Chapter 87: Battle Club
Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat had long lost their battle intentions.
In terms of raw strength, they were inferior to the Clear Jade Lotus.
The strength of the middle-aged guard’s other sprite, Whirlwind Rabbit, was also not weaker than Zhu Mingda’s Leaf Blade Warrior.
It was able to exchange three to five moves with an ordinary elite.
There was also the Bursting Flame Bat, which was a little terrorized by Reverie Butterfly.
The two Sprite Hunters didn’t dare to fight at all. They imitated what Su Hao did previously by escaping into the Storm Belt with the help of the explosion of flames.
But…
They weren’t familiar with the Storm Belt.
They could only run about like headless flies. Moreover, Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat were not sprites that were good at protection.
Before long, they were caught up by the guard uncle who was familiar with the terrain.
Together with another guard who came from the depths of the Valley of Sighs after receiving the alarm, the two Sprite Hunters were soon surrounded.
…
A moment later…
The two Sprite Hunters were bound by ropes while Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat were heavily injured. After that, the middle-aged guard used a special net he found from the Sprite Hunters to firmly tie them together.
It didn’t take much effort.
The other guard who rushed over from the depths of the Valley was very surprised.
His sprite was a Sea-Tide Frog King, which couldn’t be compared to Heavenly King Zhou’s as it was only the size of a small sedan.
It was elite-level.
And it was a veteran across this level.
However, when he heard his colleague shout out that both the Hunters’ sprites were elite-level, he was already mentally prepared for a tough battle.
In the end…
After a few moves, the two Hunters’ sprites fell flat on the ground.
“Are they really Sprite Hunters?”
The eyes of the two bound hunters were fierce.
If not for that Reverie Butterfly, how would they have fallen into the hands of a mere guard!
They would have… escaped a long time ago!
Of course, the Sea-Tide Frog King’s Sprite Trainer also noticed that Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat were already covered in wounds when he bumped into them.
He smiled and asked, “Old Zhou, has your Clear Jade Lotus broke through again? It actually became so fierce that it can chase them away in a one against two battle.”
The Sea-Tide Frog King’s bell-sized eyes looked towards the Clear Jade Lotus hovering at a low altitude. It felt like it was about to lose its title as the number one sprite in the Valley.
The middle-aged guard, surnamed Zhou, shook his head with a bitter smile. “It’s not my credit, but this little brother’s sprite. When I arrived, Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat were already very tired.”
“It’s an elite?”
He looked at it. It didn’t look like an elite.
Uncle Zhou said, “It’s entry level.”
He opened his mouth, exchanged a look with his colleague, and looked up at the sky.
A moment later…
Zhu Mingda and the other employees of the Valley of Sighs finally rushed over.
His Leaf Blade Warrior had already been sent for treatment.
“Is your Reverie Butterfly alright… eh?”
He saw the somewhat tired Reverie Butterfly.
It formed a strong contrast with the half-dead Killer Mantis and Bursting Flame Bat.
At this moment…
Su Hao waited and waited. Finally…
“You’re the high-schooler who discovered the evolution pathway of Reverie Butterfly?!”
He looked at the few Sprite Trainers who were shocked, then enlightened before showing an expression suggesting the thought “no wonder they were so strong”.
He nodded as a response, maintaining a humble smile.
Don’t be excited. Just sit down… lie down.
…
The two Sprite Hunters were captured. On the rock wall, the entry-level Vine Snake was also dealt with by the flying sprites that came later.
Su Hao followed the employees of the Valley of Sighs and returned to the entrance management office.
Then, he watched the guard upload the looks of the two hunters for an identity scan. Soon, there was a result.
“They are wanted criminals Chen Wu and Liu Qi. Three years ago, they committed the crime of ordering sprites to murder people. I didn’t expect that they had been hiding in the New World all this while and even became Sprite Hunters.”
A manager from the Valley of Sighs rubbed his temples.
The two Sprite Hunters, Chen Wu and Liu Qi, were nothing much. They were just ordinary elites but for them to be able to live in the New World for so long and for them to possess such advanced equipment, they must have had… some kind of channel and provider.
There were even more implications behind this.
For example, the question on how to send the captured sprites out and who their daily-life suppliers were, etc.
He didn’t dare to think too much about it.
He just wanted to stay in this position peacefully.
“They probably have their eyes on your Reverie Butterfly,” said the manager. “But in the end, it’s our management’s negligence…”
He looked at Su Hao and Zhu Mingda. “For this matter, our Valley of Sighs will compensate the two of you to a certain extent.”
Although the loss wasn’t big and he even caught two Hunters.
This was the result of the Reverie Butterfly’s miraculous performance as well as Su Hao’s agile response.
It couldn’t conceal their negligence in managing the Valley of Sighs.
The manager could only be thankful that there were no injuries or deaths. Otherwise, it would be the end of his position.
Compensating Su Hao and Zhu Mingda with some resources wasn’t much.
In any case… it was in the name of the Valley of Sighs.
Managers didn’t need to pay out of their own pockets.
…
It was already a day later when Su Hao returned to the Sprite Trainer gathering center in Magic City.
Zhu Mingda had also put down his job as a guide and returned to Dragon Nation with him. However, the expression on Zhu Mingda’s face was even more excited than his own.
“I actually went head-on against an elite Sprite Trainer!”
“And get beaten half to death?”
“Uh…”
Zhu Mingda choked for a moment, but it was Su Hao who brought him here after all, so he didn’t hold it against him. “Brother Su, where are you going next? Let’s eat first, it’s my treat. Do you want to enroll in Magic City’s Sprite University for the college entrance examination?”
“I’m being long-winded…”
Su Hao was also considering it.
He had originally chosen a few special training grounds.
But…
He was already targeted by the Sprite Hunters so he could only give up certain places that weren’t safe enough.
It was somewhat beyond his expectations that the Dark Net would actually put up a bounty on Reverie Butterfly.
Wasn’t it just a sprite with exceptional talent? It’s making such a big deal out of nothing!
If he created something else in the future, wouldn’t they all jump up into the sky?
“I wonder what the bounty is?”
“Gurgle?”
Reverie Butterfly patted his head. It kept feeling that Su Hao was thinking about something bad.
“Let’s eat first.”
Su Hao brushed past Zhu Mingda without any hesitation. After lunch, he went to a battle club somewhere in Magic City under his introduction.
White Elephant Battle Club.
“Hello, sir. We are divided into official battle areas and ordinary battle areas. We have…”
The girl who greeted him introduced the glorious history of the White Elephant Battle Club before selling him the monthly card.
She asked him questions such as whether he needed to hire Sprite Trainers as sparring partners.
Su Hao rejected them all.
“Ordinary battle area will do.”
The only one he wanted to train was Little Fire Crow.
“Squawk?”
Compared to Reverie Butterfly, Little Fire Crow lacked battle experience. During the joint examination, it had only beaten a few weak sprites, or shouted 666 behind Silkworm Baby at that time.
They hadn’t experienced many battles where they were evenly matched.
It just so happened that in Magic City, the standard of non-academic sprites was quite high.
Only by nurturing Little Fire Crow and complementing it with Reverie Butterfly would they be able to overcome their shortcomings better in the college entrance examination four to five months later.
He just didn’t know what the college entrance examination rules were.
“Perhaps, I should consider contracting a third sprite.”
His remaining soul power had already satisfied the lowest point.
But whether it was at the Sprite Care House or the Free-Range Sprite Breeding Center, they only sold ordinary and common sprites.
Even in Magic City, with just money, the sprites that could be bought were similar to those in Yunhua if you did not have channels or connections.
“Why don’t you consider Wood Mantis? It has a rare evolution type that has yet to be discovered, Prayer Mantis.”
Prayer Mantis shouldn’t be weak. In the later stage, it might very well have dual attributes like the Reverie Butterfly pathway.
But…
“The positioning is a bit overlapping. Right now, I need a meat-shield sprite that can tank and bring me running around.”
While thinking, he followed the staff member to the ordinary battle area.
He pushed open the door and heard a commotion.
