Chapter 321

~7 min read 1,237 words

At that cave entrance, no insect monsters had flown out for a while.

It seemed that after that giant dragon went in, it hadn't appeared again.

In that case, is the giant dragon an ally?!

Thinking of this, all the examinees felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

It must be reinforcements sent by the officials!

General Xue really is something!

To think she could even command the Dragon race!

At this very moment,

Xue Jiulan looked at the big screen, looking puzzled.

Why have these guys suddenly become so excited?

First, Zhang Liyu wasn't afraid of the insect attacks and gathered Qi to release a major move, and then Qin Xuejun went all out to summon a thousand magic puppets.

Because she had to consider the big picture, Xue Jiulan didn't focus on Li Yao's side, but instead kept a close watch on the situation of the other examinees on the ground.

Just at this moment,

Xue Jiulan discovered that the other few officials who had been talking incessantly hadn't made a single sound.

The entire central control room was terrifyingly quiet.

Xue Jiulan looked over in the direction of their gazes.

In Li Yao's feed, the figure of a youth in black clothes appeared.

"A human?"

No, not a human.

Almost instantly, Xue Jiulan's expression became incomparably cold.

A single horn, cracks.

It's the Titan Clan!

She could now be almost certain that this disaster was definitely caused by that forbidden crystal from the Yan family!

"What's the situation? How strong is this Titan Clan member?"

Xue Jiulan asked.

The three officials were silent, and no one answered her question.

After a long while,

Wang Shihui said with a tremor: "It's over, it's all over!"

"What do you mean?" Xue Jiulan's heart skipped a beat.

"It's a Named-tier monster. According to a preliminary deduction from the footage, its level is around 35."

Hua Qianshuang's face was pale, her hands hanging limply at her sides.

"Named-tier?" Xue Jiulan found it hard to believe. Looking at the youth in black on the screen, she whispered in a low, heavy voice, "Why would it be Named-tier?"

Subsequently, she remembered Li Yao's track record and slammed the table.

"No, there's still a chance!"

"Li Yao, he might be able to win!"

"Xue Jiulan, what nonsense are you spouting!" Wang Shihui was furious, not even using the respectful title for a general, calling her by her name directly. "I'll say it again, this is a Named-tier! Named-tier!"

"As a general, you know the terror of Named-tier monsters better than anyone. How could you say such things?"

A Named-tier monster is almost the strongest monster one can encounter in a dungeon.

Even in low-level dungeons, even at Purgatory difficulty, it's impossible to encounter a Named-tier monster.

Unless some hidden mechanism is triggered, there is only a small probability of it appearing.

Only in high-tier dungeons above the fourth advancement can practitioners have the chance to see the true form of a Named-tier monster.

This is also why

many countries have a large number of high-tier dungeons at Purgatory difficulty that have yet to be cleared.

Named-tier is the biggest obstacle for practitioners clearing dungeons.

In small dungeons for five or ten people, if you encounter a Named-tier, don't even think about it, just run away. Only those large-scale dungeons for a hundred people have the qualifications to crusade against a Named-tier monster!

Now Xue Jiulan is actually telling him that Li Yao has a chance to defeat the opponent alone?

It's no wonder he's so angry; this Xue Jiulan is treating him like a monkey!

Summoning a giant dragon creature was enough to prove Li Yao's strength, and Wang Shihui had gone from initial disdain to now treating Li Yao as the savior of this disaster.

But wanting to defeat a Named-tier, Wang Shihui was the first not to believe it!

What's more, this Titan Clan member wasn't even at the same level as Li Yao.

It was a full ten levels higher!

How to fight? How to fight that!

Facing Wang Shihui's questioning, Xue Jiulan didn't say much.

Li Yao had two experiences of defeating Named-tier monsters.

But those two times, at the Tower of Heaven and the Trial Cube, both sides were roughly at the same level.

So Xue Jiulan didn't have absolute certainty either.

Even if he couldn't win, he should be able to hold on for a while, right?

As long as he can drag it out until those high-level practitioners arrive and gather the strength of a hundred people, there should be a chance to defeat this Named-tier!

"That doesn't seem right!"

Su Changqing, who hadn't spoken, suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He pointed at the screen: "Please zoom in here a bit."

The technical staff hurriedly complied, and Xue Jiulan and the others looked over.

The atmosphere in the footage—just by one look, everyone judged that the two were contending with their auras.

Compared to Li Yao's ease and casualness, it was actually this Named-tier monster

that looked a bit strained?

Everyone couldn't help but doubt their own eyes.

"Could it be that there really is a chance?"

Wang Shihui didn't care about losing face anymore; as long as Li Yao could defeat it now—no, even if he could just hold off this Named-tier, he would be willing even if Li Yao slapped him twice in the face!

This concerns the lives of dozens of top examinees.

"Regardless of whether there's a chance, we can only pin our hopes on Li Yao now." Xue Jiulan glanced at the time and continued, "There are still twenty-one minutes until those level 35 top practitioners arrive at the scene."

"As long as he can drag it out, we can achieve zero casualties in this crisis brought to us by the Titan Clan!"

At this time,

the battle on the ground had already entered a white-hot state.

With the assistance of the magic puppets, the examinees' situation was much better; they couldn't eliminate the insect monsters in a short time, but the insects couldn't do anything to them either.

Several top practitioners had already encountered the Bone-Splitting Larva.

Zhang Liyu had fallen into a weakened state and could only use sword Qi to attack from a distance.

Of course,

the sword strike he charged up forcibly crossed twenty levels, severing hundreds of tentacles and causing significant damage.

The Bone-Splitting Larva was massive, and its main body moved slowly.

With many tentacles missing, for a short time, Ji Yuan and the others could also engage it and leave scars on its body.

The most miserable was Mi Shaluo.

As the main tank, he transformed into a ten-meter-tall Buddha, directly taking the tentacles head-on and engaging in face-to-face combat.

Even with several healing practitioners behind him keeping a close watch, new wounds kept appearing on his body.

Countless skills bombarded the Bone-Splitting Larva, splashing up a large amount of smoke and gravel.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The Bone-Splitting Larva let out a piercing hiss.

It kept using its tentacles to strike back at Ji Yuan and the others.

Ji Yuan took the opportunity to step on a tentacle, dragging his war hammer, and charged straight to the back of the Bone-Splitting Larva.

He opened up the "trading damage for damage" tactic again.
