Chapter 108 - Night in the Catacombs

Chapter 108: Night in the Catacombs

The more anxious Li Yuanqing was, the more he could not find the hiding place he wanted.

The sky was about to turn dark.

Li Yuanqing quickly made a decision. He would stop searching and quickly dig a hole or a cave to use it to get through the night.

This place was filled with stones and loess. It reminded him of the Loess Plateau in his previous life, where there were caves. He also needed a similar place to hide. Then, he would study the voice transmission device and see how others spend their nights.

Let’s see what terrifying things will appear in the catacombs at night.

Li Yuanqing quickly chose a small hill. There, he used hundreds of Demon Slayer Swords to quickly dig holes in the mountain, considering the danger at night. He dug the cave very deep, a hundred meters deep. If it wasn’t dark, he would have continued digging. Because the deeper one went, the safer it was.

Li Yuanqing was a little tired after digging so deep, but he still felt that it was better to be cautious. He went to find another especially huge rock. He used his strength to block the huge stone that was like a house at the entrance of the cave. He entered the cave when it was dark.

When he entered the cave, Li Yuanqing saw that the catacomb, which was shrouded in darkness, was covered in fog. He could barely see his fingers. Moreover, his strength seemed to be weakening in the fog. A huge rock the size of a house was as easy to manipulate as a toy for a Spirit Transformation Realm Human God like him. However, in the fog, he spent a lot of effort and finally blocked the hole with rocks. Then, he even broke out in a sweat.

This was very rare for Li Yuanqing. It had been a long time since he felt tired.

The cave was more than a hundred meters wide and was very spacious. Li Yuanqing made a stone bed for himself and even dug a pool for himself. Then, he took out a bubble bath from his domain and took out his voice transmission device.

A lot of people were talking inside.

“Water, water. Anyone who has water can exchange anything with me for a cup of water. Just click on the voice transmission device and my number! I have food and roasted meat here. There are brand new quilts, pets, seeds, vats, and so on…”

“Exchange, exchange. I’m willing to take out a cultivation technique book I obtained in the Catacombs to exchange for water. I just need a jar of water! Hurry, hurry!”

“There are voices outside. It’s terrible. My house, my house is going to be smashed through by those terrible things!”

“Help, someone save me. I can give him everything I have. Cultivation techniques, Dharma treasures, and the ores I dug up!”

…

From this voice transmission, Li Yuanqing could sense that there were a lot of people in the Catacombs. There were at least five digits of humans like him who had a voice transmission when they entered the Catacombs.

Back then, Qin Feng said that he had obtained this voice transmission from a demon. Now, Li Yuanqing wondered if this demon had obtained it from the humans who had entered the catacombs.

Moreover, this voice transmission opened another world for Li Yuanqing.

It was very dangerous in the catacomb. Night was even more dangerous than day, and water was more popular than food. They would also encounter countless dangers. The resources here become extremely sought after here.

Now that he thought about it, the water source he obtained from signing in was much more important than any cultivation technique or food.

Li Yuanqing was also trying to use voice transmission to exchange items. He followed the messages left by others and clicked on the number on the profile picture. Then, he saw some things that could be exchanged.

For example, someone was selling brand new quilts for a pot of water.

Li Yuanqing tried to trade once. After he pressed the confirmation button, he felt a snow-white blanket appear on his stone bed in just a few seconds.?That amazing? This voice transmission was a treasure? Not bad, not bad!

Li Yuanqing was a little happy. He had received a lot of water from signing in. A small pot of water was nothing to a river.

Soon, Li Yuanqing grasped this transaction method and began to look for people who needed water on this voice transmission device. He began to tap their serial numbers and he traded for what he had wanted.

There was a large water tank, a set of comfortable tables and chairs, and even a few stools. The stools were carved well and had complicated patterns on them. They looked very beautiful.

Li Yuanqing touched the table and chairs. They were thick and felt especially comfortable. Furthermore, the wood patterns were exquisite and smooth. One look and he could tell that the material was especially good.

He also exchanged for a sharp saber. He mainly wanted to see what the people on the voice transmission had taken out to trade and the quality of the items. That saber was rather sharp. Although it was not comparable to his Demon Slayer Sword, it was not an ordinary item.

It seemed like the people trading on this voice transmission device were about the same as him. At the very least, they were some outstanding people from various countries who had come to the Catacombs. However, they were all trapped here now. It was an extravagant hope to leave successfully.

Li Yuanqing used water for every transaction. Coupled with his number was 00001, many people shouted through the voice transmission.

“Who knows who number 00001 is? He has a water source, a real clean water source! You can look for him if you need water. I used a blanket to exchange for a pot of water just now. I made a killing…”

“A big shot is here. This big shot 00001 is really low-key. Why hasn’t he appeared yet? However, he has the water source that we lack the most…”

…

Li Yuanqing quickly figured out that the 00001 that these people were talking about was him, and water seemed to be something very rare here.

Water source was abundant to him. He might as well change some things on the voice transmission device. For example, the food in the Catacombs, seeds, and even some pets.

However, those pets needed to eat, drink, and be taken care of. Li Yuanqing found it troublesome, so he exchanged a pot of water for a few large pieces of meat and a large plate of red fruits.

Li Yuanqing had never seen that fruit before. He tasted it and it was sweet and sour. It was refreshing and tasted good.

No wonder the person who took the initiative to exchange with him kept mentioning that his fruits were delicious. If not for the fact that he lacked water and really did not have any water, he would not be willing to take out his precious fruits to exchange with Li Yuanqing.

That was because fruits were much more precious than food in the catacombs.

This fruit was indeed delicious.

Li Yuanqing took a look at the meat. It was cooked and smelled a little fragrant. He used a knife to cut it open. After taking a bath, he lay on the chair and ate the fruits and meat. He casually flipped through the messages on the voice transmission device.

There was a whirring sound in his ears, and something even hit him heavily. The hole that Li Yuanqing had specially dug almost shook. There was also the sound of claws scratching on rocks outside the door. The sound was very loud. Even from afar, Li Yuanqing could hear it clearly.

Moreover, there were waves of howls outside the cave. Those cries made one’s scalp tingle. This was something that had never happened to Li Yuanqing, who had already entered the Spirit Transformation realm.

Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators were known as Human Gods in the human world. However, in this catacomb, it seemed like he had encountered some unknown things that were abnormally terrifying. These unknown things were definitely not weak.

It might even be more powerful than the Spirit Transformation Realm. No wonder so many people were calling for help on the voice transmission device.

Thinking about it, those martial artists who could enter the catacombs were definitely not bad. But even so, they still called for help on the voice transmission device.

One could imagine how harsh the living environment in the Catacombs was.

No wonder those demons want to go to the human world. The Catacombs is indeed very bad. I hope I can stay here for a longer time. Or perhaps I can leave after I figure out the situation here and sign in for more things?

Li Yuanqing took a bite of the red fruit and calculated in his heart.

After coming to the Catacombs, what he wanted the most was a domain fragment or something unique to the Catacombs.

After signing in for so many years, Li Yuanqing realized that signing in at different places gave him all kinds of things. However, the more difficult and unique a place was, the more useful or rare the items obtained from signing in.

For example, the things he had obtained from signing in at the Yufu Mountain and the things he had obtained from entering the entrance of the catacomb were quite rare for him.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing planned to stay in the Catacombs and continue signing in. He wanted to see what he could obtain.

The sound of something grabbing rocks outside became louder and louder. The rustling sound seemed to ring in Li Yuanqing’s ears. Moreover, there would be vibrations from time to time. If not for his cautious personality, he wouldn’t have dug an especially deep and strong cave.

Otherwise, something would have long pierced through this cave and something must have rushed in at night.

At this moment, Li Yuanqing did not plan to go out since he had yet to figure out the situation outside. He planned to wait for this night and go out tomorrow morning.

At the very least, he had to figure out what the terrifying thing in the dark night was and how strong were the dangerous things here. He would only walk out of this cave after figuring this out.

There was a lot of information in the voice transmission device. Li Yuanqing, who was sitting there, ate a mouthful of fruit and meat and read the news comfortably.

Hu Jiujiu also took a bite of the meat, but she was a little disgusted. She seemed to think that the meat did not taste good. She jumped onto the table and grabbed a fruit. When she took a bite, juice splattered everywhere. She ate with relish. This little thing was as picky as him.

“Oh no, my cabin is broken. It’s so dark outside. I, save…”

A person with the number 00011 had just sent this message when his profile picture dimmed. This stunned Li Yuanqing, who was eating fruits. However, he immediately realized that the martial artist whose wooden hut was broken was probably dead.

Only a dead person’s portrait would dim.

“00011 is finished. He must have been swallowed by that thing. I really regret coming to the Catacombs. I was a pioneer in the human world, but I didn’t enjoy my life there. I have been afraid everyday since I came here and didn’t even have water…”

“Let’s live first. We discovered that we can’t get out of the catacombs’ exit. It seems like we need something before we can go back.”

“I’ve been tricked. No wonder the demons want to leave this place. This is hell. Where I used to be is heaven!”

…

Such words that were filled with countless information made Li Yuanqing fall into deep thought. He originally wanted to enter the catacombs and sign in.

No matter what, there were many benefits. Even if it was dangerous here and he could not withstand it, he could return the way he came.

In any case, the exit of Catacomb No. 2 was in the Northern Kingdom.

There was still a way out for him. However, Li Yuanqing had a bad feeling when he saw the message on the voice transmission. It was very likely that he could not leave from the entrance of the catacombs. He and these people had accidentally entered the catacombs.

In the end, their avatars and numbers would probably dim.

And this voice transmission. It was so magical. There was even a serial number on it. Where did it come from?

It seemed like there were secrets hidden in the catacomb.

After sitting on the chair for a while, Li Yuanqing felt that it was not comfortable enough and decided to lie on the bed. He covered himself with a clean blanket and swiped the voice transmission device comfortably.

After Hu Jiujiu finished eating the fruit, she licked her lips and looked at the bed and the chair. She seemed to be hesitating. Should she go and squeeze into the warm bed or roll into a chair?

“It’s cold. Who’s got firewood? Who’s got a water source? Why isn’t this damned night over?”

“I’m starving to death and freezing to death. What kind of hell is this catacomb? Why do I feel cold? What a strange place…”

“Water, Big Boss 00001, can you give me some water? Please…”

Li Yuanqing realized that someone was sending him a private message, begging him to give him some water to save his life. He even said that he had not drunk any water for three days and was on the verge of death.

Li Yuanqing looked at the voice transmission device and quickly sent a message.

“If you want water, exchange it with something!”

Although he had a lot of water, he was not stupid enough to give away something for free in this catacomb that he had not even figured out. If a person who was really dying of thirst really had water, he would take out everything he had in exchange.

“I have spirit stones and a cultivation technique. Can I exchange them for ten bottles of water?”

Soon, there was news from the other side.

Ten bottles of water was a piece of cake for Li Yuanqing. He was a little surprised about the spirit stones and cultivation techniques.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he clicked agree. Soon, two items appeared on the table in the cave.

There was a book and a warm stone that was the size of an egg.

However, Li Yuanqing could feel the surging spiritual energy in the spirit stone with a single glance. It was just like the aura of recovery in the mortal world after the blood rain, but it was countless times richer. This should be the stone that locks the spiritual energy.

It was also a cultivator’s favorite thing.

After Li Yuanqing entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, although he could use spirit stones, his strength came from signing in. He thought for a moment and threw the spirit stones into his domain.

In the domain, he was the king and had absolute control. Therefore, he would throw anything good into the domain.

However, the moment he threw the spirit stone in, something unexpected happened.
