Chapter 897

A giant eyeball half a meter in size sprouted.

The eyelid closed.

When it opened again,

inside the pupil,

a blurry insect body appeared.

Its physique was massive;

the trees nearby looked like mere blades of grass beside it.

It was milky white with a bloated abdomen, yet its mouthparts were incomparably sharp.

If any Dragon Nation practitioner were present,

they would certainly recognize that this insect was Benefactor Xiao Bai!

Miss Jiutiao Lu Zai introduced from the side:

"The Demon Insect clan—you should have seen them in the literature."

"The insect swarm that has been locked in combat with human practitioners for decades; Meise, what grade do you think it is?"

Miss Jiutiao Meise barely thought, her eyes filled with astonishment: "Without a doubt, S-grade."

The next second,

a black shadow flashed by, the image vanished, and it returned to the appearance of an eyeball.

"S-grade swarms aren't so easy to monitor," Miss Jiutiao Lu Zai said, unperturbed. "They possess powerful anti-reconnaissance swarms. We are watching them, but they might already be searching for our location right now."

"Time, location," Miss Jiutiao Meise asked.

Finally convinced, then.

Miss Jiutiao Lu Zai breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Based on the movement speed of that S-grade swarm, you need to arrive at the border of the southern region with the Water Turtle Insects within six hours."

"To avoid any accidents, you can set off now."

On the other side,

Lost Forest, southern region.

Li Yao was riding on the back of Gainyate,

in hot pursuit of the Chess Piece and that tidal wave of insects.

In this kind of chase,

the insect swarm had almost no room to resist.

Kazike could abandon all defense

and put all his focus into how to hunt as many insects as possible.

If he didn't let the Azure Bird and Gainyate take action,

the hunting time would be drawn out very long.

But Li Yao was very patient.

Flying in the sky, he followed quietly behind.

His Strength attribute was, without a moment's pause,

continuously jumping upward.

One hour later,

it broke through 110,000.

Three hours later,

it broke through 120,000.

As the insect swarm became fewer and fewer,

a decrease in the amplification rate was inevitable.

Four hours, five hours.

At high noon,

the small sun slowly descended.

The colors of dusk spilled over the earth.

At this moment,

the insect swarm had become scattered, fleeing in all directions.

"On average, only one out of every thirty insects exceeds my level."

"There's no need to waste time chasing the rest of these."

"Just leave them to Kaisa and the Mighty Mountain Demon Insects."

Li Yao pondered and ordered Kazike to return.

Unlike the other Chess Pieces,

Kaisa's superb Agility attribute meant

that even if he let her go far away, Li Yao wouldn't worry.

If she encountered that kind of ridiculously strong monster,

and even Kaisa couldn't retreat unscathed,

then even if he were right beside her,

he would likely not be its match either!

Li Yao took out the Sound Snail.

"You can have the ordinary Mountain Demon Insects come over to transport the insect corpses now."

After Benefactor Xiao Bai entered its mature stage,

it stopped breeding ordinary Mountain Demon Insects.

These guys didn't have high combat power,

so transporting corpses wasn't exactly beneath them.

"Understood," the voices of the others rang out in the Sound Snail.

Yao Shanxue's voice sounded:

"Li Yao, I've found the class advancement item. Should I send it to you now?"

"Where are you located? I'll come over."

"Area 142."

Gainyate sped forward.

Li Yao was in the air and soon saw Yao Shanxue's figure.

He leaped down.

"Here," Yao Shanxue handed two crystals and a piece of unknown ore fragment, along with a bag of storage items, to Li Yao.

Li Yao threw the bag of storage items onto Gainyate's back.

This thing—

unless you take everything inside out,

you can't put it into a storage ring.

"Sorry for the trouble, Senior Sister Yao," Li Yao thanked her sincerely.

This kind of item that increases the difficulty of class advancement tasks

had no special description.

If he didn't have the knowledgeable Senior Sister Yao,

he really wouldn't have been able to distinguish it.

"It's fine. I'll go collect the insect corpses first."

"Alright."

After Yao Shanxue left,

Li Yao recited silently in his heart:

"Accept class advancement task!"

【Ding! Do you wish to consume Soul Crystals/Starry Ashes to increase the task difficulty!】
