Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 111: The Spirit Master Who Fights Without Relying on Artifact Spirits

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Spirit Master Who Fights Without Relying on Artifact Spirits

On the plane.

Wu Ya showed a video to everyone.

In the video, a fourteen-man team from the public division of the Special Service Bureau encountered a white primate Demon Beast in the mountains.

The team launched an attack first, but just after a few exchanges, this Demon Beast devastated the team, causing severe casualties.

In the end, only one person managed to escape with their Artifact Spirit.

"The captain of this team was not weak; he was a Third Grade Spirit Master, and the other team members were all Second Grade. Yet, facing this Spirit Pattern White Ape, their strength crumbled in an instant, defeated with just a single move."

"So, our mission this time is to directly kill this Demon Beast; there’s no need to capture it."

Wu Ya spoke to everyone.

Under normal circumstances, for Demon Beasts that appear within the borders, the Special Service Bureau would generally prefer to capture them alive if their strength was not too formidable.

It’s not about protecting life or having an overflow of compassion or anything like that.

Rather, these Demon Beasts hold immense research value, whether they’re used for taming attempts, living experiments, or extracting genes for biotech development and so on.

In short, a living Demon Beast with powerful strength is highly valuable for research.

There are also quite a few such Demon Beasts within the Special Service Bureau.

However, preliminary analysis of this Spirit Pattern White Ape indicates that its strength poses a threat to them. To capture it alive would inevitably cost them dearly.

Hence, a direct kill.

An hour later.

The team reached the outskirts of Holy Spring Village and landed.

Holy Spring Village, a settlement nestled within Da Shan, remains untouched by the world’s concerns, with mountains and water nearby. In this world where technology coexists with Demon Beasts, such ancient villages are rare.

There is a spring in the village that sustains all its inhabitants; thus, it is called Holy Spring Village.

Before, they lived in peace.

But these past few days, they’ve been in a state of panic, hardly daring to stay in the village.

"Captain Wu, welcome, I am Lin Feng, the person in charge here."

As soon as they landed, someone came up to them, a middle-aged man.

He is Lin Feng, the person in charge of the public division of the Special Service Bureau.

"This Demon Beast is too vicious. Nearly our entire team was wiped out. Now that you are here, we finally feel relieved."

As he looked at the distinctly more composed Special Combat Team One, a look of relief appeared on his face.

But when his gaze swept over Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, his expression slightly faltered.

These two were too young, they were completely out of place compared to the seasoned appearances of the others.

After thinking for a moment, he couldn’t help but speak, "Captain Wu, the Demon Beast is preliminarily estimated to be a Fourth Grade Demon Beast. It must not be taken lightly."

His eyes glanced at Xiao Zhan, his meaning very clear.

Wu Ya’s tone was cool, "This is Special Combat Team’s business, you need not worry too much."

"No, no, I was simply giving a friendly reminder. Since Captain Wu doesn’t like it, then I’ll shut up."

"Tell me the situation now," Wu Ya commanded.

This irked Lin Feng slightly.

But he couldn’t do anything about it. Power meant authority—after all, weren’t they the ones lacking clout?

Lin Feng immediately took out another video, "This footage was captured by a drone reconnaissance. After the initial clash with our team, this White Ape hid deep within Da Shan."

"Da Shan is shrouded in fog with complex and rugged terrain, and there’s a unique magnetic field that makes it impossible for drones to enter. Therefore, killing this White Ape will be complicated and dangerous."

Wu Ya glanced at the video, which contained no valuable information, only a glimpse of the White Ape disappearing into the thick fog.

She then turned around, ready to lead her team into Da Shan.

At this moment, Lin Feng hurriedly called out again, "Captain Wu, there are two villagers here familiar with the paths inside. They’ve volunteered to guide."

Wu Ya turned back and saw two villagers, a man and a woman, both around thirty years of age.

"Are you both Spirit Masters?"

"Yes."

"Guiding us will be dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?"

The man was very determined, even showing a hint of anger on his face, "That Demon Beast killed my relatives; I must seek revenge!"

"Leave the revenge to us; guiding will be your responsibility."

Wu Ya accepted their offer. The mountains were shrouded in fog, and the dangers unknown; having someone familiar with the terrain to guide them was a good thing.

"What’s your name?"

"My name is Da Shan, and this is my wife Xiujuan."

"Good, you must follow my orders on the road."

"Yes."

And so, the group set off.

The path ahead was cleared by drone reconnaissance, making the journey easy.

As they reached the latter half, the drones could no longer serve their purpose, the path became rough, and visibility worsened.

Da Shan cautioned from the front, "The mountain is foggy all year round, and many low-ranking Demon Beasts dwell here. They are excellent at camouflage, and most of them are poisonous, so you have to be careful."

Such warnings were necessary.

But it was only really necessary for the rest of the team. As for Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, their Perception Abilities were like cheats in any terrain environment.

Forest maze in the mist?

Non-existent for them.

After walking for nearly two hours, the group found traces of the Spirit Pattern White Ape.

Tufts of blood-stained fur.

It seemed that although the team was wiped out, they managed to inflict some injury on the Demon Beast.

"There’s a large cave up ahead. If nothing unexpected, it should be hiding inside the cave," Da Shan said.

"How do you know it’s hiding in the cave?" Wu Ya asked.

"Oh, because this Demon Beast didn’t appear suddenly. In the past, when we went into the mountains, we’d occasionally catch glimpses of this Demon Beast," Da Shan explained.

"Then why didn’t you report it earlier?"

"This Demon Beast had never harmed us before, and also, very few people from our village go out, so we never paid attention to it. Who knew it would suddenly go mad like this."

Wu Ya listened to his explanation and spoke coldly, "Demon Beasts are not animals; their place is either in a cage or in Hell."

"Yes, yes, I understand," Da Shan said evasively.

Wu Ya’s presence was too strong, and even as a man, he dared not look her in the eye.

After that, Da Shan continued to lead the way toward the cave he had mentioned.

After they had traveled for a while longer.

Suddenly, within Xiao Zhan’s Perception range, he sensed the energy fluctuations of a Demon Beast.

But at the same time, he also spotted a person.

"There’s someone one thousand meters directly ahead, a man," Xiao Zhan immediately alerted the team.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Are you sure it’s just one person?" Wu Ya emphasized.

Xiao Zhan knew what she meant and quickly replied, "Just one person, a man, with no Artifact Spirit. And it seems he’s fighting with the Demon Beast!"

Xiao Zhan suddenly felt it was incredulous.

Without relying on an Artifact Spirit, daring to fight a Demon Beast with one’s own strength alone—how formidable must this person be?
