Chapter 631

For a humanoid like Tristana who had lived in the subterranean world her whole life,

promotion to the Upper City was like the hope of survival!

Every humanoid had been working toward this goal since birth.

But now, she was told that promotion to the Upper City

was actually a scene like this.

Kujo Mise looked at Tana; even she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity at this moment.

She reached out and touched her.

She and Tana couldn't communicate.

After Tana came back to her senses,

she could only reach out and style her hair into twin tails.

"Poppy."

"Poppy?!" Tana was suddenly surprised and looked around.

But Kai'Sa’s speed was too fast; she couldn't see the surroundings at all.

Tristana struggled, wanting to leave.

Kujo Mise pulled her back firmly.

"Li Yao."

She could only say these two words that Tana could understand.

Tristana quieted down immediately.

That’s right.

Li Yao was here.

Li Yao would definitely be able to save Poppy!

On the other side,

as the mirror-image Kai'Sa gradually approached, Li Yao could already clearly perceive the auras of Kujo Mise and Tana.

"Shackles, designate Kai'Sa!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness it was Tana who was with Kujo Mise."

"Swish." Li Yao’s figure disappeared instantly.

When the Black Dragon left yesterday,

Li Yao had sensed that something was wrong.

At that time, Poppy seemed to have guessed something,

so he had spoken to comfort her.

Just in case,

Li Yao had left a [Flash Mark] on her.

"Clang!"

The Infinity Edge swept out.

The wall in front collapsed with a roar.

Li Yao ignored the terrain, charging through this cavern area.

Five thousand meters.

The range of the [Flash Mark] was five thousand meters.

As long as he was within five thousand meters, he could appear beside Poppy instantly.

Just then,

a hoarse voice rang in his ear:

"Human,"

"it’s been a long time; you’re still as reckless as ever."

Facing the hoarse voice from the void,

Li Yao did not slow down.

With one sword strike after another, he slashed at the rock walls blocking his path.

He didn't think

that guy Swain would give up a chance to ambush him just to exchange pleasantries.

A thing that hides its head and shows its tail—

its main body was likely not here.

And,

this guy looked like the type who was good at using words to lead people astray.

There was no need to get entangled with it.

"What a truly boring human," Swain was not annoyed.

It wanted to see

how long this human’s arrogance could last

in the face of such a situation.

A vague surveillance appeared on him,

but Li Yao had no time to pay attention to it now.

"Clang!"

He slashed his long sword horizontally,

and the wall in front collapsed in response.

In front of him was another cave space filled with blood.

Countless magic insects crawled out from every entrance,

tearing and devouring the subterranean humanoids inside.

The screams were continuous.

The strength of these subterranean humanoids was actually not weak,

but under the blow of their dreams shattering, they had completely lost their fighting spirit.

Many humanoids who were lucky enough to be randomly teleported to the center

were even standing there in a daze,

forgetting to even take out their weapons, looking at their surroundings in terror.

Li Yao understood their feelings,

but that didn't stop him from thinking they were stupid.

At the very least, staying alive was the most important thing.

Relying on Kai'Sa’s Agility attribute,

Li Yao moved rapidly through the crowd and the magic insects.

The outer area had already been dyed into a bloody hell, with severed limbs and broken arms visible everywhere, and blood flowing like a river.

The bits of flesh that had been bitten off were scattered randomly on the ground.

Even with Li Yao’s temperament, he felt such a scene was somewhat gruesome.

"Hmm?"

Li Yao paused for a moment,

and after confirming he hadn't seen wrong, he continued forward.

The bits of flesh that the magic insects didn't have time to swallow

were gradually turning into specks of starlight,

gathering in the air and drifting toward the depths of the cave.

He remembered Tana once saying

that Yordle corpses didn't need to be buried.

He had originally thought it was for reasons like disease or plague.

But it turned out they were being collected by the Magic Insect Race in the form of energy?

But what kind of ability was this?

An array?

It was impossible for an array capable of covering the entire subterranean world to exist!

Even if such an array really existed,

it was definitely not something the magic insects could produce!

There was only one reason:

it was an ability inherent to this region itself.

"Clang!"

Li Yao walked to the end of the cave and slashed with his sword.

Rocks flew.

When the rock wall collapsed,

the same living hell met his eyes.

Scarlet was the main melody.

Any horror movie he had seen in his past life was small potatoes compared to this scene.

He spread his perception.

Nothing.

He still couldn't perceive Poppy’s aura.

Looking at the light spots in that orange space,

the number of subterranean humanoids teleported up did not exceed five thousand.

Calculating by a few hundred people per room,

there were no more than ten such cave spaces.

He would make it in time!

"Boom!"

Li Yao moved at full speed, exceeding the speed of sound.

While moving at high speed,

purple projectiles shot into the sky.

While slaughtering countless magic insects,

he blasted open the path ahead.

Just then,

a familiar aura broke into his consciousness space.

The next second,

golden light flashed.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

The Infinity Edge blocked a magic insect’s mouthparts.

Li Yao’s expression was stern, his voice hiding a trace of anger.

"Why aren't you fighting back?"

"With your strength, dealing with this magic insect should be easy, right?"

No voice answered.

Only countless screams and biting sounds surrounded his ears.

"I..."

The twin-tailed figure was squatting on the ground, her head buried deep in her knees.

The giant hammer she had been holding in her hand was discarded casually to the side.

Li Yao reached out and touched her.

"If you just die like this, what will happen to Tana?"

"Tana asked where Poppy was the very first thing."

"So, do you want me to tell Tana that the Poppy she was looking for has no will to live right now?"

"No, that’s not it!" Poppy raised her head abruptly, her right hand subconsciously wanting to grip her war hammer, but she grasped at empty air.

"Bene... Benefactor, where is Tana now?"

"Don't worry."

"They will be here soon."

"If you pull yourself together now, I won't tell Tana about what just happened."

Poppy’s face flushed red; her pupils were still somewhat unfocused, but she already had the most basic emotional fluctuations.

"Benefactor, you saved Poppy again."

Li Yao didn't pay attention to her,

but looked at the surrounding magic insects.

To ensure Kujo Mise could find him,

Li Yao had kept his aura from extinguishing.

The surrounding demonic insects instinctively avoided Li Yao.

forming a vacuum zone.

From the moment the orange space shattered until now,

it had been less than two minutes.

The screams were still there.

Li Yao let Kha'Zix join the battlefield.

While collecting attributes, he also rescued these subterranean humanoids.

He could clearly feel

that the screams were much fewer than when they first started.

These subterranean humanoids

were all powerhouses who had been promoted from the subterranean world, one in a hundred.

They were slowly accepting reality and resisting these Magic Insect Race members.

Each cave area had hundreds of Fifth-Turn Lord-level powerhouses.

This was an extremely powerful force.

(This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!)

However,

Li Yao knew very well

that being able to resist was useless.

Could they go without eating or drinking, resisting for a month, or even countless months?

The Magic Insect Race wasn't strong; they were strong in numbers!

Imprisoned here by [The Lilliputians' Fury],

there was only a dead end in the end,

turning into nourishment for the Magic Insect Race.

Therefore,

Li Yao’s expression was solemn.

Was this the Magic Insect Race’s means of feeding?

Were those powerful mimic magic insects, and high-level soldiers like the Dragon-Blood Magic Insects, propagated in this way?

Then what about the low-level soldiers?

Xiao Bai had been on Blue Star for a while now.

As an old rival of humanity, the Magic Insect Mother,

naturally, researchers had been studying it day and night.
