Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 317: Must Survive

"Demon Beasts have a different sense of smell than humans, and this Dragon-Attracting Willow scent can spread for miles. The Earth Dragon will definitely be able to smell it," Han Dingxiang said.

"Alright then, I’ll see to the arrangements now."

Li Teng, without any more doubts, took the sachet and immediately instructed his subordinates to collect the items.

Afterward, Li Teng asked, "Once we’ve gathered everything, where do we ignite the Dragon-Attracting Willow?"

Han Dingxiang glanced around, "First-tier Sky is the Earth Dragon’s lair, and the lair has many passages; any cave entrance would do. But since we are aiming for the fastest speed now, light it at every cave entrance you can see."

"Sure, no problem!"

Very quickly.

Li Teng had collected everything, and then immediately, as per Han Dingxiang’s instruction, ignited the items and finally sprinkled the Dragon-Attracting Willow powder.

The moment the Dragon-Attracting Willow was scattered, a refreshing scent filled the air and instantly enveloped them.

Li Teng and Hose and the others, upon smelling this scent, couldn’t help but have their expressions brighten momentarily.

Because they felt their souls become extraordinarily clear in that moment, as if they were in a pure valley, cleansed by some pure force.

"This scent..." Hose exclaimed in surprise.

Han Dingxiang nodded, "Yes, this scent has a very special effect, the most significant of which is it can sublimate a person’s soul."

"Initially, the Artifact Spirit I awakened, the Soul Summoning Yin Yang Incense, was only at SS level, but after continually using this Dragon-Attracting Willow, it soon ascended to SSS level after awakening."

Hearing this.

Hose and Li Teng showed a look of shock.

Just by smelling this scent, from SS level to SSS level?

Is the effect of this Dragon-Attracting Willow really that amazing?

This value is comparable to those legendary items, isn’t it?

However, his Machine Brain capability allowed him to quickly understand that this was just an exceptional case.

Because according to his personal sensation just now, he made a more nuanced data analysis of the Dragon-Attracting Willow’s effect.

Indeed, the Dragon-Attracting Willow can enhance the Artifact Spirit Level, but in fact, the effect is not very pronounced. Or to put it another way, it is not that it’s not pronounced, but rather it’s most effective if used correctly.

Han Dingxiang’s Artifact Spirit Form is the Soul Summoning Yin Yang Incense, her characteristics and those of the Dragon-Attracting Willow match well, so after absorbing the scent of the Dragon-Attracting Willow, her level could achieve a qualitative change.

For people like Hose and Li Teng, even though the scent of Dragon-Attracting Willow also has great effects on them, compared to Han Dingxiang, it’s significantly lesser.

Nevertheless, this also indicates that the Dragon-Attracting Willow is indeed a very precious treasure.

Spirit Grasses that can elevate the level of Artifact Spirit Forms are not plentiful in this world.

As the scent of Dragon-Attracting Willow spread, visible green smoke followed the flowing air into the Earth Cave.

Seeing this, Hose instructed Li Teng and the others to mobilize their Spirit Manipulation Energy Power to draw more green smoke into the Earth Cave, to force the Earth Dragon out at the fastest speed.

"Get ready, when the Earth Dragon emerges, at any cost, make sure we capture it. Its mouth is its weak spot, focus all your attacks there!" Hose commanded the members of the Hand of Death.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Han Dingxiang looked as the wisps of thin green smoke continuously entered the Earth Cave, a tinge of nervousness appearing on her resolute little face.

"We must survive."

...

Meanwhile.

After Xiao Zhan was swallowed by the Earth Dragon, the muscles in its mouth writhed, and dense, sharp teeth like knives swept towards him.

Xiao Zhan wielded the Demon Scythe in his hand, blocking these dangerous teeth. Then he was sucked into the throat of the Earth Dragon by a powerful force.

This force was too immense. With the constant changes brought about by the writhing surrounding muscles, Xiao Zhan was unable to stabilize his form and was ultimately pulled in.

Immediately, a sticky heat enveloped his body, a disgustingly snotty acid that was slimy as well - Xiao Zhan felt like he was on a pipe roller coaster.

A sense of weightlessness engulfed his whole body.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhan gripped the Demon Scythe tightly, stabbing it fiercely into the walls of the flesh, allowing his out-of-control body to stabilize.

"We need to figure out a way out quickly. The air here is thin, and even if we’re not corroded by the gastric acid, we can’t stay long," Ye Youlong’s calm voice resonated in Xiao Zhan’s mind.

She knew at all times that panic was useless, calmness was of utmost importance.

Of course, Xiao Zhan also knew they had to get out immediately. Not to mention the lack of air, the time for his Battle Spirit Form had expired, and he had no Spirit Manipulation Energy left inside him.

He hurriedly took out several Spirit Fruits from the Dimension Space to restore his energy.

The dry meridians inside his body were instantly like small rivers flowing, like spring rain moistening the earth; Xiao Zhan’s condition revived slightly.

But the energy came and went swiftly, with most of it being used to repair his body’s meridians, he had almost none left to wield. Moreover, after being nourished, Xiao Zhan’s craving for energy grew even stronger.

He consumed another few Spirit Fruits, and his body finally recovered a bit.

His Perception scanned the surroundings, and then with strength in his hands, the Demon Scythe sliced decisively, tearing through the Earth Dragon’s throat.

The Earth Dragon’s skin was rough, its body covered with a layer of scale armor, granting it formidable defensive power. But inside, its flesh wasn’t as special. The Death Demon Scythe made cutting through it as easy as a knife through tofu.

The throat was split, and there was a different muscle pattern on the outside. freёnovelkiss.com

Xiao Zhan knew these were the muscle tissues of the Earth Dragon.

The Earth Dragon’s body diameter was six to seven meters thick. To break through its body, Xiao Zhan had to pave at least a three-meter path.

Fortunately, the Death Demon Scythe was exceedingly sharp. Although Xiao Zhan no longer had any Spirit Manipulation Energy, it wasn’t too difficult to cut through.

However, as he made his incision, the agony of torn flesh was transmitted to the Earth Dragon’s brain, and it immediately reacted.

It twisted and turned its body, trying to disrupt Xiao Zhan’s balance, preventing him from proceeding smoothly.

But once the Demon Scythe was embedded in the flesh, it held fast, and the Earth Dragon couldn’t shake Xiao Zhan off.

The Earth Dragon continued to suffer pain and tried another tactic — it twisted its body again, but this time it attempted to crush Xiao Zhan alive with muscle contractions.

But this method was futile. Xiao Zhan swiftly made several cuts and directly opened a cavity in the flesh.

No matter how much the Earth Dragon’s muscles squeezed, Xiao Zhan was totally unaffected.

Driven to despair, the Earth Dragon then slammed its body against the stone walls, hoping that the powerful vibrations would knock Xiao Zhan unconscious.
