Bai Ye knelt on the track and pulled the bolt of his gun, and a dim energy crystal block popped out from the gun's body.
Bai Ye quickly took out a new energy crystal and inserted it into the gun's body, but at this moment…
*Crack!*
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the frozen tentacles. One tentacle broke free from the frost's restraint and smashed down fiercely on Bai Ye's back.
"Ugh…"
Bai Ye couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Gritting his teeth, he endured the pain and loaded the energy crystal block. As the tentacle smashed down again, he spun around abruptly.
"Die!"
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and an energy beam shot out, instantly pulverizing the tentacle.
Bai Ye climbed up from the track, gritting his teeth, "I'll go all out, Assault!"
Assault: Allows for continuous firing of energy beams without intervals, until the energy crystal is depleted or you release the trigger. After each use of Assault, the Dragon's Roar requires a nine-minute cooldown.
Assault, one of the many effects of the Dragon's Roar, was not something Bai Ye intended to use unless absolutely necessary.
Because this move represented a desperate gamble!
If Bai Ye couldn't break through after using Assault, the Dragon's Roar would be useless and would require a nine-minute cooldown before it could be used again.
However, Bai Ye couldn't afford to worry about that now.
Let's do this!
The Dragon's Roar truly began to roar.
Bai Ye continuously pulled the trigger, and energy beams were fired forward without pause.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The tentacles blocking Bai Ye's path were continuously shattered, their flesh exploding in all directions and scattering.
Viscous purple liquid dripped down, splattering on the track or falling below, hitting the ground and smashing into pieces.
"Ah!"
Bai Ye also became frenzied, roaring loudly.
The Dragon's Roar was fiercer than Bai Ye had imagined. Bai Ye only needed to keep pulling the trigger.
Soon, the area in front of Bai Ye was a mess. All the tentacles had been pulverized by Bai Ye. Even as the Lord in Yellow continuously summoned new tentacles, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which Bai Ye was destroying them.
Bai Ye strode forward, heading straight for the Lord in Yellow.
The eyes beneath the Lord in Yellow's hood turned even more scarlet. With a forceful wave of his right hand, a purple phantom quickly enveloped the Lord in Yellow's arm.
Clearly, the Lord in Yellow was ready to face Bai Ye directly, but…
Suddenly, the moment he reached the bottom of the slope and came before the Lord in Yellow, Bai Ye leaped sharply to the side, his body beginning to fall.
The Lord in Yellow turned his head to look at Bai Ye.
As Bai Ye fell, he waved at the Lord in Yellow and said, "Bye-bye!"
The next moment…
"Wind Curse!"
On the roof of the building below the track, a circle of wind suddenly rose, catching the falling Bai Ye and allowing him to land steadily on the rooftop.
Bai Ye had never considered a head-on fight with the Lord in Yellow because it would have been meaningless.
Even if Bai Ye killed the Lord in Yellow, a new supervisor would still appear in the Death Amusement Park to replace him.
Therefore, Bai Ye's goal from the beginning was to keep moving forward, to get closer to the haunted house.
After descending the slope, the building Bai Ye was temporarily targeting was to his side. Why continue to tangle with the Lord in Yellow?
Bai Ye smashed through the skylight and then leaped into the building.
Upon landing, Bai Ye immediately looked around.
It was a fast-food restaurant, with tables and chairs scattered around. There was no one else here.
Bai Ye casually pulled out a chair and sat down. He checked the time; there were six minutes left until the next card draw, so Bai Ye decided not to move. He would rest for six minutes and wait for the card draw.
Of course, if it was another human card, Bai Ye would have to risk tangling with the Lord in Yellow again, fighting while trying to find a way to advance towards the haunted house.
As Bai Ye thought, he took out a can and began to eat.
When he finished the can, exactly six minutes had passed. A light screen appeared before Bai Ye's eyes, with two cards floating on it.
Bai Ye still chose the card on the left. He had drawn human cards from the left twice in a row; it was time for a ghost card, right?
Bai Ye flipped the card over and then slammed it down on the table.
"Damn it, is it that hard to be a ghost? I don't want to be a human!"
On the white card face was Bai Ye's own likeness, indicating that this time, Bai Ye had still drawn a human card.
"This is going to kill me." Bai Ye felt a headache coming on and said in exasperation, "Do I really have to fight my way through supervisors to get to the haunted house?"
*Ding-a-ling…*
As Bai Ye pondered, he prepared to leave the fast-food restaurant. He had drawn the card, so what else could he do? He could only fight head-on. But at this moment, the phone behind the restaurant counter suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye glanced at the counter and then chose to ignore it.
The phone ringing so abruptly might not be a good thing. Don't forget, this was a supernatural area. Perhaps by just answering the phone, he would be entangled by some evil spirit.
As Bai Ye thought, he continued to walk forward. But after only a dozen steps, a public telephone mounted on a pillar also rang, and Bai Ye happened to be walking past that pillar.
Bai Ye couldn't help but stop. This was getting interesting.
Was this a sign telling him to answer the phone?
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the public telephone and picked up the receiver.
"Hello!" a voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, are you interested in cooperating?"
"Hmm?" Bai Ye said, "A chosen one?"
"Yes, I'm not some strange entity from this place, but a chosen one just like you. My name is Li Jiayi," Li Jiayi said. "By the way, I drew a ghost card."
Bai Ye looked around. "Are you watching me?"
Li Jiayi smiled. "If you need me to, I can show myself, but not now. It will be after you agree to cooperate. Otherwise, I don't think it's a good idea to meet."
Bai Ye said, "Cooperation requires some basic conditions. Why are you looking for me to cooperate? What is the content of our cooperation? Why should we trust each other?"
Li Jiayi said, "The reason I'm looking for you to cooperate is that you are very strong. I saw you dealing with a supervisor alone and successfully escaping from a supervisor twice. As for the content of our cooperation, it's naturally to complete the forbidden zone mission as soon as possible. Currently, many people are still hiding in buildings, focusing on finding ghosts and killing them. Some people who drew ghost cards are also trying to find isolated individuals to kill, in order to obtain God Stone fragments. However, the game in the Death Amusement Park isn't played like this."
"Oh?" Bai Ye became a little interested, and thus gained some patience. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and said, "Then how do you think it should be played?"
