Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 115: Turning the Tables

Everything was going as Xiao Zhan had planned, and after a few minutes of battle, the members of his team were defeated one by one, but correspondingly, the Spirit Pattern White Ape was also injured.

Finally, with everyone’s ’all-out’ strike, both sides fell to the ground, incapacitated.

Seeing this scene of ’mutual destruction,’ Da Shan, hiding behind a stone, was extremely agitated.

His plan had already succeeded by half.

Next, as long as the old man made his move, he could take the Holy Spring Crystal.

At this moment, in the center of the battle, the old man also reached the front of the Spirit Pattern White Ape.

Seeing it covered in wounds, lying on the ground struggling in pain, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Do not be afraid, it will all be over soon."

The old man reached out his hand to soothe it.

However, the Spirit Pattern White Ape was not grateful, instead baring its teeth at him, its pair of blood-red eyes emitting an endless fierce intent.

He did not recognize it at all.

The old man sighed, then turned to look at Xiao Zhan, worry evident in his eyes.

He was certain that Da Shan was nearby, and he feared that Xiao Zhan and the others could not stop Da Shan.

Although he had seen that their injuries were feigned, feigned injuries were still injuries, albeit lighter ones, and he doubted their current condition.

But Xiao Zhan gave him a reassuring look.

Seeing this, the old man could only sigh as well, because whether Xiao Zhan and his team could stop Da Shan or not, he had to proceed with what he needed to do.

Now was the best opportunity; if he did not allow the Spirit Pattern White Ape to recover now, he would have even less of a chance later.

Thus, he took out a scale-like object from his chest, the size of a fingernail, with a texture similar to Jade Crystal, emitting a faint water-blue glow.

Spirit Manipulation Energy was activated, the light intensified, and enveloped the Spirit Pattern White Ape. At the moment of contact, the fierce Spirit Pattern White Ape suddenly calmed down.

Its fierce expression gradually became gentle, and the bloodthirstiness in its eyes gradually cleared.

Seeing this scene, the old man also relaxed.

He had never used the Holy Spring Crystal before, but the existing records left by the previous Village Guardian mentioned that the Holy Spring Crystal has a restraining effect on Ghost Blood Eye. Now that it had succeeded, he was very pleased.

Meanwhile, Da Shan, watching this scene from a distance, held his breath in excitement!

It really worked!

The records were not false!

He unconsciously clenched his fists, fearing that the records could be false, which would have made all his efforts futile.

But fortunately, they were not false!

He could now confidently have his Artifact Spirit embedded with Ghost Blood Eye.

His Artifact Spirit, the Black Gold Mask, was an A-grade Artifact Spirit. With the powerful effect of the Ghost Blood Eye, it could easily be upgraded to S-grade level.

Even with proper cultivation later on and finding suitable Artifact Refining Materials, reaching SS-grade was not impossible!

His strength would also rise significantly!

With this thought, he could not wait any longer, and immediately began to stealthily approach the old man’s direction.

His movements were gentle and his speed not slow, but in this foggy environment, only Xiao Zhan could clearly perceive his presence.

Others could only feel him when he was much closer.

Over here, the old man was wholeheartedly helping the Spirit Pattern White Ape recover. The Holy Spring Crystal was very powerful, and its effect was immediately evident; in just a short while, the Spirit Pattern White Ape had completely regained clarity.

However, the wounds on its body were still there.

But seeing the old man beside it, it showed an extremely happy expression.

The old man was similarly delighted; this Spirit Pattern White Ape had been there since the anomaly years ago, always guarding the village, and had grown up watching the old man from his childhood.

Their relationship could be described as thicker than blood.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, launching a fierce attack with a palm strike to the old man’s back.

The old man had been on guard against Da Shan’s appearance, but he had been severely injured before, and had just focused all his attention on the Spirit Pattern White Ape, so there was no way he could dodge this strike.

The powerful force instantly knocked him flying, and the Holy Spring Crystal in his hand was tossed high into the air, then snatched by that figure.

It was Da Shan, wearing a mask.

After grabbing the Holy Spring Crystal, Da Shan didn’t hesitate and took off running.

His speed was swift, and with the cover of thick fog, he disappeared from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Xu Wen immediately wanted to chase after him.

But at that moment, Xiao Zhan quickly stopped him, "Let me go. You guys are the main force, stay here. What if the Demon Beasts go crazy again?"

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Xu Wen was somewhat worried; the opponent was a Third Grade.

"A man can’t say he can’t."

Xiao Zhan didn’t give him a chance to reply; with a leap, he dashed out and instantly vanished in the mist.

"If you really can’t handle it, just come back, no need to chase too deeply!"

Left with no choice, Xu Wen could only call out this advice towards the direction Xiao Zhan had departed.

In the thick fog.

Da Shan and Xiao Zhan were chasing each other, separated by less than a hundred meters.

Da Shan soon noticed Xiao Zhan following him.

But he didn’t care, knowing that Xiao Zhan could see through the fog just like him. But what of it? Xiao Zhan was only a Second Grade Spirit Master with limited strength; he couldn’t possibly catch up to him.

Right now, he wasn’t in the mood to worry about Xiao Zhan.

All he wanted was to quickly find a safe place to embed the Ghost Blood Eye; then, even if he was caught, there was nothing they could do to him.

Thus, he ran furiously forward, channeling his Spirit Manipulation Energy to its fullest.

He believed Xiao Zhan would soon be left far behind.

However, after a while, Da Shan suddenly felt a bit nervous.

Because he discovered not only had he not shaken off Xiao Zhan, but the distance between them was actually getting closer.

This surprised him.

Hesitating for a moment, he spared no effort and fully channelled his Spirit Manipulation Energy, drastically increasing his speed.

He thought this would finally shake off Xiao Zhan, but when he looked back, he found Xiao Zhan was even closer!

Now less than twenty meters away.

He was shocked. How could this guy be so fast?

"Kid, I’m not a Demon Beast, why are you chasing me like this?" Since Da Shan’s footwork was no use, he tried to talk his way out.

"Hand over the Holy Spring Crystal, and I’ll spare your life!"

Xiao Zhan’s voice came through, clearly after the Holy Spring Crystal.

"Kid, how much money did that old man give you? I’ll double it!"

In Da Shan’s view, the Special Service Bureau was unaware of the Holy Spring Crystal’s purpose. Thus, the only possibility for Xiao Zhan to be chasing him must be due to someone else’s instructions.

"Cut the nonsense, hand it over!"

Xiao Zhan, disregarding everything else, pursued with all his might.

Their distance was growing closer, now less than ten meters apart.

Feeling the grim atmosphere of the Death Demon Scythe, and Xiao Zhan’s uncompromising tone, Da Shan’s eyes beneath the mask also turned fierce in an instant.
