Chapter 408

It is staring at them!

If it were the bee-monsters bred by Benefactor Xiao Bai,

it would be impossible for them to scout their own whereabouts.

The Demon Insect race also has bee-monsters!

Just at this moment,

ripples stirred in the air.

Space was torn open by some kind of force.

Five human figures

walked out of the space crack and stood in the air.

A terrifying aura erupted.

Like deep-red devils descending between heaven and earth.

Except for Li Yao,

in the face of this pure evil aura,

not a single professional could remain standing!

"What?"

"What is up with this outrageous aura?"

They couldn't manage to look up,

so naturally, they couldn't see those figures in the air.

"Human-insects," Li Yao said softly, a smile curling the corners of his mouth.

"Finally,"

"you've decided to show yourselves!"

"Finally decided to show yourselves!"

As the words fell,

a deep blue aura surged into the sky!

It directly dispersed the blood-red demon formed by the five Mimic Demon Insects.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo."

Everyone gasped for air,

struggling to lift their heads

to see the five figures.

"Humans?"

"No, they're Demon Insects!"

"The legendary Human-Insects—contestants from the Demon Insect race!"

Just at this moment,

the five figures scattered in five directions.

A scarlet halo washed over the ground.

At the same time,

the system panel refreshed with a notification:

【Affected by the formation skill 'Wrath of the Little People'; attribute check in progress.】

【Spirit attribute is lower than the caster; 'Wrath of the Little People' ability takes effect!】

【Within the formation, Strength/Stamina/Agility attributes decreased by 25%; spatial-type skills cannot be used.】

Li Yao took a look and didn't care.

Spatial-type skills cannot be used—

it seems they came prepared!

On the contrary, Kujo Mise and the others all turned back, looking at Li Yao in shock.

Under this scarlet formation,

they all received system notifications.

Li Yao is a Summoner;

summoned creatures are spatial skills!

The key is

that all the Demon Insects have been sent to the Northern Area now.

Without summoned beasts, Li Yao has no insect swarm protection.

"Li Yao-kun, that hidden summoned beast!"

"Tell me its location, I will buff it, and then you use Shackles."

Kujo Mise shouted urgently, but was interrupted by Li Yao shaking his head.

"No need. You all head to the Northern Area now."

"Lead the insect swarm to block the Demon Insect race!"

"It won't take me much time to deal with these guys; I will catch up with you soon."

"But—"

Suddenly,

a Human-Insect appeared in front of Kujo Mise.

Its appearance was no different from a human's,

but its skin was dark,

and it had a pair of transparent wings on its back.

Everyone was shocked;

its speed was so fast that there was no reaction time at all.

Hunt Hunting Xixia felt the scene before her was extremely familiar.

Back in the India Kingdom,

it was the same when facing that Fifth-Rank professional!

Invincibility skills, displacement skills—

under such a terrifying strength gap, they had no effect!

Its arms evolved into sharp claws in an instant.

Just as the claws were about to land on Kujo Mise's neck,

Kha'Zix suddenly appeared.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Kha'Zix didn't budge,

but this Human-Insect retreated several steps due to the recoil force,

a strange expression appearing on its face, as if it were wondering why this creature's strength was so terrifying.

"I said, leave now."

"You staying here is useless!" Li Yao said indifferently.

These five Human-Insects were not weak;

they were all True-Name-level monsters,

roughly at a level between the Second Seat and the Titan Emperor—

slightly stronger than the Second Seat,

but weaker than the Titan Emperor.

"Alright."

Having been saved by Kha'Zix,

Kujo Mise also realized the gap between them and the Human-Insects.

After several blessings were added to Kha'Zix,

she turned and left.

"Tiger Beetle, follow them."

Li Yao ordered secretly.

Before they caught up with the main Demon Insect force,

if the undercover agent was from the Demigod race or the Demon Insect race,

and suddenly attacked, they would likely be in danger.

Tiger Beetle serves as a safeguard.

And the Human-Insects clearly didn't want to let them go.

Except for the transparent-winged monster, which was now being watched by Kha'Zix and didn't dare to move,

the four Human-Insects dove toward Kujo Mise and the others at an incredible speed!

Li Yao chuckled.

Wrath of the Little People—

this formation skill is very strong,

but its drawback is also significant:

it cannot restrict people inside the formation from leaving it.

He could completely throw a Void Sea Insect outside the formation,

use 【Flash Mark】 to swap positions with the Sea Insect,

instantly escape the formation range,

and then summon all his chess pieces.

Of course,

this is the most complicated method.

Li Yao raised one hand.

"Ding!"

A crisp bell chime rang out.

With Li Yao as the center,

the ground gradually evolved into countless square grids with sides of one meter.

A mysteriously appearing dark cloud shrouded all the Human-Insects within it.

Domain Skill: 【Chessboard】.

The chessboard is a unique space; within the chessboard, one is unaffected by any abilities!

Almost instantly,

all the chess pieces appeared with a roar.

The massive aura

caused the Human-Insects in mid-dash to come to a direct halt.

Their instincts were telling them

that if they dared to continue turning their backs on the masters of those auras,

the masters of those auras could absolutely annihilate them in an instant!

"Ho-how is this possible?"

"Why can you summon creatures inside the formation?"

The Human-Insects were more like humans than the Titan monsters,

but their speech was even more awkward.

Li Yao didn't answer the Human-Insect's question,

but stood quietly in place.

Tiger Beetle followed Kujo Mise and the others as they left.

The 【World is Close】 effect was applied to Tiger Beetle.

Without the blessing of World is Close,

among the chess pieces, only Kaisa and Kha'Zix could face a Human-Insect alone.

Therefore,

"Bench, upgrade for me!"

This chapter is not over; please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

For the first star upgrade, each chess piece consumes 3 gold coins.

For the second star upgrade, each chess piece consumes 9 gold coins.

Two star upgrades to reach 3 stars—

that is also the current limit of the domain skill.

The consumption is not insignificant!

You must know

that bench star upgrades only take effect for the duration of the domain.

Li Yao upgraded all his chess pieces to 3 stars,

consuming 72 gold coins,

roughly equivalent to

the amount of gold coins obtained from killing a True-Name-level monster.

High consumption in exchange for high returns.

Just by upgrading to 2 stars,

Li Yao felt the chess pieces would be enough to deal with these five Human-Insects.

Upgrading extravagantly to 3 stars

was just his first time experiencing the domain skill,

and he wanted to see where the limit was.

All attributes were greatly increased.

Li Yao took a rough look:

the main attributes of each chess piece had more than tripled!

Skill damage coefficients were also greatly increased!

Like Kha'Zix's 【Taste Their Fear】,

in an isolated state, it was originally 1000% damage, but now it was directly 1800%.

With one claw down,

Li Yao doubted if the Human-Insects could withstand it!

"Then," Li Yao looked at the Human-Insects in front of him, who were too scared to move by the chess pieces' aura,

"let the group battle begin!"

"Roar!"

Gainerat let out a deafening dragon roar,

like a war horn.

The chess pieces attacked simultaneously!

A snowstorm descended,

dragon breath sprayed,

purple projectiles filled the sky—

countless skills covered the five Human-Insects!
