Chapter 338: Night Battle

After charging up for almost two seconds, the Shadow Wolf directly shot the dark energy ball towards its mouth.

“Shadow Bullet!”

By condensing the dark attribute source energy into a ball-shaped energy body, it carried out a long-distance attack. The enemy that was hit would be heavily injured by the dark attribute energy in the shadow bullet.

‘Shadow Bullet’ was a move that could only be executed if one had a certain level of attainments in the dark attribute of the elemental attribute.

The range of the Shadow Bullet was medium, and its power was strong. The only drawback was that it required a certain amount of time to gather energy.

“Dodge. Don’t block this move.” Seeing Big Mouth preparing to block the Shadow Bullet with his toes, Lugh gave the order in a low voice. At the same time, Lugh’s figure also quickly retreated.

After Big Mouth heard Lugh’s order, it did not hesitate but trusted Lugh’s judgment. It directly dodged the Shadow Bullet sideways.

“Condense!”

Just as Big Mouth dodged the Shadow Bullet, the Shadow Bullet hit a tree that required three people to hug it.

Following a strange sound, the Shadow Bullet that hit the tree quickly grew bigger. It turned into a large black ball with a diameter of 1.5 meters before it stopped changing.

The enlarged Shadow Bullet lasted for two seconds before it dissipated. The tree trunk that was enveloped by the Shadow Bullet was blasted open, leaving a huge hole. The original wood pieces were destroyed by the dark elemental ability.

From this, it could be seen how tyrannical the Shadow Bullet was.

The high power of the Shadow Bullet was within Lugh’s expectations. When Big Mouth saw this scene, its body trembled. It was clearly somewhat shocked that the Shadow Bullet had such power.

At this moment, the Shadow Wolf could once again send a second Shadow Bullet towards the mouth.

Helplessly, Big Mouth could only turn sideways to dodge the opponent’s attack. However, if he continued to dodge, it would eventually reveal a flaw.

After Big Mouth dodged four more Shadow Bullets, the fifth Shadow Bullet successfully injured Big Mouth.

Although it was an attack with a bit of dark attribute energy, it still tore open Big Mouth’s unhealed bug armor gap.

The wound under the bug armor gap was a bit horrifying, and it was not far from the flesh opening.

The furious Big Mouth was ready to rush forward and tear this hateful Shadow Wolf into pieces.

However, he was stopped by Lugh’s order.

“Don’t get close. Use the terrain of the forest to dodge the attack. Try to stay as far away from the open space as much as possible. It won’t be able to maintain this attack frequency for long.” Lugh, who had been hiding in a safer place, calmly used his source energy to convey the order to Big Mouth.

After Big Mouth heard the order, it began to use the trees commonly seen in the forest to avoid the Shadow Bullets of the Shadow Wolf. After the long-range methods of the Shadow Wolf were no longer effective in suppressing them, it dispersed the dark attribute source energy in its mouth. It quickly approached the position where Big Mouth was hiding.

After standing for a long time, the Shadow Wolf, who was eager to kill Big Mouth, made a mistake.

That was, when fighting, one must not be impatient.

If one was impatient, then a large number of flaws would be exposed.

And the Shadow Wolf had also revealed such a flaw. Because of its fast speed, it was unable to adjust its posture in mid-air.

Big Mouth suddenly appeared from behind a large tree. It waved its claws and used its bloody claws to attack again.

The Shadow Wolf wasn’t able to dodge in time. Although it used its Shadow Strike to dodge the attack, it was still unable to dodge in time.

However, it still left a few deep bloody wounds on its body.

Under Lugh’s command, Big Mouth’s battle rhythm was maintained very well. The Beast Master’s mission was to control the battlefield, and the task of charging into battle was handed over to the source beast to carry out.

A qualified Beast Master was definitely an excellent commander.

There was no need to do everything meticulously and personally.

All they needed to do was make the correct judgment and tactical command at the crucial moment.

Apart from nurturing source beasts, commanding on the battlefield was the most important job of a Beast Master.

After repelling the Shadow Wolf’s command, Big Mouth extended a claw from its toe and hooked it at the Shadow Wolf, making a provocative gesture.

It made a gesture of looking down on the Shadow Wolf.

“Hehe, this guy…” After seeing Big Mouth’s behavior, the corner of Lugh’s mouth rose slightly.

An inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes.

During the day when he was searching for medicinal herbs to cure Big Mouth, Lugh was also continuously teaching Big Mouth some shallow tactical thinking, hoping that with the accumulation of time, Big Mouth’s combat level would be raised from shallow to deep.

And Professor Lugh’s combat thinking was called the taunt tactic.

As the name implied, it was a tactic to provoke the opponent through actions or words.

It was a tactic to make the opponent lose part of their ability to think because of anger, and finally reveal a flaw.

And Big Mouth’s provocative tactic was a teaching method that he learned from Lugh’s tactical thinking.

“Smart guy, you learn really fast.” Seeing this, Lugh was a little amused and praised Big Mouth in his heart.

As expected.

This kind of crude tactic caused the Shadow Wolf, who was also extremely proud, to enter a state of fury. A trace of blood-red flashed in the Shadow Wolf’s dark green pupils.

After big mouth provoked it, the Shadow Wolf’s body instantly gathered a decent amount of source energy. Following a low roar, the Shadow Wolf underwent a change.

The Shadow Wolf’s body was surrounded by a few tiny blood mist. Its eyes were also emitting a dark green light, and were also covered by a scarlet color.

Its fur was like an enraged cat-type source beast, and its fangs and sharp claws had become long and sharp.

Its originally small body was now a little stronger.

“Bloodthirsty Frenzy.” Lugh peeked out from behind a tree in the distance and observed. With a glance, he saw the Shadow Wolf surrounded by a red blood mist in the dark night.

[Bloodthirsty Frenzy: At the cost of sacrificing most of your rationality, you can gain powerful strength for a short period of time. You will not be affected by pain or fear, allowing the user to become more valiant and skilled in battle. After a period of time, you will fall into a weakened state.]

“As expected, you are enraged. It’s really easy to understand.” The corner of Lugh’s mouth rose slightly.

Not only was Lugh not worried about the Shadow Wolf’s enhanced state, but he also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the Shadow Wolf had used an enhanced skill to enhance itself, it was still not that difficult to deal with Big Mouth.

Even though the Shadow Wolf had strengthened its body and tried to fight Big Mouth as quickly as possible, it had sacrificed most of its rationality. Since it was already heavily injured by Big Mouth’s Bloody Claw, he only needed Big Mouth to defend itself through this difficult period.

By the time the effect of its Bloodthirsty Frenzy had passed, the weakened state that it had brought was already fatal enough.

At this moment, Lugh did not intentionally tell Big Mouth. Instead, he secretly observed how his source beast would deal with the situation in front of him.

Big Mouth did not disappoint Lugh. Although it did not understand the details of the Shadow Wolf’s skills, it could sense that the other party’s strength had increased. Moreover, this increase seemed to have quite a few side effects.

Big Mouth abandoned its opponent and turned around to run towards the dense area of the trees. A hint of doubt flashed in the blood-red eyes of the Shadow Wolf. However, that doubt was quickly eroded by the fury and killing intent.

“Awooo!” The Shadow Wolf let out a sharp wolf howl and charged over with all four limbs.

Its eyes were filled with killing intent as it charged towards Big Mouth.

After the ‘Bloodthirsty Frenzy’, the Shadow Wolf’s body instantly became strong and sturdy. Its running speed was very fast. Its front claws slapped the fallen leaves on the ground. In the next instant, it was cut into several pieces by the wind caused by the passing body.

The speed talent of a race like the Wyvern was considered very outstanding among Gold-tier source beasts. However, the Shadow Wolf was still able to catch up to it.

After all, there was still quite a big gap between the strength levels of both parties.

Finally, the Shadow Wolf ran less than five meters behind Big Mouth. It only needed a moment to use its sharp fangs to directly bite the flesh and blood of the worm in front of it.

Just as the Big Mouth was about to be caught, it suddenly turned around and bypassed a huge tree. The Shadow Wolf followed closely behind.

“Swoosh!”

Just as the Shadow Wolf followed Big Mouth around the huge tree, three scarlet bloody claw marks suddenly appeared in front of the Shadow Wolf. It did not give the Shadow Wolf time to dodge and attacked its face.

It turned around and dug!

When the Shadow Wolf was five meters away from Big Mouth, it had already entered the visual range of Big Mouth’s insect race compound eyes.

Big Mouth’s compound eyes had a visual range of exactly five meters in the dark.

Under the premise of close observation, after Big Mouth changed directions and used the giant tree to block the opponent’s vision, it suddenly turned around and used its Bloody Claw with all its strength.

Under the unintentional calculation, even the strengthened body of the Shadow Wolf could not dodge this attack. However, after the Bloodthirsty Frenzy, the Shadow Wolf’s instinct and reaction to danger had also been improved. Although it barely dodged the fate of being torn apart, it was still heavily injured.

The Bloody Claw slashed across the Shadow Wolf’s right eye. The ear and neck were both damaged by the Bloody Claw. The right eye was blinded, the ear was cut off, and the neck bled a lot.

Big Mouth once again injured the Shadow Wolf.

Calm decisiveness was already rare in a source beast’s wisdom.
