Chapter 861

"You want to kill me? Then come and try!"

"Let's see who kills whom!"

"Swish!"

Kazik and Levsky crossed paths.

Time seemed to stand still.

Half a breath later,

a head soared into the sky.

"Let my teammates go," the headless body whispered.

"Fine."

High in the firmament,

Li Yao put down the sound snail in his hand.

"He counts as a man," he muttered, then stopped paying attention to Shanfeng No. 2.

As the underground insect swarm joined the battlefield from the central area,

facing enemies on two sides,

the Lishan Demon Insects showed signs of defeat.

"Kazik, take Qin Xuejun to a safe place."

Qin Xuejun, due to severe mana exhaustion,

after seeing Li Yao,

was overly surprised

and fell into a state of mild coma.

Li Yao didn't wake her,

letting her rest well for a while.

"Then go watch the Eagle Nation's practitioners; I'll go to the main battlefield first."

After giving the order, Li Yao rode Gaen-Yat toward the center of the battlefield.

The core area of the battlefield

was the area where the insect swarms clashed the most broadly.

A ten-million-level battlefield,

the clash area spanned dozens of kilometers.

The blood of the insect swarms had already gathered into a river.

For some small insects, the blood was deep enough to reach their abdomens.

Various mangled limbs, viscera, and minced meat were mixed into the blood,

making the river incomparably viscous

and emitting a bloody stench

that could even be smelled from high altitude.

Yao Shanxue covered her mouth and nose,

trying her best to prevent the stench from ambushing her sense of smell.

She patted the back of the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect,

signaling it to fly into the high altitude.

Yao Shanxue had an S-grade skill called 【Ice Armor】,

which was an Ice Mage's life-saving divine skill, commonly known as 'Ice Block.'

It granted immunity to all damage for a short time, but she would turn into an ice sculpture and be unable to move.

Whenever the Ice Block cooldown ended,

she would have the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect fly to a low altitude,

release an ultra-large-range burst skill,

use Ice Block, and then have the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect take her to a high altitude to avoid attacks from flying insects.

Relying on this shameless combo,

Yao Shanxue was a battlefield emergency medic,

supporting wherever help was needed.

At first,

the effect was extremely significant,

but the further it went,

the more her mana was depleted; even if she forced it out, the damage was greatly reduced.

Lying on the back of the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect,

Yao Shanxue poked her head out,

looking at the countless monsters below.

In these few hours,

she didn't know how many insects she had killed,

but it was definitely an unimaginable number.

Yet, in front of the million-strong insect army, it seemed like a drop in the bucket,

not even showing a decrease in numbers.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

"Can human practitioners only do this much in front of an army of monsters?"

Yao Shanxue gritted her teeth, supporting herself with her hands on the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect's back, trying hard to stand up.

After trying several times, she still couldn't do it.

Finally, she used her staff as a crutch

and managed to stand up.

"Mana exhaustion, so this is what it feels like."

Dazed, her vision blurred, and there was a faint stinging pain in her mind.

Even the most basic actions required great effort!

Yao Shanxue stomped her feet, signaling the Dragon-Blood Demon Insect to fly downward.

"Ice Block cooldown is over again, huh."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just then,

Yao Shanxue stopped her spellcasting.

In the distance,

the mountain peak collapsed with a roar.

Yao Shanxue opened her mouth, her pupils shrinking slightly, her lips trembling.

"Li Yao, did he fail after all?"

Yao Shanxue sighed.

"As expected,"

she wasn't rational enough,

actually harboring a sliver of expectation for Li Yao.

"I suppose he did his best."

"A single practitioner blocking millions of insects is ultimately an impossible thing to happen!"

"This is only the first mountain peak."

"With so many insects breaking through the ground, before long, all the peaks will be breached!"

Yao Shanxue thought for a moment and picked up the sound snail.

"Li Yao, where are you now?"

"The underground insect swarm has come out."
