Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 340 – Broke Out of the Encirclement

However, no one could guarantee the safety of this avenue.

It wasn't that there were so many Fierce Beasts on this avenue, but that this avenue was a necessary route.

There were often bandits, scavengers, and other desperados who would rob and steal here.

And because this place was important, and the military didn't have enough manpower to suppress this place.

These bandit groups and the military formed a delicate balance.

The bandits guarded the main road here to prevent source beasts from entering the village, and the military turned a blind eye to their robbery.

Very quickly, Lugh started on his way back to the village.

“Sigh, I've been guarding this place for three days. Every day, I've been eating hard flatbread, and my mouth is almost empty.” A short and fat man leaned against a tree and threw flatbread as he complained.

“Stop complaining. When Boss finds out that you're so undisciplined, he'll teach you a lesson.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I just feel that Boss is too careful. I see that it's impossible for anyone to defeat the people of our Wolf Fang Mercenary Group on the main road. If those two outsiders weren't so careful yesterday, we would have directly rushed over and surrounded them, and they wouldn't have run away.”

“You are right. We don't even dare to touch the people of the military region here. We are indeed too careful. If that little girl was caught yesterday, it would be enough for us to have a good time.”

“If we continue to defend, we will go back to report our duty. Bear with it,” the lean young man said indifferently.

Although the lean man had always told his companions to be alert, he didn't think that anyone would be able to come out of the Forest of Despair during this period of time. After all, during this period of time, there were frequent disasters caused by Fierce Beasts. Many people who entered the forest were mostly eaten by Fierce Beasts, and none of them were eaten.

Most of them were people from large factions, or people with strong abilities. There was simply no meat for them to eat.

Now, the members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group were all sallow and emaciated.

Therefore, this lean man was just putting on an act and did not seriously carry out his orders.

“Hehe, you're still so pretentious, John.”

Jax knew John very well and immediately saw through his carefree attitude. He smiled and patted John's shoulder.

John, who was about to say something, also had a cold look in his eyes.

His gaze suddenly turned to a certain forest.

And Jax, who was beside him, also became alert.

Following their gaze, a source beast with a huge compound eye walked out from behind the tree. The hook claw in its hand gently twisted and made cracking sounds.

Scavenger Fly?

Why would such a source beast appear on the main road?

John's heart moved. He frowned, full of doubt.

Most source beasts had a specific area of activity. The Scavenger Flies were as strong as commoners, and they usually would not leave their nest too far away. People would often clean them up on the second main road.

Logically speaking, the Scavenger Flies that were weak would not appear here.

It was the first time that a Scavenger Fly had appeared on the main road today.

“What? A lost little fly. Just watch me crush it to death.” After saying that, Jax walked towards the source beast and looked at it with disdain.

“Be careful. I feel that something is wrong,” John reminded him. At this moment, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

“Got it, it will be over soon,” Jax replied casually. It was obvious that he did not mind John's caution.

“Come out, Big Lang!”

As Jax called out, the tree trunk on the top of the giant tree not far away from Jax made a few rustling sounds.

A figure that had perfectly merged with the color of the tree trunk had returned to its original appearance. A long, thin, emerald-green chain blade was placed in front of it. The emerald-green color perfectly matched the environment. It was a mantis source beast.

The mantis source beast hung upside down on the tree trunk. Its double sickles were shining under the sunlight.

The sharp blade could easily cut off the body of its prey. It made people feel a chill in their hearts.

“It really is the Green Flying Mantis. I didn't make a mistake. The two of them look sneaky. They really have evil intentions…” Lugh, who was standing on a tree not far away, spoke. Lugh was observing the source beast from a bird's eye view. He could tell the origin of the source beast at a glance. Then, a trace of viciousness appeared in his eyes.

[Name: Green Flying Mantis]

[Type: Insect]

[Innate Ability: Camouflage]

[Level: Low-Grade Silver]

The most common type of mantis source beast could reach a maximum of 1.7 meters when fully extended. The most iconic one was the emerald-green scythe that was as long as 1.5 meters.

Although its race quality was only Low-tier Silver, it was extremely valiant and good at fighting. It was extremely loyal to its master and it was extremely easy to develop its combat strength. Therefore, the Flying Mantis was one of the first choice source beasts for countless commoners without wealth.

From the appearance of the Green Flying Mantis, Lugh could tell that it was an extremely outstanding individual. At the very least, it was about to be upgraded to Middle-tier Silver.

“However, if that's all there is to it, then there is nothing to worry about.” Lugh's eyelids sank. His eyes became as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Then, his body slowly descended.

After that, he sank into the bushes.

The source beast that appeared in front of Jax and the others was indeed Big Mouth. However, it was not a low-tier source beast like the Scavenger Flies. However, this was not something that Jax could know about.

“Green Flying Mantis, chop it up for me.” Then, Jax smiled and ordered his source beast to chop the bug in front of him into two pieces.

The Green Flying Mantis that had been maintaining its movements on the tree trunk suddenly darted out. The slender wings on its back flapped, causing its speed to become even faster and fiercer.

The two blades that were crossed in front of its chest revealed a cold light that was as cold as death. Its yellow compound eyes had completely locked onto the big mouth.

If it was a Scavenger Fly, even if it had already reached Gold rank, it would still have a hard time escaping the fate of being cut into pieces by the scythe blade.

However, Big Mouth was not a weak Scavenger Fly. It was a proud and powerful source beast of the dragon race.

The thick smell of blood filled the air. In an instant, a few blood-red scratches flashed across the empty air.

The Green Flying Mantis that was attacking in the air suddenly paused in mid-air. Then, the scythe on the right side was directly cut off.

The sickle fell to the ground, and the two sides passed each other.

Big Mouth was fine, but the Green Flying Mantis directly broke one of its sickles, and its combat power was greatly reduced.

Before the others, including the Green Flying Mantis, could react, Big Mouth's claw-like toes appeared again, and blood-red scratches appeared, directly cutting the Green Flying Mantis into pieces.

Green flesh scattered on the ground.

After two rounds, the Green Flying Mantis died.

Sensing that the contract with the Green Flying Mantis in the familiar space had been completely broken, Jax's face instantly turned pale, and a large amount of energy dissipated.

He was originally at Mid-tier Silver, but he was instantly destroyed, and his strength decreased greatly.

“Wah!”

Jax suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The side effects of the death of a source beast came very quickly. After Jax spat out the blood, his face revealed a terrified expression.

He pointed his trembling finger at Big Mouth.

“This… This is impossible. My eldest son would never be killed by a Scavenger Fly…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his throat was cut by a bloody scar from Big Mouth. He could no longer speak.

In the end, he widened his eyes unwillingly and fell straight to the ground.

“Jax, what the f*ck is happening to the ground?” Things happened too quickly. Before John could react, Jax had already fallen to the ground. Now, he was both angry and shocked.

Big Mouth did not care about what the other party was thinking. He immediately turned around and used a skill behind him.

“Azure Dragon Tear!”

A blood-red light covered the front of Big Mouth. Big Mouth was like a bull, crashing into the empty space.

However, was there really nothing?

After Big Mouth charged for a short distance, a guy who had merged with the camouflage of the environment revealed his real body. This guy was also a Green Flying Mantis.

“How is this possible?”

John originally thought that he had made the other party careless and deliberately pretended to be shocked and angry. Then, he used his source energy to send his source beast to wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He never thought that he would be seen through by the other party directly. This caused John's face to change again and again.

After Big Mouth used the Azure Dragon Tear, whether it was the explosive attack or the frontal defense, both had been raised to a whole new level. It was impossible for John's Mid-stage Gold Green Flying Mantis to face the enemy head-on.

Although Big Mouth was only at the early-tier Gold-rank, the suppression of the dragon race was enough to make up for this gap.
