Bai Ye knelt on the track and pulled the bolt of the gun, and a dim energy crystal block popped out from the gun body.
Bai Ye quickly took out a new energy crystal and loaded it into the gun body, but at this moment...
*Crack!*
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the frozen tentacles. One tentacle broke free from the frost and smashed heavily onto Bai Ye's back.
"Ugh..."
Bai Ye couldn't help but groan, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and loaded the energy crystal. As the tentacle smashed down again, he abruptly turned his body.
"Die!"
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger, and an energy beam shot out, instantly blasting the tentacle to smithereens.
Bai Ye climbed up from the track, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll go all out, Assault!"
Assault: Able to continuously fire energy beams without interval until the energy crystal is depleted or you release the trigger. After each use of Assault, Dragon's Roar requires a nine-minute cooldown.
Assault, one of the many effects of Dragon's Roar, was not something Bai Ye intended to use unless absolutely necessary.
Because this move represented going all out!
If Bai Ye couldn't break through after using Assault, Dragon's Roar would be rendered useless and would require a nine-minute cooldown before it could be used again.
However, Bai Ye couldn't worry about that much now.
Just do it!
Dragon's Roar truly roared.
Bai Ye continuously pulled the trigger, and energy beams were constantly fired forward.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The tentacles blocking Bai Ye's path were continuously smashed to pieces, and countless fragments of flesh exploded outwards, scattering in all directions.
Thick purple liquid dripped continuously, splashing onto the track or falling below, hitting the ground with a splat.
"Ah!"
Bai Ye also became frenzied, shouting loudly.
Dragon's Roar was even more ferocious 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. The tentacles were all smashed to pieces by Bai Ye. Even though the Lord in Yellow continuously summoned new tentacles, they couldn't keep up with the speed at which Bai Ye destroyed them.
Bai Ye strode forward, heading straight for the Lord in Yellow.
The Lord in Yellow's eyes under his hood turned even more scarlet. He swung his right hand forcefully, and a purple phantom quickly covered his arm.
It was clear that the Lord in Yellow was ready to face Bai Ye directly, but...
Suddenly, the moment Bai Ye reached the bottom of the slope and came in front of the Lord in Yellow, he leaped sharply to the side, his body beginning to fall.
The Lord in Yellow turned his head to look at Bai Ye.
As he fell, Bai Ye waved at the Lord in Yellow and said, "Bye-bye!"
The next instant...
"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 there was no point in doing so.
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 beginning to end was to keep moving forward, getting closer to the haunted house.
After descending the slope, the building Bai Ye was temporarily aiming for was to his side. Why continue to tangle with the Lord in Yellow?
Bai Ye smashed through a skylight and then leaped into the building.
After landing, Bai Ye immediately looked around.
It was a fast-food restaurant with tables and chairs. There was no one else there.
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 still a human card, Bai Ye would have no choice but to risk tangling with the Lord in Yellow again, fighting and finding a way to advance towards the haunted house.
As Bai Ye thought, he took out a can and started eating.
When the can was finished, exactly six minutes had passed. A light screen appeared before Bai Ye, with two cards floating on it.
Bai Ye still chose the card on the left. He had picked human cards twice in a row from the left, so it should be a ghost card this time, right?
Bai Ye flipped the card over and then slammed it hard onto 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, which meant that this time Bai Ye had still drawn a human card.
"This is killing me," Bai Ye felt a headache coming on and said in frustration, "Do I really have to fight supervisors all the way to the haunted house?"
*Ding-a-ling...*
As Bai Ye thought, he was about to leave the fast-food restaurant. He had drawn a card, so what else could he do but fight? Just then, the phone behind the restaurant counter suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye glanced at the counter and then ignored it.
The sudden ringing of the phone might not be a good thing. Don't forget, this was a supernatural area. Perhaps just by 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 hanging on a pillar also rang, and Bai Ye happened to be walking past that pillar.
Bai Ye couldn't help but stop. This was interesting.
Did this mean he was being told to answer the phone?
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then walked to the public telephone and picked up the receiver.
"Hello!" a voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello, are you interested in cooperating?"
"Hmm?" Bai Ye said, "Chosen one?"
"Yes, I'm not some strange entity from this place, but a chosen one like you. My name is Li Jiayi," Li Jiayi said. "By the way, I have the ghost card."
Bai Ye looked around and said, "Are you watching me?"
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "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 will our cooperation entail? 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 fighting a supervisor alone and successfully escaping from the supervisor twice. As for the content of our cooperation, it's naturally to complete the forbidden zone mission as quickly as possible. Many people are still hiding in buildings, focusing on finding ghosts and killing them. Some people who have drawn ghost cards are also trying to find isolated individuals to kill to obtain God's Stone fragments. However, the game in the Death Amusement Park isn't played like that."
"Oh?" Bai Ye became 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?"
