Chapter 335: Absorbing Source Crystal

After his excited mood was over, once again, Lugh turned his gaze to the injured Wyvern next to him, intending to check on the little fellow’s physical condition.

Two of his toes were still heavily injured, half of the thin wings on his back were broken, the beetle armor on the neck was broken, and there were countless internal and external injuries…

“The problem on your body seems to be more serious than I thought…”

After seeing the wounds on the Wyvern’s body, Lugh frowned and his expression became a little solemn.

The Wyvern’s head turned slightly and looked at Lugh with a puzzled expression.

The wounds on the Wyvern’s body were much more serious than he had imagined. Other than the visible wounds, there might also be residual poison left behind during the battle.

Although dragons generally had elemental antibodies, they had a certain degree of resistance against poison that belonged to the same elemental attribute.

However, Lugh was still unable to completely relax, so he decided to use the remaining time to let the Wyvern recover as much as possible.

Arne used his mind to communicate with the Wyvern, and only then did he realize that he had fainted for an entire day.

At this time, Lugh was a little flustered. Would Lucy and Gary be okay?

However, he still had important matters to deal with. Even if he rushed over, he probably wouldn’t be able to do anything.

He might as well communicate with the Wyvern about the current situation.

Through the communication between Lugh and the Wyvern, apart from knowing how long he had been unconscious, he also learned the reason why the Wyvern was being chased by Hundred-Eyed Rock and the others.

Moreover, after knowing the reason, Lugh didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that the Wyvern had relied on its strength, innate talent, and bloodline suppression in the outer area of the Forest of Despair to directly intrude into the territory of Hundred-Eyed Rock, it wantonly plundered the edible food.

Not only did the Wyvern inherit the huge appetite of the dragon race, it also inherited the abnormal digestive ability of the fly race. Although these two abilities could accelerate the growth of the Wyvern, it had offended many source beasts.

After intruding into the Hundred-Eyed Rock’s territory, the Wyvern plundered the spiritual items, killing the weak source beasts that were suitable for its consumption.

Especially the Venomous Spiders and the Green Bamboo Snakes.

And this action was to satisfy its huge appetite.

But it also offended the Hundred-Eyed Rock, which allowed the source beasts to surround and kill it.

“Hahaha, greedy mouth erodes itself. So you are a foodie.” Lugh didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he patted the Wyvern’s big head.

“Roar!”

The Wyvern growled in a displeased tone. Obviously, it was displeased with Lugh for being called a foodie, and let out a roar of protest.

“Alright, little one. Since you have already followed me, I will not mistreat you. Not only will I let you eat your fill, I will also let you eat well.” Lugh did not know whether to laugh or cry as he comforted this proud little friend of his.

What Lugh said was not to casually comfort his source beast. Instead, he was really preparing to work hard on the Wyvern’s diet.

The most important thing in the cultivation of a source beast was the pouring in of all kinds of natural treasures, followed by the gradual tempering of life and death.

Thus, there was a very famous saying among Beast Masters. “In the cultivation of a source beast, seven points of nourishment, three points of training.”

“Roar!”

The Wyvern was abnormally excited when it heard this, letting out a loud roar of delight. Clearly, the little fellow had a very strong obsession with eating.

“Alright, don’t be too happy. You don’t want to attract someone you shouldn’t provoke.” Lugh hurriedly had the Wyvern shut its mouth. If the Wyvern was injured, it would be in trouble if it provoked a few more Hundred-Eyed Rock-level source beasts.

After seeing the Wyvern obediently shut its mouth, Lugh stroked the Wyvern and continued, “Since we’re going to be partners in the future, it’s not appropriate to keep calling you little guy. I’ll give you a name.”

In order to distinguish themselves from other people’s source beasts of the same species, and not to mention that they were pet beasts with dragon bloodline, Beast Masters would give their source beasts a name, and to highlight their good relationship with the source beasts… Giving them a name would also serve as a cover for the hidden Beast God Cult in the future.

“Since you’re such a glutton, I’ll call you Big Mouth in the future.” Lugh casually decided on the Wyvern’s name. It wasn’t that he was too lazy to think of a name, but he felt that the level of naming was really too low.

The Wyvern was very excited about this outdated name ‘Big Mouth’. Its body was close to Lugh’s embrace, and the antennae on its head kept turning.

For the Wyvern, Lugh not only risked his life to save it, but he also gave it a name. For the Wyvern that lost its parents when it was young, it already looked at Lugh at its father.

After comforting his Big Mouth that was very close to him, Lugh walked to the surrounding source beasts and started to dispose of the corpses.

After Lugh identified the source beasts on the ground, he walked to the corpse of a low-level commoner-level source beast called the Ash Wolf.

Lugh took out a dagger and separated the stomach of a wolf-type source beast. Ignoring the blood and internal organs that flowed out, he directly took out a small crystal that was emitting a weak light.

“My luck is not bad. I originally wanted to try my luck, but I didn’t expect there to be a crystal core.” Lugh looked at the thumb-sized energy crystal in his palm, and his eyes immediately lit up.

A crystal core was after most source beasts died, the source energy in their bodies would have a certain chance to instantly condense into an energy crystal core.

And this kind of crystal core could also become a source crystal.

Source crystals had different attributes. They could be fed to source beasts to increase their attribute strength or cultivate new attributes.

However, the strange thing was that the more this crystal core was used, the easier it would be sensed by the Beast God.

This characteristic was also unique to the Fierce Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. Thus, any other Fierce Beast that obtained a source crystal unique to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest would be sensed by the Beast God.

Even the scent emitted by the pet beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest would be sensed by the Beast God if there was no source energy aura.

This was also the reason why Lugh had to tame a source beast.

“According to the size and color of the source crystal, it should only be a ninth grade beast attribute source crystal, right?” Lugh looked at the source crystal in his hand and muttered softly to himself.

For example, the source crystal in Lugh’s hand was a relatively low-quality civilian grade beast attribute source crystal. When converted to the market price, it was only twenty copper coins, which was equivalent to the daily food expenses of ordinary people in western cities.

It wasn’t too expensive, nor was it too low.

The appearance of the source crystal was undoubtedly a temptation to the source beasts. Seeing Lugh take out a source crystal from the wolf’s stomach, the compound eyes of Big Mouth immediately emitted a demonic red light.

Very quickly, it ran to Lugh’s side and whispered a signal.

“Don’t look at the little foodie. This isn’t for you to eat. Your future diet will be strictly regulated. Bear with it for now.”

Just as Lugh had said, Lugh already had a plan for Big Mouth’s future cultivation method.

From Lugh’s point of view, a beast-type origin crystal wasn’t suitable for a species like the Wyvern.

After hearing what Lugh had and knowing that this origin crystal wasn’t fated to be with it, Big Mouth had a sad look on its face as it lay listlessly on the ground.

Lugh directly activated the power in his body. This power followed the direction of his palm towards the beast-type origin crystal in his palm.

The source crystal quickly began to differentiate, emitting a faint green light.

This energy was continuously absorbed by Lugh.

After the beast-type source crystal’s energy was completely absorbed, Lugh’s pale face regained some redness. His tired eyes also became energetic.

The common characteristic of beast-type source beasts was that they had a strong physique. Usually, pure beast-type source beasts used their strong bodies to suppress their enemies.

As for beast-type source crystals, other than strengthening the source beast’s attributes, they could also be used to restore physical strength or strengthen the body.

It was precisely because of this that the demand for beast-type source crystals on the market was often much higher than other source crystals of other attributes.

And grade nine beast-type source crystals could be used by even Lugh.

This was also to cover his body with the smell of source energy.

Thus reducing the risk of being discovered by the Beast God.

After Lugh absorbed the source crystal, he recovered some of his physical strength, and he was no longer as weak as before.

Big Mouth saw that Lugh’s body had recovered a lot, and it excitedly waved its toes around to express its joy.

After patting Big Mouth’s head, Lugh continued to use the dagger in his hand to decompose the remaining source beast corpses, collecting useful materials.

Apart from the rock body of the Hundred-Eyed Rock, the other seven source beast corpses that were scattered all over the place were all dismembered by Lugh.

He wasn’t as lucky as when he first started to dissect the Ash Wolf’s attributes. Lugh only obtained one grade nine poison attribute source crystal from the seven source beast corpses.
