Chapter 175: Like a Defeated Dog's Downfall

【Player Name: Aolierjia】

【Player Level: Elite Tier】

【Contract Spirit Beast: Flame-devouring Lizard, Dark Moon Wolf, Mysterious Shadow Python】

Looking at the fleeting scan result before him, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

Is it her?

If I remember correctly, this woman was promoted to Elite Tier together with Ji Huai a few days ago.

It's said that the time she broke through to the Formal Tier wasn't long either, and it has nothing to do with Wuji at all.

Therefore, Qin Chuan has never had much suspicion toward Olierjia.

I never expected that she is Wuji.

In just a moment, Qin Chuan gained some insight into Olierjia's tricks.

"Woof!!!"

A bark rang out fiercely from afar—that was Shui Hua's voice.

In the recent battle with the monster, Shui Hua could have done more, but didn't; under Qin Chuan's indication, she placed part of her focus on the hidden opponent in the dark.

At this moment, as Olierjia's three contracted spirit beasts appeared, it unhesitatingly activated its blood-control ability from afar, temporarily stiffening the opponent while a towering wave instantly surged down upon the three beasts.

Star·Heavenly Waterfall!

The corner of Olierjia's mouth twitched slightly beneath her mask; she knew that because of the unexpected miss, she not only exposed herself but also failed to reduce the enemy's numbers.

Wait, an accident?

Heh, what a prayer for fate!

How could there be so many accidents in this world!

Without a word, Olierjia, with her three spirit beasts, instantly vanished from the spot.

Wuji's Third Talent effect, activate!

【Causes oneself and one's contracted spirit beast to enter an infinite-duration stealth state, immune to all detection and gaining 5 seconds of being unselectable; the stealth state can be voluntarily released, and attacking another target forcibly ends the stealth state】

The Heavenly Waterfall Cascade fell upon empty space; Olierjia, who struck and fled, retreated intact.

A faint gleam flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

Sundial's Third Talent, activate!

Target, Player 【Olierjia】!

A map instantly appeared before his eyes, marking Olierjia's light point as much dimmer than a normal light point, and it also displayed the four characters "Unselectable".

Can't one attack the opponent while in hidden state?

Qin Chuan frowned, then relaxed after a few seconds.

Fortunately, this state is not permanent.

"Shui Hua!"

"Woof!"

The ever-ready Shui Hua, at Qin Chuan's finger, once again affected the fused spirit beast with its blood-control ability, and without hesitation commanded the Heavenly Waterfall Cascade to spin rapidly like a grindstone, slamming heavily toward Olierjia's current position.

Beneath her mask, the hidden Olierjia showed a look of fear for the first time.

Gazing at Luo's eyes not far away, which seemed able to see through her, she, who had never imagined her talent could be seen through since gaining Wuji, felt her heart sinking continuously.

Instantly canceling her own stealth state, then re-entering it, relying on the momentary unselectability to dodge this terrifying strike, Olierjia turned her head without hesitation.

"Run!"

"The farther you run, the better!"

Beneath her mask, Olierjia was filled with unprecedented panic, once again in stealth state; she hesitated not at all, riding her spirit beast to flee this place at once.

Qin Chuan slightly regretfully withdrew his gaze from Olierjia's direction and turned his head to look at Songban Zhigui.

Although one claw was cut off, Songban Zhigui's fused spirit beast not only had a far superior base stat compared to all spirit beasts present, but also possessed a terrifying healing ability, and that claw had already grown back.

Xiao Hong also joined the battle, but as the skill effect gradually became exposed, it could no longer strike unexpectedly, and in this one-versus-six fight they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan slightly shook his head.

Wuji has run away, so there's no point in hiding one's clumsiness anymore.

"Shui Hua."

"Woowoof!!!"

Shui Hua let out a strange roar, surging with dazzling water light; this light, centered on it, instantly swept outward in all directions, ignoring the other five allied spirit beasts, and upon contacting the fused spirit beast, it shook its massive body into the air.

Star·Heavenly Water Clarify!

As the knockback took effect, the fused spirit beast's momentum plummeted, becoming the same as Songban Zhigui's before activating the Ascending Spirit Third Talent.

On Songban Zhigui's face, which bore a false smile, a look of astonishment appeared for the first time.

Even though the duration of the Ascending Spirit Third Talent is far from over, why…

Before he could react, the revealed Snow Cream slashed down with a single blow, directly splitting the fused spirit beast in two.

The massive body of the fused spirit beast crashed to the ground, turning into three heavily wounded Elite Tier spirit beasts.

Under the harvesting of the other companions, Songban Zhigui's all spirit beasts eventually died.

"You…" Looking at Qin Chuan and Yue Li approaching step by step, Songban Zhigui's already corpse-pale face instantly showed a look of startled fury; he turned his head to look all around, letting out a beast-like roar, "How long do you intend to keep watching the show?!"

"Without me, do you think you can handle those two by yourself?!"

"You damn stupid woman! You…"

"You mean Olierjia?" Qin Chuan interrupted the howl, his eyes hinting at strangeness, "Don't shout—she's already been running for a while."

Songban Zhigui's madness on his face came to an abrupt halt.

"Ya lei ya lei, I really am like a defeated dog right now." He weakly let his hands drop, emitting a heheh cold laugh, "Luo, what exactly is your talent?"

Can you satisfy me, who is about to die…

Puchi—

The long blade pierced Song Ban Zhi Gui's chest, freezing the last trace of astonishment on his face.

"You're not really dead, are you taking me for a fool?"

Qin Chuan looked disgusted, and Yue Li beside him also covered her mouth, unable to stop laughing.

Watching Song Ban Zhi Gui dissolve into points of light, Qin Chuan's voice carried a hint of regret: 'I don't know what kind of player will obtain the Soul Fusion Talent next.'

'I only hope the other side doesn't try to be our enemy.' Yue Li spoke softly, then looked at Qin Chuan: 'Just now, did you use the Sundial Needle's Third Talent to lock onto the owner of the Traceless?'

Although the battle had just been chaotic, she still noticed Qin Chuan easily capturing a moment of Ao Li Er Jia in her hidden state.

'Yes.' Qin Chuan nodded, 'I never expected this Sundial Needle's Third Talent to actually be used on the Traceless.'

Originally, according to his plan, if Yue Li obtained the Hall Crystal this time without needing the Sundial Needle's Third Talent, he would use this talent to lock onto the vanished Song Ban Zhi Gui.

But before he could use it, Song Ban Zhi Gui came to him on his own, and the Sundial Needle was ultimately used on the Traceless.

However, in terms of the outcome, this was more worthwhile.

'Are we going to capture the Traceless?' Yue Li laughed, 'Your talent truly suppresses hers to the death.'

'Hmm…' Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: 'No, we won't capture her.'

Looking at the doubtful expression of the girl beside him, he laughed.

'If Ao Li Er Jia dies, it will be hard for us to lock onto a new Traceless.'

'Who the owner of the Traceless is doesn't matter.'

'But we need a Traceless that has been locked onto.'
