Chapter 334: Subduing the Wyvern

After some investigation, Lugh finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The Wyvern’s injuries looked very serious at first glance, but it was actually not that difficult to treat.

The main reason why the Wyvern lost most of its abilities was the broken antenna between its head, which had long been strangled by the Green Bamboo Snake and squeezed into its flesh and blood.

The venom sank into the flesh and blood, blocking the flow of blood. The accumulated blood caused the Wyvern to show symptoms of being unable to move for a short period of time.

As long as this injury did not accumulate for too long, it was not a difficult injury to deal with. As long as it was dealt with properly in a short period of time, it would be fine.

When he was learning to refine medicine, Lugh still had some knowledge of such superficial external and internal injuries.

When he knew what the problem was, Lugh took out his dagger and prepared to dig out the venom that had sunk into the flesh and blood.

However, Lugh’s action directly stimulated the Wyvern’s tensed nerves. It thought that Lugh wanted to harm it, so with an angry roar, it directly used his hook claw to strike at Lugh’s chest.

Lugh grunted. His chest was struck by the Wyvern’s powerful hook claw, causing his body to tremble and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

As the Wyvern had not recovered to its original state, its control over its body was out of balance, so it only hit Lugh with its strong toes instead of being cut. Otherwise, with just a touch, Lugh would have been cut into two.

“Cough, cough, cough… Don’t cause trouble. I’m going to help you remove the venom that has sunk into your flesh. If you do this again, my body won’t be able to hold on any longer.”

Lugh spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Seeing that Lugh really didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, the Wyvern didn’t attack again.

Because without the protection of the Wyvern, Lugh very smoothly stabbed the dagger into the Wyvern’s flesh and blood.

Seeing that the Wyvern only let out a muffled growl, it didn’t do anything as extreme as it did in the early days.

Lugh also felt at ease and began to slowly dig out some of the necrotic parts along with the venom that had sunk deep into it.

The short dagger that had been quenched with jute had a certain numbing effect, just enough to relieve the pain of the Wyvern.

The Wyvern’s compound eyes were carefully observing Lugh who was seriously saving it.

When the Wyvern’s compound eyes saw that the cloth clothes on Lugh’s chest were stained with blood, it was obvious that it was the result of its suspicious counterattack. The Wyvern instantly became listless due to guilt.

The antennae on the top of its head also drooped down.

Lugh did not notice the Wyvern’s appearance. Instead, he continued to carefully remove the dead flesh near the broken antenna.

Lugh’s expression was solemn. He was highly focused to prevent himself from cutting into the wrong place.

After a while, Lugh finally took out the venom that had sunk into the flesh. After letting the slightly discolored blood clot for a while, he then evenly applied the herbs he had collected earlier on the Wyvern’s wounds.

This could be considered the treatment of the Wyvern’s injuries.

After finishing these injuries, Lugh’s nerves suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness.

In the morning, Lugh had only eaten a little of the tree fruit and was already extremely hungry. In addition to his nerves being in a tense state and being injured by the Wyvern’s toes, Lugh’s willpower was amazing to be able to hold on until now without fainting.

Finally, Lugh could no longer resist the eyelids caused by fatigue. His body fell back directly. In a daze, Lugh only heard an incomparably mournful wail by his ear.

“Swoosh!”

Lugh suddenly sat up. His eyes were wide open, and cold sweat drenched his clothes. Lugh, who had been awakened by the nightmare, supported himself with one hand on the ground and panted with lingering fear.

“Nightmare?” Lugh moved his Adam’s apple. His lips were dry and cracked since he had not had a drop of water for a long time.

When Lugh had been unconscious before, he had not noticed it. Now that he had woken up, he still felt a little dizzy.

Shaking his head hard, Lugh rubbed the space between his eyebrows and calmed himself down. He began to gather his still somewhat hazy gaze to look at his surroundings.

His eyes focused and adjusted. When the scene before him turned from blurry to clear, the first thing that came into view was a source beast with a pair of huge scarlet compound eyes and a terrifying bloody mouth and teeth. It was only a punch away from his face.

“I’ll go.”

Lugh suddenly widened his eyes and maintained his sitting posture as he quickly moved backwards.

He immediately connected with the Void Spirit and prepared to make a move!

But soon, he discovered that this source beast with huge compound eyes, bloody mouth, and teeth was naturally the wyvern that Lugh had previously saved.

The Wyvern looked at the human that it had been guarding for a long time and saw it for the first time.

Not only did he not show joy and gratitude, he even lost its soul as if he had seen a ghost. This made the little fellow very depressed.

Lugh had just woken up when he saw the terrifying-looking source beast. For a moment, he did not recover from his shock and lost his composure.

When he saw the feelers on the Wyvern’s head drooping listlessly, and it even let out an aggrieved growl, Lugh finally recognized the ferocious and terrifying source beast in front of him. It was the Wyvern that he had previously called the little guy.

Lugh quickly looked around and realized that other than the Hundred-Eyed Rock in the pit, the Green Bamboo Snakes and the Venomous Spiders’ corpses were already gone.

Other than that, there were also a few other source beasts’ bodies. In addition, there were a few more wounds on the Wyvern’s body. Lugh then realized that the Wyvern had been waiting for him while he was unconscious, it was to protect him from the other source beasts.

Lugh looked at the depressed Wyvern and knew that his actions had hurt the little guy’s fragile heart. He couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. After all, the Wyvern had been protecting him the whole time. When he woke up, he didn’t show any gratitude, and even had a look of fear on his face.

Lugh thought about it from another perspective. He was probably in a bad mood.

“I’m sorry, little guy.” Lugh, who was extremely weak, stood up forcefully and walked closer to the Wyvern that seemed a little lost. He patted the Wyvern’s stiff head and said in a hoarse voice with his dry and cracked lips.

At this time, the Wyvern was not as vigilant as before. Instead, the antennae on its head were swinging around like a puppy’s tail. It seemed to enjoy Lugh’s behavior very much.

Looking at the Wyvern that was starting to get close to him, Lugh’s heart moved, and a peaceful smile appeared on his pale face.

“Little one, have you considered my previous proposal? Are you willing to become my pet beast and walk to the peak together in the future?”

The Wyvern’s compound eyes turned around. A moment later, it made a decision. It obediently possessed its body and lowered its head under Lugh’s right hand.

At this moment, the usually calm Lugh’s face also revealed an ecstatic expression. The Wyvern’s series of actions had already expressed its intentions.

His previous treatment had now been exchanged for this reward.

Lugh could not help but feel a little fortunate that he had suddenly become soft-hearted. Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome to enter into a contract with this little fellow.

“Alright, little fellow. I, Lugh, will definitely not let you down in the future. From now on, you will also be my family. From now on, we will advance and retreat together.” Lugh sincerely said his oath. His eyes were firm, and there was not a trace of deception in his heart.

Lugh activated the power in his body and formed a magic array on the ground. The scarlet power gathered into the color of the magic array’s patterns, and the scarlet light from the magic array surrounded the Wyvern.

Lugh activated this power normally, while carefully observing the Wyvern’s changes in the contract. He felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This was because there were already four pet beast slots in the Beast Master Space. Now, they had only moved out, leaving behind three pet beast slots. The current contract was to occupy the future pet beast slots in advance, and when he became a King-tier Beast Master in the future… They could expand.

As a result, this array was a little more troublesome.

The image of the Wyvern appeared completely in his Beast Master Space. Following that, Lugh felt a powerful force fill his body.

This was because the Wyvern was currently occupying the Berserk Bear’s pet beast slot.

“It’s a success.” Lugh’s heart was finally at ease. A hint of redness appeared on his pale face. Feeling his contract with the Wyvern, the relationship between the two became even closer, making Lugh excited.

Not only that, Lugh was also affected by the Wyvern, and the power in his body had once again increased.

And most importantly…

This time, he was finally able to barely protect himself in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest. By using the Wyvern’s power, he would not be discovered by the Beast God.
