One Year Later

Secondly, upon arriving at the Shadow Gate, Li Wei sensed that it had led him to the Moon Gate.

The entire Shadow Market was completely deserted. Even the once bustling Free Market was now eerily quiet, and the sound of footsteps could be heard far and wide on the stone slabs.

Not to mention the Reincarnation Spring, even the Shadow Guard and Shadow Men were nowhere to be seen. Li Wei was encountering this situation for the first time, immediately became vigilant. After walking around again, Li Wei was certain that there was indeed no one else in the Shadow Guard except himself.

What exactly happened?

Filled with doubt, Li Wei even went to the Shadow Hall, a gathering place for top-tier experts, but still couldn't find any Reincarnation Spring. In desperation, Li Wei took out the Black Paper and opened the passage to the real world.

With a tearing sound, the air was ripped open, revealing a passage completely different from the one summoned by the Yellow Paper. Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then resolutely stepped inside.

In the next dream, Li Wei appeared in a Jungle.

Looking up at the blue sky and breathing into the familiar air, Li Wei could confirm that this was indeed the real world.

What confirmed Li Wei's suspicions even more was that a massive urinary tractor stood in the distance.

Unfortunately, Li Wei, having lost his Eye of Knowledge, was unable to register the case of the Shantou City, but without a doubt, this was absolutely not the case of the Shantou City.

Just looking at its area, it's already ten times the size of Shantou.

At this point, without the ability to teleport, without the ability to ride skeletal warhorses, and certainly not with the ability to fly, Li Wei could only rely on walking to reach the city of Mi.

The proverb "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" finally made Li Wei Weihuan understand its meaning. After walking for at least ten minutes, he finally caught sight of the tall gate of the city.

Moreover, this body was showing signs of fatigue, and Li Wei had already made up his mind to restore his combat strength as quickly as possible.

The Card Temple Technique is merely an aid; the most important thing is the Lotus Foundation Immortal Technique. Li Wei believes that with the aptitude of this body, he will definitely be able to cultivate true essence power very well.

Once his true essence is restored, he can regain the terrifying combat power he once possessed, capable of killing even Moon-level or Judgment-level enemies.

Of course, it would be even better if I could find Zheng Yutong and Nina before that, but now, in this body, would they still recognize me?

Just as Li Wei was lost in thought, a beastly roar came from behind him.

Li Wei immediately turned around and suddenly saw a group of people galloping towards them from a distance. Each of them was armed with a weapon, mostly long or short swords, and also carried wooden shields.

What attracted Li Wei was the group's mount.

Even without the Eye of Knowledge, Li Wei could recognize that it was clearly the Swift Dragon. Ah, the same skeletal warhorse as his own twilight mount from the game, it was good at running, only one had a greater burst of speed and the other had greater endurance.

The group of people had obviously spotted Li Wei as well, and they all stopped pulling on the scaffolding, looking at Li Wei with curious eyes.

"Hey, are you here to mess around with the Knights' Pit too?" The leader was a burly man, easily over 2 meters tall, riding a Swiftdragon, looking incredibly imposing.

However, this kind of person, Li Wei could intimidate with his power in the past, is not someone he can intimidate now. Instead, Li Wei calmly asked, "Question: is that city over there called Knight City?"

This question clearly surprised Han Hu and the group behind him.

It should be known that within a hundred miles of the Phoenix Gate, the most famous town in Knight City, under the leadership of its city lord, has reached level 3 and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, making it a true powerhouse. Yet this handsome young man was completely unaware of this.

Seeing the astonished expressions on the faces of the group opposite him, Li Wei also realized that he had asked a rather idiotic question. However, he knew that it was a bit inappropriate and that it was probably not a big deal. At most, he would be regarded as a naive or inexperienced kid.

Li Wei didn't care about this.

Sure enough, the man chuckled and said, "Young man, where did you come from? You don't even know what a knight's weapon is!"

The man standing nearby explained to Li Wei, "Brother, this Knight City is only called that by us Magic Crystal Warriors. The common people don't care about such things; they just want a stable living environment. We've hunted quite a few empty crystals this time, which we can exchange for a lot of things. I think we shouldn't waste our time here!"

The leader, Han Hu, nodded and patted Xun Zhenglong on the shoulder, saying loudly, "Little brother, since we're on the same road, why don't I give you a lift? Come on, get on!"

The other party clearly regarded Li Wei as a commoner.

There were no reincarnators among these people, but ordinary humans who had consumed magic crystals. Although they seemed to have some strength, they were all third-rate individuals. Li Wei believed that even if they detected that the other party had no ill intentions, he could easily deal with them using the legal cards he had created.

Moreover, Li Wei wanted to inquire about the current situation in the real world, so he didn't refuse and got on the Xunzhenglong.

"Go!" Driven by their riders, the velociraptors continued running forward.

Li Wei, however, was upstairs considering how to ask the question.

Since these people are all magic crystal warriors, we might as well start from that point.

"Brother, I'm listening to you. You're the Crystal Warriors. I've heard that anyone who consumes Crystal Stones can become Superman. I wonder if I have a chance to become a Crystal Warrior?"

At that moment, the man happened to see a hint of admiration in Li Wei's eyes.

The latter was clearly quite pleased, and cunningly revealed the secret Li Wei wanted to know. "Becoming a Magic Crystal Warrior is naturally appealing. Since that upheaval a year ago, Magic Crystals have become the main currency. Getting a lower-grade one isn't too difficult; you just need to exchange some daily necessities. Or you could find a job in Knight City and work hard for half a year; you should be able to get a Magic Crystal from the boss. Of course, if you're too lazy to do that, then that's another story!"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard Han Hu say "one year concurrently," but Li Wei didn't really hear the rest of the sentence.

"How long did it take for this Knight City to develop to reach this level?" Li Wei wanted to ask again. This Knight City was obviously Ru City, and both Ru City and Shan City appeared at the same time every month. If a year had really passed, it was not impossible for a certain reincarnator to develop it to level 3.

Sure enough, the man thought sadly and said, "It's about a year."

One year!

It's been a year already! No wonder he always felt something was off. (To be continued...)
