Chapter 291

Hearing this, Li Yao cast an Appraisal.

【The Primal Appraisal can only appraise creatures of True Name rank and below. This creature exceeds that range and cannot be appraised!】

Li Yao was slightly stunned.

"In other words,"

the entire 【Core Jianyan Grotto】

is actually an abyssal creature that has transcended the True Name rank?

The deep, dark seabed.

A patch of 'ground' heaved upward.

Beneath the ground was a membrane, white all over, emitting a faint halo of light.

Looking from afar,

it was actually a pair of eyeballs, each as large as several football fields.

They moved in the depths of the seabed, accompanied by a 'rumbling' sound.

Every movement stirred up a massive amount of mud and silt on the seabed.

The seabed was pitch black.

Although the eyeballs were huge, the light they emitted couldn't even illuminate a portion of their own body.

At this moment,

a school of giant, glowing fish swam over from the distance.

It was like a beam of light suddenly striking a dark room.

As the light shone, the owner of those giant eyeballs turned out to be an indescribably super-giant crab.

Every protrusion on its body could be described as a mountain!

With a fleeting glance, it noticed the school of fish swimming over.

A crack suddenly opened on one of the 'mountains' on its body.

Like a whale, it sucked the countless glowing fish into its mouth and then snapped shut rapidly.

After swallowing the school of fish,

the crab continued to move slowly in a certain direction, as if nothing had happened.

It was indeed a crab.

It was walking sideways.

And those glowing fish,

if a professional above the Fifth Rank were here,

they would certainly discover that

these tiny specks of dust and shrimp in front of the crab

were each a super-large Lord-level monster above level 100!

"We are inside a super-large creature?"

Wei Hai was stunned,

unable to react for a moment.

"From the looks of it, that should be the case."

Li Yao lowered his eyelids slightly.

He knew the dungeon was a projection of a place in the Outer Domain Abyss.

He hadn't expected it to be this absurd—to actually be inside a living creature?

Li Yao took out the teleportation array disk and tried to activate it,

but found there was no response at all.

There were only two reasons for this situation:

The distance was too great,

or there were spatial restrictions in the surroundings.

Li Yao leaned toward the first reason.

It seemed he still had to find a way to get out first.

Li Yao thought to himself.

Miss Jiutiao Meise also walked over at this time.

"Li Yao-kun, what do you plan to do?"

"Go to the dungeon starting point first."

Li Yao said.

Upon entering the 【Core Jianyan Grotto】, there was only one path forward.

Behind them was blocked by an air wall.

Now that it wasn't a dungeon and there was no air wall, that side was the only path to choose.

"Mm." Miss Jiutiao Meise nodded; she had been thinking the same thing.

"Hey, hey, we're inside a monster, and you two are this calm?"

Although Wei Hai pretended to be joking,

Li Yao could hear a trace of tremor in his voice.

It seemed he

wanted to get some comfort from Li Yao,

such as 'guaranteeing we can return safely to Blue Star, back to Jingcheng.'

At this very moment, deep in the Abyss, only Li Yao could give him that sense of security.

He was actually doing okay.

Li Yao and Miss Jiutiao Meise did not lower their voices.

The knights behind them, after recovering from their injuries,

were all in a state of panic.

Those healing-type girls were even more tearful, huddled together and sobbing softly.

Faced with the unknown, the fear in one's heart would be infinitely magnified.

But Li Yao knew

that fear was useless.

What needed to be done now was to exhaust every means to get out of this creature's body.

"Let's go, you can treat this as a dungeon raid."

Li Yao thought for a moment and offered some comfort.

"The Core Jianyan Grotto is only a level 35 dungeon; the surrounding areas shouldn't be much stronger."

"Hearing you say that, I don't seem to be as afraid anymore." Wei Hai immediately perked up.

He was a top-tier knight over level forty.

A level 35 dungeon—

what was there to be afraid of!

He immediately ran over to his brothers,

chattering away about something.

Li Yao heard a bit of it

and knew he was encouraging those knights.

In this unknown territory,

boosting morale was very important.

Li Yao was not in a hurry and looked at the young lady beside him,

his eyes flickering slightly.

"What? Moved this time?"

Miss Jiutiao Meise chuckled.

Li Yao surprisingly did not refute.

The other party had every opportunity to use a teleportation item at the first moment to leave this place,

yet she stayed behind to warn him.

Regardless of the motive,

this point

Li Yao could not deny.

At this moment,

Wei Hai had comforted his knight brothers,

and incidentally, those healing-type girls also looked much better.

Normal movement should be no problem.

As it currently appeared,

inside this giant monster,

they shouldn't encounter any danger.

Miss Jiutiao Meise, however, curled her lips in disdain.

With this kind of resilience,

needing Li Yao-kun's comfort—

she really didn't know how they became professionals.

Li Yao took the lead and walked to the very front.

Miss Jiutiao Meise suddenly leaned over

and whispered in Li Yao's ear,

"Even if I had to choose ten thousand times again,"

"I would still make the same decision."

Li Yao acted as if he hadn't heard and led the team in front.

Of course,

in reality, it was Kazik, walking in the very front in a stealth state,

and he would inform Li Yao of any movement.

Miss Jiutiao Meise walked quietly by Li Yao's side.

Looking from afar, she had an 'unapproachable' air,

but if one looked closely, one could see a faint, elusive smile on her face.

Little master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

It seemed

coming to this hellish place

wasn't entirely a bad thing!

In Miss Jiutiao Meise's eyes,

the 'progress bar' exclusive to Li Yao-kun

had risen by a huge chunk!

Walking in an area where magma frequently appeared,

if not for the Appraisal skill,

Li Yao would find it hard to imagine that this was inside a living creature.

Suddenly,

Li Yao raised his hand.

"Wait a moment."

"There are living things ahead."

Everyone was startled and hurriedly stopped their steps.

"Captain Li Yao, are they monsters? How is their strength?"

The healing-type professional Wang Wang Yuetong asked in a trembling voice, whispering.

The distance was too far;

Li Yao could not judge for the time being.

With unknown creatures, Li Yao didn't dare let Kazik get too close.

Simply,

he summoned the Void Sea Worm, which darted out in a flash.

Everyone waited patiently on the side for the result.

Li Yao's somewhat heavy expression

made them feel a bit palpitated.

A few breaths later,

Li Yao was suddenly startled,

then said indifferently,

"South of the starting point, there is a very wide, pitch-black area containing many super-large monsters that stretch beyond sight."

"They are motionless; I cannot be sure if they are still alive."

"At the same time, many unknown creatures are gnawing on these super-giant monsters."

"Unknown creatures? What about their strength and appearance?" Miss Jiutiao Meise threw out several questions in a row. "How many is 'many'?"

Others also looked at Li Yao with rapid breathing.

"Their size is within the normal range, about two meters tall. Their appearance is unclear; the only light source over there is the tiny bit of firelight leaking from the 【Core Jianyan Grotto】."

"As for specific strength, that summon of mine has already been eaten, so I cannot perceive it."

Li Yao recalled the Void Sea Worm into the Chess Piece Space.

Although it was eaten,

the Void Sea Worm could not be killed.

Aside from a bit of suffocation, it was still alive and well.

"But what is certain is that their Agility attribute is at least two thousand or higher."

"I only saw a portion of their numbers, at least five hundred."

To be able to swallow the Sea Worm instantly, it was impossible without an Agility of two thousand.

When the others heard the terrifying figure of two thousand,

they had long since panicked.

This value

meant that once encountered, none of them could escape!

This was not a dungeon!

They couldn't use teleportation items to get away.

If they ran into them, there would be only one dead end!

Only Wei Hai could barely remain calm.

"Everyone, pull yourselves together! With Captain Li Yao here, we definitely won't lack output capability!"

"We have healers, knights, and buff-type professionals!"

"It's almost a perfect configuration!"

"There will always be a way!"

Wei Hai spoke with righteous indignation to boost morale,

then leaned over to Li Yao and said cautiously:

"I'm right, aren't I?"

"Captain Li Yao?"
