Chapter 227 - Sudden Accidents

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning to the base, Li Yi first went to the training ground.

The training ground was empty.

He did not know where Clutch King and Dream Seeker had run off to.

He was also not sure if Dream Seeker and Clutch King were talking.

If Clutch King had not gotten over the knot in his heart, that would not be good.

Li Yi went to ask Snow Chaser, who only replied that the two of them had quickly left the station and that she did not know where they had gone.

Li Yi was a little worried.

He did not know where they had gone, so he could only send a message to Dream Seeker.

After sending the message, Dream Seeker only replied saying that the two of them had some personal matters to attend to. He did not further elaborate.

As long as he knew that Clutch King was with Dream Seeker, his worries had calmed down a lot.

After all, Dream Seeker was not the kind of person who would let Clutch King do whatever he wanted.

Now, Dream Seeker’s words were more helpful to Clutch King than Li Yi’s; after all, the two of them were closer. It was easier to accept what Dream Seeker had to say.

Li Yi was already the president of Carefree Station, and his words might come off more like commands.

Although Clutch King would listen, he might not necessarily be able to empathize with what Li Yi has to say.

It would be just like listening to elderly advice — he would listen, but he would also feel a certain sense of rejection.

However, Dream Seeker was different. He could be considered Clutch King’s best friend right now.

Dream Seeker’s words was easier to accept.

Li Yi pushed aside the matter, he had to collect the rewards first.

For station rewards, the system would not directly give them to him. Instead, he would receive them from the main building’s special collection point.

Li Yi walked into the main building, which had a secret room. It was located on the first floor of the main building. This was the place where the rewards were distributed.

Only the station’s president could enter.

When Li Yi arrived at the room, the surroundings were covered with runes. The moment Li Yi entered, the runes emitted a faint blue light.

There was a magic array on the ground. This magic array was the place where the system would transport the rewards.

This was something that Li Yi only found out after the system notification was given.

[System Notification: Station rewards are now available.]

With a ding sound, a treasure chest suddenly appeared on top of the originally empty magic array.

The treasure chest opened the moment Li Yi touched it. Inside, dazzling treasures slowly began to form. As Li Yi was about to pick them up… His surroundings were suddenly covered by a cloud of black fog.

The black fog was accompanied by cold water vapor.

In an instant, Li Yi felt paralyzed.

Only his eyeballs could still move.

He looked around at the black fog and could not see anyone.

He was familiar with this black aura. It was completely identical to the aura on the demon sword.

[System Notification: Warning! Warning! Unknown factor is approaching!]

Hearing the system notification, Li Yi’s entire body began to tremble. An unknown factor also meant that this situation was not within the scope of the system.

It was not the game’s settings. Moreover, this black aura felt familiar.

The truth was self-evident.

The black aura gradually dissipated and a pitch-black teleportation door appeared in front of Li Yi.

A pale-faced man with snow-white long hair and wearing black war god armor walked out. The black aura he emanated was even more terrifying than the black aura on Deaths Descent itself.

If the black aura on Deaths Descent made players feel the aura of death… Then this man would feel like death itself.

The man’s pair of pitch-black eyes emitted a faint blue flame behind it. Every breath he released could be frozen into ice.

“I’ve finally found you.”

The man grabbed Li Yi and brought him into the pitch-black teleportation door.

Li Yi felt his vision go black. When he regained consciousness again, he saw the ground filled with skeletons, a river of blood, and a dark and chaotic hellish looking sky.

Li Yi wanted to switch out of the system to check where he was. However, no matter how much Li Yi tried the system did not appear.

“Where… am I?”

Li Yi started to feel afraid. He could not help but mutter in a low voice. The man who was carrying him forward seemed to have heard Li Yi’s voice. He replied coldly, “This is my residence, the underworld of the Demonic Domain.”

“This is the Demonic Domain!”

Li Yi’s body trembled. His heart was filled with fear.

The Demonic Domain was the origin of the demonic swordLi Yi obtained. He had never dared to set foot in this place.

He had originally planned to wait until he had reached the later stages of the Demonic Domain before coming here.

However, now, he had actually been forcefully brought here.

Now that he was weak, what should he do to protect himself?

The man’s hands were extremely cold. Even though he was only lightly dragging Li Yi, Li Yi’s body was still affected by his cold hands.

He did not know who this man was, but he was certain that he was an extremely powerful existence. After all, this entire underworld was his residence.

Although Li Yi could speak now, he was still unable to move.

He was certain that with his current level, the other party would be able to kill him with just a glance.

This man should be at least level 200 and above.

Right now, he had to think of a way to escape.

Without Deaths Descent, Li Yi’s current combat strength would not even be able to withstand a single flick of a wrist from his opponent.

At this moment, Li Yi had a flash of inspiration. If the system could not be used, then the system’s seal would not be effective either.

He would try to take out Deaths Descent later.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a cave dwelling.

In front of the cave dwelling were the remnant souls of the dead. There were also many statues that were frozen. Those statues looked almost lifelike, as if they were real players.

Every one of them had a ferocious expression. It was as if they had seen something terrifying before turning into stone.

“Wake up!”

The man said indifferently.

The ice on the statues instantly melted like water. In the next moment, all the statues came to life.

Li Yi had not expected that these statues were actually living players.

Every one of them was drenched in water and trembled non-stop. The moment they woke up, one of them started to flee into the distance. He was probably not even one-tenth as fast as Clutch King.

In the next moment, that man only gave him a look, and the guy who had already fled 100 feet instantly turned into a popsicle again.

“You still don’t know your place, so what’s the point trying!”

After the man finished speaking, the guy who had just turned into a popsicle instantly self-detonated. He turned into a pile of ice on the ground.

This time, the other players who intended to flee stopped in their tracks.

Li Yi was even more shocked by this scene.

This was a distance of 100 feet, and it was actually destroyed with just a glance. This kind of power was terrifying.

Even if Li Yi thought that he could escape before, now he was completely resigned to his fate.

The equipment and strength of the person who escaped just now should be at least at perfect level and above, and his strength was not lower than level 50.

However, all of this was nothing in front of this man.

“You guys guard the cave. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences.”

The statues nodded crazily like mallets.

This time, the man did not stay any longer. He carried Li Yi into the cave.

The cave looked very simple. The surroundings were made of stone-carved furniture. In the middle was a throne that was two meters high. Beside the throne lay a two-headed hound that was four meters long.

At this moment, Li Yi remembered the identity of this man.

He was the King of the Underworld!
