Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Non-human special attack refers to the increased damage dealt to non-human species.

This is the blessing bestowed upon the believers by the fifth god of chaos, who has a severe racial fastidiousness.

It possesses extremely strong special attacks against all non-human species, including extraordinary beings, chaotic demons, beings from forbidden zones, and even beings like the Returned Ones.

In the presence of this fifth god, even the legend of the White Snake would probably be forbidden.

Of course, the damage bonus varies. Li Yelai only knew that Chu He had a 150% bonus. With such a high bonus, he might even be a chosen one.
Li Yelai gathered his thoughts and rode Old Horse No. 5 closer to the group.

“Captain Night!” One-Handed Sword stepped closer and said, “I am One-Handed Sword, Night Scout of the Second Team, East City Branch, Lava Mine City.”

Although it wasn't a major city, the one-handed swordsman had heard of the champion's reputation as invincible among his peers.

Moreover, as official members, those Night Scouts had all met the captains who participated in the conquest of the Immortal Palace.

After all, the official team had also considered the possibility that the team might be broken up during the strategy process.

Of course, no one expected that the troublemakers from the unorthodox faction would suddenly pull something. Damn those unorthodox factions!

Li Ye glanced at the unharmed Zi Tong and nodded: "Comrade One-Handed Sword, you did a great job."

Zi Tong's abilities are extremely unique, but their level is indeed rather low, only reaching the third awakening stage. Her survival in this dangerous celestial palace was partly due to luck, but also largely thanks to the protection of One-Handed Sword and others.

"Of course," the one-handed swordsman replied, glancing at the horse archer not far away. "It's also thanks to Captain Night General that we were able to deal with the beast horde."

On the surface, he said that Li Yelai had defeated the beast horde and saved them. In reality, he was reminding Li Yelai that there was something wrong with the horse bow.

Zi Tong, who was in the distance, was also gesturing frantically at Li Yelai, her mouth almost twitching. She even poked her own cheek, indicating that there was something wrong with Li Yelai's face.

Li Yelai was naturally aware of this. He looked at Ma Gong and said, "No need for thanks. This Fifth Sense expert is quite powerful. Even if he can't defeat the beast horde, he can still lead you to break through. By the way, who are you?"

“The Ma family, Ma Gong.” Ma Gong replied somewhat solemnly, “As fellow human beings, we should cooperate.”

"The Ma family?" Li Yelai nodded. "I'm quite familiar with Old Ma, but I am with Ma Hongyi. I haven't met you before."

They're here! They're here! Zi Tong and the others were terrified and subtly distanced themselves from each other.

A person hiding their identity and even disguising their face. They might just be a Chaos follower!
This made them extra cautious, especially after being tricked by the Devious Path.

From this perspective, their worries were justified; this person truly was a follower of the Chaos God.

"With so many people in the Ma family, the captain probably doesn't remember me," Ma Gong replied calmly.

Li Yelai chuckled and said, "May I have a word with you in private?"

Ma Gong hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

The two then walked into the woods.

Li Yelai rode Yayu ahead, while Ma Gong behind him remained silent, but gripped his large bow tightly in his hand.

Li Yelai gave him a dangerous feeling.

This is a true being with unparalleled five senses. Even though Ma Gong himself is quite powerful, he dares not act rashly. He has little chance of winning in a direct confrontation, as the blessing he received has no effect on humans. Unless other buffs are triggered, he might barely have a fighting chance.

But Ma Gong was worried that he might be instantly killed.
He knew very well that Li Yelai had already suspected his identity, but he also knew even more that he couldn't escape.

The Yayu that Li Yelai was riding was even faster than him.

Escaping is no longer a realistic option.

“Relax, Ranger,” Li Yelai said calmly. “You didn’t lay a hand on my comrades, so we’re not enemies yet.”

Li Yelai chose to get straight to the point; he was indeed somewhat curious about the Wilderness Ranger.

As for turning against him, this horse archer is no match for him.

Ma Gong's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "What is it that General Ye is referring to?"

“Don’t play dumb with me.” Li Yelai jumped off Yayu and approached Ma Gong, saying, “I don’t know why you entered the Immortal Palace, but for now, we don’t consider you enemies. Even if you are Chaos believers, after all, the Fifth God has not shown any hostility towards humanity.”

Ma Gong stared at Li Yelai for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Respected official captain, please do not refer to us Wilderness Rangers as Chaos Believers. On the contrary, they are our primary targets."

"At the same time, the great Lord of Azure Flames will never be humanity's enemy. When humanity falls into despair, His arrows will tear through the night of despair and bring the dawn of hope. As long as you are not oppressors, and there is no injustice or grievance, you will never be our target."

"Ha." Li Yelai laughed, "The Chaos faction has a unified view: the Blood God symbolizes courage, immortality symbolizes life, bliss symbolizes love, and the Deceptive Path symbolizes wisdom. So, your Fifth God, is it to symbolize justice?"

“No,” Ma Gong shook his head and said solemnly, “It’s hope!”

"When shrouded in endless despair, as long as you retain the determination to resist, the great Lord of Azure Flames will turn his gaze upon your battlefield. Even if only for a moment, he will grant you the power to ignite the Azure Flames!"

This reminded Li Ye of a scene he had witnessed during the No. 71 disaster fog.

He was an official captain who ignited a blue flame at the last moment when the defense line was breached, but in the end he still died in battle.

From the current perspective, the Lord of Azure Flames poses no threat to humanity, but that's only for now.

As a god of chaos, could there truly be such a benevolent god? Perhaps not.

Humanity has suffered too much loss and too much pain in the chaos.

How many of humanity's greatest talents have fallen victim to the corruption of chaos, becoming traitors to humankind?
Therefore, humanity has always been wary of the fifth god.

It's like a country that was once backward and bullied by many powers. Now that another power has emerged, how can it possibly have any goodwill towards it?

Having been tormented by the four Chaos Gods for so many years, how could they possibly trust the fifth Chaos God?

Li Yelai was able to communicate with him calmly entirely because they had not yet done anything to harm humanity.

"I hope you can do what you say you will do," Li Yelai said calmly.

"Rest assured, we have no conflict with the authorities. As long as you don't target us because of the corrupt officials we've killed, we'll keep to ourselves." Ma Gong dropped his pretense and grinned rather boldly.

“Yes, how should I address you? Wanderer,” Li Yelai asked.

“I am Zhang Zhong,” Ma Gong, or rather Zhang Zhong, replied.

"Oh, it's you." Li Ye paused.

Isn't Zhang Zhong the wilderness ranger who killed Qin Zhi and Fen Xiao in the second border city? He was also the first person Li Yelai contacted with a coin.

"Do you want to leave directly, or do you want to come with us?" Li Yelai asked.

Zhang Zhong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't have any specific goal right now. I only know that I came to the Celestial Palace. Perhaps fate will guide me to the right place. Now that we've met, shall we act together? Captain Night General is willing to accept me as a wandering knight?"

“Of course, but given your special status, continue to treat people as Ma Gong,” Li Yelai said.

“Sure. I didn’t expect Lord Ye to be so easy to talk to,” Zhang Zhong replied.

“I’ve said before, you didn’t lay a hand on my comrades, so you’re not an enemy. And you killed Qin Zhi, so you’re a friend of our City No. 3,” Li Yelai replied. “But from now on, you’ll have to follow my orders.”

“Yes, but when the Azure Flame ignites, all the wanderers, including myself, will take action on their own.” Zhang Zhong replied, “I hope that you, as well as the authorities, will not obstruct us.”

“As long as you don’t oppose humanity, our government will naturally not interfere,” Li Yelai replied.

Even the Ranger himself didn't know the reason why the Azure Flame ignited?
"No, the Azure Flame will only ignite in the most desperate moments. Maybe we'll even be comrades-in-arms then," Zhang Chong said with a smile.

"Are all the wandering knights followers of that person?" Li Yelai suddenly asked, having also received a hint about it.

“Who knows? Maybe. Becoming a wandering knight requires trials.” Zhang Chong replied, “Don’t expect to get any information from me. We wilderness wanderers have almost no contact with each other.”

"Then you don't have a leader?" Li Yelai asked. He wanted to know information about the 'witness'.

“Perhaps there is, but we are all loners.” Zhang Chong countered, “Wherever there is oppression, there we will be. You may not know, but in the eyes of us wandering knights, we can see the despair and resistance of humanity. So, we may meet and travel together on the road, but in the end, we will still go our separate ways.”

“That’s quite romantic.” Li Yelai nodded. “It would be even better if you didn’t make such a big fuss when you killed corrupt officials.”

"When the laws of your great city fail to reflect fairness, we wandering knights will not stand idly by. Breaking the law with force? This world needs breaking the law with force!" Zhang Chong said quietly. "Those who suffer injustice, those who face despair, all await the arrival of wandering knights. This world needs wilderness wanderers!"

"As the official team captain, I can't really comment on this, but what you did was certainly satisfying," Li Yelai said with a smile.

Kill those corrupt officials, and those anthropomorphic creatures who wear human skin but have beastly hearts. Li Yelai felt there was no problem with it.

As for the claim that the perpetrators' families should not be implicated, that remains to be verified. Allowing those who benefited from the situation to continue living would be the greatest injustice to the victims!
However, smearing the entire family's likenesses on the wall is just too disgusting. The forensic doctor vomited several times. He was vomiting from the fumes.
“Wow, Lord Night General, you do have the potential to become a wandering knight. If you retire in the future, you could become a wandering knight.” Zhang Zhong also laughed, “I know you want to talk about that family massacre case. In fact, several wandering knights rushed to that guy’s house, but unfortunately they were all too late. They could only paint his corpse on the wall.”

"Is this a quirk of you wandering knights? Or a requirement of that deity?" Li Yelai asked.

"Not really," Zhang Chong shook his head. "I don't know which wandering knight spread this around. It makes that beast suffer for a long time before it loses its senses. Next time, I plan to try it myself. It's just a bit disgusting."

Afterwards, Li Yelai and Zhang Zhong walked out of the woods.

Originally, Zi Tong and the others, who were anxiously waiting outside the woods, were extremely surprised to see the two of them emerge unharmed.

"Captain." One-handed sword stepped forward and whispered to Li Yelai, "Is he alright?"

Li Yelai responded in a low voice: "It's a wilderness ranger, no problem for now."

"Rogues?" One-handed swordsman paused slightly. As an official night watchman, he naturally knew about this group.

The official view on the Rangers is ambiguous; they are certainly not enemies, but vigilance must be maintained.

"Be careful, there might be quite a few wandering knights within the Immortal Palace."

"Yes!"

Li Ye's arrival undoubtedly brought a sense of security to the team.

And Zi Tong's abilities were also revealed at this moment.

Her eyes could see a lot of information; even from a great distance from the palace, she could see the shimmering, mysterious light.

With her abilities, she could quickly locate the Fairy Palace.

The group planned to send a signal every hour as they approached the palace in order to gather more troops.

At the same time, Li Yelai also learned why they had just been attacked by the beast horde.

Someone must have disturbed the herd, and in order to get rid of them, they used them as bait.

However, even so, their fate was not good.

After the group had moved forward for more than half an hour, they saw the bodies of several of them.

Clearly, they hadn't escaped their fate. They had become prey for the supernatural creature. When they were seen, a giant bear was gnawing on their corpses. The enormous red bear was devouring a woman's arm, chewing up and swallowing her fingers like carrots.

Zhang Chong raised his hand and shot an arrow, blinding one of the giant bear's eyes before it could even notice.

Then, the mountain king's clone slid in and disemboweled the five-sense giant bear.

"How foolish. If they had joined forces with us to fight the beast horde, they might have had a chance to survive." Zi Tong looked at this scene, her face turning pale.

“It’s different, little girl. If Captain Ye hadn’t arrived, we would have suffered casualties. All they had to do was lure the herd to us and outrun us. If they hadn’t encountered the giant bear while resting, they would have survived unharmed,” Zhang Zhong said. “At times like this, we shouldn’t test humanity.”

The one-handed swordsman stepped forward and lit a fire to burn their remains, preventing them from becoming food for the supernatural creatures. In this environment, even burying them in the ground was not safe.

Meanwhile, in another area...

Mohe stared at the corpse, which had been gnawed beyond recognition by the extraordinary creature, and fell into a deathly silence.

If it weren't for his striking curly hair and the family's specially made protective gear, she would never have believed that this was her cousin.

That young man who had just entered the Five Senses stage had previously boasted to me that he planned to challenge Night General, and if he lost, he would join the champion team, and if he won, he would make Night General his brother-in-law. He even got beaten up by me.

However, it has become like this now.

The team of eight included five psionicists, two of whom were at the Five Senses level, and one Iron Guardian.

They didn't even have a chance to escape? They were torn to pieces by a group of third and fourth awakened Kamaitachi?

How is that possible! Someone with only five senses can't even run away?

Mohe clenched his fists.

"Xiaohe, the secret treasure on his wrist is gone," someone whispered. "It seems the curse has gone out of control."

"I understand." Mo He took a deep breath. Murder and robbery?
The Mohists will surely avenge this! (End of Chapter)
