The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 752 - 310: Ye Lanlan

"Humph?"

The spectacled pig seemed dazed for a moment and suddenly lay down on the ground, adopting a posture of prostration.

Where it had been trembling with fear just moments before, its pupils now brimmed with fervent worship and admiration as it looked at Ye Hanjun.

"GuaGua, what did you tell it just now that it came trotting over to you?"

"I told it there was super delicious meat here."

GuaGua, like a little soldier receiving commendation, puffed out his chest and said animatedly,

"Then it just came over without hesitation. Actually, I was the one taken aback for a moment."

"Hmm... So, you’re saying that, compared to other monsters, it has a bit of intelligence, but not much?"

Ye Hanjun scrutinized the plump pig as if in deep thought,

"GuaGua, ask it if there are any other structures around here besides the Young King’s palace?"

The Heart Slave can only enslave its prey, generally releasing mental commands such as "attack," "escape," "defend," "stay put," and the like.

To communicate normally across species, it still requires a little social wizard like GuaGua.

"Humph humph? Humph humph humph?"

GuaGua transformed back into the shape of a spectacled pig, snorting through its nostrils.

The spectacled pig found sudden comprehension, pointing first to the left and then to the right, honestly answering.

"My, my, it still is a bit dim. It can’t even convey three to five sentences clearly."

GuaGua reverted to his original form and transmitted with a clear voice,

"Big tadpole, big piggy here says the left side is very, very dangerous. There’s a domineering giant bug that eats everything. Definitely can’t go near it."

"On the right side, it’s ’very dangerous’ too. There’s an old tree hidden in the soil that once suddenly shot up, nearly causing big piggy to bite the dust."

"So how has it survived until now?" Ye Hanjun grew even more curious.

"Big piggy, how have you survived until now?!"

GuaGua transformed into the spectacled pig once more, interrogating the main subject as if scaring a criminal.

"Humph humph humph... humph humph..."

"What the..."

After a moment, GuaGua translated,

"It says that it usually sleeps, and only when extremely hungry does it go out to look for food."

"If it encounters something it can’t defeat, it just runs like mad. If that doesn’t work, it release a stinky fart. One thing has led to another, and from a little piglet, it turned into a big fatty."

"Pretty blissful life."

Ye Hanjun patted the pig’s head, not minding whether it completely understood,

"Remember, your real boss is ’exquisitely beautiful and supremely enchanting,’ belonging to a different species from me."

"And I am the boss of your boss. Only by listening obediently will you have the chance to enjoy the good life."

"Humph!"

The big piggy seemed to understand the critical parts, lifting its trotters in a gesture of worship, then humbly bowed down in submission.

"Lead us out of here."

With a light step, Ye Hanjun seated himself cross-legged on the pig’s back and issued commands.

"Humph!!"

The fat pig nodded its head, wagging its tail, and began to amble along.

The route it chose was one that it had deemed safe through countless confirmations, which should have been familiar.

However, whether by a stroke of misfortune or not, they were repeatedly startled by monsters jumping out at them as they went.

"Rustle rustle rustle... rustle rustle..."

A giant bug that seemed underdeveloped at first glance, leapt like a dolphin out of the water, suddenly springing out of the muddy ground.

Ye Hanjun quickly stashed the spectacled pig into the Magatama, his wings flapping wildly as he pulled up in altitude at a frenzied pace.

"What a strange bug."

GuaGua, curious, popped his head out.

The ambushing bug had almost no flesh, only bones.

Those dark bones were inlaid with a hint of gold, looking unearthly and peerless. When its eight bone spears, serving as its mouthparts, expanded outwards, they emitted a sky-shaking dragon chant that pressured the spirit and caused chests to feel stifled.

"This is a ’Dragon Bone Worm’."

Ye Hanjun warned, "Remember the Abyssal Demon Worm that I have as a guard?"

"This is a variant from the same species. It is said that if it eats a large amount of dragon corpses during its youth, it could transform into a half-alive, half-dead demon bug. That tough and sharp dragon bone is coated with a deadly toxin that can cause creatures to rot where they stand. Its danger level is extremely high."

"Fun!"

GuaGua lifted his little hand, volunteering,

"How about we subdue it too? Little Beauty might not like it, but I do."

"No, we only have one choice, and that’s to escape."

Ye Hanjun gripped GuaGua by the scruff of his neck and watched the Dragon Bone Worm bounce into the air, ultimately unable to reach him as it was unfit for flight.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Bone Worm crashed heavily back to the ground, burrowing swiftly into the muddy dirt like a nimble fish, vanishing from sight.

"It hasn’t gone yet, still lurking underground, ready to strike at any moment."

"Same as usual, lure it to the lair of other monsters and let them kill each other."

Ye Hanjun’s thoughts raced, and his strategic plan was instantly decided.

He also wanted to subdue a creature capable of exploring underground, but this Dragon Bone Worm had already mastered the Immeasurable Void Pull. Going head to head would only make him come out worse, there was no way he could suppress and subdue it.

"Sssla!"

After half a day of pursuit, a big pigeon spotted Ye Hanjun.

It spat out the half-piece of raw meat in its mouth, and its snow-white wings, sharp as heavenly blades, fell, the piercing sound nearly crushing his eardrums, so much so that even the soles of his feet felt cold.

"Gesila?!"

With hair standing on end, Ye Hanjun didn’t even dare to summon Huazhu. Grinding his teeth, he decided to use his ability to disintegrate miraculously.
