The Ascension of Contracted Spirits
Chapter 153 - 122: GuaGua Who Likes Archery_3
The Corrosive Snail beside it, which was of a lower rank, would normally choose to retreat into its shell under these circumstances, not daring to show its head whatsoever.
But at this precise moment, it actually got angry, initiating a roll to collide directly into the Big-mouthed Centipede, which retaliated by swiping its tail fiercely, sending the snail flying.
Chaos erupted instantaneously!
One after another, Insect fond spirits were lured here, and, either obstructed by the insect net or breaking the encirclement, ended up brawling with other insect fond spirits.
Li Jingming, who was carefully lurking, felt his neck go slightly stiff.
After repeatedly confirming several times, he turned to the side, unable to hide the odd expression on his handsome cheek, and said in a low voice:
"Master Han, since it was my first attempt, I didn’t dare to administer the maximum dose of Sweet Slime. I only used half."
"But this effect seems to be much... stronger than expected!"
"Does the ability have a flow effect?" Ye Hanjun asked.
"Yes!" Li Jingming affirmed, "It’s much more than when hunting the Long Spear Spider. I have never experienced such a ferocious growth rate!"
"Seems like fortune favors us, even serving us an unexpected surprise."
Ye Hanjun revealed a smirk, expressing his approval:
"Wang Xinfei’s ability, although it can reach C."
"But ’Crashing Mountain Momentum’ and ’Ejection Shield’ are rather scattered abilities, which would make her combat abilities lean towards a more comprehensive field."
"You are different, you are now a Superior Level Bug Catcher, rank D."
"But you only grow one active ability, which makes the overall effect extremely focused."
"’Sweet Slime’ + ’Weaving Insect Net’, as expected, your ability growth rate hereafter will far exceed that of same-period rookie patrons."
"Perhaps, you can catch up with Su Mei and Wang Xinfei’s progress in a shorter time, advance into the second rank much faster than previously anticipated."
"That’s good news."
Li Jingming revealed a smile, the kind of clean, pure smile characteristic of a young boy.
In a while, he asked for advice again:
"Master Han, the Sweet Slime is about to fail."
"Once it does, the insect fond spirits will gradually regain their rational state. There are so many insects now, injured or crippled, should we move in for a harvest?"
"You and Su Mei can go, I will cover for you," Ye Hanjun nodded.
Before entering the Yellow Mud Swamp, he released the horses and cows into a relatively safer area.
If they could find them when they leave, that would be great. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
If they accidentally died, then no harm done.
Since stepping into the swamp, Ye Hanjun has not yet summoned Huazhu, always maintaining his unencumbered state, using his Super Spirituality as the team’s eyes.
"Yiye..."
Inside the water bottle, the little tadpole made a calling sound, seemingly sensing the excitement outside, wanting to peek at the situation.
Upon a thought, Ye Hanjun opened the bottle cap, letting the bubble-blowing little tadpole hover beside him.
"Yiye!"●)o(●
GuaGua was stunned.
Silt, mud, clay... these things, which humans perceive as murky and dirty, are naturally just part of their ecology for the Pure Fond Spirits. They consider it "pure," they won’t find it disgusting.
But - GuaGua has never seen so many peculiar creatures huddled together before!
Blood-sucking mosquitoes, grass moths, stinky flies... numerous winged insects were stuck to the insect net, the powerful ones managed to break free, and the less powerful ones were at their mercy.
"Pupupu!!"
With a wag of its tail, GuaGua, with its head lifted up, saw something red trying to fly over its head.
Without much hesitation, a string of Water Connect Bullets was fired, amazingly all hitting the blood-sucking mosquito.
This was a Clay-based Illusion blood-sucking mosquito that, after getting hit, buzzed dizzily, lost control of its wings, and plunged into the mud.
And its thin wings, soaked in mud.
Usually implies that it will be trapped in the swamp and starve to death due to no blood intake.
"Yiye!!"
GuaGua tilted its head, recalling its target shooting experience in its tiny brain.
Then, upon seeing more things flying around, GuaGua burst a bubble, released a string of Water Connect Bullets, and before it fell into the mud itself, blew a bubble to float up, then released another string of Water Connect Bullets.
The Clay Body small achievement Pure White Tadpole’s skill, ’Water Connect Bullet’ corresponding Chaos Spirit Pattern... only has 36 patterns.
Yet Ye Hanjun’s eyes twitched, conceding admiration.
The little guy has already mastered this skill to perfection, every instinctive aim at the insects in flight is at their weakness.
Usually the head.
If it sees one with a particularly large head and a relatively small body, it doesn’t aim for the head, just the belly.
Occasionally, it would aim for the wings. Whether breaking or piercing through, losing the ability to fly usually meant imminent death.
In no time, Ye Hanjun’s nearby mud-filled area was littered with insects on the brink of death.
Though, there are a few of larger size or higher rank that GuaGua can’t bring down.
But the more GuaGua played, the happier it was, performing acrobatically, blowing a bubble then Water Connect Bullet, blowing a bubble then Water Connect Bullet, constantly switching skills without feeling fatigued.
"You..."
"...you don’t happen to have the energetic trait, do you?"
Ye Hanjun could not help but ask, as it had been more than once, that out-of-control insects hit his clothes, leaving all kinds of slime.
Even considering the high grade material of this windbreaker, which would be clean with just a rinse, he still felt itchiness all over.
"Yiye~~~"
