Start With Contracting Sprites - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: The Dumb Unicorn Can Finally Shoot [1/3]

That was the unique skill “Plant Growth” of the Wood-element. It was not controlled by the Wood-element and the range was not big. It only had a radius of three to four meters with the Vine Demon as the center.

The vines grew several meters long. They were thick and strong, coiling and intertwining with one another. In just a moment, the skeleton of a small Vine Castle was constructed.

At this point, the vines were still growing.

“What Classmate Zhao Yingxun used was a stable defensive counterattack strategy. His choice was very correct. Against the water-element Water Cloud Horse, the shell fortress built with strong vines is enough to make it invincible.”

In the broadcasting hall, Huang Tianlei briefly and succinctly explained the few unique skills that had been combined into constructing the “Vine Castle”. This allowed quite a number of spectators to understand the situation. Among them, even if many were high school students, university student Sprite Trainers, or social Sprite Trainers, they were still confused just by looking at the battle scene, until the commentator analyzed it for them…

They immediately understood. A series of “666”, “awesome commentator” and other comments floated up on the screen.

“Let’s analyze that Water Cloud Horse again…”

At venue three, the audience seats.

“The Vine Demon is preparing, and the Water Cloud Horse is also accumulating momentum,” said an instructor from Dragon City University.

Another instructor raised his glasses. “After all, the skeleton of the Vine Castle was built in an instant. If the Water Cloud Horse attacked immediately, it would be very difficult for it to break through. Instead, the Vine Demon can easily seize the opportunity and defeat it.”

“Right now, it is constantly accumulating power to create a battle environment suitable for itself. This is indeed a good method.”

The instructor with the glasses looked at the command tower on the right. “That freshman named Su Hao has good command skills but the difference between the first and second evolution types is just too big. A bit of tactics can’t make up for it.”

Both of them were instructors in charge of collecting intelligence. When they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like Su Hao is indeed just a student who’s training through the league, not a trump card.”

“It’s very normal. How many people in the history of the entire Dragon Nation are natural-born Domainers like Lan Qing?”

…

On the command tower, Su Hao looked across to the other side.

Vines interweaved continuously, turning into an air-tight plant castle. The Vine Demon hidden inside could no longer be seen.

Suddenly, the Vine Castle shook slightly, and emerald green blade leaves shot out from inside.

Unique skill “Leaf Blade Flying Daggers”.

The blade leaf cut through the air and hit the low-hanging Dumb Unicorn.

“Neighhh~!”

The Dumb Unicorn cried out as its body was surrounded with mist. In an instant, it wetted the blade leaves that flew over. Those sharp blade leaves turned into rusty iron weapons, hitting the water-blue shield weakly before falling.

When Zhao Yingxun saw this, surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

“A mere Water Cloud Horse is actually so strong?” When he saw the mist gradually covering the Vine Castle, he immediately issued a command. “Absorb the surrounding water vapor, and then… Energy Ball.”

An emerald green Energy Ball flew out with a whoosh.

It was fast and accurate, sealing off every dodging space one after another.

But what kind of Unicorn was the Dumb Unicorn? It had undergone multiple infinite energy ball training under Boss Butterfly, and also used the equipment at the special training camp to test its defense and train its dodging abilities.

It had even died countless times in the “real illusion”!

After undergoing special training of blood and tears, it could even dodge a few Energy Balls with its eyes closed~!

The footsteps of the Dumb Unicorn passed through the seal of the Energy Ball and in a moment, it appeared ten to twenty meters away from Vine Castle. It raised waves of water and blasted them forward.

At the same time, thick vines shot out of the castle and hit the waves with the sound of tearing air.

Splash~!

The water stream exploded and the vines broke through the waves, like snakes and dragons, strangling towards the Water Cloud Horse.

In the face of the menacing vines, water mist turned into a seven to eight meters-tall dragon around Dumb Unicorn. The dragon roared and collided with the incoming vines.

Splash~!

Boom~!

In the broadcasting hall, the two commentators were very surprised.

“This… doesn’t make sense!”

Huang Tianlei glanced at the live stream comments. They had already changed from “awesome commentator” to “???”.

He felt a strong sense of mockery. He composed himself and continued, “That Water Cloud Horse is very outstanding in cultivation. It was given extremely high basic attributes, which allowed it to temporarily block the Vine Demon’s attack.”

“Even so, with how the Water Cloud Horse is dodging, as long as it makes a single mistake, it will immediately lose the battle. As for the Vine Demon, its real body is still hiding in the castle. Therefore, I still foresee… the Vine Demon gaining victory.”

…

The cultivation of the Dumb Unicorn was, of course, perfect.

But with the restriction of the form ceiling, a Water Cloud Horse naturally wouldn’t be able to win head-on against a second-stage evolved Vine Demon.

“But it is a Water Unicorn Beast now. Although its form is restricted as well, its upper limit is far higher than the Water Cloud Horse, only slightly weaker than the Cloud Water Dragon Horse.”

Su Hao’s cultivation of the Dumb Unicorn had always been tackling at its foundation. It didn’t master crushing killer moves like the Dazed Crow or the Big Fat Bear.

But in terms of basic quality, it wasn’t much worse — it didn’t swallow all those water-element treasures for nothing!

If it had swallowed them for nothing, Su Hao would have to stew that unicorn!

The battle continued. The Water Cloud Horse kept moving, while the Vine Castle was still impregnable.

“Is that frost?”

In the audience, a sharp-eyed Sprite Trainer spotted the flying vines being covered in layers of white frost.

At this point, the white frost was already very obvious.

Zhao Yingxun also noticed it. “Is the temperature outside dropping rapidly? And my Vine Demon couldn’t notice the change in temperature at the first moment because it’s protected in the Vine Castle.”

Zhao Yingxun’s expression became solemn when he saw the vines quickly turning back into frost even after shaking off the fragments…

His sprite couldn’t effectively deal with large-scale freezing attacks. He could only order the Vine Demon to continue attacking the Water Cloud Horse regardless.

“Attack and defense positions have been reversed!” Si Yuerong said very quickly. “Originally, the Vine Demon was in an invincible position, but now, if the Vine Demon can’t heavily injure the Water Cloud Horse before it’s frozen, the person who loses is Zhao Yingxun.”

“The fault is not Zhao Yingxun’s carelessness. Who would have thought that the ice-element unique skill used by a non ice-element Water Cloud Horse would actually be so powerful?”

Because of his wrong prediction, Huang Tianlei was a little embarrassed and added, “I can only say that he’s indeed a top student of Whale Island University. Even an ordinary sprite has unexpected performance.”

His eyes stared at the screen.

In just a few seconds, the Vine Castle was covered with a thick layer of white frost. The vines shot out of the castle by the Vine Demon also obviously slowed down in terms of speed.

The frost turned into a layer of ice, and the ice continued to spread. In the blink of an eye, the whole castle became frost-white, and the waving vines were stuck in mid-air.

Like a statue!

Every audience in front of their televisions and computers couldn’t help but exclaim.

Outsiders felt that it was powerful and magnificent, especially under the analysis of the commentators, they understood how difficult it was for the Water Cloud Horse to win. They all started commenting “What the f*ck”.

The experts were shocked by the power of the Water Cloud Horse. It turned water into ice, and it wasn’t even injured now!

Crack ~

Crack ~

Crack~!

After freezing for a moment, cracks appeared and spread rapidly across the frozen sculpture. In an instant, the entire sculpture shattered with a boom. At the same time, the intertwined vines that were as strong as fortresses broke apart.

Together, they became ice shards.

“Wait, the judge didn’t announce the winner yet!”

As he spoke, the ground under the Water Cloud Horse cracked open. Several green-purple vines flew up with a whoosh and firmly bound the unprepared Water Cloud Horse.

At this moment, people watched the figure of the Vine Demon appear under the broken ground.

Not far away, there was also a hole under the collapsed castle — the Vine Demon had long shifted!

“What a beautiful battle tactic! Mr. Zhao Yingxun made a perfect comeback by escaping…” Huang Tianlei said.

But before he could finish the word “attack”, the Water Cloud Horse broke the binding vines into pieces of ice which dropped in all directions. Cracking sounds could be heard loudly. Then, came the howl of the Vine Demon from below the ground.

Water pillars shot up into the sky from the hole, like sharp blades constantly strangling the figure inside.

In the mist, a horse stepped on the waves and went over. Carrying a terrifying power, it bumped right into the Vine Demon wrapped within the water stream.

Boom!!!

The Vine Demon fell heavily to the ground as gravel flew everywhere. The Dumb Unicorn, which destructive power was relatively more limited, didn’t let its guard down. Instead, it continuously used unique skills.

Water bullets, water arrows, and water dragons roared as they bombarded the fallen Vine Demon.

It cracked the surrounding ground inch by inch, causing it to sink down. It only withdrew its gaze reluctantly when the judge called for it to stop.

But it was still somewhat unsatisfied.

It had been a target for too many times, but it rarely had opportunities to hit the target, neighhh~!
