Chapter 254: Take a Gamble or Stop the Loss in Time?

Li Yidao’s actions puzzled the old man and others standing nearby.

Seeing the old man’s puzzled expression, Li Yidao calmly said, “We can’t wait for reinforcements; they are about to awaken.”

Hearing this, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then his expression turned serious.

If what Li Yidao said was true, and they couldn’t wait for reinforcements, the opponents would awaken. That would be troublesome.

Exhaling deeply, the old man silently observed the situation, his gaze filled with seriousness.

If there were no unexpected circumstances, Li Yidao wouldn’t lie or joke about this matter. In that case, things were not looking good.

“If we take action now, the situation might get worse,” the old man spoke in a low voice, but everyone in the vicinity could hear.

Among the remaining Yun City individuals, one person clenched their teeth and said, “Elder Fu, let’S go down first! Since they are in a dormant state, we will use our insects to deal with them. Then, we will use our secret technique to forcefully put these insects back to sleep. We’ll trouble you guys then!”

Secret technique?

Li Yidao took a deep look at him.

His was emotionless.

Should he use a secret technique?

Truly, it was meaningless.

He had already seen the resolution of these people.

Even after using their secret technique, they would die, and the subsequent crisis would still persist.

In other words, their secret technique was practically pointless!

“No need to go. Your method won’t work,” Li Yidao calmly stated.

This time, he didn’t provide reasons or explanations because he didn’t know if revealing heavenly secrets again would result in the deduction of another portion of his lifespan.

His lifespan was already less than ten thousand years!

If another deduction occurred, that would be unacceptable!

In this case, his thoughts naturally changed.

“Hoo… What should we do?” The man from Yun City’s eyes were filled with confusion.

If everything Li Yidao said was true, the impending crisis wouldn’t be as simple as they thought.

The crisis was about to arrive, and escaping was not an option for the people of Yun City.

These insects specifically targeted the insects of Yun City, feeding on them to enhance their energy.

Under such circumstances, there was no way they could escape. Even if they ran to the ends of the earth, the insects would follow, unless they severed their connection with the insects.

But every insect was like their own child.

In such a situation, how could they possibly abandon them? It was neither feasible nor possible.

So, many times, many things were naturally not so simple.

Watching their anxious expressions, Li Yidao currently had no good solution.

He attempted to use abilities like the Blade of Death and Soul Seizure to investigate, but for some reason, be it distance or some other factor, none of these skills worked.

If he could use the Blade of Death directly now, he wouldn’t mind swiftly exterminating the opponents in large numbers.

Directly eliminating them without any unknown variables would be the most silent and efficient way to deal with them, ensuring there was no chance for escape.

However, he couldn’t use it, and that made him feel quite helpless.

So now, what could they do?

Or rather, what was the way forward for them?

Should they just rush in blindly?

But by doing so, there was a high probability that they wouldn’t be able to completely resolve the issue!

In such a situation, as long as one of them escaped, there was a high probability they would redevelop.

Perhaps the development would take a very long time, but with enough time and nourishment, the ultimate result was predictable.

They were like roaches that couldn’t be killed!

This was different from ghost insects, which didn’t possess the same level of destructive and offensive power.

However, in such a situation, when their numbers reached a certain quantity, many things would be different.

After all, without insects, they would seek other sources of food.

Insects were like top-notch ingredients, promoting their development.

With other food sources, progress would likely take a year or two for any significant improvement.

So, insects were what they needed the most, and that’s why they chose this location for breeding. People from Yun City frequently passed through this area.

If they could consume one or two, they would gain more strength, and with the enhanced strength, they could consume even more.

In this repeating cycle, they would naturally infiltrate.

So, they were like roaches that couldn’t be killed!

That’s also the reason why releasing even one of them might lead to their resurgence.

Not only that, through Li Yadao’s investigation, these creatures had already grown.

If they were to escape, even just one of them, reproducing would be easy.

So, Li Yidao and his group were now in a dilemma. Should they take action?

They might not be able to control their opponents completely, and this might make them even more reckless.

But if they didn’t take action, waiting until the opponents truly erupted might be uncontrollable!

In simple terms, taking action now could eliminate a large portion, but there would likely be some escapees.

However, if they didn’t take action, they could wait for the reinforcement.

Yun City had matured countermeasures against such entities.

But if the support was insufficient, the consequences were predictable.

By then, whether Li Yidao and his group could escape would become the issue.

So, in such logical circumstances, their choices were in such a predicament.

Take a gamble, or act now? It was challenging..
