Chapter 313: Cutting off the beard
After sending the slime away, Jiang Yan once again devoted his attention to the ritual circle.
It's a bit of a pity that there are no material mediums on the ritual circle that can provide effect bonuses, and all the materials prepared by the research institute for this ritual have been consumed just now.
It was precisely because of this consumption that Jiang Yan's summoning ceremony just now was able to directly open up a cross-border passage connecting a corner of the elven world and attract a large number of elves.
However, Jiang Yan who came again didn't feel sorry for this, the use of material media could indeed enhance the effect of the summoning ceremony, but for him now, too good an effect would be useless.
Anyway, even if he summons a high-level elf, he can't make a contract!
If you don't use materials, the initial summoning really depends on your luck.,If your luck is really not good, you'll even summon a miscellaneous fish level that can only be used to sell cute.、Miscellaneous fish level that doesn't even reach the level of soldiers.、Elves that can only be pets.。
For example, an uninvited slime......
I don't know why Jiang Yan suddenly thought of the slime just now, he quickly shook his head and threw it out of his mind, and instead focused on activating the ritual circle with the spell again.
“ΝΑΠΥΛ——!!!”
Brushing –
After a slightly hazy pale white aura flashed, Jiang Yan felt that there was an extra creature in front of him.
When the aura dissipated, I saw that it was a little fox with snowy fur about the size of an ordinary Shiba Inu, with two long plush tails with pale pink ends, and the little guy's cyan and spiritual eyes were spinning around, looking at Jiang Yan with curiosity.
Jiang Yan, who had always learned the elven illustrated course, quickly recognized the identity of this little guy.
"A soldier-level phantom fox, looking at the size of the fox, it is still a juvenile, but it has grown to have two fox tails, and the potential is not bad......"
Although Phantom Fox is not an elf who is good at frontal combat, Jiang Yan is still satisfied, and it is already very good that random summoning can summon such a little guy with good potential.
Without further ado, Jiang Yan immediately used the spirit technique, condensed his spiritual power to outline a contract mark, and walked up to the phantom fox and pressed it on his forehead.
Originally, it was best to communicate with each other, but since it was a compulsory contract, Jiang Yan didn't think that the other party would cooperate well after learning about the situation, so he decided to do it directly, and hit it by surprise first!
However, the unexpected happened at this time.
Jiang Yan's fingertips shone with a silver contract mark aimed at the phantom fox's head and fell, but it suddenly stopped halfway, as if there was some invisible obstacle in front of his fingers.
Jiang Yan carefully looked at the empty air between his fingers and the phantom fox, obviously there was nothing, but there was a clear feeling of touching some obstacle on his hand, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
'What's going on?!'
Pressing his fingers forward hard, Jiang Yan's fingers seemed to sink directly into it, and the soft and warm comfortable touch was immediately fed back.
Feeling this familiar touch, which he had just experienced not long ago, Jiang Yan's face suddenly changed.
'—Wait, this feels ......!!'
"Puff ——!"
The air in front of Jiang Yan's fingers suddenly began to distort, and a snow-white ball that had been squeezed and deformed appeared from the transparent state, and quickly returned to its original color.
"I'll rub it, it's really you!!" Looking at this slime stuck to his hand, Jiang Yan couldn't help but lose his voice.
Damn, how did this guy get here?!Didn't I just throw it away?!
"The ability to be transparent?" seems to be more than that, even the breath is obscured, otherwise I wouldn't have been unaware of it at all! A handful of advanced variants of the slime race seem to have this ability, as if it is called "mimicry"...... This guy, is it a high-level slime?'
Thinking of this, a small doubt before Jiang Yan was also solved.
Originally, Jiang Yan was still a little strange, as the lowest and weakest elf, how did the slime just get mixed in with a group of high elves, and still run in front of him through the summoning ceremony passage under the noses of that group of high elves?
But if there is such an excellent mimicry ability that even Jiang Yan's perception can conceal, it would not be particularly strange.
Although, Jiang Yan was still a little puzzled: he had never heard of any high-level slime's mimicry ability that could hide his own traces so perfectly, it was even stronger than some assassination-type soldier-level elves.
'Wait, now is not the time to think about this!'
Thinking that he was surprised by the abnormality of this slime, Jiang Yan was slightly distracted for a while, and now he suddenly came to his senses - he was still releasing the contract elf technique in his hand now, and he was originally going to use it on the phantom fox, but now this slime suddenly jumped out, wasn't it cut off?!
Jiang Yan, who came back to his senses, immediately wanted to cancel the contract spirit technique, but he was still one step too late.
Jiang Yan's entire palm had already been completely wrapped by the slime with his body, and even the contract mark condensed in his fingertips had completely penetrated into the deepest part of the slime's body.
Then, Jiang Yan felt that his contract mark was directly wrapped by this little guy with a spiritual power of his own, and it was quickly inhaling into its body.
Jiang Yan's face, who felt this scene, changed suddenly: "Fuck, stop for me, !! you."
He doesn't want to actually sign an elven contract with a slime!!, even if it's probably an advanced variant!!
Jiang Yan wanted to take advantage of the fact that the other party had not completely fused the mark and directly urged the spiritual power to remove the contract mark.
However, as soon as he had this thought, his palm suddenly tingled, and then he instantly felt a slight tingling.
It's not just the paralysis of the nerves in his hands, but more importantly, Jiang Yan's spiritual power also seems to have been affected and he began to disobey commands.
"Shhh——!hh
Taking advantage of the fact that the paralysis did not spread to his shoulders, Jiang Yan frantically shook his hand, and finally threw away the slime stuck to his hand far away, and then blew directly into a small wound on his finger that was bleeding blood: ", you little thing actually sneaked up on me?!"
But in the next second, Jiang Yan was stunned again, and his face changed pale for a while.
I saw a few drops of red blood stained on the surface of the slime body that he threw away in the distance, and it was directly sucked into his body, and then, through the translucent body of this thing, a rune flashing with silver aura lit up in the center, which was Jiang Yan's contract mark.
The absorbed blood carried the breath that belonged to Jiang Yan, and the slime who was directly fused with the blood naturally obtained this breath temporarily, and with this as a medium, it used its very weak spiritual power to reactivate the contract imprint that was about to automatically dissipate due to the loss of Jiang Yan's maintenance, and then did not even give Jiang Yan a chance to regret it, so he incorporated this contract into his soul.
Then, a contractual bond between the two souls is automatically established.
- The contract is established.
