Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the flying mantis in the air and the huge mother nest, Mo Xiao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Flying Mantis at the side.
He used the Illusion Breaking Technique again.

Sky-Locking Blade: Blocks space with rapid rotation of the blade, capable of interrupting enemy skills.
“Jumped straight to level 30…”
Mo Xiao gritted his teeth, “Fortunately, its attributes aren’t too terrifying… I hope that the mother nest isn’t too strong…”
With that, Mo Xiao’s Thousand Mechanism Umbrella instantly transformed into a staff shape. “Skeleton Lord!”
Although it only had 3,000 mana points, Mo Xiao immediately summoned the Skeleton Lord.
Not to mention anything else, after all, the Skeleton Lord had the skill of sharing life. With him around, he could tolerate some mistakes.
Just as Mo Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the Flying Mantis, the huge mother nest suddenly trembled.
In the next moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded.
Following that, a cloud of black fog suddenly flew out from the mother nest, and then dispersed, surrounding the flying mantis.
Looking at this thing, Mo Xiao frowned slightly and used the Illusion Breaking Technique again.
[Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquito]

HP: 10/10

The level of these Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes was very low, and their health was low as well, but weren’t their skills a bit too disgusting?
Sucking blood was one thing, but being able to use the sucked blood on others?
Moreover, they were fast in flight and could dodge 60% of attacks?
And he even needed to kill all the mosquitoes to defeat them! This was too much!
Looking at this dark swarm, Mo Xiao couldn’t even tell how many of them there were. If these mosquitoes swarmed him all at once, wouldn’t they suck him dry in an instant?
Just as Mo Xiao was gritting his teeth in frustration, he suddenly felt a pain in his arm. A mosquito had appeared on his arm without him noticing.
[-i],[-i],[-i],[-U…
In just a few breaths of time, his health seemed to be draining rapidly, as if through a pipe.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao immediately slapped the mosquito on his arm.
-295
A damage of not too big nor too small flashed by in an instant.
The mosquito’s health bar was obviously emptied, but it quickly recovered.
Just as Mo Xiao was puzzled, he looked up again and saw some mosquitoes on the Flying Mantis sucking blood, saving their nearly dying companions.
“Damn! Can they even do that?! These mosquitoes are really disgusting!”
Of course, Mo Xiao had no choice, as the monsters didn’t give him time to think.
Without waiting for Mo Xiao to come up with a solution, 30 Flying Mantises rushed at him with their huge sickles.
“Shield Counter!”
Mo Xiao saw this and raised his shield, instantly blocking the attacks of the Flying Mantises.
At the same time, he reflected their attacks back at them.
Seeing the health bars of the Flying Mantises drop significantly, Mo Xiao hadn’t even had time to rejoice when he saw their health bars recover again.
From this situation, either he had to deal with thirty Flying Mantises in one go, or he had to spend a considerable amount of time grinding them down.
After all, they could be considered to share their life. Only by consuming all their health could the battle be resolved.
Outside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Yan Zhantian watched Mo Xiao eagerly. “Use fire attribute attacks! Use fire quickly! These bugs are most afraid of fire!!”
At the side, Su Jin’er and Yao Shi’er looked at the excited Yan Zhantian with speechless expressions. “Why are you so excited?”
“This is the 17th floor. As long as he can pass the 17th floor, you lose!” Yan Zhantian said excitedly.
When Yao Shi’er heard this, she rolled her eyes at Yan Zhantian and said, “How can he possibly defeat so many mother nest creatures? His current magic points are only 3,000, and even if he uses an area-of-effect skill like the Sea of Fire, he doesn’t have enough magic points to squander.
“This is the downside of having such powerful skills. His magic points are simply not enough.”
When Yan Zhantian heard this, he looked at Yao Shi’er unhappily, “How do you know he can’t make it? Didn’t you think he might not make it on the fifteenth floor before? But he passed, didn’t he?”
“This is different.” Yao Shi’er looked at Yan Zhantian and said in a low voice, “By the way, why don’t you take a look at the assessments of the other disciples? Didn’t you say you didn’t have any disciples yourself?
“Mo Xiao’s talent is unmatched. Anyway, I’ve decided to take him as my disciple!”
Just as Yan Zhantian and the others were curious about what Mo Xiao would do, Mo Xiao raised his hand and a burst of flames erupted.
Countless mosquitoes seemed to have been scorched and fell from the sky. Even the effect of the mosquito swarm couldn’t save them.
“It looks like bugs are all afraid of fire attribute skills.”
Mo Xiao’s eyes brightened.
He raised the staff in his hand. “Sea of Fire!”
This time, it wasn’t that Mo Xiao didn’t want to use Dragon Language magic, but his magic points couldn’t support him in casting Dragon Language magic. He could only try using a regular Sea of Fire.
With the appearance of the Sea of Fire, all the mosquitoes scattered, except for the large Flying Mantis that couldn’t dodge and was directly hit by the flames.
In an instant, their bodies seemed to be on fire as if oil had been poured on them.
Just when Mo Xiao thought there was hope, those mosquitoes suddenly went crazy, rushing towards him frantically.
In almost an instant, they surrounded Mo Xiao and launched attacks at him.
Even though Mo Xiao was using fire magic, they still rushed forward.
Seeing this scene, his heart tightened. He quickly retreated, but for some reason, the mosquitoes’ movement speed was extremely fast.
Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and a ball of flames suddenly emerged from his chest. The next moment, his entire body turned into flames..
