Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 140: Beast Tide

A punch was thrown, faster and more ferocious than before, and once again, it hit the previously wounded spot on the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard.

This time, not only did more scales fall off and scatter, but quite a few also clung to bits of flesh and blood.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard howled in pain, forcibly stabilizing its body that had been sent flying.

Its gaze was fierce, a burning anger swirling within, seemingly constrained.

"Has he developed his Battle Spirit Form to the second phase?" Xiao Zhan asked in surprise.

The Battle Spirit Form was only the initial stage, which could be further developed and transformed.

But that was almost always linked to one’s realm.

Wu Ya and the others were only Fourth Grade, and they developed the second stage?

"This is not the second stage; it’s just that her talent is unique."

At that moment, Liu Xin spoke up.

Before Xiao Zhan could respond, she continued,

"Wu Ya’s Talent Skill is Bursting Fury; the higher her anger value, the stronger she gets. But there is one drawback; once the anger value gets too high, she will lose herself and suffer backlash."

"Over time, the damage becomes irreversible."

"And Xu Wen’s talent is ’A Little Clarity,’ which allows him to remain sober under any circumstances."

"It’s precisely because of their complementary talents that the two signed a Life and Death Contract. Otherwise, Xu Wen’s Grade A talent wouldn’t have caught Wu Ya’s eye."

"Now, this is just Wu Ya’s release of anger value."

After Liu Xin’s detailed explanation, Xiao Zhan understood.

"This demon beast is really tough to deal with," he could only comment with such sentiment.

"The tough ones haven’t even shown up yet."

Liu Xin suddenly said this.

Xiao Zhan knew what she meant and was just about to speak when suddenly, within his perception range, another demon beast appeared.

His heart tightened, and a bad premonition arose.

Has it attracted another demon beast so quickly?

Without a second word, Xiao Zhan took out a Lighting Bomb and shot it towards the direction of the demon beast.

It was a monkey-like demon beast shrouded in a grey aura, roughly the size of an ordinary monkey; the only difference was its exceptionally large eyes.

Two egg-sized eyes, set on its skinny face, imparted an eerie feeling.

Similar to an extraterrestrial being.

"Big-eyed Baboon, a Third Grade Demon Beast, weak in physical attack, but excels in mental illusions. One will fall under its control if they lock eyes with it, becoming a puppet at its disposal."

"Its weakness is also its eyes; once the eyes are damaged, the baboon becomes worthless instantly!"

Liu Xin immediately disclosed the features of this demon beast.

But after saying that, she felt something strange.

"The Big-eyed Baboon, although a Third Grade Demon Beast, is usually timid, hiding in the shadows and ambushing prey when they least expect it."

"But now, why is it so bold?"

"Strange, truly strange."

Xiao Zhan snorted coldly, Ye Youlong turned into the Death Demon Scythe in his hand, "No matter how strange it is, if it appears here, it must die!"

"And, I think it’s not timid at all!"

Indeed.

The Big-eyed Baboon was not timid at all; it moved swiftly among the tree branches, covering the thousand meters distance in just a few breaths, rapidly approaching Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan lifted the Demon Scythe, charging toward it without hesitation.

"Fatty, make sure to protect her!"

"Don’t lock eyes with it, also, there’s another weak point on its tail; sever its tail!" Liu Xin reminded Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan only relied on his eyes when fighting Ye Youlong; he never used them against others.

Death Aura was released.

Instantly, the Big-eyed Baboon demon beast was enveloped within it.

Upon saying that, Xiao Zhan rapidly advanced, his Demon Scythe gleaming coldly as he slashed at the Big-eyed Baboon’s tail. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Clang!

The strike unexpectedly missed!

Xiao Zhan increased his Perception frequency and realized that this Demon Beast’s eyes were not affected by the Death Aura at all.

Its eyes, like those of a cat, had dilated pupils that could see clearly even at night.

The scythe missed its mark.

This Big-eyed Baboon was also very agile, slapping towards Xiao Zhan with a paw that moved along the surrounding branches.

If it were someone else, they might have been smacked by it.

But unfortunately, it encountered Xiao Zhan.

With a lowered head and bent waist, the scythe on his back spun two and a half circles, returning the slap to it.

Smack!

Like a pancake, it was slapped away!

But this Demon Beast was still a Demon Beast; although small in size, it was tough and resilient, and the scythe didn’t cause it serious injury.

However, Xiao Zhan seized the moment to counterattack.

He dashed up to it in a few steps and directly used the Spirit Manipulation Technique Death Gaze!

Big eyes versus small eyes is no good, but small eyes versus big eyes work perfectly well.

In just an instant, the Big-eyed Baboon’s expression became stupefied.

Xiao Zhan took this chance, slashing down with his scythe, and the Big-eyed Baboon’s head was cut off in an instant.

The battle was clean and efficient.

This made Liu Xin’s eyes sparkle with appreciation, "I didn’t expect you to be so strong. You took down a Third Grade Demon Beast, and you’re just a Second Grade Spirit Master."

"There’s nothing surprising about it, it just happened to be a perfect counter to it."

"Counter or not, it still requires considerable personal strength to overcome a higher grade. After all, Demon Beasts of the same grade are much more formidable than Spirit Masters."

Xiao Zhan didn’t want to discuss these matters in detail.

He casually returned to his spot, observing the combat unfolding in the field.

At this moment, the battle involving Xu Wen and the others was also nearing its end.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard was inevitably slain, but at the cost of one death from Team One, two deaths from Team Two, and two from the Combat Department.

Five human lives were lost in exchange for the death of one Demon Beast.

And this was the result of Wu Ya playing her trump card right from the start.

Had she not made the right decision at the beginning, the casualties would likely have been greater.

Such was the power of the top-tier Hunters among Fourth Grade Demon Beasts.

Nothing like the Third Grade Big-eyed Baboon could compare.

"Rest in place for three minutes."

Wu Ya gave the order.

There was the smell of blood here now, and the commotion just now would certainly attract more Demon Beasts.

They had to find a new spot to settle.

But no sooner had she finished speaking, a trembling sensation suddenly spread from under everyone’s feet, like an earthquake was happening.

Leaves rustled.

Birds of prey flew off in panic from afar.

A bad premonition enveloped everyone.

Xiao Zhan hadn’t even had the chance to release his Perception Skill when a deep, thunderous voice came from the center of the forest, as if from ancient desolate mountains, directly shaking everyone to their souls!

With this voice’s rise.

The surrounding woods became restless, the ground’s tremors intensified, rumbling violently, as if something was running out from the center of the forest.

"Not good, it’s a beast tide!"

"Damn it, how could there be a beast tide here!"
