Ascension

Chapter 28 Amulet

"Turn around here, there is a small road, and it will take about 10 minutes."

Jiang Haowen looked around while answering, his yellow pupils shone with fluorescence, as if he could see farther through the dense bushes.

The green-eyed owl on his shoulder was not idle either, his neck kept turning around, and he would stare at the sky from time to time, focused and absent-minded.

All the details and features further locked Lord Ye Han's judgment.

Jiang Haowen's authority is "scout"!
"Hey, Xiaomeng, look to the right."

"Fifty meters to the right, in front of that dark green tree, do you see it?"

Following Jiang Haowen's slightly surprised voice, Jiang Meng turned his head to look around, and an expression of interest immediately appeared on his pretty face.

"Is that a candle kid? It's so small, it's too young!"

"It should not be young, but the soul body has been injured, and the original source has been seriously damaged."

Jiang Haowen shook his head, "It's a pity, this is also a high-quality spirit species."

"If a family head with an ordinary family can sign a contract, he might be able to jump up the ranks in the future."

"But it's just useless. I estimate that there is a relatively high possibility that part of the soul body will be swallowed up by stronger ghost-type spirits. Although it does not die, it will be permanently disabled."

Jiang Meng murmured thoughtfully:
"I have read in the book that this kind of injury involving the origin seems to be extremely difficult to heal."

"Even if a lot of resources are invested, it does not mean that 100% can return to a healthy state, and there will be many unexpected sequelae."

"Yes." Jiang Haowen praised, "Such as slow growth, such as being unable to ascend, such as being mentally disabled..."

"Having said that, in fact, people who have this resource will not be willing to invest in it from the very beginning after weighing the pros and cons."

"They have a way to find a better contracted spirit. There is no need to wander around in a dead end and do things that are thankless."

"I've learned a lot." Jiang Meng nodded slowly, his eyes flickering with thought.

Mr. Yehan glanced at it, lacking interest.

This type of ghost of the underworld can then ascend and evolve into a "candle ghost". At most, it has a little potential, and it is far from the high quality in his mind.

"Wow—"

The moonlight is like water, swaying the night sky.

The buzzing of insects whispering all around has never stopped, and from time to time there are grotesque nocturnal creatures that drill out of the soil and bounce off the branches.

Most of them lack arms and legs, and they have reached the realm of being a clay sculpture, and their personalities tend to be timid and cowardly.

Probably because humans are often seen on weekdays, and the staff of the rescue center will feed them regularly. Only these non-aggressive spirits are eligible to roam freely without worrying about harming others.

Lord Yehan's eyes... narrowed slightly!
The hands that folded the arms were not put down, only the lazy legs were slightly adjusted to fit the ground better.

There is killing intent.

Even if it is very faint, only a negligible wisp, but the killing intent is the killing intent!
Mr. Yehan didn't act rashly, he didn't even look around, he didn't want to alert the lurkers.

He pretended to be blinded by the wind and sand, and closed his eyes while rubbing them.

The perceptual power that had been suppressed all the time suddenly poured out like a flood without reservation.

"boom--"

With a radius of 300 meters, every plant, every tree, every flower and every tree turns into layered phantoms, intertwined in the world of the soul.

They are illusory, but real, even if the breeze blows and blows off a leaf, the leaves swirl and fall... the details as fine as a hair will be firmly captured by Mr. Yehan.

"Xiaomeng, remember that although the candle imp is a spirit of the underworld, he belongs to the ghost sect."

"But it also has the attribute of fire. The candlelight above its head can activate the fire magic skills. If you encounter an intact candle imp in the wild, you must be careful..."

The voice did not fall.

Mr. Ye Han, who had closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, stretched out his palms forward, and pushed hard.

"Ah!" Jiang Meng, who was standing sideways towards him, was already in a state of listening intently, completely defenseless.

She lost her balance and fell to the other side in an instant, looking into Lord Ye Han's eyes in a hurry, full of bewilderment and puzzlement.

"Shh!!!"

A big black claw with a fishy wind swung down at an incomparable speed. Because the distance was too close, the sound of piercing the air almost tore the eardrums.

The confusion receded, and the fear started from the heart, spread to the whole body, and boiled to the brain.

Jiang Meng, who fell firmly to the ground, didn't care about the mud staining the beautiful pink skirt, the muscles around her cheeks became stiff, the blood seemed to be stagnant, her tongue was bitten, and she couldn't make a sound.

"Goo!!!"

The green-eyed owl was severely frightened and frantically flapped its wings, only to soar into the air for the first time.

Jiang Haowen's eloquent voice stopped abruptly, and his face turned white instantly.

In a certain interval of time, he was like a corpse that had lost its soul, and the only reflection in his eyes was the fear of freezing his soul.

The next second, he came back to his senses, his pupils trembled, and he asked an unbelievable rhetorical question:

"Lone, Lone Shadow Wolf?!"

"Shua—" The big claw swiped in the air with a blow, and there was a slight pause, which seemed a little unexpected.

When I looked again, a cluster of black shadows flashed backwards, and an unusually fierce and vigorous monster appeared a hundred meters away.

That is a wolf.

A black wolf.

Its body was more than three meters tall, and its whole body was covered with protruding tendons. It was hard to imagine what kind of destructive power it could cause when the power contained in it exploded.

At this time, it is in the most standard attacking posture - its hind legs are straightened, its front legs are bent to the sides, its head is lowered, and it is ready to launch and sprint at any time.

And that evil red pupil, although there is only one.

With the grinning and ferocious expression, no one will doubt that it is a wild beast.

"how is this possible……"

Jiang Haowen's legs trembled, unable to comprehend this unimaginable scene, he sucked in the cold and murmured:
"As a dangerous spirit, the Lone Wolf has no right to move freely, and has always been restrained in a corner of this floor...I saw it with my own eyes last time!"

"How is it possible...how could it escape...this is not normal!"

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

Jiang Haowen still had time to be in a daze, but Ye Hanjun was expressionless, directly activating the emergency function in his personal badge.

In an instant, a piercing siren sounded, and countless black crows flew from the bushes around him, flying desperately in all directions.

"It has advanced, it is not the clay sculpture you mentioned Dacheng, it has already reached the realm of consummation."

Mr. Yehan glanced at the right hind leg of the giant wolf, unable to stand upright, and the jet-black hair was stained with a lot of blood.

A metal chain as thick as an arm is still bound at the ankle, the other end of the chain has been broken, and there are obvious cutting marks on the cross section.

When the giant wolf grinned again, blood dripped from its mouth.

There are also a lot of dirty blood and bloody footprints splashed down during the attack.

There is no doubt that the lone wolf paid no small price and violently broke free from its restraints to return to freedom.

"The injury is very serious, less than one-fifth of the heyday, can we delay it with confidence?"

Mr. Yehan stood still, holding the vampire dagger with one hand, and made a faint defensive posture.

Can't escape, can't escape.

This is a savage spirit who is good at speed, with strong muscles and explosiveness.

Under the premise of being regarded as prey, neither Jiang Meng nor Lord Ye Han could escape the hunting distance.

The only one he could count on was Jiang Haowen.

"I'm not its opponent, but it should be able to delay for a while."

At the critical moment, Jiang Haowen calmed down and did not let Mr. Ye Han look down on him any further.

He gritted his teeth, took out a stone-shaped object from his arms, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood.

"Wow~~~"

The brilliance flowed, and a circle of translucent barrier spread to three meters around the body, barely covering Yehan Jun and Jiang Meng together.

Almost as soon as the barrier was formed, the black shadow flashed again and rushed in front of him.

When the giant claw fell, the sound of piercing through the air was heard, which was soul-stirring.

Lord Yehan frowned slightly, Jiang Haowen had been on the road of being a lord for a year, and the life-saving thing he carried with him was even worse than Su Mei's guardian ant bracelet.

With just one tearing of the claws, the barrier cracked, and the strength was lower than expected.

"Hey, the last mission, the better treasure was consumed, and I haven't had time to replenish it..."

Jiang Haowen was sweating profusely, his face was as pale as Mr. Yehan's.

"Barely, it should be able to block three or five times, right?"

"Hiss... Emerald Treasure, it's up to you, quickly attract its attention, and don't let it pass unhindered!"

"Cuckoo!"

The green-eyed owl responded, hovering a hundred meters in the air, and swooped down bravely.

"Shh-"

The Lone Shadow Wolf was too fast, even if he was seriously injured, he looked like an erratic ghost when he actually acted.

It jumped up with the help of trees and easily jumped to a height of tens of meters.

The green-eyed owl, which was attacking with its wings slashing, couldn't help screaming in horror when its sharp claws that shone with cold light grabbed it violently.

The only thing he can do is to fold his wings with all his life, and narrowly escape the surprise attack of the wolf's claws.

"It's too fast and too strong, it's not an opponent at all..."

Jiang Haowen clutched his chest, both frightened and anxious.

The green-eyed owl is his contracted spirit, and if he dies on the spot, this rescue center will be the place where his heart breaks.

Going one step further, if the green-eyed owl is killed in battle, without any harassing spirits, the lonely shadow wolf tears through the barrier and goes straight to the front... how many more breaths will it take?
"very scary……"

Jiang Meng, who barely stood up, subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ye Hanjun's clothes, shivering.

She couldn't even see the battle outside the barrier, she could only hear the whistling wind and suppressed roars, cutting through the lonely night again and again.
