Chapter 596
Li Yao could still see
quite a few new professionals stopping to take photos next to the statue.
Under the sunlight, it shone like an ice sculpture.
Every feather was clean and shiny; it was clear it had been repaired just a few days ago.
With its wings spread, it looked as if it were about to soar into the clouds.
Li Yao felt that this statue should also have several arrays inscribed on it.
Getting slightly closer, there was a coolness from the heart—not coldness, but a refreshing coolness.
Just then,
two professionals passed by his side.
"Dad, what kind of monster is this statue? I remember not seeing it the day before yesterday, right?"
"Monster?" The middle-aged professional chuckled and looked at the statue with respect, "This isn't any monster."
"This is the guardian deity that brings us good fortune in Linbei City!"
"One of the Chief General’s summoned beasts!"
"Otherwise, why do you think our Linbei City was the first of the twelve main cities to complete the battlefield clearing?"
Listening to their conversation, Li Yao was speechless for a moment.
He suddenly felt
that summoning the giant dragon in a place with so many people
seemed a bit inappropriate.
He found a random corner with no one around,
activated the array disk, and disappeared without a trace with a 'swish'.
He entered the passage secret realm before summoning Gain-Art and speeding toward the teleportation array representing the Demon Capital.
That guy, the Blue Bird,
has such a big reputation?
And even has a dedicated statue?
When he returned to Blue Star from the Abyss, he passed through Linbei City.
At that time, there weren't many professionals in Linbei City, and they were completely suppressed by the Titan race.
There were also several extremely strong auras clashing in the high sky.
High-level professionals couldn't spare any hands at all.
So he left the Blue Bird with his teacher.
The Blue Bird’s ability is area damage,
and the damage is extremely slow.
Against high-intensity enemies like the Brain-Eating Bees, it could be said that it had no effect at all.
But left on the battlefield, it could definitely be called the most suitable chess piece.
After releasing the skill, professionals also had time to retreat back into the arrays.
"It must have helped a little when clearing the Linbei battlefield."
"But this is too exaggerated," Li Yao muttered, sweating.
If it weren't for those two professionals just now,
he wouldn't have been able to tell that the statue was actually the Blue Bird!
The Blue Bird is actually just a slightly larger blue bird.
How could it be this big, and covered in ice crystal fragments!
However,
Li Yao thought about it carefully and could understand.
There were so many monsters on the battlefield.
For the Blue Bird to release its skills,
it must have been in the high sky, and his teacher even had to guard it from the side.
Ordinary professionals couldn't see the Blue Bird’s appearance at all!
So there is a high probability
that this statue was actually built according to his teacher’s aesthetic.
"Hmm, very reasonable."
The passage secret realm was not far away.
Gain-Art flew into the teleportation array.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in the outside world.
Same as the secret realm leading to the Capital,
outside the array was the Demon Capital’s largest academy—the Demon Capital Martial Academy.
And this was the place specifically set up for teleportation arrays.
Next to it was the entrance to the [Insect Mother Battlefield].
Li Yao went up and did some simple registration,
and under the shocked eyes of several Demon Martial students, entered the teleportation array representing the No. 2 Insect Mother Battlefield.
As soon as he came in,
Li Yao sensed an aura so vast it was almost terrifying.
The opponent was trying its best to suppress it,
but because it was too powerful, it was out of place in this world.
Ordinary professionals might find it hard to discover,
but as soon as Li Yao came in, he could clearly pick out this aura.
"Mimic Magic Insect, New King."
"Stronger than when it was in New York by a notch."
"Did I underestimate those 'human insects' that suddenly appeared, as my teacher said?"
"To be able to drive a New King in this state out of the Abyss, or even injure it,"
"those guys are even more troublesome than imagined!"
If it weren't for the Blue Star restriction upgrade, it would have taken at least a bitter battle to resolve it.
Li Yao walked out of the hexagram array
and stepped onto the steel ground of the military base.
The Insect Mother Battlefield is the longest-lasting battlefield in the world,
and also the largest Outer Domain battlefield.
There are a total of twelve military bases, guarding twelve areas that have Insect Mothers.
The total area exceeds two-thirds of the Dragon Country!
In the past, 80% of the Dragon Country’s military professionals needed to be stationed here.
Now with Benefactor Xiao Bai, this strong foreign aid,
the soldiers had free time.
Inside the military base, only a small number of soldiers and high-level professionals responsible for maintaining the arrays remained.
The Array Master recommended by Senior Hua was right here.
Soon,
a soldier ran to Li Yao and respectfully gave a military salute.
"Chief General, Lin Lao asked me to take you to the General Command Room."
"Hmm, please lead the way."
A few minutes later,
"Hiss."
Steam sprayed out, and the iron door in front slowly opened.
"Li Yao, you're here." Lin Lao looked at a computer screen and shouted without raising his head.
Li Yao walked in, his gaze looking toward the innermost part of the command room, at a bed connected to countless instrument pipes.
And the humanoid creature lying on the bed with its eyes closed was the source of that terrifying aura.
It had a similar outline to the New King,
a humanoid creature about two meters tall, full of explosive muscles.
It was just that after evolving into a Mimic Magic Insect,
it was covered in a layer of pitch-black shell.
Li Yao’s aura was very strong,
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
but the New King didn't open its eyes to look at this powerhouse.
In its genes,
the status of this powerhouse was even higher than that of the Insect Mother.
It only needed to unconditionally execute the other party’s orders; it didn't need to care about anything else.
"The New King’s injuries haven't healed yet?" Li Yao asked.
"That’s not it." Lin Lao finished reading the content on the screen and stood up, his face somewhat grave, "The New King recovered as early as last night. Those instruments are to help it maintain its best state at all times, and by the way, replenish some energy."
Li Yao walked to Lin Lao’s side and looked at the computer screen he was just watching.
"Poison mist?"
The content on the screen was a detailed analysis of a type of poison mist.
"Yes, you should have noticed when you came in."
"Now, in the entire Insect Mother Battlefield, outside the arrays, there are no living creatures!"
Lin Lao reached out and swiped through several instruments, and the central big screen in front of him suddenly displayed an image.
"This morning,"
"all the magic insects on the battlefield retreated back to the Abyss."
"Ten minutes later, a type of dark green thick mist drifted out of the Insect Mother’s nest."
"Look, some magic insects that didn't have time to retreat turned into this when they touched the poison mist."
On the screen,
a Dragon-Blood Magic Insect with a pitch-black exoskeleton was like it was soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid; its body emitted green smoke, and its hard body completely turned into thick liquid, dripping toward the ground.
In just a few seconds,
a level 60 Lord monster completely lost its life force.
"Morning?" Li Yao asked, "How long exactly?"
"Retreated at 10:12, the thick mist appeared at 10:22."
Before Lin Lao finished speaking,
Li Yao suddenly paused, "What was that just now?"
On a computer being operated by a staff member in front,
a virtual structural diagram of a creature appeared.
Lin Lao followed Li Yao’s gaze, "Huang Lao, go back to the previous page."
At the same time, he explained to Li Yao, "Huang Lao is a monster professor, and he is now mainly responsible for researching the batch of 'human insects' that just appeared."
"Oh right, they are Mimic Magic Insects; I've been calling them that for decades, so I'm a bit used to it."
Following Huang Lao’s operation,
the computer screen returned to the image Li Yao had just seen.
A pitch-black standing bird-beast.
Clearly looking like a crow,
yet it had three pairs of pitch-black, sharp limbs.
