《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 22: How Did You Do It!
Advertisement
"Brother, no problem, right? Why does this Silkworm Baby look a bit tricky?"
The short man's Little Ground Wolf was hit and sent flying out twice, so it already affected his psychology.
"Hmph, in this month, for a sprite just contracted for one to two months to have such performance is pretty good indeed, but that's it… They're just a bunch of chicks who've never seen blood, after all."
The Wood Mantis didn't attack immediately. It had also used a lot of physical strength, dealing with several sprites in one go. It was looking for a good moment to attack.
The tall man was estimating the time.
The Green-Peak Mountain was a bit remote, but they still had to leave within five minutes. Otherwise, it was unknown what official Sprite Trainers might be near.
However strong the Wood Mantis was, it was completely vulnerable at the face of entry-level sprites.
Silkworm Baby didn't allow its opponent to rest, as it rushed up, gurgling.
The rounded body actually had an aura even more ferocious than the Little Stone Elephant.
The tall man ordered, "Bypass it, attack from the side."
The Wood Mantis's figure went around to the side, and just like it did with Little Stone Elephant, its forelimbs slashed down.
However, Silkworm Baby was much more agile than Little Stone Elephant!
Instantly, it made a sharp turn and struck right before the Wood Mantis's tibia fell.
Bang!
The Wood Mantis' small body flew out with the hit, banging right onto the tree trunk and continuously making the entire tree shake.
Without needing an order, Silkworm Baby understood the need to take advantage of the moment to pursue the enemy. It didn't give the Wood Mantis a chance.
The tall man burst out, "Body Facade!!"
The Wood Mantis's figure swayed and became a little fuzzy.
Bang!
Silkworm Baby hit it straight up, but the Wood Mantis' figure was broken like bubbles.
It braked urgently, but still slammed onto the tree trunk.
At that moment, the Wood Mantis sprang from the nearby grass, and on its blade-like front legs, there was a burst of emerald green light.

It suddenly sped up, making the sound of wind!
It was the unique skill—Slashing!
"On the left, dodge!"
Silkworm Baby shook and rolled backward onto the right without looking back.
Slash!
The green tibia slashed across, leaving a scratch nearly one meter long on the muddy ground.
Not far away, two non-academic Sprite Trainers drew a cold breath.
If the Wood Mantis had used this skill, their sprites would have long died.
The kind that couldn't be rescued.
They were extremely nervous.
The Wood Mantis turned around. Behind it, two translucent wings quivered slightly, its feet, constantly speeding up. Then, it left the ground slightly, and its whole body flew close to the ground.
Its tibiae continued slashing swiftly!
Silkworm Baby's speed was not as fast as the Wood Mantis', but it started running quickly.
Around its body, countless light green light dots gathered, and by using the acceleration from Charging, it dodged the Wood Mantis' attack again.
Su Hao concentrated, as with the slightest bit of error, Silkworm Baby would be slashed. He could only see the dark green figure constantly flying.
With Wood Mantis' sharp forelimbs and its speed momentum, Silkworm Baby's little bit of protection from Charging wasn't much resistance.
The tall man's mouth slightly curved into a smile.
How long can this Silkworm Baby's Charging last? How long can its spiritual force last? In comparison, my Wood Mantis has the initiative in the fight, and it consumes less!
The situation was in his favor!
"Here's the opportunity, use Slashing!"
The Wood Mantis flew around to one side behind Silkworm Baby, and chased after Silkworm Baby, which was charging.
Its forelimbs glowed in emerald green again.
A pair of eyes fixed on the fleshy light yellow body.
"It's no good!"
Hundreds of meters away, up in the mountain woods, a middle-aged man wearing a green vest frowned. "The defects of the skill Charging is obvious: its lack of agility. And now that Wood Mantis figured out Silkworm Baby's track of Charging. Once the Slashing falls, Silkworm Baby, which can barely make a turn, definitely can't dodge it.

"Unless it stops Charging and releases this moment, in which case with the agility of this Silkworm Baby, it might be able to avoid this hit.
"But that's just a slower death. The Wood Mantis will give Silkworm Baby no more opportunity to Charge. The difference is just being able to struggle a while longer."
As he spoke, he shook his head. "It's only October, for the sprite of a third-grade high-schooler to do this, it's already excellent. Old Pan, time to attack."
Another middle-aged man in a green vest spoke, "Wait for a moment. That boy is still very calm. Maybe he has some hidden plan."
He added, "My Leaf Blade Warrior is watching over, there's no danger. This kind of real battle of life and death is hard to come by, and maybe our An City can produce a real Sprite Trainer genius this year."
Both of them were official Sprite Trainers from the Association of Sprite Trainers in An City.
They had happened to find traces of clues about the two wanted criminals not long ago and tracked them here.
Thus, they saw a battle that surprised them a little.
Not far from the middle-aged man Old Pan, stood a green lizard standing upright, about the height of a human.
Leaf Blade Warrior was the evolved form of Leaf Blade Lizard.
Its sharp eyes were fixed on the space underneath. It was ready to move at any moment.
…
The wind blew past, and the ends of Su Hao's hair moved.
His eyes didn't even blink. He saw the dark green figure approaching Silkworm Baby and prepared to attack.
"Right now, use that skill!"
Silkworm Baby's momentum for Charging suddenly dissipated, and without the spiritual force that wrapped its body to charge in a straight line, it deftly moved to the side. Hence, it dodged the Wood Mantis' Slashing in a really dangerous manner.
The Wood Mantis turned quickly and dashed again.
"Gurgle!!!!"
Silkworm Baby made a Roar, and waves of ripples invisible to the naked eye spread.
The Wood Mantis's movement paused, and its forelimbs inevitably trembled.
In an instant, the countless light green light dots scattered around quickly and gathered again.
Silkworm Baby was shrouded in the misty greenery. Without accelerating, its whole body rushed out like a cannonball.
Bang!
Wood Mantis was thrown up high, letting out a painful cry. Its forelegs, wings, and even the entire body were twisted from the hit.
After being thrown up high, the Wood Mantis was smashed forcefully to the ground.
It struggled and couldn't get up.
It looked up, and a light-yellow, chubby body was constantly enlarged in its field of vision.
Bang!
Silkworm Baby, which had leaped up high and descended from the sky, dropped down right onto the Wood Mantis.
It used its increasingly fatter body and heavier weight and smashed the small-bodied Wood Mantis solidly. Unsurprisingly, the Wood Mantis fainted.
Smoke and dust moved in the air.
Su Hao looked at the two wanted criminals.
"It's ended."
…
"What! It's impossible!"
The man in green vest widened his eyes, looking at the Silkworm Baby, which had released its Charging momentum, and then without any signs, suddenly smashed the Wood Mantis.
His eyes were filled with shock.
"The skill Charging clearly needed gaining momentum, and there must be significant speed before this unique skill can be applied! What's up with this Silkworm Baby!?"
"It probably didn't release its momentum completely, which is equivalent to forcing a sudden stop for a period of time during the charge."
Old Pan spoke, and his expression was similarly shocked. "If you want to ask how that Silkworm Baby accomplished that, you should rather ask how that third-grade high-schooler managed to devise this trick. He's just a Sprite Trainer Intern!"
"Can it be that he's the disciple of a certain sect? Old Pan, do you think we can devise similar improvements based on this line of thinking?"
"You're dreaming! If improvements of unique skills are so easily imitated, they wouldn't become the hallmarks of those sects and high-level Sprite Trainers!"
"Alright."
