Chapter 197: Chapter 9 Fierce! Red Bull Fire Toad
...
Unexpectedly, Wang Luqiu said it quite loudly, and Wang Shouzhe heard it.
Immediately, he gave her a displeased glare, as if she didn’t usually learn from him herself.
Both the fifth and sixth sisters were quite a handful.
However, Luojing was in the middle of a trial, so Wang Shouzhe’s attention shifted to her.
Another new Demon Puppet appeared, chillingly charging at Wang Luojing.
Wang Luojing’s expression remained indifferent as she put down the box on her back. Without any entanglement, she lightly tapped her feet and flew gracefully like a butterfly, her skirt fluttering beautifully in the air.
At some point, an insect flute appeared in her hand, which she gently played while pressed horizontally against her jade-like lips, producing a high-frequency sound that was extremely harsh to human ears.
From the box she placed on the ground, came a buzzing sound, and a swarm of Purple Crystal Spirit Bees surged out.
Each of them was the size of a date, exhibiting a purple crystalline glow on their bodies, with their stingers clearly visible.
A swarm of two to three hundred Purple Crystal Bees, like a cloud obscuring the sun, enveloped the Demon Puppet.
This was a Tier Two Purple Crystal Spirit Bee, vastly different in appearance from the Tiger-headed Spirit Bee.
Moreover, within that swarm of Purple Crystal Spirit Bees, there was an especially large one about the size of a fist, the Queen Bee. With the Queen Bee directing them, the swarm’s combat power was incomparable.
Such a swarm had an overall power reaching the peak of Tier Two.
Even someone at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm would not dare to confront them head-on, likely opting to detour instead.
The Demon Puppet, although named a puppet, was ultimately made from demon blood and flesh, with a body structure virtually identical to that of wild demons.
The bee swarm entangled it, their venomous stingers constantly stabbing into its body.
The Demon Puppet’s combat strategy was not adept at eliminating the bee swarm, only managing to kill a few Purple Crystal Spirit Bees with its powerful swinging claws.
Despite the Demon Puppet’s seemingly strong resistance to toxins, it couldn’t withstand the copious numbers of bees, with the venom gradually accumulating within it.
Its speed grew increasingly sluggish, and in battles against Spirit Insect Masters, once slowed down, it was nearly a foregone conclusion.
With the advantage gained, Wang Luojing calmly maneuvered with her body technique, resolutely avoiding close combat with the Demon Puppet.
Eventually, after the sacrifice of dozens of Purple Crystal Spirit Bees,
The Demon Puppet couldn’t even touch her skirt before collapsing with a thunderous crash, unable to rise again.
The ease with which she won this battle left everyone exchanging surprised glances. Truly, her fighting power as a Spirit Insect Master was terrifying.
Moreover, a Spirit Insect Master’s combat posed almost no danger, as there was no need for close-quarter fighting.
One only needed to maintain distance and let the spiritual insects handle the enemies.
This unique fighting style naturally aroused both envy and admiration among the onlookers. While congratulating Wang Luojing on her victory, they began to chatter excitedly.
Ancestor Ruhong frowned and said, "A Spirit Insect Master is a rare dual occupation, both in life and combat, and there are hardly any in the entire Changning Guard."
"Don’t start having wild ideas; besides, a Spirit Insect Master’s combat ability is built over time, naturally different from other Black Tortoise Practitioners."
What Ancestor Ruhong said made a lot of sense.
Raising top-tier Purple Crystal Spirit Bees was clearly a significant challenge for Wang Luojing, and losing dozens of them must have caused her some heartache.
Nevertheless, the final reward was exceptionally generous.
The Artifact Spirit said, "Congratulations on passing the trial, what is your name?"
"Wang Luojing."
"Very good, Wang Luojing. For passing the first level, you can receive a consolation prize, provided you accept the identity of a civilian soldier of the Divine Martial Dynasty."
Naturally, Wang Luojing had no reason to refuse.
Soon, she received a Celestial Spirit Pill along with a Civilian Soldier Token.
Then she obediently rested and regained her Profound Qi, waiting until both her energy and spirit were restored before starting the second battle.
However, in the second battle, with two Demon Puppets joining forces, the situation became entirely different.
They could execute flanking and encirclement tactics.
Instantly, Wang Luojing found herself in constant peril, repeatedly dodging danger, and unable to concentrate on commanding the Spirit Bees.
"This is big trouble." Wang Shouzhe’s expression was a bit grave; even if it was the same strategy, facing different numbers of enemies made for a vastly different scenario.
Rip!
A demon claw tore Wang Luojing’s skirt, leaving a bleeding gash on her waist.
"Luojing, enough." Wang Shouzhe shouted, "When you reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, you’ll definitely be able to defeat them."
He could heal, but no matter how good a healer he was, he couldn’t bring back the dead.
Persistently engaging in an unwinnable fight could lead to instant death.
Unexpectedly, the injured Wang Luojing’s eyes flashed with a chilling anger: "Damn you, Demon Puppets, making my fourth brother worry, you all deserve to die!"
An ominous aura began to emanate from her, with a mysterious tint enveloping her eyes.
Not good, Wang Shouzhe felt a jolt in his heart and was about to intervene when.
A deep, resounding "croak~" was heard.
It was the call of some kind of toad, the sound deep and booming, like a Wild Ox roaring in the wilderness.
In Wang Luojing’s delicate palm, there appeared a crimson toad the size of her palm, which, though small, exuded a fearsome aura of fiery intimidation.
"This is..." Ancestor Xuanfu’s expression shifted slightly, "Red Bull Fire Toad!? From where did this little girl get it?"
Red Bull Fire Toad?
Wang Shouzhe was a bit bewildered, clearly unfamiliar with the name, but soon Wang Luojing showed him the might of the Red Bull Fire Toad.
