Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 316: Dragon-Attracting Willow

But Han Dingxiang was extremely agitated, struggling desperately, wanting to rush over and see the situation, she even bit Hose’s arm!

Hose had no choice but wanted to knock her out with a slap. But thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he simply let two members of the Hand of Death restrain her.

After restraining her, it was slightly quieter, and only then could he focus on arranging the follow-up matters.

Looking at the spot where Xiao Zhan disappeared, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but there was no hesitation in his actions, and he immediately instructed everyone to evacuate to a safe location.

But at this moment, Li Teng stood up and said dissatisfied, "We should rescue him since the master’s life and death are unknown. How can we retreat now?"

Hose looked at him coldly, "Of course I know we need to rescue the master. But you tell me, how can we rescue him now? That’s an Earth Dragon, comparable to a Sixth Grade Demon Beast, its body is extremely tough, your knife is akin to tickling it!"

"Moreover, the Earth Dragon is underground, we don’t have the ability to dig through the soil, even if we did, with our strength, what can we do against the Earth Dragon?"

Li Teng also understood the situation, he was just overwhelmed by emotions, and calmed down quite a bit after being rebuked.

"So what do we do now, can we only watch and do nothing?"

Hose sighed, "The situation is complicated. With our current strength, indeed we can’t do anything. The only thing we can do is protect ourselves and trust the master!"

Hose was helpless with such a method; if he had a way, he would certainly fight desperately, even ready to exchange his life for Xiao Zhan’s without any hesitation.

However, they are facing an Earth Dragon on par with Sixth Grade!

The disparity in strength left them incapable of any meaningful action.

But at this moment, a firm voice sounded.

"We can, we have something we can do!"

Hose and Li Teng turned their heads to look, it was Han Dingxiang.

Her expression now was calm yet firm, unlike her previously crumbling agitation and helpless panic. Now she looked exceptionally determined, her eyes bright, completely a different person!

"What can we do?" asked Hose.

He also signaled his men to release Han Dingxiang.

After being released, Han Dingxiang walked up to them, spoke very resolutely, "We must do something now, not a moment to delay, if we are slow, there truly will be no hope for Xiao Yu!"

"What exactly is it, hurry up and tell us." Li Teng urged.

Mere emphasis without explanation is useless!

Hose immediately gave Li Teng a look, signaling him to be quiet.

Han Dingxiang continued, "Xiao Yu was swallowed by the Earth Dragon, its mouth has many teeth, but the human size is too small for its mouth. So most likely, Xiao Yu was swallowed whole, which means, in a short period of time, Xiao Yu will not be dead. And what we need to do is to draw out the Earth Dragon."

"But the Earth Dragon is a den-dwelling demon beast, it lives underground all year round, only coming out when it needs to feed. So, once it goes underground, it rarely comes out."

"But there is something called Dragon-Attracting Willow, a plant that, when burned, releases a pungent smell. This smell is highly repellent to the Earth Dragon, it will withdraw at the smell."

"If it smells this in the soil, it will absolutely come out of the earth. As long as we smoke it with this thing, it can be driven out, and Xiao Yu will have a chance to come out as well."

Hearing this, Hose nodded in agreement.

Not to mention whether Xiao Zhan would survive after being swallowed, hypothetically assuming he survived and came out from the Earth Dragon’s mouth. Then the condition for him to keep surviving, wouldn’t he need to appear on the ground?

If he comes out from the Earth Dragon’s mouth but is still in the soil, doesn’t that mean Xiao Zhan is still in a deadly situation?

What Han Dingxiang proposed for the rescue was correct.

But Hose had a doubt, "I have never heard of this Dragon-Attracting Willow, how do you know about it?"

Hose’s Talent Skill is Machine Brain, which gives him the ability of photographic memory; any information of this world, once Hose sees it, he can recall it perfectly.

He had seen information related to the Earth Dragon, but he never knew anything about the Dragon-Attracting Willow.

Hearing this question, Han Dingxiang’s firm eyes gained a hint of sadness, as if recalling some unpleasant memories.

She turned her head, looking in the direction where Xiao Zhan was lost, and said, "This Dragon-Attracting Willow was discovered accidentally by Xiao Yu and I. Three years ago, Xiao Yu and I secretly went out to play and discovered this peculiar plant."

"The scent produced by this plant has a stimulating effect on the Earth Dragon, but for humans, it has a sublime effect on the spirit. At that time, when we discovered this plant, we didn’t know it also affected the Earth Dragon, so we burned quite a lot of it, and resultantly, an Earth Dragon suddenly emerged from the soil at night and attacked us."

Han Dingxiang’s eyes became distant, her face began to show discomfort, her voice slightly choked, "After the Earth Dragon appeared, we couldn’t resist at all. To protect me, Xiao Yu deliberately attracted the Earth Dragon’s attention, and finally... was swallowed in one bite by the Earth Dragon..."

"It was also at this spot..."

As Han Dingxiang said this, tears silently streamed down her face.

Compared to her loud crying when Xiao Zhan was swallowed, this silent pain was no less profound.

Rather, it made people sympathize even more.

Hearing this, the expressions on Hose and Li Teng’s faces also became somewhat unnatural, they knew that something had happened between Han Dingxiang and the so-called Xiao Yu, but they did not know the details.

After hearing this, their look towards Han Dingxiang was filled with pity.

The real Xiao Yu had been swallowed before, now the imposter Xiao Yu had been swallowed too, for her, it was completely a mental torment.

A frail woman had to endure the same hurt twice.

Really pitiful.

Nevertheless, it’s not the time to pity her, Li Teng urgently said, "Then what does this Dragon-Attracting Willow look like, where can it be found?"

Han Dingxiang took out a sachet, "The Dragon-Attracting Willow is no longer available, after Xiao Yu died, I had all the Dragon-Attracting Willow collected and made into incense powder."

"After continuous experiments, it was concluded that the Dragon-Attracting Willow had a restraining effect on the Earth Dragon. You need to find some mixed wet and dry plants, light them at the cave entrance, and then sprinkle a little of this incense powder, then the Dragon-Attracting Willow effect can appear."

Li Teng took the sachet, which was very small, even smaller than half a palm.

He doubted, "This little amount? Are you sure it’s enough?"
