NOVEL NEXT Chapter 287: Plans and Mishaps
Five meters left!
As long as I cross the suspension bridge, within a mere five-meter distance, I can enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Once inside, Lin Yi can rely on his familiarity with the environment to shake off the pursuers behind him.
Moreover, Lin Yi knows there are several hidden chambers inside that can be used for hiding.
Lin Yi is confident that even the Demon Race, who have been here for centuries, couldn't find those chambers.
Upon realizing that he was unknowingly in danger, Lin Yi could only think of this method to seek self-preservation in a short time.
Because Lin Yi sensed something was wrong the moment he came out of the teleportation array in the commercial district.
However, the subsequent events confirmed Lin Yi's suspicion: he was being targeted.
Everything that happened back then was too coincidental, so coincidental that Lin Yi couldn't convince himself subconsciously that it was a one-in-a-million coincidence.
If not deliberately arranged, how could he have just teleported from the residential area and ran into that thief named Nate, who happened to distract the group of Demon Race?
The timing almost seemed like a pre-rehearsal, it was simply too perfect.
If Nate had been early, he might have been in danger, and if late, Lin Yi would have met the Demon Race head-on and fallen into a bitter battle.
Any deviation in timing, it wouldn't have been possible to meet them so smoothly.
The actions of Brahma Heaven and the others then further confirmed Lin Yi's guess, are these people eager to use him as cannon fodder?
Or do they have other motives?
Lin Yi has no idea what the conspiracy behind this is.
But when Yuna opened her mouth and told him to rest for a while before leaving, Lin Yi realized he had inadvertently fallen into some unknown trap.
No wonder Yuna appeared so calm when they first met.
Even when Lin Yi made unreasonable demands later, she was able to accommodate him.
Turns out this was all intentional from the start.
Though he was sold out, emotionally, Lin Yi couldn't seem to bring himself to hate Yuna, it's quite confusing.
If not, Lin Yi wouldn't have said what he did in the end and returned her weapon.
Otherwise, according to their verbal agreement, just selling him out would justify not returning the feather fan to her, and she would have no grounds to complain.
After all, that fan is a top-quality magic armor with no profession limit!
In hindsight, realizing that he was betrayed was the reason Lin Yi decided to come over.
To Lin Yi, it seemed like the whole city was filled with enemies.
In this enormous Floating City, there wasn't a single person he could rely on.
Which in itself is a kind of sorrow.
To continue to compete with these people, the only way Lin Yi could think of to protect himself was through this method.
Seeing the city gate right ahead, before Lin Yi could rejoice, a familiar chill suddenly came over him.
The killing intent came from above!
Lin Yi immediately gave up his chance to enter the city gate and rolled to the right on the spot.
"Bang!" Sounded beside him.
During the roll, Lin Yi was surprised to see that familiar black scythe now stuck fiercely in the spot where he had been standing.
Satan J!
Indeed, when Lin Yi regained his footing, Satan J suddenly descended from above, landing beside the scythe.
Satan J glanced contemptuously at Lin Yi, reaching out to pull out the scythe embedded in the ground.
Then, to Lin Yi's astonishment, Satan J directly lifted the scythe and charged toward Kovach.
As he neared Kovach, Satan J leaped, raising the scythe high above his head.
Kovach's face twisted in a sneer, another newly transformed human.
Seeing the opponent dare to attack him, Kovach's eyes filled with disdain.
"Looking for death!"
Satan J's scythe descended from above:
"Scythe of Punishment"
Kovach sneered, directly swinging his blade towards Satan J, whose body had yet to descend.
But in the instant Satan J's scythe fell, a red beam directly crashed into Kovach's body.
Kovach, originally full of contempt, suddenly felt alarmed:
"How can it be!"
Yet everything happened in a flash, and when Kovach sensed danger, the red beam had already slammed into his chest:
"Pshh~"
"-3170"
Kovach was instantly pushed back two steps, directly disrupting Kovach's imminent attack on Satan J.
Satan J successfully landed and closed in, pressing the attack.
Two red beams crossed, charging toward Kovach
"Blood Red Cross Slash"
"Shua" "Shua"
"-2106"
"-3803" Critical Strike~
Kovach was furious:
"All of you, die!"
Kovach then plunged a great blade into the ground:
"Earth Spike"
Sharpened earth spikes burst forth like a hidden hedgehog, frantically spreading toward Satan J.
At that moment, a talisman suddenly appeared and stuck to Kovach's back, causing a massive explosion.
"Fire Talisman"
"-3040"
The Earth Spike skill was interrupted at once, halting just half a meter from Satan J.
In the distance, Yamada Miki quickly cast spells with both hands, launching another talisman at the astonished group of Demon Race, resulting in a violent explosion among them
"Blast Talisman"
"-1005"
"-890"
"-1090"
...
A series of damage values rose above the heads of the Demon Race.
As the Demons snapped back, they roared and charged at Yamada Miki:
"Kill."
"Kill this human!"
"Kill him!"
...
Just then, the teleportation array suddenly lit up.
A player named King Caesar was leading two others swiftly joining the fray.
Watching the dramatically changed battlefield, Lin Yi was utterly confused:
"What kind of play is this?"
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly received a private message:
Yuna (Private Chat): "What are you standing there for? Run! They're going to kill you."
Run?
To where?
Don't be fooled that Satan J's focus is on the Demon General, Lin Yi knows:
If he shows any sign of entering the city, Satan J will forsake the Demon General and attack him instead.
For now, Lin Yi also put aside the idea of entering the city, looking at the battlefield and considering if he should cooperate with the Demon Race to catch them off guard first.
Lin Yi kept an eye on the battlefield situation to respond to any sudden changes, using this opportunity to replenish his health.
Lin Yi's life value was just over two thousand, and after drinking a Life Potion, his life value was gradually increasing, not instantly refilling.
It would take some time to refill, and at that moment, Lin Yi's gaze suddenly sharpened:
"Want to kill me? Heh~"
One moment, Lin Yi was watching the fight, and the next, he suddenly turned around:
"Arcane Impact!"
"Pshh"
"-2641"
System: Triggered passive paralysis effect, target action restricted, lasts 1 second.
In Sea King Nate's incredulous gaze, Lin Yi raised his longsword and directly pierced through him:
"Pshh"
"-3170"
Sea King Nate's life value was instantly depleted, leaving him with an expression full of confusion and disbelief as his eyes focused on Lin Yi.
Meanwhile, Brahma Heaven Emperor, who was not far away, hoped fervently as he watched Lin Yi in action: he can't see me, he can't see me…
But in the next instant, as Lin Yi's eyes turned towards him, Brahma Heaven Emperor's face contorted with fear.
On the other side, as Yamada Miki was ready to make a move, everyone was oblivious to the three pairs of eyes watching from above.
They had no idea about this secret surveillant, assessing everything.
