Chapter 376 - Transaction Requirements
Following a huge roar from Big Mouth, a faint red light could be seen coming out from the light green storm.
Then, the huge tornado showed signs of disharmony. The whirlpool-like tornado seemed to have been filled by something and was expanding rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the Wind Spirit Dragonfly"s Wind Tornado was disintegrated by a huge force. The huge tornado lost its form and the whistling sound of the strong wind stopped.
After disintegrating the origin skill, the strong wind tilted in all directions. Emma and Lugh, who were at the edge of the field, had no choice but to use their hands to block in front of them to prevent the sand and gravel from blowing into their eyes.
Lugh"s gray sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were filled with calmness.
On the other hand, Emma"s eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment. She looked at everything that was happening in front of her and muttered, "What exactly is going on..."
After the strong wind dissipated, Big Mouth"s figure reappeared in front of everyone"s eyes. At this moment, his body was surrounded by a layer of light red flowing around him. There was not a single trace of him being swept away by the storm on the ground half a meter around him.
This was exactly what it looked like when it used the origin skill, Azure Dragon Tear, but now, Big Mouth was much more familiar with it than before.
After the red flowing light dissipated, Big Mouth"s body did not have the slightest injury. There were no signs of being compressed by the storm or being cut by the wind blades on the beetle. It stood in its original spot unscathed. Its body carried a silent power that intimidated the Wind Spirit Dragonfly.
"Admit defeat. You have no chance of winning. The gap is too big." At this time, Lugh finally spoke, speaking calmly to Emma.
It was not to boast about something to show off, but to tell the truth. Although Emma"s Wind Spirit Dragonfly"s talent was not bad, its strength was still too immature. The current it could not even break Big Mouth"s defense, so how could it beat Big Mouth?
However, Emma didn"t think so. Her wheat-colored face revealed a trace of anger as she said, "Are you humiliating me? If we don"t fight to the end, how will we know the result!?"
"Little Wind, use all of your strength to unleash the Wind Tornado!"
Sensing its master"s anger, the Wind Spirit Dragonfly, which had used up a lot of source energy and stamina, used all of its strength to unleash its source skill, trying to heavily injure Big Mouth in front of it and vent its anger for its master.
Lugh looked at the angry Emma and understood that his words had angered her. However, the same words were understood differently by different people, so Lugh didn"t say anything more, he just stood there silently and shook his head.
"Roar!"
When the storm on the stage reappeared next to the Wind Spirit Dragonfly, with a loud roar, a figure covered in a sh.e.l.l broke through the storm at an extremely fast speed and flew in front of the Wind Spirit Dragonfly.
The Wind Spirit Dragonfly clearly had not reacted yet. It could only see countless hook claws placed all over its body.
At this moment, Big Mouth opened all of its limbs, surrounding the Wind Spirit Dragonfly in between the hook claws, making it unable to move.
The cold hook claws were suffused with a sharp cold brilliance. There was a light blue layer on the edge of the sharp hook claws. These hook claws were not only sharp, they also contained a very strong poison.
If the Wind Spirit Dragonfly was. .h.i.t by that strike, with the Wind Spirit Dragonfly"s weak defense, even if it did not die, it would probably be seriously injured and enter a poisoned state.
The Wind Spirit Dragonfly looked at the figure in front of it that was much taller than it was. The ferocious mouthpart and the scarlet compound eyes under the insect sh.e.l.l looked very terrifying. In addition, the powerful aura emitted from Big Mouth directly made the Wind Spirit Dragonfly tremble in fear. It completely lost its will to fight.
After Emma saw this scene, she knew that she had lost this compet.i.tion. She could only grit her teeth and say, "I... admit defeat."
After Emma admitted defeat, Big Mouth slowly released the legs that surrounded the Wind Spirit Dragonfly under Lugh"s signal. After that, it no longer paid attention to the Wind Spirit Dragonfly and directly turned around to fly back to its master"s side.
Big Mouth patted its abdomen with its hook claw, showing a posture of taking credit.
"Well done." Looking at Big Mouth"s posturing, a smile appeared on his face. After patting Big Mouth"s head with his hand and praising it, he turned around and was ready to leave.
"You! Wait."
Hearing Emma calling him from behind, Lugh also stopped and turned back to look at her.
Looking at Lugh"s expressionless face, as if it was not strange for him to defeat her, Emma felt an inexplicable impatience in her heart and was about to lash out at him.
However, Emma thought about it again. Her opponent"s source beast did not really harm her Wind Spirit Dragonfly at the last moment. With her opponent being able to severely injure the Wind Spirit Dragonfly, Emma knew that this was the result of her opponent being merciful, speaking of which, she actually owed the other party a favor.
She seemed to be unconvinced, but she did not know how to blame the other party. This caused Emma to be at a loss for a moment.
"What"s the matter?"
Lugh frowned as he looked at Emma, who had a variety of expressions on her face, and asked in puzzlement.
Emma looked at Lugh and snorted coldly, "Don"t be so smug. Big Brother Spender lost to Austin of your Iron Cloud Village, and I lost to you too. This time, your Iron Cloud Village can be considered to have won, but in the future, the two of us will definitely defeat you. You better remember this!"
Lugh did not expect Emma and Spender to come from the same village. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly understood. No wonder this guy had a bit of hostility toward him from the beginning. It turned out that her fellow villager had been defeated by Austin, and the hatred had shifted to him.
"An unexpected disaster..." Lugh sighed bitterly in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. He nodded at Emma indifferently and said, "I"ll remember it."
Emma shook her head, snorted coldly, and left with her Wind Spirit Dragonfly.
Lugh shook his head helplessly, took back his Big Mouth, and returned to the contestant preparation room to wait for the next match.
On the host and guest stand, after seeing that the two representatives of Lotus Village had been eliminated by the people of Iron Cloud Village, Lilian directly threw a charming glance at Eddie and said, "Eddie, all the representatives of my village have been eliminated by the young men of your village. Do you want to compensate me like this?"
Eddie said without any hesitation, "Forget it. Today, you and I will call each other brother and sister. Brother here will apologize to sister."
"Cheh, who wants to be brother and sister? That"s not the answer I want." Looking at Eddie who was still joking, Lilian secretly cursed him in her heart for being a stone that did not understand romance.
The hesitation on Eddie"s face became even more intense. Then, he said with a conflicted expression, "Then... you and I will call each other brother in the future?"
Lilian: "..."
In the contestant preparation room, a person who had been waiting for Lugh for a long time went straight to Lugh, who had just returned to the preparation room. That person was Duncan. At this moment, a warm smile appeared on his face as he stood in front of Lugh.
"What"s the matter?"
At this moment, Duncan"s face was filled with a smile. Lugh frowned as he looked at Duncan, whose image had changed greatly.
"Don"t worry, I"m here to make a deal with you."
Duncan did not address Lugh like how he did the others. Instead, he spoke to Lugh in a calm tone.
Lugh did not say anything. He just looked at Duncan quietly, wanting to see what the other party was planning?
Duncan"s previous performance had already let Lugh see this person clearly. This person was ruthless by nature and was definitely not a kind person. Therefore, Lugh was still quite wary of Duncan.
Duncan did not care whether Lugh was silent or not. He directly said the content of the transaction he wanted. "I am willing to pay 10,000 gold coins for your source beast. Moreover, I will ask my family to help you choose a high-grade soldier-grade source beast with outstanding talent as compensation for canceling the soul contract. What do you think of this transaction?"
Only then did Lugh understand Duncan"s true purpose. It turned out that after Duncan saw that Big Mouth was a general-level Wyvern, he wanted to bully the ignorant country people and deliberately blackmail his source beast.
Lugh, who knew the Wyvern race very well, naturally would not be fooled. It must be known that the price Duncan offered was equivalent to a drop in the ocean compared to the market price of the Wyvern. It was very obvious that he was here to deceive Lugh.
"Sorry, I"m not interested in this deal. I refuse." Lugh rejected Duncan"s deal without even thinking.
The smile on Duncan"s face froze, but he still did not give up. He continued to persuade, "If you are not satisfied with the price, I can still raise the price. How about this? 30,000 gold coins. What do you think?"
"No matter how much you increase the price, I only have one answer, which is that I have no interest in your deal."
No matter how much Duncan offered, Lugh would not sell his close Big Mouth as a commodity, let alone Duncan who was trying to deceive him.
Therefore, Lugh didn"t give Duncan any face and directly refused.
After hearing Lugh"s words, the smile on Duncan"s face gradually disappeared, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face. His eyes coldly stared at the neither servile nor overbearing Lugh.
