“Relax!”

Looking at the somewhat neurotic Owen, Su Lu had to use the Language of Arrogance again to restore some calm in him.

“If that dried up well was really suddenly created, invoking mystery…physical filling methods probably won’t work. They could even provoke certain entities, leading to more horrifying danger…”

Su Lu analyzed for Owen, “I can give you a few suggestions. First…move out.”

“Of course, I will never dare to go back.” Owen repeatedly nodded.

“Then…you 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.”

Su Lu calmly narrated.

“Will this solve the problem?” Owen asked further.

“If it is just a general supernatural event…” Su Lu nodded.

“You must save me, you are a Mysterious Person!” Owen looked at Su Lu in desperation.

“No, I am just…a hobbyist of mystery studies.”

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 Owen’s laid-back lifestyle.

‘Hmm…As a tenant, I will report your situation directly to the Eleventh Bureau. I believe they will take priority in handling it…perfect!’

This isn’t Su Lu being cold-blooded.

But rather in view of a ‘curse’ 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.

…

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 girl’s expression was somewhat heavy, as she seemed to still be reflecting on Owen’s previous helpless situation.

Even Hallock’s various performances couldn’t soften her expression a little bit.

“Still thinking about what happened earlier?”

Su Lu raised his rifle, aimed it at a bird not far away, but didn’t pull the trigger.

“Yes…I realise how dangerous the Mysterious World is, I probably understand why my grandfather never visited us…” Margaret answered with a wry smile.

“But… you didn’t choose to give up.”

Su Lu chuckled, “Once Owen’s incident is over, I’ll give you what you want, as a reward for your persistence…”

“Thank you, Mr. Sean, are we prepared to hunt…magical creatures?”

Margaret looked around her surroundings and involuntarily shivered.

“Yes, it’s called ‘Chikutal’, having the wisdom and cunning brutality of a human child, and is highly vigilant…”

This was the information provided by the ‘Saintess’. In recent times, the latter had been roaming around the nearby regions and there were records of it attacking farms and livestock.

“So…what should we do?” Margaret asked out of curiosity, regarding herself as an apprentice.

“Very simple…find its activity area, create a trap, prepare a bait…”

Su Lu casually replied without looking back.

“Trap and bait?”

Margaret looked at herself, then looked at the innocent-faced husky, her face changed: “Sir… hehe…You said…Chikutal likes fresh flesh? Especially those with spirituality?”

“Yes, that’s why it likes to attack humans!”

Su Lu laughed, showing his white teeth: “But…my bait is…him! In some ways…you’re not as good as a dog!”

He pointed at Hallock.

The spirituality of a transcendent being is certainly much higher than that of an ordinary person.

‘Not as good as a dog!’

‘Not as good as a dog!’

‘Dog!’

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.

‘I am not as good as a dog, seems to be a fact, Hallock is really powerful, possesses transcendent strength!’

‘Because of this, I don’t have to be the bait, this feeling…is so complicated…’

“Woo woo…”

Hallock was shocked. It understood Su Lu’s words, it wanted to escape but it was too late.

Su Lu grabbed the dog leash: “Hallock…be brave, if we succeed this time, I will leave Lore City earlier, and you can return to your master Isaac.”

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, it’s determined to fight.

If it won, its dog life would have no regrets!

…

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 ‘sacrificial altar’ 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.

“Sh…Shawn sir… what should I do next?”

Margaret glanced around, her heart full of fear.

“Wait a moment, except for chanting the spell, don’t open your mouth…”

A meticulous voice suddenly entered her ear: “I’m right beside you, don’t be scared! Now… light the incense!”

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, ‘witches’ 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 wouldn’t attract ‘Flower Fairies’ and other plant-based elves, but would have a high probability of summoning Chikutal – 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.

“Next, chant the spell following me.”

Su Lu guided Margaret, chanting in Ancient Hebrew:

“In my name…”

“Summon the transcendent creature that loves flesh and blood, wandering in the swamp…”

“Borrow me your power, I will return everything you desire…”

The woman’s 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.
