Chapter 295
Hearing Lingxin's pair of eyeballs blinked, and its body color turned pale purple.
Li Yao saw its worry and laughed: "Just as you said, I am very strong, so don't worry."
"But didn't the clan leader tell you?"
"The leader is True Name-level."
"True Name-level?" Li Yao tossed a piece of sashimi into his mouth.
"I don't know if I am True Name-level,"
"but I have slain a True Name-level."
Slain a True Name-level?
Li Yao's words left Hearing Lingxin stunned on the spot.
This was something it didn't even dare to think about.
But it didn't doubt Li Yao in the slightest.
A trace of yearning appeared in its eyes as it asked:
"Li Yao, is your clan as strong as you?"
"Uh..." Li Yao paused. "I don't know, maybe about the same."
"Wow! Your clan is so amazing!"
Unknowingly,
the color on Hearing Lingxin's body changed from purple to azure blue.
It was genuinely happy for Li Yao,
being able to do what he wanted to do.
Li Yao smiled faintly: "I think your clan is the amazing one."
Li Yao had used Appraisal before;
the Floating Water Spirit clan was almost entirely ordinary monsters,
and even the clan leader was only a reinforced monster,
not even counting as Elite-level.
The gap with True Name-level
was like the difference between heaven and earth!
"Being able to find a way to survive in such a harsh environment," Li Yao admired sincerely.
Hearing Lingxin seemed to be touched by what Li Yao said.
It looked up at the many little water spirits playing and frolicking in the dwelling
and said gloomily: "To survive, we sacrificed our freedom."
Hearing this, Li Yao was startled.
"Sorry."
Survival and freedom—this was indeed a cruel choice of one or the other
placed before the Floating Water Spirit clan.
"Why are you apologizing?" Hearing Lingxin asked, puzzled.
"Nothing." Li Yao shook his head and changed the subject: "Do you want to know about the outside world?"
"Yes!"
"I don't know much about the Abyss, but let me tell you about the world where our clan is."
Li Yao, as if telling a story,
described the blue sky, white clouds, mountains, and seas as best he could.
Even though Li Yao didn't have much talent for it,
Hearing Lingxin still listened extremely carefully.
A few hours later,
a breeze blew past.
The Floating Water Spirit clan all came to the lakeside to see Li Yao and the others off.
The old clan leader came to Li Yao, and the water flow touched Li Yao.
"I think you need a guide."
Hearing Lingxin floated out from the Floating Water Spirit clan.
"I appreciate the thought." Li Yao refused without hesitation.
Li Yao didn't think there would be any danger on this path;
it was nothing more than wasting some time and energy.
Having Hearing Lingxin lead the way would be much faster,
but it would also put Hearing Lingxin in danger.
The clan leader spoke: "The wind stops and starts; are you sure you can find the exit within twelve hours?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
If they couldn't find it, they would have to wait another two days.
Being inside a monster's body—this horrifying situation!
They didn't want to stay for even a second.
At the same time,
they also knew what Captain Li Yao meant
and were equally worried about Hearing Lingxin's safety.
For a moment, they looked at Captain Li Yao, hesitant and indecisive.
The clan leader continued: "Please give us a chance to repay your kindness."
Those flashlights could at least help the Floating Water Spirit clan have light for a hundred days,
and for the Floating Water Spirit clan to find so many light sources,
they would have to pay with at least ten lives!
Li Yao, however, laughed: "I can take Hearing Lingxin, on the condition that you all come together."
"Follow me together and leave the Flame Seat Crab's body!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
the scene fell into silence.
Li Yao could feel
the tentacle the clan leader had placed on him trembling slightly, uncontrollably.
The color of the Floating Water Spirit clan kept changing between red and blue.
Fear?
Excitement?
Li Yao didn't know,
but he had said what he needed to say.
How they chose was their own business.
Hearing Lingxin kept touching the old clan leader,
its pair of eyeballs full of anticipation.
After a long time,
the old clan leader finally spoke:
"To get out, we must pass the parasite leader hurdle."
"Sorry, I must be responsible for my clan members."
Just when Li Yao thought the other party was going to refuse,
a clan member ran into that large tree
and took out a scroll.
The clan leader took it and handed it to Li Yao.
"This is the Heavenly Dao Scroll."
"Leave your name, and if you can have a title..."
Speaking of this,
the color on the clan leader's body turned an extreme deep blue.
The water flow trembled, almost unable to maintain the connection to Li Yao.
"Our Floating Water Spirit clan is willing to pay any price for you!"
"Any."
"That won't be necessary."
Li Yao chuckled.
Being able to prepare this kind of thing,
it seemed the old clan leader had long had the intention of taking the clan members to escape,
just never having met a powerhouse who could possess a title.
Li Yao took the ink pen made of leaves from Hearing Lingxin.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone,
he wrote the two characters 'Li Yao' without hesitation.
In an instant,
the Heavenly Dao Scroll erupted with a violent luster.
Below the two characters 'Li Yao',
a line of dragon-flying, phoenix-dancing handwriting slowly emerged:
【Heavenly Dao bestows a name, engraved with true meaning!】
【Void Monarch, Yunding!】
Immediately after,
an incomparable aura
surged out from the Heavenly Dao Scroll.
The professionals behind Li Yao,
when facing this aura,
all showed expressions of horror.
Wei Hai muttered: "Captain Li Yao has become stronger again."
"Is this Li Yao-kun's aura?"
Miss Jiutiao Meise's eyes were full of disbelief.
With a 'whoosh,'
at this moment, all the Floating Water Spirits knelt on the ground.

Their liquid bodies collided with the ground,
emitting the sound of flowing water.
The old clan leader tremblingly touched Li Yao.
"Thank you so much!"
Li Yao did not stop them.
This was their yearning for freedom.
If it weren't for this,
they probably wouldn't have accepted his kindness.
"Let's get out first before saying words of thanks," Li Yao said with a smile.
"Okay."
The old clan leader withdrew the water-flow tentacle that was touching Li Yao.
"Guji Guji Guji Guji."
It kept saying something to the clan members.
Immediately after,
all the Floating Water Spirits except Hearing Lingxin merged into one.
After changing non-stop, they formed a larger Floating Water Spirit.
The Water Spirit jumped onto Li Yao's shoulder, its tentacle always connected to the back of Li Yao's head.
"This state is what we use when escaping."
"Our strength will increase slightly, but we cannot use Telepathy."
"From now on, I will point the way for you."
Li Yao nodded.
Following Hearing Lingxin's guidance,
he led everyone into the darkness.
Miss Jiutiao Meise walked by Li Yao's side,
turning on a backup flashlight.
The flashlight's light was like a sun in the dark area,
extremely conspicuous.
But after walking for a long time, they didn't find any parasites.
Everyone's mindset eased up a little.
After three hours of rapid travel,
the journey seemed to have no end.
The Flame Seat Crab was unimaginably huge.
Suddenly,
Hearing Lingxin moved slightly:
"The Flame Seat Crab is eating now."
"This is the food landing point. Quick, quick, leave this place!"
Hearing Lingxin emitted a deep red light.
Li Yao perceived the surroundings,
and it was so quiet he couldn't hear any movement!
He couldn't figure out how Hearing Lingxin judged it.
"Which way?" Li Yao asked decisively.
Hearing Lingxin pointed in a direction.
The flashlight shone over;
it was a steep slope.
Li Yao led everyone to rush over,
climbing for hundreds of meters before barely reaching the top.
On the other side of the slope,
they sized up the food landing area.
At this moment,
Li Yao felt a vibration inside the Flame Seat Crab for the first time,
and it was a violent vibration!
From the pitch-black surroundings, a 'rumbling' sound of flowing water suddenly came.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Another burst of sound, like thousands of creatures running, rushed over.
Li Yao was very familiar with this aura;
it was exactly that group of parasites.
However,
