Chapter 1442

"So, these are those 'new-type Human-Insects'?"

The appearance of the Mimic Demon Insects was not much different from when they were alive.

This appearance was exactly that of the crows summoned by the Secret Demon, Swain!

"That's right, is there a problem?" Lin Lao asked, puzzled.

Li Yao's expression was pensive.

The worst-case scenario had come true.

The crows he had fought in the 【God Ruins】

were only True Name-tier, and didn't even count as the top-tier existences among True Name-tier!

Even after the Insect Mother's energy conversion, turning into Mimic Demon Insects,

they absolutely would not be strong enough

to reach the level of injuring the New King!

Swain could still summon even stronger crows!

Summoning-type,

capable of summoning an unknown number of Overlord-tier creatures!

This was the weakest demon?

Then what about the strongest?

Li Yao could now be certain

that those few demons absolutely had existences surpassing Overlords!

Watching Li Yao's increasingly ugly expression, Lin Lao's heart skipped a beat. "These demon insects, is there a problem?"

"Hoo," Li Yao let out a breath of stale air and said, "It's nothing. Lin Lao, continue talking about this poison mist; I'll see if there's a way to solve it."

Lin Lao nodded hesitantly. "Alright."

"As you saw just now, the effect of this poison mist is corrosion."

"The corrosiveness is extremely strong; we've tested it, and a Seventh-Advancement practitioner can't last a minute."

"Even the New King can only persist in the poison mist for ten minutes at most, and at the five-minute mark, it needs to expend a portion of its power to resist this poison mist."

"So there's no way to let the New King go to the abyss to find the source of the poison mist."

"The most critical thing is that this poison mist can even corrode the array!"

"The durability of the base's array is falling at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Right now, all the array masters in the country have rushed to the Insect Mother battlefield to provide energy to the array continuously."

"This is also why the array master Lady Hua promised you cannot get away right now."

"Do you know why they are creating this poison mist now?" Li Yao asked.

Lin Lao looked ashamed. "There are only three speculations right now, but no actual evidence, because we cannot enter the poison mist zone to explore the truth."

"The first speculation, and also the one I am most worried about right now:"

"The Demon Insect race wants to corrode our military base first, and once all our practitioners have left the Outer Domain battlefield, they will shut off the poison mist and let countless demon insects rush directly into the Blue Star!"

"The number of the Demon Insect race is truly too large; once they enter the Blue Star without obstruction, even if we manage to control the situation, there will be a large number of casualties."

Li Yao shook his head gently: "This speculation can be ruled out."

"Killing some low-tier practitioners has zero benefit for the Demon-Insect race, not to mention that the battlefield is on the Blue Star, and they have no way to collect the corpses of us humans."

"Hmm, the second speculation is to think on the bright side."

"The Human-Insects that appeared suddenly will also disappear suddenly."

"Could it be that those new-type demon insects have disappeared? The Demon Insect race couldn't deal with the New King, so they released this poison mist to block the New King from going to the abyss to kill their Insect Mother?"

"There is a slight possibility," Li Yao affirmed.

Swain's probing of him had already ended.

It was very likely that he had to return to the Demon race's stronghold, and his summoned beasts naturally had to be taken back.

Of course, this was just thinking on the bright side.

Li Yao asked: "What about the last speculation?"

Lin Lao's brows furrowed. "The last speculation is what we believe is the most likely."
