Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 111: Chapter 51: Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt

Li Yelai brought the intelligence needed by the officials, and he also benefited from it.

This was officially condoned; those who unexpectedly desired information about the Mad King were handled by Li Yelai to his own benefit.

The only regret was that he hadn’t managed to track down the rest of the killers.

Especially Wolf Map, who had already left No.3 Border City. It was uncertain if he could be found in No.2 Border City.

If they could continue to capture the Ark Chosen Ones, then the officials could gather more intelligence.

When Yin Fire learned about Li Yelai’s experiences, he couldn’t help but laugh, ”Investigating yourself, you could just provide any information and still be considered to have completed the mission.”

”How about... my Face?” Li Yelai asked.

After a moment of thought, Yin Fire nodded, ”That could work. Your Face is unique, and we are all intentionally concealing your abilities. But as your strength grows, it will be difficult to hide. It might be better to reveal it yourself and gain some benefits.”

”I thought the same; next time, I’ll share the secret of the Face with Black Umbrella,” Li Yelai nodded.

Yin Fire then asked, ”Speaking of which, Summoning Items are quite rare. It’s rare to be able to create a Summoning Item, do you have any ideas?”

Li Yelai pondered. If it were about combat prowess, naturally, he would need a powerful Extraordinary Creature, but once turned into ashes and summoned, the Summoning Items were much weaker.

Like Li Yelai’s Double Blade Knight, which in life was a Knight from the Forbidden Zone with a strength around Fourth Awakening.

It was said that there were thousands of Knights of such strength within the Forbidden Zones, just thinking about it could make one feel powerless.

Now, as a Summoned Item, it could only be considered as Second Awakening combat capable.

With such a restriction, it wasn’t a good value.

Spending a large amount of Merit Points to have comrades from Ye Buxiu hunt down an Extraordinary Creature of Fourth Awakening strength.

But the Summoning Item he could produce was only of Second Awakening strength.

It was definitely a loss.

”I don’t need combat prowess; I need an Extraordinary Creature with support abilities,” Li Yelai said.

Yin Fire nodded, ”Indeed, otherwise it’s too much of a loss. The points needed for Ye Boshou to hunt a specific prey would be enough for you to directly buy a Grade B Spiritual Ability Equipment or a bottle of Magic Potion. I’ll take you later to the headquarters’ Recycling Department. They have some models and data of Extraordinary Creatures; you might find what you need.”

After Yin Fire finished his work, the two left the secret room,

headed to the Recycling Department located on the second floor above ground at the headquarters.

The Ye Boshou would often bring back the bodies of Extraordinary Creatures to Giant City, thereby earning a large amount of Merit Points.

Those bodies of Extraordinary Creatures would then be studied and disassembled to serve as sources of material for Spiritual Ability Equipment or Magic Potions, to be purchased and consumed by other Processors.

Recycling Department was the official department designated to verify those Extraordinary Creature bodies.

As soon as Li Yelai entered, he saw a huge exhibition hall and numerous models of Extraordinary Creatures.

He also saw Processors and clerical staff walking back and forth.

”This place holds all the Extraordinary Creatures we have recorded,” Yin Fire explained. ”Take a look, but don’t choose those that are too rare; otherwise, you wouldn’t know how many years you’d be waiting.”

Li Yelai nodded, surveying the models in the exhibition hall.

There were Flying Dragons with wide wings, giant beasts with muscular bodies, and oddly shaped plants.

Each model was accompanied by specific data of the corresponding Extraordinary Creature.

For example, the Leia Flying Dragon.

Body length: 14-16 meters

Height: 3.6-4.2 meters

Weight: 6-6.7 tons

Danger Level: Fifth Sense

Abilities: Flame Dragon Breath, Dragon Carriage, Poison Tail

Weakness: Eleventh section of the tailbone

Source: outer northwest of the Doomsday Forest in the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone.

Acquirable materials: Flying Dragon Bone, Poison Tail Stake, Dragon Tail Bone...

Magic Potion Path available: Reset, Ravings, Wanxiang, Netherworld.

”These are all the intelligence collected by the Ye Boshou during their ventures,” Yin Fire said, ”so that when we encounter these monsters, we can respond effectively. Do you want to choose this one?”

”Not suitable,” Li Yelai said after checking the price and inevitably shook his head; the price of such a level of Extraordinary Creature was too expensive and beyond reach.

Moreover, bringing out such a body might make Black Umbrella suspect Li Yelai’s identity.

An Extraordinary Creature equivalent to the Fifth Sense was not something an ordinary Spiritual Ability User organization could easily capture.

Unless, under the watchful eyes of the Ark’s people, Li Yelai gradually climbed to High-level Perception.

Otherwise, directly bringing out the Flying Dragon’s body was tantamount to revealing his identity as an undercover agent.

Otherwise, Li Yelai really wanted to try being a Dragon Knight.

If he could summon a giant dragon, even if he couldn’t win a fight, he could still ride the dragon to escape.

Suddenly, an idea struck Li Yelai, Mounting?

Indeed, the Huo Qubing Face had brought Li Yelai the capabilities of the Shadow Army and also granted him powerful mounting abilities.

Since seeking a Summoning Item for combat prowess wasn’t cost-effective, then he should aim for speed.

Summoning a mount would enhance Li Yelai’s own combat capabilities!

Pondering this, Li Yelai asked, ”Are there any suitable Extraordinary Creatures for mounting? Preferably with sufficient speed!”

”Mounting?” Yin Fire seemed surprised, then nodded, ”Let’s go!”

Soon, the two came to a corner of the exhibition hall.

The Extraordinary Creatures here looked much more ordinary, mainly lacking the giant stature of the Flying Dragons.

”Using Extraordinary Creatures as mounts, the officials are also studying, but except for those possessing Beast Language or strong controlling abilities, it’s generally difficult for others to control Extraordinary Creatures, who knows when they might get bitten. However, there’s no such risk with Summoning Items. If you are looking for a mount, it’s best to choose one here,” Yin Fire suggested.
