Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 906: Chapter 428: Blocking the Enemy’s Advance

Late at night, heavy rain poured down.

The cold rain fell, seemingly washing away the bloody scent of the war that had plagued the city for days.

And in a cave several miles away from the mines, it was pitch black.

Yet a girl’s voice drifted out softly: “If I’m not worried about exposure, my Dragon Roar could stop the rain in this area.”

The speaker, naturally, was Cheese.

Her Four Awakings ability, Dragon Roar, had multiple effects.

Disarm, repel, knockdown, fear, armor, sharpness, clear sky, heavy rain… and the rare spiritual attack, soul annihilation (spirit tear).

Each ability might seem negligible on its own, but when these abilities work together, the combat power greatly increases.

This is the strength of the Path of Babbling. If the Divine Protection Path grows stronger with more preparation time.

Then the Path of Babbling grows stronger in more complex environments.

Among them, Dragon Roar’s clear sky and heavy rain can change the weather through the Dragon Roar.

Li Yelai had heard on the ark that Dragon Roar could even summon small meteors.

“Rain is also good… It can wash away our traces and scent, making it hard for their search team to find us,” Li Yelai responded.

There were countless official powerhouses avoiding the city’s search.

“Hmm…” Cheese said softly, “It’s a good thing too.”

The rescue operation was scheduled for early morning, a time when people’s vigilance is the lowest and actions face the least resistance.

They didn’t travel too far, so they could rendezvous with their teammates at any time.

Of course, they didn’t light any lamps, as they were not far from the city, and lighting a lamp at night might cause them to be discovered early.

So, the two exchanged words in the dim cave. They were to set out in a few hours, so they rested for a short while.

“Have you packed all the candy?” Li Yelai asked. He had specially brought over fifty bags of candy, which looked quite alarming.

“Yeah. In my backpack, within the inner pocket of my windbreaker, they’re all packed,” Cheese replied: “The reserves are completely enough. Carrying them on me, my weight increased by five pounds.”

“How about the Holy Healing Potion?” Li Yelai asked again.

“This kind of thing, you should keep it for yourself,” Cheese looked at the young man beside her. With her Dark Vision, she was unaffected by the darkness and could clearly see Li Yelai’s profile.

The Holy Healing Potion is a highly sought-after extraordinary potion, capable of reattaching limbs. As long as there’s a breath left, a single injection can bring someone back to life. Its effects are so strong that even if decapitated, an injection or a dose of the potion before death could save them.

It’s said to be the crystallization of technology from a lost civilization in a Forbidden Zone.

Such potions are too rare, with very low production, and are often used to preserve high-level fighting strength.

While Cheese was pleased with Li Yelai’s importance placed on her, this was simply too precious.

For a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User like herself, it might not be quite worthwhile to use it.

“Don’t worry, for this Ten Thousand Dragon Lake support operation, the officials have approved three doses of Holy Healing Potion. I still have one in my backpack, and the one you’re holding is my personal stash, secretly given by the Hong Family,” Li Yelai said with a smile: “Besides, don’t forget, I’m the Eternal Chosen One, my life force is extremely tenacious. Even without the Holy Healing Potion, I can instantly recover from fatal injuries.”

The Holy Healing Potion is valuable, but for Li Yelai, it’s not of much use. He can recover most of his injuries with a mere Face display.

Cheese did not decline further and placed the Holy Healing Potion into her bosom.

In the darkness, Cheese gazed at Li Yelai’s profile and quietly asked, “What is my outcome in the future?”

“Why suddenly shift to this topic?” Li Yelai was taken aback, unsure why Cheese brought this up suddenly.

“You dummy, how long have we known each other…” Cheese chuckled softly: “Longer than the Doll, naturally I can sense you’re hiding something… Tell me, let me compare it with my current situation and see if it’s getting worse.”

Li Yelai was silent for a long time, then sighed and told Cheese what he knew about the two futures.

The Yunling and Scale Remains civilizations’ future paths were entirely different.

Causing Cheese to be extremely surprised.

And when she learned she died in a raid.

She fell into silence.

“Am I… did I die in the fire?” Cheese whispered: “Dying in an ugly way…”

As for dying to protect Li Yunyan and being burned to death, she wasn’t surprised.

The current her would also stand in front of Li Yunyan. She had promised Li Yelai long ago that she would take good care of his sister.

Unfortunately…

Cheese sighed inwardly, lacking the talent of the Doll. Ultimately, she failed to protect anything like a praying mantis stopping a chariot.

“That future is different from this world’s, you won’t meet that end,” Li Yelai reminded.

“Hmm… I know. The future has already changed… I won’t be burned to death, but I will serve a life sentence at Ten Thousand Dragon Lake…” Cheese asked, “And…. the Doll? What level did the Doll reach in those two future paths?”

Li Yelai paused: “Emperor…”

From a certain perspective, both the Yunling Civilization and the Scale Remains Civilization’s birth are directly related to the future Doll.

The Yunling is the Forbidden Zone Alliance, established to counter the future Fear Empress. After the Empress’s disappearance, they maintained a system of alliance and ruled the world.

While the Scale Remains Civilization was simply under the Loathing Empress’s command. Until the Empress’s fall, they absorbed her legacy and fully rose.

Officials speculate what the third future, connected by the anchor point prematurely destroyed by Li Yelai, would be like. Would it also be related to the future Doll?
