My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 149 - 149: Scam Encounter?

Lucas paused mid way, trying to understand what Spot was trying to convey to him.

Lucas tilted his head, in confusion.

Spot's bark was a warning.

Not to the old man, but to him.

'Spot doesn't want me to buy this item?'

Knowing that Spot would not do him harm, Lucas had always put his trust on him.

'Could this actually be… a scam?'

Retracting his hand, Lucas looked at the old man warily, but chose not to expose him.

He knew that even if he exposed this old man, it would do nothing except stop him from doing the scam for a few days.

For him to be able to set up a stall here without getting shooed away by other stall owners, meant that this old man has some background.

Lucas did not want to entangle himself with such troubles.

Looking around, he finally realized why none of the people around decided to approach the old man's stall.

From the looks of it, this was indeed not a fortuitous encounter but a well made scam targeting people like him.

Looking at the array of items displayed below, Lucas no longer felt impressed, and looked at them just like their real value.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Lucas turned around and ignored the old man and his smile.

Seeing him turn around, the old man hurriedly called him back.

"Young one, try your luck? Just five Silver Coins for this magnificent ordinary rock, what do you think?"

Lucas ignored the antics of the old man and proceeded to the next stall without hesitation.

As he walked away, Lucas twitched the corner of his mouth as he heard the discussions of the people around.

"Wow, I thought that old man would be able to scam someone once again."

"Shh! Lower your voice. It's not a scam!"

"Yes. Yes. It's not a scam. Totally!"

Arriving at the next stall, Lucas took a glance at the old man one more time.

The old man did not even bother looking at him after he left.

Meanwhile, another youth, casually looking around, got the old man's attention as well.

The old man looked at the youth, and stated, "Young one, do you believe in fate?"

Lucas turned his head away without hesitation.

Sometime later, Lucas finally arrived at the stall that sells the plant that he was

After he received the five vials of Ember Fang blood, Lucas did not linger in the area anymore and proceeded to go to buy some more in the next few stalls.

Lucas was already aware of what he was going to buy when he came here.

Soon enough, he had already bought a total of seven different items, not totaling more than 100 Gold Coins.

Of all the items he bought, only the blood of Ember Fang beast was quite expensive.

Five of the items he just bought were for Spot while the remaining two were intended for Tony.

None of them was huge either, so Lucas could easily place them inside his newly bought bag.

Unfortunately, Lucas did not see some of the items that he has been eyeing on.

This was not the only market in Serene City anyway. He planned to visit the other market and check them out when he had the time.

For now, Lucas decided to call it a day.

Returning to where he came from, Lucas soon hailed a beast taxi that was waiting for any willing passengers outside of Sander Street.

A few minutes later, Lucas walked inside his home.

Heaving a sigh of relief since nothing untoward has happened, he decided to meditate and recover his energy first.

Now that he has obtained the basic materials that he needs, he does not want to waste time anymore.

First things first, he needed to prepare a bath for Spot.

A bath with the blood of Ember Fang beast as bubbling shampoo.

After he was done meditating and recovered his energy to full, Lucas immediately opened his eyes and sprung into action.

The first thing he did was to get the large basin that was included in the house.

He then filled the basin with hot water, allowing only a small margin before it overflowed.

Lucas then took out one of the vials containing the blood of an Ember Fang beast.

He uncorked the vial and before the strong smell of blood could waft to his nose, Lucas immediately dropped the entire vial under the basin.

Bubbles rose up, while a hint of red slowly spread to the clear water inside the basin. The clear water turned to a pinkish hue, and all the way to the color of blood.

The blood of a Silver Grade beast was indeed potent.

This information and preparatory work to have the best experience during the process was also obtained in the same source.

Lucas allowed the mixture to rest before he took Spot and allowed him to stay near the basin.

He then explained his plan to Spot, in which he only received a 'woof' and a Gentle Gaze as a reply.

Anyway, after letting the mixture simmer for a few minutes, and saw that the shade of red no longer changed, he immediately realized that the preparation was ready.

Lucas smiled at Spot and asked, "Ready?"

Although he was not aware of what was going to happen next, Spot still replied with a woof, before jumping directly inside the basin.
