Free Web NovelAppearing before Mingxi was a slender, pitch-black mantis-like Transcendent creature, with antennae and a tail made of smoke.
Blade Ghost Mantis, a Shi-level Bug and Ghost-type Transcendent creature!
As a Shi-level pet beast, the Blade Ghost Mantis was not large, only about 2 meters tall.
This was a characteristic of the Blade Ghost Mantis: sacrificing its own size to enhance its speed and the sharpness of its mantis blades!
She hadn't expected it.
No one had expected it.
Ji Gang had not contracted just 5 pet beasts, but 6!
Wrong!
The Beastmaster Association's mission description was wrong!
"No wonder..."
Mingxi suddenly understood, instantly realizing why Ji Gang had eluded capture all these years.
Most likely, it was because of this Blade Ghost Mantis, whose invisibility even the Youhuang Underworld Butterfly, a fellow Ghost-type pet beast, couldn't see through!
This Blade Ghost Mantis probably not only possessed the invisibility characteristic but also knew the skill 'Stealth,' and its proficiency was extremely high.
Stealth, a high-level Normal-type skill, conceals one's form and aura, integrating oneself with the surrounding environment, but it becomes visible when encountering a skill attack or initiating one.
In other words, it can only stealth in a non-combat state.
If the Stealth skill is combined with the Ghost-type's invisibility characteristic, it can achieve a level where even other Ghost-types cannot detect its presence.
With such a pet beast constantly hidden in the dark, ready to launch a sneak attack on enemies at any moment, Ji Gang was able to remain at large!
Mingxi secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
Because she didn't want to expose the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform and attract unnecessary trouble, and also wanted to ensure Lan Yue's safety in this battle.
So, when she appeared just now, she had disassembled the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform and put it back on Lan Yue's bingji bell.
Although the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform in its magatama state cannot form a lasting defensive shield, it can automatically activate a one-time protection when Lan Yue encounters a fatal danger.
Since she couldn't refuse Lan Yue participating in this level of battle, what she could do was maximize its safety.
This was her attitude as a Beast Tamer.
"Leilei!"
"Ice Extremity!"
Realizing that their Beast Tamer had almost died again, Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue were furious!
Extreme indignation quickly bloomed in their clear blood-red eyes and cold blue pupils.
Golden Yuanbao's Wing Slash had finished charging.
The massive sword, as overbearing as a sky-piercing pillar, slashed down towards the Blade Ghost Mantis.
This sword strike was different from before.
For on its sharp blade, composed of wind energy, there was also a layer of golden-white electric current entwined.
Faintly visible.
Yet carrying an exceptionally powerful aura.
This was a combination skill Golden Yuanbao had figured out on its own after being stimulated by its little brother.
It had really tried hard.
Mingxi named it Wind Wing Electric God Slash!
Composed of the two high-level skills Wing Slash and Ten Million Volts, its destructive power was roughly double the sum of the two skills, but its success rate was extremely low.
Succeeding twice out of a hundred attempts would be considered a miracle.
After analysis by Mingxi and Guangguang, combined with Lan Yue's successful experience with Icefire Weave Gate.
The reason the success rate of the Wind Wing Electric God Slash combination skill was so low was likely because the skill proficiency of Ten Million Volts was too low, and the gap in proficiency with Wing Slash was too large.
Once the proficiency of Ten Million Volts improved, the success rate should greatly increase.
Golden Yuanbao's ability to successfully cast Wind Wing Electric God Slash this time was probably... pure dumb luck.
"Clang!"
"Boom!"
The Wind Wing Electric God Slash collided with the Blade Ghost Mantis's mantis blades, emitting a fierce explosion.
The Blade Ghost Mantis felt its arms go numb from the shock.
Even more horrifying to it was the clear cracking sound of its mantis blades ringing in its ears.
This was also because the effect of Liusui Elf's Wish Flowing Years skill had worn off.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a cracked blade, but completely shattered!
"Rustle..."
Just as the Blade Ghost Mantis was in a state of panic, a bone-chilling wind invaded its abdomen.
It was Lan Yue's Freezing Wind.
Golden Yuanbao attracted the Blade Ghost Mantis's attention, while Lan Yue circled behind to ambush.
Although its Freezing Wind had a negligible effect on the Blade Ghost Mantis, even if it could only freeze the opponent for half a second, that was enough.
"Thunder!"
The feather chains on Golden Yuanbao's tail wildly danced.
Skill: Whip Shadow Three Thousand!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!..."
As the feather chains rapidly struck, the feather tips, resembling both phoenix feathers and shurikens, continuously impacted the Blade Ghost Mantis's mantis blades.
"Crack... crack..."
The increasingly clear sounds entered the Blade Ghost Mantis's ears, like a gallows being tightened.
"Huanxing, go help Blade Ghost!"
"Blade Ghost, continue stealthing!"
Ji Gang's face was no longer ash-gray; it was like a neon sign, dazzlingly colorful.
Mingxi not being killed by Blade Ghost was something Ji Gang had not anticipated.
Blade Ghost was his trump card; he would never allow it to appear before others unless absolutely necessary.
Every time Blade Ghost appeared, it would inevitably take a life.
Countless Beast Tamers had died under Blade Ghost's mantis blades, including even B-Grade Beastmasters.
But this time, it had failed!
Repeated failures, and the target of these failures was this young girl, as tender as a budding flower!
Even someone with Ji Gang's twisted mentality couldn't help but question life.
He didn't understand how she had detected Blade Ghost's presence?
Even if there were a thousand, ten thousand 'whys' in his heart, no one would answer them for him.
The current situation didn't allow him to think too much; Nine-tailed Eye could barely hold on, but Blade Ghost ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) was clearly struggling.
That lightning bird was also unbelievably strong.
He could only send Huanxing Tree, which had been guarding him, to help.
Blade Ghost could not be defeated yet!
He had to deal with that utterly hateful little girl!
Huanxing Tree acknowledged the command and quickly moved its body to block in front of the Blade Ghost Mantis.
Skill: Wood Splendor. A large number of wooden vines and branches rapidly spread out in front of them, blocking all of Golden Yuanbao's attacks.
Freed from combat, the Blade Ghost Mantis re-entered Stealth, disappearing from sight.
Seeing this, Lan Yue immediately ran to Mingxi's side, its ears pricked high, nostrils flaring, and its intelligent eyes filled with vigilance.
Ears, nose, eyes—it maximized its five senses.
"Ice Extremity!"
It's nearby!
Lan Yue warned Mingxi that it smelled something.
Besides the scent of the Blade Ghost Mantis, there was also that guy's scent. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
A scent of vegetation mixed with a cold aura.
Lan Yue's brows were already twisted into a knot.
Mingxi didn't know that Lan Yue's 'it' referred to more than just the Blade Ghost Mantis. freewēbnoveℓ.com
She nodded, not at all surprised; she had managed to firmly draw Ji Gang's aggro.
Even veteran MTs weren't as stable as her!
"Whoosh!"
The sound of rushing wind was obscured by the heavy rain, but it couldn't escape Lan Yue's ears.
Lan Yue quickly spat a breath of Chill forward.
Under attack, the Blade Ghost Mantis's figure was forced to appear, and its two mantis blades were indeed close at hand.
If Mingxi's reaction had been even slightly slower, she would have been pierced through the chest.
