I can equip strange items

Chapter 67 Cloud Mist Mountain, Monster

Once outside the city, the roads became clearer.

But this is only relative.

Because on the main road leading out of the city, vehicles were lined up in long queues, and horns were blaring everywhere.

Some car owners were clearly out of control; some were honking their horns, some got out of their cars to argue, and some even abandoned their cars and walked.

This further exacerbates traffic congestion.

Some car owners even took the car keys with them after abandoning their vehicles.

The cars behind that wanted to pass had to work together to push them to the side of the road, which greatly delayed the evacuation time.

Li Yuan frowned, but did not meddle in other people's business.

Since I'm not exactly an official, I should focus on taking care of my dozen or so shots first.

He then quickened his pace.

The straight-line distance from Donghe City to Yunwu Mountain is 300 li, but the actual journey is even longer.

If you're driving, it will take about two to three hours on the highway.

But now that traffic is paralyzed, he can only rely on his two legs.

Fortunately, his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and his running speed at full sprint was not much slower than that of a car.

Moreover, he doesn't need to take detours like a car; he can take shortcuts to some straight-line distances.

He found his direction and began to race along a national highway leading west.

"Whoosh!"

Only when he actually started running did he realize just how fast he was going.

Although there's no "night owl" tag to back him up right now, he estimates it's still around 60 meters per second.

Moreover, he felt that he could run for a long time, and his stamina seemed to be inexhaustible.

Behind them, the outline of Donghe City gradually faded into the distance.

However, after running for a while, a strong feeling of hunger appeared.

Li Yuan had no choice but to stop and prepare to eat something first.

"Luckily, I had the foresight to take a lot of food from the hotel."

I stopped by the roadside, took out food from my portable backpack, and started eating.

"It would be great if there was a storage space."

While eating, Li Yuan suddenly had a whimsical idea.

Carrying so many bags and bundles now is really hindering my travel.

In particular, there was a flowerpot in the backpack, filled with Extreme Sun Grass.

The Extreme Yang Grass no longer has the endorsement of being a night owl; if you accidentally kill it, you'll lose a lot of money.

He couldn't help but recall the rice cooker post he had seen online years ago.

That entry about rice cookers is probably referring to the effect of the interior space, right?

Unfortunately, the original poster blocked him. That's really...

Although the other party hadn't done anything wrong, Li Yuan wasn't a saint, and at one point he really wanted to beat them up.

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind, and it was just a momentary feeling of frustration caused by his unrequited love for a certain item.

More than ten minutes later, he finally finished eating, and almost half of the things in his backpack were gone.

After thoroughly inspecting the Extreme Yang Grass and confirming that there were no problems, Li Yuan put his backpack back on and continued on his way.

This time he didn't dare to continue running wildly, because there was extra space in his backpack, and if he ran wildly, the flower pots would shake around.

However, his speed is still not slow.

After running for about an hour, Li Yuan looked back.

Donghe City had become a blurry outline on the horizon.

He roughly estimated that he had run nearly seventy or eighty miles.

At this speed, we should be able to reach the vicinity of Yunwu Mountain around noon.

The sun had already come out, and strangely enough, even in the dead of winter, it felt quite scorching.

I don't know if it's because this area is special, or because of a problem with the climate.

Anyway, even he felt a bit hot.

Li Yuan then slowed down a bit, found a big tree by the roadside, leaned against it to rest for a while, and drank the only bottle of water he had.

A few minutes later, just as he was about to continue his journey, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a video call from Yan Qin, so he chose to answer it.

"Li Yuan, have you left the city?"

On the other end of the video call, Yan Qin asked with some concern, "I heard that Donghe City is going to be evacuated entirely. Where are you now?"

"I've already left the city and am heading west," Li Yuan replied, glancing at Yan Qin in the video.

Yan Qin should be outside right now, as there are pedestrian crossings passing by her from time to time.

It can be seen that the order in Linjiang City is still very stable.

"Westward?"

Yan Qin thought for a moment: "Isn't the west side mountainous? Is it safe there?"

Li Yuan nodded: "It's hard to say whether it's safe or not, but I have some things to take care of."

"What's more important than life?"

Yan Qin looked puzzled: "Why don't you find a safe place to stay? Don't wander around. Although you are very strong, I've heard that some strange things don't make any sense."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Li Yuan smiled and asked, "How's it going on your end?"

Although judging from the pedestrians' expressions, things seemed normal in Linjiang City, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"I'm doing okay here. Linjiang City is relatively calm now, but there are fewer and fewer people on the streets. Everyone is hoarding supplies, and the atmosphere is very tense."

Yan Qin sighed, "Tell me, what's wrong with this world? How did it suddenly become like this?"

"You seem to have asked this question more than once."

Li Yuan was silent for a while before saying, "Perhaps we were too comfortable before and forgot that there are many unknown things in this world."

"Why do you talk like an old man?!"

Yan Qin was amused by him: "Alright, alright, be careful. Once you're done, find a place to stay quickly, don't just wander around outside."

"Are you concerned about me?" Li Yuan suddenly asked with a half-smile.

He couldn't help but think of the gentle charm of this woman who exuded a strong sense of wifely love.

Although we've only been apart for a few days, I already miss her quite a bit.

Unfortunately, we can only reminisce about it now.

"Just take it as me showing concern for you."

Yan Qin blushed slightly, as if she had thought of something: "Anyway, you should take care of yourself."

"Okay, take care too."

After hanging up the video call, Li Yuan put away his phone and continued on his way.

The further west you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes on both sides of the road.

Beyond the suburbs lies a rolling hilly area, where farmland and villages are gradually replaced by barren mountains and shrubs.

There's a forest here—we could solidify the [Temporary Symbiosis] entry here.

However, let's solidify the [Yin Yang Double Thunder] entry for now.

He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Most importantly, one hundred hours is not a short time.

In all that time, I had already solidified the [Yin Yang Double Thunder] entry.

Once you get here, you can hardly see any pedestrians on the road.

Occasionally, you can see a few broken-down cars parked on the side of the road, but the owners have long since disappeared.

After running for nearly two more hours, Li Yuan finally saw the outline of a majestic mountain range appear on the distant horizon.

That must be Yunwu Mountain.

Because he rarely came here before, he didn't know whether the mountain had always existed or had appeared after the cataclysmic changes in the world.

However, judging from the navigation map, it should have always been there, only changing after the cataclysmic changes in the world.

Yunwu Mountain, as its name suggests, is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

But at this moment, the scene Li Yuan saw was even more bizarre than Lu Jiayin had described.

Because the entire mountain was shrouded in a thick layer of gray-black clouds.

Silvery-white lightning flashed continuously in the clouds, and a muffled rumble of thunder could be faintly heard from afar.

It really is a place where thunderstorms are frequent.

Li Yuan quickened his pace and ran towards Yunwu Mountain.

Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, one can see the main peak of Yunwu Mountain soaring into the clouds.

The area above the halfway point was completely shrouded in clouds.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the clouds, making it look like a mythical mountain surrounded by lightning.

It seems that this terrifying scene must have appeared after a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth; otherwise, such a strange sight would surely be famous.

Li Yuan was amazed.

There is a winding dirt road at the foot of the mountain leading up the mountain.

The dirt road was overgrown with weeds, and it looked like no one had walked on it for a long time.

There was a wooden sign standing by the roadside that was clearly put up recently.

The wooden sign reads in large characters: "Danger Area, Do Not Enter".

Li Yuan glanced at the wooden sign, then stepped over it without hesitation.

He walked uphill along the dirt road, and the higher he went, the more obvious the electric field in the air became.

Even he could feel the fine hairs on his skin standing on end.

The smell of ozone in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

The higher you go, the clearer the thunder overhead becomes.

Sometimes lightning would strike within a hundred meters of him, exploding into a dazzling silver light that made his scalp tingle.

We can't go any higher; we need to find a suitable place.

Li Yuan looked around and found a relatively open hillside.

There is a huge rock on this hillside, its surface charred and cracked by lightning.

Clearly, this place is frequently struck by lightning.

He walked to the rock and looked up at the sky.

Dark gray clouds rolled overhead, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, as if a bolt of lightning could strike at any moment.

Let's wait here—hmm? Wait a minute—

Suddenly remembering something, Li Yuan turned around and went down the mountain again.

Upon arriving at a place free from lightning strikes, he put down his backpack, especially the Extreme Yang Grass, which absolutely could not be damaged.

Having done all this, he prepared to remove the damaged Heart of Life and replace it with the Thunder Scepter.

However, at that moment, a powerful aura rushed down from the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

"A monster?"

His expression changed slightly; he had actually sensed a threat.
