Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501: In Hand

In fact, what Li Yao feared the most wasn’t being trapped, because in his current Soul Form, trapping him was simply impossible. The worst-case scenario was his form being killed, but his soul would instantly return to his body. However, after being killed, his soul would be weak and need a period of recuperation before it could transform into the Death God form again.

What he actually worried about was Alice directly attacking him. In a situation where he was blindsided, leaving aside the outcome of the battle, if he couldn’t find a clue to the antidote, even a victory would be pointless.

However, it was his so-called Divine Envoy identity that came into play. Alice might be suspicious, but she didn’t have the courage to kill a Divine Envoy.

That’s why she imprisoned him in what she considered the safest cage.

This was all thanks to his Touch of Darkness; otherwise, Li Yao wouldn’t have been able to use this method, but of course, even without the Touch of Darkness, he would have other ways.

The situations are fixed, but people are adaptable, and every situation has its pros and cons. For now, the Touch of Darkness could give him a slight advantage.

But possessing the Touch of Darkness basically blocked any chance of Li Yao befriending the NPC temples and deities of the order faction.

And the deities of the chaotic faction, upon seeing the Touch of Darkness, wouldn’t take a liking to him either. That is the downside of the Touch of Darkness, although it hadn’t reached that level yet.

Of course, it’s a bit early to talk about this now.

Li Yao wandered around casually; the Dwarfs and gnomes answered all his questions. Coupled with Li Yao’s understanding of alchemy, he quickly found the antidote.

Li Yao unapologetically issued orders for them to mass-produce it.

During this process, Li Yao took some time to visit what Alice purported to be her bedroom and reception room.

There was also a small underground warehouse. Li Yao unhesitatingly summoned Skeletons and moved everything that could be moved out of there.

He ended up acquiring enough supplies for a ten-thousand-strong army for a month, including some special Magical Decorations, which when placed in the living room or bedroom, not only beautified the space but also enhanced recovery, relaxation, or gave a bonus to certain attributes after a night’s sleep.

Li Yao unapologetically took them away, along with a chest of gemstones and two chests of Gold Coins, as well as various other bits and bobs. The value of the precious items alone exceeded fifty thousand Gold Coins.

The players watching Li Yao’s screen turned green with envy. Damn it, they had to save up for so long just for a few hundred Gold Coins.

Whereas, here was someone who could rob an NPC and scoop up several tens of thousands of Gold Coins. Just the two chests of Gold Coins amounted to over twenty thousand, not to mention the value of the gemstones.

What Li Yao didn’t know was that his looting spree here was giving many players some bad ideas.

Some thieves even began to steal the precious possessions of the nobility in the main city, but as a result, these people met very tragic ends and paid a heavy price.

And a batch of adventurers hoped to encounter such a boss, to try their luck at looting, but most of them also ended very disastrously.

In fact, that was indeed the case; they only saw Li Yao looting, not realizing that every move he made was not just a casual wander but involved breaking through several Magic Traps.

Alice clearly had no good intentions; the slightest mishap with one of the Magic Traps here could have cost Li Yao his life, showing a cunningly malicious intent.

Luckily, Li Yao, having been reborn once, was highly skilled in this area and easily neutralized them. But the viewers didn’t know that; countless tragic experiences told others that whether looting homes or stealing was not so simple, this was a fantasy world after all.

After he finished looting, it had taken over half an hour, and the antidote he needed was essentially ready. However, a small case of vials, Li Yao placed directly into his backpack.

"Playing with suicide, this really is something."

Li Yao thought for a moment, then found another Magic Trap in the warehouse, directly triggered it, and a beam of light hit Li Yao squarely.

Li Yao’s health points instantly dropped to zero, and everything went black before his eyes. Then Li Yao opened his eyes and found himself still on the Battle Scorpion.

Looking around, he found the Hell Battle Scorpion in a dilapidated hall, with many Mages guarding Li Yao.

"Big brother is finally awake." The members sitting around a round table nearby, discussing something, all turned their heads at the sound of the voice.

"What happened, it looks like you were killed. Who could kill you?" The Guardian Angel, feeling the weakness of Li Yao’s soul, asked.

"No, I was on a mission, got something, and then got trapped, so I had to kill myself." Li Yao shook his head before continuing, "My mission is very important, we need to set off immediately."

"Do you mean, we are all going together this time?" The Enchantress asked.

"Yes, this is the base you captured, it was fast, but we can’t stay here, forget about that progress, we have a better mission this time." Li Yao said.

"We’ve already completed the garrison, didn’t you notice? Our progress has already reached six percent," Feng Yi reminded.

Li Yao looked and indeed the progress had reached slightly over six percent: "I was a bit dazed."

"It’s mainly because the opponents were too weak," the Enchantress said.

Fireworks laughed, "The command is just being modest. Without your strategy, it wouldn’t have been this easy, it would’ve been a tough battle."

"Let’s tidy up and set off, I’ll explain on the way."

Afterwards, the Starfire troop tidied up and set off at a rapid marching speed toward where the Green Dragons were gathering.

Li Yao knew that going back would be meaningless, guessing he wouldn’t be able to approach the Green Dragons without getting encircled and killed.

This time, according to the insider, it was clear that they were determined to win and would move out en masse with many experts, making it impossible for him to easily approach the Green Dragons.

He must rely on the military’s strength, and indeed this was a very good opportunity, for the team members, completing this mission together to boost their reputation with the Dragon Clan was very important.

Along the way, Li Yao listened as they detailed the process of capturing the base, and Li Yao also briefly shared his own experiences and mission.

This made the team members’ eyes sparkle; being able to unlock the reputation with the Green Dragons was worth it even without progress rewards.

And they could also buy supplies and specialty products from the Green Dragons; they were not short on gold coins and all wanted to buy some. In crucial times, having good items for survival was naturally desirable.

From this base, the Starfire executed a rapid march, moving very fast. Even so, it took over three hours.

Although anxious, Li Yao still had some confidence in the Green Dragons.

Even if the Green Dragons cannot revert to their Giant Dragon Form, in face of an encirclement, they could still hold out for a day or two.

However, the reality was far beyond Li Yao’s expectations.

When the Starfire Legion arrived, the military formation of the Green Dragons was already on the brink of collapse, as if it could be breached at any moment.

In fact, they were intending to capture these Green Dragons alive; otherwise, judging from the situation, they would have already slaughtered them to rivers of blood.

But even so, the situation was not optimistic.

And the appearance of Starfire’s large army of two hundred thousand still drew attention and alarm from both sides...
