Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 73 Mountain Lord
With the derailment of the "Yellow Springs Train," the last elite force of the branch was completely wiped out.

They never knew until their deaths why the words "Everyone here is trash" spoken by a mere second-level awakened psychic were so powerful.
They were literally thrown everywhere like trash. They were then hacked to death by the overjoyed but overjoyed handlers.

In fact, the same words can have different effects when spoken by different people.

For example, "Failed the college entrance exam? Try again next year!"

The same words spoken by liberal arts students and art students will have completely different effects.

When the vehicle assassin Li Yelai boarded the train, their last option was to jump off immediately. Unfortunately, they missed their last chance.

In the end, the chosen one, who fought desperately, was pierced through the brain by Yang Chen's spear and nailed to the train.

The operation targeting the branch of the Ember Church was a complete success.

But the mission is not yet complete.

They also need to take inventory of the spoils within the branch headquarters, especially the forbidden items deep inside.

Before escaping on the Train to the Underworld, this group of Ember Church members attempted to release all the forbidden items.

But the handlers stopped them.

Now the task of suppressing these taboos has fallen to the authorities.

Under these circumstances, Li Yelai, along with Benlei and the others, arrived at the underground branch.

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised by what he saw.

He had assumed that the main body of the branch headquarters consisted of houses and buildings hidden underground.

Unexpectedly, the church unearthed a huge, even magnificent, altar hundreds of meters underground.

When Li Yelai walked from the passage to a certain platform, he couldn't help but gasp.

The ceiling was several tens of meters away from the platform where Li Yelai and the others were located. The platform itself was nearly twenty meters above the ground.

When Li Yelai looked down, he saw a giant altar stretching for hundreds of meters.

Thick stone pillars support this space, each carved with strange patterns.

Today, the steps of these altars are strewn with the bodies of red-robed cultists and strange corpses, their blood dripping down the steps. It's like a painting of hell.

It is said that in their final moments, they intended to sacrifice themselves to summon some kind of ethereal creature.

However, due to interference from the official night watchmen and a certain extraordinary being, the strength of the virtual beings they summoned was greatly reduced.

There was simply no way to deal with so many captains and elite night scouts at the same time.

They were dragged off the altar, killed, and banished on the spot.

Not even a body was left behind.

"The church really has a lot of resources. How did they create this kind of terrain?" Li Yelai asked.

“This was originally the prototype of an underground city; they merely modified it.” Benlei shook his head and pointed to a huge figure in the distance, saying, “I brought you here so you could see this.”

Li Yelai looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a huge black and gold tiger.

Its fur is black with gold stripes, it is over ten meters long, its tail has a faint, ethereal, dark hue, and its face has four crimson tiger eyes.

It appeared extremely frightening and domineering.

However, at this moment, it was bound by chains that even pierced through its flesh and spine, so it could only lie on a huge transport vehicle. Several handlers were standing beside it, gesturing and occasionally communicating with Black Tiger.

Black Tiger wasn't as domineering as one might imagine; instead, he let out a low growl.

They seemed to be discussing something with the processors. Li Yelai even faintly heard a hint of flattery in their voice.

"What a huge tiger! If we make tiger penis wine, wouldn't we make a fortune?"

Li Yelai said in surprise.

Such a large supernatural creature would be a huge treasure for psionicists!

You know, supernatural beings are a crucial source of materials for potions and psionic weapons. I wonder how many psionic weapons or bottles that could be forged.

Of course, its meat shouldn't be wasted. Making it into tiger penis wine would be even more cost-effective.

The wealthy merchants in the big city loved to send scavengers to hunt wild animals in the wilderness and then soak them in alcohol.

Since the disaster struck, the number of wild animals has increased dramatically, so there is no need to worry about overhunting.

It's normal for the official sales outlet of Chaofan Tiger Whip Wine to offer subsidies to Jucheng, right?

In any case, wealthy merchants and those great families of psionicists who have been passed down since the time of the calamity are extremely rich.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze some money out of them?
Li Yelai felt that he was a genius.

"Ahem." Benlei coughed a few times and said, "I didn't ask you to tell me how to deal with it. It's a rather special extraordinary creature, the Nightfall Mountain Lord. Its most unique ability is projecting clones. Its main body stays in a safe location while its clones devour its prey. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to capture."

"The Church of the Embers captured its true form and found a way to format its clones, turning them into mindless projections. These were then controlled by psychic followers who possessed the language of the Void Beasts, greatly enhancing its combat power."

"But it can only create a maximum of five clones at a time, and the strength of each clone can be controlled by itself."

"It was originally a supernatural creature used by the Church of Ember to enhance the strength of its followers. When the followers were driven to desperation, they planned to sacrifice it as well. Coincidentally, several followers who possessed its clones were killed at that time. It immediately summoned its clones to fight back. In a way, it cooperated with us to interfere with the sacrificial ritual."

"Now, they intend to cooperate with us. They will continue to send out clones to assist the handlers."

"And we won't waste such a good opportunity. There are only five chances in total. Naturally, we have to bring you over first."

Li Yelai was taken aback. The language of the Void Realm Beasts? Wasn't his second awakening ability the language of the Void Realm Beasts?
If I had the help of clones, wouldn't my combat power also increase?

"Is this in accordance with the rules?" Li Yelai asked tentatively. "Shouldn't the branch office be the one to make this decision?"

"You're the hero of this operation. Without you, they would have escaped long ago, eating hotpot on the train." Ben Lei said calmly, "The captains agreed, so there's nothing wrong with it. Can't our processing department reward those who have made contributions?"

This is blatant favoritism from the authorities towards meritorious individuals.

But Li Yelai still had some doubts: "But I can't just wander around with its clone projection, can I?"

Although it was a good thing, Li Yelai still expressed his hesitation. Such a large extraordinary creature, even if it was an avatar, would probably not be much smaller.

How can the security issues be resolved?
"That's simple. The clone will be attached to the psionic weapon. Only when you use the Void Beast Language can the clone detach and fight for you," Benlei laughed.

“But you must be careful. This mountain lord is very cunning and clever,” Benlei warned. “Be careful when using it.”

"it is good!"

(Sorry, I'm a groomsman tomorrow, and I drove for a long time today, so I only have two thousand words...)
