Chapter 325: Devouring and Counter-Devouring (4k)
Looking at Jiang Yan, who seemed to be stunned and unaware of his own crisis, Mitt was already ready in his heart to listen to the other party's screams.
Of course, in fact nothing.
I saw that when the little black wolf had just struck Jiang Yan's back from behind, and a pair of cold and shining sharp front paws were only half a meter away from Jiang Yan's heart, there was a sudden pop, as if it had hit something, and the entire wolf body suddenly dropped in speed.
The little black wolf was like a small insect that had crashed into a transparent spider web, and was directly stuck in the air by some invisible restraint.
"What's going on?!" Mitt stared at the little black wolf stuck in the invisible web with wide eyes, and was surprised, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find out what the little black wolf was sticking to.
Then, he saw Jiang Yan turn around very calmly, and aimed the water bullet gun in his hand at the little black wolf like a live target in front of him.
Mitt hurriedly reminded in a panic: "Danger, Pat!!"
"Whewββ!!"
The little black wolf flicked its claws anxiously, and then heard a sound of 'slap!' in the air, as if a rope had been torn.
But at this time, Jiang Yan had already pulled the trigger of the small white pistol and hit it with a bang.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only half a meter, and the little black wolf had just broken free, and it was too late to break out of the proud speed to dodge.
In desperation, the little black wolf could only make the move of abandoning the car to protect the commander, and slammed a forefoot with a faint layer of light green aura at the incoming water bomb.
With a snap, the water bomb was directly shot away, turning into a handful of splashes away from the little black wolf.
However, I don't know if this beast did it on purpose, the corrosive water bomb that was shot by it actually scattered and rebounded back in Jiang Yan's direction impartially, turning into even finer and finer water droplets and shooting back.
"Well done!!" Mitt couldn't help but applaud as he watched his elf's witty counterattack.
Jiang Yan was not afraid, looking at the corrosive water droplets scattered back without hiding at all, he saw that those water droplets popped and stopped directly as if they had hit a transparent wall, and then they all slid to the ground, and the corrosive properties broke out, dissolving the cement floor in front of Jiang Yan into a clear horizontal groove.
This time, following the trajectory of those water droplets, Mitt and the others could see that Jiang Yan did have a transparent barrier in front of him that they couldn't see protecting him.
It is very likely that it was this transparent barrier that blocked the little black wolf's surprise attack just now!
"Humans don't have this kind of weird ability!" Mitt suddenly guessed the closest truth to the truth: "Could it be that this little ghost also has a contract elf, this is the ability of his elf?"
Ignoring other people's speculation, Jiang Yan couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he looked at the little black wolf in front of him who had quickly pulled away and hid seven or eight meters away and was looking at him vigilantly.
The little black wolf's action of flying the corrosive water bomb just now can be called a very witty response, but it does not mean that it really avoids injury, at this moment its forefoot that has been in contact with the water bomb is now in a state of flesh and blood, so that it can only lift its forefoot in pain, and it has become an awkward posture that can only stand on three legs.
This little black wolf was not the military major that Jiang Yan had faced before, and its meager spiritual protection prevented its entire forefoot from being dissolved by the corrosive liquid, but it couldn't be completely uninjured.
Moreover, if you can't use a forefoot, your speed will naturally be greatly reduced.
But Jiang Yan was more concerned about another thing at the moment.
Although this elf is only at the level of a miscellaneous fish, his little slime's level is not much better, and it is no wonder that the trap just laid out will be easily broken.
Yes, the invisible cobweb that blocked the little black wolf just now and almost restrained it was transformed by Jiang Yan's little white slime after becoming invisible.
Jiang Yan could actually make the timing of his shooting more decisive just now, as long as he was prepared, he would definitely be able to kill the opponent who was temporarily unable to react as long as he took advantage of the moment when the little black wolf fell into the trap and immediately fired a corrosive water bomb.
But Jiang Yan didn't do that, because he planned to actually test the strength of his little slime's head-on combat. The previous battle was a high-ranking race elf with "soldier-level" strength in only a young age like Earth Dragon, and the gap was too big for the point of testing at all. And this time he only faced a "mortal-level" little black wolf, which was quite suitable in Jiang Yan's opinion.
As for the results of the actual test, Jiang Yan can see from the results of the wrestling between the sticky cobwebs deformed by the little slime and the little black wolf just now.
"Tsk, excluding the use of corrosive water bombs and other sneak attack methods, in terms of the power of frontal combat, I am afraid that the little slime is also at the bottom of the mortal elf rank...... this is the conclusion Jiang Yan has reached.
The reason for the gap is also very clear to Jiang Yan, the problem is still in him, the master!
The two sides are also mortal-level elves who have contracted with humans, but the little slime can't draw spiritual power from Jiang Yan to increase his combat power, and the little guy can only rely on his own lowly spiritual power to fight when fighting.
Although Mitt is not a real elf envoy, he has signed a symbiotic blood contract with the little black wolf. As a human being, he can directly feed the little black wolf with a little life spiritual power that he was born with, of course, the magnitude of this blessing is not as good as the spiritual power that the regular elves cultivate, and it will also consume Mitte's life force, and the more he uses it, the more he will reduce his lifespan, and the shortcomings are many in the eyes of people like Jiang Yan.
But it was enough for the little black wolf to outperform the little slimes who could only rely on themselves.
"Sure enough, I still have to solve the problem of my own abnormal spiritual power, otherwise even if I obtain a higher level of spirit in the future, my weakness will still be very huge!"
After getting the results of the test, Jiang Yan planned to directly kill the little black wolf who had lost his speed advantage.
But suddenly, an emotion from the contract made him stop his movements again, Jiang Yan hesitated slightly, and then suddenly turned around, did not look at the little black wolf again, but directly raised the small white pistol and aimed it at Mit, who was still slumped on the ground and unable to move because of the injury to his thigh.
This action immediately startled him.
At this time, Mitt thought of the key point, although he had confidence in his Pat, but at this moment, he had no power to resist in the face of Jiang Yan's gun.
At this time, he had inconvenient legs and feet, and he couldn't dodge Jiang Yan's corrosive water bomb at all!
Jiang Yan didn't have to go out of his way to fight the little black wolf at all, as long as he solved the contract owner of Mitte, the contract elf, the little black wolf would naturally be self-defeating.
The Symbiotic Blood Pact is a means used by ordinary people to contract elves, this kind of contract will link the life of the deed owner with the elves, and use the elves at the cost of the life and spiritual power of the deed owner, and provide the elves with an increase in combat power.
Compared to the more ordinary equal pet beast-type contract, this blood contract method will allow the contract owner to better control the elves, and make the elves have higher combat power, but the price of the contract backlash is also heavier.
As long as Mitt dies, the little black wolf will definitely not be unable to live!
"Do you know why I killed your leg in the first place? That's it!" Jiang Yan sneered, his fingers moved slightly, and the water bombs were shot out mercilessly, falling directly on Mitte's head.
"Damn itββ!! Pat!" Mitt screamed in horror, and under the thrill of life and death, he instantly felt that his consciousness was more awake than ever.
In his heart, Mitt ordered Pat (the little black wolf) to kill the enemy with all his strength at once, and at the same time, he quickly tore off his coat with both hands, and waved it again and again, causing the coat to dance out of a wide curtain in front of him.
This was still effective, and the water bombs shot by Jiang Yan were basically blocked by this coat, and they failed to hurt Mitt behind him for the time being.
Clusters of corrosive water bombs were bounced off by the waving windbreaker, turning into scattered water splashes everywhere, most of them scattered to the surrounding ground and alley walls, and a few of them shook off Mitt's body, but fortunately, the amount was very small, although Mitt's clothes were corroded into small holes that seemed to be burned by cigarette butts, but for the time being, there was no major problem.
However, Mitt was not at ease at all, because he could clearly see that the coat on his hand was stained with more and more corrosive liquid, and was being dissolved at an increasing rate.
The area he could defend was shrinking rapidly, and even in a few seconds, the palm of his hand that he used to wield his coat would be stained with corrosive fluid!
The anxious state of mind made Mitt urge the little black wolf to attack again and again, but he didn't care whether the little black wolf could break through the invisible barrier that appeared between him and hurt Jiang Yan.
Originally, the little black wolf with an injured forefoot still planned to act cautiously, but unfortunately the crisis on the deed owner's side made it have no time to hesitate, so it could only helplessly follow the order and risk falling into the trap again to launch a surprise attack on Jiang Yan.
Then, the little black wolf was caught by the invisible spider web trap formed by the transformation of the little slime arranged by Jiang Yan outside the body.
This time, the little black wolf, which had been expected, planned to struggle to break the net again, and was even ready to explode his little spiritual power to temporarily increase his explosive power, but unfortunately, before its spiritual power could be put into operation, a dense tingling pain suddenly came from all over the body at the same time, accompanied by a strong paralysis that spread from the pain to the whole body, and soon all its strength was dispersed.
The spiritual power that was about to be mobilized in his body also fell silent without obeying the call.
"Oh, Xiaobai, your paralysis fluid is quite fast, isn't it?"
Jiang Yan had been distracted to pay attention to the movements of the little black wolf while shooting at Mitte, but he chuckled lightly when he saw this, and then Shi Shiran stopped shooting at Mitte, and turned to look at the little black wolf who was already paralyzed and powerlessly restrained in mid-air.
The little white in Jiang Yan's mouth is, of course, referring to his little white slime, which is the name Jiang Yan gave him.
Even if it is an ordinary pet such as a cat or dog, the owner usually chooses a name for it, not to mention a good elf with good intelligence, and at the same time, this is also to distinguish his own elf from his own kind.
Like Mitte's little black wolf, whose name is Pat. And Jiang Yan named his little slime 'Xiaobai'.
...... Well, you see, it's very small and snow-white, isn't it appropriate?
Well, please forgive Jiang Yan's talent for choosing names, it seems that even if he has regrown from his childhood memory loss for nearly ten years, he is still not good at some aspects.
Straight to the point.
"Okay, without further ado...... Jiang Yan coldly announced the fate of the little black wolf: "Xiaobai, just follow your instinct and eat it!"
Previously, when Jiang Yan was about to make a move, Xiao Bai suddenly contacted Jiang Yan through a contract and had an emotion to Jiang Yan - it wanted to 'eat' the little black wolf.
'Eating' is obviously different from 'killing', although Jiang Yan didn't know why Xiaobai suddenly had this idea, but it was not difficult to satisfy it anyway, so he agreed.
Obviously, the corrosive bullet can't be used casually, otherwise the little black wolf won't know if he can keep the intact corpse if he hits it.
Therefore, Jiang Yan changed his way, that is, to lure the other party to take the initiative to step into the trap, and then use Xiaobai's other ability that is different from the corrosive liquid: paralysis liquid, with the cobweb trap to catch it.
Jiang Yan didn't forget that when he was cut off at the initial summoning ceremony, Xiao Bai sneaked up and bit his hand, and when this little guy sucked Jiang Yan's blood, he also injected paralyzing liquid into his hand.
That kind of paralyzing liquid not only made Jiang Yan's entire arm lose control at that time, but even made Jiang Yan's spiritual power temporarily disobey the call, thus missing the opportunity to interrupt Xiaobai's initiative to make a contract with him.
It can be seen that Xiaobai's paralyzing liquid can not only have an effect on the physical body of living beings, but also affect spiritual power, and the effect is basically not inferior to its corrosive liquid. The only defect is that if it cannot be injected directly into the body, only the contact on the surface of the body will greatly reduce the paralyzing effect, and the effect will be worse if there is a barrier from clothing, fur and other things, which makes its lethality much worse than that of corrosive liquid.
Of course, the little black wolf is protected by a wolf hair, but it takes the initiative to step into the invisible trap, which is equivalent to colliding with Xiaobai closely.
"Mi ββ!"
Instructed by Jiang Yan, Xiao Bai suddenly retreated from his state of remaining invisible very excitedly, revealing the image of a white cocoon made of spider silk densely wrapped around the little black wolf and hanging it in mid-air.
"W-What is this?!" Mitt threw away his tattered coat that could no longer be touched, and saw that his little black wolf had completely lost his ability to resist, and he was gradually despairing in his heart, and he was muttering in horror at this time: "White spider silk...... Spider-type elves?"
It seems that this thing has not been able to recognize the true face of the deformed Xiaobai.
After Jiang Yan glanced at this guy, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned his head and continued to watch Xiao Bai's movements.
Seeing that Xiao Bai continued to activate the ability to transform, he completely wrapped the little black wolf in his body in three layers inside and three layers outside. A white cocoon as high as Jiang Yan's shoulders appeared in this small alley, and then under the gaze of Jiang Yan and others, it squirmed strangely.
It's like ...... The gastrointestinal organs that humans are digesting after loading food!
...... Click...... Poof!
The creepy sound of cracking bones and the sound of broken flesh came out of the cocoon.
"Woo woo ββ!!!" "Uh...... ββ!!
The howl of the wolf rang out at the same time as the scream of the human man, who had slowed down a few seconds.
Jiang Yan plucked out his ears, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he first glanced at the cocoon, and muttered heartlessly: "Eh, I'm paralyzed, how miserable is it to still scream so miserable?"
Then he glanced at Mitt, who was screaming halfway and fainted not far away, walked over to inspect it, and shook his head: "Hmm...... This is the backlash of the contract?"
Underneath him, Mitter's body was rapidly aging, his hair turned gray, his skin was wrinkled, and in just a few seconds, he had changed from a man in his mid-thirties to an old man who looked to be at least sixty years old.
"The blood contract shares the life and spiritual power, so when the contract elf side encounters a crisis, the contract owner is used to repair the damage of the elves by the contract, which is the end. β
Jiang Yan looked at this scene, and couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't used the same contract method in the first place, and even a normal person was so miserable, not to mention the body of a naturally short-lived artificial experimental subject like him!
After a while, the large cocoon that Xiao Bai had turned into over there quieted down and slowly shrank back to its original size, and at the same time, the signs of aging on Mitte's body also stopped, and his appearance of aging was fixed at about eighty years old.
"Is it over?"
