Chapter 215 Waiting for Tomorrow
Chapter 215 Waiting for Tomorrow
Yansheng City stood majestically in front, and the tall and thick city walls seemed to clearly distinguish Dongzhou from Yazhou.
Li Zhi slowly raised his head and looked at this magnificent city. His face was full of fatigue from all the traveling. However, in his eyes, there was a hint of relief.
Yansheng City is the border between Yazhou and Dongzhou. As long as you cross this magnificent city, you will reach Dongzhou, the core battlefield where the battle between Yong and Chu is the most intense.
As long as they can successfully enter Dongzhou, those who have been chasing Li Zhi relentlessly for some time will not dare to chase him anymore.
After all, Dongzhou is now the most critical and important battlefield of Yongguo. The fighting is fierce and the situation is serious. It is not a place where these wanton people can act recklessly.
Not long ago, the five people that Li Zhi encountered, including the two martial arts masters who had reached the pinnacle, were killed one by one by Li Zhi. However, the two masters were very strong, and even if Li Zhi succeeded in killing them, it still made quite a noise.
This attracted the attention of other people, resulting in Li Zhi being surrounded and attacked by many people.
Although, Li Zhi finally relied on his powerful strength and ruthless ruthlessness at the critical moment to fight his way out of the heavy siege.
However, after that fierce battle, Li Zhi also suffered serious injuries.
Even now, the wounds on Li Zhi's body still hurt slightly, and although Li Zhi had bandaged them roughly, due to his full-speed running, the wounds had already begun to crack and bleed again.
However, Li Zhi understood. The situation was urgent and he had no time to stop and heal his wounds. Although he had rushed out of the encirclement, he could not kill everyone at that time, so his whereabouts at this moment must have been discovered by those who were searching for him.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Zhi had to pass through Yansheng City as soon as possible and reach Dongzhou as soon as possible, so that he could have a chance to breathe. The current situation was critical, the threat of the pursuers behind him was like a thorn in his side, and he was injured. Every moment of delay would increase the danger.
Li Zhi did not hesitate at all. He took a deep breath and walked straight towards the tall city gate of Yansheng City, then slowly stepped into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, an extremely strong smell of blood hit him in the face and instantly permeated around him. The pungent smell seemed to carry the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, drilling straight into his nasal cavity.
Li Zhi knew in his heart that the reason why the bloody smell was so strong was because the soldiers wounded on the battlefield were continuously transported here to recuperate, or were waiting here to be repatriated.
It is for this reason that most of the people in Yansheng City are wounded.
However, although they had all retreated from the extremely cruel battlefield, they all had some injuries on their bodies. But without exception, in addition to the injuries, they were also stained with an extremely strong bloody aura.
This bloody aura cannot be seen by mortals, but people with sensitive senses can sense it to some extent.
But one only needs to use the Qi-gazing technique to see the blood-red evil energy, which is lingering around them as if it were real. Just by looking from a distance, one can feel a solemn and tragic atmosphere.
It was precisely because the bloody aura that filled the entire city was too strong that Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
After all, the whole city was filled with such a strong bloody aura, which was like a thick fog, covering up everyone's aura tightly, making it difficult for Li Zhi to distinguish who were ordinary people and who were the people who were trying to attack Li Zhi.
Moreover, this strong bloody aura also restricted the movements of Li Zhi's mosquito demon.
The mosquito demon's strength was too weak. In this Yansheng City filled with bloody evil spirits, its weak demon body and pitiful demon power could not resist the impact of the bloody evil spirits at all. They could only huddle in Li Zhi's arms, making subtle buzzing sounds.
The visual advantage that Li Zhi was proud of was useless here.
Li Zhi frowned. He knew he couldn't stay here for long and had to pass through the city as soon as possible.
Now, without the mosquito demon to help monitor the vision, Li Zhi's previous way of action was completely disrupted in an instant, which really made Li Zhi feel uncomfortable.
In the past, with the help of the mosquito demon, he was able to clearly understand the movements of all parties one step ahead. This made it much easier for him to take action and he could also make preparations in advance.
But now without this capable helper, once any unexpected situation or potential problem occurs around him, Li Zhi will be like a headless fly, and can only respond blindly, completely losing his previous calmness and order.
You know, the reason why Li Zhi was able to successfully escape from the pursuit of so many people time and time again was that the mosquito demon played an extremely important role.
Therefore, Li Zhi could only endure the pain from the wounds on his body and walked carefully on the streets of the city. He scanned the surroundings vigilantly, always on guard against possible dangers.
Every time he passed a place, the wounded looked at him with either numbness, curiosity, or a hint of subtle scrutiny, which made Li Zhi's nerves more tense.
However, when Li Zhi finally passed through Yansheng City and finally came to the tall and heavy city gate, he got a piece of news that made him quite troubled. The city gate here cannot be entered and exited at will.
This is because it is the border area of the East Continent battlefield, and its geographical location is extremely special and important. In order to prevent those with ill intentions and ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to sneak into the East Continent battlefield, thus causing unnecessary trouble and harm to the war situation.
Therefore, an extremely strict entry and exit management system has been set up here.
Everyone who wants to enter or leave this city gate must register and be checked. Only after their identity and purpose are verified, will they be issued a special pass. Only with this pass can they enter or leave this city gate.
Moreover, this city gate is not opened every day, it has a specific opening time. It is opened once every five days, and only in the morning. Once it reaches noon, it will be closed.
If you want to wait for it to open, you will have to wait another five days.
Fortunately, Li Zhi learned from the guards that the last time the city gate was opened was four days ago. In other words, tomorrow would be the day for the city gate to be opened again.
Li Zhi only needs to get the pass today, and then he can leave the city directly early tomorrow morning.
After finding out the relevant matters from the guard, Li Zhi quietly handed the guard an ingot of silver without making a sound. Then, without delaying for a moment, he immediately rushed towards the government office of Yansheng City.
After Li Zhi finished his work in the government office, his expression relaxed a little. He was secretly glad that he had captured a few spies from the enemy country in Shuangyang Town before. This move was really too wise.
It was precisely because of this that when Li Zhi was facing the staff from the yamen to verify his identity just now, the other party quickly confirmed Li Zhi's identity.
Moreover, after hearing that Li Zhi went to the front line to assist the Yongguo army in fighting against Chu, the people in the yamen became particularly polite and friendly to Li Zhi.
After getting the pass, Li Zhi didn't plan to continue wandering outside. He found an inn and checked in.
Quietly waiting for tomorrow to come...
