Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down to rest.
According to the signs, the route was correct, but there was still a considerable distance from the roller coaster to the haunted house. Although the Yellow-Clothed Lord had escaped for now, Bai Ye believed that as soon as he showed himself, the other party would surely appear.
And...
There was something more troublesome about the Yellow-Clothed Lord than the Deer Head. The Yellow-Clothed Lord could move with its tentacles, making its pursuit harder to evade.
As Bai Ye pondered, he glanced at the time. Half an hour left!
If there wasn't much time left until the next card draw, Bai Ye wouldn't have minded waiting for the opportunity. But with half an hour remaining...
"Let's take a gamble!"
Bai Ye took a deep breath and began to walk out along the roller coaster tracks.
He didn't expect to reach the haunted house directly, but at least to get as close as possible.
After leaving the building along the tracks, Bai Ye started to climb the roller coaster rails.
Although the tracks were part of the roller coaster, they weren't considered part of the building area.
Therefore, Bai Ye climbed quickly, knowing the Yellow-Clothed Lord would surely chase him.
The first incline went smoothly, but as Bai Ye crested the first hill and began to descend...
A purple glow appeared, and then, in front of Bai Ye, a tentacle suddenly emerged, landing right on the tracks, blocking his path.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and leaped directly off the inclined track.
The next instant, Dragon's Roar roared to life!
Bang!
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, five energy beams shot forward, illuminating the surroundings, and then...
Boom!
The moment the energy beams hit the tentacle, they instantly shattered it into pieces. Countless fragments flew outwards, and even the roller coaster tracks were broken by Bai Ye's shot.
The next second, Bai Ye pushed off with his legs, crossed the broken track, reached the other incline, and began to climb upwards with his hands and feet.
He climbed all the way to the top, looking ahead to see more than half of the Death Amusement Park, with faint lights and the howling night wind constantly blowing, feeling like sharp knives scraping against his face, causing a slight stinging sensation.
Bai Ye quickly located the haunted house, but it was quite far from the roller coaster, situated deep within the Death Amusement Park.
So, Bai Ye's gaze shifted from the haunted house, and soon landed on a building near the roller coaster.
This was Bai Ye's current target. Descending the slope ahead and entering that building would bring him a little closer to the haunted house, after which he could wait for the next card draw.
But...
This would be no easy feat!
Bai Ye retracted his gaze and looked down from the tracks.
The Yellow-Clothed Lord...
Had arrived!
The Yellow-Clothed Lord stood at the bottom of the slope. A purple phantom appeared in its hand. After a wave forward, tentacles continuously emerged from both sides of the tracks, forming dense double rows that swayed in the night wind.
To move forward, he had to get through this challenge!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, swung Dragon's Roar to the side, and said, "Stinger!"
Five energy beams shot out, quickly transforming into energy blades.
The gun mode of Dragon's Roar would undoubtedly be better for dealing with those tentacles, and destroying them from a distance would also prevent them from attacking him.
However, with the Yellow-Clothed Lord producing so many tentacles at once, even an idiot like Bai Ye would know what it was planning. Once those tentacles attacked, it would be a swarm. Bai Ye could at most fire one or two shots, and the tentacles wouldn't give him the chance to keep firing.
If that was the case, then close combat it was!
Bai Ye took a deep breath, gripped Dragon's Roar horizontally, and pushed his left arm forward. The Hexagonal Prism Shield appeared in his hand.
With his equipment ready, Bai Ye leaped directly downwards.
If the Yellow-Clothed Lord retracted those tentacles now, Bai Ye would crash onto the ground like a flatbread. Fortunately, the Yellow-Clothed Lord wasn't that cruel.
With a bang, Bai Ye landed directly on a tentacle, knocking it askew. This also served to cushion his fall. He then hooked a foot into a gap between the tracks, stabilized himself, and swung Dragon's Roar forward, severing the tentacle.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Command!"
With one successful strike, Bai Ye gave a low shout. The Ning Shuang sword vibrated behind him, quickly transforming into a silver streak of light and shooting forward.
Thwack, thwack, thwack...
The Ning Shuang sword unleashed its power, piercing through the tentacles ahead before flying directly towards the Yellow-Clothed Lord, aiming straight for its face.
However, just as it was about to hit, the Yellow-Clothed Lord suddenly waved its hand, sending the Ning Shuang sword flying.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye pressed forward, continuously slashing at the tentacles in front of him.
The Yellow-Clothed Lord's tentacles were difficult to deal with, their sheer number overwhelming. They relentlessly tried to smash at Bai Ye, but Dragon's Roar was worthy of being a high-level item obtained from the Black Gacha. The energy light blades were incredibly sharp, like cutting through iron. Bai Ye felt no resistance as he sliced through the tentacles.
Ten meters, eight meters, six meters...
As Bai Ye advanced, he kept an eye on his surroundings.
The fight with the Yellow-Clothed Lord wasn't the main objective. Bai Ye merely wanted to get as far forward as possible, to close the distance to the haunted house, rather than relying entirely on the card draws each round. Therefore, his current target was a building to the side of the roller coaster.
Just then...
Buzz, buzz!
The five energy light blades at the muzzle of Dragon's Roar suddenly flickered and emitted strange noises.
Bai Ye's heart sank.
This was bad, the energy crystals were about to run out of power!
The next instant, the five energy light blades of Dragon's Roar vanished. Without the block from Dragon's Roar, a tentacle immediately whipped Bai Ye's waist.
This blow was severe. Bai Ye flipped over and fell off the track. Fortunately, Bai Ye was quick-handed and grabbed the edge of the track, dangling in mid-air.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Frost!"
Seeing the tentacle coming down at him, Bai Ye quickly shouted.
The Ning Shuang sword immediately abandoned the Yellow-Clothed Lord and flew back, bringing a large expanse of frost with it, covering the surroundings.
Crack, crack!
As the frost surged, a layer of solid ice immediately covered the surface of those tentacles, freezing them.
This gave Bai Ye a moment to breathe. He quickly used both hands to pull himself back onto the tracks.
