Chapter 18 - Capture Successful

Fang Xuan frowned slightly. There was nothing wrong with the mission requirements, but there were five purple stars below. Upon closer inspection, there was even lightning flashing.

Look at my life, why is it another five-star mission…

Fang Xuan didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky to have two consecutive five-star missions right after advancing to the first transition.

Logically speaking, although five-star missions were difficult, the rewards were also more generous. Even a first transition five-star mission was enough for him to live on for a few years, let alone equipment like the Flame Wristguards and rare herbs.

Lightning-type missions were different from fire-type missions. Monsters were hidden in the lightning net and were not easy to kill. Moreover, the lightning net itself was aggressive.

In other words, if you want to complete the mission, you have to experience numbing electrotherapy.

Overall, it was similar to the burning effect of the fire element. It was just that there was no need to separate energy around him to protect him at all times. Instead, he could instantly gather energy to defeat the enemy through the electric net.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and suddenly remembered the other purpose of this mission: to capture bug-type beasts.

Then, he looked at the name of the Boss on the token—Lightning Bug King. He grinned.

Wasn't this just bumping into his own gun?

In front of Fang Xuan was a teleportation array. However, this teleportation array was jointly built by the school and the guild. It was only a few steps away from Cloud Academy.

He could only disguise himself slightly and take out a black robe from his storage ring to wear.

With a flash of light, the scenery in front of him changed to another area filled with lightning.

Although this was the second time he had used a teleportation array, the spatial laws of this teleportation array still made him click his tongue. He did not know when he would be able to carve a teleportation array.

The two sides of this area were different from the Flame Mountain. Instead, they were surrounded by towering trees. Only a few narrow paths could be walked.

Occasionally, there would be a dense electric net in the trunk of the towering tree. Although Fang Xuan could not see the scene inside with his naked eye, he knew that one of his missions was inside.

However, judging from the number, it was obviously not a boss. The Lightning Bug King was Fang Xuan's real target, so he decided to find the latter when he was in his best condition.

"I didn't see Ning Lanqing…" he muttered.

Indeed, not to mention Ning Lanqing, he did not even see a single person. On one hand, this was a training area to begin with. Moreover, it seemed that there were only a few people in the entire Chuyun City who dared to directly accept a five-star mission with their first transition strength.

However, this was also good. His relationship with Ning Lanqing was already a little ambiguous. If his strength was really exposed, it would cause unnecessary trouble for both sides. Moreover, it would be difficult to split the spoils.

He stopped and walked along the way, following the direction of the token before finally finding the general direction. Now, he was standing in front of a huge purple ball of light. Lightning as thick as an arm could be vaguely seen flickering in the ball of light. Compared to the scene on the tree trunk outside, it was a completely different scene. It was very terrifying.

It seemed that this was the biggest boss of this trip, the Lightning Bug King.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath. From the insect hunting guide, he roughly understood the habits of this thing. It stayed in his light ball in the place where lightning wreaked havoc, similar to the small fries outside.

If he wanted to capture him with the highest success rate, the closer he was, the better. Therefore, he had to lure this guy out first.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Flame Bracer on his left arm.

After a day of practice, he had roughly figured out how to use this equipment. However, this was the first time he had tested it on a living creature.

Fang Xuan slowly gathered the energy on his left arm. The originally dim and colorless crystal on the wrist guard instantly became hot, and its color turned red. The air around the entire wrist guard distorted, as if something was burning it out of thin air.

Seeing that he had accumulated enough energy, Fang Xuan raised his hand and waved it out of thin air. A ball of pure flame energy flew over like a meteor. A moment later, the part that collided with the purple ball of light instantly exploded and shattered. Countless flaming meteors fell from the sky.

When the smoke dissipated, a fist-sized hole appeared on the purple ball of light. Flames were still burning around the hole, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger.

Buzz—

A buzzing sound that made one's scalp tingle came from inside. Anger was exposed.

His home was about to be demolished, so it was normal for him to go crazy.

Fang Xuan took a step forward and held the dagger tightly in his hand, waiting for his prey to come out of the cave.

As expected, two sickle-shaped claws covered in barbs stretched out from the hole and tore the purple ball of light that enveloped him into pieces.

A few blood-red eyes stared at the uninvited guest below. A pile of transparent wings flapped slowly, bringing with it a condescending pressure.

The buzzing sound was like a curse that resounded throughout the entire lightning forest. Fang Xuan frowned slightly and did not say anything else. After accumulating a little energy, he suddenly threw out a second fireball. The former was caught off guard and hurriedly dodged to the side. Although he avoided the vital parts, one of his wings was completely charred. He lost his ability to balance and was about to fall from the sky.

Fang Xuan grinned. 'That's what he wants.'

Taking advantage of the fact that the Lightning Worm King had yet to recover, he nimbly tapped on the huge trees on both sides and avoided the electric net above. He arrived in front of the Lightning Worm King and looked straight at the other party's triangular head.

Upon closer inspection, this Lightning Bug King looked a little like a huge saber beetle. Its size was similar to the Flame Commander, but it had been hunched over and looked a little shorter. Now that the two of them were facing each other in the air, they were on par.

"Capture, activate!" Seeing that the time was ripe, he did not delay and directly activated the capturing skill of the ant.

As if there was some kind of magic, the Lightning Bug King's body fell straight to the ground following Fang Xuan's shout. With a muffled thud, it fell to the ground.

Fang Xuan returned to the ground and looked down at the dumbfounded Lightning Bug King.

At the same time, the latter's wings quickly recovered. Like the Flame Commander, the lightning attribute energy here was too abundant. He only needed to take a short breath to recover from his injuries and consumption through the surrounding natural energy.

Therefore, there was a reason why he was rated as a five-star when carrying out a mission in such a place.

At this moment, Fang Xuan had no time to think about this. The feedback in his mind told him that he had already established a connection with the Lightning Bug King in front of him. In other words, the capture was very successful. Moreover, the Lightning Bug King had brought him a new innate skill—Lightning Domain.

Just as its name suggested, this was a domain-type ability. It could not cause direct damage, but it could bring a huge increase to one's own side. It could be said to be priceless.
