Chapter 341: Ready To Return To Iron Cloud Village
The attack from Big Mouth came quickly and suddenly. The swift and fierce momentum locked onto the Green Flying Mantis.
“Dodge.” John did not want his source beast to end up like Jax, so he shouted in panic.
The Green Flying Mantis had already seen the fate of its own kind. It did not need John to remind it. Its long and thin insect feet squatted down and jumped up, trying to dodge the enemy’s frontal attack.
However, the instant the Green Flying Mantis leaped up, a gray mist enveloped its body. A sudden strong sense of weakness made its body freeze.
Breath of Plague.
Big Mouth released the Breath of Plague, causing the Green Flying Mantis’ movements to pause. This pause bought enough time for Big Mouth’s attack.
Rip!
The Green Flying Mantis that couldn’t dodge in time was directly torn apart by Big Mouth’s Azure Dragon Tear, turning into a pile of minced meat that scattered on the ground, making one feel nauseous.
“Squeak, squeak.”
The Green Flying Mantis let out a painful cry as its upper body landed on the ground.
As a source beast of the insect race with tenacious vitality, the Green Flying Mantis didn’t die immediately even though it lost half of its body.
However, this kind of vitality only brought it the pain of prolonged death.
Big Mouth slowly walked in front of the Green Flying Mantis and used its strong toes to crush its head. The Green Flying Mantis waved its double blades powerlessly a few times.
Then, there was no more movement.
The source beast died, the contract was broken, and its master’s body suffered a backlash.
Just like Jax, John’s realm was directly shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became extremely pale.
Seeing Big Mouth that was constantly walking towards him and the scarlet compound eyes that were stained with green blood on his head, John was so scared that his legs went soft.
“Impossible! How can a Scavenger Fly be so strong? No, I have to call for reinforcements.”
At the critical moment, John remembered the signal flare in his arms. It was originally used to tell his companions that they had found the target to intercept. He did not expect that Lugh would not be able to block it and that a terrifying fellow would come.
He took out the signal flare from his waist in a flurry. There was a white line at the end of the red signal flare. With a light pull, it could send out a signal of fireworks.
John, who was about to pull the signal flare, suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
His pale face slowly lowered his head. He found that the blade was emitting a golden glow. John’s eyes revealed a terrified expression.
“This is…”
There was blood at the corner of John’s mouth. He felt that his consciousness was gradually fading. He stiffly wanted to turn his head to see who had killed him, but before he could do so, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The signal flare also rolled out from John’s hand and rolled to the feet of the murderer.
At the last moment, when John was about to call for reinforcements, he was successfully stopped by Lugh using his dagger to stab him in the back.
As John Fell, the net that was aimed at him was finally torn open.
Lugh knew that he did not have much time. This road was not normal, and they would quickly realize that he had to arrive as soon as possible.
Lugh and Big Mouth’s figures quickly disappeared into the forest.
…
Iron Cloud Village was preparing a celebration ceremony today. The purpose was to celebrate the resistance against the attack of the Fierce Beasts.
Many people were not present today, which made the villagers and neighbors who came to discuss.
At this time, in the village chief’s big house, several influential people in the village gathered together.
Among them, Chief Eddie was sitting on the main seat. On the left and right were Hill and Carter. These two people were chief Eddie’s right and left hands. They managed documents and handled military affairs respectively.
Next was the Oliver family. Their duty was to guard the main road. Most importantly, they were the ones who started the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group.
“When will Lugh return? Today is a good day to celebrate victory,” a bald man said.
“Don’t you still have time? Just wait and see. It’s not your turn to be anxious if Lugh doesn’t come.” Village Chief Eddie didn’t say anything, but Carter opened his mouth to speak.
Carter was dressed in military uniform. He was in his thirties, dressed in heavy armor, and had a strong warrior’s aura. When he spoke, his voice was muffled. Normally, he had long disliked the eccentric Anderson.
“Cough, cough… Carter, you brute, you!” Anderson choked on his tea after being ridiculed by Carter. He coughed until his face was red, and he was out of breath as he glared angrily at Carter.
Anderson’s son, Griffin, was ranked third in the Beast Master training competition in the village, behind Lugh and Oliver.
As a result, Carter had called him that on purpose to annoy him. It had nothing to do with the clan leader’s ranking, which was why Anderson was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him?
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” After seeing his anger, Carter opened his mouth and mocked him once more.
“Tough guy, I think you’re courting death!” Anderson’s phoenix eyes turned cold. The energy in his body spread out, and he directly released his source beast.
A faint purple light flashed. After a two-meter-wide pattern lit up, a Purple-Backed Python appeared.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
The Purple-Backed Python’s race quality was at the peak of upper Gold-rank. From its level, it was already infinitely close to Platinum rank.
Its body was nearly three meters long, and its purple scales were shimmering. Its slender snake tongue was constantly moving, and its cold snake eyes were fixed on Carter.
“Hey, do you think I’m afraid of you?” Carter’s face became a little fierce, and he summoned his own source beast.
The beast space opened, and a large two-meter-long canine source beast leaped out.
It was confronting the Purple-Backed Python.
The Savage Fang Hound’s race quality was also at the peak of Gold High-tier, and its level was infinitely close to Platinum-rank.
Its thick, earthy yellow fur stood on end, and its sharp claws directly tore apart the rock. Its two long sharp fangs were exposed outside of its bloody mouth, looking extremely fierce.
The two of them, the two beasts, began to confront each other at the village chief’s house.
“Enough!”
Seeing that Carter and Anderson had daggers drawn, it wouldn’t take long before both sides started to fight.
Seeing this, Village Chief Eddie slammed his palm heavily on the table and shouted angrily.
Hearing the village chief’s shout, Carter and Anderson slowly withdrew their auras. It was clear that the village chief’s words were still very important at this moment.
Both parties glared at each other, then withdrew their source beasts and returned to their seats.
“I called you here to discuss how to handle the Fierce Beast Festival, and not to let you come here to cause trouble. This matter can not be carelessly handled.”
Speaking up to this point, Eddie could not help but let out a long sigh.
The Fierce Beast Festival was not only a celebration of the villagers for the contestants who had achieved results in the Fierce Beast Competition, but also a farewell ceremony for them.
No mistakes could be allowed in such a formal and solemn occasion. After all, this concerned the face of the village and the village chief’s own official career.
If they could achieve results in the city trials in a month’s time, then as the village chief, he would also benefit from it. These benefits would be decided by the achievements of the village geniuses.
“Village Chief, there’s not much time left before the grand ceremony. If Lugh doesn’t show up, wouldn’t it be a big mistake?” At this moment, a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache said softly while stroking his beard. This handlebar mustache man was the head of the household, Hill.
“That’s right. Where did Lugh go?” Carter patted his helmet and said in annoyance.
Village Chief Eddie looked at Anderson and said, “Can you solve it?”
Anderson narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Yes. Let Oliver replace Lugh to obtain the qualification this time.”
After Anderson spoke, the family head of the Oliver family, Berkeley, who had been silent all this time, still sat in the distance and sipped his tea without any expression on his face. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him and he didn’t say a word.
After all, this matter concerned his clan, and some words couldn’t be said through his own mouth.
“But, if this is the case, wouldn’t it be a little unfair to Lugh…” Eddie had a conflicted look on his face after listening. It was clear that he wasn’t willing to deal with it in such a way.
“This is something that can’t be helped. If Lugh isn’t present, and thus delays the celebration, then it will definitely make the Lord of the Beast God Cult present unhappy. We can’t even bear the responsibility.” Anderson put on a thoughtful face and continued.
