The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 171 - 127: GuaGua Levels Up, Mechanism Water Gun! (6200 words) _1

"Success..."

A hint of relief appeared on Ye Hanjun’s face.

There have been experiments that show that with the use of the Stiff Mushroom, the chance of the Ghost-Faced Moth activating hidden bloodline skills is only about 30 percent.

In other words, out of every ten Ghost-Faced Moths, only the three healthiest and most superior ones could become stronger, given the correct medium.

’Mental Poison Sting’ - this is a formidable spiritual attack skill!

Once mastered, the two antennae of the Ghost-Faced Moth would suddenly come together, enabling it to shoot a poisonous energy sting over a dozen meters away.

This sting does not need to penetrate flesh and blood; it just needs to hit the head of the prey, and it would erode the opponent’s brain like a virus.

Subsequently, the brain would send out incorrect instructions, leading to the entire body either becoming stiff or twitching, causing the overall combat ability to plummet significantly within a short period.

"Is it that powerful?"

Su Mei’s eyes sparkled:

"The ’Scare Powder’ is disadvantaged when encountering creatures with scales or thick hair."

"This ’Mental Poison Sting’ attacks the soul directly – it’s really hard to foresee and defend against."

"And it’s a 90-symbol skill... its strength is remarkably high!"

"Possessing this skill, Li is now qualified to battle above his level, and possibly achieve victory against some clay body perfection creatures, right?"

Ye Hanjun responded with a silent smile.

Su Mei’s judgment was completely correct, for a Mud-cast fetus a direct spiritual attack is really hard to counter.

Especially the stupid wild beasts of the Savage Fond Spirits. These physically strong beings were generally weak in spirit.

If subjected to the ’Mental Poison Sting’, the damages they suffered were even more severe, and they would descend into fear and confusion for a longer and deeper time.

"Shiver shiver shiver..."

The Ghost-Faced Moth could understand some human language, and was astonished when it woke up.

It randomly caught a wild beast of the same level nearby and triggered the newly learned ’Mental Poison Sting’.

In an instant, the wild beast had foam at its mouth and fell to the ground as though it had an epileptic seizure.

It only barely recovered after waiting patiently for thirty seconds. When it looked at the Ghost-Faced Moth, it was horrified and tried desperately to break free from the insect net.

"The speed of the ’Mental Poison Sting’ is not fast enough, its effective range is not far enough, and it uses significant energy - these are its disadvantages."

"However, its advantages are too strong. It can almost be the key factor in determining victory or turning the tide..."

Li Jingming, with folded arms, pondered. All kinds of tactics were emerging in his head.

He kept deconstructing and organizing them, analyzing the most reasonable combination.

He then discovered that, with this one skill alone, the Ghost-Faced Moth’s overall combat ability has been enhanced by at least 1.5 times. It’s now considered one of the best among equals.

"Muddy muddy..."

The Mud Blade Mantis, which was still tied up but had long given up struggling, stared at the Ghost-Faced Moth with its clear compound eyes.

The lower-ranking insect, which it hadn’t paid much attention to before, now seemed... somewhat dangerous!

This kind of distinct strange sensation was a rare experience in its insect life.

"Lalalala! I am the little flower girl!"

"La la la, la la la! One flower, two flowers! For the wife, for the mother! ..."

The tuneful and melodious song suddenly resounded from afar in the muddy swamp.

As the song echoed, the crows on the trees panicked and flew away, the sleeping mud rabbits awakened in astonishment, and the fighting Tiger Leopards abruptly ceased their duel.

Ye Hanjun moved his ears, and his calm face suddenly took on a seriousness:

"Retreat! Let’s leave here immediately!"

"This is a ’Ghost Flower Girl’. Such a ethereal voice suggests that she must be at the Rainbow Light Perfection stage, just one step away from Ascending Evolution!"

Upon hearing this, both Su Mei and Li Jingming quivered, as childhood memories resurfaced.

The Ghost Flower Girl was a being often mentioned in fairy tales, and was very famous.

Especially that well-known "Flower Selling Song". It was said that everyone could hum the tune when they heard the melody.

However, the beautiful ghost flower girl from the fairy tales, when she manifested in real life, often represented terror.

In reality, those who could hear a whole song, if they couldn’t kill the Ghost Flower Girl, would most likely be haunted by her.

The "flowers" she sold in her song, the "Ghost Roses", were all made from human or intelligent fond spirit souls!

The price of buying a flower - was one’s own life!

How could such a merciless ghost fond spirit appear in the Yellow Mud Swamp?!

"Judging by the sound, it should be a wandering wild fond spirit. The possibility of it having a patron is very low."

"The Rainbow Light Perfection is tolerable. Although powerful, she can only be active at night. As long as we hear her singing and move away in time, we won’t be in much danger."

Ye Hanjun multi-tasked, escaping while teaching his two disciples.

He had a profound impression of the Ghost Flower Girl mainly because of an older half-sister of his. She was considered a particularly talented individual in their family for many years.

During her trial in the night, she contracted with the Ghost Flower Girl and then evolved into the Cradle Princess.

One could still escape after hearing the "Flower Selling Song".

When the "Lullaby" was heard, a total silence would occupy a ten-mile radius. All you would see were faces of peaceful sleep even if a knife was thrust into one’s forehead, lower-class fond spirits would find it hard to regain consciousness.

With such a fond spirit and sufficiently ruthless character,

This half-sister of his, Ye Lingwu, successfully passed the trial of the night with a high evaluation, truly earning the surname "Ye" for herself.

...

After escaping from the hunting ground of the Ghost Flower Girl, they found a place to rest in the latter half of the night.
