The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 162 - 124: Rare Insect Clan, Mud Blade Mantis! _4

"Tuotuo, you can’t fight up close and personal with it. Your flesh body is not as sharp as its sword, a single hit might cause internal injury!"

Su Mei glanced at her cracked protective armor, her heart pounding in fear.

She had just activated her ’Damage Reduction Shotgun’ mode, as the Mud Blade Mantis’s attack landed, part of the damage was transferred to her armor in the first instance.

But the remaining damage still viciously cut through the fur, slashing in almost ten centimeters deep, spraying out a significant amount of blood.

"Gah!!"

The Pink Ostrich disregarded its master’s order, stimulated by the intense pain even the tiny shred of sanity it had left was now lost.

Its eyes, red as if they were about to bleed, charged wildly and launched a ’Spring Kick’, attempting to kick the giant mantis against a tree.

"Whoosh—"

With a flash of gray light, the mantis took to the skies.

Yes! The Mud Blade Mantis can fly at low altitudes! This advantage is one of the key factors contributing to its 90-point rating!

"Splat!!"

The Pink Ostrich’s ’Spring Kick’ completely missed, but the Mantis’s ’Instant Blade’ skill of over 80 Marks, hit perfectly.

Su Mei’s armor burst open, she groaned, clinging tightly to the ostrich’s neck to prevent herself from being thrown off by her own contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.

"Gah!!!"

The second blow hurt much more than the first.

Just at the position of the waist, blood squirted out, dampening the afro of the lower body in an instant.

"Gah, Gah!!"

The Giant Ostrich suddenly jumped up, as if using all the strength it had in its life-time.

With a bang, it actually did not fall to the ground. Its right foot stepped on the nonexistent air, acting as if it was stepping on a piece of transparent glass. It once again bounced even higher.

"Wait!"

Ye Hanjun timely called out to Huazhu, his piercing gaze firmly fixed on the ostrich.

He was not wrong, this was ’Air Step’, a skill not so powerful, but incredibly practical, and hard for Clay Body Fond Spirits to seize the opportunity to comprehend.

But this was just the beginning of the unusual occurrence, and the event that surprised even Ye Hanjun was about to happen.

Because of the distance, the Mud Blade Mantis initially didn’t intend to dodge.

However, the ostrich used Air Step, taking a successful leap forward, the alert mantis instinctively wanted to dodge.

"Gah!!!"

The enraged Pink Ostrich, with eyes bulging out, bent one leg and stretched the other straight. Astonishingly it spun in the air, spinning faster and harder, like a gyrating top swirling mid-air, it flew sideways and hit hard against the chest armor of the Mud Blade Mantis.

"Bang!!"

The negligent Mud Blade Mantis, was unable to dodge such a strange attack, hitting against a tree. Its insect armor, being not so sturdy, cracked open leaving a huge hole and deep red blood spewed out.

"Bang!!"

The second crisp sound came from Su Mei.

Due to the sudden spinning of the ostrich, she could not maintain her balance.

Once a knight, she had now been thrown off the back of her contracted Fond Spirits. Just as she was about to hit a tree, a fierce wind swept by. Huazhu appeared beneath her, her golden eyes slightly condensed, and massive amounts of sand rose to the sky, acting as layer upon layer of buffering.

As a result, when Su Mei actually hit the tree, it felt like she just accidentally fell down. Apart from some pain in her shoulders and back, there were no bone fractures.

"Mud... Mud!!"

The Mud Blade Mantis, struggling to get up, was furious.

It was about to charge forward, when it suddenly met with Huazhu’s pair of golden eyes, giving it a shudder.

Then, it pushed with the fastest speed in its life, regardless of its unbalanced body, it forced itself to fly towards the sky at an angle.

"Moth, wing attack!"

The Ghost-faced Moth stuck its head out, and a precise wing attack struck the back armor of the Mud Blade Mantis,

At the same time, Huazhu, who was suspended in mid-air, threw out a giant sand fist, slamming down from above, sending the flying Mud Blade Mantis crashing back to the ground in one punch.

"Mud... Mud..."

The Mud Blade Mantis, which was fast and powerful but didn’t have a strong enough physical body, rolled its eyes and passed out.

Ye Hanjun slowly walked over to its side, inspected its injuries, observed its attribute menu, and pondered for a bit before saying:

"Li Jingming, the value of this creature is not in its materials, but in its species bloodline."

"Although it doesn’t have Contract Imprints and can’t sign contracts, which means trouble to a certain degree."

"But this kind of Insect Spirit, which understands human nature, can indeed be cultivated as an extra Spirit Fond Spirits, you might want to try it, it wouldn’t hurt."

Li Jingming pursed his lips, he seemed thoughtful at Ye Hanjun’s words and also seemed tempted.

"Gah!!"

The wobbly Pink Ostrich, which just managed to get up, had not yet left its state of rage.

It didn’t care about the Sandstorm Witch or the Ghost-Faced Moth, it just focused on the unconscious Mud Blade Mantis, wanting to charge over and stomp on its head to avenge the two blows.
