Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 271: Flowing Clouds and Rain, Brilliant Heavenly Might

“Teacher!”

Old Mr. Qian pressed down the student who wanted to speak and looked at the woman who appeared to be the leader of the Poker Bandits.

Su Hao was also looking, but not at the woman’s charming face and alluring figure. What he was observing were the extraordinary-level Fairy Snail and the mighty Golden-Armored Overlord halfway up the mountain.

“Unfortunately, the mid-mountain is too far away from me. I can’t see the specific data outside the range of the interface map.”

However, with the Dazed Crow’s vision and his vast knowledge and rich experience, Su Hao could roughly determine the strength of the Golden Armor Overlord.

In conclusion, that enemy looked like someone he could take on.

“Well, it’s also a question as to who should fight… Butterfly probably doesn’t care much, so I’ll send out Dazed Crow and Dumb Unicorn first.”

Su Hao wasn’t underestimating his enemy. It was precisely because he was cautious that he held back a few moves, in case the Poker Bandits was hiding other powerful sprites.

After thinking of the plan and checking that there were no mistakes, he stepped forward.

“Old Mr. Qian, you don’t have to do this. Since I’ve accepted the mission to protect the research team, I have to repel all threats.”

He added, “Besides, since the Poker Bandits are wanted criminals, how can we trust their words? I’ll stop them. Old Qian, you should leave from the other direction.”

The crowd was reassured by the fact that his voice sounded so fearless and fearless despite being in the face of death.

His back view also looked so tall and imposing.

Instantly, everyone started crying.

It also attracted the attention of the Poker Bandits in an instant as they looked at him with jealousy.

Especially since the Dumb Unicorn had already come on a cloud and landed in front under his command… It naturally attracted the charming woman’s attention.

“Extraordinary-level? A Kirin?”

“It looks like it could fetch a high price.”

The charming woman’s interest was immediately piqued. Her attention shifted to the Dumb Unicorn. “Go, take it down.”

She then looked at the other three underlings. “You guys, go and get me that old man.”

The mouth of the Fairy Snail spewed out endless water, turning into blue blades that flew out.

Wherever the sharp blades passed, a misty white mist was brought up. It was bone-chilling coldness, making water droplets condense in the air.

The energy contained in just one hit was already much stronger than the defeated elite-level sprites just now.

Dumb Unicorn also erupted.

In an instant, the blue smoke clouds surrounding it turned into threads and clashed with the dozens of blades flying over.

“Mere threads…”

The woman with the code name Red Spade Q shook her head slightly, but the next moment…

Crack~!

The tiny threads cut through the water blades cast by the Fairy Snail, and didn’t lose any momentum. They swept towards the elite-level sprites who wanted to chase after the escaping crowd, sweeping out a deep line on the ground.

With the Dumb Unicorn and Su Hao holding down the fort, those that dare to cross the line shall be killed!

The few underlings of the Poker Bandits were really scared. After all, they were just underlings.

Especially when the unfamiliar sprite opposite them seemed a little too strong.

Red Spade Q also made a sound of surprise. Her charming face started to become serious. “They won’t be able to escape far anyway. In that case… Multiple Water Blades!”

In front of the Fairy Snail, another water blade appeared. It didn’t shoot out, but stuck together one by one, forming a cone-shaped weapon.

Wisps of dark blue light dissipated around the weapon.

It was a secret technique!

Seeing the killer move with extraordinary power, Su Hao judged that even with the “Extreme Water” characteristic, the Dumb Unicorn would have a hard time handling it.

He immediately ordered, “Great Glazed Water Arrow!”

aThe countless mist that was already drifting in front of Dumb Unicorn instantly gathered, turning into… a huge arrow two to three meters long, or rather, a crossbow bolt.

The bolt buzzed, and even the air seemed to be trembling.

It collided with the cone-shaped weapon that was flying over and directly pierced through with a whoosh. Countless blue fragments flew out, and the glazed arrow that looked like it was made of crystal continued to fly forward, piercing through the Fairy Snail’s front defense. Only then did the twelve water shields begin to lose their power as it dissipated in the air.

“How is this possible?”

The charming lady wasn’t the only one who was curious.

Old Mr. Qian and the other elite Sprite Trainers who had looked back out of worry almost dropped their jaws when they saw what had happened.

As everyone knew, unique skills had specifications!

Especially for water arrows, where bigger did not mean better. Compact but densely packed arrows often proved to be superior.

The high-level usage of water arrows was to fire thousands of them at the same time.

However…

In their eyes, the power of the huge water arrow… was really just like its size, enlarged countless times, allowing it to overpower a sprite that had just broken through to extraordinary-level in a head-on collision!

“That’s the power of the enhancement of the bloodline. The stability of the unique skill can be increased by a few levels.”

Su Hao observed, analyzed, compared, and collected data.

At this moment, the Dumb Unicorn and the Fairy Snail were engaged in a “evenly matched” battle.

The unique skill of the Dumb Unicorn was powerful, but the Fairy Snail wasn’t bad either, especially since it had a lot of water—its backpack-sized shell contained an unknown amount of water. Compared to the Dumb Unicorn which still needed to gather water vapor, the Fairy Snail naturally had an advantage.

The speed at which it used its unique skill was much faster.

The overall battle between the two parties could be summarized as…

First round: Water Blade, Water Blade, Water Blade… x13; Great Glazed Water Arrow!

The second round: Water Dragon Roll, Water Pattern Shock, Bubbles Defense × 10, Water Dragon’s Roar!

The third round: Heavy Water Bomb x 10, splashing water turned into sharp arrows, mist turning into a cloud, which then turns into a shield!

Boom~!

Rumble!!!

The two sprites continued to exchange blows.

The water-element unique skill used wasn’t earth-shattering, but could still blast holes out of the ground nonetheless. Cracks were slashed out, soil and rocks were blasted away, water mist scattered… Once again, the charming woman raised her opinion of the unknown sprite.

It was rare to meet sprites who were evenly matched, let alone a water-element sprite!

Su Hao also shared her thoughts.

How lucky it was for the Dumb Unicorn to face an experienced Fairy Snail right after breaking through. The opportunity for it to gain experience had arrived just in time.

Dumb Unicorn’s usage and control of the unique skill were improving visibly.

However, the charming woman didn’t want her sprite to continue being an “experience bag” for Dumb Unicorn. She ordered, “Heavy Water Blade!”

In an instant, the blades that appeared in front of the Fairy Snail were no longer the regular shade of blue, but dark blue. The power of the cone-shaped weapon formed by the combination increased exponentially, directly breaking past the two water dragons lingering around Dumb Unicorn.

Heavy water!

It wasn’t like Dumb Unicorn’s Extreme Water, which was a passive characteristic that allowed every move it made to be filled with extreme water.

The heavy water of the Fairy Snail was a secret technique. When the two skills were used together, it became a high-level secret technique. In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. Dumb Unicorn retreated step by step. When the heavy water blade slashed across, even a few scales dropped.

“If this continues, it’ll be a one-sided beating.”

“In the wild, I can’t just focus on letting the sprite gain experience till the very end. At the very least, I can’t let Dumb Unicorn get injured again.”

“Use that move.” Su Han commanded.

The Dumb Unicorn that had been forced to the side of the lake suddenly stepped with its hooves. It surged forward as it rose with the water that it had pulled out from behind.

“It’s useless!”

Even the Water Dragon’s Roar and the Great Glazed Water Arrow weren’t enough to stop it, let alone the mere water wave that could be easily broken by the heavy water blade.

But what the charming woman didn’t notice was that countless water droplets that were flying into the sky against gravity gradually gathered together as it began to form a cloud.

The dark cloud started to cover the sky as heavy rain poured down.

These raindrops were free for either of them to control.

dumb unicorn could use it, but so could the Fairy Snail.

However, before the Fairy Snail could make use of the venue advantage, a huge beast shadow had been condensed under the dark clouds and pouring rain.

Dragon head, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horse hooves… It was like a water qilin that was enlarged countless times and formed by water streams. It descended from the sky, made a pounce motion, and stomped down on the Fairy Snail below!

It wasn’t fast, but it carried a brilliant heavenly might.

It was as though time had stopped and water droplets hung in the air. Under the dark clouds, only the huge aqua-blue body could be seen as it pressed down inch by inch!

The Fairy Snail in the middle of all this was in a difficult position to escape. It kept spraying out water streams, covering itself with layers of protection.

Bang!!!

“Cloud Rain Water Qilin” stomped down, broke through layer after layer of shields effortlessly, and directly landing its hoof on the Fairy Snail.

Instantly…

The Fairy Snail hanging at a low altitude and carried by the water stream was pressed down forcefully. The huge hoof continued to press down, and countless cracks appeared on the ground around the hoof. Finally, it collapsed with a boom.

Rain poured down.

The huge water qilin’s figure turned into rainwater and dissipated. The dark clouds that had covered more than half of the sky also dissipated in an instant.

Sunlight shone on the ground again. The surrounding pits were filled with water. In the huge pit in the middle, one could vaguely see the shell of the Fairy Snail.

It had been buried in gravel.

The charming woman was still in shock. Her mind was filled with the terrifying scene of the glorious heavenly might just now.

She was astonished by the fact that a young Sprite Trainer whose body had not even developed fully and his extraordinary-level sprite had actually triggered a large-scale meteorological phenomenon!

Too strong!

The other bandits had long been scared silly. They hid in the distance with their sprites, behind trees or rocks, only revealing their heads, their whole bodies trembling.

Until…

“Boss!”

A curly-haired man in a black suit rode a flying sprite to the top of the mountain.

When they saw the handsome man, be it a charming woman or the other underlings, they all regained their confidence.

They hadn’t lost yet!
