Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 353 – The Larva of the Green Silkworm Moth

“Hehe, little brother, this jar is the most expensive special food of the insect-type source beast that I sell here.” The middle-aged uncle suppressed the stench and smiled with a slightly green face.

Opening the lid of the jar, the stench became even stronger. There was a fist-sized insect-type source beast inside that was continuously ramming towards the outside of the jar.

However, every time this insect-type source beast reached the jar's opening, it would be bounced back by an invisible energy shield. Clearly, this jar that stored insects had its own rules.

“F*ck! Live food?! It's too disgusting! I know your insect-type source beast's rations are a little disgusting, but this is too f*cking…”

A female customer in the surrounding beast-type source beast sales area smelled the stench and turned around to look curiously in the direction of the stench. She was immediately frightened by the lively and vicious insect-type source beast in the jar.

Hearing the woman's exclamation, the group of Beast Masters who were raising insect-type source beasts couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. One after another, they roared, “B*llshit! No matter how disgusting we are, we've never bought this kind of special food before! No! You stinky woman, who are you calling disgusting?!”

Lugh didn't care about the others' arguments. His eyes stared straight at the source beast in the jar, his eyes shining as he said excitedly, “This is… The larva of the Green Silkworm Moth?!”

“You know your stuff, little brother. Let me tell you, you came at the right time. A batch of Green Silkworm Moth larva just came in today. They are very fresh!” The middle-aged man grinned. Especially after he said 'they are very fresh', the surrounding guests suddenly felt a chill.

The Green Silkworm Moth was the same as the Giant Horned Immortal. They were both medium-level civilian source beasts, but there was a big difference.

Unlike the Giant Horned Immortal, which was a common insect source beast, the Green Silkworm Moth's survival conditions were very particular. It needed professional artificial breeding methods to be able to reproduce in large numbers, and there were very few wild individuals.

Moreover, the larvae of the Green Silkworm Moth would subconsciously devour substances that contained high energy, and only after they had enough energy in their bodies would they begin to pupate. As long as they learned how to spit silk, they would be able to pupate the larva of the Green Silkworm Moth.

Its body contained all the energy and nutrients that it had absorbed and stored since it was born. Such larva of source beasts was extremely suitable as the special food for bug-type source beasts.

The middle-aged man saw Lugh's expression of interest. He closed the jar and smiled.

“Little brother, the larvae of the Green Silkworm Moth here are all fed with herbs. Their bodies contain a lot of nutrients and energy.”

“Moreover, these little guys can be kept for about three months. If you feed them a commoner-level insect-attribute source crystal every five days, they will be able to stay alive.”

“How much is it?!”

Lugh was very satisfied with this and directly asked the price.

“Because their storage tools are quite expensive, they only cost one gold coin each,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“One gold coin?” Lugh nodded and thought about it. In fact, this price was a little beyond the budget Lugh had bought. After all, he could not use all the money he had left to buy food.

After a moment of silence, Lugh said, “Give me 13 servings, and give me 600 of the worm meatballs just now.”

After seeing Lugh pondering, the middle-aged man, who thought that Lugh was not going to buy them, was ecstatic. He said enthusiastically, “Okay, I'll charge you a total of 19 gold coins.”

“The quantity of these things is relatively large. Can you help me move them to the designated location?” Lugh asked.

“Don't worry, customer. Our shop is in charge of this kind of business. Today, you are very generous. We will help you move them to the designated location for free.”

The middle-aged man spoke fawningly. After all, a business worth more than 100 gold coins was a huge income for a shop like theirs.

After filling out his residence, Lugh left the shop under the watchful eyes of countless people.

After all, most of the people who bought things in this kind of place were of the commoner class. This kind of person who paid 100 gold coins in one go was considered a rich young master in their eyes.

After that, Lugh used the remaining money he had on him to purchase some source beast ingredients, and also exchanged the source crystals he didn't need for one gold coin. Although one gold coin wasn't a lot, a mosquito's legs were still meat no matter how small they were.

He only left behind five gold coins for the courier station. After renting a special-class carriage for business, he went home. On this trip today, Lugh spent all the money he had on him. He also deeply felt that Beast Masters were a profession that burned money.

After arriving at the Iron Cloud Village, the sky had already darkened. At the same time, the relay station had also temporarily closed for business. He happened to be one of the last batch of customers.

Without staying any longer, Lugh returned home. He discovered that the larvae of the devouring Green Silkworm Moth he had bought at the source beast food store had already been delivered. There were exactly twenty cans, and there wasn't the slightest bit of damage or loss. It was obvious that the service of that store was very efficient.

When Lugh saw this, he nodded secretly. He felt that he might be able to patronize that store again next time.

When he reached home, Lugh felt a little bloated and pain in his head. He immediately felt a wave of weakness. He had dealt with the Berkeley family's matters during the day and went to wood forest town in the afternoon to buy supplies. Now he recalled that he had not eaten for almost a day.

“Ha… I forgot about it after being busy. Let's go and eat something to fill our stomachs first.” Lugh rubbed his forehead with one hand and said with a bitter smile after rubbing his glabella.

After placing the jar containing the devouring Green Silkworm Moth into the warehouse, Lugh went to boil water to cook. Besides filling his stomachs, he also made a nice dinner for Gary who was lying in bed.

“Let's do it again. Bloody Claw!” The young man's bright voice rang out.

Swoosh!

Blood-red claw-like marks flashed in the air. There was a faint green glow in the claw marks as it suddenly clawed at a huge rock that was much taller than a person.

Dang!

The sound of metal colliding with blunt objects could be heard.

The huge rock was left with a few claw marks that were five centimeters long. Other than the blood aura, there was also a faint green liquid that was slowly corroding the rock.

The huge rock was already covered with claw marks. It was obvious that these were the marks left by the continuous use of claw-type source skills.

“That's right. After being soaked in the special venom last night, the insect claw has started to turn into a poisonous insect claw. The Bloody Claw already has a certain amount of poison.”

The young man who spoke was Lugh. Looking at the corrosive poison on the rock, he revealed a faint smile. He was obviously very satisfied with this result.

“Roar…” Big Mouth growled.

“Bear with it, Big Mouth. When your hook claws have all turned into poisonous insect claws, you'll get used to it. At that time, your strength will rise to a whole new level.”

Lugh consoled Big Mouth, who was complaining about the discomfort of the hook claws.

The body parts of a source beast were the source beast's most basic weapons, such as claws, teeth, eyes, and even its tail. The hardness of these parts, or the poison contained in them, could give the source beast a powerful fighting strength.

Beast Masters could continue to strengthen or upgrade the source beast's main parts through medicine, enchantment, equipment, and other means. The hook claw of Big Mouth was the most basic type of insect claw, while the poisonous insect claw was of the middle level among the insect claws.

Yesterday, when they were buying poison dissolving ginseng in Musen Town, they saw the poison-type source beasts beside the other Beast Masters, and they had a sudden idea. They wanted to nurture their attributes so that Big Mouth had the poison attribute.

Unlike the attributes of dragons and insects, the poison attribute was purely an elemental attribute. There were a lot of source techniques for elemental attributes, and they were both strange and powerful.

It just so happened that Big Mouth, who had the poison attribute, could solve the problem of its attack style being too simple and open-minded.

Originally, it wasn't easy to cultivate elements like wind, fire, thunder, and water. It required a source beast to have a certain degree of compatibility with the attributes. On the other hand, Big Mouth was a dragon-type source beast that had excellent compatibility with the elements. It was the most suitable for cultivating new attributes.

Poison attribute was also the cheapest and easiest to master among the elements. It was the attribute that was the easiest to quickly develop into combat strength. Without any hesitation, Lugh chose to cultivate the poison attribute for Big Mouth.

As the cultivation of attributes required slowly adapting step by step, Lugh did not use high-level poison attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures at the beginning. Otherwise, if he did not cultivate the poison attribute and let Big Mouth suffer the backlash of the poison, it would not be beautiful.
