Shock! The Spell Is In English!

It was now or never!

Lugh took advantage of the jute fruit's effect to turn around and escape without hesitation.

Lugh, who was familiar with the pharmacology, was very clear that the jute fruit's degree of paralysis and weakness could only delay the Scaled Beast for a while. If he did not run now, he might really not be able to escape.

He had spent a lot of time and energy setting up the trap, but it was all for naught. Not only did he fail to tame the Scaled Beast, but he had also lost all the food and water he had left in the process of escaping.

He would not have any delusions about the Scaled Beast. The hanging tree and the cave-in trap were useless against it. The scales on its body were too strong, and the dagger in its hand could only barely break through its skin.

Although he had the existence of the Void Spirit in his body and could subdue it, the Void Spirit could not be used to fight because if it appeared, the Beast God would definitely notice it if there was no source energy in its body.

The Void Spirit was just a backup plan that Lugh had prepared for the team.

Under normal circumstances, it would still depend on the escape route.

The escape route was a relatively safe route that he had found during the four days in the forest. There were no accidents when he escaped. After he was sure that he had gotten rid of the Scaled Beast, he slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"There isn't much time left. I have to speed up."

Lugh calculated the days that he had spent in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest in his heart. He became even more anxious. He had to return to the train carriage within two days. Otherwise, if he wasn't there, Lucy and Gary would be in great danger. And before he returned, according to the plan, Lugh had to have his first source beast.

"I have to tame my first source beast today, or else it will be too late." Lugh's eyes turned cold, and he had already made up his mind.

Lugh raised his head and looked around. There were four huge trees tied tightly by vines, and they were located between the trunks of the surrounding trees. And the connection point of these vines was on a wooden stake that had sunk into the ground under Lugh's feet.

As long as the vines attached to the wooden stake were cut off, the four giant trees would sweep towards the center from four different points at the same time. In addition to the inertia of the giant trees sweeping from the high ground, it was enough to pose a huge threat to the source beasts.

During these three days, Lugh had not only set up a pit trap, but this hanging tree was another part of Lugh's preparations.

Originally, it was prepared to prevent the prey that fell into the pit from escaping, but now, Lugh changed his plan.

Lugh planned to take more risks and lure the source beast into the attack range of the hanging tree trap. Then, he would use a throwing knife to cut off the vines on the wooden stake. In the end, he would avoid the falling attack of the giant tree and complete the hunt.

This plan was too risky. If it weren't for the fact that time was tight, Lugh wouldn't have been willing to carry out such a plan. The incident with the Scaled Beast had left a big shadow on his mind. It would be very difficult for him to completely forget about it.

What if he was killed while luring the source beast? Or did an accident happen when he triggered the trap? 

All these possible accidents would take Lugh's life. However, Lugh had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After making up his mind, Lugh quietly waited on the tree, waiting for a suitable target to pass by.

The wait was not as long as he had imagined. In less than an hour, the first source beast appeared in his field of vision. This was not surprising. After all, there were still a lot of source beasts in the forest of despair.

"Scavenger Flies?" Lugh frowned as he looked at the source beasts passing by. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The Scavenger Flies were of medium to small size, about 1.5 meters in size. Its dark green body surface and huge gray compound eyes made its terrifying appearance make people feel a little nauseous. It gently flapped its thin insect wings, and its compound eyes scanned around vigilantly.

As for the Scavenger Fly, which could be said to be a 'rotten street' low-level source beast, Lugh was naturally familiar with it. In the source beast knowledge points taught in the village, it was the first source beast introduced. As for why it was the first to be introduced? Perhaps it was because it was the weakest...

[Name: Scavenger Fly]

[Race: Bug Clan]

[Level: Silver 5]

[Innate Ability: The bug clan's self-healing fast food digestion.]

The innate ability was very easy to understand. It was the innate ability of every species, such as the jumping ability of frogs, the broken tail escape of geckos, and so on.

Judging from the size and color of the Scavenger Fly in front of him, Lugh could roughly determine that it was already an adult Scavenger Fly.

In addition to the Silver level, there was naturally a ranking system that differentiated the strength of source beasts. The level of source beasts was generally divided into ten levels, and every ten levels was one level.

The newly born source beasts were all one level without stages, and could improve their level through growth and training. One level without stages, ten levels without stages, and then one level after another, and so on.

Moreover, Lugh could see that this Scavenger Fly of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest had just entered its prime. Under the nurturing of no one, it had reached Silver-level 5 when it was just in its prime. It could already be considered one of the best in this race.

However, Lugh did not have the slightest intention of making a move. The source beast he needed now was to be able to quickly grow into battle strength, and its growth potential had to be at least of the medium level.

Although the Scavenger Flies had inherited the characteristics of the insect clan's short growth cycle and were source beasts that grew very quickly, their mobility was considered relatively fast among source beasts of the same level.

However, the Scavenger Flies' exploitable potential was too small, and they were directly eliminated in Lugh's heart. There were also people in this Source Beast Village who had formed a contract with them. However, it was not used for fighting and fighting for their future, but was used by the 'cleaners' who were used to let them digest the useless trash.

Lugh didn't have any thoughts of nurturing such a source beast into a powerhouse. Although he could abandon his own source beast in the future, Lugh wouldn't do so. Even if it was a source beast that had formed a contract with him, it would be a companion that would depend on him for the rest of its life, it would never betray him!

Moreover, his previous pet beasts were still under Paul's care. In other words, in his familiar space now, other than the Void Spirit that he already had, he could also sign an additional three pet beasts.

In the future, if his strength could rise to King-tier, the position of pet beast in the familiar space could be increased. In other words, he was now making plans for his future King-tier pet beast, if that simple source beast could become his pet beast, it would be too much of a loss.

Therefore, Lugh no longer looked at the Scavenger Fly. He closed his eyes to rest and wait for his next target.

The Scavenger Fly did not know what Lugh was thinking. It vigilantly observed its surroundings and slowly left.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. The sun was gradually tilting towards the west. It was already close to sunset. During this period, Lugh had seen five source beasts, but none of them met his expectations.

"Wood Vine Lizard? Low-grade Black Iron. No way! Although this fellow is a powerful controller, its growth period is too long. It is not a good choice for me who does not have resources."

"Green Rose Monster? Middle-level Gold rank. This is not bad. Toxic skin plus strong environmental control, it's a good companion. Sigh... Unfortunately, my trap is simply a joke in front of it, so I decisively gave up."

"Wind Humming Sparrow? No way! Stinger Bee? No way! Damn it... Is it so difficult to find source beasts that meet my standards!?"

Lugh was somewhat frustrated as he leaned on the tree. Among the source beasts that passed by, only the Green Rose Monster met his needs. However, it didn't eat his hanging tree trap at all.

It was almost night time, so there wasn't much time left for Lugh. It should be known that most source beasts were lurking at night. Only predators that were active during this period of time would carry out activities.

In addition to the night, Lugh's visibility was reduced to the lowest. At that time, the difficulty of capturing them would definitely be much higher than it was now. This made Lugh become a little frustrated.

"Damn it, I can only resort to desperate measures. No matter what source beast it is, I have to act now. Otherwise, Lucy and Gary's safety can not be guaranteed!" Lugh sighed helplessly.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the nearby forest. He also turned his gaze to the source of the sound.

A large creature about 1.5 meters tall appeared from the forest. When Lugh saw the creature, his eyes began to dilate, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"This guy is?!" Seeing the source beast slowly walking over, Lugh's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something incredible.

Scarlet compound eyes like blood, bug wings like thin blades, a 1.5 meter long body, and a familiar appearance. This source beast was very similar to the first source beast Lugh met today, the Silver-tier source beast, the Scavenger Fly.
