Chapter 407

My guess was indeed correct!

Two methods of reproduction.

The Demon Insect race and Benefactor Xiao Bai's choices are the same.

The Spider Empress is born as a juvenile insect!

A juvenile form is enough to be evenly matched with me?

Li Yao secretly gasped.

These abyss creatures are truly unreasonable!

The job advancement quest is divided into two parts:

defeat it head-on or prevent the Spider Empress from being born.

Both can perfectly complete the quest.

Facing such an unsolvable creature,

Li Yao didn't even need to think before making up his mind:

prevent its birth!

Better safe than sorry!

If it were to escape,

a Spider Empress that has gained the ability to evolve

might be even more threatening than the entire Demon Insect race!

Li Yao's expression was grave as he touched Benefactor Xiao Bai and ordered:

"Eat this Titan corpse first, but do not breed a Mimic Demon Insect."

"Use the energy within it to breed the high-combat-power unit that can only be bred after reaching the complete form,"

"and have all the Demon Insect swarms march toward Area 246!"

"Very well, Master!"

Benefactor Xiao Bai could hear the seriousness in Li Yao's tone,

and didn't dare to delay,

immediately executing Li Yao's command.

The Demon Insect race entrenched in the Lost Forest all headed toward the Northern Area.

The surrounding Dragon-Blood Demon Insects also took to the air,

flying in the same direction.

Dense and numerous, the swarms filling the sky were like the end of the world.

Such a sight—

Ji Nie Yuan and the others naturally noticed it too,

and turned their heads to look over.

Li Yao didn't pay them any mind,

but instead looked at the three types of insects Benefactor Xiao Bai had bred in front of him.

One was a humanoid insect,

covered in black exoskeleton.

He cast Appraisal:

Level 65 Elite Monster.

Its strength was a notch stronger than the Lishan Demon Insects.

One was a turtle-like Demon Insect,

with astonishing defense, used to hold the front line.

The other was an enlarged version of the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect,

with extremely strong power.

Compared to the professionals participating in the national border trial,

excluding the captain-level ones,

a single enlarged Dragon-Blood Demon Insect could at least deal with five professionals!

"Master, there is another type of insect suitable for large-scale breeding: the Rift-Hoof Demon Insect."

"It needs to consume a target unit and then be bred specifically."

"For example, by consuming a fire-elemental creature, it can breed a Rift-Hoof Insect that is immune to fire elements."

Li Yao had seen this type of insect at the 【Insect Mother Battlefield】.

In just a few minutes,

the Insect Mother there had bred a swarm immune to fire elements

to resist Gainerat's dragon breath.

He had even had a headache over it at the time.

"I understand. Don't worry about that for now; prioritize breeding the enhanced Dragon-Blood Demon Insects."

"Yes, Master."

Benefactor Xiao Bai replied and silently began to breed.

Li Yao observed for a while;

the speed was about one per minute.

This ability is simply heaven-defying!

That's over a thousand Level 70 Lord-level monsters a day!

Of course,

this is under the condition of sufficient food.

With the corpses of the S-rank Sharp-Tooth Demon Insects

and the corpses of the seventeen-nation insect swarms,

that is why he said

that in a place like the Lost Continent,

the Demon Insect race is an unsolvable existence.

As long as they are given time,

even that Overlord-level giant spider is something they would dare to target!

Time passed slowly.

Li Yao stayed by Benefactor Xiao Bai's side just like that,

watching it breed insects.

He was waiting.

It wasn't just Li Yao;

as the sun slowly rose high into the sky,

Kujo Mise and all the Dragon Kingdom professionals felt their bodies becoming increasingly tense.

According to Li Yao's deduction,

the moment the Demigod race descends

is when the Dragon Kingdom's undercover agent will appear!

Soon,

a crisp system notification sound

rang in everyone's minds.

【National Border Trial Countdown: 15 natural days.】

【Demigod race restrictions lifted!】

【Given the Demigod race's excessive strength, they will be distributed in three directions: west of the forest, east of the forest, and south of the forest!】

【Special Note: Other races can obtain a large amount of kill points by killing Demigods; if the Demigod race kills other races, they can plunder half of the other races' points.】

【Your points may cause you to be hunted by the Demigod race.】

【Therefore, professionals, please cherish the time they are separated and prepare to defend against the Demigod race!】

【Now announcing the comprehensive point rankings:】

【NO. 1: Demon Insect race, points】

【NO. 2: Dragon Kingdom, points】

【NO. 3: Kimchi Kingdom, points】

【NO. 4:...】

As the voice faded,

"Swish!"

Li Yao appeared before everyone and said sternly:

"From now on, no one is allowed to move!"

"Kujo Mise."

"Yes," Kujo Mise took out her staff,

and 【Gaze of the Profound Field Star】 began to charge.

"Again?" Li Yao suddenly thought to himself.

That feeling of something being wrong appeared once more.

The last time was also when Kujo Mise was casting 【Gaze of the Profound Field Star】.

Li Yao lowered his voice and said, "Kujo Mise, don't cast it so quickly; charge it for longer."

Kujo Mise was closing her eyes at this moment,

and without asking more,

she nodded to indicate she understood.

Li Yao pushed his perception to the absolute limit,

and narrowed the range of his perception

to perceive the things around him more clearly.

In this state,

even a fly flapping its wings a hundred meters away

could not escape his perception range!

All around—nothing.

Underground—nothing.

The sky—nothing either.

Where exactly is it?

Even if their strength is similar to his,

it shouldn't be possible to evade perception in this state, right?

And there were Bee Reconnaissance Demon Insects in the sky.

Wait!

Bee Reconnaissance Demon Insects!

Li Yao's gaze locked onto one of the countless Bee Reconnaissance Demon Insects in the sky.

Unlike the other Bee Demon Insects,
