The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

In the guest room of the inn, Li Muyang kept entering the game, only to be repeatedly ejected from it.

The number of failures was so high that he was almost numb to it.

Now the speed at which he exited and re-entered the game was astonishingly fast.

But Red Ridge Mountain was still a great distance away.

Countless Evil Gods wandered in the dark land.

Each time Li Muyang traveled a certain distance, a bizarre Evil God would emerge.

These Evil Gods didn't intentionally block Li Muyang's path; they were simply wandering in the darkness and happened to be encountered by him.

Li Muyang gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of this dark land.

The appearance of these Evil Gods was just too frequent.

No wonder the system recommended the Nameless character card. Who else would possess the ability to instantly kill Evil Gods?

Li Muyang advanced continuously in the darkness, his Sword Qi constantly tearing apart the darkness and slaying Evil Gods.

However, the problem was that each Evil God could easily kill Li Muyang in an instant.

But Li Muyang's instant death ability with his flying sword had a 50% chance of failure.

And that was a 50% chance each time he launched the flying sword; there was no guarantee of it triggering.

If he encountered a streak of bad luck, it could very well fail to trigger several times in a row.

If the instant death rate failed to trigger, both Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden would be killed instantly by an Evil God.

And even if he did trigger an instant death, sometimes the Evil God's abilities were so terrifying that it could take Li Muyang down with it before dying.

There were even Evil Gods that his instant death flying sword couldn't deal with, such as those with multiple lives or the ability to resurrect after death; Li Muyang could only avoid them.

Through continuous dying, saving, and retrying, Li Muyang struggled throughout the entire day.

By relying on saving, he forced his way through the darkness and ultimately used "instant kill" to defeat twenty-seven Evil Gods.

It was truly a remarkable feat.

Yet the journey to Red Ridge Mountain was still long.

When Li Muyang had slain more than thirty Evil Gods, a chilling wind suddenly swept across the dark land.

Soon after, the dark sky violently tore open, and blood-red light scattered across the land.

Everyone standing on this land looked up to see the darkness above them splitting open, a massive blood-red eye writhing as it stared at Li Muyang.

Under the gaze of that immensely magnified pupil, Li Muyang instinctively felt ice cold all over.

[You have died, game over.]

"...That bizarre eye is here too?"

Li Muyang muttered to himself.

In the third stage of "Deadly Wild Grass," a giant blood-red eye would open in the night sky over the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

If one flew, they would be instantly killed by that eye.

However, in the Ancient Grudge Well, neither Li Muyang nor the Glass Immortal Maiden had flown, and yet they were still instantly killed by the eye.

Li Muyang tried to load his save again, only to discover that when the number of Evil Gods he killed reached around thirty, the dark sky would tear open, and the bizarre eye would descend.

After being killed instantly several times in a row, Li Muyang finally realized something.

"Am I following the wrong path?"

This brute-force method of pushing through just wouldn't work.

Perhaps this dark land was never meant to be crossed?

After all, any wandering Evil God was more than capable of slaying Li Muyang.

If it hadn't been for the cheat-like skill, Instant-Death Flying Sword, Li Muyang wouldn't have been able to overcome even the first Evil God.

Although he had killed more than twenty Evil Gods by relying on the cheat skill, once the number of Evil Gods' deaths exceeded thirty, it would immediately attract the attention of the massive eyeball in the sky.

That massive eyeball was untargetable, untouchable, and Li Muyang's Instant-Death Flying Sword was ineffective against it.

Li Muyang pondered and after entering the game again, he did not continue killing Evil Gods.

Instead, he ran back along the same path he came with the Glass Immortal Maiden.

By now, they had gone far from the initial small village, and there would be more Evil Gods to encounter on the way back.

However, Li Muyang remembered that there was a small town nearby, and when they had passed by earlier, he had vaguely seen some lights.

Li Muyang, accompanied by the Glass Immortal Maiden, went directly into the small town only to discover an eerie silence within, with every household deep in sleep.

Despite the bizarre Evil Gods roaming the wilderness, these townspeople were asleep without any awareness.

Inside the fenced courtyards, cats and dogs, pigs in the pigpens, and cows in the barns... all these domestic animals were completely quiet, making no noise at all.

And not a single Evil God approached the small town.

Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden stood in the town for a long time, occasionally saw a streak of red health bars flashing by in the wilderness outside the town.

"...It seems we should have listened to the old village chief, resting at night and traveling by day,"

Li Muyang murmured softly, sharing his discovery with the Glass Immortal Maiden.

The old village chief's words about staying overnight and not traveling at night were like a guiding light!

As long as they didn't leave the villages or towns at night, there was no danger at all.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Glass Immortal Maiden also realized that the town was a safe zone, with the Evil Gods roaming the wilderness not approaching these townspeople.

A look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"But why don't the Evil Gods approach these villages and towns? Could these villagers have some marvelous quality?"

This was a question neither of them understood.

Why were there so many Evil Gods wandering in the wilderness, yet they specifically avoided places where living people gathered?

Were the living beings in this cursed well truly living beings?

Li Muyang tested it by casting Annihilation Wheel on a sleeping couple.

In the darkness, a flash of blue light disappeared, but this time, the Annihilation Wheel failed to instantly kill the couple.

Because the moment it got close, the couple on the bed that had been sleeping soundly suddenly jumped up, their bodies undergoing a bizarre transformation, turning into two grotesque and ferocious monsters.

They roared and screeched, launching an attack on Li Muyang. The health bars above their heads switched from the neutral creatures' pale yellow to a threatening blood red.

With a swing of her sword, the Glass Immortal Maiden unleashed a Sword Qi several tens of feet wide, instantly reducing both monsters and the houses to ash.

In the darkness, the two exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"The whole town is filled with monsters?" The Glass Immortal Maiden was somewhat shocked, yet also felt it was expected.

After all, what else could exist in a world with Evil Gods if not monsters?

Li Muyang was stunned by something else – during the day, he had tested the villagers with the Annihilation Wheel, and it had killed them effortlessly without any of them transforming.

But at night, attacking these same villagers caused them to become monsters?

Or was the previous village normal and this entire town was filled with monsters?

Li Muyang was still pondering when the quiet town suddenly became restless.

The commotion from fighting the monsters seemed to have awakened the entire town's residents.

One after another, horrific figures leaped out of the darkness; all of these peaceful and sleeping townspeople roared as they pounced toward Li Muyang and the Glass Immortal Maiden.

Beneath the ghostly blue light of the Annihilation Wheel, a tide of blood-red health bars surged over them, quickly engulfing all light in the darkness.
