This was a stronghold built by the Hidden Dragon Society within a dangerous area.
Therefore, the fortifications were well-constructed, but the buildings within the stronghold were rudimentary, built one after another like simple forest cabins for camping.
They had even set up quite a few tents for resting.
From all aspects, it appeared to be a very ordinary stronghold camp, nothing special.
But the peculiar thing was…
This area was a low-level zone.
When the Hidden Dragon Society first built here, there were no issues, as they needed to occupy dangerous areas for hunting and to explore the surrounding forbidden zones more conveniently.
However, it was no longer the early days of the World Battlefield. These initial zone strongholds had long been abandoned. Why was this particular stronghold still operational and even guarded?
Moreover, the guards within this stronghold were all direct members of the Hidden Dragon Society.
As Yimi pondered this, he vaulted over the railing of a house, glanced around, confirmed no one was present, and carefully pushed open the door before entering.
The room was very dark, with no lighting equipment. Fortunately, Yimi was prepared. He first used his shadow to cover all light-permeable areas, then took out a flashlight to illuminate the space.
The room was empty, with only an open chest inside. And within it lay…
Yimi’s pupils constricted!
“Origin Stone!”
Yimi was very familiar with this item. He had been hunted by divine followers because he had obtained the Origin Stone.
He had only managed to escape by sheer luck because one of the divine followers had been his former companion and had suddenly regained his memory, which prevented Yimi from being killed.
Later, to protect Yimi, that person chose to commit suicide and asked Yimi to place the Origin Stone beside the corpse.
This way, with the Origin Stone no longer in Yimi’s possession, and no other divine followers having seen Yimi’s face, Yimi would no longer be pursued.
But…
Why was the Origin Stone in this place?
As Yimi pondered this, he walked forward and reached out to pick up the Origin Stone.
However, as Yimi’s fingertips touched the Origin Stone, his hand passed directly through it.
The chest and the Origin Stone were fake, merely illusions.
Yimi immediately realized something was wrong and turned to leave.
But as Yimi turned, he saw a person standing by the door.
A woman!
Lilith!
Lilith looked at Yimi and said, “You were lucky to have saved your life. Why do you continue to meddle in these matters?”
Yimi retreated a couple of steps, assuming a combat stance, and asked, “Who are you?”
Lilith did not answer, but continued, “Human life is precious, and therefore, it should be cherished.”
After speaking, Lilith stepped towards Yimi.
Without any hesitation, Yimi launched his attack!
“Shadow Spear!”
From beneath Lilith’s feet, shadows suddenly rose, forming the shape of a long spear, which thrust towards Lilith’s throat.
However, just as the Shadow Spear was about to strike, Lilith suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
The shadow spear instantly cracked like shattered glass, fissuring with countless lines.
Yimi let out a low growl and lunged towards Lilith, but at that very moment…
Lilith looked up and glanced at Yimi!
Boom!
In the next instant, Yimi’s body was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, creating a hole in it, and falling out of the house.
Climbing up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Yimi looked forward and asked, “Superhuman?”
Lilith shook her head and said, “Do you know how Superhumans came to be? When a person achieves something beyond human capability, they are called beings who have surpassed humanity, hence, Superhumans.”
As Lilith spoke, she raised her hand.
“For humans, this is praise, but for gods, this is an insult.”
Lilith said, and then pressed her hand forward.
In the next instant, a terrifying gravity appeared, pressing down on Yimi.
The immense gravity caused the ground beneath Yimi’s feet to shatter instantly, and it also pinned Yimi, making it impossible for him to straighten his body.
Meanwhile…
“Sigh, why are troublesome individuals appearing one after another? Isn’t this alerting the enemy?” In the forest outside the camp, Li Jiayi stood on the branch of a large tree, sighing helplessly, “This is making things difficult for me.”
As Li Jiayi finished speaking, his figure suddenly vanished, and he flew directly towards the sky.
On the other side, Yimi struggled, trying to resist the oppressive force, but his body was completely immobile.
As Lilith drew closer, cold sweat trickled down Yimi’s temples.
It was a feeling of impending death.
But at this moment…
“Hidden Blade Four Shadow Swords!”
A soft shout was heard, followed by four sword shadows suddenly descending from the sky.
Lilith looked up. The four sword shadows shattered simultaneously, dissipating into silver halos.
At the same time, Li Jiayi landed beside Yimi, grabbed him, and said, “Let’s go!”
…
Future Technology Zone.
“This young master is finally invincible!”
Bai Ye stood within the safe zone and laughed up at the sky.
“Who is this person?”
“Who cares who it is? They’re clearly crazy. Be careful not to get bitten.”
“Let’s go, let’s stay away from people like this.”
…
Bai Ye glanced around the surroundings and couldn’t help but huff. This young master is in a good mood today and won’t bother with you!
The reason for Bai Ye’s happiness was, of course, the Gate of Babylon!
Actually, sneaking into the Evil Spirit Gang’s warehouse would definitely be the fastest way to upgrade the Gate of Babylon. However, Gao Ming would never agree to such a strange request he had made before.
But now it was different. Gao Ming was just a puppet figurehead, and coupled with the Flower Street warehouse…
Bai Ye looked at the weapon reserves of the Gate of Babylon, and tears streamed down his face.
He finally qualified to inherit the title of Golden Flash. xxs壹贰
Gate of Babylon (Noble Phantasm) (Gold): The treasury of King Gilgamesh, containing endless treasures. Its quality improves based on the number of weapons recorded within the Gate of Babylon (no upper limit to quality improvement).
Currently recorded weapons…
Current quality improvement: 3121
With a thousand weapons, the Gate of Babylon’s quality improved to Gold. But this was not the end. After Bai Ye recorded the reserves from both the Evil Spirit Gang’s and Flower Street’s warehouses, the weapon reserves of the Gate of Babylon overflowed, even exceeding three thousand!
Bai Ye now wanted to ask, who dared to fight him!
He would smash them to death with weapons!
Besides that…
Bai Ye took out two vials of liquid, weighing them in his hand.
