Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 936: Chapter 444

‘They escaped!’

The One-eyed Abyss Dragon was furious, the strands of hair of the nearby human woman spreading endless fear.

Even it, the overlord of the waters, dared not forcefully break through because of the fear.

By the time it finally found a way to counteract the fear and cleared away those Imitative Heavenly Soldiers,

the power of fear on the strands had dissipated, and Cheese was already long gone.

This made it extremely angry, from its perspective.

It was originally reigning over the Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, living in utter leisure.

It was the guardian god of several villages, receiving a good harvest of blood food every year.

And humans, for the sake of profit and ambition, would ask it for assistance, it would gladly devour more blood food, waging wars alongside humans.

It and other ‘guardian gods’ would control the human population while enjoying stable advancement.

After all, troublesome Spiritual Ability Users would emerge among humans, their flesh was the most delicious and could accelerate the growth of Extraordinary Creatures. Of course, this also meant they were uncontrollable.

Once, a sacrificial victim escaped and advanced to the Fifth Sense within three years, causing it great trouble, but ultimately, they too became blood food.

It should have continued growing leisurely on the first layer.

However, in one moment of curiosity, it was seriously injured by that human, losing an eye.

It was then taken to this bizarre place.

Not only did it suffer attacks from residual sound avatars in the ruins, but it was also threatened and pursued by the local Extraordinary Creatures, fleeing in disgrace through rivers and lakes.

This filled it with extreme resentment. When had it ever suffered such humiliation?

It wanted revenge! It must repay all the suffering it endured!

It activated its talent ability, Vengeful Sea Tracking.

Abyss Dragons are extremely vengeful.

This talent ability can mark targets that attacked it within a large range.

If the target is in the water, the positioning would be clearer.

It also allows others of the same kind within a certain range to perceive the mark.

So, once you provoke an Abyss Dragon, the rest of your life will be entangled with it.

As early as two days ago, it discovered Li Ye Lai and Cheese at the river bottom.

But it was well aware that the other side was not easy to deal with. Besides, with another human, a direct confrontation would not end well.

After hesitating for a moment, it decided to pretend not to notice them and slipped past them.

Now, it finally saw an opportunity!

That troublesome human male was in a terribly poor state, unable to resist.

This was the perfect moment for its revenge; it would devour that human’s flesh to soothe its hatred.

However, this ambush failed as well.

It looked towards the distance, continuing to sense the opponent’s location with its talent ability.

Simultaneously, its sharp teeth snapped shut.

That slender, fair arm, which should have been protected, was directly bitten to pieces.

The sound of snapping bones and chewing flesh was terrifying.

‘The taste is really good… much better than those humans in the village.’

thought the One-eyed Abyss Dragon to itself, after all, the flesh of a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User contained more power than a thousand ordinary people combined.

At this moment, the One-eyed Abyss Dragon suddenly turned its head to look behind it.

Not far behind, there was the pursuit team led by the Qing Jiao City Lord.

Qing Jiao City Lord stared fixedly at the flesh in the dragon’s mouth: “You… how dare you attack that lord?”

At that moment, Qing Jiao City Lord and the strong members of the pursuit team were truly horrified, their hair stood on end.

If they hadn’t sensed the faint spiritual energy fluctuation from afar, they would have thought that Li Ye Lai and Cheese had been devoured by the dragon.

If that had happened, at best, they would become Desire Demons, not to mention implicating their nine clans…

They might not care about that human female, but the Champion Agent must not come to harm.

The One-eyed Abyss Dragon clearly sensed the malice from the newcomers too; were these people hunting that guy? No, something seemed off.

After a roar, it decisively twisted its body and moved swiftly.

“Chase it! It must not have another chance to attack the Champion Agent!” Qing Jiao City Lord roared, giving chase angrily.

The One-eyed Abyss Dragon and Qing Jiao City Lord were both Sixth Sense experts.

But the dragon had no intention of fighting, underwater, Qing Jiao City Lord couldn’t outrun the dragon.

Considering the dragon’s vengeful nature and talent, Qing Jiao City Lord’s expression was extremely grim.

“Notify the nearby pursuit teams to gather quickly.”

“We must find the Champion Agent before the dragon and protect him, bringing him safely back to the state!”

…

Elsewhere, several kilometers away, Cheese was still carrying Li Ye Lai, walking underwater.

So much pain, it really hurts…

Whether it was the arm that was cauterized with Spirit Word·Flame Burst to stop the bleeding, or the severe stabbing pain in her back, Cheese was in immense pain.

It was as if her flesh was being chopped off repeatedly by an axe, yet regenerating, only to be chopped off again.

The curse of pain now became Cheese’s greatest nightmare, torturing her every second.

Already severely injured, under the curse’s influence, every step was a struggle.

It hurt so much… death might just be an instant affair, but this pain was enduring and hopeless.

‘Such a vicious curse…’

Submerged, Cheese exhaled a bubble, blood flowing with it, she knew this blood would become a trace for the enemy to follow.

But she had no time to worry about erasing traces now, she felt as if her internal organs were burning, every step seemed to be deteriorating her body further.
