Chapter 1412: Abilities that aren't usually needed, but can save your life in a pinch!

Back in the 【Lost Continent】,

Li Yao had realized very clearly

that to explore a vast land like the Abyss,

one person's strength is always limited.

He could be responsible for combat,

but exploring the Abyss is different from clearing a dungeon.

It's not just about fighting.

Just like when slaying the Dandelion,

if Cui Si hadn't told him the Dandelion's weakness,

he would have needed to spend more energy and play more trump cards,

or even choose to retreat directly.

Later, when he went to search for traces of Benefactor Xiao Bai,

he also entrusted Cui Si and Lingxin to collect 【Recovery Rice】 on the island.

Collecting, surveying, healing after combat, recovering—

these all require people to handle.

For instance, the Array Master he asked Senior Hua to find

was also to reinforce the defenses of the Silver Tree,

to prevent it from being destroyed in one blow by a suddenly appearing Abyss creature.

A well-equipped team

can handle the vast majority of problems!

But the number of people cannot be too large.

He had to carefully select every single member,

and also consider whether the other party was willing.

After thinking carefully for a while, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, stars twinkling in her eyes, and said:

"Explore the Abyss?"

"Will you protect me?"

She had actually guessed long ago that Principal Hua sending her over meant something like this.

With Principal Hua's status, she could have completely ordered her to join Li Yao's team,

but instead, she said to come over and take a look, meaning it was her own decision.

Of course Mu Xiaoxiao was willing!

The Abyss!

The place her father dreamed of going!

She didn't expect she would be the one to go first!

Just thinking about it made her excited!

The reason she could become the number one Healing-type practitioner of the younger generation

was because she dared to fight and strive!

She dared to enter dungeons that other Healing-type practitioners didn't dare to!

Exploring the Abyss—

even with her feet, she knew

her leveling speed would increase by a huge margin!

On this point alone, she couldn't possibly refuse!

"If you need protection, then dispel the thought of entering the Abyss as soon as possible."

Before Li Yao could reply,

a cold voice rang out from behind.

Jiu Tiao Meise, dressed in a magic robe, slowly approached.

"Li Yao-kun, I'm not late, am I?"

"No, we're still discussing it, aren't we?"

"What's that? I was just joking!" Mu Xiaoxiao glared at this woman who was beautiful to the extreme.

"Li Yao, I was joking. I don't need your protection. I accept."

"Hmm, you don't have a guild yet, right?"

"No."

【Cloud Top Chess Player invites you to join the guild 'Abyss Squad'. Do you accept?】

"Yes!"

"Ho ho ho!" Mu Xiaoxiao looked in and smiled broadly. "I'm actually the second person in the guild!"

She glanced sideways at Jiu Tiao Meise.

"Some people, oh, I don't know, one might think you and Li Yao are very close?"

Jiu Tiao Meise almost broke her composure.

"Li Yao-kun, hurry and pull me into the guild!"

"No way, kick this person out first before pulling me in!"

Three black lines appeared on Li Yao's forehead.

This guild was handed to him by his mother,

an S-grade adventure guild.

It used to be called something like 'Chief',

but he felt the name was too 'chuunibyou', so he casually changed it to 'Abyss Squad'.

The attributes that came with an S-grade guild were quite decent:

guild members gain a 3% increase in four-dimensional attributes. ===== CHAPTER 1414 =====
