Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The entire team was equipped with animal hides or scale armor, and their gear was quite good. They were traversing rapidly through the deep mountains.

Li Yelai could sense that there were quite a few psychics among them, but none of them were at a high level.

Of course, the possibility that they deliberately concealed it cannot be ruled out.

They also control two extraordinary beings.

Hounds covered in scales, birds with fleshy wings.

This is also a characteristic of this civilization; they have mastered the means to tame extraordinary creatures.

Through iteration and breeding, a more docile species has been cultivated.

Even those who are not psionicists can be controlled to a certain extent.

These two extraordinary creatures are equivalent to their police dogs and falcons.

They advanced swiftly through the mountains and forests, using their hounds and falcons to probe the surrounding terrain.

As they ventured deeper, they disturbed some extraordinary creatures that dwelled deep in the mountains.

Although the supernatural beings desperately wanted to devour the psionicists, they also didn't want to get hurt, especially faced with the overwhelming numbers of the city-state's army. The wild supernatural beings retreated in droves.

For a time, the mountain forest was bustling with activity.

A flock of birds was disturbed, and after hunting down an army falcon, they were attacked by psionicists and forced to abandon their territory.

As they streaked across the sky, they left behind a pool of filth.

Li Ye cursed under his breath and dodged to the side. Even without using his special skills, his luck wouldn't be much better.

Afterwards, Li Yelai continued to gaze at the distant legion.

Those are the city-state's troops. Are they planning to search the mountains? Search for outsiders like Li Yelai?

Watching this scene, Li Yelai pondered to himself.

Based on the current intelligence, he can now confirm that Wanlong Lake is controlled by the Bliss Faction.

After Wanlong Lake had been formed for some time, it was discovered by the Blissful Faction, who planted the Heartless Fruit on the third layer of Wanlong Lake.

After years of cultivation, the Heartless Fruit has parasitized all the extraordinary creatures on the third layer.

If it is not discovered by the outside world, the Heartless Fruit will parasitize all humans and supernatural creatures in Wanlong Lake.

However, after killing Black Umbrella, the Champions team obtained some information from his legacy and began an investigation.

The existence of Wanlong Lake was discovered unexpectedly.

This led to the situation where, although the unexpected discovery disrupted the Blissful Faction's plans, it also trapped Captain Yang Chen and the two official teams within Wanlong Lake.

The presence of the Elysium faction can also be found in some city-states.

In other words, could there also be Bliss believers among these legions?

Yes, that makes sense.

The belief in ecstasy is the pursuit of sensory stimulation and extreme pleasure, which is the easiest thing for humans to be corrupted by.

According to the survey, some wealthy businessmen and powerful figures who are addicted to alcohol and sex are more likely to be corrupted by excessive pleasure.

In the second level of Wanlong Lake's civilization, there is a clear class division: nobles who manage city-states, commoners from various city-states, and slaves who become slaves due to the defeat of their city-states in war.

In such an environment, those who control more resources and power are more easily corrupted by desires.

Perhaps it was because wild Bliss believers first appeared in Wanlong Lake that the Bliss faction from the outside world was attracted.

Otherwise, a unified nation should have emerged long ago in the second layer, instead of these city-states fighting each other and engaging in rampant internal strife.

Li Yelai pondered in his heart, but did not act rashly.

Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of this kind of pursuit at all.

With his current combat strength, he could only secure a victory by deploying a top-tier expert.

Not to mention anything far ahead, just the Celestial Comet Ancient Dragon alone is something most overlords might not be able to catch up to.

The problem is that Li Yelai is unsure whether they have been parasitized.

If you act rashly, there's a high chance you'll be parasitized.

Most of the official powerhouses on the second floor fell victim to this.

So, after glancing at the city-state legion in the distance, Li Yelai returned to the cave.

Considering that Cheese might be washing up, Li Yelai asked in advance.

Only after receiving a definite answer did they enter the cave.

Inside the cave. Cheese was sitting on his sleeping bag, drying his wet hair.

The slight moisture seeping from her hair added a touch of hazy beauty to her appearance.

Li Yelai told Cheese what he had seen.

“Something’s strange,” Cheese said. “Theoretically, searching the mountains is the right thing to do. After all, we outsiders are a hidden threat. But they should also know that these armies pose no threat to us.”

"Not to mention anything far off, if the three spies joined forces, they would probably be wiped out before they could even send out an alarm."

"Unless, there is a master hiding behind them, or one of them is concealing their true strength."

“But there must be more than one such search team. They probably don’t have that many people.”

Cheese pondered for a moment: "It's probably the Bliss Faction up to their old tricks again. Could it be... that they know you and Captain Moonshadow entered the second level and are planning to take advantage of the situation to parasitize you?"

“That’s quite possible. After all, I was too conspicuous riding an ancient dragon. Besides, my data should have been recorded by the ruins. They were investigating carefully and should know I was here.” Li Yelai pondered for a moment and then asked, “So, what should we do?”

“We have several skilled infiltration comrades inside the city-state. They will notify us if the city-state repairs the passage. For now, we just need to avoid these search teams. They have hounds and falcons, so we still need to be careful,” Cheese said.

"Infiltrating a city-state is very dangerous. I remember you said there are many experts within its borders."

Li Yelai thought of the Little Mad King.

As the city's strongest assassin, her stealth abilities are almost unparalleled. Even Chaos Chosen of the same level would find it difficult to detect her approach.

But this also means her mission will be extremely dangerous. If anything goes wrong, she will be utterly destroyed.
“It is indeed dangerous, but in order to seal off the passage, they specifically learned the city-state's language and script, and after dressing in the local clothing, they are indistinguishable from the natives. It is relatively safer,” Cheese said.

"So how did you keep in touch? Didn't you all go your separate ways?" Li Yelai asked. Because of the existence of the Heartless Fruit, each comrade was acting independently.

“Although we are not sure of our individual hiding places, we are all scattered around that main mountain peak.” Cheese walked towards the cliff and pointed to a towering mountain in the distance.

“In case of special circumstances, the comrades who have infiltrated will pass on the intelligence, and some comrades will leave markings on the mountain peaks that will not be noticed by the outside world.” As Cheese spoke, he took out a pair of binoculars from his trench coat pocket.

However, after glancing at the mountain peak, Cheese's expression changed slightly.

Through the telescope, a figure appeared from a distant mountain, severing branches from five large trees.

This is a signal indicating an emergency assembly!

"problem occurs!"
