Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 171: Chapter 79 Now, I am Cavalry_2

With confusion, Starfire asked, ”Brother Ye, do you know why we’re patrolling South City?”

Li Yelai shook his head slightly, then changed the subject and asked, ”Congratulations on your Second Awakening. What ability did you awaken?”

Starfire revealed a smiling face in response, ”Blast Flame!”

No wonder Starfire was happy; Blast Flame could cause substantial explosive damage.

In Cheese’s Spiritual Language, there was Spirit Word·Blast Flame.

But Spiritual Language, in terms of power, was not as good as the original Blast Flame of the Path of Zero.

Starfire’s offensive methods had greatly improved.

”Very good, your face is redder than mine,” Li Yelai said with a smile. ”Not like me. I learned Beast Language for my Second Awakening, a universally recognized useless ability.”

”Uh...” Starfire’s face took on a strange color, thinking, could he still be alive if his luck was worse than Li Yelai’s?

Afterward, the two arrived in the South City Old District and began their lengthy patrol.

Unfortunately, for two days straight, they drove around South City’s streets and alleys in their off-road vehicle, but the Companion Beetle did not make a sound.

On the contrary, Starfire was not lightly tired, having driven for over twenty hours these two days.

Li Yelai sighed, finding that the later the Flying Gunman’s timing, the worse off that Spirit Extinguisher’s condition would be.

But there was no time to worry because on the third day, Li Yelai was taken back to the safe house by Yin Fire.

Today was the day Black Umbrella was to deliver the Summoning Item, and Li Yelai needed to enter the ark early to trade with Black Umbrella.

”You’re already familiar with this, no need for further talk. You should ask Black Umbrella if he can give more information about the Flying Gunman,” Yin Fire reminded.

Li Yelai nodded, then changed into a suit and put on Copper Face.

Afterward, the sensation of weightlessness came over him.

A few seconds later, he arrived inside the ark.

Today was not a regular assembly day.

As a result, the entire ship cabin was empty except for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai sat back in his seat and waited for about half an hour.

He then saw a shadow wrapped in white light appear; it was Black Umbrella.

”Lord Black Umbrella,” Li Yelai continued playing the role of ’Copper Face’ and offered his greeting.

”You’ve waited a while, Copper Face.” Black Umbrella’s body seemed even sturdier as he looked at Li Yelai with a chuckle, ”I’ve finished crafting your Summoning Item and even fitted it with a saddle and reins for you.”

Saying this, he lightly waved his arm, and a bell similar to the Summoning Bell appeared in front of Li Yelai.

”How should I use this?” Li Yelai inquired. Of course, he knew how to use the Summoning Bell, but he had to keep up the persona of Copper Face.

”You just need to infuse Spiritual Energy and shake the bell, then you can summon your mount,” Black Umbrella explained. ”However, since this is a piece of Spiritual Ability Equipment, it’s best not to use other Spiritual Ability Equipment powers at the same time.”

”If you twist it, I’ll be quite regretful.”

”I am quite fond of you, young man.”

Li Yelai sneered inwardly.

How could he not be fond? It was precisely because of his own ’carelessness’ that he had already discovered the location of the Golden Armor. Once the Golden Armor was wielded by a Spirit Extinguisher, he would be able to backstab effectively.

Thus, he was very generous to Copper Face, who was also Li Yelai.

After all, whatever materials were traded, in the end, they would be his. Damn, victory was in his grasp.

”May I try it out?” Li Yelai asked as he picked up the bell.

”Of course,” Black Umbrella nodded. ”You definitely should check the merchandise.”

Li Yelai infused Spiritual Energy into the bell, then shook it.

Soon, with the sound of the bell ringing crisply, a majestic figure appeared beside Li Yelai.

It was the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt!

A living Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt looked even more sacred and imposing than imagined.

Its body was covered in blue-green Scale Armor, with silver-white mane on its neck, between which faint electric arcs sparkled.

The black saddle and reins made it appear solemn and formidable.

The combination of holy and imposing temperament was perfectly embodied in it.

Li Yelai circled around the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt a few times, very satisfied.

Then, he mounted it.

Whether it was Xiang Yu’s Face or Huo Qubing’s Face, both had given him very adept riding skills.

So, the moment Li Yelai grabbed the reins, the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt’s forelegs were raised high.

The next instant, the Dragon Colt turned into a bolt of thunder, darting from one edge of the ship’s cabin to the other.

”Great!” Black Umbrella erupted in laughter, clapping his hands involuntarily.

The Thunder Dash... its speed was very fast, even faster than when Li Yelai executed Huo Qubing’s Face with Swift as the Wind.

With this. The power of ’Wind Forest Fire Mountain’ unleashed with a thunderous motion would probably be immense.

It’s just unclear... does a horse count as a vehicle... If the vehicle killer is effective against horses... Tsk...

’Now, I’m a cavalryman.’ Li Yelai thought to himself, controlling the Dragon Colt, step by step, circling around the seats and making his way back to his spot.

”Good job, Copper Face, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled in horsemanship. No wonder you’d choose such a summoning item,” Black Umbrella said with a smile: ”But your outfit doesn’t match. You should don heavy armor. Let Golden Armor get you a set of Armor, or later trade for one inside the ark.”

This was, in fact, true; Li Yelai’s current suit was naturally somewhat mismatched.

”How is it? Satisfied?” Black Umbrella asked.

”Of course, satisfied, Lord Black Umbrella’s craftsmanship is peerless!” Li Yelai praised, and dismounted to return the Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt to the bell.

”Then the transaction is...” Black Umbrella smiled and said.

”Hold on, Lord Black Umbrella.” Li Yelai spoke: ”The task you gave me has yet to see any progress. Could you possibly provide me with more information about the Flying Gunman?”

Black Umbrella was not surprised; Giant City was too vast, with a dense population. Finding a Spiritual Ability User trying their best to stay hidden would not be easy.

After a moment’s thought, Black Umbrella said, ”I don’t have any more information about the Flying Gunman. However, near South City Old Street, I have heard the sound of beetles. You could follow this lead, but it’s been such a long time that the possibility may not be great.”

South City Old Street? There were many shops and tenements there, a bustling area within the Old City District, with a significant flow of people.

Li Yelai and Starfire had patrolled there before, but the Companion Beetles hadn’t made any noise. Was the timing off?

”Thank you, Lord Black Umbrella!” Li Yelai responded.

”Mm,” Black Umbrella nodded: ”Also, don’t forget to continue gathering information on Night General.”

”Yes!”

Afterward, the figure of Black Umbrella disappeared.

Li Yelai likewise left the ark.

When he returned to the physical world, Li Yelai immediately passed the information to Yin Fire.

Then, he hurried towards South City Old Street.

To not miss the Flying Gunman, Li Yelai decided to keep a stakeout inside the car.

However, even when it was past nine at night and the street stores had all closed for the day,

Starfire had grown drowsy, yet the Companion Beetle remained silent.

Li Yelai frowned, thinking: ”Is the information outdated? I can only try again tomorrow...”

However, just at that moment.

A ’click’ sounded from Li Yelai’s sleeve.

It was the sound of the Companion Beetle rapidly flapping its wings!

Li Yelai’s expression startled, but he didn’t hear a second noise.

So, he immediately inquired through the communicator to the team hidden nearby.

”Check the surroundings immediately for anyone passing by!”

”No one; the roads within a hundred meters are under our surveillance, and absolutely no one has entered or left,” a deep voice from the communicator, a Processor, responded: ”Night General, could you have heard wrong?”

”There’s no mistake. He must have come within fifty meters of me in an instant, only to quickly leave,” Li Yelai frowned.

Was it erratic movement? Or had he crossed the area at an extremely high speed?

But how did he manage to avoid the surveillance of his colleagues?

They were all Elite Night Patrols dispatched by Yin Fire. That Flying Gunman was just a Third Awakening...

”If not on the ground, it must be underground! There must have been a subway passing below me just now; please immediately check the schedule for that subway line, and have my colleagues head to the next station right away!”

Quickly, the person on the communicator responded: ”The next station is just a kilometer away from you!”

Without waiting for Starfire’s car to startup, Li Yelai grabbed the Big Black Umbrella and leaped out of the car.

The bell in his embrace jingled.

The next second, the elegant Thunder Stepping Dragon Colt emerged into the air.

The sound of thunder echoed throughout the street!
