Chapter 293

"In other words, those parasites are actually working for the Flame Seat Crab. What about you?"

Li Yao asked.

"We..."

The liquid inside Hearing Lingxin turned a pale purple, representing melancholy.

Its tone had a hint of fluctuation.

"We are the residents who had no choice."

"Swallowed in here by the Flame Seat Crab by accident, we can only continue our existence in this place."

Li Yao heard the strange tone in Hearing Lingxin's voice and did not continue to ask further.

Everyone crossed the white light, traversed the shallow water beach, and arrived at a place similar to an island in the middle of a lake.

There was a large tree on the island.

Beneath the large tree, there were some open seashells,

and the pearls inside emitted a dazzling light source,

illuminating the entire area brightly.

On the leaves of the large tree, many Floating Water Spirits, just like Hearing Lingxin, were attached.

"They are here."

There was no need for Hearing Lingxin to remind them;

Li Yao had already perceived

that incomparably massive malice behind them.

Even he

felt a trace of horror!

Everyone withdrew their gazes with difficulty,

slowly turned around,

and saw countless pairs of cold eyes in the darkness behind them.

They were hiding on both sides of the light source,

staring fixedly at Li Yao and the others.

【Dark Scavenger】

【Level 65 (Reinforced Elite)】

【Strength: 2415】

"Good thing we weren't impulsive at the time."

With these attributes

and such a large quantity,

an unprepared encounter

would have instantly broken through the Devourer's defense line and devoured all the chess pieces.

"Gainerat."

Li Yao called out.

"Boom!"

A colossal beast descended from the sky!

It splashed up a large amount of dust.

Without Li Yao needing to remind it,

a mouthful of dragon flames erupted.

"Boom boom boom!"

This dragon breath was like a flood beast,

stimulating the parasites hiding in the darkness to scatter in a rush!

In that brief instant, Li Yao still saw their true faces:

entirely miserable green, bodies like wolves but without hair,

on top was a taro-like head with a large mouth full of sharp teeth,

limbs were thick and sturdy, feet were like fish webs, and the tail was a fish tail over a meter long.

The dragon breath was still burning,

and the light source brought by the flames made this group of parasites unable to approach.

The parasites slowly retreated into the darkness, and countless pairs of cold eyes gradually decreased.

"Afraid of light?" A smile hung on Li Yao's lips.

In this way,

with Gainerat's flames,

there was no need to fear this group of creatures.

At this time,

Kujo Mise touched Li Yao's arm.

Li Yao turned his head to look at Hearing Lingxin and the others.

Including Hearing Lingxin, on the leaves, all the Floating Water Spirits had turned deep red, representing fear.

Pairs of pitch-black eyes

stared fixedly at Gainerat beside Li Yao.

Li Yao walked a few steps closer to Hearing Lingxin,

intending to make contact and communicate.

Hearing Lingxin hesitated for a few breaths before trembling and extending a water-flow tentacle.

"Is... is that the Great Dark Winged Dragon?"

Li Yao was slightly stunned, wondering why Hearing Lingxin knew everything.

"That's right, it is my partner, you don't need to be afraid."

As he spoke, Li Yao told Gainerat to retract into the chess piece space.

Seeing this, Hearing Lingxin's mood finally stabilized, and the liquid color gradually turned orange-red.

Hearing Lingxin's pleasantly surprised voice sounded: "Partner?"

"Li Yao, you can actually become partners with the Great Dark Winged Dragon?"

"That is the Great Dark Winged Dragon!"

"At the very worst, it can grow into a Hegemon-level creature like the Flame-Seat Crab!"

Li Yao then realized

it wasn't that Hearing Lingxin knew a lot,

but that the Great Dark Winged Dragon was famous in the Abyss!

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Li Yao changed the subject and asked his guess:

"Hearing Lingxin, is that group of guys afraid of light?"

"That's right, but to be precise, it's strong light," Hearing Lingxin replied.

Strong light?

Li Yao looked at the faint orange light emitted from Hearing Lingxin's body.

This was a very soft light,

not enough to be called strong light, and it couldn't drive away the parasites.

"I just saw that group of parasites, and forgive me for being blunt, you are very weak; if touched by a parasite, you are almost certain to die."

"Why would you appear in that kind of place?"

"Li Yao, you are right; useless things like us are originally on the parasites' menu."

"They are afraid of light, so we need light."

"Without light, the parasites can very easily invade our clan."

"So, whenever the Flame-Seat Crab swallows light-emitting creatures,"

"we have to get ahead of the parasites and obtain the light source first."

"Light source..." Li Yao said softly, and took out a special flashlight from his storage ring.

Flashlights—this kind of thing,

almost every professional's storage ring

would be prepared with one or two.

With a 'click,' Li Yao turned on the switch.

A beam of light shone out.

Hearing Lingxin saw this light source, which was brighter than a pearl,

and its body suddenly turned azure blue.

That represented happiness and excitement.

It spun a few times in the air, dancing gracefully,

and pleaded: "Can you gift the light source to me?"

"Of course," Li Yao said without any hesitation.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

Hearing this, the azure light on Hearing Lingxin's body became even more charming.

"What are you talking about?" Wei Hai suddenly asked.

This puddle of liquid

was like a seven-colored lamp,

changing colors back and forth;

he was truly very curious!

Li Yao smiled.

"You all have flashlights, right?"

Although everyone was puzzled, they still nodded.

"Keep two for backup, and give the rest to me."

After checking the remaining battery, Li Yao placed a dozen flashlights on the ground.

He explained to Hearing Lingxin: "This is the switch."

Hearing Lingxin tried to touch it.

A bright beam of light shone out instantly.

Hearing Lingxin, like a butterfly, was so happy that it kept spinning in the air.

"One can last for about ten days; after ten days, it will lose its effect."

"If you possess the lightning attribute, it can last even longer."

"Thank you so much!"

Hearing Lingxin thanked Li Yao in a devout tone.

They didn't have the lightning attribute.

One lasted ten days,

so this was one hundred days.

For a race like theirs,

which had to race against the Grim Reaper every day to survive,

wasn't this a kind of hope?

At this time,

the Floating Water Spirits active on the large tree, as if attracted by the light source, floated over one after another,

circling and flying beside the beam of light,

resembling a small vortex.

Every Floating Water Spirit emitted an azure blue halo.

Strong light could drive away parasites

and could also be used to carry the light source out to find food.

For the Floating Water Spirit clan, it was the hope of life.

Seeing this scene, everyone opened their mouths slightly, amazed.

A few young girls couldn't help but whisper:

"So beautiful."

To express their gratitude,

the Floating Water Spirit clan hosted a banquet for Li Yao and the others.

The food for the banquet was raw fish,

taken from the lake around the island in the middle of the lake.

Fish and seaweed were the main food sources for the Floating Water Spirit clan.

Being able to use fish as banquet food showed how much they valued Li Yao and the others.

While eating sashimi, they chatted freely with the Floating Water Spirit clan.

Hearing Lingxin was unwilling to touch Wei Hai,

but other Floating Water Spirits were willing.

You connect to me, I connect to you—

everyone and the Floating Water Spirits formed a circle linked by water flow.

After chatting for a while,

Li Yao and Miss Jiutiao Meise exchanged glances

and looked at Hearing Lingxin beside them, asking the question they cared about most:

"Hearing Lingxin, can you tell me how to leave the Flame Seat Crab?"

Hearing Lingxin blinked its eyeballs and didn't answer, instead looking toward the elderly clan leader.

"Hearing Lingxin, tell the guests."

"Although it's dangerous, they have the right to know."

"Okay, Clan Leader."

Hearing Lingxin put down the sashimi in its hand, and the azure blue light on its body had a tendency to evolve into deep red.

Red

represented fear.
