Chapter 123 Safe
"This is impossible, how did you find me?!"
The woman who was blocking Adam's blade was no longer as calm as she was at the beginning.
She looked at Li Qi in surprise and doubt, not understanding how he could have sensed her true presence.
Originally, she was thinking that while Li Qi was hesitating, she would walk up to him, knock him out with the auxiliary equipment she had developed, and take him away directly.
But unexpectedly, the other party discovered her first!
But how is this possible!
The relic she holds is the 'Mirage Ring', which is the best at creating illusions among the first-level relics. It can create illusions that look completely real.
Not only the visual effects, but even the sounds and smells can be simulated!
Li Qi should not have noticed the possibility! "A clown is a clown. Do you think I would be so kind as to tell you everything?"
Li Qi showed sarcasm on his face.
At the same time, he controlled Adam to continue attacking the woman.
How did you find out... This question required no explanation for Li Qi.
The woman can indeed simulate real hallucinations that interfere with people's vision, hearing, and smell, but she herself has no temperature.
Not only her, but even the monsters and hostages she created had no body temperature or heartbeat, as if they were non-existent air.
The woman standing in front of him seemed to be non-existent, but in the corner of the street, in the empty air, Li Qi "saw" a temperature graph that matched the image of the human body...
No matter how stupid Li Qi was, he could guess that the woman standing in front of him was just an illusion.
The real entity was just at the corner of the street, trying to get closer to him.
That's why he didn't hesitate to attack the place where he sensed the temperature, and unsurprisingly pulled out the woman's true body.
Now that he had discovered the woman's true identity, Li Qi naturally had no mood to play any games with her.
With just one hand, Li Qi was able to control Adam.
The puppet, which had been completely transformed into a weapon, attacked the woman mercilessly.
Almost every move and every style is aimed at the woman's vital points.
The woman responded reluctantly, and at the same time noticed the cold murderous intent in Li Qi's eyes.
She realized that Li Qi really wanted to kill her here, and immediately panicked and said quickly:
"Wait...wait a minute! Don't kill me!! I really mean no harm!!"
"Oh."
Li Qi didn't say anything. He just let out a mocking laugh and continued to let Adam attack the woman.
The woman was sweating profusely. Seeing that she could no longer withstand Adam's attack, she immediately shouted:
"I have a way for you to make a relic!!!"
Clang! Adam's blade stopped in front of the woman's eyeballs.
Just a little bit more and the blade would penetrate into the woman's head.
Staring at the cold blade so close to her, Jinghua's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Fortunately, she had been investigating Li Qi during this period and knew what the other party wanted most, so she was able to save her life with just one sentence.
Otherwise... Jinghua felt that she would really die here today.
A dignified Mist-level Tanwujia died at the hands of a newcomer Tanwujia's "relics".
Li Qi seemed to frown, but in fact, there was a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
The woman who calls herself Jinghua is actually not very strong. Although she has "qi" to enhance her physique, when her relic is completely defeated by Li Qi, she is not much different from an ordinary person.
Li Qi's Adam might be inferior in dealing with large monsters, but when it comes to dealing with humans, Adam is almost invincible.
In other words, if Li Qi had not let up just now, Mirror Flower, whose relic ability was completely ineffective, would not have lasted more than three moves in Adam's hands.
So from the beginning Li Qi had no intention of killing this woman.
After all, this woman came from the fourth-level fog zone, and she must know a lot of things that others don’t know.
For example, how relics are made.
Now it seems that Li Qi’s choice was correct. She really knew how to make a real relic.
After staring at Jinghua for a while, Li Qi controlled Adam and used his left hand to hook and lock the woman's body.
Although she was tied up by Adam, Jinghua felt relieved.
Being tied up is better than being killed. As long as she is alive, she will always have a chance to escape from Li Qi's control.
Having Adam drag the woman in front of him, Li Qi looked down at the woman slumped on the ground and asked, "Do you have a way to make a relic?"
"I...I didn't..."
"Um?"
The chains on Adam tightened a little.
Feeling the pressure, Jinghua said quickly: "But our organization has it! This is why I invited you! We not only have the method to make relics, but also more... things that you are interested in, as long as you can..."
"Shut up."
Seeing that Jinghua was about to start a pyramid scheme again, Li Qi kicked her mercilessly.
"oops--"
You could just tell me to shut up, why are you kicking me?
Jinghua cried out in pain, but couldn't help but blame Li Qi in her heart.
But Jinghua quickly put aside the little dissatisfaction in her heart, because she saw Li Qi's expression become solemn, and... the monsters surrounding nearby.
"Teacher! Yes, yes, yes..."
Jinghua can see it, and of course Ronnie can see it too.
He looked at the long-legged monsters that were surrounding him. They had seven or eight heads on their bodies, each with a hideous and weird expression, and he stammered to Li Qi.
Li Qi looked at the monsters walking slowly towards him, and his expression finally changed.
He kicked the mirror flower at his feet again and asked:
"Let me ask you a question. Are these monsters that are not recorded in the illustrated manual created by you?"
"You...you guessed it...?"
Jinghua asked in surprise.
This is not difficult to guess.
If these things had nothing to do with the [Light Chasing Society], Jinghua would not have transformed into a multi-armed bloated monster that appeared in the fog area to threaten Li Qi.
Only when one subconsciously believes that these things are one's 'subordinates', will Jinghua create corresponding illusions and be controlled by them.
The multi-armed bloated monster that appeared in the first layer of fog area and the multi-headed monster that appeared in front of Li Qi now are monsters that have never appeared in the picture book.
That's why Li Qi associated it with the monsters that appeared on the first floor and guessed that they were all created by the Light Chasing Society.
Jinghua's reaction proved that Li Qi was right.
"Since they are related to you, let them leave here." Li Qi said to Jinghua.
The creator of these things is the Light Chasing Society, which proves that the Light Chasing Society should have something that can control them.
Li Qi thought so, but Jinghua replied:
"I can't do that..."
"?"
"…I can only make them gather together, not make them leave. Even if I am targeted by them, the only thing I can do is run away!"
"waste."
Li Qi kicked Jinghua again, and at the same time took a deep breath to prepare for the fight.
The monster was getting closer and closer, and Li Qi no longer had the time to ask Jinghua more questions.
He glanced at Ronnie beside him, wondering how long it would take him to escape from the foggy area with Ronnie and Jinghua.
While thinking about it, Li Qi noticed that the mouths of those monsters were open on their heads.
“!!!!”
Intuition told Li Qi what would happen next, and he quickly used the flow of air to create a soundproof barrier in his ears to block out the outside sounds.
At the same time he shouted to Ronnie:
“Cover your ears!!!”
Ronnie didn't know why Li Qi said that, but the training Li Qi had given him over the past few days made him subconsciously obey the other party's orders and put his hands on his ears and covered them tightly.
"Wait… what about me?!"
Jinghua, who also realized something, was lying on the ground in a cocoon. Her eyes were full of fear as she shouted at Li Qi.
But Li Qi could no longer hear any sound, and... the monster's 'attack' had already begun.
Harsh sound waves came out from all the monsters' mouths.
Of course Li Qi couldn't hear the monsters' voices, but their voices had already formed vibration waves, which made people's internal organs feel uncomfortable when they hit the body.
Ronnie, who was standing by, turned pale and trembled even though he covered his ears.
Jinghua, who was lying at his feet, was in even worse condition. She opened her mouth as if she was shouting something loudly, and then she lost her breath soon after.
Li Qi remained expressionless as he looked at the monsters around him that looked like they were made up of heads, and let Adam attack the closest monster first.
As the blade swung, Adam had already cut off the two heads of the opponent, and bright red blood splattered.
However, the monster remained unmoved. Not only was it still able to move, it even stretched out its arms and hugged Adam.
But the speed was very slow, just like an old man doing rehabilitation exercises in the hospital. He slowly raised his hands and slowly hugged Adam.
While he was carrying him over, the sounds in the other heads did not stop.
Feeling the vibrations in the air and the discomfort in his internal organs, Li Qi knew he couldn't delay any longer.
He grabbed Ronnie's arm and jumped up from where he was, leaping over the heads of the monsters.
Then he gathered Adam and ran in a certain direction with Ronnie.
That direction is the direction in which the fog flows, and it is also the direction to the first layer of fog area.
If you run in this direction, regardless of whether the monsters can catch up with you, you will definitely get closer and closer to the safe zone.
Li Qi's choice was wise.
There are too many multi-headed monsters. A rough estimate is that there are at least six or seven of them.
Each of the hydras has a bunch of heads on its body, and each of these heads can make some visceral noises.
It would be easy for Li Qi to deal with them alone. He could kill them all by roaming and fighting.
But not Ronnie.
He was not yet a Tanwu family member, and had not even mastered Qi and relics. If he continued to stay here, he would probably be killed by the sonic attack.
So running away became the only option.
As for the mirror flower...
Li Qi looked back slightly, as if he wanted to confirm the appearance of Jinghua's body.
But as soon as he turned around, Li Qi stopped with Ronnie.
The small soundproofing barrier created in his ears dissipated, and Li Qi heard Ronnie's question: "Teacher... why... did you... stop... vomiting...?"
Ronnie asked while retching because his internal organs were vibrating from the sound waves.
Li Qi looked at the gradually dispersing fog and the gradually regaining color of the surroundings, and whispered to Ronnie: "No need to run."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog lingering around him completely dissipated.
At the same time, he also saw the Tanwu family members rushing towards this side.
"We are safe."
Looking at Carol who arrived first, Li Qi whispered to Ronnie.
