Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 749: Chapter 351 Embrace_2

“It was really too hot at that time, and some in the team were also thirsty. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used ‘Dragon Roar’ to change the weather,” a Spiritual Ability User explained awkwardly. Some Spiritual Ability Users can change the weather, but it backfired in the desert.

Listening to the complaints of the Spiritual Ability Users, Li Yelai also sighed.

It was his first time commanding troops on the march, and indeed he lacked experience, and there indeed had been some troubles along the way. Fortunately, he had comrades to assist. At any rate, they had reached the vicinity and would soon meet up with the main force.

“I’m commanding five hundred people and it’s all chaotic. How does Mo He manage to command hundreds of thousands of troops without any mishaps?” Li Yelai grumbled.

Meanwhile, in the team, a few rangers were whispering among themselves.

They were all summoned by the Wilderness Rangers in the team along the way, as lone rangers, it was rare for them to gather together like this.

“Lord Ye’s strength is not mediocre, really might be invincible below the Sixth Sense. Whether he can exchange one for one above the Sixth Sense is not guaranteed. But he should be able to eliminate most,” a ranger commented, “After all, he is a Champion Agent.”

“Indeed, and even though he knows we are rangers, he doesn’t treat us specially, he really trusts us,” another ranger said.

“Strength is the real confidence, he’s confident that he can suppress us strongly if we cause trouble,” an older ranger said, “Of course, the official also doesn’t mean us any harm.”

“Be careful, everyone…” at this point, a young girl spoke up, “This Lord Ye, gives me an uneasy feeling.”

She was slender, dressed in tight clothes, with her hair in a ponytail, and a glimpse of green flame could be seen flickering in her eyes.

“Oh? What’s so ominous?” Zhang Zhong, who got along well with Li Yelai, asked.

“When I saw him, my blessing was disturbed…” the girl responded.

“In what situation would it be disturbed?” Zhang Zhong and others’ expressions changed slightly as they asked.

“Either, he is a Chosen of the same lord as me, or… he is a dangerous enemy!” the girl said gloomily.

“An enemy… He is a Champion Agent, and might even be the next Champion,” a ranger frowned.

“I know, so I’m just asking you all to be cautious,” the girl responded, “I prefer to believe it was my misjudgment.”

The rangers nodded slightly, each taking note.

And on a distant mountaintop, someone silently pushed their glasses up, smiling lightly.

“Chosen of the Double Gods, Green Flame Chosen One… Oh… great master of Deceit Dao. Such a grand drama must be watched. I will become your eyes, to witness for you.”

“But before that, I must look at Changle Immortal Monarch. He fits our doctrines so well!”

…

On the other side, as Li Yelai’s team approached, the human team stationed near the Divine Treasure Vault had already noticed.

They immediately dispatched a team to meet them.

And Li Yelai, looking at the shattered mountain range, couldn’t help but complain, “These mountains are really ugly, looking like they’ve been gnawed by a dog.”

This wasn’t an exaggeration, the nearby mountains were severely damaged, several big mountains had turned to scorched earth, and some force had even cut through the mountains, leaving the originally immortal-filled ranges in a mess.

Li Yelai and others saw from afar.

The human team that came to meet them was led by Ye Boshou of No.1 Border City. Upon hearing, he said, “Two days ago, a great battle erupted here. Ye Han killed for treasure and was discovered by the Mo Family, who then initiated a siege.”

“Oh? Ye Han?” Li Yelai was surprised, then asked, “Was it successful?”

“He failed. Ye Han used curse enhancement and counter-killed the strong invitee of the Mo Family. Lieutenant General Mo He nearly died by his hands. He even tried to kill everyone to silence them!” Ye Boshou said.

“What a pity, wasn’t he killed?” Li Yelai felt a sinking feeling.

“The Toy Captain and Little Mad King Captain arrived in time, repelled Ye Han. Unfortunately, the pursuit failed and he escaped,” Ye Boshou pointed to the distant mountains, “These were caused by the Toy Captain’s attacks.”

“Toy…” Li Yelai paused, then suddenly changed his tone, “I see now, worthy of being a Toy, he fashioned the mountains with such aesthetic sense.”

The nearby Spiritual Ability Users were stunned; you just said they looked gnawed by a dog, and now they have aesthetic sense?

“Why are you pretentious before and respectful after?” Zhang Zhong asked with a puzzled face.

“The Doll is my partner,” Li Yelai said calmly.

“Oh~~~ then it indeed strikes quite an aesthetic feel,” Zhang Zhong’s mouth twitched.

Soon, with the help of the responding teams, Li Yelai and his companions reached the temporary base.

Ahead of them, the arriving team of Humans who managed the construction used their Spiritual Energy to quickly build a fortress far from the Immortal Palace, even tunneling through a mountain to connect to a stream, crudely crafting a water system—it truly was a tough task for them.

Later, Li Yelai also learned that there were more than eight thousand people in this base, including eighteen Sixth Sense users, eleven of whom were official captains. Adding Li Yelai, that made twelve captains.

At this moment, Human Warriors were lined up outside the distant Divine Treasure Vault, attacking the barrier and gathering rewards.

It was said that an official captain had already gained a legacy, though the requirements were high and not many Spiritual Ability Users met them, but it still was good news that helped Giant City.

As Li Yelai had anticipated, the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace was perfect for the officials of Giant City. It was almost risk-free and didn’t limit the number of people. With over eight thousand people attacking, even if the rewards were few, the total would still be massive.

After entering the base, Li Yelai disbanded his team, letting them rest on their own while he went to look for his colleagues.

However, just a few steps away, Li Yelai saw a figure propel from a distance, landing swiftly in front of him.

Doll still wore her winged helmet, but her clothes were changed, seemingly borrowed from a female, Ye Boshou, still revealing no skin.

Even so, Li Yelai could feel her joy.

[Miss you (☍﹏⁰)]

The next second, ‘bang’.

A crisp sound rang as Doll’s winged helmet collided with Li Yelai’s lowered face armor.

Her hands, however, wrapped around Li Yelai’s body, intending to caress his back, but she could only touch the hard scales since Li Yelai was wearing armor.

Li Yelai chuckled, the Soul Well trembling, and the armor on his body retired into the Soul Well, revealing the light short sleeve beneath.

The period of separation made Doll especially worried; she was all too aware of Li Yelai’s luck.

If randomly teleported, he could end up in any deadly place. Some areas might have deadly first encounters.

Thus, she wanted to be teleported together with Li Yelai, but he had let go of her hand to avoid holding her back…

“Next time, don’t leave me behind,” the girl’s muffled voice came from inside the helmet.

“…Yeah,” Li Yelai responded, half-heartedly.

Afterward, Doll released her arms, feeling the gazes around her, and became a bit shy.

Pulling on Li Yelai’s arm, she quickly walked towards a room inside the base.

“Are you hurt?” Li Yelai asked.

[Not at all o(´^｀)o]

[But Jiang Ling got hurt due to a misunderstanding (;´д｀)ゞ]

[Luckily, it’s not serious (╥╯^╰╥)]

As the two entered a stone slab room and Doll locked the door, she finally took off her helmet. Her soft, black hair fell down, a few strands sticking to her sweaty forehead, yet her charm was undiminished.

With no outsiders present, the shy Doll became braver and stepped forward to tightly hug Li Yelai. She tiptoed, her cherry-red lips kissing Li Yelai’s cheek.

Feeling the softness in his arms and the touch on his face, Li Yelai said, “I still have sweat on me…”

“It’s okay. Let me hold you a little longer,” Doll spoke softly, “I missed you so much…”

The affection in her eyes was enthralling, her gentle breath stirring the heart.

Li Yelai dared not hug her for too long, their last… intimacy had been at the Hong Family villa.

Now, if he let Doll continue to cling, they probably wouldn’t be able to leave until tomorrow.
