Underworld Retrograde - #221 - Chapter 218 The back figure in the cave
The middle-aged man in a black cloak waved a red wooden scepter, releasing a strong storm.
Originally, this kind of attack had no effect on Li Yelai.
If the wind blade was naturally dangerous, Li Yelai could force his way through the storm.
But in the environment of the Great Snow Mountain, the spiritual energy in the storm was quickly frozen by the terrible low temperature, thus turning into dangerous ice spikes or ice blades, wrapped in the storm and dangerous snowflakes, and smashed towards Li Yelai madly.
Li Yelai’s Yuanlong scales were bombarded continuously, and some ice spikes even penetrated the scales and spiritual energy barriers and pierced into Li Yelai’s body. The terrifying low temperature was released in the flesh, causing Li Yelai’s body to suffer severe hypothermia, and his originally fractured left arm gradually lost consciousness, and his skin even began to turn black.
In the special environment of the Great Snow Mountain, the power of the storm increased several times!
In addition, these withered people could not be killed, even if Li Yelai was injured in the arm, he was at a disadvantage. With an injured arm, he could not use the Red Thunder Dragon Claw or the Red Mace or the Golden Bone Sword normally. This put him in a dangerous situation during the siege.
Li Yelai retreated while swinging the dragon spear in his hand. The spear shot out like a dragon and fiercely pierced through the neck of a withered person.
Then, he lifted him up with one hand and smashed the second withered person’s head heavily. Smashed it directly!
The two withered people were killed instantly, and their bodies rolled down the hillside, but they stood up together after a few seconds. Resurrected on the spot!
The withered man whose head was smashed by Li Yelai again, while growing branches from the wound to repair his body, said: “Why refuse? The sacred tree can give you an immortal body like us.”
“Yes, you have seen it too. Our bodies are immortal and we can immerse ourselves in wonderful dreams.” The withered man whose neck was pierced on the other side said: “What you see is true. We are usually so carefree.”
“You are so powerful. If you join us, your status will never be low!” The middle-aged man even promised: “You may be able to replace me.”
Li Yelai learned about the ability of the sacred tree from their bewitching. The so-called sacred tree seems to have the ability to transform the human body and create illusions.
The flesh is immortal, but it will become a half-man, half-tree ghost like them.
At the same time, the sacred tree can deceive perception, thereby creating a wonderful illusion to dominate. In the illusion, they are as carefree as the Peach Blossom Spring that Li Yelai saw. Indulge in pleasure. Perhaps, a considerable number of villagers are normal humans or angels dominated by illusions.
But all this must have a price, otherwise the pregnant woman would not have tried to escape from the village and commit suicide.
Flesh and blood conversion, feeding, sacrifice. Several words flashed through Li Yelai’s mind.
“Ridiculous, I’m not so poor that I have to survive by dreaming!” Li Yelai responded indifferently, and then looked at the middle-aged man in a black cloak: “Where did you get this coat?”
In the fight just now, Li Yelai noticed that the black cloak had some familiar effects.
Although there were some changes in appearance, it was definitely Ye Bushou’s black windbreaker!
In the violent snowstorm, the middle-aged man’s faint smile came: “It doesn’t fit well, so I improved it. What? Is it your compatriot?”
Li Yelai’s eyes became colder and colder, which meant that Ye Bushou had also been harmed by them.
In this case, Li Yelai no longer hesitated. Even if it would cause a big avalanche, he had to fight hard!
In any case, these bastards had to be killed!
The middle-aged man and others also keenly felt a sense of danger.
However, just as Li Yelai was about to use the Blood River God’s Selected Mask, a jade-like hand bone in the box he was carrying burst into a strong and fiery wave, destroying all the terrible coldness in Li Yelai’s body.
That was the hand bone of the Vast Supreme!
Faintly, Li Yelai saw a figure walking out from in front of him. He was tall and straight, walking between heaven and earth, a peerless hero, with endless power blooming in every move.
Li Yelai couldn’t see his face clearly, but he saw that there seemed to be stars in his eyes.
He looked up at the top of the snowy mountain, and seemed to be a little wary and hostile. He raised his left hand, and a black flame ring appeared about one meter away from Li Yelai. It blocked the terrible ice spikes and blizzard for Li Yelai, isolating the cold that could freeze him.
That was the Black Prison Flame Prison!
Li Yelai was shocked, and the hand bone seemed to be startled by some power on the top of the mountain.
Even though it was dead, it still showed hostility to its former enemy. After being affected by the power of the Great Snow Mountain, it burst out with a higher level of power.
Of course, it was also extracting Li Yelai’s spiritual energy.
This undoubtedly created an opportunity for Li Yelai. The Fiery Oil Lamp had reached its limit, and Li Yelai could no longer retreat up the mountain.
At this moment, with the protection of the Supreme Hand Bone, Li Yelai was able to climb higher on the snow mountain. The limit height increased!
Seeing this, Li Yelai was very surprised and immediately gave up the idea of dying with the enemy, and immediately jumped to a higher point on the slope of the snow mountain.
This made the faces of the dozen or so withered people who came to chase him change. Although their bodies were special and seemed not to die, they also had limits. If they moved higher, they would be frozen to death. They, like Li Yelai before, had reached the limit of endurance.
At this moment, Li Yelai suddenly increased the altitude, and they could only watch Li Yelai rush up the snow mountain, and dared not continue to chase him.
“What should I do?” One of the Blighters tried to attack, but his spiritual energy was instantly frozen, so he had to ask: “Just let him go?”
The middle-aged man said: “It doesn’t matter. Even if you have the trump card, you can’t reach a higher height, just like the man six years ago. What can you do if you are seriously injured and escape to the snowy mountain? It’s not like never again Couldn’t come down?”
“We also lost a lot that time. None of those who pursued us came back.”
“Anyway, if he comes with us, he won’t die. If he climbs the snowy mountain, he will definitely die. He’s really stupid!”
“It’s a pity that a human with such full energy and blood. If the transformation is successful, the efficiency will be higher than that of ordinary villagers. It will also last longer!”
“I just pity his equipment. He seems to have several psychic weapons, especially that spear! The best of the best.” Some withered people sighed: “And this kind of good thing will be buried in the snow mountains. No one can get it. What a selfish guy. He’s going to die, so he might as well keep it.”
“He is really strong. He can still carry on even with a broken hand. If he was in his prime, we might not be able to compete with him.”
“Maybe he is a famous genius outside, but here, he will still be chased and beaten by us.” A withered person chuckled, and his torn arm was recovering quickly.
Indeed, no matter how powerful the genius is, facing the immortals, they can only flee in panic.
They can make countless mistakes, but as long as the opponent makes one mistake, the whole game will be lost.
This also allowed them to defeat powerful enemies many times, including teams of angels and teams of human psykers.
The middle-aged man raised his hand to calm the storm and said, “Okay, let’s leave two people here to watch, while the rest return to the village with me. Don’t let any spare villagers escape again.”
“yes.”
On the other side, Li Yelai, who was surrounded by black fire, rushed far away in one breath and stopped when he reached a gentle slope halfway up the snow-capped mountain.
He slowly let out a long breath of relief.
Frustrated!
Li Yelai had never been so frustrated when he was chased by the Angel Legion in the penalty area!
Now, his left arm is disabled, his face mask cannot be used, he has too many trump cards that he failed to use, and as a result, he was chased and beaten by a group of undead people.
“When I go back, I will bring people to destroy you! You are such beasts!” Li Yelai cursed in a low voice and then looked around.
This height is already very terrifying. It is almost 700 meters away from the ground, directly exceeding the limit of the burning oil lamp.
If it hadn’t been for the low temperature isolated by the Black Hell Flame Prison, Li Yelai would have been frozen to death instantly, and would have been forced to make a forced transaction with Mr. Ying.
But now, Li Yelai has barely escaped the enemy’s pursuit.
Li Yelai checked his backpack and found that a large amount of supplies had been lost during the battle. A lot of food and medicine were lost, and only two bottles of more than a dozen bottles of rock marrow fuel were left. Even the Jing family’s elixir was dropped there.
Fortunately, the forbidden items and psychic weapons were not lost.
“What a damn thing.” Li Yelai sighed, not expecting to encounter such a thing.
Immediately, he glanced at the compass and found that the needle was still pointing forward.
“Are you actually at this height?” Li Yelai raised his eyebrows. If he hadn’t been accidentally attacked, he wouldn’t have been able to trigger the ability of the Supreme Hand Bone.
It would have been impossible to reach such a height, but now it is barely a blessing in disguise.
Immediately, Li Yelai continued to follow the pointer and walked deeper into the snow mountain.
If he could, he would take that living substance away now.
As for what would be on the top of the snow mountain, although Li Yelai was curious, he had no intention of investigating.
There is quite a lot of spiritual energy extracted from the bones of the Supreme Hand. Li Yelai can still maintain it with great efforts. If he goes up higher, the temperature will be even lower, and he may not be able to bear it anymore.
Moreover, although it is a vast and supreme power, it may not reach the top of the mountain with only one hand bone.
So, Li Yelai continued to move forward on the gentle slope. When he walked a certain distance, he found that the compass needle had changed significantly.
I understand that I am close to my target.
Then he accelerated forward and saw a cliff, and the pointer pointed somewhere on the cliff.
Not in a higher position, yay!
Li Yelai felt happy and continued to walk towards the cliff along the pointer, and the height also dropped.
However, a resounding sound was suddenly heard on the cliff.
This time, Li Yelai really heard what the reverberation said.
Although hoarse and unpleasant, as if his throat had been torn, he could barely make a sound.
‘sorry’
“I’m sorry? Does this reverberation have anything to do with living matter?” Li Yelai thought to himself and continued to move forward.
But he saw the blood stains left on the steep mountain path of the cliff. The blood was instantly frozen, but because it was not covered with snow, it remained in the corner of the cliff forever.
Li Yelai looked at the blood stains and couldn’t help but think.
Have humans ever been here? This height?
Li Yelai felt that although the height of the cliff was lower than that of the hillside, it was still more than 600 meters high. You can’t even come here with a burning oil lamp, right?
Li Yelai looked at the pointer again and found that the direction was similar to the direction where the blood stains spread.
“Did a certain human being come here with living matter?” Li Yelai thought to himself, and continued to move forward, deeper into the cliff.
Afterwards, Li Yelai saw more blood and a corpse.
Not humans, but Blighters!
He fell on the steep rocks of the cliff, and his body was severed by some kind of sharp weapon. However, his injuries were not repaired, and he died completely.
It seems that at this altitude, the Blighter who claims to be immortal is also mortal.
However, the Blighter actually took the risk to catch up here? Is it to hunt down a certain human being?
After Li Yelai thought about it, he moved on. But I saw more corpses. The corpse of the Blighted One.
Including the first one, a total of four Blighters are chasing here. But they were all beheaded.
At the same time, Li Yelai also saw a broken knife. The blade was split in the middle. The upper part was still on the head of a withered person, and the handle had not yet reached.
Judging from the blade of the upper part, it seems to be a straight-edged sword such as Huanshou Dao or Tang Hengdao.
“It’s very strong.” Li Yelai couldn’t help but praise after inspecting the corpses of the withered ones. They all died by the sword.
That strong human being killed these withered ones all by himself, so he was certainly strong!
Immediately, Li Yelai saw the blood stains extending into the depths and saw a cave.
At the same time, the pointer also points to the cave.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yelai walked into the cave. He lit the oil lamp and illuminated the dark cave.
After entering the cave for more than ten steps, he saw a withered man lying on his back on the ground. He was also wearing some kind of black cloak, but a broken ring-headed knife penetrated directly through his chest.
Judging from the blood stains on his body, the strong human being jumped on him to kill him.
Li Yelai continued to walk deeper into the cave and heard the reverberation again.
This time the reverberation was extremely clear.
‘sorry’
‘I can not go back’
‘Xiaolian.’
At the same time, Li Yelai also saw a figure leaning against the cave wall.
He was wearing a blood-stained black assault jacket, with his back to Li Yelai, sitting against the wall, his right hand hanging down weakly, and his left hand huddled in the corner as if protecting something. The right leg was severed and the blood was frozen like ruby.
He has turned into an ice sculpture.
For some reason, Li Yelai suddenly felt a sense of fear, preventing him from moving forward.
Li Yelai looked at the compass again, and it was indeed pointing to that back figure.
But for some reason, his arms were shaking.
He was obviously so heroic, killing countless human enemies.
At this moment, he suddenly became afraid.
He was silent and approached the figure step by step.
He came to the front of the back figure, when the flame of the burning oil lamp illuminated the figure’s face.
However, Li Yelai seemed to have all his strength taken away in an instant, and he saw a face crying bitterly.
The man looked quite handsome, but at the last moment of his life, his expression was fixed in pain and despair.
He held a magical fruit tightly in his left hand, which was as white as jade and contained powerful vitality. He was unwilling to let go until death came.
But Li Yelai ignored the spirit fruit and stared blankly at the man’s face.
His lips quivered as he recognized the man in front of him, the man he once loved and then hated so much.
“Li Qiong.” (End of this chapter)
