I can equip strange items

"call!"

Li Yuan gasped for breath, feeling like his body was about to collapse.

This was the first time he had engaged in such an intense battle; the demon's strength was terrifying.

Suddenly, a chill ran through him, and he abruptly looked into the distance.

Then they saw that there were still more than a dozen evil spirits fleeing.

"There are still more?"

Li Yuan's eyes were icy cold as he charged forward and began a chaotic massacre.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Compared to that evil spirit from before, these evil spirits are much weaker.

Even with physical strength comparable to twice that of a human, they are powerless against the bamboo sword specifically designed to subdue demons.

In the blink of an eye, all the demons and monsters here were slaughtered, not a single one was left.

"Damn it, we actually broke into the lair of the demons!"

Li Yuan sneered: "But in the end, I still won!"

The lair of demons and monsters is nothing more than this!

This time, the solidification progress of the "equivalent evolution" term has been significantly accelerated, making it a sure-fire way to profit.

Only then did he have time to observe his surroundings.

This is a space with a diameter of 100 meters, filled with a hazy grayness. The main light comes from a bead at the center of the space...

"Hmm? No, wait, that looks like a fruit?"

Li Yuan looked surprised: "How could there be fruit in a place like this?"

The fruit appeared to be growing on top of a small blade of grass, which was so small that it was barely visible unless you looked closely.

He cautiously observed his surroundings and quickly discovered that the edge of this space did not seem to be a true edge.

Through the unnatural darkness at the edge, he seemed to see trees.

"Could this place be a portal to another world?"

Li Yuan was startled, and an unbelievable conjecture came to mind.

'These demons, though in human form, are not transformed from human ghosts; they must have some other origin.'

Could it be that the source of these evil spirits is another world on the other side of darkness?

Upon closer reflection, the demons emerging from this black mist were quite similar to the demons from the Shadow Society that he had encountered in Nancy City.

So, another world really exists? Then, what role does the Divine Shadow play in it?

Are they collaborators?

Li Yuan squinted and slowly moved to the edge of the black mist.

From here, although the outside environment is even darker, you can still vaguely see some trees.

The reason this place isn't so dark is because of the fruit in the very center of the space.

The fruit emitted a faint golden light, dispelling the darkness.

"Could this space... be supported by this fruit?"

Li Yuan didn't dare enter the darkness. He looked back at the fruit: "Were those demons also attracted by this fruit?"

Suddenly, he noticed that the fruit seemed to be silently absorbing the residual power left behind after the demon died.

As more and more of the residual power of the dead demons was absorbed, the fruit's light grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, when the brightness reached a certain level, a special fragrance was released.

Upon smelling this aroma, Li Yuan suddenly realized that he was salivating uncontrollably, and a strong urge to eat it welled up inside him.

"Is it ripe now?" A thought suddenly struck him.

Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the darkness outside.

Each of those auras was no weaker than the demon he had fought before.

"Has another evil spirit been summoned?"

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he rushed over to dig out the fruit along with the special little grass.

The grass had just been dug up when suddenly the surrounding darkness seemed to lose some kind of support, pressing in from all directions like seawater pouring into the space that had been stretched open.

Li Yuan was taken aback and immediately turned around and rushed towards the exit connecting to Linjiang City.

"Hooray... The Yangyuan Fruit has been picked!"

"They're human..."

"How could there be humans here?!"

Roars and howls echoed from the darkness outside, rapidly approaching.

During this process, darkness poured in from all directions, threatening to fill the entire space.

Just a second before the space created by the glowing fruit was about to be completely submerged, Li Yuan rushed out of the space and also out of the black mist behind the building.

Finally, the moment Li Yuan rushed out, perhaps because he lost the support of the glowing fruit, the black mist on the street suddenly shrank back.

At the last moment, Li Yuan hurriedly turned around and vaguely saw seven or eight ferocious faces glaring at him unwillingly.

In the blink of an eye, the darkness vanished without a trace, and the streets returned to tranquility.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"call……"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not linger there any longer and quickly left this place of trouble.

He ran for two blocks before looking down at the grass and the fruit on it in his hand.

Perhaps because it had left that special space, the fruit had stopped glowing.

However, the aroma that makes you want to eat it is still there.

"I think I just heard the term 'Yangyuan Fruit,' is that referring to this fruit?"

Li Yuan didn't dare to eat it randomly, but planned to find out what this fruit was first.

After all, there was a bunch of evil spirits gathered there before, so maybe this kind of thing is something only evil spirits can eat?

But just then, wild cats rushed out of the darkness, along with rats and wild dogs...

Even snakes rushed out of the sewers and quickly approached this area.

Lured by the aroma of the Yangyuan Fruit, these beasts ignored the aura emanating from Li Yuan and pounced on him recklessly.

"A beast is a beast, utterly ignorant of its own mortality!"

Li Yuan quickly stuffed the intertwined grass and fruit into his robes, then drew his sword and began to slash.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Wild cats or rats were dismembered.

Even snakes and wild dogs were cleaved in two, and none of them could get close to him.

However, as time went by, more and more rats appeared, and wild cats, wild dogs, and even various unknown poisonous insects emerged from all directions or from the sewers.

Large numbers of cockroaches and centipedes have appeared, and it looks like a small-scale insect infestation is about to occur.

This scene shocked Li Yuan, making him realize once again the allure of the Yangyuan Fruit for living beings.

Suddenly, the sound of human footsteps came from afar.

He frowned, realizing that slaughtering these ordinary creatures wouldn't increase the solidification progress of the [Equivalent Evolution] attribute, so he simply gave up on entanglement with these beasts and quickly left the area.

Sheathing his sword, he ran while taking out his phone to search for information about the Yangyuan Fruit.

He originally just wanted to try his luck, but to his surprise, such a thing actually appeared on the internet.

Moreover, judging from the post's publication time, it should have been yesterday.

The post says that someone wants to buy Yangyuan Fruit and is willing to pay a high price of 100 points or 10 million yuan, and even said that the price can be negotiated.

However, the person who posted the message did not specify the exact effects of the Yangyuan Fruit.

"What a grand gesture!"

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then tried sending a message to Zhang Chenghao to inquire.

However, it was the middle of the night, and Zhang Chenghao still hadn't replied.

"Am I being too cautious?" he wondered to himself.

Snakes, insects, and rodents appeared from all directions, and wild cats and dogs chased after them relentlessly.

Although they couldn't catch up with Li Yuan, they would expose his location, for example, by attracting the attention of the military.

In fact, this scene has already caused a sensation.

Military patrols rushed in this direction immediately, and a large number of drones converged on this area from all directions.

Even some powerful figures from the common people were attracted here.

Finally, Li Yuan, on a whim, also sent a message to Lu Jiayin inquiring about the Yangyuan Fruit.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Jiayin replied instantly: "The Yang Yuan Fruit is a rare treasure from another world, growing on Extreme Yang Grass. Eating it replenishes Yang Yuan, which is what is known as Yang Qi. However, the greatest effect of the Yang Yuan Fruit is to enhance strength. Anyone can eat it directly. But only the first time you eat it will enhance your strength; afterwards, it will only replenish Yang Qi."

After sending that message, she quickly followed up with another: "Have you encountered Yang Yuan Fruit? Don't believe the buy-in prices online; this stuff is currently in high demand but short supply. Even a wealthy person offered 100 million yuan and still couldn't buy it."

"Holy shit!"

Li Yuan was taken aback and replied to Lu Jiayin with a message of thanks.

As he passed by, it seemed as if endless snakes, insects, rats, ants, wild cats, and wild dogs were rushing towards him from all directions.

He quickly picked the Yangyuan fruit from the grass he had hidden in his arms, pulled down his mask, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
