Bai Ye let out a sigh of relief and sat down nearby to rest.
According to the road signs, his route was correct. However, there was still a considerable distance from the roller coaster to the haunted house. Although the Yellow King had fled, Bai Ye was certain that the moment he showed himself, the other party would appear.
And…
The Yellow King had one more troublesome trait than the Deer Head: the ability to move using its tentacles, making its pursuit even harder to evade.
As Bai Ye pondered, he glanced at the time. Half an hour remained!
If there wasn't much time left until the next round of card draws, Bai Ye wouldn't have minded waiting for the opportunity. But with half an hour…
"I'll take a gamble!"
Bai Ye took a deep breath and started walking out along the roller coaster tracks.
He wasn't expecting to reach the haunted house directly, but at least to close the distance as much as possible.
After leaving the building along the tracks, Bai Ye began to climb the roller coaster's rails.
Although the rails were part of the roller coaster, they weren't considered part of the building area.
Therefore, Bai Ye climbed quickly, knowing the Yellow King would surely pursue him.
The first incline was smooth, but as Bai Ye crested it and began to descend…
A purple glow appeared, and then, in front of Bai Ye, a tentacle suddenly emerged, sticking right onto the tracks and blocking his path.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and leaped directly off the incline of the tracks.
The next instant, the Dragon's Roar unleashed its fury!
*Bang!*
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, five beams of energy shot forward, illuminating the surroundings, and then…
*Boom!*
Upon impact with the tentacle, the energy beams instantly pulverized it, sending fragments of flesh flying in all directions. The very tracks of the roller coaster were severed by Bai Ye's shot.
The next moment, Bai Ye pushed off with his legs, leaped over the broken tracks to the opposite incline, and began climbing upwards with hands and feet.
He climbed to the very top, gazing ahead. He could see more than half of the Death Amusement Park, with faint lights twinkling. The whistling night wind blew continuously, like sharp knives, stinging his face with a slight ache.
Bai Ye quickly located the haunted house, but it was quite far from the roller coaster, situated in the deepest part of the Death Amusement Park.
So, Bai Ye's gaze shifted back from the haunted house, soon landing on a building near the roller coaster.
This was Bai Ye's immediate target. He would descend the incline ahead, enter that building, thus closing the gap slightly to the haunted house, and then wait for the next card draw.
But…
This would not be an easy task!
Bai Ye retracted his gaze and looked down below the tracks.
The Yellow King…
Had arrived!
The Yellow King stood at the bottom of the incline, a purple phantom appearing in its hand. With a wave forward, tentacles emerged continuously from both sides of the tracks, forming two dense rows, swaying in the night wind.
To advance, he had to overcome this obstacle!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, swung the Dragon's Roar to the side, and said, "Stinger!"
Five beams of energy shot out, quickly transforming into energy blades.
The gun mode of the Dragon's Roar would undoubtedly be better for dealing with those tentacles. Furthermore, destroying them from a distance would prevent them from attacking him.
However, with the Yellow King conjuring so many tentacles at once, even an idiot like Bai Ye knew what its plan was. Once those tentacles attacked, it would be a coordinated assault. Bai Ye could at most fire one or two shots; the tentacles wouldn't give him the opportunity to continuously fire.
In that case, close combat it was!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, held the Dragon's Roar horizontally, and pushed his left arm forward, causing the Hexagonal Prism Shield to appear in his hand.
With his weapon equipped, Bai Ye leaped downwards.
If the Yellow King retracted those tentacles now, Bai Ye would crash onto the ground like a thrown pancake. Fortunately, the Yellow King wasn't that cruel.
With a *bang*, Bai Ye landed directly on a tentacle, causing it to sway. He used this to cushion his fall, then hooked a foot into a gap between the tracks, stabilizing himself. He swung the Dragon's Roar forward and severed that tentacle.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Control!"
Having landed a blow, Bai Ye shouted softly. The Ning Shuang sword behind him vibrated continuously, soon transforming into a silver streak of light that shot forward.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…*
The Ning Shuang sword unleashed its power, piercing through the tentacles ahead in succession and heading straight for the Yellow King, its blade flying towards the creature's face.
However, just as it was about to strike, the Yellow King suddenly waved its hand, sending the Ning Shuang sword flying away.
On the other side, Bai Ye pressed forward, continuously slashing at the tentacles in front of him.
The Yellow King's tentacles were difficult to deal with; there were simply too many, attacking Bai Ye one after another. However, the Dragon's Roar was indeed a high-grade item obtained from the black gashapon. Its energy light blades were incredibly sharp, capable of slicing through iron as if it were mud. As Bai Ye cut through the tentacles, he felt no resistance, only the ease of slicing them apart.
Ten meters, eight meters, six meters…
As Bai Ye advanced, he also kept an eye on his surroundings.
The fight with the Yellow King wasn't the main objective. Bai Ye simply wanted to move forward as much as possible, to close the distance to the haunted house, rather than relying entirely on the card draws each round. Therefore, his current target was a building to the side of the roller coaster.
But at this moment…
*Buzz, buzz!*
The five energy light blades at the muzzle of the Dragon's Roar suddenly flickered and emitted strange noises.
Bai Ye's heart sank.
"Damn it, the energy crystal block is about to run out of power!"
The next instant, the five energy light blades of the Dragon's Roar suddenly vanished. Without the Dragon's Roar to block, a tentacle immediately lashed out at Bai Ye's waist.
This blow hit Bai Ye hard, causing him to tumble off the tracks. Fortunately, Bai Ye reacted quickly, grabbing the edge of the track and hanging in mid-air.
"Ning Shuang, Frost Swordplay!"
Seeing the tentacle coming at him, Bai Ye quickly shouted.
The Ning Shuang sword, abandoning the Yellow King, flew back behind him, simultaneously trailing a large expanse of frost that covered the surrounding area.
*Crack, crack!*
As the frost surged, the tentacles' surfaces were immediately covered with a layer of hard ice, freezing them in place.
This gave Bai Ye a chance to catch his breath, and he quickly used both hands to pull himself back onto the tracks.
