Chapter 415

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Lasers swept everywhere,

and the scorching high temperature carved countless glass-colored gullies into the ground.

Li Yao found Kujo Mise's location in the air.

Gainerat dove down.

Kujo Mise, whose entire focus was on releasing buff skills,

felt the movement beside her and turned around abruptly.

Several Shikigami descended instantly.

"Your reaction is so slow?"

"Li Yao-kun," Kujo Mise let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"How is the battle situation? Where are the others?" Li Yao asked.

"Except for Mu Mu Xiaoxiao and Yao Yao Shanxue who are providing support in the air, the others have scattered, each leading a swarm, going straight into the heart of the swarm to see if there's a chance to break through."

"The battle situation," Kujo Mise frowned and said in a deep voice, "is not very good."

"Whether it's the Mountain Demon Insects, Dragon-Blood Demon Insects, or Sickle Demon Insects, the enemy has more high-tier insects than we do."

"We can barely hold our own, and that's only thanks to the low-tier swarms not being able to tell friend from foe."

"Hmm, I understand." Li Yao responded.

The Demon Insect race knew the Lost Continent better than he did.

From the beginning, they had been developing outside the forest.

Over the past half month,

they had devoured who knows how many S-rank swarms.

Plus, their broodmother had entered the Lost Continent as a participant in the National Border Trial.

It was possible that when they first entered,

they were already adults or in their mature stage.

The time it took to grow to their complete form was much earlier than Benefactor Xiao Bai's.

And the propagation speed of the Demon Insect broodmother before and after reaching its complete form was like two different species!

Li Yao estimated

that if they hadn't spent a large amount of troops to crusade against that giant spider,

the battle situation might have been even less optimistic than it was now!

To be able to resist to this extent—

Kujo Mise might not even know it herself,

but she and the other Dragon Country professionals had made a great contribution!

In large-scale wars like swarm slaughter,

there was a huge difference between having command and not having command!

The command of the Demon Insect race should have been the Mimicry Demon Insects.

Now that he had killed all the Mimicry Demon Insects,

the entire race was like scattered sand,

slaughtering based on instinct.

Their combat power might not even be seventy percent of what it would be with command.

Li Yao stayed next to Kujo Mise and observed the battle for a while.

After confirming they could hold on for a while longer,

he said to Kujo Mise beside him:

"I'll leave this to you."

"Don't think about breaking through. I will go to the far northern region."

"Just try to drag out the time."

"Okay."

Kujo Mise nodded, thought for a moment, and said:

"I don't know what's in the far northern region,"

"but please, Li Yao-kun, stay safe."

"Hmm, they can't kill me."

Li Yao responded, jumped onto Gainerat, and flew into the firmament.

"Boom!"

Almost instantly,

a laser fired by a 【Mortar Sickle Demon Insect】 grazed past Li Yao.

Li Yao's expression was solemn.

He knew the power of a mortar very well.

Gainerat might be able to withstand one or two shots,

but with 【Mortar Sickle Demon Insects】 all over the mountains and plains,

Gainerat absolutely couldn't manage to cross the swarm that stretched for dozens of kilometers.

Li Yao looked at the sky, where the scarlet glow was becoming more bewitching!

That aura had become so powerful it couldn't be ignored!

Feeling a sense of urgency,

Li Yao had Gainerat return to the ground.

Kujo Mise noticed the situation Li Yao was facing

and stepped forward: "Li Yao-kun, do you need me to lead the swarm to cover you?"

"No need."

Crossing a swarm that stretched for dozens of kilometers was no simple matter!

Pondering slightly,

Li Yao made up his mind:

"If I can't go by air, then I'll go underground!"

"Shackles, link to the Tiger Beetle!"

He put Gainerat back into the chess piece space,

looked at Kujo Mise, and gave a reminder:

"Watch out for Hunting Xi Xia."

After saying that, Li Yao dove underground.

"Hunting Xi Xia?" Kujo Mise murmured.

Since it was a reminder from Li Yao-kun, she would definitely take it to heart.

However,

Li Yao-kun only told her to watch out for Hunting Xi Xia

and didn't tell her to directly expose Hunting Xi Xia's identity as a mole.

It must be because

if it exposed its true form, it would definitely be an extremely powerful existence!

With their current combat power, they might not be able to resist it at all!

Thinking of this,

Kujo Mise didn't warn the others via the Sound Snail,

but instead threw herself back into the war.

Deep underground,

Li Yao broke through layers of soil, speeding at high velocity.

The viscous soil was mixed with the venom of 【Sub-Liquid Demon Insects】.

He knew very well.

This time, advancing underground would not be as easy as the last.

The Demon Capital 【Broodmother Battlefield】 has a total of fourteen Broodmothers.

The front line stretches for thousands of kilometers!

They have countless Subsurface Demon Insects, but because the front is so long and spread out, the density is actually not that high.

But this time,

the Subsurface Demon Insects spawned by the Broodmother only need to defend the underground area of the Broodmother.

Their numbers will be more than one can imagine!

"Hiss hiss!"

A hissing sound rang out.

The soil loosened.

A terrifying set of mouthparts came into view.

Kill! Must kill every single one seen!

Otherwise, if they all gather together, they will be even harder to deal with!

Li Yao hooked his hand into the mouthparts.

He pulled its entire body out.

With one hand gripping the mouthparts and the other the tail end,

he tore it directly apart.

Kha'Zix is currently still in its original position, hiding its form beside Kujo Mirei.

Under the 【World is Close】 state,

having 200, 00 strength points makes doing this simply too easy!

Warm blood splattered onto Li Yao's face.

【- (Critical Strike)】

【Leap-level kill of a Lord-tier creature, Subsurface Demon Insect, EXP +0. % (EXP stored, can be claimed after completing the Fourth Transition)】

"The EXP is not bad."

Li Yao muttered and continued moving forward.

As he got closer to the Broodmother's location,

the number of Subsurface Demon Insects increased more and more.

Li Yao was practically killing his way through!

His speed was suppressed to be very slow.

Moreover,

while deep underground,

the entire area was soaked in the venom of the Subsurface Demon Insects.

It was impossible for him to summon chess pieces.

Time passed bit by bit.

Li Yao's body was covered in a mixture of venom and blood.

Of course,

this blood all came from the Subsurface Demon Insects!

He had already lost count of how many demon insects he had killed.

Li Yao glanced at the remaining time on 【Shackles】.

"Seven minutes left."

"In terms of speed, I should be almost there."

Just at this moment,

a chill rushed from his spine directly into his mind.

Li Yao dodged to the side.

The next second,

"Boom!"

A massive tree trunk fell from above, slamming directly into the ground where Li Yao had been.

Even while deep underground,

Li Yao could still hear a strange laughter.

"Ho ho ho!"

"This human is simply not on the same level as the ones encountered before!"
