Chapter 125 Rare Zerg, Mud Blade Mantis!

In my ears, I couldn't even hear the sound of the insect spirit flapping its wings.

In the cold night, the cold moonlight fell gently along with the blown mist.

Li Jingming and Su Mei left the hiding area and walked stiffly towards Lord Ye Han.

When they stood still, they looked forward, with a dazed expression mixed with a hint of complexity.

The giant duck beast...is really dead!

It fell into a pool of blood, and the lower half of its body sank into the mud.

The sharp knife marks on the upper body were shocking, not a single hair was intact, there were bloody gashes everywhere, and exposed white animal bones could be seen everywhere.

There were four or five suspected fatal injuries, such as a split neck, a broken back, a broken heart...

It is expected that the giant duck beast is a beast's beloved spirit, and no matter how tenacious its vitality is, it will not be able to survive an injury of this degree.

When the strong wind subsided and the yellow sand dispersed, only the body was still warm, and the unblinking eyes seemed to reflect incomprehensible panic.

Probably even it didn't expect that it would end up dying in such a miserable and pitiful manner at the hands of a clay sculpture.

"grown ups."

Hua Zhu controls the flow of wind and floats next to Ye Hanjun.

At this time, the dissipated mist has not yet condensed again. The moonlight is shining on the top of the head, and the dark wizard hat seems to be covered with a layer of silver gray.

And the golden hair fluttering in the wind is fluffy, light and soft.

After gazing at it for a long time, each one seemed like an elf with spirituality. I wanted to reach out and touch it to experience the supreme silky texture.

However, if your eyes fall on the witch's face, that slightly petite face already has the embryonic form of unparalleled elegance.

She was like an arrogant snowy plum blooming alone in a quiet valley, her beautiful eyes looking forward, showing an understatement of calmness and elegance.

Killing the giant duck beast...so easy?

It seems that there are one against three in the training hall. In the final analysis, the confidence is absolute confidence in strength!

Li Jingming and Su Mei looked at Hua Zhu with even more respect.

"It's not bad. It's an "unparalleled skill" that goes beyond the limits. "

Lord Ye Han showed a faint smile. He was pulling and circling in the first place, consuming his physical energy, and then he was "dancing wildly in the sand", responsible for the final kill.

Although Hua Zhu's physical weakness is still extremely obvious.

But there are amazingly powerful attack spells and sturdy and durable defensive spells, combined with a flexible posture and light adaptability.

The fetus of clay sculpture, there are really not many spirits that can compete with her.

The giant platypus - his death was not unjust at all!

It was like a stepping stone to witness Huazhu going all out for the first time.

Such a gorgeous gesture and such a thrilling achievement are probably just the beginning of the "Sandstorm" line's fame.

"Tear-"

Lord Yehan used the blood-sucking dagger to cut off the giant duck beast's neck bit by bit.

The valuable material of the giant duck is actually its hair, which can be used to make high-end clothing.

Unfortunately, the damage in this battle was too severe and there was no need to collect it.

However, the duck neck is still quite delicious. It is roasted slowly over low heat and is very suitable for snacks.

"It's almost early in the morning. That's it for today. Let's find a place to rest."

Lord Yehan took back the flowers and candles, Li Jingming and Su Mei said hello, and silently followed Master Han's pace.

…

In an area like Yellow Slough, it is not easy to find temporary overnight accommodation.

As the night gets darker, there are more dangerous predators than there are during the day, and you will bump into them if you are not careful.

Even though Lord Yehan has rich experience and strong perception, he was still forced to participate in several battles.

Of course, I didn't encounter Kasumi's fetus.

The clay sculpture-level wild spirits, in addition to slowing down the team's progress, cannot cause team members to suffer intolerable injuries.

Finally, the three of them hid inside a rock tree that had been dead for many years.

Ye Hanjun put on his clothes and took a nap, maintaining his usual resting pattern, which not only restored his energy but also allowed him to detect danger immediately.

Su Mei and Li Jingming spent the night in the swamp for the first time.

There are far more monsters wandering around than in the trial area.

Their nerves were hard to relax, and neither of them slept well after a night passed.

In order to ensure that their next actions would not be affected, Ye Hanjun asked them to rest until noon.

"Zizzizi——"

The bonfire has been lit, and the duck necks are cut into countless small pieces and slowly smoked and roasted.

As the temperature rises, the lingering fog becomes lighter.

The penetration of a little sunlight also caused the spirits living in the swamp area to temporarily lose their activity, and they spent a lazy afternoon together.

"It smells so good..."

A dazed Su Mei, rubbing her sleepy eyes, crawled out from inside the rock tree.

Then she saw that Li Jingming, who had just woken up, was organizing his equipment, while Master Han was sitting around a bonfire, patiently cooking some kind of meat.

"Gurgling..."

My hungry stomach made an unsatisfactory sound.

Ye Hanjun handed over a few skewers of roast duck necks at the right time and divided them between the two of them.

"Kacha, kacha——"

The roast duck neck is bitten with the teeth, the crispy skin touches the tip of the tongue, and the peppery and numbing spices soak into the nasal cavity.

Su Mei and Li Jingming's eyes lit up, and they chewed faster subconsciously.

"Master Han, the food you made...is really delicious!"

"Although it is not a magical food and cannot trigger special effects, the taste is really impeccable!"

Su Mei licked her lips, unaware that the meat had already been eaten. After spitting out the bones, her face was full of aftertaste and wonder.

"Food is one of the few ways of enjoying myself that I never tire of."

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly, and said what he had wanted to say for a long time, Feng Qingyun said calmly:

"Su Mei, Li Jingming, you seized the opportunity to change your destiny. With my encouragement, you separated from your past selves and worked hard towards a brilliant future."

"But in your spare time, you should also think carefully about what goals you really want to achieve deep in your hearts."

"This goal can be far-fetched, absurd, and not understood by the world."

"It's not just about 'becoming stronger', but after becoming stronger, dreams that were previously unattainable can be realized."

“I call it ‘the power of growth’, or ‘belief of growth’.”

"For example, although there are countless factors forcing me to become stronger, I often can't help myself."

“But ‘the desire of food and drink’ is one of my spontaneous motivations. There is no pressure from outsiders and it belongs entirely to me. "

Shaking his head, Lord Yehan said with seriousness:

"Remember, never get stronger just to get stronger, you must find your own beliefs."

"If one day you stand at the top of the world, no one can look up to you, no one can stand beside you, and no one wants to protect you... What is the purpose of this nihilistic strength?"

"Higher rank, stronger spirits, more property... these are not the purpose of being born as a human being, but a better life. Never put the cart before the horse."

"Su Mei, Li Jingming—I hope that as my disciples, you will not lose yourself."

"Think carefully about what you want to pursue. It doesn't matter if you can't think of it for the time being. This is a question that can take a lifetime to think about."

"Believe me, when you have your own beliefs, whether it is one or multiple, and you approach them one by one, you will become invincible. No matter how many confusions you have, it will not hinder your eyesight. No matter how big the difficulty is, it will not hinder your eyesight." Can't stop your progress..."

A few paragraphs, like thunder falling on the heartstrings.

Su Mei, who was just tasting the delicious food and admiring it with joy, felt her shoulders tremble and her whole body froze.

As for Li Jingming, whose eyes were shining brightly, he seemed to see a more shining road to control spirits, getting closer and closer to him and becoming more and more real.

"Hey, this kind of coaching can also feed back?"

Ye Hanjun originally wanted to lay a solid foundation for the two disciples and plant the seeds called "faith" as early as possible so that their future paths would be more long-term.

Unexpectedly, the disciple's passive power "feeds back" and is activated accordingly.

Another amount of experience value that should not be underestimated poured into his body, and the experience of the accelerated flow of authority was numb and joyful.

"The tutors in the academy never explain this..."

"But Master Han's words came from the heart, giving us a spiritual impact... and they also had the potential to shake mountains and seas!"

Li Jingming cupped his fists and bowed, expressing his gratitude to Lord Ye Han for his enlightening words with solemn etiquette.

Su Mei, who came to her senses, quickly followed suit.

Her delicate face was filled with a glimmer that was not seen on ordinary days. When facing Mr. Ye Han, she seemed to be less reserved and more playful.

"Master Han, before I figure out what I want to do in this life, I am more and more determined to target you and keep chasing you!"

"Although we are about the same age, you really meet all the ideal definitions of a "teacher". It is truly a blessing in life to be your apprentice!" "

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly and stopped answering.

He stood up from the rock and motioned for the two of them to divide the remaining duck neck. After finishing their meal, they were ready to start today's adventure.

"Li Jingming, try the full version of "Sweet Slime" today. "

Li Jingming nodded, first agreed, and then thought:

"Master Han, the dose was halved yesterday, but there was still a lot of noise."

"I'm worried that if I go all out, I might alert a big bug like Kasumi Teru."

"It doesn't matter, wait until it comes."

Lord Ye Han remained calm, and suddenly took out a red medicine bottle from his dimensional bag, handed it to Su Mei and said:

"This is the "violent potion" I mentioned to you. I bought it from the store first, and then I added a few special ingredients to slightly change the potion's properties. "

"Later, when all the bugs are attracted, you can let the ostrich drink it."

"In about fifteen minutes, the ostrich's fighting power soared, and it was infinitely close to the perfection of the clay sculpture."

"But it will become 'out of control' and have difficulty obeying your orders."

"All you need to do is ride and control it, and let it go crazy while ensuring that your life is safe."

"In this way, during the battle, it will have the opportunity to learn new skills and indirectly improve its overall combat capabilities."

"I understand!" Su Mei nodded solemnly.

After some deliberation, Li Jingming spent twice as much time as yesterday to carefully lay out insect net traps.

Then, he smeared the sweet slime on the edge of a giant rock. When the sweet aroma began to fill the air, he retreated and, together with Ye Hanjun and Su Mei, stayed three hundred meters away from the trap and took shelter in another tree. Behind the rock tree.

"Buzz buzz-"

The first thing to rush over turned out to be a group of "zombie bees".

This insect-type spirit does not collect nectar, but likes to collect blood from dead corpses, and eventually brews "blood honey".

They are small in size and insect nets with large holes make it difficult to catch them.

But there are too many of them. With thirty or fifty of them moving together, there are still many unlucky ones who are squeezed out of flying space by pig teammates, and then come into close contact with the insect net.

"Jiejiejie..."

A "ghost flea" jumped out, as big as a person. Every time it bounced, it was like an erratic ghost. After a few flashes, it chased behind the zombie bees, frantically for fear that they would snatch the food. Bounce impact.

Bang bang bang!

Ping ping ping pong! !

——The insect competition begins again.

In order to cross the insect net and get closer to the rock, the participating insect-type spirits tried their best.

Some even fight among members of the same clan, wanting to tear each other to pieces on the spot in order to reduce competition.

Li Jingming, who was secretly spying, was sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers at this stage.

The skyrocketing experience points made his eyes sparkle, and at his peak, there was even a trace of flush on his cheeks.

However, the sweet smell that overflowed gradually weakened.

Some of the insect-type spirits regained consciousness and no longer gathered towards the rocks. They just wanted to break free from the shackles of the insect net and escape from this land of right and wrong.

"Oostrich, it's our turn!"

The imagined fetus of Xia Zhaozhao did not appear. Su Mei summoned the pink ostrich and poured the violent potion directly into its mouth.

"Hiccup~~~"

The big ostrich burped and then farted loudly.

Visible to the naked eye, those big, piercing eyes suddenly turned as scarlet as blood.

"Quack! Quack, quack!"

The crazy pink ostrich almost bit Li Jingming's hair.

In order to prevent one of the school idols recognized by the freshmen of the college from becoming bald.

Su Mei, whose heart was in her throat, hugged the ostrich's neck again and again, aiming its eyes at the tangle of insects not far away.

"Gah?" ()

The big ostrich was stunned and paused.

Probably because the buzzing and noisy insects made it extremely irritated, the big ostrich's attention was suddenly diverted, and it rushed out wildly, stepping on it with its big feet, causing mud to fly to both sides.

"Quack quack! quack quack!!"

The pink ostrich, which usually attacks mainly by hitting and kicking, comes up with a headbutt.

Two grass butterflies were fighting together, but they were separated due to this collision. Then the two grass butterflies stopped killing each other, and in a blink of an eye, the ostrich was the target of a concerted attack.

"Sususususu——"

A pile of dark green powder floated towards the ostrich's body.

That is "grass seed powder" with 50 lines. Once planted in the body, it will sprout very quickly. If not controlled, the body's flexibility will be gradually restricted.

In the past, Su Mei would have driven Ostrich to dodge.

But this time, her order failed. The red-eyed pink ostrich ignored it and jumped three meters high. In mid-air, it swept its legs. A grass butterfly did not react at all. It was kicked to pieces in the stomach and fell to the mud. There is no breath inside.

"Eh?!"

Su Mei stared, as if it was the first time she met Ostrich, and she was particularly shocked.

Realizing that most of the grass seed powder was attached to her body, she quickly took out a water charm.

After crushing it, a stream of blue water sprayed out and poured down the back of the big ostrich, and all the dark green powder was washed away.

In this way, before Su Mei could take a breath, the ostrich continued to go crazy. It spotted an iron beetle that was trying to burrow into the ground and escape, and kicked it up, kicking it hundreds of meters away like a football.

"Oostrich, calm down!"

"Look behind you! There's an insect sneak attack!"

Su Mei had already activated the protective armor and damage-reducing gauntlets, but at this time, the tacit understanding between one person and one animal was almost nonexistent. Just to avoid falling off the ostrich's back, she had to devote all her energy.

"Tear-"

A flash of sword light flashed, and a forty centimeter-long bloody gash appeared near the big ostrich's butt.

"Gah?!"

The painful pink ostrich jumped up on the spot and turned around suddenly.

What attacked it was a giant mantis, covered in gray carapace and holding two sharp machetes.

Although the overall color is extremely monotonous, the translucent compound eyes sparkle with humanized wisdom.

"Mudblade Mantis?"

Li Jingming, holding a long sword, rushed into the battlefield behind Ostrich.

After noticing the mantis, he showed a hint of surprise.

The grimacing moth behind him subconsciously showed nervousness.

This bug...is dangerous!

If those two machetes hit its wings, it would be unable to stop it and it would be on the verge of death.

"A rare insect-type spirit?"

Ye Hanjun put on a faint smile.

The insect-type familiar spirit named "Mud Blade Mantis" is rare in number and powerful in combat.

If the Grimace Moth relies on its signature skill "Frightening Powder", it is a high-quality contracted spirit in the eyes of "Insect Keepers" and "Insect Catchers", with a guaranteed score of 85 points.

The only way to win is the Mud Blade Mantis. It has agile speed, terrifying bursts, and a blade that can cut iron like mud. It combines three major advantages and can hover around 90 points.

"Shua——"

Lord Yehan summoned Huazhu, ready to help at any time.

The mud-blade mantis suddenly appeared, possessing the perfect state of clay sculpture.

This is one of the most threatening individuals in the process of trapping insects.

Although the pink ostrich's combat power has been enhanced, it has lost control and has limited attack methods. It may not even be able to touch the beetles of the Mudblade Mantis, so it can only be played around with.

"Little moth, strong wind!"

"call--"

The Grimace Moth flapped its wings, and a gust of wind passed by, restraining the Mudblade Mantis from moving forward and successfully giving the Ostrich a chance to react.

"Oostrich, you can't go head-to-head with it. Your flesh is not as sharp as its machete. If you touch it casually, you may injure your internal organs!"

Su Mei glanced at the cracked protective armor and felt frightened.

She had activated the "Damage Reduction Gauntlet" just now, and when the Mud Blade Mantis struck with a knife, part of the damage was immediately transferred to her own armor.

But the remaining ones still cut the hair severely, cutting it into a depth of nearly ten centimeters, and the blood spurted out was by no means a small amount.

"Gah!!"

The pink ostrich did not obey the order. At this time, it was stimulated by severe pain and lost its only trace of reason.

Those eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood. They rushed forward and used a "spring kick" to kick the giant mantis into the tree.

"brush--"

There was a flash of gray light, and the mantis flew up.

Yes! The Mudblade Mantis can fly at low altitudes! This advantage is also one of the key factors for the score to reach 90 points!

"Tear!!"

Pink Ostrich's "Spring Kick" completely missed, but Mudblade Mantis' "Snap Knife" with a pattern of 80 or above hit perfectly.

Su Mei's protective armor exploded. She groaned and hugged the ostrich's neck tightly to prevent herself from being thrown off her back by her contracted spirit.

"Gah!!!"

The second cut was far more painful than the first cut.

Just at the side of the waist, blood spurted out, and the hair on the lower body was instantly wet with blood.

"quack!!"

The big ostrich suddenly jumped up, as if it had used up all its strength in its life.

With a bang, it didn't actually fall to the ground. It stepped on the empty air with its right foot, as if it were stepping on a piece of transparent glass, and bounced higher again.

"etc!"

Ye Hanjun called Hua Zhu in time and stared at the ostrich with his burning eyes.

There is no mistake, this is "Air Treading", a skill that is not very powerful but very practical, and it is difficult for a clay sculptured spirit to master it.

But this was not all about the changes. Even Lord Ye Han was surprised by a scene that happened one after another.

Because the distance was too far, Mudblade Mantis did not intend to dodge at first.

However, the ostrich successfully jumped one step closer by using the air step, and the alert mantis instinctively had to dodge.

"Gah!!!"

The pink ostrich, with its eyes bulging out in anger, bent one leg and straightened the other leg. It actually spun in circles out of thin air, spinning faster and faster, like a spinning top flying in mid-air. After coming out, he hit Mudblade Mantis hard on its breastplate.

"boom!!"

The careless Mudblade Mantis failed to escape such a bizarre attack and crashed into a tree. The not-so-strong beetle shattered into a large hole, and bright red blood spurted out.

"boom!!"

The second crisp sound came from Samui.

Because of the sudden rotation of the ostrich, she was unable to stabilize her body.

A knight actually flew out from the back of the contracted spirit. Just when he was about to hit a tree, a gust of wind passed by, and Hua Zhu appeared under her body. His golden eyes condensed slightly, and a large amount of yellow sand appeared. Soaring into the sky, acting as layer after layer of buffer.

In this way, when Su Mei actually hit the tree, it was like an accidental fall. Except for some pain in her shoulders and back, there were no broken bones.

"NiNi! NiNi!!"

The Mud Blade Mantis struggled to get up, furious.

Just as he was about to rush forward, he suddenly met Hua Zhu's golden eyes and shuddered.

Then, it flew as fast as it could in its life, regardless of its unbalanced body, and flew straight up into the sky.

"Little moth, wing strike!"

The Grimace Moth stuck its head out and struck the Mudblade Mantis on the back with a precise wing attack.

At the same time, Huazhu, who was floating in the air, waved a huge sand fist. From top to bottom, he punched the mud-blade mantis from its flying posture to the ground.

"Ni Ni..."

Mudblade Mantis, who was fast and powerful, but whose physical body was not strong enough, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Lord Yehan walked slowly to its side, examined its injuries, observed its attribute panel, and said after some deliberation:

"Li Jingming, this guy's value does not lie in his materials, but in his racial bloodline."

"Although there is no contract mark and the contract cannot be signed, it means trouble to a certain extent."

"But this kind of insect-type companion spirit has human nature and can indeed be cultivated as a supernumerary companion spirit. Do you want to try it? You won't suffer any loss anyway."

Li Jingming pursed his lips, looking thoughtful and even more interested when he heard the words.

"Gah!!"

The pink ostrich climbed up swayingly, but it had not yet left its violent state.

It didn't care about the Sandstorm Witch or the Grimace Moth, it just stared at the unconscious Mudblade Mantis, wanting to rush over and crush its head in order to avenge the two blows.
