Chapter 339: Battle Ended

Lugh looked at his opponent who had been severely injured and did not rush forward. Instead, he quickly distanced himself from his opponent so that his opponent would not counterattack when he was about to die. His eyes revealed a trace of admiration.

In the end of the battle, his performance was neutral. The battle talent displayed by Big Mouth had already surpassed all the source beasts that Lugh had seen with his own eyes. This was the potential of a Gold-tier dragon source beast.

“Awooo!”

The Shadow Wolf let out a mournful cry. At this moment, its movements had become somewhat sluggish, as if it could not get up at any time. The amount of blood on its neck was getting larger and larger, and the injuries on its body seemed to have affected its ability to move.

“Breath of Plague.”

The grayish-white pestilence power covered the Shadow Wolf’s body. The serious injuries and the weakness brought about by the Breath of Plague made it difficult to bear. If it was not for the fact that the duration of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy had not ended, it would have long fallen.

However, the difference between the Shadow Wolf falling and standing was not big. With such injuries, it was no longer a match for Big Mouth.

In the end, under the Shadow Wolf’s despairing gaze, countless blood-red hook claws took away its last consciousness. The Shadow Wolf, whose head was separated from its body, also fell.

Fresh blood dyed the ground red. Big Mouth’s head was also dyed red by the blood that sprayed out. Under the moonlight, the terrifying face widened its bloody mouth and let out a roar of victory.

After the Shadow Wolf died, Lugh also walked out from hiding. He walked to Big Mouth’s side expressionlessly. His eyes were filled with relief.

An invisible white source energy came out from the Shadow Wolf’s corpse and flew into Big Mouth’s body. Big Mouth’s injuries recovered a lot in an instant, and the aura it emitted became more abundant.

“It leveled up.” Lugh’s expression was slightly startled, but he quickly recovered.

After experiencing so many battles, Big Mouth had also leveled up, becoming a Gold-tier High-grade pet beast first.

A source beast could plunder a portion of its strength by killing other source beasts, so many Beast Masters would choose to come to the wild to train to increase their source beast’s strength.

After a few hundred exchanges with the Shadow Wolf, Big Mouth finally leveled up, becoming a little bigger.

Seeing Lugh, Big Mouth became even more jubilant. It kept tapping its toes on the ground and letting out roars as if it wanted to take credit. Clearly, the little guy was looking forward to its master’s praise, although it didn’t know how horrifying it looked when it was stained with blood.

“Well done.” However, Lugh did not care about Big Mouth’s terrifying appearance. He used his hand to pat Big Mouth’s head lightly, not caring if his hand was stained with some sticky blood.

After receiving its master’s praise, Big Mouth became even more excited. It even wanted to let out a deafening dragon roar in the forest to express the joy in its heart.

Fortunately, after Lugh discovered it, he immediately stopped it from acting rashly.

If some ferocious source beasts came, they wouldn’t be able to return today.

Lugh took out a dagger and cut off the Shadow Wolf’s two tusks and all of its sharp claws. He also obtained a dark attribute source crystal from the Shadow Wolf.

Although these things weren’t useful for Big Mouth’s cultivation, these materials could be sold for money.

In exchange for the resources he needed.

“Roar!”

Big Mouth behind Lugh let out a low roar. Lugh, who had been conditioned to this, quickly turned around and quickly placed the dagger in front of his chest, entering a state of alert.

After carefully observing for a moment, he did not find any enemies. Only then did he look at Big Mouth, who had made a sound, with some confusion.

Big Mouth used one of his toes to point at the Shadow Wolf’s corpse, then pointed at its own stomach. It was clear that this little guy wanted to eat. After all, the previous battle had consumed a lot of its energy.

“Alright, eat.” Lugh didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he nodded. He was helpless against the little guy’s gluttonous attributes.

After considering the Shadow Wolf’s beast attributes, which were helpful to the strong Big Mouth’s body, he allowed Big Mouth to eat the Shadow Wolf’s corpse.

After Big Mouth happily swallowed the Shadow Wolf into its stomach, Lugh quickly cleaned up the scene and found a safe place to rest.

After a whole night of rest, Lugh’s mental state was much better than before.

After killing the Shadow Wolf at night, Lugh and Big Mouth found a well-hidden tree trunk to rest on.

When the sky had just turned bright, Lugh opened his eyes and looked at the changes around him with a slightly cold gaze. When he saw that Big Mouth was guarding him at all times not far away, his eyes softened slightly.

Lugh patted away the fallen leaves and branches on his body. He took out a tree fruit from his sleeve and started his breakfast.

After all, the only thing that could be eaten without worry in the forest was the tree fruit.

The meat of an ordinary source beast was not professionally processed and was not suitable for human consumption.

After breakfast, Lugh began to check the items on his body. After confirming that they were not lost or damaged, he called Big Mouth to him.

Hearing his master’s call, Big Mouth obediently ran to Lugh. Lugh also began to carefully check Big Mouth’s physical condition.

“The beetle shell, toes, and body are all recovering well. At least on the surface, there are no obvious injuries.”

Looking at the newly grown beetle shell on Big Mouth’s body and the six toes that were able to move as before, Lugh nodded in satisfaction. Big Mouth’s condition was recovering better than he had imagined.

“Just in case, it’s better to have a thorough examination.” Lugh placed his hand on Big Mouth’s head, closed his eyes, and activated his source energy to observe its health condition.

After a thorough examination, Lugh was completely relieved. The injuries in its body had also recovered.

Even the remaining poison from earlier had been cleaned up. Now, Big Mouth’s body was very healthy.

Moreover, due to the upgrade of Big Mouth’s level last night, the size of the level six Big Mouth had directly increased by a little.

The muscles of the toes had become stronger, and the abdomen had also faintly sunken inward, faintly showing some muscle arcs

Wyverns were different from scavenger insects. Wyverns’ abdomens were different from the flexible and stiff insect body. It was a genuine dragon body, except that its appearance was strangely similar to Scavenger Flies.

The results that Lugh observed were confirmed to be the same as the information he had prepared previously.

His eyes flashed with a bright light, as if he was thinking about something.

“Roar.”

Big Mouth’s somewhat bashful roar interrupted Lugh’s thoughts.

After signing the contract, Lugh could quickly sense Big Mouth’s conscious emotions. Big Mouth’s low roar indicated that it was hungry.

“…”

Lugh’s face was immediately filled with black lines. He was still not used to Big Mouth’s hunger for delicious food.

“Let’s make do with it first. Currently, I have no way to purchase food for you.”

After Lugh finished speaking, he directly took out a few large pieces of stiff and aged raw meat from the man-made hole in the small tree behind him and threw them to Big Mouth.

After eating the meat, Big Mouth maintained its optimal combat state. This was also what he needed the most at the moment.

This raw meat was taken from some beast source beasts yesterday. It was fed to Big Mouth.

After Big Mouth got the permission of its master, it started to devour the meat.

For a moment, the sound of meat being chewed could be heard.

Looking at Big Mouth devouring the meat, a smile appeared on Lugh’s face.

However, his eyes quickly turned cold.

Looking at a village in the distance, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

“There was news just now. Lucy and the others said that they would gather at the village in front, so it might be the Iron Cloud Village.”

…

Iron Cloud Village was one of the few villages in Shuimu Town. In the cities in the Western Region, there were nearly a hundred villages of this scale.

Because Iron Cloud Village was a village where hunters gathered and also sold medicinal herbs, it was considered a slightly famous village in the local region.

As Iron Cloud Village was relatively close to the Forest of Despair, it was one of the few villages where the Western Military used it as a warning.

There was only one straight road from the Forest of Despair to Iron Cloud Village, and that was the main road established by the Western Military Region.

The main road was not a main road, but an area that had been cleared.

The source beasts in the main road area were all cleared on purpose. The other areas were extremely dangerous forbidden areas for the villagers of Iron Cloud Village, so to return to the village, Lugh had to pass through the main road.

Although one could return to the village by walking on the main road, the main road covered a large area and was covered by trees.

If one wanted to ensure that no fish escaped the net and slipped into the village, they would need to send out a large number of people.
