The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 447 - 208: The First of the Ten Talents, Change of Ownership! _2

"Nangong Kailang!"

"Nangong Bukailang!"

"We are——the Bug Catchers!"

A tall and skinny bamboo pole and a short and chubby block of a man shout their odd catchphrase, charging fearlessly into battle.

Many students shrink a little at their approach, the Nangong surname is known to belong exclusively to the nobility of the Grass Frog Country. The uniquely identifiable names of Nangong Kailang and Nangong Bukailang left a deep impression after only one mention.

"Watch out! These two brothers are powerful! They’ve visited Blue Mountain City more than once or twice!"

"According to the information scroll given by General Huang, in several past sieges, the Nangong brothers have slain four of our high-ranking leaders. The two together can even match up to our main general! Do not underestimate them!"

Gu Feizhou shouted out a warning while the Swift Light Bat flew quickly around, helping the students exterminate the first wave of stragglers.

"Hahaha, little brother, our reputation precedes us!"

"Hahaha, big brother, it’s not renowned enough. Once we brothers take down Blue Mountain City, that’s when everyone will know our names!"

Nangong Kailang and Nangong Bukailang were both very cheerful.

They were both decked out in silk and satin, extremely ornate clothing. One was riding atop a ’Super Hard Beetle’, which had reached Jade Infant Great Completion, and the other was nestled within the shell of a Jade Infant Great Completion ’Ultra Soft Beetle’. The sight of their contrasting physiques, instantly made them the eye-catching focus on the battlefield.

"Hey, Captain Han, it’s my turn to make a move now, right?"

Lin Pingfan was eager to get started, eyeing Ye Hanjun’s profile awaiting his command.

"Go ahead."

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, showing no intention of joining the fray himself, and instead put the task of tackling these two well-coordinated adversaries in the hands of this deputy general.

"Pipi, attack!"

Lin Pingfan shouted, not moving a muscle under his feet. However, his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirit, the Gluttony Ghost, lunged towards the two brothers.

"Hehehehe~~~"

The Gluttony Ghost let out a strange laughter, its sac-like body twisted and turned, ejecting a red ghostly soul.

It was also a ghost, moreover, an evil ghost, its body was aflame, and the flickering light it emitted gave off a dangerous aura.

"Boom!!"

The Self-destruction Ghost approached the Ultra Soft Beetle and exploded on the spot.

The powerful blast wave instantly halted the Ultra Soft Beetle in its tracks, and the nearby Super Hard Beetle was also affected, forced to adopt a defensive stance.

"What kind of filthy creature is this! Get lost!!"

Nangong Bukailang was not so cheerful anymore.

He looked around and found that the Gluttony Ghost had disappeared, yet he could feel a spine-chilling sense of danger coming from behind him.

"Boom! Boom Boom!!"

Two more Self-destruction Ghosts exploded in an instant.

Waves of fire swept over the Ultra Soft Beetle, causing it to let out a distressed cry as it rolled on the spot.

Unlike the Super Hard Beetle, which had a hard shell to fend off attacks, its body was soft. Any blows dealt to it felt like hitting cotton, leaving it unable to exert any force.

Employing such sickening tactics, the two brothers combined with the Jade Infant Perfection could leave anyone in a bind.

"Hehehehe~~~"

As the Ultra Soft Beetle was engulfed in flames, its focus trailed off. Seizing the opportunity, the Gluttony Ghost popped up from underneath it and charged into the beetle’s body.

As a pure ghost entity, it was barely affected by physical attacks unless faced with a significantly superior enemy.

At equal levels, the beetle’s bite or scream had almost no effect on the Gluttony Ghost, it was like being tickled.

The anxious Super Hard Beetle, eager to help, ran in circles but couldn’t figure out where to attack.

The Gluttony Ghost...had disappeared!

More accurately, it had used the ’Ghost Possession’ skill, forcibly suppressing the Ultra Soft Beetle’s spirit and then forcefully took over its body.

"Rustle rustle rustle..."

The Ultra Soft Beetle rolled around, spitting out its perfectly protected master lodged within its back shell.

Nangong Bukailang’s reaction was quick; he immediately activated an amulet, forming a protective barrier.

And so, the Gluttony Ghost controlled Ultra Soft Beetle clumsily charged towards the Super Hard Beetle in a clunky manner.

Of course, it caused no real damage, but the Super Hard Beetle, which had grown alongside it, was loath to open its fierce jaws and only wanted to defend passively, refusing to attack proactively.

"Bastards, what kind of filthy creature is this! Such an annoying skill!!"

Nangong Kailang was also no longer upbeat.

It was evident that neither of them had experience dealing with ghost-type enemies. They were so arrogant when they first entered the battlefield, but now they were extremely cautious, stuck in a quandary.

Lin Pingfan, hands behind his head, looked on cheerfully, without hatching any battle plans at all.

He had faith in the Gluttony Ghost. After so many years of companionship, instinct told him how to tackle each kind of enemy, and didn’t require any excessive instructions.

"Hehehehe~~~~"

When the time came, the Gluttony Ghost separated from the Ultra Soft Beetle, reappearing in front of the Nangong brothers.

By then, the Ultra Soft Beetle seemed like it had been in a fierce battle for days and nights, losing most of its energy, and the look in its tiny compound eyes was full of exhaustion and panic.

The Super Hard Beetle was in a slightly better state. It hadn’t been injured much, but the mental pressure was enormous.

It tried to get angry, but its wildly waving insect arms were readily absorbed by the Gluttony Ghost, making it seem like it had been punching the air for half the day, unable to inflict meaningful wounds.

"Switch to elemental attacks!"

"Sima Cao, this pest is for you to deal with, hurry up and come over!!"
