Chapter 356 - Poison Crystal Beetle
Chapter 356: Poison Crystal Beetle
When Village Chief Eddie saw that it was the request of the champion of the village, he thought that he had nothing to lose and readily agreed.
Thus, these few days, Big Mouth cultivated in the early morning and carried the heavy Green Mountain Rocks that were as tall as people one by one to the back of the mountain.
During the transportation, using the origin technique to strengthen one’s physique, not only could one cultivate the strength of one’s feet, one could also cultivate the proficiency of one’s origin technique. It could be said that it was killing two birds with one stone.
Starting from the morning of every day, after using the physical strength to strengthen one’s physique to transport the Green Mountain Rocks, one would begin the cultivation of the bloody claw.
Now, Big Mouth’s physical strength had been cultivated to perfection, and the Bloody Claw was already at the level of the great success stage.
Every day, Big Mouth would eat a larva of the Green Silkworm Moth, and there would be two meals of worm meatballs in the morning and evening. Each meal would require about ten meatballs, which was equivalent to one larva of the Green Silkworm Moth and twenty meatballs a day.
With the help of these special foods, Big Mouth’s fighting strength had improved a lot compared to before.
While Big Mouth was cultivating, Lugh did not stay idle. He started to cultivate the art of chaos and successfully broke through to the middle stage of cyan-iron rank the day before yesterday.
The quality of the source energy in Lugh’s body improved again. After two days of cultivation, he stabilized his newly improved realm and calmed the restless source energy sea in his body.
After Big Mouth cleaned up the Green Mountain Rocks, Lugh and Big Mouth returned the Green Mountain Rocks to Uncle Wang before returning home.
After routinely feeding Big Mouth, Lugh began to carefully observe Big Mouth’s hook claws.
At this time, Big Mouth’s hook claws had completed the transformation of the poisonous insect claws. Big Mouth’s hook claws were no longer as black and shiny as before. Instead, they had become long and narrow, and the tip of the hook claws had been dyed with a dark green color.
Now, even Big Mouth, who did not use its original skill, could easily cause the enemy’s wounds to rot. The transformation of the poisonous insect claws could be considered complete.
Lugh began to focus the poison attribute cultivation on the back of Big Mouth’s insect armor. After transforming it into a poisonous insect armor, in close combat with the enemy, the enemy who touched the insect armor would be poisoned, which would turn into a considerable advantage.
After having a general understanding of Big Mouth’s cultivation progress of the poison attribute, Lugh had Big Mouth put away the poison layer on the hook claw.
The poisonous beetle claw was covered with a layer of poison layer. When in combat, it was covered with the beetle claw. When not in combat, it could be put back into the gap between the beetle arm and the beetle claw.
This function allowed it to not be subject to various restrictions in daily life. It could be said to be very convenient and practical.
Before turning the Big Mouth into a poisonous beetle, Lugh still needed to let Big Mouth quickly mature. Because even a level 8 Big Mouth was only in its infancy stage, the beetle behind it had not expanded to all parts of the body.
And it was just a fledgling beetle.
The Wyvern’s beetle parts were not ordinary. Among the beetles, it could be considered as the superior outer shell of the insect clan. Big Mouth’s beetle was called the Thorn Beetle Armor. It was a fully armed beetle armor similar to the general armor.
The Thorn Beetle Armor could cover the compound eyes on Big Mouth’s head under the beetle armor. Although it could block the vision of the compound eyes, it could protect the eyes and other vulnerable parts very well.
Once Lugh imagined the fully armed appearance of the Big Mouth beetle armor, his heart surged. Because the body of Big Mouth’s huge scarlet compound eyes was too similar to that of a source beast of the Scavenger Flies… After the beetle armor covered the head, how cool would it be?
Humans always advocated beautiful things, and Lugh was no exception. After all, men had no resistance to handsome things.
In fact, it was mainly because Big Mouth’s current appearance was too ferocious, and it was too silly when it was acting cute. No matter what, as the owner, Lugh had to take good care of Big Mouth’s image.
Thus, Lugh decided to buy some medicine that would help the growth of the beetle in the last trip to Musen Town, so as to speed up the growth of Big Mouth’s beetle armor.
Moreover, Lugh also planned to enter the Forest of Despair to gain some experience. After all, it was very difficult for one to become successful just by studying at home. It was time for Big Mouth to grow in real combat.
After giving Big Mouth a perfect quality source energy pill, Lugh told it to recover the source energy in the backyard. Then, he went back to his house to pack his things and prepared to head to Musen Town.
Since Gary’s injury had completely recovered, Lugh only needed to devote himself to cultivation. All the housework and work in the house were handed back to Gary.
Although Big Mouth kept complaining that it was tired, it still persevered because its desire to become stronger was no less than its master’s.
Everything was changing in a beautiful direction
With the 500 gold coins that Gary had left for him, Lugh planned to make another trip to Musen Town to purchase a wave of cultivation resources.
Lugh believed that money had no value in itself. Only by maximizing the use of the money and getting what he needed most at the moment could the value of money be reflected.
After staying at home and having lunch, Lugh put Big Mouth back into the spirit space. As he had enough time today, Lugh did not choose to spend five gold coins to rent a business carriage. Instead, he rented a public ox carriage at the courier station.
After all, money could be saved as much as possible. It was best to use it where it was most needed.
The ox-cart’s speed was much slower than the horse-cart. It took about two hours to reach Musen Town.
After alighting from the carriage, Lugh had a clear goal. He first walked towards Musen Town’s common business street.
He walked to the shop that bought source beast food the last time and found a middle-aged man who specialized in selling insect-type source beast food.
Lugh spent 20 gold coins to buy another 20 Green Silkworm Moth larva. Adding the amount he bought earlier, it made up for Big Mouth’s monthly food demand.
Although Lugh’s funds were limited, he had to let Big Mouth eat at least one Green Silkworm Moth larva a day. After all, this was a good thing for Big Mouth’s growth.
After spending 20 gold coins to buy source beast food, Lugh turned around and left the shop. He began to walk to the area that specialized in selling source beast materials and processed products.
He walked to a shop that seemed to have a good flow of customers and specialized in selling all kinds of source beast materials. Lugh directly chose this shop to buy the materials needed to let the Big Mouth’s Thorn Beetle Armor grow.
“Boss, do you have materials for beetle-type source beasts?” Lugh asked the old merchant who was greeting customers.
“Yes, Brother. The beetle-type materials are here. What do you need?” The old merchant put on a friendly smile and led Lugh to an area where countless materials were placed.
Other than the larger source beast materials that needed to be placed separately, most of the materials were stored in wooden boxes. The half-opened wooden boxes were convenient for customers to browse through the samples, at the bottom of these wooden boxes, there were special labels and prices for the items.
The layout and design of the shop could allow customers to see it clearly at a glance, saving a lot of unnecessary questioning time.
Lugh began to carefully select suitable materials. He needed to refine a pill that would speed up the growth of the beetle. This kind of pill required two pills. One for internal consumption and one for external use as a medicinal bath to achieve the effect of speeding up the growth of the beetle.
To refine this kind of medicinal pill, the main ingredient was the powder ground from the carapace of the insect-type source beast, and the effectiveness of the medicinal pill was determined by the quality of the carapace of the insect-type source beast.
“The sharp horn of the Giant Horned Immortal, this material is too ordinary. It won’t do.
The soldier-level Hatchet-Edged Flying Beetle carapace, this is not bad, let’s take a look again…”
Lugh rubbed his chin, his gaze sweeping over the materials one by one, looking for the medicinal ingredients that he liked.
“Eh? This is…” Lugh seemed to have discovered something. Just as he was about to reach out to grab a wooden box that contained a special bug beetle.
“Customer, wait!” The old merchant saw this and hurriedly stopped Lugh’s actions.
Lugh stopped his actions and looked at the old merchant with some doubt.
“Customer, this bug beetle contains a lethal poison. It can not be easily touched,” the old merchant directly explained.
Lugh frowned and said, “Since it contains a lethal poison, why don’t you use a poison-proof method to preserve it?”
Some source beast materials could not be casually touched because of their own special nature. This was common sense, and Lugh was naturally clear about it.
However, often such materials would be used to isolate the danger with special methods, such as using a specially made transparent layer to isolate the poison and other methods. Therefore, he was puzzled that this beetle with a lethal poison was not specially protected.
