The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 298 - 160: Mercenary Group that Steals Fire_1

Blue Eel Town, underground mine, second area.

In a day, the space around the Fire Elephant Tree has expanded by several tens of times.

Looking at the semi-circular pits on the wall and the large areas of scorched and charred areas, it’s not hard to guess.

It must have been the Flame Child who was furious, killing wave after wave of intruders, that lead to the current scene.

"Woof!"

A leopard dashes out, as light as a swallow, extremely urgent.

It has white fur, yellow spots. When it raises its head and roars, its body emits a piercing golden light, like a sun suddenly rising.

"Meow!"

"Honk!"

Fond spirits are roaring in a frenzy, and the closest ones are forced to halt their battles.

They retreat in alarm, some close their eyes, completely unable to open them;

Some find their vision blurred, continuously shedding tears, forcing their eyes open, yet still unable to recognize the direction;

"A Flashing Leopard... There are people cultivating such flashy fond spirits too? Damn...

"Damn! The patron of this beast must be a cunning character, the first thing he does is use the signature skill ’Blind Everyone’!"

"Brothers, take it down! This creature is too disgusting! It must not be spared!"

There are various forces gathered around the Fire Elephant Tree.

The most numerous ones are, naturally, the law enforcers.

However, the severe injuries and death of several patrollers have shattered the situation that should’ve been stable.

The law enforcers who rushed in afterwards are scattered, doing their utmost to fight against the intruders.

The appearance of the Flashing Leopard... provokes public anger!

This light-element type demon’s Fond Spirit is not good at melee and is relatively frail.

But in any battle it’s involved in, it always stirs things up. Unless it’s torn to shreds, everyone’s vision would be affected.

"Brr-Brr-Brr——"

In the chaos, a Ghost-Faced Moth flying with closed eyes sprinkles dust on several patrollers who are being protected.

That is the "Scare Powder", pushed by the "Wild Wind", it instantly falls on them.

"Psychic poison powder! Be careful everyone!"

"It’s above us! Jie, go take it down!"

Chen Mai holds up a shield, his face looks uncomfortable.

His body is undamaged.

But due to his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit - the Cave Frog, being heavily injured and unconscious, he, as the patron, has virtually no fighting power left.

The only thing he could do is mobilize troops, deploy forces, and try his best to repel the enemy.

"Yes!"

A knight who owns a flying spirit quickly heads towards them.

The Ghost-Faced Moth flutters its wings, circles halfway round, and starts playing catch up in mid-air.

On the other side, the Flashing Leopard finishes casting its "Blind Everyone" skill, up to 266 marks, and enters the cooling period.

It begins to flee, nimbly running around the Fire Elephant Tree and occasionally spits out orbs of light, repeatedly attracting other people’s attention.

"Boom!!!"

A giant python emerges from the earth, Chen Mai rolls to the side, and takes off running.

But Lu Wu beside him is not so lucky. Already struggling to get up, he is suddenly sent flying by the python’s tail.

Under the gaze of everyone, he draws a beautiful parabola in the air, lands on his buttocks, rolls his eyes, and as a mouthful of blood gushes out, he completely passes out.

"Liyou! Take Lu Wu and get out of here!"

"He has already lost his ability to fight. If he continues to stay here, not only will he be a burden, he may die at any time!"

Chen Mai shouts at the top of his lungs, and a Wind Leopard rushes over.

Sitting on it, Lin Liyou struggles to pick up the robust Lu Wu. The two men and a leopard escape through a tunnel.

"That’s not a python! That’s a Big Serpent Vine! Retreat from its attack range quickly! Quick!!"

A soldier, fully armed in armor, doesn’t finish speaking before a vine whip smashes into his waist.

His armor looks quite thick, but it couldn’t fend off a single blow.

A severe dent appears, his body lurches forward hundreds of steps, nearly falling face-first to the ground.

"This is indeed a well-grown tree, very spirited~~~"

A little girl appears in the center, where the Big Serpent Vine is patrolling.

Correspondingly, she is also standing next to the Fire Elephant Tree.

She reaches out and, unafraid of getting burnt, touches the trunk of the Fire Elephant Tree. A fond smile appears on her face.

"Be good, come with me!"

"Although I will dig out your tree heart, I will keep your roots. In my lifetime, I will work hard to make you fat and strong!"

"Whoosh!"

The Big Serpent Vine strikes, sending a big hedgehog that pounced in its direction flying.

An enormous bird begins to dive down, without any hesitation, the Big Serpent Vine forms a circle around its owner like a chain, creating a circular protective ring.

"Bang bang bang!"

The big bird couldn’t break through, upon retreating, it almost gets caught by the vine whip.

This scares the it, and it hovers in mid-air, not daring to attack rashly.

"Big Serpent Vine of Rainbow Light Great Completion! Brothers, we can’t let her succeed! We must focus our fire!"

Mao Maochong shouts loudly, trying to inspire his teammates’ momentum.

But the Peat Deer in front of him suddenly trembles, turns its body, and in its eyes a bunch of flickering flames are reflected.

"Hmm?"

Mao Maochong turns around quickly.

Without getting a clear look at what’s behind him, his jade talisman shatters, and his body uncontrollably flies out.

"The petals of the Fire Elephant Tree are already in your hands, Blue Eel Town. I can’t compete with you, so I won’t try."

"But for this Fire Elephant Tree’s body, whoever dares to block my way... don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

An ice-cold voice, like a grim, echoes throughout the chaotic space.
