Chapter 1447

Stinky!

It was too stinky!

The fishy smell of insects and the stench of decay were mixed together.

The ground was sticky;

the soil had been soaked in blood for a long time, becoming like a swamp.

Every step he took, he would sink a few centimeters.

On a normal day on the Insect Mother battlefield,

as long as you were outside the array, you could hardly see the ground.

The number of demon insects was truly too exaggerated, so many that they could cover the entire ground.

Now that the demon insects had retreated,

the ground finally revealed its true face:

it was just a sticky black swamp.

There was no vegetation, no mountain ridges; it was bare, endless.

Just as Lin Lao had said,

all the demon insects had retreated back into the abyss.

Li Yao didn't see any living creatures.

He did, however, perceive Xiao Bai's aura;

it was right under the military base, also within the protection range of the array.

As for this poison mist,

Li Yao looked up at the eerie sky dyed ink-green.

Visibility was very low outside the poison mist,

but once you truly entered it, the range you could see was still quite far.

Li Yao walked forward a few steps.

Beside him, Kha'Zix, hidden in the void, followed behind Li Yao.

Ten seconds.

Kha'Zix's body began to tremble slightly; it should have been feeling the intense pain brought by the corrosion.

Fifteen seconds, HP began to drop.

One minute, HP was on the verge of hitting the bottom.

"Zheng!"

A bell chimed,

and the sticky ground was covered by the chessboard.

Li Yao's expression remained unchanged; after confirming that the poison mist couldn't affect 【Chess Player】, his speed suddenly reached its limit, and he sprinted through the poison mist.

"Kha'Zix's Stamina attribute is about the same as an ordinary Seventh-Advancement practitioner."

"It can actually only withstand ninety seconds."

The chessboard consumed one percent of mana every six seconds,

which meant six hundred seconds, ten minutes.

While sprinting, Li Yao pondered.

He couldn't use all his mana on the journey;

there might be a fierce battle waiting for him at the source of the poison mist.

"At least reserve half of the mana."

Reviving to full state in the domain—

that meant

every time it revived, Kha'Zix had ninety seconds.

Just in case,

the domain could be closed for eighty-five seconds.

The domain had no cooldown time; opening and closing it repeatedly would increase consumption, but it was still much easier than keeping it open continuously.

And every time it revived, it needed to wait 15 seconds.

During these fifteen seconds, the domain couldn't be closed.

So to move forward in the poison mist, every one hundred seconds, he needed to open the domain for fifteen seconds, consuming less than three percent of his mana.

The distance from the No. 2 Insect Mother to the base was only one hundred kilometers;

it was completely enough!

Inside the base,

watching Li Yao walking in the poison mist,

a group of researchers had their hearts in their throats, their eyes wishing they could grow into the screen.

Until Li Yao accelerated and disappeared completely into the poison mist,

they slumped onto their chairs as if they had been deflated.

All the imaging equipment outside had been corroded by the poison mist and couldn't work.

Inside the base, they could only see a very small area.

"Reckless, too reckless!"

"I really don't understand you guys, why would you let the Chief General go in? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

At this time,

Lin Lao was no longer worried about the poison mist.

If he hadn't gone in, you could say that kid Li Yao was reckless,

but he had already been in for several minutes,

and he was probably clearer about the intensity of the poison mist than these researchers.

If he hadn't retreated yet,

it proved that kid really had the confidence!

What he was worried about now was

the Demon Insect race at the source of the poison mist.

Ordinary demon insects couldn't threaten Li Yao,

but what about those Mimic Demon Insects that looked like crows?

On the other side,

several minutes passed,

and an abyss with no edge and no bottom appeared in front of Li Yao.

Standing on the edge of the cliff,

the stench that the 【God-Slaying Practitioner】 had just adapted to seemed to lose its effect.

The stench, so thick it was almost substantial, rushed into his nasal cavity.

Li Yao was so fumigated that he felt he could barely open his eyes.

"No. 2 Insect Mother's nest; the second-ranked Insect Mother is below. For countless years, trillions of demon insects have been bred here."

"I never want to smell this kind of scent a second time in my life!"

It didn't do much damage; it was just extreme torture!

Before jumping down,

Li Yao perceived the energy in his body.

During this time, he had used the 【Spirit-Devouring Windbreaker】 mana-recovery effect once, and about seventy percent remained, which was completely enough.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about summoning Kai'Sa to carry him,

but Kai'Sa's Stamina attribute was even lower than Kha'Zix's,

making her more easily corroded by the poison mist.

If her body was corroded, her speed would slow down.

The key was that

Kai'Sa didn't have a long-term stealth skill.
