Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1156: Chapter 567: Ascend Demon

With the guarantee of the Human Champion, the shelter temporarily set aside its hostility.

Li Ye and the Little Mad King were thus able to enter the shelter.

This South Fifteenth Shelter was of a medium size.

Originally expected to accommodate thirty thousand people, it now housed over fifty thousand.

It had an armed force of nearly two thousand and a battalion of Mountain City Guards.

Inside the shelter, there were more than forty Spiritual Ability Users.

Among them, three with the Sixth Sense, and seven Taboo Items.

The arrival of Li Ye and the Little Mad King undoubtedly raised the security level of the shelter.

Even if they didn’t trust the Little Mad King, his strength as an Overlord was undeniable.

And the Ninth Champion could be regarded as top-tier combat power among the Overlords.

This made Wei Jie breathe a silent sigh of relief; as the strongest Spiritual Ability User in the shelter, he had been under great pressure recently.

The arrival of the Champion brought him joy.

Thus, after Li Ye entered the shelter, all the problems the shelter faced were conveyed to him.

First was food; due to the presence of Hunger Horror Demons, the food reserves in the shelter depleted quickly.

Many reserved foods had spoiled, and now the shelter provided one meal a day for civilians and two meals for combat personnel.

This forced the Spiritual Ability Users and soldiers to rush out of the shelter and contend with Horror Demons for airdropped supplies.

This resulted in a significant depletion of both ammunition and manpower.

They wanted other shelters to support them with food, but those shelters faced the same problem.

Li Ye had initially planned to have the Spiritual Ability Craftsmen in the shelter extract the mysterious material from the Rakshasa King for the repair of Mad Dragon’s armor and limbs.

However, the level of the Spiritual Ability Craftsmen in South Fifteenth Shelter was not high, only the Fifth Sense.

He dared not attempt the extraction of mysterious materials from the Soul Well of the Rakshasa King.

Fearing problems that might waste this hard-won material,

and the potential ruin of a possibly emerging Supreme Weapon, or even a King Weapon!

Fortunately, there were remnants of mysterious material on the Rakshasa remains collected by Li Ye.

As it was once a King, its skeleton held notable effects.

Just like the hand bone of the Supreme Vast obtained by Li Ye in the past.

A strong individual of that tier might have special effects retained throughout their body.

However, since it wasn’t extracted from the Soul Well as a pure substance, it couldn’t be reforged or integrated into a specific weapon, nor construct the necessary Spiritual Power Veins or deploy the required Spiritual Barrier, thus not considered a complete Spiritual Ability Equipment.

It could only be modified, with strength not up to the level of similar tier Spiritual Ability Equipment.

This was something Li Ye could completely accept.

After all, he wasn’t using it as a weapon, but as an auxiliary tool for flashing and decapitation, so a weakness was acceptable.

The craftsman, after discussing with colleagues, decided to transform the hand bone blade of the Rakshasa King into a scimitar.

Uncertain if they could make a few more…

Repairing the damaged parts of Mad Dragon was relatively simple; extraordinary materials weren’t scarce in Disaster Fog, after all, there were too damn many Horror Demons.

After patches, the originally aesthetically pleasing Mad Dragon Armor crafted by the Jile Sect became somewhat ugly. It might even anger the Spiritual Ability Craftsmen of Jile to death.

And the broken limbs of Mad Dragon could not be repaired; there was no condition to send out a dozen craftsmen to hammer it currently.

It seemed that Old Ma No.8 had to start planning early.

Unsure if they could find a flying Horror Demon with a large enough size and fast enough speed.

After understanding the challenges faced by South Fifteenth Shelter, Li Ye asked the Little Mad King, “How many Imitative Heavenly Soldiers do you have left?”

The Little Mad King shook his head slightly, “My Space Bracelet is broken, only about a dozen Imitative Heavenly Soldiers were recovered.”

“I have just over forty Imitative Heavenly Soldiers left on me.” Li Ye sighed, “Not enough…”

He had intended to send the Heavenly Soldiers outside to scavenge airdrops and hunt Horror Demons.

But the Heavenly Soldier Furnace was left by Li Ye in the Third Dark Side Heaven, so with just the two of them carrying the Heavenly Soldiers, they could at best alleviate some pressure off the shelter, reducing casualties.

They would still need to prioritize breaking through the ‘point,’ connecting the two spaces together again.

Li Ye handed the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers over to the shelter, letting them adjust the orders of the Heavenly Soldiers themselves.

Then, he inquired about the situation of other shelters, whether they knew of other members of the Champion Team One, and the status of the Doll.

The answers were not very good.

Although Champion Team One and three thousand Human Army troops advanced into the Disaster Fog, bringing nearly a hundred thousand Imitative Heavenly Soldiers. Even though divided by the Dark Side Triple Heaven, they scattered in various places.

Yet to a large extent, it alleviated the pressure on the human side.

However, the quantity of Horror Demons was overwhelming, enough to suffocate people.

Currently known, over four million people were swallowed into the Disaster Fog. Thus, humans had to face the corresponding number of Horror Demons.

Several shelters had been forcibly breached, and the remaining shelters were ravaged by hunger and plague.

The combat power on the human side was declining.

After investigation, the humans discovered that,

Only one of the same type of Horror Demon could appear.

They were somewhat unique.

If two persons feared the same thing, only one Horror Demon would manifest.

Otherwise, Li Ye could expect to see a dozen Insect Masters… that would be a nightmare.

And if the majority feared the same thing, once one Horror Demon died, the Disaster Fog would quickly spawn a second generation of the same Horror Demon.

For instance, the Plague Horror Demon and the Hunger Horror Demon had been confirmed killed several times but continued to emerge.
