The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 398 - 192: Robbing Home_1

"Woo, woo, woo..."

A Thorny Boar was crouched on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

In a mere five minutes, it had gone from fierce and brutal to pitifully whimpering. The fear that descended from the heavens...who could understand?

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The footsteps of that demon were getting closer.

The Thorny Boar lifted its head and saw a blur of blue, icy and piercing to the eyes.

"What a shame."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, feeling regretful.

The hind leg meat of the Thorny Boar, coated with a layer of honey and barbecued, was extraordinarily delicious.

Unfortunately, this was a Fond Spirit with a Patron, not a wild one, so there would be no feast today.

"Crack..."

Ye Hanjun found the Escape Talisman in the pocket of the unconscious Patron and crushed it forcefully.

Then, a brass-colored barrier rose up, confining the heavily injured man and boar. All that was left was to patiently wait for the rescue of the Mentor.

"The 11th one?"

Ye Hanjun counted again and nodded gently.

The fortress targeting battle had been going on for over a day and a half.

Everyone else was born in the central region and had joined up with their teammates early on.

Only him, he hadn’t encountered anyone from the Canghai Pavilion until now, hadn’t even encountered anyone from the Tianyafu Residence.

On the contrary, he had run into Yan Weilou’s students four times in a row.

The first wave was 2 people, the second was 3, the third was 5, and the fourth was a solo, only 1 person.

There should have been one or two Red Boys or Red Girls among them, but Ye Hanjun didn’t pay much attention to it.

He had already decided that unless it was from the Canghai Pavilion or the Tianyafu Residence, he would eliminate all other students upon contact.

"I need to hurry up, I can’t drag this on..."

He took a deep breath, suppressing a peculiar sense of restlessness.

After calming down slightly, Ye Hanjun reclaimed the Huazhu and confirmed there were no planted Ying Hua around him. He melted into the darkness, transforming into an unpredictable wisp of smoke, accelerating forwards.

...

Half a day later, Ye Hanjun hesitated slightly.

Ahead, in a vast red forest, a vibrant emerald fortress stood out strikingly.

It wasn’t Yan Weilou’s base?

He had cut in diagonally into the central region, without expecting the first fortress he bumped into would be the Forest Park, the head of the five academies?

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

Ye Hanjun was evaded the Ying Hua, cautiously approaching.

The strength of the ten emeralds of Forest Park was not to be underestimated.

Not wanting to reveal that he had two occupations, coupled with the fact that he was alone, he couldn’t be careless at all.

"Swoosh..."

All around the fortress, various traps were hidden.

There were concealed pit holes, filled with mixed poisonous spikes;

There were concealed simple traps that would let out a sharp alarm once triggered;

There were artificially transplanted vines, which at first glance appeared to be small and unobtrusive, but whether it was a Fond Spirit or a human, once they stepped on them, the vines would grow wildly, using all their might to entangle the passersby, restricting their ability to move...

There were very strict arrangements around the vicinity of the fortress.

This was in line with the usual style of the Forest Park. They were more proficient in the fields of plants, soil, defence, and control.

As such, it was extremely difficult for non-stealth occupations or Fond Spirits to casually approach.

If they slightly revealed themselves, what awaited them would presumably be a thunderous counterattack.

"It seems... there aren’t many people on guard?"

Ye Hanjun circled around, trying to capture more clues to clarify the strategy of his actions.

The few windows of the fortress were all sealed from the inside with plants.

The only remaining entrance was a gargantuan stone gate, more than fifteen meters tall and wide.

And on the exterior of the fortress, there were no Fond Spirits or humans keeping guard.

This was a detail worth deep thought. The Forest Park, being the first in combat, no matter how crazily arrogant, could not possibly be so bold.

They should have divided into several teams. Some were responsible for invasion and occupation, while others were responsible for stationed defence, making progress on both fronts.

"Hush~~~"

Ye Hanjun closed the Darkest Demon Eye and resumed his human form.

He walked out from the tree-line on the side and strolled to the front of the stone gate. He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the semi-transparent pattern on the door, lost in thought.

This feeling was similar to that of a Formation Pattern, but there were differences.

It seemed like Bai Qin’s information had mentioned that the sixth emerald among the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons, Man Wenxing, had an occupation that seemed to be... Doorkeeper?

"Look!!"

"Look quickly!!"

In the outside world, the tense and thrilling fortress targeting battle was growing more intense.

The Forest Park had occupied the Tianyafu Residence, but it wasn’t enough.

Their target was pointed at the newly discovered Yan Weilou. Under the leadership of the Driver, Sun Xiu, the Wild Running Barbarian Sheep had arrived near the red fortress and the battle was about to start.

At the same time, the Canghai Pavilion only left a small number of people stationed. The main force of the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons had almost all come out. According to their trajectory of action, they were likely aiming to force the Beacon Tower.

—Once the battles on both sides erupted, they would certainly be very exciting!

But at this moment, someone scanning the Ying Hua unintentionally discovered an icy blue figure.

"Look! That’s the royal elite of the Blue Frog Kingdom! He finally shown up!"

"Where, where? The royal elites of the Red Frog Country and Grass Frog Country would occasionally reveal their whereabouts, but this royal elite of the Blue Frog Kingdom seemed to have evaporated on the spot, almost making me suspect whether he was eaten by a beast..."

The spectators who were watching the fun looked where the voice was coming from and quickly fell silent, their tongue numbed.

"Hmm? He, he, he... he appeared alone in front of the Forest Park’s fortress? What is he trying to do?"

"All around the Forest Park are traps. He didn’t trigger a single one, they were all avoided by him?"

When the first person voiced their doubts, the second, third... the rumour spread virally among the people who came to watch the excitement.
