Chapter 261 - Lucy’s Recovery
Chapter 261: Lucy’s Recovery
“Flame Grass, Cloud Vine, and the tree roots of the Demon-Capturing Tree Demon… Mix them together according to a certain proportion. It’s very effective in treating frostbite.”
This was a kind of prescription.
“En!”
Lugh nodded.
He admitted that he was inferior to Lucy in field knowledge.
Casually poking the bonfire, Lugh said, “Lucy, in the next period of time, I’ll try my best to help you get all your pets. I need you to help me do something in Seven Star City.”
“Yes.”
Lucy did not have any objections.
She was already very happy to be able to obtain a Black-Gold Eagle.
[Ding! Mission announcement: Help your Adjutant Lucy to get all the pets she wants 2/5.]
[Mission success: You can immediately raise the talent level of any pet by one level.]
After receiving this mission notification, Lugh instinctively felt that something was amiss.
Why didn’t it release this mission before he tied Lucy up to tame the Black Gold Eagle?
Could it be that after helping Lucy tame the Black-Gold Eagle, she had undergone some decisive changes that triggered this mission?
However, Lugh knew that he had to do his best.
Most importantly, he had settled the most difficult flight-type pet beast. It would be much more convenient to search for other Platinum-tier pet beasts. With the Stormhawk around, it would be much more convenient.
Three days later, Lugh helped Lucy tame a Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane.
Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane had the potential of Top-tier Star Glory. Its talent was slightly inferior to the Black-Gold Eagle.
However, Lucy was already very satisfied.
Seven days later, after Lucy carefully studied the map, she told Lugh that there might be a Platinum-level Earth Dragon Beast nearby.
“That Earth Dragon Beast has long been targeted by the Pavilion of Treasures. I hope they haven’t made a move yet.”
Lucy said so.
Lucy was also capable of poaching her own people.
But of course, he wouldn’t object.
Under Lucy’s guidance, they killed all the Fierce Beasts along the way, and the Stormhawk found the whereabouts of that Earth Dragon Beast.
It seemed that the Pavilion of Treasures hadn’t had the time to make a move on that Earth Dragon Beast.
Lugh also glanced at the Earth Dragon Beast and found that the Earth Dragon Beast’s talent was not bad either. It could be considered as a high-quality meat shield talent.
Under the cooperation of the Black-Gold Eagle and the Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane, Lucy defeated the Earth Dragon Beast and successfully subdued her fourth pet beast.
The last pet beast was discovered by the Stormhawk by chance during the night.
The Emperor Top-tier potential Netherworld Phantom Cat. Wind, dark, gold. Three attributes. Its talent was to hide its aura and jump, as well as invisibility. It was good at stealth and assassination. It possessed a rare movement speed among earth-type pet beasts. It was a true assassin.
However, at this moment, it was unfortunate to meet the Stormhawk.
Its rare level of hiding aura and stealth skills could not escape the eyes of the Stormhawk.
Emperor-tier potential, Low-tier Platinum strength, outstanding assassination talent.
Such an outstanding assassin-type Fierce Beast. If it was before, Lugh might have used it himself.
But now, he had a better target.
Spatial attributes only existed in the legends.
That was the pet beast he wanted the most right now.
This Netherworld Phantom Cat could only be given to Lucy.
To be honest, Lugh liked to pet cats.
But then he thought about it. Why couldn’t he pet Lucy’s cat?
After waking Lucy up and telling her about the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s appearance nearby, Lucy was stunned.
“You’re a Platinum-tier Beast Master yourself. Don’t you want it?”
“I have other goals.”
Was there a better choice than an Emperor-tier beast?
Lucy finally understood.
An Emperor-tier beast was no longer as good as Lugh’s eyes.
“Let’s go, go catch it!”
“Yes.”
“That Netherworld Phantom Cat isn’t simple. Let’s discuss our strategy first.”
Lugh was very clear about the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s abilities, and the strategy was quickly discussed.
Lucy listened very seriously.
Lugh brought Lucy and directly pointed out the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s hiding area to her. Then, he took the Stormhawk and retreated to the side.
Lucy’s expression was serious. She summoned the Black-Gold Eagle, the Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane, and the Earth Dragon Beast.
The Black-Gold Eagle and the Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane bombarded the area in a carpet-like manner.
“Screech!”
The Stormhawk let out a casual cry.
Lucy instantly reacted. She opened her hands, and white frost aura gushed out, surrounding all the areas around her.
Soon, a petite figure appeared beside her.
The black figure’s body was covered in white frost.
Lucy was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.
If not for Lugh, who had already guessed this possibility and devised a plan for her to deal with it, she might have died here.
After directly defeating the Fierce Beast and signing a contract with it, she would indeed receive a higher level of loyalty.
However, it was not that others could not interfere.
As long as the matter was done discreetly, it would be fine as long as the defeated Fierce Beast did not know about it.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat barely managed to land on all fours on the ground.
It wanted to escape, but its speed was a lot slower than before.
The Ice Moon Elf’s exceptional freezing talent was very powerful.
Once its body condensed frost, its movements would begin to slow down, and the Netherworld Phantom Cat would be at a complete disadvantage.
Lucy did not disappoint Lugh’s expectations. Riding on the Black-Gold Eagle, she quickly froze the Netherworld Phantom Cat completely on the spot.
After signing the contract with the Netherworld Phantom Cat, Lucy felt like she was still dreaming.
She had regained her strength.
No, not only had she regained her strength, she was even stronger than before.
Especially the pets she had, the quality of which was extremely high. It wasn’t inferior to a veteran Star Glory Beast Master.
[Ding! Lucy is very satisfied with her pet lineup. Mission completed.]
After receiving the system notification that he had completed the mission, Lugh was in a good mood.
“Let’s go back and sleep.”
“Yes, Major.”
This time when Lucy called him Major, she was full of energy.
Her strength had returned, and her confidence seemed to have returned as well.
To be honest, Lugh admired a confident woman.
After returning to the camp, Lugh took a look at the tent.
In the past, their tents were very far apart.
Now, their tents were only five meters apart.
After returning to the tent, Lugh thought for a moment and chose to slightly strengthen the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.
“Ding! Your Divine Pet Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s talent has increased. Its growth potential has increased from Rare-Tier to Peerless-Tier Spirit Resistance.”
[Spirit Resistance (Peerless): This pet is greatly immune to spirit-type skills and the effects of an illusion spell.]
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly was a spirit-type Divine Beast. With the Peerless-grade Spirit Resistance talent, it would be able to seize enough opportunities to fight against other spirit-type Fierce Beasts in the future.
On the second day after recovering the Netherworld Phantom Cat, after enjoying breakfast, Lugh called Lucy over.
Lucy stood beside him without any expression on her face.
“About a month from now, September 27th, is my friend’s birthday.” He took out a young Rock Puppet that was sleeping in the spatial capsule. He lives in Seven Star City. I hope you can give this gift to him.”
Lucy recognized the Rock Puppet at a glance.
It was a Star Glory level growth potential pet beast and was born with extremely strong defense.
It was rare for Lucy to ask another question. “The Major’s friend must be very important to you, right?”
“We grew up together and we have a very good relationship.” Lugh smiled awkwardly. “Speaking of which, I feel a little sorry for him. The Rock Puppet was given to me by Guardian Brian during the Battle of Starry City. When I got it, I wanted to give it to him, but I was a little reluctant at the time. I spent a few million federation coins, so I dragged it out. After coming to Skylight city, I couldn’t find the time to go back. Now, I can only rely on you.”
“Everyone has their own selfish motives,” Lucy said concisely. “During the Battle of Starry City, the major was still a Silver-tier Beast Master, right? The Major was born a commoner, so it’s normal for him to have his own selfish motives. If it were me, I wouldn’t be willing to part with it either. I might as well sell it for money to increase my strength.”
Lugh smiled. “Are you trying to comfort me?”
Unexpectedly, Lucy changed the topic. “Actually, if the Major had given it to him at that time, he might have done something bad out of good intentions.”
Lugh frowned. “Why?”
“Star Glory-tier pet beasts with growth potential are also not that easy to control,” Lucy said. “The higher the growth potential of a pet beast, the higher the probability of it defecting. Did the Major not notice that during the Southwest Region Competition, the majority of those youngsters with good backgrounds were using Platinum-level pet beasts with potential?”
Lugh remembered what Elisa had said to him in Mita.
