In my ears, I couldn't even hear the sound of the insect spirit flapping its wings.

The cold night, the cold moonlight, gently drifted down the blown mist.

Li Jingming and Su Mei left the hidden area and walked towards Ye Hanjun with stiff steps.

When they stood still, they looked forward, and their trance-like expressions were mixed with a hint of complexity.

Giant Duckmon...... It's really dead!

It collapsed in a pool of blood, and the bottom half of its body sank into the mud.

On the upper half of the body, the sharp knife marks were shocking, not a single hair was intact, there were bloody cuts everywhere, and bare white animal bones could be seen everywhere.

And places that are suspected of being fatal, such as a cracked neck, such as a broken back, such as a broken heart...... There are as many as four or five places.

It is expected that the giant duck beast, as a barbarian spirit, no matter how tenacious its vitality is, it will not be able to survive this level of injury.

When the wind faded and the yellow sand dispersed, there was still warmth in the corpse, and there seemed to be incomprehensible horror reflected in the dead eyes.

Probably even it didn't expect that in the end, it would die in the hands of a clay sculpture fetus in such a miserable and pitiful appearance.

"Your Excellency."

The flower candle manipulates the flow of the wind and floats next to the Night Chiller.

At this time, the escaping fog had not yet recondensed, and the moonlight was sprinkled overhead, and the pitch-black wizard's hat seemed to be covered with a layer of silver ash.

And the golden hair fluttering in the wind is fluffy, light and soft.

After looking at it for a long time, each one is like a spiritual elf, and I want to reach out and touch it to experience the supreme silky texture.

However, if your eyes fall on the witch's face, that slightly petite face already has the rudiments of elegance.

She is like a proud snow and cold plum blooming alone in a quiet valley, with beautiful eyes looking forward to it, full of understatement calmness and elegance.

Kill the Duckmon...... So easy?

It seems that in the training hall, there is one enemy and three enemies, and in the final analysis, the confidence is absolutely confident after all!

Li Jingming and Su Mei, looking at the flowers and candles, were even more respectful.

"It's not bad, it's worthy of a "unique and unparalleled technique" that transcends the limit."

Ye Hanjun showed a faint smile, pulling and maneuvering in front of him, consuming physical energy, and then having "Wild Sand Dance", responsible for the final kill.

Although the weakness of the flower candle's body is fragile, it is still extremely obvious.

But there are powerful attack spells, and there are durable defensive spells, with agile postures and light strains.

The clay sculpture fetus, there are really few souls who can compete with her.

Giant Duckmon - Died unjustly!

It's like a stepping stone to witness the first time Flower Candle goes all out.

Such a gorgeous posture and such a thrilling achievement are just the beginning of the fame of "Sandstorm".

"Torah—"

With a blood-sucking dagger, Night Hanjun cut off the neck of the giant duck beast little by little.

The valuable material of the Giant Duckmon is actually hair, which can be used to make high-end clothing.

Unfortunately, the battle was so badly damaged that there was no need to collect it.

However, the duck neck is still very delicious, and it is roasted slowly over low heat, which is very suitable for casual snacks.

"It's almost early morning, so let's get here today and find a place to rest."

Ye Hanjun collected the flower candles, Li Jingming and Su Mei said hello, and silently kept up with the pace of the Han Master.

……

In areas like the Yellow Mudmarsh, it's not easy to find a place to spend the night.

As the night deepens, there are more dangerous predators than during the day, and if you are not careful, you will run into them head-on.

Rao is Ye Hanjun experienced and has a strong sense, or is he forced to participate in a few battles.

Of course, I didn't touch the tire of Kasumi.

In addition to delaying the team's marching speed, the clay-level wild spirits cannot allow team members to suffer intolerable injuries.

Eventually, the trio hid inside a rock tree that had been dead for many years.

The night is cold and sleepy, maintaining a consistent rest mode, which can not only restore energy, but also detect danger at the first time.

Su Mei and Li Jingming spent the night in the swamp for the first time.

There are far more monsters roaming around than there are in the trial area.

Their nerves were hard to relax, and neither of them slept well after the night.

In order to ensure that the next actions were not affected, the Night Cold-kun told them to rest until noon.

"Zizizi-"

The campfire has been lit, and the duck neck, cut into countless small pieces, is slowly smoked.

As the temperature rises, the lingering fog fades a little.

The penetration of some sunlight also makes the spirits living in the swamp mud area lose their activity for a short time and spend a lazy afternoon together.

"It's so fragrant......"

Su Mei, who was in a daze, rubbed her sleepy eyes, crawled out of the rock tree.

Then she saw that Li Jingming, who had just woken up, was sorting out his equipment, while the cold master was patiently cooking some kind of meat around a campfire.

"Gooo......"

The hungry stomach rang out uncontrollably.

Ye Hanjun handed over a few skewers of roast duck neck at the right time and distributed them to the two.

"Click, click—"

The teeth bite the neck of the roast duck, the crispy skin touches the tip of the tongue, and the spices of pepper and sesame soak into the nasal cavity.

Su Mei and Li Jingming's eyes lit up, and they subconsciously increased the speed of chewing.

"Master Han, the food you made...... It's really delicious! ”

"Although it's not a magical delicacy and can't trigger special effects, the taste is really impeccable!"

Su Mei licked her lips, unaware that the meat had gone down to her stomach, and after spitting out the bones, her face was full of aftertaste and amazement.

"The way of food is one of the few ways I can never get tired of enjoying it."

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly, took out what he had wanted to say a long time ago, and said lightly:

"Su Mei and Li Jingming, you have seized the opportunity to change your fate, separated from your past selves under my promotion, and worked hard to move towards a brilliant future."

"But in your spare time, you should also think carefully about what you really want to achieve in your heart."

"This goal can be marginal, absurd, and not understood by the world."

"It's not a simple 'become stronger', but after becoming stronger, the original unattainable dream can be realized."

"I call it a 'growth boost,' or a 'belief in growth.'"

"For example, although there are countless factors that force me to become stronger, many times I can't help myself."

"But the desire of the mouth", this is one of my spontaneous motivations, there is no persecution from outsiders, it is completely mine."

Shaking his head, the Night Chill Monarch said with a matter:

"Remember, never be strong for the sake of being strong, you must find your own beliefs."

"If you stand at the top of the world one day, there is no one in front of you to look up, no one around you can stand side by side, and no one behind you wants to protect ...... What is the purpose of this power of nothingness? ”

"Higher rank, stronger spirits, more possessions...... These are not the goals of being born as human beings, but a better life is, and this should never be put before the horse. ”

"Su Mei, Li Jingming - I hope that as my disciples, you will not lose yourself."

"Think about what you want to chase, it doesn't matter if you can't think of it for the time being, it's a question that you can think about for a lifetime."

"Believe me, when you have your own beliefs, whether it is one or more, one by one, you will become invincible, no matter how confused you are, it can't hinder your eyes, no matter how big the predicament is, it can't hinder your pace of progress......"

A few paragraphs, like earth-shattering thunder falling on the heartstrings.

Su Mei, who was just tasting the food and was delighted and admired, shook her shoulders and froze there.

And Li Jingming, whose eyes were blooming, seemed to see a more shining path of the Imperial Spirit in the dark, getting closer and closer to him, and more and more real.

"Hey, this kind of coaching can also be fed?"

Ye Hanjun originally wanted to lay a good foundation for the two disciples and plant the seed called "faith" as soon as possible, so that their future path would be longer.

Unexpectedly, the disciple's passive power "feeds back" and activates homeopathically.

There is also a sense of experience that should not be underestimated, pouring into his body, and the experience of accelerating the flow of power is numb and happy.

"The tutors in the academy never explain these ......"

"But Master Han's words came from the bottom of his heart and gave us a spiritual impact...... There is also the potential to shake the mountains and the sea! ”

Li Jingming hugged his fists and bowed, and thanked Ye Hanjun for his enlightening words with a grand courtesy.

Su Mei, who came back to her senses, hurriedly followed suit.

Her delicate face was filled with a glimmer that she couldn't see on weekdays, and in the face of Ye Hanjun, she seemed to have lost a little restraint and became a little more playful.

"Master Han, before I think about what this life is going to be, I am more and more determined to take you as the goal and keep catching up!"

"Although we are about the same age, you really meet all the ideal definition of "teacher", and it is a blessing in life to be able to become your apprentice!"

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly and stopped answering.

He stood up from the rock, motioned for the two to divide the remaining duck neck, and when he was done eating, he was ready to start his adventure for the day.

"Li Jingming, try the full version of "Sweet Slime" today."

Li Jingming nodded, first agreed, and then thought:

"Master Han, the dose was halved yesterday, and there is still a lot of commotion."

"I'm worried that if I go all out, I may be able to alarm the big insects of the Kasumi level."

"It's okay, wait until it comes."

Ye Hanjun was not shocked, and suddenly took out a red medicine bottle from the dimensional space bag, and handed it to Su Meidao:

"This is the "Berserk Elixir" I mentioned to you, which was first purchased from the store, and then I added a few special ingredients to slightly change the properties of the medicine."

"Later, when the insects are all lured in, you let the ostrich drink."

"In about fifteen minutes, the ostrich's combat power soared, and it was infinitely close to the perfection of the clay sculpture."

"But it can get 'out of hand,' and it's hard to obey your orders."

"All you need to do is ride and make sure you don't have to worry about your life and let it go wild."

"In this way, in the process of fighting, it will have the opportunity to comprehend new skills and indirectly improve its overall combat capability."

"I see!" Su Mei nodded solemnly.

After some discussion, Li Jingming spent twice as much time yesterday carefully arranging the insect net trap.

Then, he concentrated the sweet slime on the edge of a giant rock, and when the sweet aroma began to fill the air, he pulled out and retreated, together with Ye Hanjun and Su Mei, three hundred meters away from the trap, hiding behind another rock tree.

"Buzz—"

The first to rush over was actually a swarm of "zombie bees".

Instead of collecting nectar, this insect spirit prefers to collect blood from dead corpses to eventually brew "blood nectar".

They are small in size and have large holes, making it difficult to stick to them.

But there are too many of them, thirty or fifty of them act together, and there are still many unlucky eggs who are squeezed into the flight space by their pig teammates, and then come into close contact with the insect net.

"Assert ......"

A "ghost flea" sprang out, the size of a human being, and every time it bounced like a fluttering ghost, it chased after the zombie bees after a few flickers, for fear that they would snatch food, and bounced and hit them frantically.

Bang bang bang!

Ping Pong!!

- The Bug Tournament has begun again.

In order to get over the insect net and get close to the rock, the insect spirits participating in the competition tried their best.

Some even fight with each other, eager to tear each other apart on the spot, so as to reduce competitors.

Li Jingming, who was secretly spying, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight at this stage.

The experience points that skyrocketed out of thin air made his eyes shine, and at the peak, there would even be a hint of flushing on his cheeks.

However, wait until the overflowing sweetness gradually weakens.

Some of the insect spirits regained consciousness and no longer gathered towards the rocks, but only wanted to break free from the shackles of the insect nets and quickly escape from this land of right and wrong.

"Ostrich, it's our turn!"

The imaginary glow of the womb did not appear, and Su Mei summoned the pink ostrich and poured the furious potion directly into its mouth.

"Hiccup~~~"

The big ostrich burps and lets out a loud fart.

Visible to the naked eye, those big eyes suddenly turned scarlet as blood.

"Quack! Quack Quack !! ("▼Dish▼)

The crazy pink ostrich almost bit Li Jingming's hair.

In order not to let one of the school grasses recognized by the freshmen of the academy become a bald man.

Su Mei, whose heart was hanging in her throat, hugged the ostrich's neck and let its eyes be aimed at the insects that were messing around not far away.

"Gah?" ()

The big ostrich was stunned for a moment, and his steps paused.

It was probably the buzzing and noisy insects that made it extremely irritable, and the big ostrich's attention suddenly turned away, and it rushed out wildly, and the big feet stepped on the mud and splashed to both sides.

"Quack! Quack quack!! ”

The pink ostrich, which usually attacks mainly by hitting and kicking, comes up with a head hammer.

The two butterflies were entangled, and they were separated by the collision, and the two butterflies stopped killing each other, and in the blink of an eye, they made the ostrich the target of their concerted attack.

"Boom—"

A dark green pile of powder floated towards the ostrich's body.

It is a 50-grain "grass seed meal" that germinates quickly once planted in the body, and if it is not controlled, the flexibility of the body will be limited a little bit.

In the past, Su Mei would inevitably drive the ostrich to dodge.

But this time, her order failed, and the red-eyed pink ostrich ignored it, jumped three meters high, and was a leg sweep in mid-air, and a grass butterfly didn't react at all, and was kicked in the stomach and fell into the mud with no breath.

"Huh?!"

Su Mei stared, as if she was meeting an ostrich for the first time, and she was particularly stunned.

Noticing that more than half of the grass seed powder was attached to her body, she hurriedly took out a water charm.

After crushing it, a stream of blue water was sprayed and poured down the back of the great ostrich, and all the dark green powder was rinsed away.

In this way, before Su Mei had time to catch his breath, the ostrich continued to go crazy, took a fancy to an iron beetle that wanted to burrow into the ground and escape, went up and kicked it like a ball and flew it hundreds of meters.

"Ostrich, calm down!"

"Look at your back! There's a bug attack! ”

Su Mei had already activated the protective armor and damage reduction gauntlets, but at this time, the tacit understanding of one man and one beast was almost none, and she had to give all her heart and soul just to avoid falling off the back of the ostrich.

"Torah—"

A flash of knife flashed, and a forty-centimeter-long bloody wound appeared near the position of the big ostrich on the buttocks.

"Gah?!"

The pink ostrich, which was in pain, jumped on the spot and turned around sharply.

Attacking it was a giant praying mantis, covered in gray carapace, armed with two sharp machetes.

Although the overall color is extremely monotonous, the translucent compound eyes are shining with the color of humanized wisdom.

"Mud Blade Mantis?"

Li Jingming, who was carrying a long sword, rushed into the battlefield with the ostrich behind.

When he noticed the mantis, he was surprised.

The grimace moth behind it subconsciously showed nervousness.

This bug ...... It's dangerous!

If those two machetes slashed its wings, I am afraid that it will be powerless to stop it, and it will be on the verge of death at once.

"Rare insect spirits?"

Ye Hanjun pulled up a smile that was not there.

The insect spirit called the "Mud Blade Mantis" is scarce in number and powerful in battle.

If the Grimace Moth relies on its signature skill "Scare Powder", it is a high-quality contract spirit in the eyes of the "insect keeper" and "insect catcher", with a minimum of 85 points.

Then this mud blade mantis can only win, with a sensitive speed, a terrifying outburst, and a blade that sharpens iron like clay, it combines the three advantages into one, and it can hover around 90 points.

"Uhhh

The Night Chill King summons the Flower Candle and is ready to go up and help at any time.

The clay blade mantis that suddenly appeared has the realm of clay sculpture perfection.

This is one of the most threatening individuals in the process of trapping bugs this time.

Although the Pink Ostrich's combat power has been strengthened, it has lost control and has limited attack methods, and I am afraid that it will not even be able to touch the worm armor of the mud blade mantis, so it can only be left to play and play.

"Moth, Tempest!"

"Whew-"

The ghostface moth flapped its wings, and a gust of wind swept by, restraining the mudblade mantis from trying to move forward, and successfully won the ostrich a chance to react.

"Ostrich, you can't go head-to-head with it, your flesh is not as sharp as its machete, just come and you may hurt your internal organs!"

Su Mei glanced at the cracked armor and was shocked.

She had just turned on the state of "Damage Reduction Gauntlet", and the mud blade mantis fell with a knife, and part of the injury was transferred to her own armor as soon as possible.

But the rest of them still cut the hair fiercely, cutting it nearly ten centimeters deep, and the blood that spurted out was by no means a small dose.

"Gah!!"

The pink ostrich did not obey the order, and at this time, it was stimulated by severe pain, and the only trace of sanity it had was lost.

Those eyes, as red as if they were about to drip blood, rushed up to the "spring kick", trying to kick the giant praying mantis to the tree.

"Brush—"

The gray light flashed, and the praying mantis flew up.

Yes! The Mud Mantis can fly low! This aspect is also one of the key factors for the score to reach 90 points!

"Tear up!!"

The Pink Ostrich's "Spring Kick" misses completely, but the "Instant Knife" with more than 80 lines of the Clay Blade Mantis hits perfectly.

Su Mei's protective armor exploded, and she snorted, hugging the ostrich's neck so that she could avoid being thrown off her back by her own contract spirit.

"Ga !!"

The second knife is far more painful than the first.

At the position of the side waist, blood gushed out, and the hair on the lower body was instantly wet with blood.

"Quack!!"

The great ostrich suddenly jumped to its feet, as if with all the strength of his life.

With a bang, it didn't hit the ground, and its right foot stepped into the void air, as if it was stepping on a piece of transparent glass, and it bounced higher again.

"Wait!"

Ye Hanjun called out to the flower candle in time, and his burning eyes were fixed on the ostrich.

Can't be wrong, this is "empty stepping", a not very powerful, but very practical skill, it is difficult for the spirit of the clay sculpture to have the opportunity to comprehend.

But this is not only the whole of the mutation, even the scene that Ye Hanjun was surprised by happened one after another.

Because the distance was too far, the Mud Blade Mantis didn't plan to dodge at first.

However, the ostrich uses the empty step to successfully leap closer, and the alert praying mantis instinct is about to dodge.

"Ga !!"

The pink ostrich, whose eyes bulged out of anger, bent one leg and stretched the other straight, actually spun in circles out of thin air, spinning faster and faster, spinning more and more violently, like a spinning top flying in mid-air, and after panning and flying out, it hit the breastplate of the mud blade mantis fiercely.

"Bang!!"

The careless mud blade mantis failed to dodge such a grotesque attack, crashing into a tree, the not very strong insect beetle shattered into a large hole, and there was also crimson blood gushing outward.

"Bang!!"

The second crunch sound, originating from Samui.

Because of the ostrich's sudden rotation, she couldn't stabilize her body.

A knight actually flew out from the back of the contract spirit, and when she was about to smash on a tree, a gust of wind swept by, and the flower candle appeared under her, her golden eyes condensed slightly, and a large amount of yellow sand rose into the sky, as a buffer layer after layer.

In this way, when Su Mei actually hit the tree, it was like accidentally falling, except for some pain in her shoulder and back, there was no broken bone injury.

"Mud! Mud!! ”

The mud-bladed mantis, which struggled to get up, was furious.

was about to rush forward, when he suddenly shivered at the pair of golden eyes of the flower candle.

Then, it made Shengping fly diagonally into the sky as fast as he could, regardless of his unbalanced body.

"Little moth, wing strike!"

Grimace poked its head out and struck the mudblade mantis in the back armor with a precise wing attack.

At the same time, the flower candle that floated in the air swung out a huge sand fist, and from top to bottom, it hammered the mud blade mantis from its flying posture to the ground with one punch.

"Mud ......"

The mud blade mantis, which was fast and powerful, but the body was not strong enough, rolled its eyes and fainted.

Night Hanjun walked slowly to its side, examined its injuries, observed its attribute panel, and said after a little deliberation:

"Li Jingming, the value of this guy is not in the material, but in the racial bloodline."

"Although there is no mark of the contract, the inability to sign the contract means trouble in a way."

"But this kind of insect is a family spirit, and it can indeed be cultivated as a supernumerary family spirit, do you want to try it, anyway, you won't suffer."

Li Jingming pursed his lips, and when he heard the words, he was thoughtful, and even more intentional.

"Gah!!"

The pink ostrich, which swayed and crawled up, was not yet out of its furious state.

It ignored the Sandstorm Witch or the Grimace Moth, and stared at the unconscious Mud Mantis, trying to rush over and stomp on its head to avenge the two swords.
