Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 387: Chapter 184 Executioner_2

At last, the two of them had obtained ten complete wolf beast skins and a pile of wolf beast meat.

Following that, the Little Mad King took out the Path-finding Compass.

Soon, the wolf beast blood and flesh in front of them rapidly melted away like ice and snow, disappearing in a moment.

The needle of the compass was spinning rapidly, finally stopping at a certain position.

After comparing directions, the Little Mad King said, ”Hmm, indeed, Mei Wu’s earring is in Silver Mountain City.”

The compass cannot lock onto intelligent life, but it can determine a location by locking onto objects on intelligent beings. According to intelligence, Mei Wu’s earring had never been taken off.

Then, the Little Mad King handed the compass to Li Yelai and said, ”One person cannot use it continuously, the next turn is yours. Think of what you need in your mind and offer a sacrifice, and you can get the direction of the nearest target. The clearer, the better.”

After Li Yelai took the compass, he asked, ”Have you guys tried using the compass within the Forbidden Zone?”

”Of course, the interior space of the Forbidden Zone is vast, naturally, it’s one of our search targets. Unfortunately, they are all in places we cannot reach,” the Little Mad King replied. ”The Golden Tree in the Doomsday Forest, the Dark Abyss of the Black Origin City, the Heavenly Fortress in the Heavenly Kingdom.”

Those were indeed the core areas of the Forbidden Zone; no one had been able to go there.

”However, we have not tried at this location; you might give it a try,” the Little Mad King responded.

Li Yelai nodded and thought of the substance that could extend life in his mind.

This was also an attempt of this trip into the Forbidden Zone, hoping to find the substance that could restore the Old Mad King’s life, which would be a cause for universal joy.

As Li Yelai’s thoughts were settled, the compass in his hand vibrated, and the pile of flesh in front of him mostly disappeared.

The needle was spinning rapidly, and finally, instead of pointing deep into the Forbidden Zone, it pointed in the direction of Li Yelai.

Li Yelai and the Little Mad King both were startled, and then turned around following the direction of the needle, seeing the vast snowy expanse of the Great Snow Mountain, even more magnificent than the Snow Mountain in the Forbidden Zone.

That was... the Extreme Cold Mountain Range!

”Is there life material in the Extreme Cold Mountain Range?” Li Yelai was somewhat astonished.

Surprise was also evident in the Little Mad King’s eyes, but it quickly turned into a sigh.

This truly was a huge joke, apart from the core of the Forbidden Zone, there actually existed a second life material, yet it was in the Extreme Cold Mountain Range!

It’s known that the Extreme Cold Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, even the Forbidden Zone itself does not dare to venture inside.

Even if there was life material, Li Yelai and the others couldn’t obtain it.

It’s not like they could ask the Old Mad King to retrieve it himself, right?

If the Old Mad King made a move, the King of the Restricted Zone would probably have to act immediately.

”At least, this is also good news,” the Little Mad King said. ”But we will have to plan in detail after returning from this mission.

Li Yelai nodded and put the Path-finding Compass into his chest.

...

The two returned to the deep jungle where they stored their equipment with the beast skins.

There was an abandoned hunting lodge used by Forbidden Zone Humans, which had now become a temporary base for Ye Boshou. Previously, the Ye Boshous had remodeled it and there were also some modified carts.

Afterward, the two washed off the blood-stench from their bodies and changed into the attire of Forbidden Zone Humans.

Li Yelai received a set of beige coarse hemp clothes, which were not uncomfortable to wear.

However, there were two white cloth strips hanging from the shoulders, which seemed somewhat odd.

This was the clothing style of these Forbidden Zone Humans. Perhaps due to their belief in Angels, their garments always had two white cloth strips left hanging on the shoulders or back like fluttering wings.

It must be said, it looked somewhat unsightly... Li Yelai criticized in his mind.

Then, he heard footsteps from behind.

Li Yelai turned around and saw a girl draped in wolf beast skin, wearing a light white hemp muslin dress.

The pale blue beast skin added an element of mystery and wild charm to her.

The girl wore a white muslin long dress, the fabric light, breathable, and fitting to the skin, appeared both simple and elegant. The texture of the muslin contrasted sharply with the roughness of the wolf beast skin, yet they unexpectedly blended harmoniously, displaying a different kind of beauty.

The girl’s hair was wet, with crystal droplets still hanging among the strands. She was as delicate and captivating as a lotus flower emerging from water.

Little Mad King was wiping his hair as he said, ”Let’s set off.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly, then draped himself in Wolf Beast Skin and pushed a cart out from their base, hiding supplies in a secret compartment of the cart and covering them with eight Wolf Beast Skins.

Afterward, the two of them took the cart to the edge of the jungle, and before leaving the jungle, Little Mad King took out a strangely shaped spray.

”The safe time is eight hours. You must wash off the spray within eight hours, or your personality will change drastically. If I get affected, you have to wake me with water or just violently shake me awake. If you get affected, I’ll do the same,” Little Mad King reminded.

”Then remember to go easy on me,” Li Yelai nodded—he had filled several buckets of water at the creek and placed them on the cart. There should be no problem.

After using the spray, they pushed the cart out of the jungle and onto the main road.

With the spray acting as a disguise, outsiders could only see the most plausible scenes.

Unless Li Yelai and Little Mad King did something outrageously uncharacteristic like starting a fight or streaking in public.

Otherwise, to others, the two of them appeared as ordinary passersby.

On the main road, Forbidden Zone Humans from nearby villages walked back and forth.

Their style of clothing was similar to that of Li Yelai, with only different accents, but physically they were very different.

Occasionally, a white light flickered in their eyes.

Some had humps on their backs as if they were about to grow wings.

And some people had an eyeball growing on their forehead, white feathers growing on the sides of their cheek. It looked like a large eyeball with wings.

Li Yelai noticed that those Forbidden Zone Humans with a third distinctive feature were more respected.

As many Forbidden Zone Humans greeted them politely as they passed.

When they passed by Li Yelai, he and Little Mad King also had to stop and nod in acknowledgment.

”Is it because they’re more twisted?” Li Yelai whispered.

”Yes. With feathers and eyeballs, they’re getting closer tobeing Void Realm Creatures, and they have higher chances of being chosen as servants by angels. So, they hold higher status,” Little Mad King whispered back.

”I remember angels being quite beautiful,” Li Yelai said. ”Why their bad taste?”

”That’s just the physical change of Void Realm Creatures when they come to the Physical World. If you get a chance, check out the angels’ Spiritual Ability Projection, then you’ll see what angels really look like,” Little Mad King responded.

Subsequently, Li Yelai started chatting with a Forbidden Zone Human.

The Forbidden Zone Human was a male, riding a magnificent warhorse across the road.

He turned back halfway and blocked Li Yelai’s path.

Startled, Li Yelai and Little Mad King involuntarily tensed up, ready to react.

Fortunately, the other party was not onto their identity but was interested in the Beast Skin.

He had white feathers on his cheeks and the eyeball on his forehead glowed slightly. His luxurious white robe further highlighted his status.

He was very wealthy. He pulled out a golden Feather Coin and bought the Wolf King’s Beast Skin on Li Yelai’s cart.

Feather Coins are the currency in the Forbidden Zone, and golden Feather Coins have formidable purchasing power; except for the nobles, few can use this currency for trading.

”The fur quality is very good. I like it; it’s worth it!” he checked the Beast Skin and was very satisfied, smiling at Li Yelai, ”In the future, if you can get Beast Skins of this quality, come to the Guard Knight Group in Silver Mountain City and look for me. My name is Yu Bai.”

”So, it’s Sir Knight,” Li Yelai nodded continuously, his demeanor both humble and excited.

Having practiced acting within the ark, his performance was smooth and flawless.

Yu Bai was very pleased, seeming to enjoy the respect from others.

Then, he looked at the remaining Beast Skins on the cart and smiled, ”Many important figures are coming to the city soon, even Lady Mei Wu will be here. You should seize the opportunity.”

When mentioning Mei Wu, Yu Bai’s voice was full of admiration and affection.

Mei Wu is Mei Wu! Had this Yu Bai actually met that Human traitor?

Li Yelai seized the opportunity to ask, ”Sir, why are so many important figures coming? Even Lady Mei Wu is...?”

”You don’t know? We captured three outsiders,” Yu Bai sneered. ”They are despicable outsiders but have the privilege of being overseen by Lady Mei Wu personally. They really got lucky! But for you, this is an opportunity to meet Lady Mei Wu and other distinguished figures.”

Mei Wu, is she the Executioner?
