The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 352 - 176: Corpse Stench Demon Tubers and Mad Sheep_3

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Crazy Lamb charged back and forth, grinding those annoying vines like chopping off limbs, further suppressing the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers.

At the same time, its master kept throwing fire-attributed Explosion Talismans, causing fires constantly. After burning the vines and leaves, they inflicted overlapping pain on the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers.

"Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!"

Like most plant-based monsters, the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers moved slowly. Once they rooted during the battle, it was hard to change positions.

That said, these kinds of creatures benefit from abundant bloodline powers and vigorous vitality. To breach their defenses and harm their masters is not a task that can be accomplished quickly.

The battle turned intense for a while.

For a full ten minutes, the Crazy Lamb suppressed and beat the Corpse Stench Demon Tubers.

Just as the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber’s sword-shaped vines were mostly dismantled, newly grown vines were thinner and could not regenerate quickly.

The middle-aged hunter laughed grimly and tossed another Explosion Talisman.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A string of explosions, and the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber screamed like a baby, its injuries deepening again.

But at that moment, Bai Qin suddenly broke away from the protection of her Fond Spirit and charged out like a blood-streaked lightning bolt.

"Thunk!"

With a devastatingly swift stroke, she plunged her dagger into the side of the Crazy Lamb.

The hunter’s face turned pale. He knew that even if his Gang Qi was unexpectedly breached by the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber, he wouldn’t have shown such an expression.

"Scram!"

He brandished his dagger, attempting to drive her away.

The Crazy Lamb twisted violently, its four horns piercing through Bai Qin’s arm and then ricocheting through her internal organs.

But Bai Qin still didn’t pull away. Seizing this hard-earned opportunity, she crushed an amulet in one hand and once again summoned an Energy Dagger with her other, stabbing it into the Crazy Lamb’s belly again.

"Baa!!!"

The Crazy Lamb was shocked and angry. It kicked Bai Qin in the chest with its powerful hind legs.

Immediately, Bai Qin spat out a mouthful of crimson blood and staggered back into the protection of the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber, her vitality rapidly draining.

"Kill her, now!"

The middle-aged hunter bellowed, his murderous intent overwhelming, but a trace of trepidation still apparent on his face.

His gaze flickered to the two wounds on the Crazy Lamb. The blood wouldn’t stop flowing, and the wounds unnaturally spread from moderate to severe!

"Nice Wound Degradation, but I won’t let you live!!"

The Crazy Lamb charged ferociously, snapping most of the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber’s rooted tendrils and sending the plant soaring dozens of meters into the air.

"Thunk!"

Unbelievably, Bai Qin, soaked in blood, threw her dagger again.

This time... her dagger didn’t hit the Crazy Lamb!

But it grazed the middle-aged hunter’s ankle, leaving a bloody mark.

As the cut began to rapidly fester, within a few seconds, it had turned into a bone-deep gash.

The hunter’s cold sweat soaked his clothes. He was first stunned, and then fuming, his aura rising in ferocity, ready to fight to the end.

"If by any chance you escape today, I won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace after this!"

"Die! The Red Soil Swamp will be your burial ground! For all the people and beasts you’ve killed in your life, their souls will turn into vengeful spirits to haunt you!"

"Thunk!"

A dagger crossing a few dozen meters, embedded right into the hunter’s chest armor in his disbelief. A beautiful crimson bloom appeared on his chest.

"You..."

The blood bloom grew larger, the color intensifying.

The middle-aged hunter yanked out the dagger, tried to cover his chest wound to stop the blood flow.

But his attempts were feeble and futile.

After a struggling for a few seconds, he dropped dead from the back of the rampaging Crazy Lamb, his eyes wide open.

"Baa!!"

The Crazy Lamb might not have high intelligence, but how could it not feel hurt? How could it not feel pain at the loss of its long-time master?

Experiencing the backlash from the broken pact, it bled from every orifice, its spirit wilting away.

Driven by a last surge of fury, it pushed its crazy strength to the next level, charging at the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber over and over again!

...

Thud!

The down-to-earth hand-to-hand combat ended in Bai Qin’s victory.

However, the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber was still barely alive, not yet knocking on death’s door.

But Bai Qin was in a precarious situation. Even after taking the highly effective healing medicine, the body’s self-protection mechanism kicked in on its own.

She passed out and fell into a pool of blood. The shrunk Corpse Stench Demon Tuber tangled around her protectively, holding her tightly in its embrace like a mother safeguarding her child.

"That was truly brutal."

Ye Hanjun, who had been hiding in the shadows, revealed himself.

He took step after step towards the battlefield, startling the wounded Corpse Stench Demon Tuber. It brandished the few remaining sword-shaped vines in an attempt to fend off the suddenly appearing enemy.

But it was too injured. It didn’t even have a tenth of its peak strength, and even a few Rainbow Light Fetuses could tear it apart.

"Shh—"

Ye Hanjun made a shushing gesture towards the Corpse Stench Demon Tuber.

Being a plant-based monster, it was definitely much smarter than wild beasts even if it didn’t have a humanoid form.

Even if it hadn’t deliberately learned human languages, it could understand a lot from years of interaction.

Unfortunately, the state of its master was so precarious that it was nearing its limit, leaving no room for calm, only fear.

The spirit of protecting its master at all costs, regardless of the consequences, was blazing like a raging flame.

"I am a Demon Servant, using myself as a vessel, drawing upon the Bloodline Power of the Doomsday Messenger - Mo..."
