Chapter 11: Nature Elf
At this critical moment, the Skylark let out a sharp cry, its entire body covered in cyan Wind Element energy, as if it had donned a beautiful Wind Cloak; this caused its speed to surge, allowing it to easily evade Aixi's Bite.
"This is the Rise Wind skill, which can significantly increase a Spirit Beast's speed for a certain period!"
Staring at the Skylark's 'outer garment', Li Changsheng narrowed his eyes and immediately made a judgment.
After the attack missed, Aixi landed softly on the ground, looking up at the Skylark circling in the sky.
Coo-coo~
In the sky, the Skylark looked down at Aixi, emitting an angry, sharp cry.
The next moment, the Skylark dove down, its pair of tarsal toes extended into the shape of eagle talons, revealing sharp claws that flashed with a cold light.
"Aixi, jump forward!"
The connection between a Monster Tamer and their Demon Pet is tight; the moment Li Changsheng issued the command, Aixi did not look back and immediately jumped forward.
Compared to the Skylark, Aixi's speed was not much inferior, and it ultimately avoided the Skylark's offensive.
The Skylark followed like a shadow, its sharp Bird Beak like an awl, pecking straight toward Aixi's back.
"Aixi, Shadow Clone!"
At the critical moment, Aixi's figure became blurred, and two Aixis instantly appeared on the spot.
This time, the Skylark still did not hit its mark, passing straight through Aixi's clone and continuing to charge forward.
"Chase it, use Tearing Claw!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aixi lunged forward fiercely; just as the Skylark was preparing to turn, Aixi seized the chance to launch Tearing Claw, two cold lights intersecting, and as blood suddenly appeared, several deep wounds were added to the Skylark's back.
Squeak-squeak~
A painful, sharp cry rang out, and the Skylark fell to the ground in a sorry state, unable to stand up immediately.
Aixi did not give it a chance; before the Skylark could fly again, it stepped on the Skylark first, not giving it a chance to break free.
Avian Spirit Beasts have delicate bones, and once pinned to the ground by an opponent, the possibility of breaking free is minimal.
In battles between Spirit Beasts, realm and quality certainly have a great influence, but attributes, experience, command, terrain, environment, and even body size and weight are all factors that affect victory or defeat.
"Well done, Aixi!"
After Aixi achieved victory, Li Changsheng stroked its head to show his praise.
Roar-woo~
Aixi held its head high and let out an excited roar; this was its first battle, and the significance was naturally extraordinary, which greatly strengthened its self-confidence while also reducing its resistance to the arduous training.
Suddenly, a faint radiance lit up, instantly enveloping Aixi; when the radiance disappeared, Aixi's body size had grown again, its body length approaching one meter, losing some of its cuteness and gaining some majesty.
"It leveled up again!"
Seeing Aixi level up, Li Changsheng's heart was filled with excitement; only two days had passed, and Aixi's realm had already reached Lower 3rd Rank.
Roar-woo~
At this moment, Aixi opened its big mouth, wanting to eat the Skylark.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Changsheng stopped Aixi; he did not intend to prevent Aixi from killing, but had his own plans.
Although the Skylark is relatively common, even the most common Spirit Beast can have gifted individuals; who could be absolutely certain that this wasn't a high-quality Skylark?
Even if the probability was minimal, the possibility existed after all, and Li Changsheng naturally had no reason to let it go, so he projected his Mental Power, instantly covering a radius of 30 meters.
Within this range, a total of three light spots appeared; besides Aixi, the other two light spots included the Skylark, which was right in front of Li Changsheng, and its light spot was very dim, so its quality could be imagined.
What surprised Li Changsheng was that the other light spot located at the edge of his sensing range behaved quite strangely, flickering on and off; when strong, it was like the light of a bright moon, and when weak, it was like the light of a firefly, giving one a great contrast.
Furthermore, while Li Changsheng was observing, this light spot showed no signs of moving at all.
"What kind of Spirit Beast is this?"
While Li Changsheng was puzzled, his Mental Power instantly covered the light spot, and he immediately obtained the basic information about this Spirit Beast.
【Spirit Beast Name】: Nature Elf (Gestation Stage)
【Spirit Beast Realm】: None
【Spirit Beast Race】: Unknown
【Spirit Beast Quality】: Unknown 《The more plant essence it absorbs, the higher the possibility of its quality increasing》
【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Elemental Power (Unknown)
【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wood Element
【Spirit Beast Status】: Malnourished 《Insufficient plant essence, very likely to lead to premature death》
【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Fire
The experiments during this period allowed Li Changsheng to have a full understanding of his special ability; he discovered that the content in the 《》 could only be seen by him, and other Monster Tamers, even if they had contracted a Spirit Beast, could not see this content.
"Nature Elf!" Li Changsheng was clearly stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
Elves are also a classification of Spirit Beasts; unlike ordinary Spirit Beasts, Elves are born from nature, and their attributes are extremely pure; according to their attributes, they are divided into Nature Elves, Fire Elves, Earth Elves, and so on.
Besides this, Elves have lower combat power but possess powerful auxiliary abilities, which can provide great convenience for Monster Tamers.
Additionally, unlike ordinary Spirit Beasts, the quality of an Elf is never lower than Mid-grade, and there is no shortage of Superior Quality or even top-tier existences.
Because of this, Elves are widely sought after by Monster Tamers, which has led to the scarcity of Elves, making it very difficult to find them in the wild.
A Nature Elf is born from plant essence and is usually hidden by the plants that nurture it; only by chance can one find a Nature Elf in gestation.
"Aixi, finish it off!"
After withdrawing his Mental Power, Li Changsheng issued the command; he was prepared to let Aixi see some blood.
Under the Skylark's terrified gaze, Aixi opened its big mouth and bit fiercely into the Skylark's neck.
Coo-coo~
A shrill, mournful cry rang out, and the Skylark struggled instinctively, but it could not break free no matter what.
Soon, the Skylark stopped struggling, its body motionless, and its originally bright eyes lost their luster.
Li Zhangsheng skillfully collected the valuable materials; besides a Lower Rank Wind Element Demon Core, there were also four azure tail feathers.
"Aixi, this is your dinner for today!"
As soon as Li Zhangsheng finished speaking, Aixi impatiently lowered her head and began to Bite the lark's flesh with force.
Spirit Beasts absorb energy over a long period, so their flesh naturally contains rich nutrients; long-term consumption is beneficial to the growth of a Demon Pet.
At this time, Li Zhangsheng began to walk toward the direction he sensed, which was the center of the bamboo forest.
The surrounding environment changed abruptly; the green bamboo that should have been emerald turned withered and yellow, giving the appearance of having completely dried up, and a breeze blew past, carrying countless withered bamboo leaves.
Within a radius of ten meters, only the center showed a touch of green; compared to the withered bamboo around it, this green bamboo was clearly larger in size, though its condition was not very good either, also showing a trend of turning yellow and giving one a feeling of malnutrition.
Following the sensation of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng quickly locked onto the location of the Nature Spirit; it was in the branch extending upward from the roots of this green bamboo. On this part, there existed some natural purple patterns.
