Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 319: Working Together

As the "Hand of Death" Array was set up, the tremors of the ground became increasingly violent—the stones shook, heralding the Earth Dragon’s emergence from below the earth!

"About thirty meters to the front left! That’s where the Earth Dragon will appear, be alert!"

Han Dingxiang shouted loudly.

She didn’t have Perception Ability, but through the locking of scents, she could determine the rough location of the Earth Dragon’s emergence.

Upon hearing this, members of the Hand of Death locked onto the direction and became entirely vigilant!

Rumble rumble.

The sound grew louder, and the vibrations more intense, the Earth Dragon drawing ever closer to the surface.

Han Dingxiang and Hose retreated far away, anxiously watching the spot where the Earth Dragon was about to appear.

They didn’t possess much combat power and stayed distant to avoid being caught in the crossfire once the battle began, lest they become collateral damage. Their own injuries wouldn’t matter much, but the key was not to interfere with Li Teng and the others.

Standing in a safe location, Han Dingxiang immediately employed her Talent Skill.

A faint red glow emanated from her body, a gentle light like that of fireflies enveloping her, giving her a radiant beauty.

The red lights twinkled, appearing not merely as light upon closer inspection but more like tiny spirits of light fluttering around her.

Floating and undulating, the fragrance they emitted was peculiar. Upon smelling it, one felt a blood-boiling excitement, as if their combat power surged.

Then, under her control, these specks of red light seemed consciously to drift towards the members of the Hand of Death.

The red light entered their nostrils, and upon catching the scent, each member’s momentum visibly soared, their energy skyrocketing.

Moreover, stimulated by the fragrance, several of them on the verge of breaking through to Fourth Grade showed signs of a breakthrough at that moment!

Simultaneously, as their auras climbed, the amassed "Hand of Death" also underwent a transformation.

The original Hand of Death was merely an energy construct; though shaped like a palm, it was not detailed.

Just bald and simple, with fingers being five thick strands of energy—no joints, no textures, no creepy nails—nothing.

It might look imposing, but that was mere shock from its size, not the kind of terror that touched the soul.

But now, enhanced by Han Dingxiang, the hand had gained a terrifying aspect, with dense black light, pronounced knuckles, and clearly defined contours of the fingers.

In terms of affecting the soul, it was far beyond what it had been just a moment ago.

One glance at it and one’s heart would skip a beat, feeling an unsettling tremor.

Seeing this, Hose’s eyes shone with divine light, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Worthy of an SSS-grade auxiliary Artifact Spirit, directly elevating the quality of the Hand of Death Array by a level, even stronger than when the old master was around."

He looked at Han Dingxiang, pondering in his heart—if Dingxiang could join them, the strength of the Death Organization would surely see a tremendous enhancement!

"Boom!"

Just then, a tremendous sound erupted, the ground cracked, and a brown, scale-armored head burst through the soil!

It was the Earth Dragon!

Its immense body shot straight up towards the sky, carrying a momentum that swept like the wind, resembling a high-speed train zooming by in a blur before everyone’s eyes!

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred meters of its body had shot out!

Li Teng didn’t hesitate, and the members of the Hand of Death immediately launched their attack.

A massive black palm stirred up a strong gust of wind, raising dust from the ground, its fingers outstretched and managing to grasp the Earth Dragon’s body!

The rapidly surging body of the Earth Dragon instantly halted, as if someone suddenly slammed the brakes, stopping abruptly.

The powerful braking caused it to let out a pained cry involuntarily. Its mouth opened wide, and as blood spilled from the corners, it roared furiously, the sound echoing through the wilderness.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan, still inside the Earth Dragon’s mouth, was fiercely slashing through its flesh.

Suddenly, a beam of light pierced through, bringing with it fresh air, and the sight of lush green mountains entered Xiao Zhan’s view.

A wave of joy surged in his heart—the Earth Dragon had emerged from underground.

The moment he saw the light, he knew it was his best chance to escape, but he chose not to run. He was, after all, only a step away from obtaining the Earth Dragon’s Crystal Core.

To leave now would be to abandon his efforts just shy of success, wouldn’t it be missing a great opportunity?

Therefore, Xiao Zhan immediately lifted the Demon Scythe in his hand and launched a lethal blow at the Earth Dragon’s head!

Meanwhile.

After the Hand of Death took control of the Earth Dragon, it opened its huge bloody maw, but Han Dingxiang and the others did not see Xiao Zhan come out from its mouth.

Her heart tightened instantly, and her eyes were filled with worry.

"What’s going on, why hasn’t he come out yet?"

"Don’t worry, he’ll be fine," Hose reassured.

But he, too, furrowed his brows deeply. Being swallowed by the Earth Dragon meant there was a certain chance of survival.

However, that chance was slim; the inside of the Earth Dragon’s mouth, filled with teeth sharp as knife mountains, and the powerful stomach acid that could corrode anything, were not something ordinary people could withstand.

All they could do now was pray.

Li Teng felt a tightness in his heart upon seeing Xiao Zhan not emerging, a bad feeling rising within him.

His brows furrowed, he commanded coldly, "Force it, break its body!"

Members of the Hand of Death exerted their strength. frёeωebɳovel.com

The black hands that firmly gripped Earth Dragon’s body in midair suddenly exerted force, and in an instant, the Earth Dragon’s body visibly began to twist!

Painful howls, angry roars!

But the Earth Dragon was not to be trifled with; it immediately charged towards the members of the Hand of Death.

Seeing this, Li Teng dared not let the members of the Hand of Death evade. Instead, he chose to stand their ground against the Earth Dragon!

The Hand of Death was an Array, and once formed, it cannot be moved arbitrarily. Any movement risks collapsing the Array.

If the Array collapsed, then Xiao Zhan’s hopes of survival would be completely dashed!

Faced with a choice between life and death, they did not hesitate to choose death in exchange for life!

With their own death, they sought to secure Xiao Zhan’s survival!

Even though it was just a glimmer of hope!

The Hand of Death burst forth with immense power, its strong grip deforming the Earth Dragon’s hard scales, and the body part that was seized was squeezed and distorted.

The hard scales embedded into its flesh, and blood almost immediately seeped out, with broken bones piercing through the flesh, a chilling sight.

But it seemed that was the extent of it—the scales, although deformed, were never entirely shattered.

The flesh, although twisted, did not break apart.

In the end, the power of the Hand of Death was still unable to crush the defense of the Earth Dragon!

At this time, the Earth Dragon had approached everyone. It opened its huge, gaping mouth, ready to swallow them all whole!
