Chapter 301

The ground and the giant trees seemed to have their colors reversed.

The former was ink-green, the latter was earthy brown.

Of course,

perhaps for the abyss,

this reversal was actually normal.

"But, where is the sea? Where is the Endless Sea?"

Li Yao looked around.

In front were flat plains and giant trees, and behind was a continuous range of volcanic mountains.

Wait,

Li Yao's pupils shrank.

He looked at the mountains behind him.

He had drifted over from that side.

Was that...

the Flame Seat Crab?

Looking at it,

there were thousands of volcanic peaks, and he couldn't see the end at all.

The orange-red color of the sky was precisely dyed by the magma erupting wantonly from these.

Between the volcanoes were flowing rivers of magma, endless.

All of this,

was it one creature?

A creature that isolated the entire coastline?

【Original Appraisal Skill can only appraise True Name-level and below creatures; this creature transcends this range, unable to appraise!】

"So beautiful."

At this time,

Hearing Lingxin's soft voice echoed in Li Yao's sea of consciousness.

Li Yao finally recovered from his shock.

He turned his head to look.

Hearing Lingxin, lying on his shoulder,

was looking at the sunset in the distance; the sky was dyed one color by the magma, truly vast and boundless!

Li Yao didn't disturb her,

but had the Blue Bird land as soon as possible to leave this place.

No one knew if that behemoth, composed of thousands of mountains,

would suddenly sneeze

and accidentally kill them.

Only by staying away until the volcanic group was out of sight

could they be truly safe!

Everyone landed on the ground,

stepping on the ink-green earth.

The ground was a bit damp and soft, but it didn't affect their progress.

At Li Yao's instruction,

everyone didn't stop,

moving toward the depths of the ink-green earth as soon as they landed.

Behind them was the sea,

so walking inward was definitely the right choice!

Even the Floating Water Spirit tribe, who lived in the front sea area, followed Li Yao and the others.

Just as Li Yao said,

waiting here for the Flame Seat Crab to return to the deep sea,

it was hard to guarantee that the Flame Seat Crab could remain stationary.

For such a behemoth, even a slight movement

was a cataclysmic disaster for weak creatures!

After moving several kilometers away from the Flame Seat Crab,

only the last trace of afterglow remained in the sky.

"Li Yao, isn't it too quiet here?"

Kujō Mise asked, her face showing signs of fatigue.

"It's normal."

Li Yao looked back at the Flame Seat Crab, which still had no visible top.

He really didn't know how big this guy was!

"The momentum invisibly radiated by the Flame Seat Crab makes no creature dare to set foot here."

"Can you feel it, Li Yao?"

Kujō Mise also knew a little about momentum,

but she didn't perceive anything unusual.

"Mm," Li Yao nodded solemnly, "It's a very dangerous momentum, one where you could be killed at any time."

"Is it still there now?" Kujō Mise was startled.

"It's faded a lot, but it's still there."

Kujō Mise shrank her neck and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Li Yao smiled:

"Actually, you don't need to be nervous."

"Even at this position, with the Flame Seat Crab's size, it could kill us at any time."

"The danger is fading, which means the source of the danger isn't the Flame Seat Crab attacking actively,"

"but just the Flame Seat Crab's unintentional actions."

"This position is already considered safe."

"That's good," Kujō Mise breathed a sigh of relief,

then froze, her face turning slightly red: "Li Yao, are you mocking me?"

"Mm," Li Yao said noncommittally.

"You..." Kujō Mise just wanted to explain that she wasn't afraid,

when she suddenly realized something.

Her expression returned to normal,

and she slightly raised her snow-white chin, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Is that so? Why do I feel like you are comforting me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

"With you here, what could hurt me?"

Kujō Mise feigned a delicate woman's posture.

"Li Yao, you will protect me, right?"

Her white-stockinged legs twisted together as she looked at Li Yao timidly.

The contrast of her cold, beautiful appearance with such a posture

created a visual impact that no ordinary person could withstand!

Li Yao withstood it: "Green tea, stay aside."

"Green tea?"

"Li Yao-kun, are you thirsty?"

As a Sakura Kingdom person, Kujo Mise naturally didn't know what 'green tea' meant.

Wei Hai whispered a popular science explanation:

"Looks pure and lovely, but is actually very pretentious, a scheming woman with a set of tricks."

Kujo Mise: "..."

It's fine.

At least in Li Yao-kun's eyes, I am pure and lovely.

The group walked for a while longer.

The brown trees gradually became denser,

and their size was gradually shrinking.

The old patriarch, following at the very back of the team, floated in front of Li Yao

and extended a water-flow tentacle.

Li Yao noticed Hearing Lingxin on his shoulder;

he didn't know when it had changed from azure blue to its current deep purple.

The old patriarch's aged voice sounded:

"Li Yao, we can only walk to here."

"The moisture is starting to thin; if we keep walking, it will be difficult for us to survive."

"That's fine," Li Yao nodded without saying more.

Under the prestige of the Flame-Seat Crab, it was considered safe here.

If they kept walking, even if they weren't affected by the moisture,

on the return journey, the Floating Water Spirit clan might also encounter danger.

"Then, before parting, please accept the highest blessing of the Floating Water Spirit clan."

Hearing Lingxin leaped down from his shoulder

and followed the old patriarch back into the clan.

Then,

all the water spirits knelt down,

as if worshiping a god, extremely devout!

Everyone was slightly shocked.

They couldn't imagine

that Captain Li Yao was so noble in the hearts of the alien race.

However,

thinking about it slightly, it was actually considered normal.

If they had been locked up in some place for hundreds of years

and someone brought them to escape and see the light of day,

they would probably also express such high gratitude.

【Congratulations!】

【Professional received the supreme blessing of the entire 'Floating Water Spirit' clan.】

【Obtained Heavenly Dao Blessing: Heart Perception】

【Heart Perception (SSS-grade active skill): For clans that hold goodwill toward oneself, the professional can communicate with them through contact without cooldown; no energy consumption.】

Li Yao was stunned.

He didn't refuse the Floating Water Spirit clan's expression of respect

because he wanted them to release this feeling of gratitude and communicate as equals thereafter.

He didn't expect

there would be an unexpected joy!

This SSS-grade skill, looking at its introduction, should be similar to the water-flow communication with Hearing Lingxin and the others,

except it requires clans that hold goodwill.

This point wasn't difficult for Li Yao.

If there was goodwill, then communicate directly;

if there was no goodwill, then beat them until there was goodwill.

Methods are always more than difficulties.

In the future, exploring the Abyss, this skill would be able to play a huge role!

Hearing Lingxin suddenly floated in front of Li Yao.

Li Yao took the initiative to step forward.

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

Water-flow contact.

Li Yao said: "Hearing Lingxin, if I want to find you, what should I do?"

What he said before wasn't just polite words!

Coming to the Abyss this time

was unexpected,

and in the short dozen hours in the Abyss,

seeing a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Abyss,

Li Yao's desire to explore this territory

had risen infinitely!

How big is the Abyss?

How strong are the alien monsters?

What kind of strange things would he encounter?

Most importantly,

the leveling speed here is far from what the Blue Star can compare to!

Admittedly,

it is very dangerous here,

but opportunity and danger coexist.

As long as you have strength, this is heaven!

His teacher and Senior Hua and the others

were able to reach the Sixth Rank or even Seventh Rank at such a young age;

they must have stepped into the Abyss, right?

Hearing Lingxin handed a seashell to Li Yao.

"Call my name toward this seashell, and I will come to find you."

A pleasant and crisp female voice sounded in his consciousness.

Hearing Lingxin said seriously: "No matter where!"

"Good," Li Yao took it solemnly and carefully put it into his storage ring.

"Li Yao..."

Hearing Lingxin seemed to want to say something else, but never said it out loud.

A thousand words finally turned into one sentence:

"Thank you."

The Floating Water Spirit clan stayed behind to garrison,

and Li Yao and the others continued forward.

According to the old patriarch,

walking along the east,

the first mountain range seen is the edge of the Titan clan's territory.

Li Yao took out the teleportation array disk.
