Chapter 86 There’s news
Otherwise, the breeder who fed Wu Anbang’s wife as a spiritual pet had deceived her. After gaining her trust, what did he do to her spiritual pet behind her back...
Seeing her expression, Wu Jingyu immediately thought of something. Just as he was about to ask her, the door to the private room was opened.
It was Wu Anbang who walked in...
"Thank you for your hard work today. If you come here these days, you can come here to get food. Consider it a thank you gift from me." Wu Anbang said to Lin Manman.
"Uncle Wu, there's no need to be so polite. I didn't help much..." Xiao Qi's treatment had no effect, and Lin Manman was embarrassed to accept his thanks.
Wu Anbang smiled slightly, "Compared with the money spent on hiring a pastor before, these meals are nothing."
Then he and Xia Ming nodded, sat down next to him, and raised their hands to invite her and Wu Jingyu to come to the table to eat together.
The food is rich and tastes very good.
After a quiet meal, Lin Manman decided to tell Wu Anbang the clues she had thought of, so that she could feel more at ease accepting the thank you gift.
Wu Anbang was silent for a long time after listening, and then slowly spoke.
"It's been too long. After my wife fell into a coma, the breeders were all sent away. I don't know where they are now. But I still want to thank you for the clues you provided. I will investigate in this direction."
"The return landcraft has been arranged for you. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."
Lin Manman felt a little inconsistent with Wu Anbang's somewhat dull reaction.
But maybe he was just more concerned about saving his wife than finding out the truth.
Xia Ming didn't know what they had done today, and it was hard to ask them at the dinner table. Wu Anbang sent them to the land vehicle, and then he asked.
Wu Jingyu spoke softly but in detail about what happened in the afternoon, and even praised Lin Manman with some personal details. He could not praise Lin Manman enough.
Xia Ming nodded, lowered his eyes and thought about something, and then stopped talking.
I don’t know if Xia Ming made arrangements in advance when she came back. When she returned to the hotel, the person who pretended to be them was no longer in the room.
Wu Jingyu was assigned another room by Xia Ming, so Lin Manman still slept alone in the original room.
Her aunt and Fang Yaqi didn't seem to realize that she was not the one who returned to the hotel today. This feeling of being impostered without anyone noticing made Lin Manman feel... strange.
Looking back on what happened today, the fact that Wu Anbang's wife was betrayed by the contract made her feel that it was not that simple.
If Wu Anbang's wife was killed, then either he and his wife had an enmity with others, so they were retaliated by others. Either someone came here for his special status.
It's just that this matter has little to do with her, and it's not easy for her to ask too much.
After sighing softly, she forced herself not to think too much.
There is a game tomorrow, so she should rest early.
The next day was a 32-to-16 singles match, with eight games in the morning and eight games in the afternoon. Lin Manman was lucky today. He drew the No. 3 pick, and the game could end in the morning.
After she finished the competition, she could take Xiaoqi and her friends to play happily~
While waiting for the first two games, Lin Manman was chatting with Wu Jingyu while trying to find her in the crowd. I haven't seen my senior brother for two days.
Seeing that tomorrow was the last day of the competition, there was still no news about the mysterious person and the mysterious organization behind him, and she couldn't really settle down in her heart.
Xia Ming seemed to have noticed something and spoke to comfort her. "Captain Wu is well prepared. You don't have to worry about anything, just play with peace of mind."
Lin Manman nodded in agreement, but still couldn't let go.
It was Lin Manman's turn to play. This time her opponent was a tall and handsome female mage. She had short wolf tail hair and a unique silver ornament on her right ear.
"I didn't expect that the Living King of Hell would put me in the queue." The female mage said with a smile.
When Lin Manman heard her calling him the Living King of Hell, he smiled politely and without saying anything, he directly raised his hand to summon Amber.
The female mage's eyes lit up when she saw Amber.
As the referee's whistle blew, Amber rushed forward impatiently. With yesterday's experience, it also knows that as long as it performs well, it will have more meat to eat.
The female mage held a long-handled staff in her hand. The staff slowly drew a circle, and a layer of black ice armor suddenly appeared on her body. As soon as the armor covered her body, her staff lit up again.
While Amber was running, he was suddenly stopped by a huge ice spike shooting out of the ground.
Seeing that he was about to hit an ice thorn without braking urgently, Amber subconsciously wanted to use his talent, but he thought of Lin Manman's request yesterday. It quickly opened its mouth again, and a beam of blazing flame light was sprayed on the tip of the ice spike. After the high temperature melted the extremely lethal spike, Amber hit the icicle head first.
"Ouch..."
Although this action did not cause much damage to Amber, the huge inertia still made it feel pain.
It looked at the female mage opposite, as if she had a grudge against the other person and made herself embarrassed. With a roar, Amber used the result of his training yesterday - multiple fireballs. With yesterday's training, Amber's fireball technique can already fire five fireballs at the same time, but the power of the fireball is much smaller than that of a single fireball technique.
The female mage didn't panic at all when she saw this move, and even smiled. Then the staff tapped forward, and a thick ice wall rose from the ground.
Amber was dumbfounded when he saw that the fireball technique he was full of confidence was blocked by the ice wall.
While it was dazed, the female mage opposite was not idle. The staff moved forward, and a row of ice spikes condensed in mid-air, and then shot towards Amber quickly.
Fortunately, Kohaku's movements were not slow, and he dodged the attack by jumping left and right.
The female mage missed one blow and then another. Amber was attacked one after another, and finally realized that it was being forced back by the attacks, and the distance between it and the female mage was getting farther and farther.
Its fireball technique was easily blocked by the opponent, and its fire-breathing attack range was out of reach. For a while, it couldn't think of a better attack method.
"It's up there! Her ice wall can't defend it up there!" Lin Manman, who had looked at her in silence for a long time with her hands folded, finally couldn't help but remind her.
Amber's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard her voice. Yes, why didn't it think of it? Sure enough, the master is smart!
While avoiding the spell attack from the female mage, Amber tried hard to control the fireball to form in mid-air.
Because I had to be distracted to dodge the attack, the fireball never managed to condense, so I just jumped here and there to avoid it for almost ten minutes.
Suddenly, the temperature in the competition venue increased significantly. Above the female mage's head, star-like light spots suddenly lit up one after another.
Those light spots grew rapidly and turned into a fireball the size of a human head.
At the same time, Lin Manman also heard the sweet prompt tone of the system again.
[Spiritual Pet Amber Comprehension Skill: Bolide: Condensing a large amount of fire element energy into a large fireball, attacking the target within a certain range. 】
This time the female mage was dumbfounded. She didn't hear what Lin Manman said.
But she knew clearly that in addition to having defensive skills, she was also equipped with protective gear, so even if Amber could really fire a fireball from above her head, she could still resist until she was out of the attack range.
But that was her estimate based on the power of the Amber Multiple Fireball Technique. Now this...that huge single bolide is several times or even dozens of times larger than the original fireball technique, not to mention that there is a large bolide like this. How to carry it?
Without giving her any extra time to think, the attack came down quickly. She could only release spell attacks to resist some of the bolides that fell down, while relying on defensive skills and protective gear to resist the unprotected bolides.
Fortunately, Amber is only at Level 2 now, and the proficiency of the skill she just learned is not very high. Although the bolide has good lethality, its range is not very large.
The female mage took five or six hits of fireball damage and escaped from the range of the skill.
It's just that these five or six blows have exhausted the energy of her protective gear, and the Xuanbing armor also shattered.
As soon as she came out of the attack range, she wanted to patch up the Xuanbing armor.
However, Kohaku didn't just stand still and wait for her to escape after releasing the bolide.
Amber, who had already been approaching, took advantage of the moment when she failed to patch up her Xuanbing armor, and four chains formed by flames bound her limbs at the same time.
The chains formed by the flames would inhibit the movement of energy in her body, so after being tied, she could not use magic to break free.
As Amber sprinted closer, one end of the weapon landed on her body, knocking her away.
Predicting that the opponent's foothold was still inside the ring, he also added a fireball attack, which directly caused the opponent to be hit twice in the air, and finally fell outside the ring.
Seeing Amber's proud look of revenge, Lin Manman laughed out loud.
It turns out that besides Hongyu, Amber also loves to hold grudges.
Hearing Lin Manman's laughter, Amber immediately ran back to her, her shining eyes filled with the desire to be praised and rewarded.
"Wow, Amber, you are so awesome. You have actually learned a new skill! Although you joined our family late, your intelligence is definitely among the top in our family! I will give you two more pieces of meat today!"
Amber narrowed her eyes at the praise, and walked around her with her head held high and the catwalk.
"Okay, okay, the referee has announced that we have won, it's time to go down. Others still want to compete." After saying that, he put away Amber who wanted to use the ring as a T stage, and turned back to Wu Jingyu and Xia Ming.
After sitting down, she discovered that her bracelet showed unread messages. When she opened it, she saw that it was the message Gao Zhixian had sent back to her. It should have been sent to her during the competition just now.
The content of the message not only told her that the beast master's backlash from the contract could only be caused by the spiritual pet's counterattack before its soul collapsed.
He also mentioned to her the latest developments regarding the corpse of the strange spiritual beast. What is certain is that it is indeed a deformed spiritual beast whose evolution has been forcibly interfered with by human means.
The good news is that while the body of this thing evolved abnormally, it was also contaminated by energy that could not be absorbed and transformed normally. Therefore, most of them did not live long and their bodies were very fragile.
The bad news is that, judging from the way this thing evolved, this one does not seem to have been studied alone. It is more likely that it was created through batch experiments.
In other words, there are probably... many more weird spiritual beasts like this that can use soul impact talents!
