Chapter 1254 - 1221: Mysterious Attack
In the Poisonous Mist Swamp outside of Rhein Town, Lin Yi had imagined on the way here that it might not have an end;
He also thought its end might be an insurmountable peak;
Or a vast and boundless sea.
But when Lin Yi saw light inside it, he realized in his heart:
The truth is far more complex than he had imagined.
What Lin Yi hadn’t expected.
Was that there could be light at the end.
In this place shrouded in darkness, the sudden appearance of light was extraordinarily out of place and unbelievable.
Especially when Lin Yi noticed.
That the line separating light from darkness was so thin, he sensed he might have inadvertently discovered a colossal secret.
As for what this secret was, Lin Yi wasn’t sure.
But Lin Yi understood.
The answer lay behind the barrier-like line right in front of him, as long as he crossed over...
Seeing his arm pass through the barrier without any mishap, Lin Yi no longer hesitated, stepping forward into it.
When Lin Yi crossed that line and left the darkness, the scene before him completely stunned the unprepared Lin Yi:
"What the hell!!!"
Buildings arranged in a picturesque manner stood quietly in the nearby plains.
A flaming red sun hung high above.
The warm sunlight fell on Lin Yi’s face, dispelling the chill brought by the Poisonous Mist Swamp.
A gentle breeze caressed Lin Yi’s cheeks, leaving a lingering fragrance of grass that lifted his spirits.
The shadow of a tree Lin Yi saw in the Poisonous Mist Swamp might just be the towering ancient tree that now shadowed the entire village ahead.
Among its branches hung fruits that emitted a tempting aroma,
These fruits were the size of apples, yet they glittered like crystal art pieces under the sunlight.
Staring at this idyllic Peach Blossom Spring before him, Lin Yi could hardly compare it with the eerie and terrifying Poisonous Mist Swamp.
Lin Yi suddenly thought of something.
When Lin Yi turned to try to return to the Poisonous Mist Swamp, he was shocked to find a boundless grassland behind him.
The threshold separating darkness from light had vanished.
Feeling a bit at a loss, Lin Yi opened the system and found it didn’t affect his ability to use the system here.
Moreover, when Lin Yi clicked the [Return to City] skill, it activated normally.
This discovery made Lin Yi breathe a sigh of relief while arousing his curiosity even more about his surroundings.
This dreamlike scenario led Lin Yi to momentarily think he was dreaming.
With the disappearance of the Poisonous Mist, Lin Yi quickly released the Jade Qilin and White Tiger from the Pet Space.
The moment Jade Qilin appeared, it exclaimed excitedly:
"I was suffocating to death!"
"Even if it means being poisoned, I’d rather not go back to that cramped place (War Pet Space) again."
At this moment, the Jade Qilin appeared intoxicated, greedily inhaling the fresh air, saying:
"Wow~ where is this place, it feels so comfortable."
In contrast to Jade Qilin’s exuberance, White Tiger appeared much quieter.
Upon appearing, Tiger Girl immediately jumped onto Lin Yi’s shoulder and hung on.
After finding a comfortable position, Tiger Girl fixed its gaze on the distant village, whispering in Lin Yi’s ear:
"Master! Be cautious inside there."
Lin Yi turned his head in surprise to look at Tiger Girl:
"Cautious of what?"
Facing Lin Yi’s confusion, Tiger Girl simply shook its head and said:
"I don’t know what to be cautious of."
"But my instincts tell me this place is very dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
Gazing at the seemingly uninhabited village not far away, Lin Yi couldn’t help but think:
’Could there really be people here?’
With this thought, instead of feeling fear, Lin Yi grew even more excited:
"Let’s go, take a look."
If there are indeed people here, at least he could find out where this place is, is it on [Paradise Island]?;
And why does it appear deep within the Poisonous Mist Swamp;
Just as the trio approached the village, an ominous power assaulted Lin Yi from one side, making his heart pound.
At the same time, the Jade Qilin and White Tiger sensed the danger.
The Jade Qilin shouted:
"Master be careful!"
White Tiger, too, promptly stood up from Lin Yi’s shoulder and let out a Tiger Roar:
"Roar~"
The massive sound waves formed visible ripples, enveloping Lin Yi.
Lin Yi did not stand idle, immediately activating his skill:
"Titan’s Fury" (Upon activation, damage received is reduced by 80% for 10 seconds)
Soon, a giant Titan shadow appeared on Lin Yi, and next:
"Boom~" A dull thud.
A heavy impact pushed Lin Yi back more than ten meters before he managed to steady himself.
At this moment, Lin Yi was horrified to find that his Life Value had just dropped by a terrifying one-third!!!
To know this was after reducing damage by 80%, combined with White Tiger’s defensive skills.
Even so, over five million of his health had been lost.
What terrified Lin Yi even more was not having seen what was attacking him during that time!!
Lin Yi asked with lingering fear:
"Did any of you see what it was?"
By now, the Jade Qilin had put away its playful demeanor and reverted to its true form, radiating lightning as it vigilantly guarded Lin Yi’s side, saying:
"I only saw a shadow flash by, couldn’t quite make out what it was."
White Tiger also shook its head indicating:
"I too didn’t see the opponent clearly."
"But I can feel it’s still around us."
Hearing this, Lin Yi’s hair stood on end:
"Damn."
Never did he think that upon arrival he’d encounter such a formidable adversary.
Lin Yi tried speaking to the air:
"I wonder which esteemed senior might be here, could you reveal yourself?"
Lin Yi deliberately raised his voice at this point, so it could reach further, also expressing sincerity and goodwill.
Yet after waiting for a while, he received no response.
Lin Yi spoke again:
"Please forgive my abrupt intrusion, I kindly ask for a chance to explain the motives."
And like before, no response was forthcoming.
Suddenly, White Tiger said:
"It left!"
Left?!
Lin Yi frowned, asking White Tiger:
"Can you sense where it went?"
White Tiger turned its gaze to the distant, silent village before saying:
"Over there..."
