Chapter 548

When he saw the situation on the island,

Li Yao once thought

that the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle had sent him to the wrong place.

The previous Lost Continent,

except for the central forest, had been a wasteland at the edges.

But now, where was there any sign of a wasteland?

All around was a swampy area covered in water grass.

What was strange was

that this water grass was very dense,

and every blade of grass looked as if it had been produced on an assembly line.

Height, width, thickness—

to the naked eye, they were almost identical!

This water grass growing in the swamp looked like a light green platform from afar,

neat and smooth.

It was silent; there wasn't even the sound of small insects rubbing against the grass leaves.

This kind of quiet environment

was very familiar to Li Yao.

Back in the Lost Forest, when he encountered that insect-human named Blood Wood, it was a scene just like this.

Li Yao walked slowly through the swamp,

making a slight 'swish' sound.

He concentrated to the extreme, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

In a swamp with such dense water grass, he couldn't hear any sound.

Such a situation was definitely 'man-made'.

Before finding the other party,

it was a situation of him being in the light and the enemy in the dark.

He couldn't afford the slightest carelessness!

He prepared to head to the center of the Lost Forest.

If he still couldn't sense Xiao Bai's aura at the center of the island,

then he would just turn back

and abandon this operation.

In the Silver Tree,

Shang Shang Yana and Ling Xin were no less relaxed than Li Yao.

Two heads were huddled in front of the screen.

"Besides no sound, there's also no wind!" Shang Shang Yana frowned slightly. "After Student Li Yao walked into the water grass swamp, the scene around him became completely frozen."

"As if he entered another space?"

Hearing Shang Shang Yana say this, Ling Xin also noticed this and transmitted: "Then tell him quickly!"

"This kind of abnormality must be a huge danger!"

"Tell him to come back immediately!"

Ever since she learned that there might be those two types of existences on this island,

Ling Xin's body had remained a deep red.

The more Abyss literature she read,

the more she knew the horror of those two existences!

Those powerful demons hunted living beings, but there were traces to follow;

even if they were excessively violent, at least they slaughtered out of personality.

But these things simply didn't reason!

Every time they appeared, it was a disaster for living beings.

The key was

that they were also extremely powerful!

Even the Titan race, which was already incomparably powerful in her eyes,

faced only one outcome when confronting them: extinction!

Just like

those corpses in the deep sea,

dying silently, dying in a way that made one's heart grow cold.

"No,"

Shang Shang Yana shook her head gently.

"I can notice this,

so Student Li Yao must also be able to notice it.

If there's no special situation, I don't want to disturb him."

"Moreover,

exploring this island and finding the Magic Insect Mother is a decision Student Li Yao made after careful consideration."

"None of us is smarter than the other."

"We can think of the danger, and Student Li Yao can also make judgments."

"We..."

The last sentence, Shang Shang Yana did not say out loud.

'What I need to do is help Student Li Yao, not stop him.'

'My help might be insignificant, but at least I must trust him.'

Shang Shang Yana said to herself in her heart,

staring at the screen, not daring to leave for even a moment.

A hundred meters, a thousand meters...

Li Yao entered the swamp and went three kilometers deep, encountering no attacks during that time.

But he also didn't sense Xiao Bai's aura.

Li Yao couldn't help but suspect

that all the insects had been killed and thrown outside the island.

If there really was a creature there,

then the other party's territorial awareness should be very strong, right?

That it hadn't come to clear him out yet

could only mean two possibilities.

The first is that the other party has already left.

As soon as Li Yao thought of this,

he immediately ruled out this conjecture.

If the other party had really left,

this strange windless zone wouldn't exist.

The second possibility:

those insects were obstacles in its eyes,

or

eyesore ants?

Before it finished doing something, it had to clear them out.

Now that they were all cleared out,

it was in the middle of finishing that thing,

with no time to worry about him, who had suddenly appeared on the island.

Li Yao gradually cleared his thoughts.

The Lost Continent—

if the insects weren't its target,

besides that Tree of Life containing vast life energy,

Li Yao couldn't think of anything else

that could be called a 'target'.

Then,

if Xiao Bai was still alive, it could only be on the Tree of Life.

All other insects were killed;

the Tree of Life, as the 'target',

in other words, was also a 'safe house'.

Xiao Bai had laid out his network across the entire Lost Continent,

so he must have discovered its existence immediately.

The wanton slaughter

had uniquely avoided the Tree of Life.

Just then,

Shang Shang Yana's voice rang out from the brooch:

"Student Li Yao, is there anything special on this island?"

"That creature hasn't attacked you yet, it's very likely..."

"Splash!"

Gainer-At descended into the swamp.

Li Yao flipped onto its back

and sped forward.

Li Yao did not answer Shang Shang Yana's question, but said:

"Next, I might have a head-on collision with that guy."

"If any abnormality occurs, at the cabin door, there is a teleportation vortex card I left; abandon the Silver Tree and leave here immediately!"

If Xiao Bai wanted to survive,

he could only be at the Tree of Life!

That guy was also there;

wanting to avoid battle was almost impossible now!

Hearing this,

the brooch went silent.

Shang Shang Yana and Ling Xin were in complete agreement:

if they really encountered an accident,

they would pilot the Silver Tree at the first opportunity.

Even if the chance of saving Li Yao was slim,

letting them give up without even trying

was absolutely impossible!
