Start With Contracting Sprites Novel - Chapter 129
Chapter 129: Raging Flames
Bang!
“Howl—”
“Gurgle (hit it)!”
“Squawk (okay)!”
By the woods.
The Ground Wolf looked miserable. There were already many wounds on its body.
After the young man surnamed Deng was attacked by the Flaming Cloud Crow, he didn’t dare to be arrogant anymore.
After rolling on the ground a few times, he ran into the woods and hid himself.
He hid in the bushes and looked at the battle scene in the distance, smacking his lips silently.
“Too damn strong!”
“Are all the candidates so sick these days!?”
As a member of the surprise attack team, even though Deng Zhi did not bother too much about the candidates’ sprites… he had looked through their information before after all!
All the sprites of the candidates were entry-level!
Reverie Butterfly was the entry-level limit, and there was the word “strengthened” at the back.
This meant that either the sprites themselves were extremely talented.
Or that they had undergone special training, or swallowed special treasures.
As for Flaming Cloud Crow, the information recorded was advanced entry-level.
“What kind of advanced entry-level is this!”
“How exactly was the information detailed!?”
Deng Zhi cursed in his heart.
He couldn’t tell anything else.
But that eye-catching Flaming Feather Gown was undoubtedly special indeed.
How did he train it to do so?
What a monster-like candidate!
He wanted to retreat.
After all, if he continued to stay here, he might be the one getting beaten to death.
At this moment.
The communicator he was wearing rang.
It was his teammate’s voice.
“Xiao Deng, the mission continues.”
“I’ve already asked for instruction from the higher-ups. We’ll take action together to test the standard of the candidate, Su Hao.”
…
“The Flaming Cloud Crow’s Flaming Feather Form can be maintained for five minutes at the moment. After five minutes, it needs to rest for at least a minute before it can be used again… The duration it can be maintained will be shorter.”
In his eyes.
The Ground Wolf was stronger than wild sprites like the Mountain Moving Ape.
The unique skills that it had mastered included advanced unique skills such as Gravity, Healing of the Earth, and Sand Blast.
Gravity had a lot of restrictions on the two sprites, and was somewhat effective against them.
Healing of the Earth allowed the Ground Wolf to constantly absorb the power of the earth every time it stepped on the ground to recover from its injuries… which was how it was able to last so long.
And the Sand Blast…
The Ground Wolf gathered the gravel in the sandstorm and blasted them like grenades.
It was a unique skill with strong destructive power.
But it couldn’t last more than five minutes.
When the two sprites worked together, it was far better than fighting alone.
Amidst the flying sandstorm,
Su Hao rode the Water Unicorn Beast, with a bubble defense outside to isolate them from the sand.
He couldn’t see the battle scene.
But he calmed his mind and focused, transmitting the weaknesses of the Ground Wolf to the two sprites.
And as the Ground Wolf was injured, its weaknesses gradually increased.
At this moment.
Su Hao, who had been observing the map on the interface, discovered that something was wrong.
“Sprites who dare to approach in such a battle…”
The closest sprite icon was a Tyrant Bear.
He opened it.
“As expected, it’s a sprite with an owner.”
“I knew it, the assessment can’t be that simple.”
Su Hao rubbed his head.
He had already guessed that the two sprites were here for him.
After all…
The wild sprites cast on the island posed no threat to him.
It changed the experience of the isolated island assessment.
It was reasonable to increase its difficulty.
He felt that he was being targeted… Of course, he didn’t consider escaping as an option.
What if he got points deducted from escaping?
He shall resent while he could!
“This is a little troublesome.”
Tyrant Bear approached.
The double gravity field overlapped, making both Reverie Butterfly and Flaming Cloud Crow feel much heavier for a moment.
“Gurgle~”
It hated this feeling!
“Squawk?” Flaming Cloud Crow tilted its head and asked.
It was asking how to fight.
Reverie Butterfly thought for a few seconds and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Wasn’t it Su Hao’s responsibility to consider battle tactics?
It pouted.
As it dodged, it called out in his heart.
Su Hao, Su Hao, calling out to Su Hao ~!
The power of the contract could allow sprites to communicate telepathically with Sprite Trainers.
The closer they got.
The better the signal.
Su Hao received the call.
He looked at the sandstorm in front of him that had covered the sky.
“I can only use that move.”
…
At the core area of the island, about a few kilometers away from Su Hao.
Boom!
A purple lightning bolt fell, accurately hitting a Giant Cannon Lobster.
Purple thunder arcs bounced on the wounded Giant Cannon Lobster’s body, making it almost powerless to move despite already being injured.
At this moment.
A sprite with a back as sharp as an unsheathed sword stepped forward with its thick and strong limbs, and aggressively pounced onto the Giant Cannon Lobster.
It flew straight through air and smashed onto a low-rise building, causing the whole house to collapse.
The Giant Cannon Lobster collapsed completely and couldn’t get up anymore.
Feng Liangcai then heaved a sigh of relief.
“As expected of an elite-level sprite. As long as there’s a single mistake in the battle strategy, the best result can only be a narrow victory. Then the gains won’t make up for the losses, but now…”
One of his two sprites was the Lightning-Winged Dragon, the entry-level limit.
The other, the Swordback Dragon, was inferior in comparison.
Even if the teamwork was perfect and the tactics were well thought-out, defeating an elite level was still very difficult.
Feng Liang felt proud after having won eventually.
He thought of his other two strong opponents.
“Compared to them, my score should be in the lead, right?”
…
At another place.
Boom!
The Back Tower Dragon swayed. It had just been hit by the Fiery Blaze Bull, and the side of the back tower was already charred black.
At this moment.
The Gargoyle hovering in the air suddenly flew down, its sharp claws tearing through the air as it grabbed at the Fiery Blaze Bull that had just displayed “Charging”.
“Moo…”
Flames spewed out of the Fiery Blaze Bull’s nostrils, sweeping out like a windstorm.
However, the Gargoyle continued to resist the flames with its sharp claws.
A few minutes later.
The Fiery Blaze Bull fell, but the Back Tower dragon and the Gargoyle were also covered in wounds.
Yu Jiang ran out from behind the big rock he was hiding behind. He rushed speedily to his two sprites and checked their injuries.
“My injuries are too serious, it’s hard to hunt wild sprites later on.”
His face immediately turned bitter.
After finding the badge on the Fiery Blaze Bull, he didn’t dare to stay any longer and wanted to leave.
Suddenly,
The Gargoyle let out a low growl.
Yu Jiang looked up.
In the distance.
Flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the sky red.
…
At the same time…
At various places in the center of the island, candidates raised their heads one by one, looking at the firestorm that rushed into the sky, their mouths agape.
Many members of the surprise attack team who were chasing the candidates also stopped in their tracks.
They all pondered.
“Are any of our sprites fire-element?”
“No, who could create such a big commotion?”
“No, I have to go and take a look!”
Everyone started riding on their sprites and rushed to the scene of the fire.
…
At this moment…
At the center of the battlefield.
The Flaming Cloud Crow under the Flaming Feather Form continuously threw out flames. With the help of the existing sandstorm and Reverie Butterfly creating wind, it managed to scatter a large amount of Wood-element spiritual force.
The surrounding trees had been blown down by the wind.
Wood made fire.
The wind helped make the fire grow bigger.
The environment was dry.
At one o’clock.
In an instant, the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
With the gushes of strong wind, a firestorm was created, and it was spreading continously.
Amidst the raging flames, the Flaming Cloud Crow’s Flaming Feathers became brighter and brighter. Its Flaming Feathers extended continuously, like flaming blades that had reached an extreme temperature!
“Squawk…”
It let out a loud cry.
Its figure split into three.
It drew a striking red line in the sea of fire.
