Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 341: Chapter 162: The Place Where the Champion’s Spear is Broken

Upon feeling the call of the ship ticket, Li Yelai immediately informed Yin Fire and hurried to the safehouse at top speed.

Entering the ark through the safehouse was currently the most prudent plan.

Reliable security measures were one aspect; on the other hand, it was to prevent any of the Ark Chosen Ones from tracking Li Yelai’s physical location through certain means.

This would put Li Yelai’s Dark Pile identity at risk.

Of course, this could also deliberately mislead those ill-intentioned Ark Chosen Ones.

And the safehouse was an official stronghold set up for ’Copper Face.’

The only trouble was the distance from the branch. It would take two hours to reach under normal driving conditions.

After all, ’Copper Face’ was portrayed as a spiritual ability user group that was deeply hidden and antagonistic to the officials, which couldn’t be too close to the official branch.

Therefore, Li Yelai had mentioned to Chu He in advance that for non-gathering time trading, it was best to send a message beforehand so that he could prepare to enter the ark.

After a certain ’Light Cruiser’, also known as Ye Boshou, floored the accelerator, accumulating who knew how many speeding tickets,

Li Yelai successfully arrived at the safehouse in an hour and a half.

At that time, Yin Fire had already prepared everything inside the safehouse and was waiting in the hall.

Seeing Li Yelai burst into the hall, Yin Fire said, ”Chu He’s speed is indeed fast. It’s only been a few days since you traded for Gulan Sanks’s heart, and he’s already found and hunted the Heavenly Meteor Qilin?”

Indeed, generally speaking, if Ye Boshou wished to hunt an extraordinary creature, they would need to spend some time finding its habitat or territory and take measures to ensure it couldn’t escape.

Chu He’s speed was indeed very fast.

”Maybe there’s something else; I’ll bring some more supplies in a moment. Do we officials need to trade any other materials?” Li Yelai asked as he dressed in a suit and donned Copper Face.

”There is one, a Winter Summoning Beast with Sixth Sense strength!” Yin Fire responded, ”From its appearance, it seems to be a variant of some extraordinary creature we know. And we want to study its abilities. As for contacting Black Umbrella, you can do so directly this time. It saves running back and forth.”

Li Yelai nodded and then quickly entered the basement.

After grabbing the prepared materials, he responded directly to the call of the ship ticket.

As he infused his spiritual energy into it, Li Yelai felt his body lighten and his vision brighten,

And he arrived inside the ark.

Inside the ark, it was as luxurious and bright as ever, but there seemed to be some slight differences.

Li Yelai swept his gaze over the hall and saw that a fourth painting had appeared on the wall!

Like the third painting, it was an unfinished scroll, meaning the events depicted weren’t fully completed yet, but the signs of what was developing were already emerging.

The theme of the painting seemed to be a deserted city, with dark figures emerging within.

Among them were humans, as well as some kind of twisted creations or extraordinary creatures. Even...

Li Yelai felt a jolt in his heart upon seeing some of the figures wearing black trench coats,

Although the features were unclear, those characteristic trench coats were obviously Ye Boshou!

Li Yelai was a newly enlisted Ye Boshou and could not mistake it!

And in the painting, Ye Boshou and some humans were facing off against another group of humans and extraordinary creatures, even twisted beings...

Some humans and extraordinary creatures, even twisted beings, teamed up to besiege another group of humans?

What was this about?

Moreover, a significant part of the extraordinary creatures in the painting was not recorded in the official database.

Li Yelai frowned, unable to foresee what this all portended?

And there stood Chu He in front of the fourth wall painting, seemingly contemplating the meaning of this painting.

His sturdy and tall frame seemed to carry an even sharper aura.

Seeing Li Yelai enter the ark, he turned and said, ”You finally arrived, making me wait a while. Oh? Reached the Four Awakenings? Was the Ancient Dragon’s heart useful?”

”Very useful indeed, Lord Chu He,” Li Yelai responded with a smile.

Chu He then said to Li Yelai, ”Say, can’t you find some corner to enter the ark directly? Was it necessary to take so long to prepare?”

Chu He’s complaint was not unfounded, as after sending out the trade message, he waited an hour before entering the ark.

Then he waited another half hour before Li Yelai entered the ark, which made him feel that Li Yelai was dawdling.

”I have to prepare the materials for the trade with you. And besides, I need to be careful not to be discovered by certain people,” Li Yelai replied.

”Alright, it’s good to be cautious. I do have an advantage in the Lost Land. At least the humans here are all my companions,” Chu He nodded slightly.

In the Lost Land, although constantly threatened by the Forbidden Zone and extraordinary creatures, the humans at least worked together in unity.

He could enter the ark through any safe cave found in the wilderness without too much trouble.

Even if other Ark electors had designs on him, they wouldn’t dare to come to the Lost Land...

Come to think of it, Chu He would actually welcome them all...

And ’Copper Face,’ though within the Giant City and not facing the aforementioned threats, had to be wary of other Ark electors or hostile forces.

”What does this fourth painting represent?” Li Yelai approached Chu He and asked.

”I’m not sure. I saw it only after entering the ark,” Chu He said, looking at the painting: ”We’ll probably have to wait for the Book Holder to explain it at the gathering.”

Li Yelai nodded, and Chu He continued, ”Now that you’re here, let’s proceed with the trade.”

”You hunted the Heavenly Meteor Qilin? That was really fast, wasn’t it?” Li Yelai remarked.
