Chapter 417: Hide and Seek Time Ends Here
"Are you still going to continue?" Jiang Yan glanced at the shadow leopard not far away that had just barely stood up after being smashed away by Xiao Bai's heavy punch, and kindly asked again: "Your elf is not very strong." โ
The Shadow Leopard's physical fitness was not outstanding among the phantom beast species, and after losing the Shadow Body's resistance to physical strikes, it had already suffered a lot of injuries after only taking a punch from Xiaobai.
If you throw a few more punches, you will be seriously injured, and that will be fine. If the contract elf is too seriously injured, the contract owner will also be harmed, not to mention that Jiang Yan doesn't look at the girl like the kind of person who doesn't care about the life or death of the contract elf.
Anyway, this is also an elite in the second echelon, and now that this Shadow Leopard has been cultivated to the rank of a soldier, the future potential has a little value to continue to be expected.
It's a pity that the other party didn't appreciate Jiang Yan's kindness.
"No! it's not over yet!" the girl looked at the Shadow Leopard, just in time to meet the other man's gaze, and although she didn't speak, she had already read its determination in the Shadow Leopard's eyes.
Nodding, the girl snorted, "Then let's fight!
The Shadow Leopard remained silent, and it didn't look like the kind of Phantom Beast Spirit who liked to boost his momentum by roaring, but his entire shadow body reacted immediately. The dark spiritual power erupted and turned into a large black mist, which instantly enveloped Xiao Bai and spread rapidly around.
"Mi?!" came Xiaobai's exclamation from the black fog, apparently slightly startled by this sudden change.
"It's ...... Do you create an environment that is beneficial to yourself?" Jiang Yan asked with interest as he looked at the misty area in front of him that was shrouded in a radius of more than ten meters and was four or five meters high, but it was condensed.
"That's right!" Although I couldn't see it, the voice of the girl on the other side came clearly, and her tone revealed a hint of urgency: "In this way, within the scope of this realm, 'shadows' are everywhere!
It sounded like the other party's voice had some confidence, but Jiang Yan was still very keen and could hear a trace of nervousness and a little tiredness.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan understood the key to it: "It is indeed a useful ability, but it is a big burden for you to maintain this shadow realm, right?"
The shadow black mist churned and continued to spread, completely engulfing the girl's figure, and soon spread towards Jiang Yan's side.
A girl's firm voice came out of it: "It's enough to support you to defeat you!"
The girl's voice at this time seemed to have been processed by some means, or the effect of the shadow black fog itself, making the sound source seem to come from all directions, and it was impossible to infer her location from this.
But come to think of it, she must no longer be in the same position.
"Yes. Jiang Yan shrugged, but did not resist, and let the dark black mist that had spread in front of him 'swallow' him as well.
There is no point in dodging, it seems that the girl and the ghost leopard are really desperate to ignore the consumption of spiritual power, and to the greatest extent spread the shadow black fog into the planned engagement area in the center of the entire exercise ground, although Jiang Yan estimates that the other party is most likely not capable of spreading the black fog to the entire exercise ground, but now that he is in the assessment, he, the examiner, can't 'leave the field first', right?
Poofโ
In the shadow mist that was completely obscured from his eyes, Jiang Yan heard a sound not far in front of him that seemed to have cut a slice of meat with a sharp claw.
โโ?!At the same time, Xiaobai's exclamation also sounded.
"An assassin in the shadows?" The so-called shadow black fog's obscuring effect on the line of sight had no effect on Jiang Yan, and he had too many ways to penetrate this obscuration. Letting go of his perception a little, Jiang Yan understood what had just happened.
With the help of this shadow area that spreads out, the Shadow Leopard is completely at home, almost teleporting super movement ability, and at this moment, the figure is attacking Xiaobai out of nowhere.
It appeared on Xiao Bai's side one second ago and waved a claw, and the next second it appeared on Xiao Bai's back with another claw, and the claw covered with dark spiritual power also received a great increase in attack power in the shadowy environment, and a single claw could tear Xiao Bai's body apart with a few huge scars on the human body that were enough to directly cut the waist.
If it weren't for the special nature of Xiaobai's body, there was no deadly core like an ordinary slime, and the injuries could be quickly and freely reassembled and repaired, I'm afraid it would have been dismembered a long time ago.
Puff puff puff...... In the depths of the dark mist, the sound of claws cutting flesh became more and more intense.
Under the enhancement of the shadow environment, the shadow leopard's stealth displacement ability has been improved to the extreme, and the frequency of attacks falling is getting faster and faster, as if there are several of them besieging Xiaobai at the same time, and gradually, the recovery speed of those torn wounds is actually starting to be a little unable to keep up with the speed of the other party creating new wounds.
Even, after the shadow leopard's claws covered with a layer of dark aura fell, there will always be some spiritual power of the same color left on the wound on Xiaobai's body, which obviously hinders the healing of its wounds, even if this thing will soon be dispelled by Xiaobai's own stronger spiritual power, but it will always take a little time, and the efficiency of wound repair will be dragged down because of this.
"Mi!!"
Xiao Bai screamed angrily, and a pair of giant hands waved again and again, trying to catch the guy next to him who was harassing him like a fly. Although the body is injured, it can continue to repair, but since this product can enjoy human food, it means that its senses are still normal, and the pain when injured naturally exists, even if the amplitude of pain is far less high than that of normal creatures, but after such a dense frequency is superimposed, Xiaobai is also uncomfortable.
It's like when one or two ants are crawling on you, and you probably don't care much about the touch, but what if you change to hundreds, thousands of ants crawling on your skin at the same time?
However, this made Xiaobai uncomfortable at best, and Jiang Yan was still not very worried about the current battle situation. Even if the other party cleverly injected spiritual power into Xiaobai's wound and delayed its self-healing, it was actually useless.
In fact, it was the same as Jiang Yan thought, even if the Shadow Leopard's offensive rhythm rose to the limit later, and he actually tore Xiaobai to pieces with his claws, it only made more than a dozen slime splinters of different sizes appear on the field.
Maintaining this shadow black fog is indeed as Jiang Yan thought, it is a huge burden for the girl and the shadow leopard, after persisting for almost a minute, the girl has already turned a little pale due to excessive spiritual power consumption, and the shadow leopard can no longer maintain the ultra-high frequency of 'multiple flashes + backstabs', and has to lurk back into the depths of the black fog.
As the releasers of the Shadow and Black Mist, they are naturally not affected by the sight of the Black Mist environment, so the girl easily synchronized the perspective of the Shadow Leopard through the contract link with the help of some elves, and 'saw' her own results.
The dozen or so large and small slime splits were reuniting at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, a sizzling sound was constantly coming out from the bodies of these splits, and a silver-white spiritual power glow could be vaguely seen appearing in the dark shadows and black mist, which was very eye-catching.
After each snort, the girl could sense that part of the residual spiritual power that the shadow leopard had hit in the opponent's body would disappear simultaneously.
"It's really, it's difficult......" In the face of this kind of difficult opponent who is smashed to pieces, the girl is really out of line.
She already knew that the other party also had a very high resistance to physical strikes, so the attack of the Shadow Leopard just now was not limited to the pure physical level, just like Xiao Bai had attached a high density of spiritual power to his fist in order to deal with the Shadow Leopard's 'shadow body' state before, and the Shadow Leopard's claws were also blessed with a large amount of spiritual power when attacking.
But there is a big premise in this way, that is, the gap between the spiritual power of the two sides should not be too large. Obviously, the Shadow Leopard's spiritual power does not have an advantage at all when facing Xiaobai.
Since slimes are so difficult to deal with, the girl naturally thought about directly targeting Jiang Yan himself, who is the owner of the contract.
However, Jiang Yan was unexpectedly cautious, as soon as the girl let the shadow leopard get close to the other party, Jiang Yan seemed to be alert, and suddenly stomped his feet, and ice walls jumped out of the ground around his body, protecting him heavily.
If it was just an ice wall, the girl would have the confidence to let the Shadow Leopard find a gap to break through with the wall-piercing characteristics of the shadow body, but Jiang Yan's defense methods were more than that, he actually spent a lot of spiritual power to condense a set of ice crystal armor on the surface of his body!
And this set of ice crystal armor is obviously much more perfect than the half-baked half-body armor that Sauron used before, helmets, breastplates, shoulder armor, gauntlets, skirt armor, leggings, combat boots, ...... Jiang Yan's ice crystal armor was fully covered, from top to bottom, all positions were tightly protected, and there was no vital point exposed at all.
This made the girl's eyes twitch slightly, that kind of ice crystal armor is essentially made of ice, this guy wears so much, and he is not afraid of being frozen?
Well, in fact, she obviously thought too much, Jiang Yan's ice crystal armor was not the kind of impure kind of remnant goods that would keep dropping ice powder and ice slag after being condensed.
Jiang Yan, who has super subtle-level control, can condense all the ice energy without volatilization and waste as long as he wants to, to the extent that ordinary people will not feel cold even if they touch these ice crystals with their hands, and there is no way to talk about frostbite or anything.
Although she knew that the layer of ice crystal armor was probably not easy to use, the girl still let her ghost leopard test it, and as a result, she was trapped.
The Shadow Leopard, who just wanted to lurk in with the shadow body gap, actually collided head-on with an invisible warning barrier between the ice walls, and the strong spiritual reaction directly exposed its location, and then the next moment, a large number of ice bayonets came out of the ice walls, piercing the position where the Shadow Leopard was located.
If it weren't for the Shadow Leopard's high vigilance and resolute retreat at full speed the moment he found out that something was wrong, I'm afraid the end would definitely not be good - those ice crystal bayonets were all covered with a layer of ice-blue heavy spiritual power, except for the difference in color, it was almost the same level as the spirit armor on the previous snow-white slime fist, and the Shadow Leopard had no doubt that if he stayed in place, even if it was a shadow body, he would be seriously injured in an instant, and even fall directly into a state of being frozen.
Obviously, Jiang Yan, the contract master, is also not easy to mess with, mainly because his defense is a bit insoluble for the Shadow Leopard - it is better at stealth assassination, and it lacks high-powered offensive means that can forcibly break through the opponent's ice crystal protective layer.
The girl thought for a while, and tried to open her mouth to test the information from Jiang Yan's side: "Hey, your elf, it seems that it can repair the body without limits, but in fact, it needs to consume energy every time, right?"
"Guess what?" But Jiang Yan gave her an answer of unknown significance, and the expression on her face was always smiling, and outsiders couldn't tell the depth at all.
It's infuriating!
Jiang Yan suddenly spoke again: "I said, if you continue to stalemate like this, it is likely that your spiritual power will be exhausted in the end, and that will be a bit boring, so it is better to end it as soon as possible." How about you just throw in the towel?"
"Hmph, don't think!" the girl replied without hesitation.
If she admits defeat so easily, she and the Shadow Leopard will always feel a little unworthy of the meaning of persevering until now.
"Yes. Jiang Yan shrugged, and then suddenly smiled: "I said, don't you think that with this black fog, you can delay it with peace of mind, right?"
The ability of the Shadow Leopard is indeed very troublesome, if it has been hiding with the help of shadows, Jiang Yan will not be able to solve the other party quickly unless he exposes more hole cards.
But even if he didn't use other means such as abilities to cheat, Jiang Yan had almost locked the girl's tracks.
So, he decided to take the initiative to launch an offensive to end the battle.
"Alright, that's the end of hide and seek time. โ
"Oh, what do you ......mean?" asked the girl, puzzled, but no sooner had she said than a chill rushed over her senses.
Danger warning?!
It's not a psychological chill, it's a literal chill!
It turned out that I don't know when, a snow-white slime splinter the size of a leather ball actually touched her back, and at this time, it was instantly transformed into ice blue, and the body surface protruded and deformed into a small cannon barrel, and a fist-sized ice bomb accompanied by a trace of frost and cold air sprayed out from the cannon barrel towards the girl's back!
The cold air contained in the ice bomb caused the air to condense into frosty white ice particles everywhere along the way, and there was no doubt that if she was hit, at least half of the girl's body would be frozen in the cold air that spread out.
'When?!' The girl who didn't expect that she would be exposed hidden in the shadows and black fog was shocked in her heart, but it was too late to speak, and she couldn't catch up with any other means of protection, she could only shout anxiously in her heart: 'Rabbi!!'
In the next moment, a dark shadow appeared from the ground, quickly condensed into a leopard shadow, and immediately reached out a paw shrouded in a faint light, and finally slapped the ice bomb out of the way before it landed on the girl's back.
Without giving the little ice-blue slime that fired the ice bomb a chance to continue to mend the knife, the shadow leopard once again reached out and tore at it with its other claw, grabbing it into a mass of pieces, and at the same time swept away with the strong wind formed by the claw, preventing the little slime from continuing to threaten the girl with its 'immortal body'.
The best way to prevent this kind of enemy from getting close to the girl is to do so!
The girl touched her back, which was already covered with a layer of coldness just because of the strong cold that spread when the ice bomb approached, and then looked at the shadow leopard's frost-white claws that had been covered with a layer of frost after slapping the ice bomb, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
"Rabbi!" But now is not the time to rejoice, the girl hurriedly greeted, and the knowing shadow leopard let her sit on her back, and left the position with the girl in a few jumps, and once again hid in the depths of the dark mist.
"Mi โโ?"
Sure enough, as expected, the girl and the shadow leopard soon found that a few seconds later, the little white body waving a pair of giant fists appeared in the position she was in just now, and glanced around with some regret.
Without waiting for the girl to feel at ease, her heart jumped again - the snow-white slime actually laughed playfully, and then suddenly turned around, and the two giant arms turned into two cannon barrels seventy or eighty centimeters thick and several meters long, and the next moment the snow-white cannon barrel turned into an ice blue hue!
Woo Woo ......
The cannon barrel shook slightly, and two ice bombs the size of a basin with a rich cold air and strong spiritual power fluctuations roared out, and they hit the girl's position at the moment very accurately!
