The Game with Fairies

Chapter 167

In the inn’s room, Li Muyang kept entering the game, only to be ejected over and over.

The number of failures had almost numbed him.

Now, the speed at which he exited and re-entered the game was astonishingly fast.

But the Red Ridge Mountain is still far away.

In the dark land, countless evil gods roamed.

As Li Muyang moved forward, he would encounter a strange evil god.

These evil gods weren’t deliberately blocking Li Muyang. They were just wandering in the darkness and happened to run into him.

Li Muyang gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of this dark land.

The frequency of the evil gods’ appearances was outrageous.

No wonder the system recommended using Wuming’s character card. Who else would have the ability to instantly kill evil gods?

Li Muyang continued to move forward in the darkness, his flying sword tearing through the dark and slaying evil gods.

However, the problem was that each evil god could also easily kill Li Muyang.

But Li Muyang’s flying sword had a 50% chance of failing to insta-kill.

And it was a 50% chance each time he used the flying sword, with no guaranteed success.

If he was unlucky, he might fail to trigger it several times in a row.

If the instant death didn’t trigger, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli would be instantly killed by the evil god.

And even if instant death did trigger, sometimes the evil god’s abilities were so terrifying that they could take Li Muyang down with them before dying.

There were even evil gods that the instant death flying sword couldn’t affect, such as those with multiple lives or the ability to resurrect after death.

Li Muyang could only avoid them.

This cycle of dying, reloading, dying, and reloading went on for an entire day.

He struggled through the darkness, relying on saving the game to finally “kill” twenty-seven evil gods.

It was a remarkable feat.

However, there was still a long way to go to reach the Red Ridge Mountains.

When Li Muyang had slain more than thirty evil gods, a cold wind suddenly swept across the dark land.

Then the dark sky violently split open, and a blood-red light spread across the land.

Everyone standing on this land looked up to see the darkness above split in two, revealing a huge blood-red eyeball writhing and watching Li Muyang.

Li Muyang whispered to Fairy Liuli, sharing his discovery.

The old village chief’s advice to stay overnight and not to travel at night was like a guiding light!

As long as one doesn’t leave the town at night, there’s no danger at all.

Fairy Liuli also realized that the town was a safe zone, and the evil gods roaming the wilderness didn’t come near these townsfolk.

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

“But why don’t the evil gods approach these villages and towns? Could these villagers have some kind of miraculous power?”

This was a question that both of them couldn’t figure out.

Why are there so many evil deities wandering in the wilderness, but they specifically avoid places where the living congregate?

Are the living beings in this Ancient Grudge Well truly alive?

Li Muyang, testing the waters, cast Dharma-Annihilation Wheel on a sleeping couple.

A flash of blue light disappeared into the darkness, but this time the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel failed to instantly kill the couple.

As the Wheel approached, the couple who had been sleeping peacefully on the bed suddenly leaped up, their bodies transforming into two grotesque and ferocious evil beings.

They roared and shrieked, launching an attack on Li Muyang. The health bars above their heads changed from the pale yellow of neutral creatures to a threatening blood red.

With a single sword strike, Fairy Liuli’s Sword Qi, several meters wide, turned both evil beings and the house into ash.

In the darkness, the two exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

“Is this entire town filled with evil beings?”

Fairy Liuli was somewhat shocked, yet it felt somewhat expected.

After all, what else could the creatures living in the same world as the evil gods be if not evil beings?

Li Muyang was shocked by something else—during the day, he had tested the villagers and the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel had easily killed them without any transformation.

But why did these villagers turn into evil beings when attacked at night?

Or was it that the previous village had normal people, and this town was entirely evil beings?

While Li Muyang was still pondering, the quiet town suddenly became restless.

The commotion from their fight with the evil beings seemed to have awakened the entire town’s populace.

One after another, terrifying figures leaped out from the darkness; all the townsfolk who had been sleeping quietly were now roaring as they pounced toward Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli.

Under the faint blue glow of the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel, a sea of blood-red health bars surged over, quickly drowning out all the light in the darkness.
