Underworld Retrograde - #219 - Chapter 216 Human Village

On the towering and silent Snow Mountain, a figure walked with a gun. The red oil lamp swayed in the snow-white mountains, emitting the only source of heat in the snow-white mountains. Create a safe space in the dangerous and deadly snowy mountains.

Li Yelai used Air Step and quickly fell from the slope of the snow-capped mountain.

After all, it was the Snowy Mountains, and even with taboo items like flaming oil lamps, Li Yelai felt thrilling. If the spiritual barrier is not left alone, it will be frozen, and then thawed or even ignited by the oil lamp.

The lower level of the Snow Mountain is enough to make Li Yelai, a four-sense psychic, feel terrifying. I really don’t know what kind of terrifying situation he will encounter if he is on the top of the mountain?

As the place of decisive battle between the strongest humans and the restricted area, there are too many mysteries there. But in the end, it added a natural barrier to the heavenly realm.

“It’s really a natural line of defense.” Li Yelai complained, but he was also a little envious.

If the giant city was protected by a special Jedi like the Snowy Mountains, it would be difficult for the restricted area army to break into it, and they would all turn into ice sculptures.

Unfortunately, Li Yelai currently does not have the ability to take away these dangerous and special snowflakes, and there is no need.

The chill contained in the snowflakes is terrifying, but after leaving the Snowy Mountains for a while, the chill dissipates and the snowflakes become no different.

Otherwise, officials and restricted areas would have taken advantage of this extremely cold snowflake to fight.

However, if Li Yelai was promoted to the second ring in the Ark, he might be able to try to take away and save these snowflakes using the authority of the Ark. Use it as a trump card when encountering.

“The biggest secret is still at the top of the mountain.” Li Yelai thought to himself, and he had landed at the bottom of the snow-capped mountain valley.

Immediately, he controlled his spiritual energy to reduce the firepower of the oil lamp a little. After all, it is a forbidden object, and it is still somewhat risky to use. If the firepower is too high, Li Yelai will spontaneously combust. If the firepower is too low, he will be frozen to death by the snowy mountains. Li Yelai could only control the balance of firepower while lowering himself as low as possible.

After Li Yelai entered a valley in the Snowy Mountains, he held a gun and took out a pathfinding compass from his arms. Its pointer was pointing in a certain direction in the Snowy Mountains.

Li Ye came to identify the direction and found that he was on the same road.

Li Yelai and Xiao Kuangwang had previously used a pathfinding compass to locate living matter, and its location was in the Snowy Mountains.

Now, Li Yelai just needed to hold the forbidden fire oil lamp and cross the snowy mountains.

That would be a good time to try to find that unknown life substance in the Snowy Mountains.

If we could directly find living matter, everyone would be happy.

The greatest pressure on the giant city was the exhaustion of the old mad king, the most powerful and leader.

As a psychic king, he should have a long life. At least humans have never heard of a king who died of old age. I have never even heard of a Supreme Being or an Overlord who died of old age. They lived a long life.

And because the Old Mad King’s curse consumes lifespan, every time he uses his ability, a large amount of lifespan will be consumed. Years of fighting have almost burned out his long life, and he is almost dying of old age.

According to the internal information revealed by the Little Crazy King, the Old Crazy King only has two years left at most.

Two years later, mankind will lose a most powerful king, and the situation will completely deteriorate.

If we could obtain powerful life substances, we could extend the life of the old mad king. Then human pressure will be greatly reduced.

If he couldn’t find it directly, then at least Li Yelai could determine the general direction and range. The officials will naturally find a way after returning.

As long as the old mad king does not fall, humanity will still have time to grow.

Li Yelai was thinking in his mind and headed towards the pointer along the lowest point of the valley.

The Snowy Mountains are the real forbidden area of ​​life. Whether it is a giant city or a forbidden area, everyone wants to explore the Snowy Mountains. After all, the Snowy Mountains were the battlefield where humans once fought against the forbidden area. There may be some very powerful weapons or some forbidden objects.

But no matter how strong or weak the explorer is, he will never come back. Those who came back found nothing.

The reason why officials speculated that the flame oil lamp in Li Yelai’s hand could operate at a height of less than 500 meters. It is the data that was tried or obtained that year.

As a result, Li Yelai walked through a section of the valley and couldn’t see any living creatures except for the white snow-capped mountains and the occasional exposed mountain. There is no vegetation, no birds, only the cold wind that blows from time to time.

It fits the description of “birds fly away from thousands of mountains, and people disappear from thousands of paths”.

Fortunately, the official prepared a pair of sunglasses for him, otherwise he would have snow blindness sooner or later.

Li Yelai walked alone in the lonely valley for five hours. He even replaced a bottle of rock marrow fuel, but he came to a dead end.

It is not accurate to say that it is a dead end. It should be said that we have reached the junction of two mountain ranges. If we continue to follow the pointer, we will be blocked by mountains hundreds of meters high.

Li Yelai frowned and looked at the high mountains. As a psychic, it was not difficult to cross the mountains. All he had to do was step hard in the air. Except for those who are afraid of heights, most psychics can fly over mountains with ease.

But in this weird snowy mountain, it is indeed dangerous to rise rashly.

The higher you go up the Snowy Mountains, the cooler the temperature becomes. As strong as an overlord, there are also cases of being frozen to death.

Therefore, Li Yelai did not try to cross the mountain range, but continued to follow the valley under the mountain range and began to circle. And look for lower mountains to climb over.

However, after walking in this valley for another hour, Li Yelai finally saw something special.

Not vegetation or living things, but some discarded equipment. The most conspicuous among them is some kind of orange-red object.

Li Yelai took a closer look with a gun and a light on it, only to find that it was a large orange-red backpack.

The backpack seemed to have been cut open by some kind of sharp blade, and its contents were scattered all over the place. Mountain picks, sleeping bags, hunting knives, some large-caliber ammunition, and some food. These were buried in the not-so-deep snow.

“A human psychic who entered the snow mountain?” Li Yelai frowned. It was difficult to judge what kind of force the other party belonged to just by looking at these supplies. But it’s definitely human.

Whether it is the creatures from Black Source City or the Kingdom of Heaven, they all have their own unique techniques, which are easy to distinguish.

However, what Li Yelai really cared about was the blood stains on his backpack.

how? Is this human psyker under attack?

There are no living creatures in the Snowy Mountains, and even extraordinary creatures will not come here.

Are they going to form a team and enter the Snowy Mountains, and then attack each other?

Or did you meet the enemy by chance? Then this is too much of a coincidence and impossible.

Li Ye looked at the scattered objects and speculated that he had been attacked at a high place, causing the backpack to fall.

Afterwards, Li Yelai checked around again and turned over the snow, but found no body.

It’s a pity that the detective is not here, otherwise with his spiritual eye ability, he could see many details and even directly see what happened.

Under what circumstances would psykers entering the Snowy Mountains attack each other?

Could it be that something good was discovered, and then there was internal strife over the uneven distribution of the spoils?

This is a bit like a wild psyker, or a scavenger. However, it’s unclear how they withstand this extreme cold.

“Did he fall when he was being chased above?” Li Yelai thought, looking up at the height of the hillside above. Visual inspection should be about the same as the height of the cave exit. Then he used Air Step and got closer.

As the altitude rose, the surrounding chill became more intense. Li Yelai activated the fire oil lamp to dispel the chill.

Fortunately, as we approached the hillside, the oil lamp still had some power left, which meant that we were still a little far away from the limit.

After Li Yelai successfully climbed the hillside, he did not see any bodies. Therefore, he did not linger, but continued to move forward along the pointer after injecting new rock marrow fuel.

Before the sky gradually darkened, Li Yelai landed at the bottom of the new valley and found a suitable hole in it.

Li Yelai ate a few pieces of dried meat in the pothole, put the oil lamp aside and began to close his eyes and rest.

However, just an hour after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

‘.rise’

The sound came very suddenly, as if it was coming from his ears. Li Yelai felt the hairs all over his body stand up. He grabbed the black gold dragon pattern gun and looked around cautiously. But no one was found.

“Is it the reverberation again?” Li Yelai frowned. He was not afraid of ghosts. Even if there were ghosts, they would be frozen to death by the snow-capped mountains. This is an extremely cold place where even spiritual energy can be frozen.

This sound should be the reverberation in the snowy mountains. It is said that the voices of those strong men who died in the snowy mountains are also frozen, and occasionally echo in the wind and snow.

It’s quite scary.

Li Yelai also had trouble falling asleep after being woken up. Then he set off again.

With his physical strength, he didn’t need to rest for too long.

Two hours after setting off again, Li Yelai discovered that the pointer of the pathfinding compass had shifted significantly.

Li Yelai’s heart moved. After continuing to move along the valley, he found that the pointer changed more and more.

This made him a little happy, and he knew in his heart that he was close to the target point. When you find a lower hillside, use the air step to jump up. Continuing to move in the direction of the pointer, we crossed two more valleys in succession.

When the sky lit up, Li Yelai could roughly determine where the target was.

“Very good. If my orientation perception is okay, that location is not far from the border of the Snowy Mountains, at most three hours away.” Li Ye said to himself. His sense of direction is indeed very good. After all, he has the orientation sensing skills brought by Huo Qubing’s facial makeup.

However, as he approached his destination, Li Yelai saw a body under the new valley.

It was the body of a woman in her thirties, and her death was extremely miserable.

Apparently, she was frozen in mid-air and then crashed into the valley, causing her body to be broken into two pieces.

Moreover, the strange thing is that there is a smile on her fallen head. She is wearing relatively thin clothes, and the hamstrings of her legs have been cut off. What’s even weirder is that her belly is still bulging.

Is she a pregnant woman?

Li Yelai frowned. Why did a pregnant woman with broken hamstrings in both legs come to the Snowy Mountains?

What is this weird thing? Someone specially brought pregnant women into the snow-capped mountains?

Could it be some evil ritual?

Li Yelai thought about it and stepped forward to collect the woman’s body and burn it. He couldn’t bear to see this miserable situation.

However, when he got closer, he discovered that the woman’s bulging belly had split open, and a slender hand full of blood stretched out from it, but it was frozen forever inside.

This made Li Yelai feel a chill, because the palm was deformed and withered, definitely not a human baby!

“Is it really an evil ritual? The thing that was to be born from her belly was frozen directly and died in the mother’s womb. Damn it, this makes me, the part-time Chaos God Chosen, feel sick.” After Li Yelai hesitated for a moment, he still put the woman The corpses were collected and lit with burning oil lamps.

They’re all human, give her a ride.

However, within the raging fire, there was a sound.

‘Finally, I can die.’

It was obviously a woman’s voice, perhaps the voice before death turned into a remnant, and Li Yelai actually heard a hint of relief from it.

relief? Could it be that she committed suicide?

Li Yelai frowned, and the strange situation made him more cautious.

Then, continue to approach the direction of the pointer.

When he crossed a hillside again, he determined his target.

Li Yelai moved back and forth on the hillside and found that the hands were pointing to a towering snow-capped mountain almost five kilometers away.

“Is that there? It’s not far. I hope the height doesn’t exceed the limit.” Li Yelai thought to himself.

Immediately, he climbed over the hillside and fell into the valley, starting to approach the mountain peak.

However, when Li Yelai advanced about a kilometer in the valley, he felt that the temperature around him began to rise, and Li Yelai even felt a sense of warmth.

Li Yelai didn’t care at first. After all, the terrain in the valley was lower and the temperature would be higher. This was why Li Yelai walked along the bottom of the valley.

However, after turning around the foot of a mountain, Li Yelai was startled.

Because, in front of him, there was actually a jungle with dense vegetation, and Li Yelai even saw a stream.

“Could it be that I have already left the Snow Mountain?” Li Yelai was really surprised, and he immediately looked into the distance.

If it weren’t for the snow-capped mountain peaks directly ahead, Li Yelai would have thought that he had escaped from the extreme cold mountains.

“It’s still in the Snowy Mountains. The temperature here is very high. Is it because the terrain is low enough?”

This is a huge discovery.

The official can set up a stronghold here. In the valley surrounded by deadly snow-capped mountains, the restricted area will be difficult to detect!

But why is there such a place?

There seems to be no essential difference in terrain height from other valleys.

Li Yelai was thinking in his mind, and remembering the woman’s body he saw before, Li Yelai entered the jungle cautiously.

He found that the vegetation here was ordinary, but the ground contained some heat.

Geothermal? Was it the heat that created this valley?

Li Yelai thought to himself and moved on.

A few minutes later, he passed through the jungle, but was shocked to see farmland and houses in the distance.

It was a village located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

There are farmlands, fruit trees, houses, and children running in the fields.

Is there actually a human village inside the Snowy Mountains?

Is the Peach Blossom Spring real? (End of chapter)
