Translator: 549690339
Not afraid of the seven Asuras?
The old turtle showed a half-smile and said, ” “I hope you can still say such words in the future.”
“Senior, how can I leave this place? Also, who is the owner of this place?” Li xiaonian asked the two most crucial questions.
“Leave?”
The old turtle’s face was bitter. I’ve been in the sanctuary for more than 100 years. I’ve never heard of anyone leaving. Not to mention this old man, even those powerhouses who have been struggling at death’s door for hundreds of years can’t leave. The black liquid that you were soaked in before is actually a type of soul poison. Once you leave this place, you will immediately turn into ashes.”
the so-called death is not only the death of the projection, but also the death of the main body, ” the old turtle said seriously. so, don’t even think about running away.
Li xiaonian’s face turned pale.
For the first time, he felt what fear was.
He had been calm before because he thought that death was nothing more than the first death in the game.
But now, if he died here, the real world would also be affected. This news was simply a nightmare.
I can’t die, I definitely can’t die. If I die, my family will definitely not be able to survive the crisis on earth.
“If I die and Xuewu can’t wait for me, won’t I be alone for the rest of my life?”
The old turtle could see li xiaonian’s fear, but he still continued, ” as for the owner of the sanctuary, to be honest, no one knows. Everything is a mystery. All the commands were issued by the statue. We can only follow the statue’s instructions and obediently listen to the orders. Those who disobey will have the soul poison act up and turn into ashes. Countless geniuses have died here. I hope you don’t follow in your footsteps. No one can say for sure if all of us will be free someday. In short, there’s only hope if you’re alive.”
“Thank you,” he said. Li xiaonian said with a heavy heart.
The old turtle patted li xiaonian’s shoulder. let’s go. I’ll take you to get the newcomer’s benefit. Here, every minute and second is precious. You’re now an elite and have three months. If you can’t become a Sage-to-be in three months, you’ll become a slave and have every drop of power squeezed out of you.
Li xiaonian silently followed the old turtle.
On the way, the old turtle explained everything about the shelter to li xiaonian.
The old turtle pointed at a square attic and said, ” this building is a training room. The training room has a time acceleration of 10 to 20 times. It is a place that every citizen needs and likes to stay the most. Everyone has three days of free use every month. You are a newcomer, so there is no time limit for a month.
After walking for some distance.
A blacksmith’s workshop appeared. In the workshop, everyone’s eyes were dazed as they mechanically swung their iron hammers, striking and tempering iron blocks with all their might.
this is the weapon Pavilion. You can see the people inside. They all have a red mark on their foreheads, which is the mark of a slave. Don’t be fooled by their weak looks, there were many Saint level slaves among them. In another three months, if I still can’t break through, perhaps I’ll become one of them and beat iron without rest. They’re considered lucky. The unlucky ones have their energy continuously extracted every day until they die.”
After walking around.
Li xiaonian discovered that the sanctuary did not take up a large area, but it had all the basic infrastructure needed.
In the end, the old turtle stopped at the door of a warehouse. There was a vending machine at the door.
“We’re here. This is the place for newbies to receive their benefits. You’re now an elite-grade, so you can receive 1 Saint pill and 30 Energy Pills every month. Saint pills were similar to Saint orbs, but they could absorb energy more easily than Saint orbs. Once a Saint pill was refined, it would be enough for one to become a quasi-Saint. As for the energy pill, it was a food exclusive to the sanctuary. There’s soul poison in our bodies, so we can’t eat regular food. If you don’t believe me, you can try it now.”
Li xiaonian frowned. He took out an energy drink from his crape myrtle Star Ring and gulped it down.
Gulp ~ gulp ~
The originally sweet and cool energy drink had just entered his throat.
Pfff ~~
Li xiaonian spat out his saliva.
“Cough, cough, cough ...”
Li xiaonian coughed non-stop. Even with his strongest physique, he still coughed so hard that tears were streaming down his face. He was almost suffocated.
A stench, an indescribable stench filled his nerves. Not only that, but his body was also twitching violently.
This kind of twitching was countless times more intense than being cut by a thousand blades.
After a while, li xiaonian finally came back to his senses and said with an ugly expression,””Why?”
The old turtle shrugged. I don’t know why either. Perhaps this is a special method the fallout shelter used to control us. As long as the statue is willing, our sense of smell and pain will be magnified infinitely, making us wish we were dead. No one could withstand more than a day of torture. if we become blood food, our souls will be taken away and we will suffer more pain than you just now. We will suffer day and night and will never be able to escape. This is also why everyone is afraid of becoming food.”
Under the old turtle’s guidance, li xiaonian went to a vending machine and received a newcomer benefit.
It was an earth element Saint pill the size of an egg.
As for the energy pill, it was purplish black and only the size of a fingernail. It gave off an alluring fragrance, and anyone who saw it couldn’t help but swallow it.
your profession is a combat doctor. I watched your battle with rabid dog just now. You lack long-range attacks. During this time, you should try to improve. Otherwise, even if rabid dog suppresses his strength to your level, you will not be his opponent.
“During this period of time, you can try your best to improve your strength. There will be an assessment every month, and the three people who improve the slowest will directly become blood food. I wish you good luck.”
The old turtle waved his hand and left.
Li xiaonian clenched his fists and silently retraced his steps, entering the 10x time-accelerated cultivation room.
In the sealed cultivation room.
Li xiaonian took out the Saint pill, his face dark and uncertain.
“I’ll improve my strength first. When I have free time, I’ll slowly find a way out.”
Li xiaonian was just about to put the pill into his mouth.
“I ... Don’t ... Want ... To ... Eat.”
Tong Tong’s weak voice sounded intermittently.
“Tong Tong?”
Li xiaonian shouted in excitement.
Unfortunately, there was no response after Tong Tong said that.
Li xiaonian gave up on swallowing the Saint orb. He closed his eyes and immersed his divine sense into his sea of consciousness.
Weng ~
Li xiaonian was sent flying by a vast force. At this moment, he couldn’t enter his sea of consciousness to check on Tong Tong’s condition.
His soul had suffered an inexplicable injury.
Pfff ~~
Li xiaonian spat out a mouthful of blood. He was in low spirits, and his face was frighteningly pale.
“What I saw just now was a divine soul confinement? Or could it be the soul poison in my body?”
Just a moment ago, he had only seen a beam of black light. After being sent flying by the black light, he could not see anything else.
“What’s going on?”
Li xiaonian’s face was gloomy and uncertain.
Tong Tong seemed to be in great pain, which made him very anxious.
Li xiaonian lowered his head to look at the gray Saint pill and the purple energy pill. He resisted the urge to put all these items into the crape myrtle Star Ring and took out his spare Saint orb.
Tong Tong risked danger to warn us. It’s obvious that the Saint pills and energy Pills aren’t really good things.
“In the current situation, it seems that no one’s words can be trusted,”
Li xiaonian thought quickly.
After a long time, he closed his eyes and continued to absorb the power of the Saint orb.
It would be a waste not to use the 10x accelerated cultivation room. He could take advantage of this time to see if he could wait for Tong Tong to resolve the crisis in her spiritual sea.
This cultivation.
Li xiaonian continued for ten days and ten nights.
In the 10 days and 10 nights, the power of the Saint orb decreased again, while his power increased again.
Gulp ~~
He felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach. He had never experienced this kind of hunger before.
He took out a can of energy drink from the crape myrtle Star Ring. Staring at the energy drink, disgust surged up his throat again.
Li xiaonian closed his eyes and opened the lid.
Gulp ~ gulp ~
He took two big gulps of the drink.
Puchi ~
The strong stench and the twitching of his body caused li xiaonian to uncontrollably spit out the drink. His body twitched violently again, and this time, it was extremely violent.
After half an hour.
Li xiaonian panted with a pale face and clenched his fists. “Am I going to starve to death?”
After swallowing two mouthfuls of the drink, he spat out most of it, but there was still some left in his stomach. Even so, li xiaonian felt even more hungry.
“Offline, yes, exiting clone mode.”
In order to avoid the torture of hunger, li xiaonian forced himself to calm down and continued to operate his cultivation technique with his eyes closed.
Ding ...
“You have exited clone mode,” the system said.
He opened the gaming chamber.
“Phew ...”
Without the torture of hunger, li xiaonian seemed to have come back to life. He took a deep breath.
Suddenly, li xiaonian seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up. Oh right, others might not know, but perhaps the BOSS behind the virtual company knows about my situation.
Li xiaonian immediately took out his phone and dialed the virtual company’s service line again.
What surprised him was that this time, it was not the waiter who answered the phone, but the mysterious expert who had contacted him last time.
“What’s the matter?” Chi Yun frowned.
“Um ... I seem to have run into a huge problem.” Li xiaonian explained everything about the fallout shelter in detail. do you know what kind of place that strange Fallout Shelter is? ”
Chi Yun was shocked. He then fell into deep thought and looked up at the starry sky, waiting for his master’s reply.
The master and disciple communicated.
Li xiaonian waited for a few minutes, but he didn’t get a response. He asked nervously, ” “Senior, you ... You don’t know either?”
I’ve already asked my master, ” Chi Yun said calmly. he said you’re very lucky. If you swallow a Saint pill or an energy pill, you’ll step into the abyss.
After a pause, Chi Yun added, ” I’m leaving now. I’m heading to the heaven domain battlefield. I’m going to check out the mysterious sanctuary you mentioned. If I’m not wrong, the people controlling the statues in the sanctuary should be the remnants of the comet. Back then, master killed many of them, but some of them escaped and disappeared.”
The remnants of the comet? No wonder.
Even Tong Tong herself was unable to deal with the remnants of the comet.
senior, ” li xiaonian suddenly said in a hurry, ” I’m constantly being tortured by hunger in the sanctuary. What should I do to avoid hunger? ”
Chi Yun said,”the reason why I feel hungry is because I’m hungry. It’s because your soul is under the influence of a special charm, and this influence causes the body to react instinctively. Such a reaction would make one thin and weak, or even starve to death, unless one reached the level of a top Saint and could cut off the perception. Otherwise, there was no way to deal with it. The only thing you can do now is to endure the suffering. If you can’t even pass this test, then you’ll be like this.”
“Twenty days. I will arrive at the heaven domain battlefield in twenty days. You will have to rely on yourself to survive this. Also, I have to remind you that even if you leave the heaven domain battlefield, your clone won’t be able to handle the extreme hunger and will swallow Saint pills or Energy Pills. So, you’d better stay in the heaven domain battlefield at all times.”
that’s all I have to say. Whether you can survive or not depends on whether you can get through it.
Beep, beep, beep ...
The communication was cut off.
Li xiaonian didn’t look happy at all. On the contrary, his face was full of worry.
It had only been ten days, and the hunger was already so intense. He didn’t know if he could endure another twenty days or even longer.
In order to avoid any accidents.
Li xiaonian hurriedly returned to the heaven domain battlefield.
Ding ...
The system replied,[you have entered the clone state.]
Gulp ~~
The intense hunger once again attacked li xiaonian’s nerves. This kind of hunger caused his body to go soft, as if he would faint at any time.
damn it, I shouldn’t have stayed in the 10x cultivation room. The longer I stay here, the more hungry I’ll be.
Li xiaonian endured his hunger and left the tenfold cultivation room.
On the streets, people came and went, some were numb, some were in a hurry.
In order to pass the time, li xiaonian wandered around the castle in the sanctuary, looking here and there.
Han Linhai, who was fighting like a rabid dog.
There were a lot of people here, and they were all very powerful. The lowest level was a quasi-Sage, and every battle was difficult.
Everyone’s time was very precious, and not many people were willing to waste their time to watch. It could be said that there were very few people.
Li xiaonian looked at it for a while, but he couldn’t continue due to his intense hunger.
no, I have to think of a way to alleviate my hunger. I still have to wait for 20 days. With my current condition, I can’t hold on any longer.
Li xiaonian found a remote corner with no one around.
He took out his drink.
Gulp ... Gulp ...
He gulped down the drink in big mouthfuls.
Puchi ~
After a few mouthfuls, he spurted out his saliva and fell to the ground twitching again. The intense pain caused li xiaonian’s eyes to turn blood red.
“I can’t die.”
Li xiaonian’s face turned ferocious as he gulped down the drink again.
Every time he drank a few mouthfuls, li xiaonian would spit it out and then fall to the ground twitching.
Li xiaonian repeated the same situation over and over again.
He thought that he would be able to endure it, but a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Energy Pills. As long as he swallowed the energy Pills, he would not have to suffer such bitter torture.
He wouldn’t die anyway.
Li xiaonian’s face turned even paler when this thought appeared in his mind.
In order to prevent himself from having the same thought again, li xiaonian took out the Saint pills and energy Pills, closed his eyes, and threw them toward the street in the distance.
This swing seemed to drain all of his strength, and his mood became much more relaxed.
there’s no way out. I can only suffer now. I hope I can make it.
Gulp ~
The hunger came again.
On the street ahead.
When the people saw the Saint pills and energy Pills, they were shocked at first, then they rushed forward.
“The Saint pill is mine.”
“Stop! I’ll kill you all if you dare to touch my things!”
“Pipa ~ boom ~”
For the sake of snatching, the originally peaceful Street suddenly became a battlefield.
One of the young men grabbed an energy pill and quickly hid, afraid that he would be discovered.
hehe, I picked up an energy pill. I made a small profit.
The young man smiled proudly.
Suddenly ~
A burly red-haired man in iron armor appeared.
The red-haired man grabbed the young man’s neck and said in a hoarse voice,””Speak, what happened?”
When the young man saw the red-haired man, his face paled and he shivered, ” “Red ... Red fiend?” Recalling how terrifying the red fiend was, the young man hurriedly handed the energy pill to him. “Here ... Here you go.”
“En!”
answer me! Hong Mo’s face turned cold. answer my question.
