Chapter 428: Danger! Rescue!

Insect Swarm Battlefield.

The sounds of weapons slicing through flesh, insect chirping, and metal clashing were incessant.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng and the others maneuvered through the battlefield, barely daring to pause for even a moment!

Every time they cast a skill, they had to immediately vacate their current position.

Once entangled by a single Sub-Liquid Magic Insect, they would be surrounded by countless others.

And the one under the most pressure

was undoubtedly Mu Mu Xiaoxiao in the sky.

After simply bandaging her severed arm, she had thrown herself back into healing.

As the Dragon Kingdom's number one healing professional,

the healing volume required for a few professionals was not actually much pressure for her.

But the opponents were Sub-Liquid Magic Insects,

Level 80 lord-class magic monsters.

Every single attack dealt maximum damage!

The health bars of the several melee professionals were jumping up and down like they were at a rave.

Especially Mishaluo and Wei Hai;

both could be classified as Knight professionals,

whose agility attributes were far lower than those of Zhang Zhang Yucheng and Ji Nie Yuan,

and whose movements were not as nimble as the two of them.

The frequency at which they were attacked was extremely high.

Therefore,

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao needed to distribute over a dozen healing skills

reasonably among everyone.

Some skills provided high healing, others low;

some were continuous healing, others were burst healing.

This was where Mu Mu Xiaoxiao's pressure lay!

It was also a necessary ability for every top-tier healing professional.

In the current situation,

looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, and even the entire Blue Star,

under the age of twenty, only Mu Mu Xiaoxiao could achieve this level!

On the other side,

Yao Yao Shanxue's role was no less significant than Mu Mu Xiaoxiao's.

Riding a Dragon-Blood Magic Insect,

she relied on various slowing and freezing abilities

to kite hundreds of Dragon-Blood Magic Insects!

Although the damage she dealt was minimal,

if these flying insects were not restricted,

the professionals on the ground might not have lasted a minute!

As for Qin Qin Xuejun and Miss Jiutiao Meise,

the two fought in the same manner:

one summoned magic puppets, the other summoned shikigami.

They became the battlefield's "emergency responders," helping wherever there was danger.

Just like that,

the Dragon Kingdom's professionals displayed immense combat power and psychological fortitude at this moment.

From the appearance of the Sub-Liquid Magic Insects

to going from being in a sorry state to controlling the situation,

the process took less than a minute.

Of course,

facing enemies in this manner,

whether it was mana consumption or physical stamina,

it was a huge challenge for them!

"Everyone, hold on! Our Sub-Liquid Magic Insects are less than twenty kilometers away!"

In the air, Zhang Zhang Liyu, riding on the back of a Dragon-Blood Magic Insect,

possessed the ability to observe the entire battlefield as a Hunter professional.

With Hunting Hunting Xixia absent, he was the commander,

also taking on the task of comforting everyone and boosting morale.

"Hold on for another ten minutes—no, given the Sub-Liquid Magic Insects' underground travel speed, they can reach the battlefield in five minutes at most!"

Once these words were spoken,

everyone saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

They pushed their movement techniques to the limit!

Five minutes, rescue would arrive in five minutes!

Zhang Zhang Yucheng stood suspended in the air, slashing out sword energy to force back the Sub-Liquid Magic Insect in front of him:

"Ji Nie Yuan, come over and help me break through."

"Shang Shang Ziyu can't hold on much longer."

"Alright," Ji Nie Yuan replied.

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly:

"Monk, can't you dodge some attacks?"

"We're both Knight professionals; look at Wei Hai, he hasn't taken this many hits!"

Mishaluo complained bitterly: "There's nothing I can do about it! My frame is large; in a battlefield like this, it's hard to dodge attacks!"

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao showed no mercy; because of this monk, a third of her healing skills were wasted on him.

If it weren't for him, she would be much more relaxed, and the margin for error would be higher:

"Kite them! Do you understand what 'pulling' means?"

"I really am pulling them!"

Just then,

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted from the Mother Insect's location,

like a volcanic eruption.

An incredibly terrifying aura surged outward.

Everyone looked over.

Unbeknownst to them,

that Human-Insect had appeared beneath the Mother Insect's abdomen,

one hand embedded directly into the Mother Insect's body.

The aura was pouring out from that embedded position!

The Human-Insect was located below the Mother Insect,

facing this terrifying energy pouring out head-on,

as if a balloon had been punctured with a large hole, with the vent facing the Human-Insect!

However,

what was stored inside the Mother Insect was not hydrogen!

It was all the life energy of that giant spider.

The scarlet aura sprayed out, striking the Human-Insect directly.

In just an instant,

the Human-Insect's body began to char as if it were being burned.

"Hiss!"

The Human-Insect let out a shrill, mournful cry,

trying to pull its arm out from the meat ball.

But the meat ball seemed to have infinite suction;

with its feet braced against the meat ball, Hunting Hunting Xixia used all her strength, but could not pull her arm out!

Intense heat, burning, and bone-deep agony swept through her entire body.

Facing energy that was countless tiers above her own,

it was a testament to the Human-Insect's physical toughness that she hadn't perished immediately!

As the aura continued to leak from the large hole,

Hunting Hunting Xixia gradually lost the ability to resist.

Everyone saw this scene.

Miss Jiutiao Meise shouted: "Mu Mu Xiaoxiao, heal that Human-Insect! Quickly!"

At a time like this, how could Mu Mu Xiaoxiao not react?

Countless healing spells were cast upon the 'Human-Insect.'

White light flickered.

Hunting Hunting Xixia opened her eyes,

and as always, she desperately tried to pull her arm out.

"Damn it!"

Hunting Hunting Xixia couldn't help but curse under her breath.

Am I really this weak?

Only one person dies in the border trial, and that person is me!

I was clearly, clearly very strong!

Her consciousness faded into unconsciousness once again.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out.

Li Yao appeared beside Hunting Hunting Xixia and severed her arm.

Stinging pain struck, and Hunting Hunting Xixia jolted awake.

Seeing Li Yao holding her in his arms,

a look of relief appeared on her face before she fell asleep.

Li Yao looked at the meat ball before him, and without caring if Hunting Hunting Xixia could hear, he spoke indifferently:

"Sorry."

"If I insisted on dragging you out, I'm worried this energy aggregate might explode."

"In your current condition, you likely wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"Mm-hmm," Hunting Hunting Xixia murmured in her sleep, "I know."

The Human-Insect's outer shell slowly faded away,

revealing Hunting Hunting Xixia's petite, battered figure.
