Chapter 417: The Hide and Seek Time Ends Here
"Are you still going to continue?" Jiang Yan glanced at the shadow leopard not far away, which was hit by Xiaobai's heavy punch, and asked kindly again: "Your elf is not very strong."
The physical fitness of the shadow leopard is not outstanding among the phantom beast species. After losing the resistance to physical strikes by the shadow body, it only suffered a heavy injury after just taking Xiaobai's punch.
If you punch a few more times, you will be seriously injured. If the contract elf is too severely injured, the contract master will be divided into damage, not to mention that Jiang Yan doesn't look like a person who doesn't care about the life or death of the contract elf.
After all, this is also an elite in the second echelon. Now that the shadow leopard has been trained to the military level, its future potential has some value that continues to be expected.
Unfortunately, the other party did not accept Jiang Yan's kindness.
"No! It's not over yet!" The girl looked at Youyingbao and happened to look at him with the other party's eyes. Although she didn't say anything, she had read its determination from Youyingbao's eyes.
Nodded, the girl shouted: "Then let's try it! Rabbi!"
The shadow leopard still didn't make any sound. It didn't seem like the kind of elves who liked to inspire momentum through roars, but his entire shadow body immediately responded. The dark spiritual power burst out and turned into a large ball of black mist, which instantly covered Xiaobai and was still spreading around quickly.
"Mi?!" Xiaobai's scream came from the black fog. It seemed that he was slightly startled by this sudden change.
"Is this... creating an environment that is beneficial to you?" Jiang Yan asked interestingly as he looked at the foggy area in front of him that covered the radius of more than ten meters, with a height of four or five meters, but it was solid and undispersed.
"That's right!" Although I couldn't see it, the voice of the girl opposite was still clearly heard, and her tone was filled with a hint of urgency: "In this way, within the scope of this field, the 'shadow' is everywhere! Now, it is my rabbi's home court!"
It sounded like the other party had some confidence in the voice, but Jiang Yan was still very sensitive and could hear a little nervousness and a little fatigue.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan understood the key: "It is indeed a useful ability, but I think it is a huge burden for you to maintain this shadow field, right? Can the consumption of spiritual power be sustained?"
The shadow black mist continued to spread, completely swallowing the girl's figure, and soon spread towards Jiang Yan.
A firm sentence from the girl came from inside: "It's enough to support you!"
The girl's voice seemed to have been processed by some means, or the effect of the shadow black fog was brought by the sound source as if it was coming from all directions, and she could not be inferred from this.
But I think she must be no longer in her original position.
"Is that true?" Jiang Yan shrugged and did not resist, allowing the dark fog that had spread in front of him to "swallow" him together.
Dodging is meaningless. It seems that the girl and the shadow leopard are really staking their energy consumption, spreading the shadow black fog to the planned combat area in the center of the exercise field to the greatest extent. Although Jiang Yan estimated that the other party would not be able to spread the black fog to the entire exercise field, now in the assessment, he, the examiner, cannot "leave" first, right?
Puff—
In the shadow fog where his eyes were completely blocked, Jiang Yan heard a sound not far ahead, as if he had cut a piece of flesh with his sharp claws.
"Mi——?!" At the same time, Xiaobai's screams also sounded.
"Assassination in the shadow?" The so-called black fog obstructs the line of sight, which has no effect on Jiang Yan. He has too many ways to penetrate this obstruction. After letting go of his perception, Jiang Yan understood what happened just now.
With the help of this shadow area that spread out, the shadow leopard was completely like a fish in water, almost achieving a super moving ability that was almost teleported. At this moment, the figure was elusively attacking Xiaobai.
It appeared on the side of Xiaobai the previous second and waved a claw, and then appeared on Xiaobai's back. Another claw was covered with dark spiritual power. The sharp claws covered with darkness also received a huge increase in attack power in the shadow-covered environment. With one claw, it could tear Xiaobai's body a few huge scars that were enough to cut directly into the human body.
If Xiaobai had not had a special physical nature and would not have been a fatal core like the ordinary Slime, and the injuries he suffered could be reorganized and repaired quickly, he would have been dismembered long ago.
Puchi pudchi... In the depths of the dark fog, the sound of sharp claws cutting flesh and blood became increasingly dense.
With the enhancement of the shadow environment, the shadow leopard's stealth displacement ability was improved to the extreme, and the frequency of attacks fell faster and faster, just like several of them besieging Xiaobai at the same time. Gradually, the recovery speed of the torn wounds began to fail to keep up with the speed of the other party's creation of new wounds.
Even after the claws covered with a dark spiritual light of the shadow leopard fell, there would always be some spiritual power of the same color remaining on the wound on Xiaobai's body, which obviously hindered the healing of its wound. Even if this thing would be quickly dispelled by Xiaobai's own stronger spiritual power, it would take a little time, and the efficiency of wound repair is dragged down.
"Mi!!"
Xiaobai screamed angrily, and his huge hands waved repeatedly to grab the guy beside him who was harassing him like a fly. Although it could be repaired continuously if his body was injured, since this guy could enjoy human food, it means that his senses were still normal, and the pain during injury naturally existed. Even if the pain was far less than that of normal creatures, Xiaobai felt even worse after such a dense frequency was superimposed.
It feels like when one or two ants crawl on you, you may not care much about the touch, but if it were hundreds and thousands of ants crawl around on your skin at the same time? It won’t be a wonderful feeling if you think about it.
However, at best, this made Xiaobai feel a little uncomfortable. Jiang Yan is still not worried about the current situation. Even if the other party wisely 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 though the attacking rhythm of the shadow leopard rose to its limit later, it actually tore Xiaobai into pieces with its claws, it only made more than a dozen Slime splitting bodies of different sizes on the field.
Maintaining this dark 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's pretty face turned pale due to excessive spiritual power consumption. The shadow leopard could no longer maintain the super-high frequency "multiple flash + backstab" style of playing, and had to lurk back into the depths of the black fog.
As releasers of the Shadow Black Mist, they naturally will not be obstructed by the sight line of the black fog environment. Therefore, the girl easily synchronized the Shadow Leopard's perspective through contract links through the help of some elves, and "sees" her own battle results.
The dozen or so large and small slime splitting bodies were gathering together at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, a stream of sizzling sounds were constantly coming from the bodies of these splitting bodies. You could also vaguely see silver-white spiritual light appearing in the dark black fog, which was very eye-catching.
After each sniff, the girl could sense that part of the remaining spiritual power that the shadow leopard hit the opponent's body would disappear simultaneously.
"It's really difficult..." Faced with such a difficult opponent who is fine if you're beaten to pieces, the girl is really helpless.
She had already known that the other party had a very high resistance to physical strikes, so the attack of the shadow leopard just now was not limited to the simple physical level. Just like Xiaobai had attached high-density spiritual power to his fist to deal with the shadow leopard's "shadow body" state before, the shadow leopard's sharp claws also blessed a large amount of spiritual power when attacking.
But there is a major premise for this method, that is, the gap between the spiritual power between the two sides cannot be too large. Obviously, the spiritual power of the Youying Leopard does not have any advantage at all when facing Xiaobai.
Since Slime is so difficult to deal with, the girl naturally wanted to directly target Jiang Yan, who is the master of the contract.
However, Jiang Yan was beyond her expectations of caution. As soon as the girl let the shadow leopard approach the other party, Jiang Yan seemed to be alert. Suddenly, she stomped her feet, and ice walls rose out of the land around her body, protecting him heavily.
If it was just an ice wall, the girl was confident that she would let the shadow leopard find a gap to break through with the characteristics of the shadow body's wall penetration. However, 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 his body!
Moreover, this set of ice crystal armor is obviously much more perfect than the half-baked half-body armor that Zoro used before, including helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, skirt armor, leg guards, combat boots... Jiang Yan's ice crystal armor is fully covered, and all positions are strictly protected from top to bottom, without any vital exposure at all.
This made the girl's eyes twitch slightly. The ice crystal armor was essentially made of ice. This guy was wearing so much, so he wasn't afraid of being frozen?
Well, in fact, she was obviously thinking too much. Jiang Yan's ice crystal armor is not a remnant product like Zoro, which will keep falling ice powder and ice residue after it condenses.
With super micro-level control, Jiang Yan created the ice crystals that he could condense all the ice energy without evaporation or waste as long as he wanted. It would reach a level where even ordinary people would not feel cold even if they touch these ice crystals with their hands. There was naturally no way to start with frostbite.
Although she knew that the layer of ice crystal armor was probably difficult to deal with, the girl still asked her shadow leopard to test it, but she was cheated.
The shadow leopard, who was about to lurk in through the shadow body, actually hit a layer of invisible warning barrier between the ice walls. The strong spiritual reaction directly exposed its position. Then, the next moment, a large number of ice bayonets rushed out of the ice wall, piercing the location of the shadow leopard.
If the shadow leopard hadn't been alert enough and had decisively withdrawn at full speed when he found something wrong, he would probably not have ended up well. The ice crystal bayonets were covered with a thick layer of ice blue spiritual power, which was almost the same level as the spiritual armor on the snow-white slime fist before. The shadow leopard had no doubt that if he stayed there, even if he was in the shadow body, he would have been seriously injured in an instant, and even fell into a state of ice blockage.
It is obvious that Jiang Yan, the master of the Confidence, is also not easy to mess with, mainly because his defense is somewhat unsolvable for the shadow leopard. He is better at stealth and assassination, and lacks the high-power attack method that can forcibly break through the opponent's ice crystal protective layer.
The girl thought for a while and tried to test the information from Jiang Yan: "Hey, your elf seems to be able to repair your body without limit, but in fact, it requires energy consumption every time, right?"
"Guess?" But Jiang Yan gave her an unspeakable answer, and the expression on her face was always smiling, and outsiders could not tell the depth at all.
It's so incredible!
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. It would be a bit boring. Why not end it earlier? How about you just admit defeat?"
"Hmph, don't think about it!" the girl refused without hesitation.
If she admits defeat so easily, she and Youyingbao will always feel that it is not worth it.
"Is that true?" Jiang Yan shrugged, then suddenly smiled: "I said, you wouldn't think that you can continue to delay with this black fog, right?"
The ability of the shadow leopard is really troublesome. If it keeps hiding with the help of shadows, Jiang Yan will find it difficult to quickly solve the other party unless he exposes more trump cards.
But even if you don't use other means such as superpowers to cheat, Jiang Yan almost locked in the girl's trace.
So, he decided to take the initiative to launch an offensive to end the battle.
"Okay, the time to play hide and seek has ended here."
"Oh? What do you mean..." the girl asked in confusion, but just after she said half a sentence, a chill suddenly rushed to her senses.
Danger warning?!
——No! This is not a psychological chill, but a real literal chill!
It turned out that at some point, a snow-white slime split body the size of a ball actually touched her back. At this time, it was instantly transforming into an ice blue color, and a small cannon barrel was formed on the surface of the body. An ice bullet with a fist-sized frost accompanied by a trace of frost and cold air was sprayed out from the cannon barrel and hit the girl's back!
The cold air contained on the ice bomb made the air wherever it passed along the way condense into frost-white ice particles, making people doubt that if they were hit, at least half of the girl's body would be sealed by the spreading cold air.
‘When?!’ She didn’t expect that the girl who was hidden in the dark fog would be exposed. She was shocked but she couldn’t speak up. She couldn’t catch up with any other protective measures. She could only shout anxiously in her heart: ‘Rabbi!!’
The next moment, a ball of shadow appeared from the ground, quickly condensed into a leopard shadow, and immediately poked out a claw covered with dark light, and finally slapped the ice bomb away the moment it fell on the girl's back.
The ice-blue little slime that fired the ice bomb and continued to finish the shot. The shadow leopard once again poked out another claw and teared it at it, grabbing it into a ball of fragments while sweeping it away with the strong wind formed by the waving claws to prevent the little slime from continuing to threaten the girl with its "undead body".
The best way is to prevent such enemies from getting close to the girl!
The girl touched her back just because the strong cold air spread when the ice bomb approached, and then looked at the shadow leopard's frosty white claws that had been covered with frosty white claws after slapping the ice bomb. She couldn't help but feel scared.
"Rabbi!" But now is not the time to be glad. The girl hurriedly greeted her. The knowing shadow leopard asked her to sit on her back, and took the girl to jump a few times and left this position, hiding in the depths of the shadow black fog again.
"Mi—?"
Sure enough, as expected, the girl and the shadow leopard soon discovered that a few seconds later, Xiaobai's body, waving a pair of giant fists, appeared in the position she was just now, and glanced at the surroundings with some regret.
Before the girl could feel at ease, she felt a little more heartbeat again - the snow-white slime actually smiled mischievously, then suddenly turned around, and her two giant arms turned into two cannon barrels that were seventy or eighty centimeters thick and several meters long, and the next moment the snow-white cannon barrels turned into ice blue tones!
告告告告告...
The cannon barrel shook slightly, and two ice bombs that were as big as a washbasin were wrapped in a rich cold air, and were whistling out with strong spiritual fluctuations, and they were very precisely hitting the girl's position at this moment! (To be continued)
