My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 154 - 154: Self-Amputating Lizard

Six bodies and severed heads of Dwarf Swine were presented in front of her.

If she would not be satisfied with such a harvest, then there was nothing that could satisfy her in this world.

Lucas, on the other hand, did not think of this as something impressive.

By the number of beasts he killed during his journey before he found Shelsea and the others, his kill count was already above a hundred.

After Amara recovered from her jubilation, they weighed all six of the Dwarf Swine including their head with the help of her summoned beast.

A beast that was able to lift heavy weights easily.

The Tiny Elephant!

One casual look and Lucas knew that the Tiny Elephant was no simple beast.

Even Spot took a few glances at it while Shadow, who had now hidden behind him once again felt wary and afraid toward the Tiny Elephant.

Although called Tiny Elephant, this beast was actually not that tiny.

It was even taller than Lucas without counting its trunk. Its body was even wider than sedan cars in his previous life.

As for the reason why it was called as such, this was because compared to other elephant beasts, this variant could naturally be considered small, just like how the Dwarf Swine was called so because they were the tiniest variant of their species.

The Tiny Elephant's trunk easily loaded the bodies of the Dwarf Swine toward the weighing scale.

After it put the severed heads, Amara came over to take note of the numbers displayed on it.

"There's a total of 378 kilograms in there including their heads. I'll round it off for you to a total of 390 kilograms as I can see that the quality of meat is high. With 6 Gold Coins per kilo, that's 2340 Gold Coins."

Lucas nodded his head and did not haggle about the buying price.

They returned inside her shop as he began counting one Gold Coins after the other.

After a while, she handed a pouch to Lucas containing all the Gold Coins she just counted.

Lucas took it gratefully, feeling the weight of the Gold Coins in his hands made him happy. Though, he realized the shortcomings of physical currency, specially in an underdeveloped city like this where they lack notes or denominations with greater value than a Gold Coin.

Anyway, after Lucas kept the pouch under his shirt, they finally talked about the contract and terms of the store toward a 'hunter' like him.

Since he has already passed the 'task', he could now be considered as a 'hunter' of Amara's Meat Store, just lacking the official contract.

Being the owner, it was especially easy for Amara to create one.

Normally, to a new hunter like Lucas, what she should have offered should be the most basic treatment.

However, knowing that Lucas was quite extraordinary and with his 'group' behind him, she did not dare to underestimate Lucas and decided to increase the benefits. This way, she would be able to tie Lucas and his group down to her shop, and they won't try to

Although part of the contract stated that he could no longer sell any of his hunted beast to others, Lucas actually did not consider this as a problem as he did not plan to go around and personally sell his games to others directly anyway.

And besides, Amara's Meat Shop only buys the meat of the beasts. If there were any valuable material in the beast, Lucas could harvest it for himself and sell it to other shops that deal with such items.

Lucas accepted the terms and conditions and signed the contract with Amara.

After he did so, Amara tossed a thumb-sized badge toward him.

According to her, this could be considered his identity card, and a way to prove that he was a hunter of her shop, should he need to prove it to anyone in the future.

After keeping the badge, Lucas borrowed the book directly and left her store and decided to hail a beast taxi to return home. The exclusive chauffeur will be available tomorrow and they will meet here in her shop tomorrow to get familiar with each other.

It has been a long day, and Lucas was already a little tired.

It was already dusk when he arrived at his house.

He took out some Silver Cow meat and decided to sear it for his dinner.

While he was cooking, Lucas began reading the book of edible beasts to increase his knowledge about edible beasts around Serene City.

The book did not only contain information about wild beasts. There were also contracted beasts that have been recorded like the Self-Amputating Lizard.

This contracted beast has the ability to amputate its own tail and grow an entirely new one in a matter of seconds.

Due to this peculiar ability, the owner decided to sell the tail to exotic food enthusiasts and it quickly grew in popularity.

Right now, the price of a Self-Amputating Lizard's tail was actually as high as 20 Gold Coins.

Over the years, the Self-Amputating Lizard's have already grown to Iron Grade-Iron Star 5.

According to the reviews, like a fine wine, the tail of the lizard has actually grown tastier the more it self-amputates its tail and grows a new one.

This was because everytime it grew a new tail, it would always be slightly stronger than the one it just severed. Due to this, it was even rumored that the Self-Amputating Lizard has actually gained a skill related to it, allowing its rank to increase in the process.

It was in the prediction of the exotic food experts that the price of this exclusive and exotic food would continue to rise in the future.

Lucas did not know what to say about such a peculiar taste.

However, considering what he had eaten in the wild, and the almost rotting flesh that he endured to eat, perhaps, eating a lizard's tail would not be unbearable.

Thinking of that, Lucas actually entertained the idea of buying one of that lizard's tail to taste it for himself.

That idea could only be realized in the future, though.

Continuing to read, Lucas realized that not only him, even others would eat almost anything.

For him, it was out for survival, but for others, it was just one of their unique tastes.

Such taste did not have to be mentioned as even Lucas was disgusted just thinking about it.

Now, the smell of the seared Silver Cow entered his nose.

After seeing that it was already ready, Lucas summoned Tony, gave him some leaves, and along with Spot and Shadow, the summoner and his contracted beast began to eat a hearty meal.
