Chapter 587: The suddenly appearing Human-Insect! The primary goal of heading to the Abyss!

[Congratulations to the professional team 'None' for clearing the Ruins of the Gods dungeon (Primordial)!]

[Clear time: Natural day]

[Captain: Yang Donglai (Qitian)]

[Team members: Li Yao (Chess Player), Kujo Mise (Star Language Witch), Mishaluo (Ming Shan Venerable), Mu Mu Xiaoxiao (Ghost Light Han Xuan Mu)]

[Reward obtained: First-clear gift pack (Ruins of the Gods Purgatory Grade)]

Putting away the loot chest,

the group entered the teleportation vortex

and appeared in the outside world.

Yang Donglai had a strong ability to adapt.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air, he looked around like a curious baby,

pointing at a tree and saying:

"I specifically noticed this tree back then; when I went in, it was still a small sapling less than a meter tall!"

"And here, there was no river at all originally!"

"Here, here..."

Li Yao didn't disturb him, but looked at the others

and asked:

"How many levels did you level up?"

Golden light flashed on everyone.

Even he had gained so much experience;

even if they could only share a very small part,

leveling up a few levels shouldn't be a problem.

After all, it was a True Name monster over level 100.

"Two levels and 40% more experience," Kujo Mise’s eyes still held some lingering fear.

It was the first time she felt that leveling up was so simple.

Mishaluo and Mu Mu Xiaoxiao were lower level than Kujo Mise,

gaining three levels of experience.

"Here, this is the first-clear chest," Mu Mu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to hand the chest she obtained to Li Yao.

"Hurry up and open it; let’s see what good things are inside."

"Open it yourself," Li Yao shook his head, "This thing has no attraction to me."

Li Yao didn't give them time to refuse.

After saying this, he walked over to Li Yao.

"Senior, we still need to clear the other God Ruins next."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, but for more detailed information, you'll likely need to consult Lin Lao."

"Lin Lao? General Lin?" Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The others aren't urgent; there's only one thing I really want to know."

"What is the current situation with the Titan race and the Demon Insect race?"

Li Yao was about to answer.

*Clang.*

The sound of golden light flickering rang out.

Both of them turned their heads at the same time.

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer and had opened her first-clear treasure chest.

Judging by her expression, the haul must have been quite good.

Li Yao thought for a moment, then tossed his own treasure chest to them.

"I'm basically retired now, and this thing would probably just be handed over to the state anyway. You take it."

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao almost didn't react in time, but she managed to catch it in a flurry.

She glanced at Li Yao, and only after seeing him nod did she feel at ease accepting it.

Returning to the main topic, Li Yao began.

"The Titan race is no longer a threat, at least not on Blue Star; you won't find a trace of them."

"As for the Demon Insect race..." Li Yao's expression darkened.

"They are somewhat troublesome."

"Even you find them troublesome?" Li Yao asked with curiosity.

"Yes. The Demon Insect race has produced 'Human-Insects' that have never been seen before, and there is currently no way to deal with them."

The mimic Demon Insect born from Xiao Bai devouring the new king.

It hadn't considered subsequent development.

The new king was born in its strongest state.

Its strength was even a cut above what it had been in life.

The Human-Insects that had never appeared in the teacher's accounts.

"So, it's related to what the Demi-God race mentioned earlier about the Demon race." Li Yao's mind was active, and he quickly guessed the connection.

"Exactly, but Senior doesn't need to worry."

"Their strength is too great, so they are restricted by Blue Star's Heavenly Dao and cannot set foot on Blue Star."

"It's just that we are unable to completely eradicate them."

At this moment, at the [Insect Mother Battlefield] in the Magic City.

Only a few high-level military professionals were responsible for maintaining the array.

They were protecting Xiao Bai as it continued to propagate soldiers to fight against the Demon Insect race's soldiers.

But there was one very troublesome point.

As a Demon Insect, Xiao Bai...

...could not devour the opposing Demon Insects to continue its propagation.

Right now, it was relying entirely on energy collected from the [Lost Continent] and the corpses of the Titan race to propagate.

Such numbers...

...were clearly not enough to deal with the massive Demon Insect legion.

To completely crush the Demon Insects...

...at least two problems had to be faced.

Those suddenly appearing 'Human-Insects,' and cutting off the Demon Insect race's true food source!

Back during the national border trial...

...he had realized...

...that the Demon Insect race could not possibly rely on human corpses for 'unlimited' propagation.

In their lair in the Abyss...

...they must be farming a population even larger than the human race!

Judging by the levels of those Demon Insects at the [Insect Mother Battlefield]...

...the overall strength of this population shouldn't be high.

But the numbers were immense!

Heading to the Abyss next...

...his main goal, aside from exploration, was to find this population!

As for those 'Human-Insects' that appeared suddenly...

...he could only wound the new king, not kill it.

Soon.

Very soon, he would be able to defeat these bugs head-on!

"Alright, I understand." Li Yao nodded with some helplessness.

It seemed there was no way to fully retire after all.

"Then, Senior, we shall take our leave."

"ROAR!"

A loud dragon roar startled countless birds in the forest.

The group boarded Gaienyate.

They disappeared into the horizon under Li Yao's shocked gaze.

It took a long time for him to come back to his senses.

"Good heavens, today's professionals are truly incredible!"

"They can even summon dragons!"

Li Yao decided.

The next target was the Sakura Country.

It wasn't far; with Gaienyate, they could arrive in at most an hour.

On the way

Li Yao glanced at Miss Jiutiao Meise.

He would put a complete end to her affairs.

Just then...

The system notification sound suddenly rang out.

[Professional Venerable Ming Shan (SS) has applied to join the guild. Do you accept?]
