Chapter 354: Training and Feeding of Source Beasts

Thus, Lugh purchased a large number of ordinary-grade poison attribute source crystals, along with the four Poison Toads and the Sticky Grass he had stored at home.
He refined a bottle of poisonous mucus to nourish the poison attribute. After smearing it on the cut bamboo, he fixed it on all the hook claws of Big Mouth. He planned to cultivate the poison attribute of Big Mouth from the outside in.
Lugh was prepared to transform Big Mouth’s dragon skin, outer layer beetle, and hook claws into the direction of the poison attribute. Once Big Mouth’s body started to adapt to the poison attribute, he would start to master the internal poison attribute.
The effect of the poisonous mucus was extremely good. Although it did not upgrade Big Mouth’s hook claws into poisonous insect claws, it had already given Big Mouth’s claw skills a certain degree of corrosiveness, of course, there was still a big gap between it and the poison in the poison sac of the green-backed Poison Toad.
However, Lugh was not in a hurry. However, one night had such a miraculous effect. He believed that it would not be long before Big Mouth would grasp a new attribute. Moreover, while upgrading hook claw, it could also train the degree of mastery of Bloody Claw.
The mastery of the source skill was in direct proportion to the combat strength it displayed. If the mastery was higher, it would be able to display a stronger combat strength, and vice versa.
Currently, the most powerful technique Big Mouth had mastered was the Bloody Claw. Naturally, he had to focus on practicing it.
The mastery of the origin technique was divided into three levels: Small success, great success, and perfection.
Big Mouth’s mastery of the origin techniques was: ‘Azure Dragon Tear (great success), Physical Strengthening (Great Success,) Breath of Plague (Great Success), Bloody Claw (Small Success).’
Currently, Big Mouth’s mastery of Bloody Claw was still a little immature. In the other aspects, he could already display his talent as a general and had already reached the level of great success.
Lugh continued to let Big Mouth use the Bloody Claw on boulder to practice its mastery of the source skills. After Big Mouth exhausted the last bit of source energy in his body, he let Big Mouth stop training.
The training place was on the hill that Lugh’s house was on. As there were no source beasts on the hill, Lugh used it as a temporary training place.
Seeing Big Mouth looking listless, Lugh took advantage of the early morning training to bring Big Mouth back to his home.
At this time, Lugh took out 10 bags of worm meatballs and a jar containing the larva of the devouring Green Silkworm Moth from the warehouse. He was ready to feed Big Mouth special food for the first time to see how the effect would be.
Big Mouth seemed to have sensed that its master wanted to feed it something delicious. Big Mouth, who had been hungry for the whole day yesterday, quickly ran to Lugh and sat there obediently like a little savage dog begging for food.
Lugh used his source energy to defrost all the worm meatballs. He opened a pill refining cauldron placed in the backyard and pointed it at the flame device at the bottom of the cauldron.
He threw in a low-quality civilian-grade beast-type source crystal that had yet to be used up. A burst of fire instantly ignited at the bottom of the cauldron.
Ten worm meatballs were directly thrown into the cauldron to be heated. The pill cauldron that was originally used to refine medicine was used by Lugh to heat up the food. If Gary saw it, he would not be able to avoid being scolded.
However, Gary was still sleeping soundly at this time. Lugh did not care so much as long as he could heat it up.
Without the specially made cauldron cover, the 10 meatballs quickly removed the frost. After knowing that the surface of the meatballs started to squirm, Lugh removed the bottom fire and took out the meatballs.
This was a special preservation method for special foods. The way to use the meatballs was to first use source energy to remove the frozen source energy layer on the surface of the meatballs. Then, using high heat to heat up the meatballs until the surface of the meatballs started to squirm a little, then they could be eaten.
Lugh assigned each of the five meatballs to Big Mouth. This was just an appetizer to let Big Mouth, who had used up all its source energy, regain some of its strength.
After that, it would eat the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth, which had the strength to fully absorb and digest the nutrients and energy within.
Big Mouth was like a hungry dog pouncing on its food. The meatball, which was the size of a human head, was swallowed into its stomach one by one. The sound of chewing coupled with its ferocious facial expression made its body full of the most primitive sense of violence and beauty.
Big Mouth finished all five meatballs in one go. The ability of a foodie could be seen at a glance.
“Roar…” Big Mouth began to cry out hungrily again.
Then, Lugh opened the jar that was emitting a huge stench. Among them, the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth was still full of vitality. They desperately wanted to break through the source energy shield at the mouth of the jar and escape into the sky.
As he wished, Lugh followed the instructions of the food and used the source energy to remove the source energy shield at the mouth of the jar. The larva of the Green Silkworm Moth jumped out of the jar directly.
“Big Mouth, eat it!”
Lugh didn’t need to say much. When the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth jumped in the air, a few hook claws slashed across, and the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth was directly divided into three parts.
Big Mouth stretched out a leg, and the three hook claws on each leg were strung together and sent into the mouth.
At this moment, Big Mouth’s body grew taller, and the muscles on its body became stronger. The beetle armor on its back also became much thicker.
After Big Mouth ate the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth, it directly leveled up. Now, Big Mouth had reached level 7.
“As expected of a special food that costs one gold coin each. It is indeed extraordinary.”
A trace of joy appeared in Lugh’s eyes. Although the previous battle had allowed him to approach the threshold of level 7, just using the larvae of the green silkworm moth was enough to directly break through the level. This was enough to prove that the gold coins spent were not a loss at all.
Don’t underestimate the source beast’s eating experience. If the food was good enough, it would keep the source beast in a good mood. If it kept eating bad food, would it be in a good mood? Would it be able to eat this kind of food for a long time?
As long as the source beast’s mood was guaranteed, the training would be twice the result with half the effort.
Looking at Big Mouth who was excited about breaking through the level, the flower branches flew around Big Mouth to celebrate.
Leaving Big Mouth to move freely in the backyard, Lugh prepared breakfast and sent it to Gary’s bedroom.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Come in.” After hearing Lugh’s knock on the door, Gary’s voice came from the room.
“Gary, how’s your injury?” Lugh put the food on the table and asked Gary, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
“Well, the external injury is almost healed, but the internal injury still needs some time to recuperate,” Gary opened his eyes and said after drinking a mouthful of water.
“There’s no rush. Just recuperate slowly. Eat something first,” Lugh said.
Gary nodded and picked up the bowl of porridge. After drinking a mouthful, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Lugh, and asked, “The effect of this medicine is so obvious. Does it cost a lot of money?”
“Not much, just a few hundred gold.” Lugh’s expression did not change as he replied.
When Gary heard this, his face was filled with shame.
He felt that his strength was useless and had even dragged down the team. He lowered his head.
“Captain, I was useless. Not only did I not help the team, but I also dragged you down. I…”
“Don’t say so much. If you are injured, take good care of yourself. I won’t say anything else.”
Gary nodded and didn’t say anything else.
After that, Lugh went out to refine the medicine.
Lugh didn’t immediately refine the medicine. Instead, he closed his eyes and sat quietly by the side.
This was a habit Lugh had developed since he was young.
Refining medicine required his mind and spirit to be fully immersed in it. He couldn’t have any distracting thoughts in order to refine high-quality medicine.
Lugh sat quietly for a while, then directly opened the cauldron fire in the refining room. He activated the source energy protection system in the cauldron, forming a sealed space inside the cauldron that didn’t allow the source energy to leak out.
After that, Lugh directly threw ten stalks of source energy grass into the cauldron, a grade eight insect-attributed source crystal, three essence yellow leaves, and powder ground from the horn of the Horned Rhinoceros.
Once the materials were thrown in, the cauldron lid was immediately sealed. Other than keeping the cauldron at a high temperature, it could also prevent the essence of the medicine from leaking out.
Lugh stretched out both of his hands in the shape of a sword finger. He used his source energy to directly refine the materials inside, carefully guiding them to fuse, and then converged in one place.
A layer of scarlet source energy immediately covered the surface of the green cauldron that Lugh was refining. One could see the scarlet source energy flowing and soaring on the surface of the cauldron.
The materials with different medicinal properties in the cauldron turned into countless light particles of different colors. The light particles continued to condense toward the center, and a small spherical pill was continuously expanding.
Under the guidance of the red source power, they condensed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a brown pellet had already condensed and formed.
