Chapter 195
When he opened his eyes again,
Li Yao found himself in a sea of sand.
The wind and sand blew, making it hard for Li Yao to open his eyes.
Ant Disaster Cavern—cavern, so it's underground, right?
"Devourer."
The Devourer descended from the sky, its massive size instantly creating a huge crater where it landed!
A pitch-black cavern appeared before Li Yao's eyes.
"It looks a bit like that cavern in the Bone-Shattering Desert."
"Swish, swish, swish."
A sound of sand being trampled came from within.
Dozens of milky-white ants, half a meter in size, rushed out of the hole and instantly covered the Devourer's entire body.
Li Yao scanned them with Appraisal.
Sand Nymph Ants, most were around level 20; they couldn't even trigger Combat Training.
However,
This should just be the first floor, right?
The Devourer ignored the Sand Nymph Ants crawling on it and leaped into the air, intending to do the same thing and stomp through the ground of this floor.
Unfortunately, the Devourer only sank half a meter and didn't cause the ground to collapse like before.
"It must be on the other side."
Li Yao wasn't surprised and summoned the Darkwing Black Dragon.
The three great Void Chess Pieces appeared together, and the Void Sea Worm also crawled out from who knows where.
Facing these low-level monsters, Li Yao didn't want to waste time.
"Sea Worm, go lure all these bugs together."
The Sea Worm had a taunt ability and high agility stats; it was perfect for luring monsters!
As he spoke, Li Yao led the several Chess Pieces deeper into the cavern.
As for the dozens of Sand Nymph Ants on the Devourer, they only dealt double-digit damage per hit, so there was no need to worry about them.
The cavern was very dim.
Aside from the smell of sand and soil, there were no other odors.
In Li Yao's perception, the Sea Worm had already run over a thousand meters, with a dense swarm of ant monsters following behind it.
As he walked, Li Yao discovered:
With those Sand Nymph Ants constantly biting, the Devourer's size, under the effect of Titan's Determination,
had reached thirty meters even without sharing 【Close as Neighbors】!
The cavern could no longer contain it, and it was stuck there, unable to move.
"Forgot about that," Li Yao chuckled.
"Lure them over first. Kill them in waves. With this quantity, there's no need to kite them; it'll actually save time."
Following Li Yao's command,
The Void Sea Worm quickly lured the ant army over.
Li Yao took a look; the number wasn't too exaggerated, about two hundred.
Even if they all attacked the Devourer, it would only be ten thousand damage per second.
Furthermore, they likely wouldn't even be able to touch the Devourer.
Li Yao let the several Chess Pieces perform freely.
Ice walls appeared, the earth cracked, countless earth spikes shot into the sky, and the Darkwing Black Dragon leaped up, hovering above the ice walls, spraying scorching dragon breath continuously.
The Immortal Thunder Rat transformed into a purple lightning bolt, darting through the ant swarm.
Countless damage values flashed frequently, almost filling the entire space.
In just a few seconds, the system panel began to refresh continuously.
【Killed Sand Nymph Ant, EXP +0. 1%】
【Killed Sand Nymph Ant, EXP +0. 1%】
【Killed Sand Nymph Ant, EXP +0. 1%】
"This experience is truly pitifully low!"
Li Yao spat softly, but didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, it was only the first floor, and the monsters weren't even as high-level as him, so low experience was normal.
Li Yao turned his head to look at the Void Mantis's position.
A smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
Unexpectedly, facing this kind of mob, the Void Mantis, which didn't even need to farm monsters, was the most tired Chess Piece!
It kept adjusting its position in the back so that the Chess Pieces releasing skills could receive the 【Close as Neighbors】 buff in time.
It was busy and flustered; it looked even more tired than if it had been sent to kill monsters!
Soon,
The Void Mantis stopped, and there was no movement from the ants behind the ice wall.
Li Yao glanced at his experience bar.
When he entered, he was at level 26, 82%; now he was at level 26, 85%.
"Oh?"
The leveling speed was much faster than expected!
It didn't look like much, but how long had he been in here!
From luring monsters to killing them, it took less than ten minutes, and he already had 3% experience.
In less than an hour, he could reach level 27!
Li Yao felt motivated and had the Sea Worm continue luring monsters.
There were still many monsters on this floor; he couldn't afford to delay.
About half an hour later,
Among the ants lured over by the Sea Worm, there was a level 30 Leader-level Sand Nymph Ant.
The Void Mantis finally had work to do; it appeared behind the leader in a flash and, as if venting, slashed directly at the junction of its head and body with one claw.
【- (Weakness Attack)】
The terrifying power almost sliced off half of the leader ant's head.
Seeing the ant with one-fifth of its health left, dying, Li Yao quickly told the Void Mantis to stop.
I told you to attack, not to go for the kill!
If you one-shot it, wouldn't the Devourer lose out on tens of thousands of health?
The Devourer hurried toward the leader and swallowed it in one bite.
【Killed a higher-level Leader-level creature, Sand Nymph Ant, EXP +3%】
【Void Devourer completed evolution consumption, gained maximum health】
The loot chest lay obediently on the ground.
Two teleportation vortexes appeared beside it.
One blue, representing leaving the dungeon.
One deep red, representing entering the next floor.
"So that's how you enter the second floor."
After picking up the chest, Li Yao stepped directly into the red vortex.
This short chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
The monsters on the second floor were level 30 to 40 Serrated Worker Ants.
Combat Training could already be triggered.
But Li Yao thought:
Break the clear record once first, get the rewards, and then consider Combat Training.
Therefore,
A slaughter similar to the first floor began again.
With a flash of golden light, Li Yao reached level 27.
Half an hour later, all ant monsters, including the leader-level ones, were killed.
Two vortexes appeared.
Experience reached level 27, 17%.
Although he didn't deliberately let the Void Mantis attack, it still managed to gain nearly one hundred points of strength attribute through its own ability.
At this time, its strength attribute had already reached over eight thousand two hundred.
"This efficiency is not bad," Li Yao bent down to pick up the loot chest. "The thirty points were well spent!"
If it weren't for Xiao Hei, if he had to explore on his own, he wouldn't know how many dungeons he'd have to try before finding one with such dense monsters and rich experience.
Li Yao stepped into the vortex.
The third floor was a bit different from the first two.
The terrain was wide, more than enough to accommodate the Devourer even at its full Titan size.
In front of him were three giant ant monsters.
Two were holding shields, in a defensive stance in front.
One had a small head and a long tail; one look and it was clear it was the final BOSS of the Ant Disaster Cavern.
Disaster Ant Queen, level 40 Lord-level!
"What a pity, the third floor is a BOSS floor, no mobs, can't farm Combat Training."
Li Yao sighed, and the five Chess Pieces swarmed forward.
For a leader of this level, Li Yao didn't need to take the field himself.
He didn't even need all five Chess Pieces.
