Fox Alien—Ali: That’s the Black Domain Square!

"A... A-Li?"

Li Xunle mumbled her name, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He pursed his lips, deep in thought.

Suddenly.

He recalled the stunningly beautiful A-Li from that Canyon game.

It had to be said.

The A-Li before him, in terms of looks and figure, was extremely similar to the A-Li in that game.

In some ways, she was even more alluring!

Previously.

He had also seen a Nine-Tailed Fox in the final stage of the Succubus Cave.

It seemed.

They looked like they belonged to the same race.

This.

A very bold idea suddenly formed in Li Xunle's mind:

Is it possible... that all races are enslaved by the eerie game, and the monsters that descend from the eerie game are actually all people of various races who have been manipulated?

Thinking of this.

Shock spread across Li Xunle's eyes.

Upon closer thought.

Many of the Adventurers from various races now seemed to have counterparts among the monsters.

This connection made him even more certain of it.

If that were truly the case.

Then did it mean that all races were being played with in the palm of someone's hand?

And who was doing the playing?

He gently shook his head, pushing these bold thoughts aside.

For now.

He couldn't figure it out.

The truth still awaited discovery.

He looked calmly at A-Li's porcelain-like pretty face:

"Let's go, beautiful, lead the way!"

A-Li nodded: "Okay, follow me!"

After speaking.

She quickly walked deeper into the Cube Black Domain.

Her movements were agile, and her speed was extremely fast; at maximum speed, she was even slightly faster than Mei Changshu.

Li Xunle guessed that this must be a natural advantage of her race.

Both foxes and cats seemed to excel in speed.

A-Li moved nimbly through the crude streets of the Black Domain.

Turning left one moment, then right the next.

Leading Li Xunle and Mei Changshu deeper and deeper.

As A-Li walked, she asked curiously:

"Blue Star People, how should I address you?"

"Li Xunle!"

"Mei Changshu!"

A-Li nodded:

"I know the name Mei Changshu, but Li Xunle is the first time I've heard it. Is this your first time in the Cosmic Cube?"

Li Xunle nodded: "That's right."

As A-Li walked, she asked:

"Do you know why I'm willing to take the risk to lead the way for you?"

Li Xunle asked, puzzled:

"Isn't it for the items that dropped?"

A-Li gently shook her head, her beautiful face thoughtful:

"While those are part of the reason, they're not the main one."

Li Xunle looked at A-Li with interest:

"Oh?"

"The Meow Planet People and my Fox Star People have always had grievances. Today, I saw you Blue Star People effortlessly eliminate so many top experts, showing immense strength. Therefore, I want to use your hands to get rid of that Second Class Expert of the Meow Planet People."

A-Li didn't hide her little scheme at all.

However.

Li Xunle wasn't surprised or astonished by her thoughts.

Because.

The moment he heard her say that profit wasn't the main reason, he had already anticipated this.

Deep-seated resentment, what else could it be?

As for what kind of grudge or resentment it was, he wasn't interested in the slightest.

A-Li's gaze occasionally scanned back and forth between Mei Changshu and Li Xunle.

She asked softly:

"Mei Changshu, I remember you are only a First Class Expert and should not be a match for that Second Class Expert of the Meow Planet People. So, the reason you are so confident in going is because of him, Li Xunle?"

Li Xunle nodded slightly from the side, not speaking.

Seeing Li Xunle's confident expression, A-Li couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

And it had to be said.

Li Xunle's handsome and dashing appearance even made A-Li, a Fox Star Person, feel that he was attractive across species.

Li Xunle noticed A-Li's gaze.

However, he didn't pay attention.

His gaze was observing the Black Domain market.

The feeling he got was.

This Black Domain seemed like various races had spontaneously gathered here.

Surprisingly, many people were doing business here.

There were all sorts of things for eating, drinking, and entertainment, including restaurants, lodging, clothing stores, equipment stores, skill book stores, luck crystal stores, massage parlors, foot bath parlors, gambling houses... He even saw... a brothel?

This was a bit unbelievable.

It seemed.

Where there are people, there is a martial world.

And where there is a martial world, there are brothels.

Li Xunle couldn't help but recall a meme.

It used to be said, "This humble lady is proficient in all four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting..." He was very curious, how would the people here introduce themselves?

At this moment.

The shouts and cries of vendors from the market came:

"Bo Bo Chicken, delicious and affordable Bo Bo Chicken..."

"Big Qiegao, honest and fair Big Qiegao!"

"Wild boar meat, fresh wild boar meat from the mountains!"

Hearing these sounds, Li Xunle inexplicably found it amusing.

Very down-to-earth.

He continued to observe the various buildings in the Black Domain.

Suddenly.

He asked Mei Changshu, puzzled:

"Why do all races choose to gather here?"

Mei Changshu pondered for a moment:

"This is the center of the First Star World, and there's a World Gate leading to the Second Star World. Plus, the Cube Palace and the teleportation array are not far from here. Perhaps these are the combined reasons."

"World Gate?"

"Yes, World Gates. For example, the passage from the First Star World to the Second Star World, and the passage from the Second Star World to the Three Star World, are all located in the central position of a world."

Mei Changshu explained patiently.

A-Li, ahead, added with a smile:

"Seeing your confused little eyes, let big sister explain. The World Gate has strength requirements. Although the mandatory requirement for Adventurers in the First, Second, and Three Star Worlds is all First Class Experts, the monsters in the World Gate are quite strong, dividing Adventurers into different tiers."

Li Xunle understood after hearing A-Li's explanation.

So, Adventurers actually needed to fight their way through the World Gate.

He had thought.

It was just a simple teleportation portal or something similar.

His gaze continued to curiously observe the Black Domain market.

Suddenly.

He felt himself bump into something soft ahead.

His gaze retracted.

He realized he had bumped into A-Li, who had stopped in front of him.

Startled by the sudden bump, A-Li's face was a little awkward.

Her face flushed slightly:

"Hey, Li Xunle, molesting me, aren't you afraid your wife will come looking for trouble?"

Li Xunle gently shook his head, casually saying:

"As a widower, why would I care about such things?"

"Widower?"

A-Li stared at Li Xunle thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment.

Li Xunle took the initiative to ask:

"Does your stopping mean we've reached our destination?"

A-Li nodded lightly at his words, pointing to a wide square ahead.

"Look!

See that square ahead? That Black Domain Square. Look closely at the two corpses on the square."

Li Xunle's gaze followed A-Li's fair hand, looking towards the square ahead.

Suddenly.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

On the square.

Indeed, two corpses were hanging from a crossbeam.

Mei Changshu also looked in the direction of her finger.

When he saw the two corpses, his eyes blazed with fury, as if they would spew fire.

Li Xunle confirmed with Mei Changshu:

"Are those two corpses, confirmed to be them?"

"Yes—!"

Mei Changshu nodded affirmingly, his face trembling slightly, and his body also shaking a little.

In his opinion, this was simply a great humiliation!

Li Xunle didn't hesitate, directly raising his hand and waving his staff.

The next second.

He appeared on the Black Domain Square.

He waved his hand again, and two Poison Lights shot out, landing on the unknown iron chains from which the two corpses hung.

In an instant.

The iron chains were corroded and broke.

The two corpses fell to the ground.

Li Xunle's gaze fell on the two corpses, quickly scanning them.

The corpses were already riddled with holes, and there were even arrows stuck in their bodies.

They were extremely tragic.

Li Xunle didn't delay for a moment, immediately casting Rebirth in Fire on one of the corpses.

At this time.

Mei Changshu also arrived at the Black Domain Square, protecting the other corpse.

The sudden appearance of the two.

Caused the expressions of the six Meow Planet People guarding the corpses at the edge of the Black Domain Square to change.

Someone immediately scoffed:

"Excellent! They actually came looking for death!"
