Chapter 156

No flying insect monsters had appeared from that cave entrance for a while.

It seemed that after the giant dragon went in, they stopped appearing.

Does that mean the giant dragon is an ally?!

Thinking of this, all the examinees felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

It must be the support sent by the people in charge!

General Xue is the best!

To think she could even command the Dragon race!

At this very moment,

Xue Xue Jiulan was looking at the big screen, looking puzzled.

Why were these guys suddenly so excited?

First, Zhang Zhang Yucheng ignored the flying insect attacks to gather energy for his ultimate skill, and then Qin Qin Xuejun went all out to summon a thousand puppets.

Because she had to look at the big picture, Xue Xue Jiulan hadn't been paying attention to Li Yao’s side, but was instead keeping a close eye on the situation of the other examinees on the ground.

Just then,

Xue Xue Jiulan noticed that the other few people in charge, who had been talking incessantly, hadn't made a sound.

The entire control room was terrifyingly quiet.

Xue Xue Jiulan followed their gaze and looked over.

In Li Yao’s feed, the figure of a young man in black appeared.

"A human?"

No, not a human.

Almost instantly, Xue Xue Jiulan’s expression became incredibly cold.

A single horn, cracks...

It’s the Titan race!

She could now be almost certain that this disaster was absolutely caused by that forbidden crystal from the Yan family!

"What’s the situation? How strong is this Titan?"

Xue Xue Jiulan asked.

The three people in charge remained silent, and no one answered her question.

After a long time,

Wang Wang Shihui said with a tremble: "It’s over, it’s all over!"

"What do you mean?" Xue Xue Jiulan’s heart skipped a beat.

"It’s a Named-level monster. According to preliminary analysis of the footage, its level is around 35."

Hua Hua Qianshuang’s face was pale, her hands hanging limply at her sides.

"Named-level?" Xue Xue Jiulan said, somewhat incredulously, looking at the young man in black on the screen, whispering in a low voice, "Why would it be Named-level?"

Then, she remembered Li Yao’s battle record and slammed the table.

"No, there’s still a chance!"

"Li Yao, he might be able to win!"

"Xue Xue Jiulan, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Wang Shihui was furious, not even using the honorific for a General, calling her by her name directly. "I’ll say it again, this is a Named-level! Named-level!"

"As a general, you know better than anyone the horror of Named-level monsters, how could you say such a thing?"

Named-level monsters are almost the strongest monsters one can encounter in a dungeon.

Even in low-level dungeons, even at Purgatory difficulty, it is impossible to encounter a Named-level monster.

Unless some hidden mechanism is triggered, there is only a small probability of one appearing.

Only in high-level dungeons above the fourth turn do professionals have the chance to see a Named-level monster.

This is also why

many countries have a large number of high-level dungeons at Purgatory difficulty that have yet to be cleared.

Named-level is the biggest obstacle for professionals clearing dungeons.

In small dungeons of five or ten people, if you encounter a Named-level, don't even think about it, just run away. Only large-scale dungeons with a hundred people have the qualifications to crusade against a Named-level monster!

Now Xue Xue Jiulan was actually telling him that Li Yao had a chance to defeat his opponent alone?

It’s no wonder he was so angry; this Xue Xue Jiulan was treating him like a monkey!

Summoning a giant dragon creature was enough to prove Li Yao’s strength, and Wang Wang Shihui had gone from initial disdain to now viewing Li Yao as the savior of this disaster.

But wanting to defeat a Named-level, Wang Wang Shihui was the first not to believe it!

What’s more, this Titan wasn't even at the same level as Li Yao.

It was a full ten levels higher!

How to fight? How to fight!

Facing Wang Wang Shihui’s questioning, Xue Xue Jiulan didn't say much.

Li Yao had two experiences of defeating Named-level monsters.

But those two times, in the Tower of Heaven and the Trial Cube, both sides were roughly at the same level.

So Xue Xue Jiulan didn't have absolute certainty either.

Even if he couldn't win, he should be able to hold on for a while, right?

As long as he could drag it out until those high-level professionals arrived and gathered the strength of a hundred people, there should be a chance to defeat this Named-level!

"Something seems wrong!"

Su Su Changqing, who had been silent, suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He pointed at the screen: "Please zoom in here."

The technical staff quickly complied, and Xue Xue Jiulan and the others looked over.

Just by looking at the atmosphere in the footage, everyone judged that the two were resisting each other with their auras.

Compared to Li Yao’s relaxed and casual demeanor, it was actually this Named-level monster...

that looked a bit strained?

Everyone couldn't help but doubt their own eyes.

"Could it be, there really is a chance?"

Wang Wang Shihui didn't care about losing face anymore; as long as Li Yao could defeat it now, no, even if he could just hold off this Named-level, he would be willing to let him slap him in the face!

This concerned the lives of dozens of top examinees.

"Regardless of whether there is a chance, we can only pin our hopes on Li Yao now." Xue Xue Jiulan checked the time and continued, "There are still twenty-one minutes until those level 35 top-tier professionals arrive at the scene."

"As long as he can drag it out, we can achieve zero casualties from the crisis brought to us by the Titan race!"

At this time,

the battle on the ground had already entered a white-hot state.

With the help of the puppets, the examinees were in a much better situation; they couldn't solve the flying insect monsters in a short time, but the flying insects couldn't do anything to them either.

Several top professionals had already encountered the Bone-Splitting Larva.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng was in a state of weakness and could only use sword energy to attack from a distance.

Of course,

the sword strike he had charged up managed to cross twenty levels, severing hundreds of tentacles and causing significant damage.

The Bone-Splitting Larva was huge, and its main body moved slowly.

With many tentacles missing, Ji Nie Yuan and the others could fight it for a short time and leave scars on its body.

The most miserable was Mi Sha.

As the main tank, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall Buddha, directly resisting the tentacles and fighting face-to-face.

Even with several healing professionals watching from behind, new wounds kept appearing on his body.

Countless skills bombarded the Bone-Splitting Larva, splashing up a large amount of dust and rubble.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The Bone-Splitting Larva let out a piercing roar.

It kept using its tentacles to counterattack Ji Nie Yuan and the others.

Ji Nie Yuan took the opportunity to step on a tentacle, dragging his war hammer, and ran straight to the back of the Bone-Splitting Larva.

He started the "injury-for-injury" tactic again.

He once again initiated the tactic of trading injury for injury.
