checkpoint.
But now, what he needs to do is quickly fill his body with the Forbidden Substances he needs.
In another Bird's Nest.
Su Zhe and the others did not go out, but instead searched for Su Xian.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find a single person; it was as if they had vanished.
Behind Mu Hen stood three Tomb People, each carrying a bag made of Dark Energy filled with the corpses of Evil Cult.
"Could it be that the Daoist Family Saint Son is making things difficult for him?"
Su Zhe glanced at the group of people not far away, where the Daoist Family Saint Son was treating the Shi Family Saint Son, and he felt the same way.
After all, this person couldn't just disappear, could they?
After all, Jianping and Su Xian had traveled together in the Secret Realm before, during which Jianping was captured and Su Xian disappeared.
The source of all this is the Daoist Family Saint Son.
Just as Su Zhe was about to step forward to argue, Jianping stopped him.
"No need to go, Su Xian is fine."
"He probably had something to do."
"After all, even if the Daoist Family Saint Son were to trap her, he couldn't possibly hold Su Xian for long."
Su Zhe looked at Jianping and nodded helplessly, then continued speaking.
"So, are we waiting for rescue now?"
"Now that Chen-ge and Su Xian are both gone..."
Even Su Zhe could know what was happening outside; a lot must have been going on.
Jianping looked up at the sky and said, "We need to get out; we can't stay here."
The smell of blood is getting stronger.
He then looked at Ji Shao.
The two people beside Ji Shao who had been unconscious for a long time were still not awake, and Su Xian, who could treat them, had also disappeared.
Ji Mumu didn't know when she would wake up.
The situation is getting worse; they can't just leave Ji Shao and Ji Mumu here, can they?
But you can't stay here for long.
The fact that this Evil Cult was waiting for them here already shows that the Evil Cult had a specific purpose.
Perhaps another attack will be launched here soon.
Jianping looked at the Daoist Family Saint Son and walked over.
