Chapter 599: Terrifying poisonous mist! Entering the abyss! A blood-colored earth!

Just like a stone thrown into calm water.

Ripples spread across the transparent barrier raised by the defensive array.

Passing through the barrier, they appeared in the outside world.

Li Yao’s brows furrowed immediately.

Stinky!

So stinky!

The smell of insect fishiness and putrefaction mixed together.

The ground was slimy.

The soil had been soaked in blood for a long time, becoming like a swamp.

Every step he took, he would sink a few centimeters.

On the daily Insect Mother Battlefield,

as long as you were outside the array, you could hardly see the ground.

The number of magic insects was simply too exaggerated, so many that they could cover the entire ground.

Now that the magic insects had retreated,

the ground finally revealed its true face.

It was just a slimy black swamp.

No vegetation, no mountains, just bare and endless.

Just as Lin Lao said,

all the magic insects had retreated to the Abyss.

Li Yao didn't see any living creatures.

He did, however, sense Benefactor Xiao Bai’s aura,

right under the military base, also within the protection range of the array.

As for this poison mist,

Li Yao looked up at the eerie sky dyed dark green.

Visibility outside the poison mist was very low,

but once truly inside, the range he could see was still very far.

Li Yao walked forward a few steps.

Beside him, the void-hidden Kha'Zix followed behind Li Yao.

Ten seconds.

Kha'Zix’s body began to tremble slightly; he should be feeling the excruciating pain brought by the corrosion.

Fifteen seconds, his HP began to drop.

One minute, his HP was nearing the bottom.

"Zheng!"

A bell rang.

The slimy ground was covered by the chessboard.

Li Yao’s expression remained unchanged. After confirming that the poison mist couldn't affect [Chess Player], his speed suddenly reached its limit, and he sprinted through the poison mist.

"Kha'Zix’s Stamina attribute is about the same as an ordinary Seventh Turn professional."

"He could only withstand ninety seconds."

The chessboard consumes 1% of mana every six seconds,

which is six hundred seconds, ten minutes.

While sprinting, Li Yao pondered.

He couldn't use all his mana on the journey.

A bitter battle might be waiting for him at the source of the poison mist.

"At least reserve half of the mana."

Reviving to full state in the domain,

that is to say,

every time he revives, Kha'Zix has ninety seconds.

Just in case,

the domain can be closed for eighty-five seconds.

The domain has no cooldown; turning it on and off repeatedly increases consumption, but it is much easier than keeping it on continuously.

And every revival requires waiting 15 seconds.

During these fifteen seconds, the domain cannot be closed.

So to move forward in the poison mist, every one hundred seconds, he needs to open the domain for fifteen seconds, consuming less than 3% of his mana.

The distance from the No. 2 Insect Mother to the base is only one hundred kilometers,

which is completely enough!

Inside the base,

watching Li Yao walk in the poison mist,

a group of researchers had their hearts in their throats, their eyes wishing they could grow into the screen.

Until Li Yao accelerated and disappeared completely into the poison mist,

they collapsed into their chairs as if they had been deflated.

All the imaging equipment outside was corroded by the poison mist and couldn't work.

Inside the base, they could only see a very small area.

"Reckless, too reckless!"

"I really don't understand you guys; why did you let the Chief General go in? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

At this time,

Lin Lao was no longer worried about the poison mist.

If he hadn't gone in, you could say that kid Li Yao was reckless,

but he had already been in for several minutes,

so he was probably even clearer about the strength of the poison mist than these researchers.

Since he hadn't retreated yet,

it proved that the kid really had the confidence!

What he was worried about now was

the Magic Insect race at the source of the poison mist.

Ordinary magic insects couldn't threaten Li Yao,

but what about those Mimic Magic Insects that looked like crows?

On the other side,

a few minutes passed.

An endless, bottomless abyss appeared before Li Yao.

Standing on the edge of the cliff,

the stench that the [God-Slaying Professional] had just adapted to seemed to lose its effect.

A stench so thick it was almost substantial rushed into his nasal cavity.

Li Yao was so fumigated that he felt he could barely open his eyes.

"No. 2 Insect Mother’s nest. Below is the second-ranked Insect Mother. For countless years, trillions of magic insects have been bred here."

"I never want to smell this kind of odor a second time in my life!"

It didn't cause much damage; it was just extreme torture!

Before jumping down,

Li Yao sensed the energy in his body.

During this time, he used the [Spirit-Devouring Windbreaker] mana recovery effect once, and he still had about 70% left, which was completely enough.

He hadn't thought about summoning Kai'Sa to carry him and run,

but Kai'Sa’s Stamina attribute was even lower than Kha'Zix’s,

making her easier to be corroded by the poison mist.

If her body was corroded, her speed would slow down.

The key was

Kai'Sa didn't have a long-term concealment skill.

It was hard to guarantee whether that demon named 'Secret' was peeping here using some special means while in this poison mist.

So if he used Kai'Sa to travel, he could only keep the domain open,

and the mana consumed might exceed the limit!

While thinking, Li Yao jumped down into this bottomless abyss.

A gale struck,

passing through layers of thick mist.

After falling for dozens of seconds, Li Yao finally saw the bottom!

"Boom!"

Li Yao landed on the ground.

Behind him was the nest where the Insect Mother resided,

but at this moment, the nest was empty.

He couldn't sense a single trace of life.

Mana was being consumed every second, so Li Yao couldn't afford to hesitate.

He rushed directly into the giant cave.

The interior was dim and boundless, without a single source of light.

Li Yao released his aura, relying on the time it took for the aura to bounce back from the walls to distinguish the route.

Fortunately, there were no forks inside; a wide passage led directly to the deepest part.

A light source appeared.

Li Yao’s speed exploded.

After passing through the passage, it was an area so wide it couldn't be seen to the end.

"This is..."

Appearing in this area, he should have seen a huge Insect Mother and countless magic insect soldiers,

but now there were only mottled space fragments floating in mid-air,

like mirror shards.

But the reflections on these 'mirror shards' were projections of another world.

A blood-colored land.

Soil, trees, sky, mountains—everything he could see was blood-red.

"Is this where the Magic Insect race lives?"
