Looking at the somewhat neurotic Owen, Su Lu had to use the Language of Arrogance again to restore some calm in him.
âIf that dried up well was really suddenly created, invoking mysteryâŠphysical filling methods probably wonât work. They could even provoke certain entities, leading to more horrifying dangerâŠâ
Su Lu analyzed for Owen, âI can give you a few suggestions. FirstâŠmove out.â
âOf course, I will never dare to go back.â Owen repeatedly nodded.
âThenâŠyou need to go to the police station or if you have connections, directly seek help from the Eleventh Bureau⊠Finally, donate an amount of money to the local Goddess of Light church, and hope to spend the night there, or let the bishop conduct a Purification Ritual for you.â
Su Lu calmly narrated.
âWill this solve the problem?â Owen asked further.
âIf it is just a general supernatural eventâŠâ Su Lu nodded.
âYou must save me, you are a Mysterious Person!â Owen looked at Su Lu in desperation.
âNo, I am justâŠa hobbyist of mystery studies.â
Su Lu shrugged.
Rashly getting involved in an unexpected mystery event is a big taboo for any Transcendent.
Moreover, his relationship with Owen reached its limit in helping him here, he was still busy with his own affairs.
Su Lu would never admit that he secretly envied Owenâs laid-back lifestyle.
âHmmâŠAs a tenant, I will report your situation directly to the Eleventh Bureau. I believe they will take priority in handling itâŠperfect!â
This isnât Su Lu being cold-blooded.
But rather in view of a âcurseâ in his dream.
If this is a supernatural event, it could very likely involve an existence of the Sinister Spirit level!
They mostly possess various bizarre and terrifying abilities, when ordinary people encounter them, they can only eternally despair.
âŠ
East of Lore City, the great swamp.
Su Lu changed into a set of hunting attire, carrying a hunting rifle on his back. Beside him was Margaret dressed in hunting gear, wearing deer leather boots.
The girlâs expression was somewhat heavy, as she seemed to still be reflecting on Owenâs previous helpless situation.
Even Hallockâs various performances couldnât soften her expression a little bit.
âStill thinking about what happened earlier?â
Su Lu raised his rifle, aimed it at a bird not far away, but didnât pull the trigger.
âYesâŠI realise how dangerous the Mysterious World is, I probably understand why my grandfather never visited usâŠâ Margaret answered with a wry smile.
âBut⊠you didnât choose to give up.â
Su Lu chuckled, âOnce Owenâs incident is over, Iâll give you what you want, as a reward for your persistenceâŠâ
âThank you, Mr. Sean, are we prepared to huntâŠmagical creatures?â
Margaret looked around her surroundings and involuntarily shivered.
âYes, itâs called âChikutalâ, having the wisdom and cunning brutality of a human child, and is highly vigilantâŠâ
This was the information provided by the âSaintessâ. In recent times, the latter had been roaming around the nearby regions and there were records of it attacking farms and livestock.
âSoâŠwhat should we do?â Margaret asked out of curiosity, regarding herself as an apprentice.
âVery simpleâŠfind its activity area, create a trap, prepare a baitâŠâ
Su Lu casually replied without looking back.
âTrap and bait?â
Margaret looked at herself, then looked at the innocent-faced husky, her face changed: âSir⊠heheâŠYou saidâŠChikutal likes fresh flesh? Especially those with spirituality?â
âYes, thatâs why it likes to attack humans!â
Su Lu laughed, showing his white teeth: âButâŠmy bait isâŠhim! In some waysâŠyouâre not as good as a dog!â
He pointed at Hallock.
The spirituality of a transcendent being is certainly much higher than that of an ordinary person.
âNot as good as a dog!â
âNot as good as a dog!â
âDog!â
Margaret felt a bit dizzy in her head. She heard many derogatory words in her life, but none of them made her feel as conflicted as this one.
âI am not as good as a dog, seems to be a fact, Hallock is really powerful, possesses transcendent strength!â
âBecause of this, I donât have to be the bait, this feelingâŠis so complicatedâŠâ
âWoo wooâŠâ
Hallock was shocked. It understood Su Luâs words, it wanted to escape but it was too late.
Su Lu grabbed the dog leash: âHallockâŠbe brave, if we succeed this time, I will leave Lore City earlier, and you can return to your master Isaac.â
Hallock lifted its head as if thinking and then turned around in a circle.
Well, in order to return to its real master as soon as possible and to get away from this devil, itâs determined to fight.
If it won, its dog life would have no regrets!
âŠ
Late at night.
A huge moon hung in mid-air, it seemed to carry a hint of crimson.
Under the moonlight.
A woman came on her own to the outskirts of the wilderness, outside the swamp area. She built a âsacrificial altarâ using spiritual materials.
In the center of the altar, a husky was tied up, posed in the shape of a tree trunk, its dog face full of helplessness.
âShâŠShawn sir⊠what should I do next?â
Margaret glanced around, her heart full of fear.
âWait a moment, except for chanting the spell, donât open your mouthâŠâ
A meticulous voice suddenly entered her ear: âIâm right beside you, donât be scared! Now⊠light the incense!â
At his direction, Margaret, trembling with fear, lit some incense and dripped in the dew, creating a rich and sweet smell.
This indeed belonged to a certain ritual. In ancient times, âwitchesâ liked to summon magical creatures wandering in the wild and signed a contract with them.
Su Lu made a slight modification to it, ordinary people could also operate it, the cost was just more consumption of spiritual materials.
Moreover, the burning incense and the materials used lean towards flesh and blood, ensuring that it wouldnât attract âFlower Fairiesâ and other plant-based elves, but would have a high probability of summoning Chikutal â if it was nearby.
Roar!
The fire burned continuously, the aroma was diffused, making Margaret unconsciously swallow her saliva.
A few meters away from her, one could hear rustling sounds. Those were the sounds of creatures in the swamp being attracted here. At this moment, they were repelled by a force.
âNext, chant the spell following me.â
Su Lu guided Margaret, chanting in Ancient Hebrew:
âIn my nameâŠâ
âSummon the transcendent creature that loves flesh and blood, wandering in the swampâŠâ
âBorrow me your power, I will return everything you desireâŠâ
The womanâs awkward voice kept looping in the night swamp.
Clip-clop! Clip-Clop!
After an unknown period of time, when the fuel was about to burn out, Margaret suddenly heard horse hooves.
She looked towards the source of the sound and covered her mouth unconsciously.
It was a horse-like creature, with four claws, blood-red, and it seemed to navigate the terrifying swamp effortlessly.
