Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 57 Carelessness

You have to know that these people are not ordinary people. They each have their own methods. Moreover, they dare to announce Li Feng’s bounty and come here to eliminate ghosts. They must have certain strength.

But it is precisely this group of people, more than a dozen of them have been wiped out?

How could Li Zhi not be frightened? He couldn't help but take a breath. He suddenly realized that he might have greatly underestimated the danger of this place, and the danger level of this den of evil in his heart was raised to the highest level.

While Li Zhi was still thinking about something, Fang Jie on the other side couldn't help but ask, "What on earth did you encounter?"

The man with the sallow face did not say anything. He just shook his head and said, "It's almost time. You will know then."

Fang Jie didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, but just said to the people present: "We are all in the same boat now, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

An old woman leaning on a cane said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, in this damn place, one person dies today and another dies tomorrow. Is it necessary to introduce yourself?"

Fang Jie's complexion had recovered by now, just like when Li Zhi first saw him. He had a smile on his face and said cheerfully, "It is precisely because this place is strange and dangerous that it is necessary for everyone to learn about it. After all, if you really encounter danger, these people here may very likely be your rescue."

The old woman sneered and said, "How do you know that these people are giving you a helping hand instead of kicking you when you're down?"

Fang Jie didn't care at all. He pointed at the people present and said, "There are twelve people here besides me. If one of them is willing to lend me a hand, I won't lose anything."

Li Zhi listened to what Fang Jie said and glanced at the people present. He saw that some of them were thinking with their heads down, some had sarcastic expressions, and some were disdainful.

"This brother is right. My name is Chen Fan. If you are in danger, just call me. I will do my best to help you!"

A burly man walked out with a big knife on his waist. He spoke in a seemingly generous manner.

With Chen Fan taking the lead, others gradually gave their names. However, these people, including Li Zhidu, only gave their names and did not make any promises.

Fang Jie didn't care, but the burly Chen Fan seemed a little dissatisfied. He frowned and muttered something in a low voice.

Li Zhi looked at the man with a sallow face named Wang Qi and asked, "What did you mean when you said it was about time?"

"It's rule time!"

Before Wang Qi could say anything, a voice sounded before him.

Li Zhi looked in the direction of the voice and found it was actually the leader of Shushan. According to his introduction, his name was Li Yuqing.

Shushan disciple Li Yuqing stepped forward. He continued, "The rules of this ghost den seem to have a cooling period, which is triggered once every fifteen days. Now is the fifteenth day. You are lucky. The rules are triggered at night. If you arrive later and happen to run into the rules of the ghost den, you will probably be wiped out on the spot."

Li Zhi's pupils shrank when he heard this. He naturally understood the danger. Fortunately, he was lucky, otherwise if he really came in and ran into the rules of the ghost den and was directly wiped out, it would be a really miserable death.

"What are the rules of this ghost den?"

Although Fang Jie had asked this question just now, he did not receive a reply. At this moment, Li Zhi could not help but ask again.

When Li Yuqing heard Li Zhi's question and was about to say something, the whole hall suddenly shook, as if there was an earthquake. Everyone's face changed, and Li Zhi also clearly felt a powerful energy wave spreading rapidly.

Then, the entire hall seemed to be covered with a layer of red mist. This red mist gradually spread to the entire Li Mansion, enveloping everything in it, making the originally bright environment become dim, hazy and weird.

Li Zhi suddenly looked towards Li Yuqing. It was his first time encountering a den of evil spirits and he had no idea what would happen. At this time, instead of running around like a headless fly, it would be safer to follow a strong person. He just had to be careful not to be sold out.

Li Yuqing noticed that Li Zhi was looking at him, so he looked back at Li Zhi and said softly, "Here I come!"

Li Zhi keenly noticed that Li Yuqing's voice unexpectedly revealed a hint of nervousness, which meant that even this Shushan disciple was afraid of this evil spirit. This made Li Zhi feel even more solemn, and his heart tightened.

Suddenly, the red mist rolled violently, as if it was being stirred by an invisible and huge hand.

When the red mist brushed past Li Zhi, he was startled. He thought that this strange red mist would be harmful, but when he saw that everyone else had serious expressions but stood still without dodging, allowing the red mist to brush past, he was convinced that the red mist was harmless and he finally felt relieved.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an incense stick of time, the red mist gradually dissipated.

When the red fog completely dissipated, Li Zhi's vision returned to normal. He looked up and saw that the hall in front of him seemed to be the same as before, with no changes.

But Li Zhi always felt that something was wrong. When he looked at other people, he finally knew what was wrong. Each of them was wrapped in a layer of light red mist.

Li Zhi quickly looked at himself and found that he was also covered by a layer of mist, but he did not sense any dangerous aura from it.

"This layer of red fog can save your life. Remember not to let it disappear." Wang Qi, who was standing by, saw Li Zhi's expression and seemed to have guessed what Li Zhi was thinking, so he spoke.

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, and secretly paid attention to the thin layer of mist on his body. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't be careless.

"What are we going to do next?"

Fang Jie seemed to have known the effects of the red mist for a long time and did not show any curiosity or worry about it.

Wang Qi replied: "Let's go to the west wing first!"

While Wang Qi was speaking, other people had already started to move.

After Wang Qi finished speaking, he immediately ran out, calling out to Li Zhi to catch up. Seeing this, Li Zhi also hurried to catch up.

As soon as he came out of the hall, Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, because outside the hall, maids and servants were walking around in a hurry.

The maids and servants seemed to have anxious expressions on their faces.

At this time, a maid ran towards Li Zhi in a hurry, as if she didn't see Li Zhi. Just when the maid was about to hit Li Zhi, a feeling of extreme danger rushed into Li Zhi's brow. Li Zhi somehow made way, and the maid ran past Li Zhi.

"Phew! It's so dangerous!"

Fang Jie, who came hurriedly from behind, saw that Li Zhi was not hit by the maid and breathed a sigh of relief towards Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was a little puzzled, but when he glanced at the others, he found that except for Fang Jie who had just arrived and the three people from Shushan who had not yet come out, everyone else had an expression as if they were watching a show with amusement.

Li Zhi frowned, but didn't say anything. He just slowed down his pace and stopped following those people.

Fang Jie came up from behind and said to Li Zhi: "The red mist on our bodies can block the perception of these people, but we cannot be touched by them. Once they touch us, they will find us. Once they find us, the end result will be that they will attack us until we are wiped out!"

Li Zhi did not doubt the consequences of the annihilation he mentioned, because he still had a deep impression of the extremely dangerous feeling just now, and his eyebrows were still aching slightly.

After what happened just now, Li Zhi finally remembered that the place he is in now is not the same world as before. Here, rituals and music have collapsed, and everyone is scheming.

He was careless!

Because of this little bit of carelessness, he almost died.

Li Zhi didn't say anything, but just looked at Fang Jie with suspicion in his eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Fang Jie had other plans in mind when approaching him. After all, this man had been deliberately approaching him from the very beginning in Sanyang City.

Fang Jie didn't care about the scrutiny in Li Zhi's eyes. He said, "Let's go. Although these people are not good people, it will be safer to follow them. After all, these are the roads they built with their lives!"

Li Zhi was startled. He looked at the people in front of him who were familiar with the route, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
