After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

[In other words, within a day to a day and a half? Are you sure we'll be completely safe in the meantime?] Zhou Mingrui asked, puzzled.

Yan Wuyue replied, [According to the preparations I've made before, I can still hold on for three days.]

[You're an energy form, so normally, you won't leave anything with a smell behind. But I'm a human. Even if I try my best to control it, an odor will still be produced.]

[That's why I've been using the spiritual link to do voice transmission. It's because when I speak, my saliva might spread into the air, and they will lock onto my smell.]

[The monsters in the west have another special characteristic. Their nose is extremely sensitive to smell, so we have to be careful.]

Zhou Mingrui rubbed his glabella and said, [I understand. Then, what's that flower-like thing?]

After a long pause, Yan Wuyue said, [That's called the Flower of Souls. It's used to help me choose the direction of my abilities when I level up to level 50.]

[To be specific, you probably don't know the difference between a Summoner and a summoned spirit when they level up, right?]

Zhou Mingrui nodded.

Yan Wuyue continued, [When you summoned spirits level up, the talents or skills that you can get are all skills that belong to your race. It's like a lottery.]

[No matter how strong your spiritual power is, you can't choose the skills and talents you want, right?]

Zhou Mingrui nodded again.

Yan Wuyue paused for a moment and continued, [The Summoner's level-up can be done through our own intervention to choose the direction we want and the possible skill combinations we may get.]

[This is also why everyone is basically a combat type in the beginning. Later on, as their level and rank increase, they will gradually determine their direction.]

Zhou Mingrui frowned and said, [That's a little unfair.]

Yan Wuyue suddenly laughed. [Unfair? I don't need to explain the difference between us Summoners and summoned spirits. Do you think that's fair?]

Zhou Mingrui waved his hand and said, [No, no, no. That's not what I meant. You've misunderstood.]

[The unfairness I'm talking about is the unfairness between you and the other Summoners. Do you understand?]

Yan Wuyue glanced at Zhou Mingrui. The expression in her eyes had a special meaning.

After a long while, Yan Wuyue said, [You're right. It's indeed unfair to other Summoners, but have you thought about it? After I get these, the responsibility I have to bear is much greater than theirs.]

[Sometimes, I also want to be a carefree person who doesn't have to worry about anything or care about anything, but I have no choice.]

[Now that I've been reborn, I'm going to take on all of this. I don't need to say these clichés anymore, right?]

Zhou Mingrui shrugged his shoulders and said, [Alright, I understand what you mean. Back to the main topic. What direction do you want to develop at this time?]

Yan Wuyue fell into deep thought. Zhou Mingrui had no idea what was going on either, so he could only wait where he was.

After about half a day, Yan Wuyue said, [My previous skills were all offensive, including yours, so this time, for our cooperation in the future, we need to make some changes.]

Zhou Mingrui raised his brows. [So, you want to complement my combat style?]

Yan Wuyue waited for a few seconds before saying, [I'm going to focus on control skills and then some skills with strong offensive attributes.]

[Magic swordsman?] Zhou Mingrui said subconsciously.

[Huh?] Yan Wuyue looked at Zhou Mingrui in confusion. [How did you know?]

Zhou Mingrui pondered for a moment and said, [On the planet before I came to the illusionary spirit world, many games have this kind of job. They have control skills and strong attack power.]

[I see.] Yan Wuyue finally understood and said, [But to be precise, it should be called magic spear warrior. I don't really like swords.]

[Alright, that's all. I have a mission for you.] Yan Wuyue said.

[Say it.] Zhou Mingrui raised his brows. [You want me to activate my spiritual power to scan the outside world to ensure that I'll be able to detect any dangerous situations at the first instance, right?]

Yan Wuyue tilted her head and said with a gratified smile, [Mingrui, how long have we been together?]

Zhou Mingrui replied, [More than half a year.]

Yan Wuyue immediately continued, [How much do you think you've changed from your initial thoughts to your current thoughts?]

Zhou Mingrui laughed as well. He chuckled, [What if I tell you that I'm still the same as I was in the beginning?]

Yan Wuyue shook her head and said, [No, you've changed. I'm sure of it.]

Zhou Mingrui spread his hands and said, [Sure, whatever you say.]

[Alright, I've already reached a critical moment and can't spare much energy. I'll leave the rest to you.] Yan Wuyue closed her eyes and fell into silence.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingrui did not hesitate to push his spiritual power to its limits. He passed through the soil's restrictions and began scanning outside.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, looking down from the sky, one could see thousands of shadow leopards constantly searching the area around Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue's hiding spot.

Under the command of a shadow leopard that was not much smaller than the Shadow Leopard King, the search area began to shrink.

Based on the speed of the search, they would arrive at Zhou Mingrui and his partner's hiding spot in less than five hours.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui closed his eyes and tried his best to ensure that his spiritual scan could cover an accurate area. At the same time, he had to ensure that his spiritual energy would not be insufficient to make ends meet.

It was also at this moment that Zhou Mingrui's spiritual scan suddenly discovered that Yan Wuyue's injuries had almost recovered by 40%.

It would only take half a day for Yan Wuyue to fully recover according to the current time.

Time passed quickly, and soon, another five hours passed.

Eh?

Zhou Mingrui, who had been maintaining his spiritual scan, suddenly frowned. This was because his spiritual scan had detected traces of the shadow leopard in the outside world.

And as time passed, the number of shadow leopards began to increase, and they were constantly approaching the hiding place of the two.

Most importantly, half an hour later, Zhou Mingrui discovered that a robust shadow leopard had appeared in his spiritual scan.

The moment he saw the shadow leopard, he knew that something was wrong.

However, when he turned to look at Yan Wuyue, he found that her body was still in a critical period of recovery, so she couldn't spare any attention to see what was happening there.

Hence, Zhou Mingrui could only continue his scan, hoping that the other party would not find him.
