Chapter 258 The Gate of Shadow Town
"We are all partners who have experienced life and death together, and we should support each other."

Lan Lingling nodded and said no more. She knew that Zhao Qi was telling the truth.

Lan Lingling suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Zhao Qi, how did you get out of trouble in front of the Soul-Eating Beast King? I know that the Earth Escape Talisman requires a process of casting spells, and if there is no one else to guard this process, it will not be possible at all. Any defense. How did you do that?"

Zhao Qi smiled when he heard this and said mysteriously: "Well... of course it's because I'm lucky!"

"Good luck?" Lan Lingling glanced at him doubtfully, "That's it?"

"Of course it's more than that." Zhao Qi blinked and started teasing.

"Do you know? When I faced the Soul-eating Beast King, I suddenly found that I had a kingly aura in me! That aura instantly made me taller and more powerful. Even the Soul-Eating Beast King was impressed by me. Shocked!"

"Really?" Lan Lingling was so amused by Zhao Qi's words, "Don't brag!"

"Haha, just kidding!" Zhao Qi said with a smile, "Actually, I was able to get out of trouble, thanks to those Purple Sun Fruits. Do you still remember those Purple Sun Fruits I grabbed before? I used them to attract Soul Eaters at the critical moment The Beast King’s attention, and then took the opportunity to use the Earth Escape Talisman to escape.”

"That's it." Lan Lingling nodded with sudden realization, "No wonder you have been unwilling to give up those Purple Sun Fruits before."

"Of course!" Zhao Qi raised his brows proudly, "I am a far-sighted person!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the worries and tensions in their hearts disappeared at this moment.

At this moment, Yi Wuxiao's voice suddenly came from not far away: "Hey! Have you two forgotten me?" I saw Yi Wuxiao walking over with a smile on his face, holding a hand in his hand. There are some unknown spiritual fruits.

"Yi Wuxiao!" Lan Lingling shouted in surprise.

"Haha, it seems the three of us are reunited again!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if all the difficulties and dangers at this moment no longer existed.

At the edge of the Demonic Wasteland, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling looked at the dangerous land in front of them, and couldn't help but feel grateful to have survived the disaster. The reason why they were able to escape from this dangerous place was all thanks to the Earth Escape Talisman presented by Zhao Qi.

"Brother Zhao, it's really thanks to your Earth Escape Talisman, otherwise we would have ended up in this Demonic Wasteland." Yi Wuxiao patted the dust on his body and said with emotion.

Lan Lingling also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Zhao, we will remember your kindness in our hearts. That Earth Escape Talisman saved our lives at a critical moment."

Recalling the scene at that time, the two of them were still frightened. That day, they strayed into a dangerous place in the Demonic Wasteland and were besieged by several ferocious wild beasts. Just when they were desperate, Zhao Qi appeared in time and handed the Earth Escape Talisman to them.

"This is the earth escape talisman. You can escape from the ground in an instant. Use it quickly, and I will stop you." Zhao Qi's words seemed to still be echoing in his ears.

At that time, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling didn't think much and immediately activated the Earth Escape Talisman. A flash of yellow light was seen, and the two figures disappeared. When they appeared again, they were far away from that dangerous place.

"Brother Zhao is really a righteous person." Yi Wuxiao sighed, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I must repay his kindness."

"Well, we must remember Brother Zhao's friendship." Lan Lingling also said firmly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their gratitude beyond words. They knew that they were able to escape from the Demonic Wasteland thanks to Zhao Qi's generous help. They will never forget this kindness.

At this time, the sunset over the Demon Wasteland was like blood, reflecting the resolute faces of the two people. They looked into the distance, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and gratitude to Zhao Qi.

"Let's go, we have to leave this place quickly." Yi Wuxiao said, "Brother Zhao is still waiting for us."

Lan Lingling nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the distance. They know that although they are out of danger now, the road ahead is still long and difficult.

However, with Zhao Qi's kindness in their hearts supporting them to move forward, both of them felt extremely at ease and determined.

As they walked, they talked about Zhao Qi's righteous deeds and the magical Earth Escape Talisman.

Yi Wuxiao teased Lan Lingling's nervous expression and embarrassed appearance from time to time, and Lan Lingling responded unfailingly. The laughter of the two people echoed in the Demonic Wasteland, as if bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to this dangerous place.

Just like this, while talking and laughing, the three of them gradually moved away from the edge of the Demonic Wasteland and entered a vaster continent.

Zhao Qi stood on the edge of the wasteland, looking into the distance as if he was looking for something. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling followed him, their eyes filled with gratitude to Zhao Qi.

"Now, let's leave this place first. The hunting on the outside should have started, we might as well try our luck."

After speaking, Zhao Qi turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the wasteland. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling looked at each other and followed.

They knew that Zhao Qi was not only powerful, but also thoughtful. With him around, their safety was guaranteed.

The three of them were walking in the wilderness, surrounded by silence. Only the occasional roar of beasts adds a bit of life to this land. Zhao Qi walked at the front, his steps steady and powerful, as if he knew the land well.

"Brother Zhao, how do you know there are hunting activities outside?" Yi Wuxiao asked curiously.

Zhao Qi replied without answering: "I have already inquired before coming here. Shadow Town holds a grand auction at this time every year, and the peripheral hunting activities are to add to the auction. Some fun. So, let’s go over now and we should be in time.”

"I see." Yi Wuxiao suddenly realized, "Brother Zhao is really well-informed."

Lan Lingling also looked at Zhao Qi with admiration: "Brother Zhao, you know so much."

Zhao Qi smiled and said nothing. He suddenly stopped and glanced around sharply: "Wait, someone is coming."

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were stunned for a moment, and then they felt movement in the distance. They looked at Zhao Qi nervously and saw a playful smile on his face.

"Don't be nervous, it's the scent of some low-level monsters." Zhao Qi said, turned and walked away.

As the three of them drifted away, calm returned to the wasteland. Only the wind blows gently, as if telling the story of this land.

Lan Lingling's eyes shone with a lively light. She gently raised her jade hand and pointed her slender fingers into the distance.

"Brother Zhao, Wuxiao, let's go in that direction. In that small town called 'Shadow Town', it is said that there will be a grand auction in the near future." Zhao Qi nodded slightly, with some approval in his eyes. : "Miss Lingling is really well-informed, and she can even inquire about this kind of news. In this case, let's go join in the fun, maybe we can get some unexpected gains."

Yi Wuxiao chuckled and patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, it's all thanks to you this time. If it weren't for the Earth Escape Talisman you gave me, we would have become dead souls in the Demonic Wasteland. It’s really thanks to you that I can follow Miss Lingling to experience the auction in Shadow Town.”

Zhao Qi smiled calmly and shook his head: "Brother Wuxiao is serious. Since we are together, we should help each other. Moreover, I am also very interested in the auction in Shadow Town, so I just took this opportunity to go there. Vision.”

As the three of them spoke, they embarked on their journey to Shadow Town.

Along the way, Lan Lingling introduced the situation of Shadow Town from time to time, as well as some rare items that may appear at the auction.

Her voice is clear and sweet, as if the spring breeze is blowing on the face, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao made jokes and made jokes from time to time. The laughter of the three people echoed in the empty wilderness, adding a bit of fun to the boring journey.

After a day's trek, the three finally arrived at the entrance of Shadow Town.

I saw a simple and mysterious gate standing in front of me. The three characters "Shadow Town" were engraved on the lintel. There seemed to be some mysterious power between the strokes.

Lan Lingling kowtowed gently and her expression became solemn: "Brother Zhao, Wuxiao, we are here. This is the gate of Shadow Town."

Zhao Qi looked up, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

He could feel the faint fluctuations emanating from this gate. It was obvious that this was no ordinary gate. However, he didn't say much, he just nodded and motioned for the two of them to follow him in.

Yi Wuxiao had a look of curiosity and excitement on his face, looking left and right at everything around him.

When his eyes fell on the gate, he couldn't help but marveled: "Wow, is this the gate of Shadow Town? It's so amazing!"

Lan Lingling pursed her lips and smiled, and explained: "This door is made of a special material that can isolate it from outside detection. It can only be opened through a specific method. Fortunately, I know this method."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms and muttered something.

As her spell fell, the talisman suddenly burned and turned into a stream of light that entered the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar and the door slowly opened. A mysterious aura rushed towards them from inside the door, making the three of them feel refreshed.

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhao Qi took the lead and walked into the door, followed closely by Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling.

As soon as they entered Shadow Town, the three of them were shocked by the sight before them.

I saw people coming and going on the street, and it was very lively. There are various stalls filled with all kinds of rare items.

There are all kinds of scents floating in the air, making people feel like they are in a mysterious world.

"Wow, it's so lively here!" Yi Wuxiao exclaimed, "I can't wait to go to the auction!"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said nothing. His eyes swept across the street, seeming to be looking for something. Lan Lingling, on the other hand, led the two of them through the street in a familiar manner and arrived at a relatively quiet place.

"Brother Zhao, Wuxiao, let's take a rest here first. The auction won't start for some time." Lan Lingling said.

Zhao Qi nodded and agreed. The three of them sat down in a corner and began to wait for the auction to begin.

In the dark depths of the Demon Wasteland, Snake Ming, Black Tail and Rattle Tail quietly appeared. Their figures were looming in the dim light, as if they were integrated with this desolate land.

Snake Ming, the leader of the three, had a sinister look on his face. His eyes are as cunning as a snake, revealing the desire and cruelty for prey. Kuroo, as his name suggests, is silent but moves as fast as the wind.

Although Xiangwei is the youngest of the three, he is also the one with the most delicate thoughts.

"It's that human boy who took away our Heavenly Spirit Snake Gallbladder!" Snake Ming said through gritted teeth, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Kuroo held the dagger in his hand tightly and said coldly: "We will make him pay the price!"

Xiangwei frowned slightly and hesitated: "However, there are many dangers in the depths of the wasteland. We have been tracking him for a while. Do we really want to continue deeper?"

Snake Ming glared at Xiangwei and said sternly: "What? Are you afraid? Don't forget, we worked hard to get the snake gall that day for many days. How can we let him take it away so easily?"

Kuroo also echoed: "She Ming is right, we can't let him go like this. Moreover, we may be able to find better materials by going deep into the wasteland to improve our strength."

Xiangwei stood on the edge of the wasteland, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the boundless Demonic Wasteland in front of him.

The wind here has a unique sharpness, as if it can cut through anything that hinders its progress. He looked back at Snake Ming and Kuroo, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"Do you really want to go deeper?" Xiangwei's voice seemed a bit erratic in the wind. "We have been tracking that kid for a long time. There are many dangers in the depths of the wasteland. If we encounter a high-level monster..."

Snake Ming's face was gloomy, and he interrupted Xiangwei's words coldly.

His eyes were as cold as snakes, revealing a heart-stopping chill, "Don't forget, that boy took away our Heavenly Spirit Snake Gallbladder. It was a treasure that we had worked hard to obtain for many days. How could we just... Give up so easily?"

Kuroo didn't speak, just silently clenched the dagger in his hand. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he was fully prepared for whatever was waiting for them ahead.

Xiangwei sighed, knowing that Snake Ming and Kuroo's decision could not be changed.

He wasn't afraid of death, he was just worried that such tracking would put them in greater danger. However, he also knows the importance of the Heavenly Spirit Snake's gallbladder, which is the key to improving their strength.

"Okay, I listen to you." Xiangwei shrugged helplessly, the hesitation on his face disappeared, replaced by a kind of determination, "But, we must be more careful."
