1050: System Binding

“I…I am Ye Tian,” said the fellow inmate in the same prison as Li Changkong.

“Alright, you can go now.”

The Knight’s words from outside the door caused Li Changkong’s eyes to widen slightly.

Turning his head, he saw the fellow inmate in the cell walking towards the door.

“Are you leaving too?”

As he passed by Li Changkong, Ye Tian asked.

Facing this obviously mocking question, Li Changkong hesitated and nodded slightly.

“Officer, can I take someone with me?” Ye Tian asked the Knight outside the door.

Hearing this blunt question, Li Changkong held his breath, and on the verge of death, he even wanted to get up and cover Ye Tian’s mouth.

“You’re already leaving, just hurry up and go! How could you possibly still get out by saying that?!” These were Li Changkong’s thoughts.

However, what he absolutely did not expect was this.

After hearing Ye Tian’s words, the Knight outside the door nodded without the slightest hesitation: “You may.”

Li Changkong:…?! !!!

…

Outside the prison.

Breathing in the fresh air and looking at the gate of the Renault Family prison behind him, Li Changkong felt that the events unfolding were too fantastical and unreal.

“How could you…” Looking at the Man named Ye Tian beside him, who had the same skin and hair color as himself, Li Changkong was momentarily choked by too many questions.

“Good luck,” Ye Tian said, and then his figure disappeared into thin air in front of Li Changkong!

This scene caused the Man’s emotions to fluctuate violently.

The throbbing pain from his hidden injuries barely brought his attention back.

“Ding~ The Ye Tian Brand Lord System has been activated. Host, do you choose to bind?”

A voice appeared in his mind.

“Who?!” Li Changkong’s heart was alert. Enduring the pain in his body, he turned to look.

“Ding~ The Host has triggered the binding condition. The System is starting to bind.”

“1%”

“100%”

“System binding successful. Congratulations to the Host, you have received a Newbie Gift Package. Do you wish to open it?”

Following a series of sounds, a light screen appeared before Li Changkong!

Host: Li Changkong

Strength: Apprentice Knight

Territory: 0.2 Grade (More territory can grant more System rewards)

Seeing these images and information, Li Changkong wasn't particularly happy. He was more so intimidated by this incomprehensible situation, not daring to act rashly.

But then.

Looking at the Duanmu Mingyue above and the surrounding The Black Night, he still endured his injuries and gritted his teeth to get up from the ground.

It was already dark!

Li Village had no spiritual lamps, something big was bound to happen. He had to hurry back!

This thought supported Li Changkong as he moved a hundred meters down the street.

With every step, there were bright red footprints on the ground!

His condition was already extremely poor.

If he were to recover normally, it would take at least a hundred days before he could get out of bed!

Fortunately, this was within Busen City. The entire City was protected by a large formation, so there was no need to worry about monsters breaking in.

Otherwise, once a monster targeted Li Changkong, he would surely die!

And this situation almost certainly indicated that it was impossible for him to return to Li Village!

Li Changkong himself must have known this well, but he still lowered his head and rushed towards outside the City!

Halfway there, the Man stopped, looked at the sparsely populated road before him, and then looked at a shop on the side that was already closed.

spiritual lamp Specialty Store.

All the spiritual lamps on him had been taken by Su Liang. Even if he returned to the Village, without spiritual lamps, the people in the Village could not possibly live safely until dawn!

…

“Bang~”

The glass shop door was shattered by Li Changkong’s punch.

Amidst the slight noise, Li Changkong entered.

By the time he came out, he already had an intermediate spirit lamp in his hand.

At a time like this, he obviously couldn’t afford to care too much.

If he was still alive, he would come back and talk to the Boss about compensation.

Walking all the way out of the City gate, in a daze, Li Changkong finally heard some movement on the street behind him.

It was from the spiritual lamp Specialty Store.

Busen City had always been very peaceful, and obviously no one expected something like a shop door being smashed on the street. Therefore, it took this long for the situation to be discovered.

He led the wild horse out from the place where the horses were boarded.

The Black Night’s shroud caused the horse to move its hooves restlessly.

After Li Changkong led it out, it even wanted to run back into Busen City.

“Take me back, and I’ll give you good grass to eat,” Li Changkong said, gritting his teeth and pulling the horse.

After speaking, he used the last of his strength to flip onto the horse’s back!

“Go!”

…

Li Village.

At this moment, everyone in Li Village was enveloped by a sense of fear.

Compared to last night, there were already two more bonfires set up in the center of the Village.

A total of four bonfires were burning wood.

But even with so many flames, they still couldn’t transmit any warmth!

The Black Night was like a dark and cold ocean, and these lit bonfires were in danger of being completely extinguished in the ocean at any moment!

“Has the Village Chief not returned yet?” After Li Bo had temporarily appeased the crowd, he turned to Li Man, who had been staring at the dark area at the entrance of the Village, and asked.

Li Man shook his head in silence: “The Village Chief hasn’t returned yet… Should I go to the Town?”

“It’s only just turned dark now. I can try to bring a spiritual lamp back.”

After these words fell, Li Bo shook his head heavily: “In the afternoon, when I saw that the Village Chief hadn’t returned, I felt that there might be a problem tonight. I specifically sent two other people to the Town to see if they could buy a spiritual lamp and bring it back.”

“There’s been no news from those two either. I think… someone in the Town is targeting our Li Village!”

“The Village Chief must have been held up by the other party.”

“If you go to the Town, the outcome is very likely to be the same as the Village Chief, unable to return.”

After saying these words, Li Bo took a deep breath, trembling slightly: “It’s already night. Let everyone hide, and you hide well too.”

Without spiritual lamps, if they were still ordinary people, then there was only one way they might be able to hide from the monsters at night.

That was to hide!

Hide in the rice bin, hide in the cellar, hide in the haystack…

No matter where they hid, as long as the monsters didn’t discover them, they could live safely until tomorrow!

This was the survival method that had been passed down among these people for generations!

Of course, this was against some low-level monsters.

If they were facing those terrifying monsters, their hiding, in the eyes of the other party, was just food placed on the dining table waiting to be enjoyed.

Only when the other party had eaten their fill and left could the remaining people survive.

“Why don’t we wait a little longer? Maybe the Village Chief will be back in a moment,” Li Man still said with a glimmer of hope.

Li Bo shook his head bitterly: “Compared to the Village Chief returning, I now hope more that he is still in Busen City.”

“The road at night is destined to encounter monsters! If the Village Chief rushes back to the Village at this time, he is almost certainly seeking death!”

…

Large patches of trees twisted like Ghost claws stood silently on both sides of the compacted dirt road, carrying a deep darkness that extended forward continuously!

In the jungle, amidst the dead silence, there would occasionally be sounds that made one’s spine chill and hair stand on end!

“Go!”

Riding on the horse’s back, Li Changkong held the reins in one hand and the old greatsword slung on the side of the horse in the other.

His everted flesh was still crimson, and blood was still dripping onto the ground from his feet.

He was already at his limit due to his injuries, yet he was still rushing forward with his head down!

“There’s still time, there must be time!” Li Changkong muttered to himself, completely unaware of his condition.

“Whoa!”

Suddenly, the charging horse, at a certain moment, abruptly lifted its two front legs and let out a frightened neigh.

This action also directly threw the severely injured Li Changkong off the horse’s back!

When Li Changkong supported himself to stand up, he saw the horse running directly away towards the back!

“Giggle giggle…” A voice emitting a chilling aura by his ear, like Centipedes crawling on his skin, a strange sensation, forcibly attracted Li Changkong’s attention!

This was a monster that existed in The Black Night!

Under its huge head, four thick legs supported everything.

Its dead fish eyes, which had no trace of living color, narrowed into pinholes, staring intently at Li Changkong. The corners of its mouth gradually lifted into an exaggerated arc, like a cold scythe, harvesting lives!

Moving with heavy steps, the monster brought a wave of shadow, enveloping Li Changkong!

At this moment, Li Changkong’s eyelids, unable to bear the strain on his body, began to lose support and were about to close!

All the sounds, smells, and perceptions around him seemed to instantly turn into tangible entities and move away from him. Everything, everything, became blurred as his body reached its limit.

“Crack crack crack!” The monster’s huge mouth, amidst a bizarre sound of bones cracking, suddenly opened to a terrifying angle!

Then, its entire mouth, like a broken jar, with sharp fangs, foul stench, and rotten flesh from corpses stuck between its teeth, directly swallowed and bit down towards Li Changkong!

“I can’t die, I have to go back, I still want to go home…” As if in a final burst of energy, the Man tightly gripped the greatsword in his hand and suddenly stared directly at the monster before him!

“Ding! The Host has successfully used the Newbie Gift Package. Congratulations to the Host, you have received rewards.”

“Realm increased by one level, promoted to Formal Knight.”

“Reward Knight Set, Steel Shield, Steel Longsword, Steel Armor, Warhorse!”

After these rewards fell, Li Changkong’s injuries suddenly recovered, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his entire body!

In his left hand was a heavy shield, the old greatsword in his right hand shed its rust and regained its sharpness, and on his body was a set of armor flowing with blue light!

“I said! I want to go home!” Amidst the roar, a white sword light, born from the heavy sword in Li Changkong’s hand, was unleashed with a bang!
