Bai Ye knelt on the track and pulled the bolt of the gun. A dull energy crystal block popped out from the gun body.
Bai Ye quickly took out a new energy crystal and inserted it into the gun body, but at this moment…
*Crack!*
Large cracks suddenly appeared on the frozen tentacles. One tentacle broke free from the icy restraint and smashed heavily onto Bai Ye’s back.
“Ugh…”
Bai Ye grunted, gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and finished loading the energy crystal. As the tentacle smashed down again, he spun around fiercely.
“Die!”
*Bang!*
Bai Ye pulled the trigger. The energy beam shot out, instantly pulverizing the tentacle.
Bai Ye got up from the track, gritting his teeth and saying, “I’ll go all out, Assault!”
Assault: Ability to continuously fire energy beams without interval until the energy crystal is depleted, or the trigger is released. After each use of Assault, the Dragon’s Roar requires a nine-minute cooldown.
Assault was one of the many effects of the Dragon’s Roar, and Bai Ye had no intention of using it 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 worry about that now.
Let’s do this!
The Dragon’s Roar truly roared.
Bai Ye continuously pulled the trigger, and energy beams were constantly fired forward.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The tentacles blocking Bai Ye’s path were continuously shattered, countless pieces of flesh exploding outwards in all directions.
Viscous purple liquid dripped and splattered on the track, or fell downwards, hitting the ground and shattering.
“Ah!”
Bai Ye also became frenzied, roaring loudly.
The Dragon’s Roar was more ferocious than Bai Ye had imagined. Bai Ye only needed to continuously pull the trigger.
Soon, the area in front of Bai Ye was a mess. The tentacles were all shattered by Bai Ye. Even though the Master in Yellow kept summoning 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 Master in Yellow.
The eyes under the Master in Yellow’s hood turned even more crimson. He swung his right hand forcefully, and a purple phantom quickly covered his arm.
It was clear that the Master in Yellow was ready to face Bai Ye head-on, but…
Suddenly, the moment Bai Ye reached the bottom of the slope and was in front of the Master in Yellow, he suddenly leaped to the side, his body starting to fall downwards.
The Master in Yellow turned his head to look at Bai Ye.
As he fell, Bai Ye waved at the Master in Yellow and said, “Bye bye!”
The next instant…
“Wind Curse!”
On the roof of the building below the track, a ring of wind suddenly rose, catching Bai Ye as he fell and allowing him to land steadily on the rooftop.
Bai Ye had never considered a head-on battle with the Master in Yellow, because it would be meaningless.
Even if Bai Ye killed the Master in Yellow, a new supervisor would appear in the Death Amusement Park to replace him.
Therefore, Bai Ye’s goal from the beginning had been to keep moving forward, to get closer to the haunted house.
After descending the slope, Bai Ye’s temporary target building was located to the side. Why would he continue to tangle with the Master 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 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 no choice but to risk tangling with the Master in Yellow again, fighting his way towards the haunted house.
As Bai Ye thought this, 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’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 threw it forcefully onto the table.
“Your grandmother, is it that hard to be a ghost? I don’t want to be a person anymore!”
The white card face clearly showed Bai Ye’s likeness, indicating that Bai Ye had once again drawn a human card.
“This is killing me,” Bai Ye felt his head throbbing and became somewhat frantic. “Do I really have to fight my way through supervisors to get to the haunted house?”
*Ding ding ding…*
As Bai Ye pondered this, he prepared to leave the fast-food restaurant. He had already drawn his card; what else could he do? He could only fight head-on. Just then, the telephone inside the restaurant counter suddenly rang.
“Huh?”
Bai Ye glanced at the counter and then ignored it.
The phone ringing so abruptly might not be a good thing. Don’t forget, this was a supernatural area. Perhaps picking up the phone would invite some malevolent spirit.
As Bai Ye thought this, he continued to walk forward, but after only about ten 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. “Hello, are you interested in cooperating?”
“Hmm?” Bai Ye asked. “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 have 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 think it’s better if we don’t meet.”
Bai Ye said, “Cooperation requires some basic conditions. Why are you looking for me to cooperate? What are the contents of our cooperation? How can 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 restricted area mission as quickly as possible. Many people are still hiding inside buildings, focusing on finding the 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 this way.”
“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?”
