Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 897: Chapter 422: The Hidden Champion Agent (Part 2)

Everyone can use the Lucky Wheel three times, but official members can only apply for its use after the Four Awakenings.

As for Cheese, after becoming a Ye Boshou, she left the Giant City and hadn’t used it yet.

After all, there’s a risk. Getting blessings or a protection is naturally good. But if it’s a curse, wouldn’t it be causing trouble for oneself by spending money?

However now, she’s already been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, so she doesn’t care much anymore.

The pointer spun rapidly on the wheel, and eventually stopped in the red area.

The next second, a golden light flickered on the wheel and surged into Cheese’s body.

“Cat’s Eye Protection? Night vision ability…” Cheese nodded, “Looks like my luck isn’t too bad?”

Then, she continued to swing the pointer.

After using all three chances, she got two blessings and one curse.

The blessings were the Cat’s Eye Protection, gaining the Dark Vision ability.

Unfortunately, her Path of Babbling Spiritual Ability User fights using sound as a medium.

For her, the cost-effectiveness of this blessing is not very high. As soon as she starts talking, others can pinpoint her location.

If it were other paths, like the Netherworld Path, they could completely fight enemies in the dark.

The second blessing was the Arrow Avoidance Protection, which allows her to interfere once with a ranged weapon shot at her within a minute.

This blessing is more cost-effective.

Even if she’s caught completely off guard, she can avoid damage from a sniper.

The cooldown is one minute.

For Cheese, it is a significant improvement.

The curse, however, is the enhancement of pain. If injured, her pain will multiply.

Compared to other troublesome curses, this is barely acceptable.

“My luck isn’t bad, Xiao Ye.” Cheese said with a smile.

Li Yelai was rather envious.

If possible, he also wanted to receive a few blessings.

Now, he’s almost at the Sixth Sense.

He only has two blessings, one being the Remote Attack Specialization Protection.

Another is Rainbow Through the Sun, which has a lot of negative effects… tch…

If he could get some other strong protections like the Doll’s Strong Enemy Killer Protection.

That would be even better.

But alas, Li Yelai doesn’t have that kind of luck.

Even without using the Face, on the Lucky Wheel, he would only get a curse. With his luck, that curse wouldn’t be light…

After Cheese used the Lucky Wheel three times, she said: “Using a Catastrophe to force the Heartless Fruit is indeed one method. Just like how you previously summoned a meteor in the Forbidden Zone.”

“Once the Heartless Fruit senses a meteor, it will probably be stressed, striving to leave seeds for itself…”

“But this method has three difficulties. The first point, once a Catastrophe appears, it won’t easily disappear. Even if the Heartless Fruit emerges, and we survive.”

This point, Li Yelai actually has a solution. Li Yelai also has Mr. Shadow… with Mr. Shadow’s formidable power, though maybe not suitable professionally to deal with this kind of parasite like the Heartless Fruit, he should be able to suppress a Catastrophe.

Summoning a Catastrophe, making the Heartless Fruit leave the host. Then using Mr. Shadow to trade, to suppress the Catastrophe, perhaps all Heartless Fruits could be eradicated.

“Second point, removing the Heartless Fruit requires external assistance, the host themselves can’t do it. We are still unable to simultaneously remove everyone’s Heartless Fruit in that instant.”

“Third point, the spread of the Heartless Fruit may be more extensive than we imagine. They might hide from the Catastrophe, and simply not emerge… As long as there is a body left, it can still grow fruit. Who knows, perhaps in some corners, there are Heartless Fruits in fruit form surviving.”

“As for the Divine Calamity’s counterattack you mentioned… it is uncertain currently whether the Heartless Fruit can fully trigger such a response. I still advise against being parasitized.”

Li Yelai fell silent, this conclusion matched Jing Lin and Yun Yue’s.

All suggesting Li Yelai to hold back.

Seeing Li Yelai deep in thought, Cheese also remained quiet, watching him silently.

The sunlight pouring down from the cave entrance, gentle and warm, just illuminated the side of Li Yelai’s face.

His features appeared truly three-dimensional with the interplay of light and shadow, exuding a heroic aura with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

Watching this scene, Cheese’s heart involuntarily picked up its pace, a repressed surge of emotion seemed ready to burst forth.

She suddenly had an impulse, wanting to do once more what she had done before Li Yelai regained his awareness…

Would he dodge?

She took a deep breath and softly asked: “How is Xiao Yan? How is the Doll?”

Li Yelai returned from his thoughts: “Xiao Yan is doing well. After I brought back the Divine Demon Stele, she took us out shopping. But she’s gotten a bit thinner lately… She really likes the Dragon Jade you gave her. She wants to see you, wants to have a meal together, go shopping together.”

“The Doll… because of that dangerous consciousness awakening, she’s been unable to fight lately. That’s why she hasn’t come to support us. She’s also very worried about you…”

Watching Li Yelai’s expression when he mentioned the Doll, Cheese’s jealousy solidified more in her heart.

She even contemplated, if the Doll was overtaken by that dangerous consciousness, could she perhaps win him back?

No… she shouldn’t think like that. She rationally suppressed the dark thought.

She realized, it’s the Heartless Fruit seducing her, trying to instigate conflict between her and the Doll…

“It seems you get along well with the Doll…” Cheese whispered, her heart souring intensely: “One is the strongest captain, another is the Champion Agent. Really a match made in heaven, strong partners.”

Li Yelai paused, even with his head, sensed a trace of danger lurking.

Fortunately, Cheese didn’t make it difficult for him.

She stood up, walked towards Li Yelai, and said: “Let’s go, we need to find a place to camp before nightfall.”

“Alright.”

…

Meanwhile, the Jile Sect also began tracking Li Yelai.

They have cultivated in the Ten Thousand Dragon Lake for several years, having believers in the high ranks of several city-states.

This allows them to easily control the situation in the city-states.

Upon receiving news of the giant dragon’s appearance, a city-state’s army was immediately dispatched to investigate.

Upon discovering the outsider, they launched a strong attack directly!

In reality, this was sending them to their deaths.

There are indeed some Spiritual Ability Users born within these city-states.

After all, the population here grows rapidly. Some Jile believers find entertainment among them…

As years passed, the ratio of Spiritual Ability Users here is not low.

But there is still a significant gap compared to the elite Ye Boshou.

Not to mention, the majority of the army members are not Spiritual Ability Users.

Encountering a group of Ye Boshou, they would probably be devastated.

This is exactly the intention of the Jile Sect, they’re sending the army to their deaths. Most of these army members have already been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit.

If the Ye Boshous fight back, they will be parasitized.

“Using this method, the likelihood of parasitizing that Night General isn’t high.” said a Demon General: “He might already have information. He wouldn’t be killed at first sight…”

“No matter, they can’t run far, many Extraordinary Creatures deep in the mountains are also parasitized.” another Demon General said: “Unless he can bear not to make a move at all.”

“Moreover, he has already met with his companions. That provides another opportunity.”

At this moment, a Female Demon General kissed and sucked the lips of a robust man.

A few seconds later, that robust man withered silently to the ground. From his body, a branch rapidly grew, producing three crystal-clear, fragrant fruits.

The Female Demon General picked one fruit. She smiled and said: “I’ve heard the Champion Agent is extraordinarily handsome, under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, any woman with the slightest fondness for him would find it hard to resist approaching. This is an opportunity…”

“Moreover… we have a third plan.”

Several Demon Generals looked towards the lower dungeons, several official strong individuals were hanging naked on execution racks.

Regardless of gender, they were surrounded by a group of shadows.

The Female Demon General threw a Heartless Fruit down the dungeon. The shadows immediately scrambled for it.

The Demon General laughed and said: “Let’s guess, whether that Champion Agent can endure the plight of his companions?”

“A pity though, if we could capture his closest companion, the impact would be even greater.”
