Chapter 386

It was unclear who it was,

but among the few remaining knight-class practitioners on the Asura Kingdom side, a scream suddenly erupted.

"Run!"

But how could they run?

The anti-air stone array that Odala had set up himself had instead cut off any hope of escape for the Asura Kingdom practitioners.

They had almost no power to resist.

With the Devourer in front and the dozens of Dragon Nation practitioners led by Shang Ziyu behind,

in less than a few minutes,

the ten knight-class practitioners plus the priest Odala were all tied up like rice dumplings with special ropes and tossed aside.

At this moment, Li Yao and Xue Jiuling also climbed down from the Devourer's back

and recalled the Devourer into the Chess Piece Space.

After all, that thing was too big; it was quite scary standing behind them.

Not until the Devourer disappeared did Shang Ziyu walk over to Li Yao with a smile.

"Brother Li Yao, I'll take this bunch back to Jingyu and hand them over to the higher-ups to deal with."

"Killing them is probably unlikely, but exchanging them for some strategic resources for the Dragon Nation is possible. You should receive an extra reward."

"Senior Shang, handle it as you see fit," Li Yao said indifferently.

He personally felt that killing them would be better.

It wasn't because these Asura Kingdom practitioners had high talent or posed a threat or anything.

It was just that the practitioner who summoned the statue had set up an anti-air stone array.

Since they had murderous intent toward him, they deserved to die.

That was all.

"Then, regarding the heart of the lake this time..." Shang Ziyu blushed slightly, not knowing how to bring it up.

Logically speaking,

if not for Li Yao, he and the others would never have been able to seize the heart of the lake, so it should rightfully belong to Li Yao.

But he was currently in urgent need of a Sorrowful Crystal for his third class advancement.

If it were ordinary times, delaying it for a while wouldn't be a big deal.

But next month was the time to select participants for the national border trial. Without a perfect third advancement, he really wasn't confident he could participate.

"Brother Li Yao, how does this sound to you?"

Shang Ziyu thought for a moment and said,

"Consider it as you lending me an entry opportunity. You aren't level 40 yet; before you reach level 40, I will definitely find you one..."

"Senior Shang," Li Yao interrupted, "have you forgotten what I said when I came up?"

"Huh?" Shang Ziyu was stunned.

Xue Jiuling reminded him with a smile, "Senior Shang, hurry and go in. You opened the dungeon; Li Yao won't fight you for it!"

"But only once, okay? The remaining two opportunities must belong to Li Yao!"

Shang Ziyu was overjoyed. "How could I be so embarrassed?"

As he spoke, he began to select people to enter the lake, as he couldn't defeat a level 35 lord monster alone.

At this time,

Xue Jiuling suddenly noticed the two people standing behind Shang Ziyu:

Xu Fei and Fu Hong.

The two were burying their heads, just like students afraid of being called on by a teacher in class.

They were still noticed by Xue Jiuling.

Xu Fei hurriedly stepped forward and affectionately took Xue Jiuling's arm. "Jiuling, I was worried to death when I saw you two didn't come up."

"I was just about to ask Senior Shang to take people down to meet you."

"Luckily, Senior Shang told me you went to ambush the Asura Kingdom practitioners, so I didn't go down and ruin things!"

Xu Fei spoke half-truths, looked toward Li Yao, and complimented him with a smile, "I was still worried that with just the two of you facing so many Asura practitioners, you might encounter danger. Now it seems, you truly are worthy of being the national top scorer!"

However,

having spent years by Xue Jiulan's side, Xue Jiuling was not someone easily fooled.

"Worried?"

"I think you were worried about yourself, right?"

Xue Jiuling snorted coldly, not even glancing at her. "By the way, Senior Shang, there's something I want to ask."
