Chapter 540: Chapter 254 Dead Sea Wreck_2

Wow, all acquaintances here.

Li Yelai’s gaze flickered before he asked, ”If I seek experience from them, that doesn’t count as cheating, right?”

”Of course not, that is communication between you two,” the Captain replied.

”Great, then please help me contact Chu He!” Li Yelai said.

”Certainly!”

”Are you very familiar with Chu He?” Jing Lin asked.

”Fairly, after all, he owes me quite a bit,” Li Yelai responded, ”compared to the others, I am more inclined to trust him.”

”As a major creditor, he’s probably wishing you were dead,” Jing Lin mocked.

At the same time, a white light flashed, and a figure stepped out from the light, laughing, ”You’re right, if the major creditor died, wouldn’t I make a fortune? But I don’t like taking advantage of others.”

The newcomer was none other than Chu He. His arrival was as swift as ever.

Moreover, this time, his mood seemed quite good. His spiritual energy, befitting an Overlord-level powerhouse, was jubilant.

Even with a blurred face, Li Yelai could sense his smile.

Simultaneously, Li Yelai felt a strange sense of discord, even the blank masks in the mysterious space showed some fluctuations.

Without Li Yelai touching them, the Blood God Masks suddenly appeared on both blank masks.

A strong desire to kill surged unprecedentedly. Was the power of the Blood God... reacting?

What’s going on? Li Yelai suppressed the desire to kill and restrained the two masks.

After becoming a Chaos Chosen, he had traded and made contact with Chu He, but there had been no such phenomena.

Why would Chu He now trigger the surge of the Blood God’s power?

Chu He paused too, his gaze turned to Li Yelai. Clearly, he had noticed something as well.

As an Overlord, he had caught the fleeting murderous intent.

After looking at Li Yelai for a few seconds, he suddenly turned to Jing Lin, ”Yo, isn’t that Shan Cha? Copper Face, did you invite him too?”

”Kind of, we are discussing challenging the fourth seat. The location is the Dead Sea Wreck. The Captain mentioned that you have challenged it before, so please share some details. It would help us prepare,” Li Yelai said, suppressing the tremors in his heart.

”Oh, is that so...” Chu He pondered for a moment and said, ”The main dangers within the wreck ship are threefold: the Disaster Mist Clan that parasite on the wreck, the potential existence of Taboo Items, and the ship’s own abnormal changes.”

”What changes?” Jing Lin inquired.

”Some ships have been given autonomous consciousness and may use any means to stop you. Last time, I just passed by the missile compartment, and the missiles activated on their own... They didn’t kill me but attracted a lot of the Disaster Mist Clan. Very dangerous,” Chu He said, ”So, when you act, try not to cause too much commotion. Remember to wear oxygen tanks or similar devices and avoid damaging the structure of the ship unless absolutely necessary, as it could cause a large-scale collapse.”

Li Yelai and Jing Lin nodded silently, taking note of all this. The officials of the Giant City would provide them with the necessary equipment.

”That’s about all I have to say. I was only there for three days and only reached a few places; I can’t offer you much more advice,” Chu He said.

”That’s enough, thank you,” Li Yelai responded.

”Copper Face, I have already found the Ancient Dragon you need, but hunting it successfully will require some time to prepare,” Chu He said.

”That is good news,” Li Yelai nodded.

Now that he had the reins to control corpses, as long as he had the body of a powerful Ancient Dragon, he could unleash a formidable force.

Not to mention anything else, 70% of an Ancient Dragon’s power was enough for him to overpower many formidable foes.

”There’s more...” Chu He looked at Li Yelai and calmly said, ”Let’s talk in private.”

Li Yelai nodded, and they both entered a private space.

In the private space, Chu He began, ”I am not sure what is with you, nor do I know your identity. But... if you find yourself in a dire situation, you can pray to a Great Existence. Do not step wrongly.”

Li Yelai was silent for a few seconds before speaking, ”I genuinely do not wish to be your enemy. I hope you won’t take any wrong path either.”

”Same here, Copper Face,” Chu He chuckled lowly.

Both Li Yelai and Chu He vaguely sensed something special about each other but left it unspoken.

”Then I’ll be going, see you next time. I hope you overcome the challenge,” Chu He said, and turned into white light and disappeared.

Jing Lin saw Li Yelai return to the hall alone and asked, ”Has he left? What did you two talk about? You’re so secretive.”

”There’s nothing much, but you’d better be careful of Chu He... I suspect he might be linked to the Chaos...” Li Yelai shook his head, then said, ”Alright, I’m now going to break through the Fifth Sense. You should get ready with the gear, we’ll meet up afterwards.”

”Got it!”

Subsequently, both of them left the Ark.

They didn’t know that after they both left, the Captain let out a faint laugh.

’I thought these two Chaos Chosen would start a fight on the ship...’

...

Elsewhere, Li Yelai’s consciousness returned to his room, and he opened his eyes.

”Welcome back, teammate. Did you get it?” Little Mad King asked. She was still sitting opposite Li Yelai, acting as his protector.

Li Yelai nodded, ”Yes, I got it.”

He opened the wooden chest, where a vial of pale golden Magic Potion was displayed, exuding waves of Dragon Power. Li Yelai felt as if he could see a golden giant dragon roaring before him.

And within the secret compartment of the wooden chest was some feedback from the Giant City.

Li Yelai picked up the messages and together with Little Mad King, they sorted and perused the information using the secret codes of Ye Boshou.

The Giant City had already found the approximate location of the Main Base and was dispatching teams to nearby areas, expected to arrive in five days.

They would coordinate with Li Yelai’s actions inside the Main Base, undertaking feints or assassinations.

Subsequently, there was information about Fen Xiao’s movements towards Border City No. 2; the officials had begun assembling teams.

Waiting for Li Yelai to confirm Fen Xiao’s exact actions, they could carry out a crackdown.

After reading all the intelligence, they crushed and burned the envelope.

”I thought our comrades would go for a direct feint...” Little Mad King said.

”Normal, they are right not to get close, do you know You Must Meet Strong Enemies?” Li Yelai grinned, ”Now that I am the Divine Chosen of the Church, the Church is not my enemy. But my destined strong enemies will appear before me through all sorts of coincidences or accidents...”

”You say, if I trigger You Must Meet Strong Enemies, who will appear?”

Little Mad King’s face changed slightly, but in the end, she said earnestly, ”The Blood God Sect really had bad luck letting you infiltrate.”

”Hey, chosen by the Blood God... well, it’s time to ascend to the Fifth Sense.”

...

Ten minutes later, the Main Base’s promotion hall, located deep in the mountains, was a formidable fortress, easy to defend and hard to attack.

Li Yelai took his seat at the center of the promotion hall, where various instruments around him were filled with precious medications from the Church. The walls were also engraved with various mysterious patterns.

Unlike the Giant City, the Church’s resources were given top priority to the Divine Chosen.

Even if some believers needed these medications for saving lives, it was against the rules to divert them.

And to prevent accidents during the Awakening of a Divine Chosen, servants had prepared a large number of Stabilizers, as well as various high-priced auxiliary medications.

At this moment, several people, led by River, Bai Ya, and Gongsun Craftsman, stood tensely near the Awakening Room.

While the Legion loyal to Li Yelai was stationed outside the Awakening Altar, not allowing anyone to approach and disturb the Divine Chosen’s ascension.

Inside the room, Li Yelai swallowed the Magic Potion in one gulp.

Unlike the previous few Magic Potions’s odd tastes.

This time, the potion actually tasted somewhat sweet upon entering his mouth?

Li Yelai was a bit surprised, but soon, he felt pain.

It was as if he had swallowed a handful of sharp blades, those blades cutting through Li Yelai’s mouth and throat, and down the esophagus.

”Underestimated you, did I,” Li Yelai sneered, his voice as sharp as a drawn sword.

At the same time, within the Void Realm, a projection stepped into the Soul Well!
