Summoners were powerful because they could summon creatures from other worlds.
Summoning a creature from another world into the real world required a large amount of spiritual energy and vitality. Some summoners would forcefully summon it because they did not have enough vitality. In the end, it was not uncommon for them to become a human corpse before the summoned beast could be summoned.
Therefore, in order to take a shortcut, sacrifices were born. [Search for the latest updates at Zhuixiaoshuo.com]
The sacrifice could be a living person, a dead person, a bug, a zombie, or even the flesh and soul of the summoner.
Just like money, the more money one had, the better the item one could buy. Similarly, the higher the quality of the sacrifice, the greater the effect it would have on the summoning.
For example, the Level 1 Blood Sucking Worm could summon Skeleton Soldiers, the Level 2 Red-crowned Beetle could summon Iron-armored Corpses, the Level 3 Poison Griffin could summon Tyrannosaurus, and the Level 4 Thunder Eagle could summon Lightning Giants...
Of course, just like in the real world, if one occasionally spent a large sum of money, they would still be able to buy fakes, second-hand goods, and knock-offs. Summoning with sacrifices would also occasionally summon a scammer-using high-level goods like bone dragons and zombie kings as sacrifices would only summon goblins and wild boars in the end. It was not known how many Summoners had died under the scourge of such " fake and inferior " products!
Even Li Jia Yu had failed miserably once. His Demon Hunt Squad had received a mission to suppress the Black Knight couple. When the main battle members of the team had used all their strength to kill the female Black Knight, the team was already exhausted and on the verge of collapse. The only hope for the team was Li Jia Yu's sacrificial summoning. As long as he used the female Black Knight's corpse to summon the corresponding summoned beast, it would be much easier to deal with the remaining male Black Knight.
However, the pitiful Li Jiayu actually summoned a hen in the end!
Amidst the clucking of the hen, everyone in Li Jia Yu's Demon Hunt Squad was so angry that they vomited blood. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat, leaving behind the corpses of their two teammates. Every time Li Jia Yu thought about it, she felt indignant and self-reproach.
Of course, at that time, Li Jiayu was only an Apprentice Summoner, so it was normal for her to make mistakes. However, after Li Jiayu advanced to a Great Summoner, there were no more mistakes.
On the other hand, just like the 6-in-1 lottery in the real world, sometimes a Summoner could summon a Summoned Beast that far exceeded the level of the sacrifice. If you were lucky enough to become rich overnight, you might even use an ordinary sow to summon a Frost Dragon!
However, the probability of this happening was close to zero, but it did not mean that it was impossible.
Therefore, the Summoner profession was a gambler's profession. If one was lucky enough, they could turn the tables and determine the outcome. If their luck was so bad, they might die at the end of the street and even drag the entire team down with them.
Now, Li Jiayu wanted to gamble again!
The Sickle Beetle in front of him was a mid-tier Level 1 sacrifice. If nothing went wrong, Li Jiayu could use it to summon creatures like skeleton soldiers, fairies, berserk goblins, and orcs. If she was lucky, she might be able to summon high-tier Level 1 creatures like little Nagas, ogres, and green bear beasts.
As long as he had a Summoned Beast to protect him, Li Jiayu believed that with his command and his skillful axe skills, he would definitely be able to fight against the Red-Top Beetles head-on. When the time came, he would be able to split them up and kill more than ten Red-Top Beetles at the first moment. He would be able to obtain the Insect Crystal and get his first bucket of gold in the apocalypse!
"Li Jiayu…You, can you stop talking about us peeing our pants all the time? It's so embarrassing. We didn't pee our pants on purpose…"
Sun Weiwei's face turned red as she puffed and puffed. She remembered that Li Jiayu used to be very polite and gentlemanly. He was very good to girls and was known as a woman's friend. But now, no matter what he said or did, it was easy for women to blush…She really didn't know what medicine he had taken to make such a big change.
"Who told you girls to pee standing up? I can't say anything about how you guys pee. Peeing while standing is obviously a male's specialty. You guys are copying me. Look, your pants are wet, right?”
Li Jiayu was in a good mood and didn't mind making another joke. However, he stopped while he was ahead. Seeing that the girl's face was rosy and she was so ashamed that she almost cried, he stopped talking nonsense and changed the topic.
"Move aside, I want to deal with its corpse.”
Although the students didn't understand how Li Jiayu was going to deal with it, they still obediently followed her instructions out of trust. They tactfully retreated. However, they still kept a close eye on Li Jiayu's every move, curious about what more surprising things he would do next.
"Who has a knife?" Li Jiayu touched the blood stain on her face caused by the sickle-shaped beetle and suddenly asked.
One of the students hurriedly handed over a small fruit knife, the kind that was attached to a keychain. It would definitely not be useful against insects, but it was enough to cut his wrist.
In fact, it was possible to use an axe to cut one's wrist. However, the fire axe was stained with the blood of the insects. Although it was not poisonous, it would contaminate Li Jiayu's blood.
"Jiayu, why do you need a knife? Dissect bugs?"
"…" Li Jiayu was completely speechless by a certain girl's question. She held her breath and said stiffly,"
"No, I'm using it to let my blood flow."
As she spoke, Li Jiayu had already cut her elbow with a small knife. Blood immediately gushed out from the wound and dripped down the skin onto the insect's corpse.
All the students stared with their eyes wide open. They could not understand why Li Jiayu had harmed herself. However, when they saw Li Jiayu's serious gaze, they obediently shut up and did not dare to disturb him so as not to distract him.
After that, Li Jiayu's fingers flew around like a butterfly flying through flowers. She made a few hand seals and chanted an obscure incantation. In the eyes of the students, she really looked like a strange person. She was not a charlatan who pretended to be a ghost, but a magician in a game or an Eastern Taoist priest.
"…In the endless void and deep cracks, even if we are separated by thousands of layers of spatial barriers, we are still connected by fate…I am the Summoner of the Central World, Li Jiayu. Please listen to my call…"
Just as Li Jiayu was reciting the incantation with a solemn expression, Wang Siyuan's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed,"
"Jiayu! Another sickle-shaped beetle!"
Li Jiayu was shocked. She quickly looked out of the window and saw another red sickle-shaped beetle flying in the air dozens of meters away. Its compound eyes were flowing with the light of hatred. It was obvious that it regarded Li Jiayu as an enemy and wanted to avenge its companion who was trampled under Li Jiayu's feet!
"Bastard! It's the Sickle Beetle King!"
Li Jiayu's heart was in turmoil. He could no longer remain calm. He did not expect the second Sickle Beetle to come so quickly, and it was a red Sickle Beetle King!
It was an existence that was even more powerful than ordinary sickle-shaped beetles. It had reached the advanced level of Level One, which was the same level as the red-top beetle. However, its speed was terrifying. In terms of lethality, the sickle-shaped beetle king was much more powerful than the red-top beetle!
(How could this be…It's too dangerous to encounter the Sickle Beetle King at this time. The chance of winning against it is less than 30%. Time, oh time, why didn't you give me two more seconds…)
"Swoosh!"
The Sickle Beetle King charged at him without saying a word. Its speed was so fast that no one could react in time. Li Jiayu's scalp went numb, but he still relied on his sharp battle instincts to roll on the ground. With a whoosh, he felt the Sickle Beetle King fly past him!
Fortunately, the Sickle Beetle King's attack didn't hurt Li Jiayu. However, it crashed into a male student not far behind Li Jiayu!
Without any suspense, the male student's chest was instantly cut in half by the Sickle Beetle King's jaw, starting from the breast line. His head and half of his chest were sent flying while blood spurted out!
"Ah!"
At this moment, the students finally reacted. Because of extreme fear, they let out terrified screams. No matter how scared they were before, the insects had not really hurt them, but…this time, it was a real bloody dismemberment. The one who was dismembered was the classmate they had been with for more than a year, a close friend. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into two pieces of flesh and blood!
What was even more shocking was that the blood of the dead classmate sprayed on their faces. They were completely frightened. Even their legs went soft and they did not dodge at all!
The Scythe Beetle King would not pity these frightened students. It turned around, opened its scythe-like jaws, and pinched the nearest student again. As if it was cutting vegetables, it immediately broke the student's legs. Then, as the student screamed, it crawled to the upper body of the student who was still struggling on the ground and pierced his heart with its sharp front legs as if it was demonstrating its power!
The poor student with two broken legs spat out a large pool of blood from his mouth. He twitched and died.
It took less than two seconds for the sickle-shaped beetle to kill the two students. At this time, Li Jiayu was completely furious. He half-supported his body and finally finished chanting the last summoning spell in a ferocious and furious manner.
" Please listen to my call, become my partner, and fight alongside me. I will pay my sacrifices, and I will retain my incomparable respect for you…Come out, my new partner!”
Li Jiayu had just finished reciting the spell when the air around her became as thick as a paste. It was like the eve of a storm, so stifling that it was hard to breathe.
A bright light appeared under Li Jiayu's feet. There were faint strange patterns, like a magic array!
At this moment, the Scythe Beetle King looked at Li Jiayu, who was acting strangely. It opened and closed its sickle-like jaws, letting out a sharp cry, and was about to charge at Li Jiayu!
"Pa!"
A hammer was thrown out of his hand, hitting the head of the Sickle Beetle King with a dull thud.
That person was Sun Weiwei!
When she saw that Li Jiayu was in danger, she planned to use herself to attract the Beetle King's attention and buy time for Li Jiayu!
This stupid woman, does she want to die? Although your spirit is commendable, I, Li Jiayu, don't need a woman like you to pity me…
Seeing the Sickle Beetle King turn around and look at Sun Weiwei, Li Jiayu was furious and anxious. She threw the fire axe in her hand fiercely. The fire axe was so fast that it hit the compound eye of the Sickle Beetle King. A large lump of red juice burst out, and the fire axe was caught in the muscle of the compound eye!
"Wuuu!"
The Scythe Beetle King cried out in pain. It flapped its wings as fast as a fan in anger and flew into the air again. It was ready to attack again. It was obvious that it wanted to launch a fatal midair collision against Li Jiayu!
At this moment, Li Jiayu's heart skipped a beat. He felt that a bridge of communication had been established in his heart!
(Coming! He was here! My summoning companion is finally here!）
Li Jiayu was screaming in his heart like a raging flame. He was extremely excited, but the wound on his wrist also instantly spurted out large amounts of blood!
(Why did it draw so much blood from me…But, the more blood it draws, the stronger it is…Don't disappoint me!)）
The Sickle Beetle King had already charged at Li Jiayu. It was only three to four meters away from Li Jiayu. In less than 0.1 seconds, Li Jiayu would most likely be beheaded!
One meter…
Two meters…
The Sickle Beetle King had only rushed out two meters when suddenly, a black shadow appeared above its head. It brought with it a strong fishy smell and pressed down on it!
"Boom!"
The sickle-shaped beetle was actually suppressed by the black shadow and could no longer fly. It fell down!
