Chapter 422

Just as Li Yao opened his domain,

beneath the Gobi desert in the distance,

the Dragon Kingdom professionals gathered together.

The surroundings were rumbling.

Millions of demon insect swarms

were rushing toward Li Yao's side one after another.

Everyone's expression was ugly.

Except for the insect swarms each person brought,

none of them had ordered the demon insect swarms to come over.

In other words, these were the true Demon Insect race!

Acting on the instructions of that undercover demigod,

they were heading to the main battlefield to crusade against Li Yao!

"Damn it!"

Ji Nie Yuan kicked a stone at his feet.

"We really can't help with anything!"

Just now, when he used 【Wind-Devouring Whirlwind Strike】 to bombard that demigod,

the moment his invincibility time disappeared,

the demigod didn't even attack him; just the recoil force from its high endurance attribute brought him to the brink of death!

His dark-gold grade wolf-tooth hammer was even more overwhelmed;

all the spikes on it were shattered.

Now it was like a metal baseball bat.

Since becoming a professional,

a sense of powerlessness he had never felt before appeared in Ji Nie Yuan's mind.

This thought wasn't just Ji Nie Yuan's;

all the professionals present, when facing that glimpse of the demigod race,

felt boundless exhaustion,

and even cowardice!

Just one move or one stance required them to exhaust all their efforts to resist!

"Four of you," Mu Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, "I originally thought that if we joined forces and added the insect swarms, we could at least help Li Yao block one demigod."

"It should be three demigods. Of those two identical ones, one can already be confirmed to exist as an undercover demon insect."

Zhang Zhang Liyu, as a hunter professional, possessed high-grade reconnaissance skills and explained to everyone.

"And that stone statue is extremely similar in energy to that giant tree demigod; it should be something like a summoned object."

"So what?" Ji Nie Yuan was extremely frustrated at this moment, his tone very unfriendly. "Even if they are summoned objects, we still can't help Li Yao block them, can we?"

"Three demigods, each one requires gathering all the insect swarms to have even a sliver of a chance to defeat!"

"Li Yao is dealing with three right now!"

"Three!"

"Ji Nie Yuan," Zhang Zhang Yucheng called out in a deep voice.

Ji Nie Yuan finally calmed down.

For proud and arrogant people,

nothing is more painful than 'their own strength not even being enough to participate in the battle'!

Ji Nie Yuan's anger,

to put it bluntly, was 'impotent rage'.

But the professionals present all understood this impotent rage.

To be selected as a participant in the national border trial from among tens of millions of young professionals in the Dragon Kingdom,

in their world,

which one of them wasn't the center of the world?

Which one wasn't high-spirited and proud?

If it were previous national border trials,

the participants were only the world's geniuses.

Even if they were at a disadvantage against captain-level figures,

that was an inequality in resources.

Even if they were weak, they wouldn't be *too* weak!

How could it be like this now,

where even participating in the battle

required relying on that one or two seconds of 'invincibility time'?

For a time, a nameless irritability shrouded everyone.

Of course,

with one exception.

Misaro patted his chest,

finally recovering from the heart-pounding moment just now.

He looked at everyone,

and immediately understood their thoughts.

"This monk believes that you all don't need to be so self-deprecating."

"At least just now, didn't we help Li Yao?"

"Actually, this monk has a suggestion that can make you never have this thought again; this monk has always done it this way."

Hearing this,

everyone looked over.

Misaro looked mysterious, hooking everyone's curiosity.

"It is,"

"do not take Li Yao as a reference object."

"Compare yourself with others more, and your mood will naturally become much more peaceful."

"Damn!"

"I thought it was something else!"

"You guy!" Mu Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at Misaro, wanting to scold him but feeling there was some truth to it, unable to speak for a moment.

Misaro ignored them and continued:

"Only Li Yao is an outlier."

"In this national border trial, the three major demon races don't know what method they used to participate."

"What are the three major demon races?"

"Those are the demon races entrenched in the abyss!"

"The area of our entire Blue Star is not even a drop in the ocean compared to the abyss!"

"The geniuses on their side are naturally far superior to the geniuses on our side."

"So," Misaro looked at everyone and smiled faintly, "this monk believes that not being able to defeat the demigod race is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Hmph, you talked for so long just to make excuses for your own cowardice, right!"

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao muttered unhappily.

"The most cautious professional in the Magic City, the outside world's evaluation of you is really spot on!"

"Cautious?" Misaro murmured, his eyes lighting up. "Not bad, this monk likes this word."

After Misaro's interruption, everyone cheered up.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng stood up and said:

"Misaro is right; with our strength, dealing with the demigod race is indeed too much of a stretch."

"Rather than causing trouble for Li Yao, it's better to stay further away; not causing trouble is helping!"

"It seems we can't help here anymore."

"Let's go, go back and command the insect swarms."

Everyone stood up.

The scale of Benefactor Xiao Bai's soldiers was inferior to the Demon Insect race.

Everyone commanding the battlefield could reduce a large number of casualties.

Just as everyone was about to leave, they found that Kujo Mise had been standing in place.

She hadn't spoken during the conversation just now either.

Qin Qin Xuejun asked suspiciously: "Kujo Mise?"

"Hmm?" Kujo Mise suddenly came back to her senses. "Wait a moment."

Everyone wasn't in a hurry for this moment and waited quietly for Kujo Mise.
