Chapter 624

"The competitive dungeon turned into a rival dungeon?"

"In other words, professionals can attack each other!"

"Not only that," Li Yao said lightly.

He could perceive

that this space was emitting a wisp of something unusual.

The entire 【Jianyan Earth Cave】

was likely set up with a Space-Locking Stone array.

The locking intensity was far from what the one set up by the Asura Kingdom could compare to.

This Space-Locking Stone array was enough to restrict him from summoning Chess Pieces!

"Li Yao-kun, try to see if you can summon," Kujou Mise said, her brows furrowed.

"I can't," Li Yao said, his expression unchanged.

He had a habit:

Kha'Zix was always in a summoned state at every moment.

After obtaining the Void Tiger Armor,

this habit included another Chess Piece.

But others didn't know.

Several healing-type girls showed worry one after another.

The lead person even said directly:

"Captain Li Yao, should we retreat first?"

"We are all support professions; our combat power isn't strong."

"Without summoned beasts, we might not be their match!"

Wei Hai, however, was dismissive.

Big Boss Li Yao had the 【Shackles】 skill;

what did it matter if there were no summoned beasts?

"Captain Shao Lingli, don't worry, with Li Yao here, there will absolutely be no problem!"

"The Eagle Nation and our starting points are different," Li Yao said. "Let's go to the Earth's core first."

"But—" Shao Lingli still wanted to say something,

but was impatiently interrupted by Kujou Mise.

"Stop with the 'buts'."

"There is a Space-Locking Stone array here."

"We have no retreat!"

"If you have time to talk nonsense, you might as well go down early!"

Toward anyone other than Li Yao, Kujou Mise had no patience.

Coming into this dungeon,

to put it bluntly,

both sides wanted to completely eliminate the other.

The later they went over, the easier it would be for the other side to set traps.

Shao Lingli didn't say much more,

her gaze flickering as she returned to the team.

Because he had been here once, Li Yao knew the route

and led the team toward the Earth's core.

Magma splashed,

and everyone showed their unique skills.

Professionals who could get Xue Jiulan's approval and come here

were not weaklings!

Even those healing-type girls

included two vice-captain-level figures!

Their professional quality was very high, so there was no need to worry.

Li Yao was happy to see this

and focused on thinking about his own affairs.

Perhaps because he had learned 【Space Tombstone】,

Li Yao was now extremely sensitive to spatial perception.

The locking value around them was roughly 90%,

while the spatial value that erupted the moment a Chess Piece was summoned was around 85%.

With the locking value exceeding the spatial value,

it was indeed impossible to summon.

He just didn't know if, after becoming a third-advancement professional,

the spatial value erupted when summoning a Chess Piece would increase.

While pondering,

they soon arrived at the underground cave.

It was the same scene:

a platform in the middle, surrounded by a magma lake.

And at the entrance on the other side,

six people were rushing toward this side.

Kujou Mise also sensed it and said in a low voice: "My skills can only act on summoned beasts."

"Li Yao-kun, you summoned that invisible insect-type summoned beast in advance, right?"

Based on her understanding of Li Yao,

that summoned beast was one hundred percent hidden nearby!

She couldn't wait

to show Li Yao her amplification ability.

"Yes," Li Yao didn't deny it, pointing behind him.

"No need to cast other skills."

"Just cast that death-immunity buff there."

Since they were invited by the teacher,

Li Yao thought that since they were there, he might as well use them,

as it could at least provide Kha'Zix with a layer of insurance.

And the arrogant Kujou Mise naturally wouldn't listen to Li Yao.

Except for her ultimate, she dumped all her amplification skills onto Kha'Zix.

Li Yao received a system prompt:

【Chess Piece Kha'Zix, receives the Star Speaker's blessing, do you accept?】

"Accept."

【Star-Balance Blessing: Increases summoned creature's Endurance attribute by 14%, duration 24 minutes.】

【Huntress Star Blessing: Increases summoned creature's Spirit attribute by 21%, duration 24 minutes.】

【Wild Star Blessing: Increases summoned creature's Strength attribute by 33%, duration 24 minutes.】

【Star Speaker's Whisper: When the summoned creature receives fatal damage, it gains 12 seconds of invincibility; if the state is not triggered, duration 24 minutes.】

Li Yao was somewhat surprised.

Back at the Ingestion Cave,

Kujou Mise had added a buff to him once.

The skill names hadn't changed,

but the skill effects had undergone earth-shaking changes!
