Chapter 158 Stuck and powerless
"Xiao Qing!" Su Ming's consciousness sank into the summoning plane. The place where he appeared was the place where he met Xiao Qing. There were markers here, and he could randomly choose a location or specify a location each time he entered.
The bell rang. Xiao Qing appeared out of thin air next to Su Ming, and after wandering around him for a while, she perched on his head, just like before.
Xiaoqing has grown into a young girl, but she doesn't have a real appearance; she can shrink at any time.
"Xiao Qing, go out and get to work." Su Ming grinned, his consciousness returning to his physical body.
He opened his eyes and used summoning magic, something he hadn't done in a long time, but before the spell was finished, Xiao Qing opened a dimensional gate and ran out on her own.
Ring ring ring...
Xiaoqing complained about how bad the environment was, and how there were so many small insects outside.
Su Ming could sense Xiao Qing's consciousness and said, "Xiao Qing, I'm trapped right now. I have to destroy these things to leave. Can you do it?"
Ring ring ring...
Xiaoqing proudly flew around twice, indicating that there was no problem at all; they were just a bunch of bugs, which she could easily wipe out with a flick of her hand.
"Great!" Su Ming waved excitedly.
"What are you doing? If you're out of magic power, hurry up and meditate. Don't waste time. Ten minutes may not seem like much, but it can still boost your energy a little. And what's that thing on your head? A mascot?"
"A secret killing move." Su Ming smiled mysteriously and commanded, "Xiao Qing, fly out and wipe them out."
Ring ring ring...
Xiao Qing barked twice, then lay on his head without moving, which made Su Ming a little embarrassed, as everyone else was watching him.
"Sigh, he's probably gone mad and can't accept that he's about to die here."
That's certainly possible. Being young, especially a high-level mage, it's easy to see how badly they've suffered setbacks and how much pressure they're under; it's normal for them to break down.
The group whispered a few words to each other and then stopped looking at Su Ming.
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?"
Ring ring ring.
"Can't do it? Didn't you say you could wipe them out?"
Ring ring ring.
Ring ring ring.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes. Xiao Qing found these things disgusting, so she didn't dare to touch them. Moreover, she said that her current abilities were very unstable, and there was an uncontrollable force running rampant in her body.
The first thing Su Ming thought of about this uncontrollable force was Bi Fang. Maybe that guy did something to Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing felt that disgusting was not the point.
"Xiaoqing, just like before, possess me. That way you can come into contact with these insects."
Su Ming instructed, "When we were dealing with Li Xing before, Xiao Qing had entered his body. At that time, he possessed power equivalent to a wind mage, which was incredibly captivating."
That power was even stronger than his original magic, because the source of the power was Xiao Qing, who was always stronger than him.
Even now, it's the same. Su Ming is no match for a commander-level demon, but Xiao Qing is different. She is a commander-level demon, and her strength is considerable. Ordinary commanders are no match for her.
Her possession would be a huge boost for Su Ming.
However, having possessed Xiao Qing only a few times, Su Ming didn't know if he could use Xiao Qing's power effectively.
Xiao Qing chirped twice, then merged with Su Ming. She was reminding Su Ming to be careful in controlling his power, as there was an uncontrollable force that Xiao Qing was afraid would burst Su Ming.
The moment they merged back into one, the surrounding air changed.
A bolt of lightning was thrown out, but the sudden change in the strong wind direction altered the trajectory of the lightning bolt considerably. Nevertheless, it still struck the swarm of insects with minimal impact.
Su Ming's hair was blown up, and his body could float in the air. This was one of Xiao Qing's abilities. He estimated that he could now unleash a storm comparable to a mid-level wind magic with just a few gestures.
"Holy crap, what the hell is going on?"
I don't know, what happened?
"It's probably related to that summoned beast from before. I saw the dimensional gate before, and that mascot should be the summoned beast, but..." Li Wangji analyzed!
Are there summoned beasts that can merge with a human? I know a few possessive elemental spirits, but those are from our world, they're all contracted beasts. Are there really summoned beasts like that?
This touches on a blind spot in their knowledge. There aren't many summoning systems to begin with, and since they haven't awakened, they wouldn't care about such things.
But they had indeed heard of the fusion of summoned beasts and humans.
"No matter what, there should be hope. Judging from its appearance, it's quite powerful. Maybe we can really escape."
There is hope, but don't be too optimistic. His energy fluctuations aren't very strong, not much different from mine. It all depends on how much potential that summoned beast can unleash. Be prepared, don't let your guard down, and keep stacking defensive spells. "The lightning mage has begun to command the battlefield. Although an unexpected incident occurred, it doesn't mean everything will be resolved. They also hope to resolve it, but they don't yet see the ability to solve this problem in Su Ming."
"Is this what it looks like after the fusion?" Su Ming murmured. He could control Xiao Qing's abilities very well, and she was constantly cooperating with him.
Su Ming wanted to unleash a tornado, but he couldn't manage it no matter how long he raised his hand. There was something stuck in his chest, preventing him from acting as he pleased.
"Ring ring ring, so that's it! No wonder Xiao Qing was afraid of bursting. This is really troublesome; there's an energy within him blocking his movements, preventing him from releasing his abilities."
Even the magic system was locked down; the blockade was so powerful that there was no way to break it.
"Xiaoqing, do you have any ideas?"
No, I woke up quite a while ago, and I've felt terrible ever since. I've been trying to get rid of the effects, but I haven't made any progress.
The idea of using Xiaoqing immediately came to his mind.
Su Ming was a little annoyed. He thought everything would be resolved once he got Xiao Qing out, but who would have thought this would happen? It was so unexpected.
It seems like he can solve the predicament, but in reality, he can't use any of his abilities right now and can only float in the air, so he's not very useful.
Fortunately, the group below was quite strong, and their defensive magic varied in quality, which effectively blocked the insects.
But judging from their appearance, they probably wouldn't last much longer; some of them were already sweating profusely.
I have no clue as to the source of this power. It doesn't seem to be left behind by Bifang, nor does it resemble my previous power. There are no clues, I can't analyze it, and I can't solve it.
Su Ming sighed. This way, merging with Xiao Qing would be pointless, and he couldn't even cast spells now. He sighed again and prepared to separate from Xiao Qing. That way, he could at least still cast spells, which would be more useful than now.
But just as Su Ming was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he couldn't separate from Xiao Qing.
