Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 236: The Power of Crown-level! The Battle Ends! (Second Update)

On a huge tree a few hundred meters away in front of Whale Gate.

Ever since he discovered that the Dazed Crow was injured, Su Hao’s eyes never left the interface.

“The Dazed Crow’s injuries have worsened.”

“Petrification injury. He must have encountered a Snake-Headed Demon skilled in petrifying light.”

“They seem to be still fighting? What enemy did they encounter?”

Su Hao was a little worried.

But he couldn’t know the situation in the distance, nor could he summon the three sprites back at the first sign of danger.

Perhaps they had a huge advantage and were chasing the enemy.

“The Electric Bear’s injuries are very mild. As for Butterfly… It’s just a little tired. It should be within my range of control… Eh?”

On the interface.

The state of the Electric Bear changed.

[Sprite: Lightning Bear]

[Status: Light injury, ◆ click to expand for details]

“There are many types of injuries on the Dazed Crow. Apart from petrification, there is also damage such as thunder, cuts from slicing, and so on.”

“But there’s only one type for Big Fat Bear. Its injuries are very similar to the Flaming Blade, and they are on its upper left arm.”

That was a secret signal!

Before setting off, he had made some secret signals to Butterfly.

Together with the injuries of the Dazed Crow…

“Sprite Commandeering: Summon!”

Su Hao spread his fingers. One and two marks appeared on his fingers. The next moment…

Buzz–

At the same time a large amount of soul power was consumed, space rippled, and a Big Fat Bear jumped out.

“Sob… Sob?”

It had only sold itself halfway when it discovered that it was actually on a tree branch dozens of meters tall.

The moment the weight pressed down, the tree branch shook. It hurriedly laid down, hugged the tree branch with both hands, raised its head, and looked at him with innocent and pitiful eyes.

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

This, probably, perhaps, is my mistake.

…

Within Whale Gate.

At the strategic command center.

In front of the rows of computers sat many warriors of Whale Gate.

Many of them weren’t Sprite Trainers, but they were an indispensable part of the whole Whale Gate battle area.

“The C156 and C169 wristbands have been out of signal for six days. Preliminary judgment suggests that something may have happened to the two Sprite Trainers.”

The warriors in the command center remained silent.

But they had experienced too many similar situations. Right now, they needed to analyze whether those two Sprite Trainers had sacrificed themselves or been captured alive.

It could trigger other changes.

The data converged bit by bit.

The first-hand intelligence of Sprite Trainers returning from the forest was also transmitted to them.

Suddenly…

A high-level warrior widened his eyes and looked at the few possibilities analyzed by data in front of him. He was immediately shocked.

He immediately applied for permission to check the situation of some of the wristbands.

…

“What, Demon Snake City might have a big operation? And they might have already set up a trap?” Heavenly King Wu asked.

“That’s right, it’s just nice that you’re here. Get ready immediately and follow behind the team secretly, just in case.” The principal added, “Don’t expose your Heavenly King-level identity, if…”

“I understand, no one will see me attack.”

“Also, find your junior as soon as possible.”

Heavenly King Wu acknowledged and left immediately.

The principal got up from his seat and went to the window, looking down at the vast forest of giant trees and the majestic city on the other side.

A powerful aura emanated from the old man.

For a moment, his back view became incomparably tall.

…

“Senior Wu?”

Su Hao, who had just climbed up the city wall, bumped into Senior Wu who was flying out.

Trading Puppet landed, and Senior Wu came in front of him. “It’s good that you’re back. According to the command center, there may be a big operation in Demon Snake City, and the enemy may use our sacrifice of the Sprite Trainer wristband to set up a trap. Don’t leave the city for the time being, stay on the city wall to assist…”

“Uh, Senior, you mean the distress signal trap?”

“Yes.”

“Are those two elite wristbands?”

“Yes… How did you know?”

“Could there be… a traitor?

“Because of the traitor, the enemy got the passcode of the wristband and set up a trap, wanting to nibble away at our Sprite Trainers one by one…”

Su Hao shared Butterfly’s guess (about 40%) with his own inference analysis (60%).

Then, he saw Senior Wu’s dumbfounded expression.

“How do you know everything, and even know more than me?!”

…

Giant Wood Forest, low altitude.

Trading Puppet brought along a few people and flew at an extremely fast speed.

In the back, several extraordinary-level sprites were using their special movement methods to travel.

They had to rush to that valley.

If they could win several master-level Sprite Trainers of Demon Snake City, it would already be a pretty good result for Whale Gate!

“There should be a Demon Snake Oracle among them who is qualified to command so many master-levels.”

“Oracle?”

“It’s a position in their tribe. The position of the Oracle is rather high, so they might know some secrets.”

Heavenly King Wu said, “Fortunately, you’re clever. Otherwise…”

He just didn’t expect that his little junior not only dodged the enemy’s encirclement, but also got first-hand intelligence.

Simply…

What the f*ck!

…

In the tree hole.

It had been a while since Butterfly saw any new information on its wristband.

They could only hear the occasional rumbling outside.

It felt that its spiritual force had already recovered a little, so it turned around and said to the Dazed Crow, “Gurgle ~”

“Squawk~!”

Crow shook its head and shook it, indicating that it wanted to follow along.

“Gurgle? Gurgle!”

The cover of the tree hole exploded with a boom. Butterfly’s figure flew out, and when it opened its eyes, it used “Eye of Nightmare”.

The two Demon Snake City sprites that made eye contact with it froze for two seconds before falling down.

Butterfly didn’t stop and flew straight towards the place where the battle waves were the strongest.

Behind it, the Dazed Crow that had caught up extended its wings and slashed at the two unconscious Snake-Headed Demons. It flew forward without looking back.

“Squawk~~~”

…

Boom~!

Boom~!

There was no length of time on the battlefield.

Under the flying flames of war, every second seemed especially long.

Ge Yang was a graduate of Whale Island University. He had already graduated three years ago. Ever since he graduated… Ever since he was in his third year of university, he had started to be a small soldier in the Whale Gate area.

Several years passed in a flash. In the second year after graduation, his Sky-Patterned Tiger broke through to the extraordinary level. Ge Yang also grew from a small soldier on the battlefield to a team leader of a small team.

In the past few years, he had also encountered countless dangers and had fallen into danger, but he had always successfully survived.

But today…

“Comrades, today we might…”

“But even if we die, we can’t let those barbarians from Demon Snake City get away with it!”

Ge Yang looked around.

The teammates looked exhausted. The protective barriers around their bodies were already very dim.

Further out, their sprites were fighting desperately, but they also fell one by one.

All that was left was the Sky-Patterned Tiger covered in wounds.

The heavily injured Thunder Lion King.

Elephant General who had lost an arm.

And that sprite, which he recalled, was named Butterfly Fairy.

“Gurgle~!”

Ge Yang heard the Butterfly Fairy call.

The cry didn’t seem desperate, but full of surprise?

I must be hearing things.

“Gurgle~!”

It called out, and the Sky-Patterned Tiger also roared. The desire to live seemed to have appeared in its eyes.

“Where are the reinforcements?”

Ge Yang thought.

Then, he heard rumbling sounds coming from the periphery. Flames and frost intertwined, and huge trees tilted and fell.

On the left, a Gargoyle Dragon rushed out and pounced towards an extraordinary Snake-Headed Demon.

On the right, rolling waves came attacking. On the huge waves was a Tide-Calling Spring Sprite. Its hands closed together, and countless water dragons flew out, forming a huge ball-shaped cage, trapping several Demon Snake City sprites.

The Demon Snake City sprites in the water ball struggled continuously and gradually suffocated.

Ge Yang was stunned.

Were there really reinforcements?

With a “gurgle”, thousands of soldiers and horses came to help? How did it know that someone was coming?

Rumble~!

The ground trembled, the aftershock raising strong winds, but Ge Yang discovered that an invisible force was protecting them. The shock wave was separated in front of them.

After surviving the calamity, he sat down on the ground.

At this moment…

He saw that Butterfly Fairy fly out, its body shrinking in mid-air, flying into the arms of a young man and falling asleep.

That person…

Was he the Sprite Trainer of Butterfly Fairy?

…

Su Hao looked at Butterfly in his arms, who was covered in wounds and very tired. His heart ached very much.

Halfway through, the Dazed Crow was summoned away by him in advance because its injuries were too serious.

At this moment, it was receiving treatment.

A Fairy Snail flew over riding a water dragon. Droplets of sparkling water landed on Butterfly.

He saw that the wounds on Butterfly’s body had faded a little.

“Thank you.”

He thanked it, and the Fairy Snail flew forward to treat the other sprites — to try to ensure the survival of those heavily injured sprites. As long as they didn’t die, they could all be saved after returning to Whale Gate!

Under the situation where more than half of the masters were dispatched from Whale Gate, in just a moment, the battle scales completely tilted.

Some Snake Demon City sprites died while others were injured.

Those people in leather armor also rode their sprites and escaped.

But they definitely couldn’t escape…

Suddenly!

A terrifying wave of air exploded in the air.

In Su Hao’s eyes, giant trees dozens of meters tall were crushed into powder amidst rumbling sounds.

It formed a blank area of hundreds of meters!

Over there, in mid-air.

Two sprites appeared.

A Trading Puppet.

The other was a Snake-Headed Demon with its hair hanging down to its waist. It held the sacrificial wand and floated in mid-air.

Monarch rank Snake-Headed Demon!

“Dragon Nation people, do you want a war!?”

A sharp voice came, but it couldn’t tell the direction and echoed in all directions.

Heavenly King Wu was not to be outdone. With the power of the Trading Puppet, he increased the volume.

It drowned out the enemy’s voice.

“Come on! Tsk!”

On the solidified wand of the monarch rank Snake-Headed Demon, countless yellow rays were suddenly emitted.

It was intercepted in mid-air by the psychic attack.

It exploded directly.

Boom~!

Rumble~!

Huge trees were affected, turning into the color of soil and rocks, and then shattered into countless rocks in the aftershock.

From time to time, hundreds of meters of ground would be lifted. Smoke and dust filled the air, covering the two sprites.

The power was more than ten times stronger than an extraordinary-level!

Su Hao sat on the other flying sprites and looked back. When he saw that terrifying scene, he was secretly shocked.

“Will the war between us and Demon Snake City break out just like that?”

“Probably… probably. Heavenly King Wu and that Heavenly King Demon Snake are restraining themselves, right?”

The other person on the flying sprite just said.

The battle waves coming from behind them became even fiercer, gusts of strong winds were chasing and hitting them.

The sprites sitting down flapped their wings and kept flying in the forest.

The battle waves gradually faded away.

After a long time, Su Hao returned to Whale Gate and looked behind.

The forest was vast, and there was no movement.

He was a little worried.

At this moment…

Whale Gate’s ear-piercing alarm had already sounded.

Sprite Trainers brought their sprites up the city wall and looked into the distance.

At this moment.

Su Hao saw that at the other end of the forest, a small black dot seemed to have appeared under the grand city.

The black dot was extremely fast, constantly enlarging in his vision.

He saw it clearly!

It was… a sprite that he couldn’t call out.

Its body was huge, it had nine long heads, and the hair color of each head was different.

It was like a Nine-Headed Snake, dyed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple… But Su Hao couldn’t laugh.

His heart pounded violently.

It was the pressure of the Nine-Headed Snake Demon!

He looked at the sky. As the Nine-Headed Snake Demon moved, the sky there darkened, as if it was the end of the world!

Suddenly…

The sunlight above their heads was also blocked.

Su Hao looked up suddenly and saw clouds and mist lingering above. There was a long shadow tumbling in the white mist.

It gradually revealed its appearance.

It had a body that looked like a snake and a dragon. It had no feet, and a pair of wings spread out on a third of its body.

Its figure flew, raising clouds and mist.

Half of the white clouds in the sky pressed down, turning into the shape of a tiger, a snake, and a dragon, pretending to pounce.

That was a sprite—Flying Mist Snake!

The principal’s trump card!

The two sprites were very far apart, facing each other in mid-air.

Half of it was shrouded in mist, while the other half was covered in dark clouds.

After confronting each other for more than ten minutes, just as the atmosphere became increasingly solemn, as if a big battle was about to break out, two of the heads of the Nine-Headed Snake Demon trembled imperceptibly. Then, it left without looking back.

Watching the snake demon leave, the Flying Mist Snake also gradually restrained its aura. With a flash, it disappeared into the clouds.
