Shock! The Spell Is In English! - Chapter 264
Chapter 264: Go Home
After following Lugh for several months, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly also discovered that it could increase its level through continuous killing.
It was not the first time the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly had secretly killed those Fierce Beasts that were seriously injured by the parasitic Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.
It had already tried it when it was defending Mita City.
The parasitic method of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was a kind of slow death. During this period of time, there was a certain degree of maneuverability.
Most of the beasts that were seriously injured were also quite weak in spirit. A spiritual attack could send them to their deaths.
It could make it improve faster.
It felt super cool.
Of course, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly would not tell the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine about this.
No matter what it did, it liked to do it secretly.
It would not be as brazen as Lugh and the big bear.
[Ding! Your Pet Bloodthirsty Hell Vine has been upgraded to Low-Tier Platinum.]
[Ding! Your Pet Bloodthirsty Hell Vine has learned a wood-type skill — Flying Leaf Blade.]
The slaughter continued until late at night. Most of the Fierce Beasts attracted by the Spirit Fruit died in the canyon.
Only a portion of the Fierce Beasts that weren’t hit by the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine and didn’t run into Lugh and the Stormhawk managed to escape.
With Lugh, the Stormhawk, and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly frantically fighting for experience, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine still hadn’t leveled up to Middle-tier Platinum.
For some reason, Lugh felt like laughing when he saw this result.
Even he sometimes felt that he was too heartless.
However, after the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine absorbed all of its branches, the experience it obtained was already very close to being a Mid-tier Platinum vine.
In just one large-scale battle, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, which Lugh hadn’t specially nurtured, was raised from Top-tier Gold to close to being a Mid-tier Platinum vine. It was enough to show its lethality and destructive power.
If it was not there, Lugh would not have been able to keep so many Fierce Beasts.
Lugh quickly cleaned up the battlefield and put away the most valuable things on the Fierce Beasts.
After letting his pet beasts have a good meal, he left.
After finding a flat land, Lugh let out the Stormhawk to patrol and set up a tent to live in. While chewing on the jerky, he checked the reward of the Spirit Fruit that he had snatched during the day.
It could increase any pet’s talent by one level.
The first thing Lugh considered was the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.
If the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly had a Mythical-level Spirit Resistance talent, it would become the true nemesis of spirit-type Fierce Beasts.
However, on second thought, recently, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine had been extremely obedient.
It had even made up a cane chair to curry favor with him.
If he didn’t give it some rewards, it wouldn’t make sense.
As for the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, Lugh chose not to do it first.
When he returned to Skylight City, he would be competing for the position of the Emergency Response Team’s 14th Team.
With Skylight City’s strong foundation and the importance of the position of the 14th Team’s Captain, when the time came, Lugh’s opponent would definitely be very strong.
Based on his understanding of the system, the system would probably issue some missions.
When the time came, he would just upgrade the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.
Walking out of the tent, he summoned the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.
“You’ve been doing very well recently. You’ve been working very hard. This is your reward.”
Lugh placed his hand on one of the vines of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine. His face was solemn, trying hard to create a sense of ritual.
As if sensing this solemn and mysterious atmosphere, the vines that the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was casually twisting stopped.
“Ding! Your Pet Bloodthirsty Hell Vine’s Normal-Tier talent is Luxuriant Roots, upgraded to Rare-Tier Luxuriant Roots.”
Luxuriant Roots could increase the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine’s ability to control and fight, as well as its ability to survive as long as the roots were strong enough, it and its branches would not be pulled out of the ground by other powerful Fierce Beasts like they were in Mita City.
Although its talent had slightly increased, Lugh could still clearly feel the joy of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.
Its loyalty to Lugh had increased by another point, reaching ninety-six points.
After putting away the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, Lugh finished chewing the jerky and drank half of the water before lying down in his sleeping bag.
Time passed by unknowingly. In a flash, Lugh had stayed in Hepeng Valley for almost two months.
After calculating the time, it was about time for Lugh to return.
Lugh was extremely satisfied with his trip to Hepeng Valley this time. The harvest had completely exceeded his expectations.
All of his pet beasts had reached Platinum Low-grade strength. Among them, the Stormhawk and the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine were not far from Platinum Middle-grade.
In these two months, Lugh had grown very fast, reaching 1.8 meters.
It was time to go back.
Sitting on the back of the Stormhawk, he stroked the beard by his lips, feeling that it was a little prickly.
Lugh casually took out a sharp dagger from his spatial bag, and used the dagger to casually scratch his face a few times, curling the blade.
In terms of skin thickness, Lugh should be an almost invincible existence among Platinum-tier Beast Masters.
Touching his smooth chin, Lugh nodded in satisfaction and tossed his dagger into the air.
Seven to eight minutes later…
[Ding! Your Pet Berserk Bear has killed a Black Iron Mid-tier Black Plague Rat. EXP: 10!]
“How unlucky can he be? He didn’t look at the almanac when he went out, did he?”
Lugh looked behind him in surprise. He couldn’t see anything in the vast expanse of white clouds before him.
After rushing back to skylight city, Lugh changed into a clean military uniform and went to find Elisa.
“You’re back?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t Lucy come back with you?” Elisa asked jokingly, “Don’t tell me you found a small hill and buried her?”
“How is that possible?” Lugh said quickly, “I just have something to ask her to do. Is she still not back yet?”
Lucy had left for almost a month. With the speed of the Black-Gold Eagle, she should be able to come back as long as she was in a hurry.
“She hasn’t reported back yet, but it’s not a big problem. She won’t run away!” Elisa turned to look at Lugh, “How is it? Did you break through to Platinum-level?”
“Yes, all my pet’s strength have reached Low-tier Platinum.”
Elisa lifted her teacup and gulped down a mouthful of thick tea.
She needed to suppress her shock.
Elisa had thought that with Lugh’s outstanding talent, he could nurture a Low-tier Platinum beast in two months, barely reaching the standard of a Platinum-tier Beast Master.
But now, all four of his pet beasts had risen to platinum tier.
It was as if he had cheated.
With Elisa’s understanding of Lugh’s pet beasts, Lugh, who had four Low-tier Platinum pet beasts, he would probably have a chance of defeating them even if he ran into a High-tier Platinum Beast Master.
“The establishment of Team 14 of the Emergency Response Team has been confirmed. I’ve already applied for the position of Team Leader for you. It’ll probably be held at the end of this month.”
Elisa said, “You can go home and rest for a bit after two months of hard training in Hepeng Valley. Prepare for the upcoming battle.”
“Yes!”
After two months of traveling, Lugh felt a little homesick.
Even experienced wanderers, mercenaries, and adventurers rarely stayed in the wild, where Fierce Beasts were everywhere and dangers were everywhere, for more than two months in a row.
Staying in the wild for a long period of time didn’t allow for good rest. There was also the need to keep one’s nerves taut at all times, paying attention to any danger that might appear at any moment. The double burden of physical and mental stress was very likely to overwhelm a Beast Master.
If he was alone, the pressure would be even greater.
Lugh was no exception.
However, he had the Stormhawk and the Berserk Bear, so he could detect danger in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
If he was unlucky, he might even die if he bumped into a Star Glory-tier or King-tier beast.
It could only be said that the reconnaissance ability was really important in the wild, and it was related to life and death.
After taking five days off, the emergency team sent Lugh back to the villa.
Just as he returned to the villa and walked to the hall, Lugh saw the big sofa and immediately lay down.
His body sank into the sofa and he did not want to get up.
The maid brought him a chilled drink and placed it on his seat. Lugh raised his hand and the maid brought the drink to him.
He gulped down the drink in one breath. The maid took the cup back and Lugh continued to lie down.
It did not take long for Lugh’s aunt, Hestia, to enter from the backyard.
Her son had gone out on a mission for two months. She was still a little worried.
Seeing that Lugh had returned, she asked, “You’re back?”
“Yes!”
“I’ll go cook for you.”
In the afternoon, Xu Xiaoxiao also came home from school.
When she saw Lugh, she immediately put down her small schoolbag and sat on the sofa in surprise.
“Brother.”
“Huh?”
Lugh tilted his head and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao.
She seemed to have grown taller. It seemed to be more than 1.6 meters.
