BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1211 Not Too Big
Lu An slapped the guide\'s head, "We are not asking your opinion about that. Just tell us what you know about the Lycanthrope."
The guide shook his head, "We don\'t know anything about them. We hide from them because only one out of twenty people can escape from the Lycanthrope. We are just food, prey in their eyes. They are faster and stronger than us." They did not know much about Lycanthrope. They tried to fight the Lycanthrope, but it ended with their people becoming food for the monster. Ever since they stopped fighting the monster and have been hiding from the monster. The people in the settlement did not know much about the Lycanthrope.
"Tch," Lu An clicked his tongue, "You and your people are afraid of Lycanthrope yet still dreaming of capturing us? There\'s something wrong in your head."
"I have no choice!" The guide turned around and snapped at Lu An, "Do you think I joined them because I want to get out of the tower? NO! We join them because we want to fill our bellies. Most of us join them because we want to survive! That\'s the only way for us to survive in this place! Do you think we have—"
Tang Shaoyang flicked his finger, sending a blunt bullet made of Heavenly Energy. It hit directly to the guide\'s belly, pushing him into the air slightly before falling on his knees, "I am here not to listen to your rant. Do you understand?" He could argue the same. The Game forced him to fight and kill people, but it was a pointless argument. He made the choice, and he would live up to his choice.
The guide was shocked as he did not see what happened to him. He could not see what hit him, and he realized that the player was as scary as the Lycanthrope. Fear struck him as the realization hit him, nodding his head furiously, forcing himself to get on his feet, leading the players to the home of Lycanthrope.
By the time they arrived at Andure Vale, the sun was set and the moon lightened up the sky. The guide stopped at the edge of the cliff, pointing at the path down further, "You will reach the home of the Lycanthrope if you follow the path. It\'s around 4 km away from here. I can only lead you here, more than this, I will be just a burden for you. I don\'t think you need a burden when you fight the Lycanthrope."
"That\'s for us to decide, and we decide you have to follow us. We still need you to lead us to Weretorn Valley then to the Death Forest before to the Guardian Peak," Lu An confronted the terrified guard with a smile, "We don\'t have time to waste here, so continue to lead us." He pointed at the path, telling the terrified man to lead them.
"Talking about choice, you don\'t have a choice this time either. Die in my hand or lead us to the home of Lycanthrope and maybe a slight chance to survive?"
The man believed it was not an empty threat. He would really die if he stopped here. Refusing to lead them further would cost his life, zero percent of survival. But if he followed them, he had a narrow chance to survive. He might have had a chance to make an escape while the Lycanthrope feasted on the players.
"It seems Lycanthrope has a sharp nose. They are coming for us, get ready to fight," Tang Shaoyang noticed dozens of Lycanthropes, moving between the trees, coming toward his direction. He held Lu An before the young assassin could move, "Let your Sister Rosa take care of this wave. We can use her fire to pull all the Lycanthrope toward us instead of looking for them."
Rosalie approached the cliff, looking down. She did not have the same eyes as Tang Shaoyang, but she could see the movement behind the tree from below. She turned around, "So we need a big fire? How big are we talking about?"
"The bigger the better, no?" Lu An smiled.
"Don\'t…. Not too big. It might scare them away if it\'s too big," Tang Shaoyang immediately stopped Rosalie from doing something crazy, "Just big enough to make them come."
Meanwhile, the guide was confused with the conversation, confused and also curious. Soon he found out how the red-haired woman made the fire.
Lava shot up from the bottom of the cliff, shot up to the sky. The fierce heat wave hit his face and the guide was so scared by the sudden burst. His legs went weak as he fell on his butt, looking up at the pillar of lava in the sky. His eyes widened in fear as he realized the lava might fall on him. However, he did not have the energy to get up and run from this place. He was too scared to move.
Soon he realized the lava did not fall on him, in fact, there was not a single drop of lava falling to his side. All the lava fell on the slope which was followed by the fearsome howling. He recognized the howl, the Lycanthrope\'s howl. Realizing he was safe, gave him the courage to stand up and look at the pillar of lava. His curiosity had been answered, this was the fire they were talking about. It was as if the red-haired woman drew the lava from Earth and moved it on her own.
For some reason, he wanted to come closer, wanting to look at the bottom of the cliff. But a hand pulled him over when he took the first step. It was the leader of the three, "Do you want to die or what?"
"I don\'t care if you want to die, but not now. After you lead us to Guardian Peak, you can die then," Tang Shaoyang noticed that the man\'s skin started to scald when the guide tried to get closer. That was why he pulled the guide over. He did not care if the man died, but he did not want to go back to get another guide for sure.
"I let three Lycanthropes leave," Rosalie glanced at the guide for a moment, then she looked at Tang Shaoyang, waiting for further instruction.
"We can wait, but I don\'t like waiting. Let\'s go down and meet them in their territory. That might give them more courage to hunt us down," Tang Shaoyang picked up the guide, forming a barrier with his Heavenly Energy for the guide, "Lead us to their home."
The guide nodded his head furiously, getting back on his feet quicker than before, leading them to the path. He could no longer feel the heat even though he got closer to the pillar of lava. Once he got closer to the edge, he could not help but look down at the cliff. It looked like the lava was drawn out from the earth, but he was not sure about it. Maybe the woman created the lava, but he knew one thing for sure, the players were above his level. He came to another realization, it might be too stupid of him to think of capturing the players.
Tang Shaoyang pointed at the pillar of lava as he followed the guide, "It\'s still too big, but amazing. This guy was entranced by your fire and almost killed himself. Maybe you can use your fire to create a cult here," He joked about it.
