Netherworld Retrograde-Chapter 436 - 207: Bring the Ship Over!

The three angels had no time to resist, nor could they stir any ripples of Spiritual Energy before they were erased, dying silently.

Their bodies were thrown into the lairs of Extraordinary Creatures, left for the young to gnaw and rip apart. The tracking devices they carried were placed on the back of another Extraordinary Creature, which sprinted in a different direction.

The one who acted was a tall, slender woman.

She wielded a two-handed greatsword and wore a black trench coat, under which was a black leather suit that perfectly fit and outlined her body curves.

She moved silently, with fierce swordsmanship. Under the cover of night, she was like a grim specter, erasing the lives of the angels.

It was none other than Little Mad King.

During this time, the angel teams were pursuing Li Yelai, while Little Mad King was blocking the angel teams. ƒreewebɳovel.com

With the issuance of the Wanted order, more angels joined the hunt for Li Yelai.

Among them were friends of Mei Wu, members from two Supreme Families, and many more angels or Forbidden Zone Humans lusting for rewards.

Among these, many possessed special abilities.

Tracking by scent, reshaping traces, dominating memories.

There were even many powerful beings divining Li Yelai’s fortune.

Among these, fortune-telling was not too much concern.

Because inside Giant City, a considerable number of Spiritual Ability Users were constantly interfering with the divinations targeting Ye Boshou.

Under such interference, it was very difficult for the Forbidden Zone to accurately divine the whereabouts of Ye Boshou.

But other abilities were still dangerous. They were all tools of trackers, and no matter how well Li Yelai hid his scent or erased his tracks, traces would be discovered.

To hinder the angels from finding Li Yelai, Little Mad King repeatedly struck, killing the angel teams.

This was already the third angel team that Little Mad King had blocked.

Little Mad King wiped the blood off her greatsword and observed the marks in the cave.

"Teammate, it seems you haven’t forgotten my methods, but you’re still not careful enough," Little Mad King thought to herself. She completely destroyed the cave then vanished into the darkness once more, walking between the shadows. She had to find Li Yelai before the angels discovered and surrounded him.

In fact, her original idea in bringing Li Yelai to the Forbidden Zone was indeed to train him.

Through Li Yelai’s "You Must Meet Strong Enemies," she wanted him to rapidly grow and strive to reach the Fifth Sense within three months.

But now, too many angels were after Li Yelai’s life, even the Four-Winged Angels had joined in the pursuit.

If it were not for Champion Yang Chen’s fierce reputation, even the Overlords might take action. The situation was dire.

...

On the other hand, after a night of running, Li Yelai gradually approached the boundary of the Forbidden Zone and, crossing over a mountain range, he saw the former Silver Mountain City.

The prosperous city had been completely erased by a meteor, along with the nearby silver peaks, turning it into a vast meteor crater, with only some ruins indicating that a city once stood here.

Seeing this crater meant Li Yelai was not far from the border of the Forbidden Zone.

Li Yelai could even see, in the far distance, the Snow Mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers.

But the pursuit within the Forbidden Zone was becoming denser.

Li Yelai saw angels patrolling in the forest, forcing him to be more cautious and delve deeper into the woods.

His physical strength was great, allowing him to quickly move through the forests without using Spiritual Energy, performing feats like wall-climbing. However, this also entailed significant consumption.

The two specially-made jerkies he consumed, although made from the meat of Extraordinary Creatures with high nutritional value and satiety, were completely used up after a night of running.

This left him utterly famished, the hunger burning inside his stomach like raging flames.

The last time he felt such hunger was six years ago...

He took a deep breath, attempting to alleviate the hunger and discomfort in his stomach.

The wilds of the Forbidden Zone were not lacking in Extraordinary Creatures.

Li Yelai easily found and broke the neck of a Third Awakening Stone Pecker.

This kind of Extraordinary Creature used its sharp beak to puncture rocks, consuming the prey hidden beneath. Its bone marrow was used to produce Third Awakening Potions like Ravings, Wanxiang, and True Martial. Its feathers and beak were materials for Spiritual Ability Equipment.

If he could carry its body intact, Li Yelai could collect over fifty Merit Points as a reward.

But that was not a consideration now, Li Yelai had to eat it.

Its size was similar to an eagle, enough for a full meal for Li Yelai.

But the problem was, he could not light a fire, or it would easily attract the attention of enemies.

He could only pluck the Stone Pecker, drain and wash it clean, and slice it into thin strips with his Golden Bone Sword.

Then he heated his armor by friction, briefly scalding the strips on it mixed with some blood water and swallowing them down.

The taste of the meat strips was terrible, the gamey and bloody smell mixed together made it difficult to swallow.

Li Yelai could only reminisce about the delicious meals Doll meticulously prepared for him while hurriedly gulping down his food.

This finally eased the burning sensation in his stomach.

Soon after, Li Yelai started thinking about how to move forward.

At this moment, he was roughly one hundred eighty kilometers away from the Snow Mountains in a straight line.

It seemed not too far. If he moved at full power using Aerial Stepping, it would only take a few hours.

If he used the Shadow Army’s "Swift as the Wind," the time would be even shorter.

But the moment Li Yelai used his Spiritual Energy, the angels would surely detect him.

The safest method was still to shut down his Spiritual Energy, rely on his physical power, and skirt around all cities and main roads to reach the edge of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range, then look for an opportunity to enter the "channel."
