Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1122: Chapter 548

In a certain silent and dim subway tunnel, the wild Dragon Thunder flickered with crimson light, crashing down with the Champion’s fury.

The blinding light illuminated the tunnel, and the wild thunder devoured the Horror Demons.

The wailing of the elite demons echoed through the air.

But almost instantly, a barrier unfolded, completely suppressing the spiritual energy fluctuations and the roaring sounds of the physical world unleashed by the Dragon Thunder.

“Damn! It’s a special attack!”

Three elite demons were consumed by the Dragon Thunder. One of them, draped in a black cloak and holding a staff, was hit directly and annihilated in the roar.

The remaining two elite demons also suffered terrible injuries.

One of them had its upper body destroyed, while the other knight was pierced directly through the heart.

But unlike the first demon, the humanoid demon with a shattered upper body quickly regenerated, with bones growing and flesh reborn.

As for the pierced demon, it showed no reaction. Inside the breach in the armor at its heart, there was nothing but black smoke billowing out.

“An evil spirit special attack? That Returning Soul is really unfortunate. We’ve lost another one… It would have been better to stay within the fortress and surround the Champion!” A demon spoke: “We have so many leaders to besiege, are we afraid of one Champion? Rakshasa, you rely too much on that ‘guy’. You were once a supreme being, you should have your own judgment.”

“Indeed, that Champion has just reached the Sixth Sense. Even Overlords have been slain, so what is there to fear about the Sixth Sense?” The demon, whose upper body was blown apart, said discontentedly, now bare-chested.

“Fools, the human Champion appeared suddenly; they must have entered from outside the Disaster Fog.” Rakshasa said calmly, “How could humans let a human Champion enter with elite warriors into the Disaster Fog? He must have his own card to play! And moreover…”

“My inspiration tells me that staying there won’t have a good ending.” Rakshasa said, in his unique divination perception.

A six-armed shadow flashed across the sky.

Though reluctant to admit, staying there, whether the Champion lives or dies, they might go close to annihilation.

‘Once my seal is lifted, I will battle with you again…’ Rakshasa glanced at the golden script on his body, then said, “But at least, time is on our side. Let famine and plague break the humans.”

…

On the other side, at the Ba Shu South City Branch, where Li Ye was located, batch after batch of civilians were being sheltered.

At the same time, more support and assistance from scattered legions were obtained.

Though communication remained chaotic, at least the status of major shelters could be roughly determined. They understood the allocation of their combat forces.

Meanwhile, from the heads of captured Horror Demons.

Humans gained some intelligence about the demons.

At least, they had relatively detailed information about those few dangerous elite demons.

Inside the demons, they were referred to as leader-level demons, ranked according to their strength.

Among them, the most dangerous was the fifth position, the Rakshasa King.

A former King!

Sealed because of internal conflicts in the Forbidden Zone, the King of the Restricted Zone!

Fortunately, the Horror Demon created was in its sealed state. Otherwise, it would be at least Supreme Level strength, and Li Ye figured he would have to deploy a Biomimetic Tear Drop.

A monster like this being in the fifth position… Damn it, what else is there among the demons?

The other leader-level demons were the Insect Master and the Beastman Leader. The latter’s name was simply Beastman Leader.

Because of their unique unit-spawning ability, they held the third and fourth positions. Their danger level indeed surpassed that of the Rakshasa.

As for other emerged leader-level demons, the Undead Team, they were reportedly in the fifteenth position. With their nearly immortal trait, they were very tricky to deal with.

But accompanying them came increasingly severe logistical pressures.

In fact, each Giant City had sufficient food and ammunition reserves, even if farms outside the city had been occupied. The fields within the city and the stored food could sustain the entire city for several years.

However, during previous wars, many green-skinned orcs specifically attacked the branch’s food warehouse, and of course, they were all wiped out.

But their spores contaminated the stored food, and to avoid a warehouse full of green skins a few days later, humans could only painfully destroy the stored food by burning it.

At the same time, the food corruption mentioned by Illusion Change mysteriously appeared.

Even well-preserved compressed biscuits and jerky and energy bars made from Extraordinary Creatures would rot or spoil inexplicably in a short time.

This undoubtedly plunged the branch, already full of people, into a state of food tension.

Li Ye could only attempt to connect with Sword Edge King and others outside the Disaster Fog via Tai Chi·Yin, calling for an air drop of food.

The good news was that Li Ye could communicate with the outside world and accurately describe the current situation and needed supplies through a cipher.

The bad news was that due to the Abyss Dark Side, the outside world couldn’t determine Li Ye’s location and that of various shelters, making precise air-drops impossible.

The inputs might appear in other spaces, or they might end up being captured by the demons.

The final solution discussed was saturation-style air-drop support, and having the Spiritual Ability Team with the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers capture the air-drop supplies.

Only in this way could the food problems of the branch and various shelters be ensured and help humans in the other two spaces.

As for food, the problem was relatively solvable. Shelters with strong defensive power had already started eating demons.

They even dispatched a team to the branch where Li Ye was located, delivering a list of edible items.
