Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 473 Ghost Snake

But Ye Youlong was no longer a novice driver now.

Being taken for a ride naturally meant she had to pay it back.

She lifted her gaze toward Xiao Zhan with a provoking smile, "If it’s not a roundworm, then what do you think it is?"

"Of course, it’s... a Ghost Snake!"

Xiao Zhan’s voice suddenly became urgent, and as he uttered the words "Ghost Snake," his right hand shot forward like a dragon’s claw, snatching a dark figure that was stealthily attacking him!

Looking at the shadow in his hand, it was pitch-black and resembled a snake, but its head was hideously fierce, just like that of a ghoul.

It was the Third Grade Demon Beast, Ghost Snake!

Held tightly by Xiao Zhan, its lengthy body instantly wrapped around his arm and the ghoul-like head bared its fangs and hissed.

Its head shook relentlessly, looking for an angle to bite Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan’s brow furrowed slightly, his grip tightened, and he instantly crushed the Ghost Snake to pieces!

The bodyguards of the Lizard Federation also immediately gathered around, surrounding Xiao Zhan and her in the middle.

Even though, with Xiao Zhan’s and her strength, they didn’t need to be surrounded.

"This is a Third Grade Demon Beast, Ghost Snake, usually found in distant seas, how did it appear here?" said the captain of the bodyguards.

He was a man from the Lizard Federation and knew well the habits of the demon beasts that appeared around the Federation.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he quickly added, "We can’t stay here; it’s dangerous. Ghost Snakes are gregarious. The presence of one means there are at least a hundred nearby."

Saying this, he tried to lead Xiao Zhan and her away.

But Xiao Zhan spoke solemnly, "It’s too late now; they’re already here."

As his voice faded, the bodyguards saw numerous black Ghost Snakes appearing on the seawall, writhing and twisting in such numbers that it made one’s scalp tingle.

"Step back, everyone."

Xiao Zhan immediately took action; death-infused aura erupted, radiating outward in a circular pattern from him toward the encircling Ghost Snakes.

The Ghost Snakes, facing the death aura, had no ability to resist and were engulfed by it.

However, the shielding effect of the death aura seemed to be useless against these snakes; within it, they could still clearly locate Xiao Zhan and the others and rapidly launched an assault.

They were fast, and from dozens of meters away, they sprung forward like arrows and were soon right in front of Xiao Zhan and the others.

Several bodyguards, as if facing a formidable enemy, all raised their Artifact Spirits, ready to fight a desperate battle.

But they were no match for the onslaught of the Third Grade Demon Beast.

However, just at this critical moment, the death aura released by Xiao Zhan suddenly erupted into flames with a boom.

Like gas meeting an open flame, it ignited instantly.

The death aura transformed into fire, and the dark surroundings were instantly lit up in red.

And those Ghost Snakes enveloped by the death aura were immediately scorched by the raging inferno.

The bodies of the Ghost Snakes twisted violently, and within just one to two seconds under the intense heat of the flame, they were roasted into pieces of jerky.

In less than a few seconds, the jerky turned into charred remains, then into gray powder.

Ting-a-ling~

The Demon Beast Crystal Cores rolled on the ground.

Nearly a hundred Crystal Cores scattered everywhere, looking like stars on the ground, incredibly beautiful.

The danger eliminated; the bodyguard captain’s tense body gradually relaxed, and looking at the bone ash of the demon beasts scattered all over the ground, he couldn’t help feeling dry-mouthed.

He knew Xiao Zhan and her were strong, but he hadn’t expected them to be this strong – facing hundreds of Third Grade Demon Beasts, and resolving the situation in less than half a minute.

Completely eradicated, not even leaving behind corpses.

This terrifying lethality was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

"Mr. Xiao, to be on the safe side, let’s get back quickly," urged the bodyguard captain to Xiao Zhan.

Demon beasts not native to this area were showing up, which was odd, and he needed to report this.

"Alright."

Xiao Zhan did not refuse.

Encountering such an incident, the mood for sightseeing had also dissipated.

He picked up the Demon Beast Crystal Cores from the ground, then quickly followed the bodyguard team leader back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel.

The bodyguard team leader immediately went to report the incident.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their room, where he took out the Ghost Snake Demon Beast Crystal Cores he just collected and began to observe them carefully.

"Do you feel there’s something strange about the aura emanating from these Ghost Snakes?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Ye Youlong replied, "Indeed, it doesn’t seem quite the same as normal Ghost Snakes."

Ye Youlong picked up a Crystal Core and released her Perception to feel it in detail.

After a moment, she continued, "The Demon Beast Crystal Core is the core energy of a Demon Beast, not only providing them strength but also influencing their behavior. These Demon Beast Crystal Cores contain a trace of evil aura; they must have been influenced by something."

Xiao Zhan said, "This trace of evil aura is very similar to the one we encountered in that Demon Beast similar to the Flame Shadow Wolf."

With this remark, both of them fell silent.

The locations of the two types of Demon Beast were so far apart, yet their auras were the same – could there be a coincidence?

Or some secret unknown to everyone?

Xiao Zhan thought hard, trying to connect the dots in his mind, but despite thinking for quite a while, he could not clear up any clues.

However, if there really were any secrets, they could only be related to the Lizard Federation.

After all, this was the Lizard Federation’s territory.

But this was just his speculation, without any solid evidence. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Ugh, kind of a headache.

"Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. As you said, don’t borrow trouble from the future," Ye Youlong consoled him.

The words she had just expressed came full circle at this moment.

Xiao Zhan smiled wryly, casting aside the thoughts in his head.

Ye Youlong was right; why think so much about it? It would be useless to worry, and at this moment, it would be more comfortable to enjoy his wife’s fragrance.

Enchanting music.

Rise!

...

The next day.

The Federation returned to the base.

"Did you encounter a Demon Beast attack last night?" Qin Wanfeng asked on the way.

He had received the news from the Lizard Federation the night before and had wanted to ask but, considering it was already late and Xiao Zhan and the others were alright, he didn’t disturb them.

"Yes, Third Grade Demon Beast Ghost Snakes," Xiao Zhan responded.

"Were you hurt?"

"Just a group of Third Grade Demon Beasts, they couldn’t hurt me," Xiao Zhan said.

"That’s good."

Qin Wanfeng nodded.

Then he slightly bowed his head, as if pondering something.

Soon.

Everyone arrived at the base.

The contents of the competition would not be known until the afternoon, so with nothing to do in the morning, Xiao Zhan and the others returned to their own rooms.

After returning to his room, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong began to cultivate the Taiyin Hand skill.

This was a good skill, with no pre-casting motions and substantial power; it was worth learning.
