Chapter 1123: Chapter 1093: Unknown Dark Hall
"Be careful!!"
In an unknown cave, when Lin Yi, holding Zhang Xinying and Ai Wen, was swept into that eerie vortex, it felt as though they had fallen into a bottomless black hole, uncontrollably descending.
During this, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Xinying with a serious expression and said:
"Hold onto me tightly!"
Lin Yi held Zhang Xinying in his arms, his back facing what seemed like a giant ancient beast’s mouth, ready to devour. No one knew what lay beneath.
Lin Yi’s intention was clear—to use himself as a cushion, giving Zhang Xinying a sliver of hope for survival.
Zhang Xinying understood Lin Yi’s meaning, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed:
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
At this moment, Zhang Xinying could only repeat this word, her body tightly held by Lin Yi’s strong arms, giving her no chance to break free.
Some might ask, why not use flying equipment?
Is it that they didn’t use it?
In fact, they couldn’t!
From the beginning, they had already tried various methods to slow their descent.
Unfortunately, in this unfamiliar space, it was as if the three of them became ordinary people in the real world, let alone using flying equipment.
Even the system couldn’t be accessed, and all skills were the same.
During this, they had attempted to log out, but failed.
If they chose to forcefully disconnect now, it would mean the destruction of their characters in the game.
They were not at that point yet, so the three of them could only continue to fall.
Not only Lin Yi and Zhang Xinying but also Ai Wen, who had fainted from fright, and Ian, the Jade Qilin, who was clutching Lin Yi’s shoulder tightly: freewebnøvel.com
"We’re going to die! We’re going to die!"
Ian shouted in terror:
"Where is this place? It’s sealing all my power."
At this moment, both the Jade Qilin and Zhang Xinying looked at Lin Yi in shock, and the Jade Qilin exclaimed directly:
"Be careful, young master."
"Lin Yi, no! Let me go."
At this moment, Zhang Xinying wanted to turn her body around, but Lin Yi had already seen something in their eyes, refusing to give Zhang Xinying a chance, holding her tightly:
"I won’t let anything happen to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by Zhang Xinying and Ian’s exclamations:
"No!"
"Ah!"
The next moment:
"Bang!"
"Ugh~"
At the moment of impact with the ground, the violent collision made Lin Yi feel as though his organs were being displaced, his eyes almost popping out.
This might be the closest Lin Yi had felt to death since his rebirth.
The pain was so intense that he couldn’t even do something as simple as breathe, his mind flashing back over his life’s experiences.
Lin Yi wanted to get up to check on Zhang Xinying’s condition;
He also wanted to know where they were;
But before he could finish this thought, he felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurry.
Fortunately, just before losing consciousness, Lin Yi clearly saw Zhang Xinying’s fear-stricken face appearing in his vision:
"Lin Yi!"
"Don’t fall asleep, Lin Yi!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Open your eyes and look at me, Lin Yi! Lin Yi!"
"Lin Yi!"
After confirming Zhang Xinying was okay, Lin Yi couldn’t hold on any longer, his consciousness finally going blank.
...
...
"Shocking! The He Clan Battle Zone is finally going to attack the Demon Race in Celestial River City!"
"In two days, the He Clan Battle Zone will launch a siege on the Demon Race in Celestial River City. Can the He Clan Battle Zone succeed in this battle?"
"The He Clan is preparing to avenge the Demon-controlling Race by striking at the Demon Race in Celestial River City."
On the forums of the major battle zones around the world, these messages quickly became hot topics, as fast as lightning.
Accompanying this news, more and more trending posts followed:
"Shocking! The ’Brahma Heaven Emperor’ from the Indonesia War Zone has declared full support for the He Clan Battle Zone in retaking Celestial River City two days later."
"Unbelievable! Cui Dongxu from the Goryeo War Zone is willing to send 10,000 elites to help seize the city."
"Explosive News!!! ’Satan J’ from the United States War Zone has, for the first time in recent months, publicly declared support for the He Clan in retaking Celestial River City."
...
"I’m sorry to tell everyone a fact."
Shuai Diao Zha said to everyone:
"With our strength, we simply can’t enter the interior of Celestial River City."
In a virtual meeting room, Shuai Diao Zha suddenly opened a projection, showing a 3D aerial view of Celestial River City.
Then Shuai Diao Zha pointed to the outskirts of Celestial River City and said:
"Let’s not talk about anything else."
"Right now, the entire Celestial River City is tightly surrounded by the Demon Race."
"They should also be aware of the importance of Celestial River City to their Demon Race now."
"And the lowest level of the Demon Race guarding the outskirts are of the Demon General Level, at least Lv60."
"With our strength, breaking through the outskirts would be easy, but..."
Shuai Diao Zha said gravely:
"Celestial River City is so big, we don’t even know Isabelle’s exact location."
Then Shuai Diao Zha pointed at several red circles on the aerial view of Celestial River City:
"The marked points are places Isabelle might be based on past data of Celestial River City."
At this moment, Tian Ci slammed the table and said:
"Leave this to me, I’ll resolve it."
Suddenly, Shi Yu spoke up:
"Red Eyes should also go."
Just about to stand and express, Red Eyes agreed and said:
"Alright."
But Shi Yu followed up with:
"Act separately, don’t go together."
"Additionally, Zhan Chen and Yuna should also go."
Zhan Chen and Yuna were stunned, Shi Yu explained:
"You two are responsible for creating chaos from a distance, distracting the Demon Race."
Both quickly understood Shi Yu’s meaning, standing up to express:
"Okay."
"Sure."
At this moment, Mingmen Yue’Er said:
"I’ll go too."
"I’ve already reached the Fifth Transformation, and if we encounter danger, I can use spatial teleportation to help them escape."
Shi Yu responded with "Hmm":
"I was just about to say that."
"This time, go as a group of five, focus on reconnaissance, and don’t act impulsively."
"Try not to alert the He Clan to avoid their suspicion and targeting."
Tian Ci assured:
"Rest assured, we will act with discretion."
The five exchanged glances, then a flash of white light enveloped them, and they disappeared from the virtual meeting room.
After they vanished, Shuai Diao Zha continued:
"Now that Feng Lao Da is absent, and Jing Jie is also missing."
"The chances of successfully rescuing Isabelle by ourselves are very slim."
Then Shuai Diao Zha explained his plan:
"Ensuring Isabelle’s safety, I wonder if we could utilize the He Clan’s opportunity in their city siege to rescue Isabelle amidst the chaos."
But just as he said this, Shuai Diao Zha paused and said:
"Wait a minute!"
"A friend is about to enter; let’s discuss our matters later."
At this moment, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the virtual meeting room, and Xiao He looked in surprise at the familiar ’old friend’ with blonde hair and blue eyes and said:
"Emperor Pu?!"
