Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2084 - 2147: Clever Approach?

This is the place where the two of them had just been teleported to. Li Yifei made a special note of it. The ground here was no different from any other ground, but the four surrounding walls and the space a few meters above their heads also had an invisible force trapping them.

As expected, there was a formation method in this hall. The fact that there was a formation was what Li Yifei anticipated, but how should this formation be broken?

After thinking over and over, Li Yifei returned to the starting point. Since the walls could not be pushed down or penetrated, and since there was nothing unusual about the surrounding ground, then how were they teleported in? There had to be a method, or a space.

Even if it was a conduit? Li Yifei stood in the original spot, Xu Shanshan stood next to him. Although feeling a bit anxious to get out, neither of them was in a panic. They had encountered things more dangerous and difficult than this several times before.

If they could get in, then they could get out! This was the belief they held.

Li Yifei closed his eyes, feeling the subtle changes within.

Maybe a few minutes passed, maybe just a few seconds, but here they seemed to not sense the passage of time. In any case, it wasn’t long before Li Yifei spoke, "I found it."

Xu Shanshan was delighted and asked, "Is it right beneath us?"

"Yes, beneath us. Don’t move, let me break it." Li Yifei said confidently. Xu Shanshan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Alright, be careful."

Li Yifei simply stomped lightly. With just a stomp, the space where they stood suddenly transformed. The surroundings seemed to whirl and shift back to the corridor they came from.

If they paid attention, they would notice they had stepped a bit forward.

Both Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan showed looks of realization. It seemed the key was here. The seemingly ordinary corridor was actually full of formations. They did not know if their next step would trigger the formation or where they would be transported to.

"Be careful, let’s stand together." Li Yifei held his sword in one hand and Xu Shanshan’s hand in the other. Since this was the principle, it was easier.

Four steps forward, and just as Li Yifei expected, the scene transformed again in front of them. After things stabilized, they found themselves in a place resembling a back garden, with a rockery in front. As they observed their surroundings, they suddenly felt a sense of danger. A wolf-like creature suddenly appeared on the rockery, bared its sharp teeth, and fixed its eyes fiercely on them, apparently angered by their sudden intrusion. With a roar, the large wolf leapt at them.

Since landing on the island, how many monsters had Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan encountered? Probably over twenty, so seeing this wolf-like creature did not surprise them much. Even as the wolf pounced, Li Yifei was not flustered. He was even slightly absent-minded, pondering whether this wolf was a product of the formation or truly existed within.

Being experienced and skilled fosters bravery. Meanwhile, Li Yifei wondered where Shen Tianfang and the others were on this long corridor. What was really going on with the formations here? He and Xu Shanshan had encountered two formations already, but there was no sign of Shen Tianfang and the others in them. Had everyone been transported to different formations, or did they know the way forward and thus avoided them?

Li Yifei didn’t know. Beside him, Xu Shanshan was already taking action against the charging wolf monster, her blue glow bursting forth, sending off sword energy in rapid succession, weaving through the air and blocking the wolf’s path forward.

The wolf monster’s size was comparable to the leopard they previously encountered, both of about the same size, so they instinctively thought its strength and attack power to be similar. However, as the blue glow shot forth and with the wolf now just a few meters away, its body suddenly made a strange twist mid-air, as if... blinking suddenly? Li Yifei’s eyes widened to confirm he wasn’t mistaken. The wolf’s body flickered in the air and then reappeared a few meters away, successfully dodging Xu Shanshan’s sword energy and attack.

Xu Shanshan was similarly surprised by the unexpected outcome. In a momentary daze, she saw the wolf monster’s two forepaws make a raspy sound as sharp claws were exposed, eyes showing a bloodlust glint, and it let out a low growl, making a forward lunge move.

Just as the lunge was made, the wolf monster’s body disappeared, appearing in front of Xu Shanshan within a fraction of a second. It held immense anger towards the woman who dared attack it.

Though Xu Shanshan was prepared, she still cried out in surprise when the wolf monster appeared before her. Instinctively, she used a hand to block her chest, while her other hand raised a sword to fend off the wolf’s assault.

"Clang!" Li Yifei thrust his sword across, striking exactly at the white fur on the wolf monster’s chest. He originally thought the longsword would pierce through its chest cavity, but instead, a huge rebound force came back from the sword, sending a numbness through his wrist, nearly breaking the sword. Yet, the crucial point was that the wolf monster’s chest remained unscathed.

Xu Shanshan quickly reacted, Blue Glow was employed, and two streaks of sword energy were unleashed, also striking the Wolf Monster’s body. The Blue Glow flashed, but the scene that should have been full of torn flesh didn’t appear, and the Blue Glow similarly didn’t cause any harm to the wolf.

Could sword energy be ineffective? As soon as Li Yifei had this thought, he dismissed it, because the sword he had just swung had clearly struck the white fur on the Monster’s chest, and it had no effect either. So the issue wasn’t sword energy. Xu Shanshan also realized the same thing; she spun around, stepped closer, and slashed out a sword wrapped with immense True Qi at the Wolf Monster’s body...

No, it didn’t hit, because the Wolf Monster’s body shook again, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared several meters away. It growled and shook its body.

"Be careful, it can teleport, but there’s a time limit; it can’t teleport indefinitely." Li Yifei quickly figured out some patterns of this creature. After each teleportation, the Wolf Monster couldn’t instantly start the next one. Besides teleportation, its body was tough, able to withstand hits, but beyond that, its attack capability wasn’t that impressive. Working together, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan could block its attacks.

Yes, the premise is that both of them need to find this Wolf Monster’s weakness; otherwise, they can’t hurt it, while the Monster will eventually hurt them, as they will eventually exhaust their strength.

So, what’s going on? After forcing the Monster back with a sword strike, Li Yifei pondered secretly. One-on-one, Xu Shanshan was a bit clumsy, but together, they were much more relaxed.

"Shanshan, surround it." Li Yifei transmitted his voice.

Xu Shanshan caught his drift, showcased her footwork, and quickly circled to the back of the Wolf Monster. Li Yifei also attacked with full force.

Their full effort made the Wolf Monster not that impressive, constantly getting stabbed by them, yet without injury.

Roaring continuously, the Wolf Monster dodge left and right, with its figure flickering, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan’s sword light wove a web of swords, forcing the Wolf Monster to jump back onto the rockery.

"Jump up!" Li Yifei called out loudly, leaping up from one side, his longsword spinning, and delivering a diagonal slash, while Xu Shanshan also leaped up from the other end, forcing the Wolf Monster to jump down.

Just as they jumped onto the rockery, they discovered something unusual there; the rockery actually had a hole with a diameter of over a meter, pitch black inside. Li Yifei was just about to explore what was inside this black hole when their vision shifted, and they returned to the corridor, having moved forward already by ten steps or so.

Steadying themselves, Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei exchanged a glance, Xu Shanshan transmitted, "Darling, are all these formation spaces not forcefully tackled, but cleverly circumvented?" Twice in succession, first in the return path, and second on the rockery, if they hadn’t pursued, they might still be entangled with the indefatigable Wolf Monster, fighting until their True Qi and strength were depleted, and then the Wolf Monster would take them down.

With Xu Shanshan’s reminder, Li Yifei also thought it was very likely, but this was just a conjecture. After resting briefly, they proceeded again, walked eight more steps, and their space transformed once more. This time, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan directly fell into the water.

This was definitely real water; if Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan didn’t swim, they would immediately sink, and Li Yifei even tasted a mouthful, confirming without doubt, though he quickly spat it out.

The water surface was vast, giving a feeling akin to the ocean... Indeed, Li Yifei felt just that, as he quickly tasted salt in his mouth, a very unpleasant taste washing over.

"Pfft, what’s going on, have we been teleported back to the ocean?" Xu Shanshan looked around, surrounded by water, all ocean, no islands, and diving into the water and opening her eyes to look, it was pitch black, unable to see how deep it was. Simply by estimation, it must be more than fifty meters deep, or even deeper.

The water wasn’t exactly clear, but visibility was quite far, giving a misty feeling. Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan swam close together, feeling a bit bewildered. If this was also a formation space, how could one break it? By drinking all the water, which seemed absurd.

But if not, there was nothing else but water here, Li Yifei even thought of swimming towards the border, but where was the border?

Just as they were unsure what to do, they both sensed a hint of danger approaching, sinking into the water. Their eyes widened as they spotted a fish, an immensely gigantic one, even larger than some massive whales. This sight shocked them.

Could they really have been teleported back to the marine realm outside? But how could this be possible!
