Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2768 Camp South Master Was Doubtful

"Camp South Master, it's true that only less than four hundred beasts were attracted. I suspect that because there were lesser wild beasts near that road, fewer were drawn."

Camp South Master nodded thoughtfully.

The number of wild beasts attracted by a Heavenly Spirit Stone is determined by a variety of factors. If there were fewer wild beasts nearby, it would be reasonable to attract less than four hundred wild beasts.

Camp South Master sighed. "Four hundred wild beasts are not nearly enough. There's still a huge gap until a thousand wild beasts. This won't do. I'll have to ask Sunshade to throw some more Heavenly Spirit Stones over. All right, Maulwurf. You can go back and continue to keep an eye on Zeke."

"Okay." Maulwurf turned to leave.

Camp South Master suddenly recalled something and quickly called out to him, "Wait a minute, Maulwurf."

Maulwurf turned around. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Camp South Master?"

"Have you refined the spirit pill I gave you last time?"

Maulwurf nodded. "Yes, it's been refined. Thank you for your concern, Camp South Master."

"How's the effect of the spirit pill? You were only one step away from Legatus before. You should have joined Legatus after refining the spirit pill."

Maulwurf replied, "Thanks to you, Camp South Master, I am now a Legatus warrior."

Is that so?

Camp South Master stretched out his hand to grasp Maulwurf's shoulder and carefully examined his body.

As expected, he has the energy of a Legatus warrior flowing through his body.

Camp South Master smiled. "Congratulations. All right, you can leave now."

"Okay." Maulwurf left with a smile.

Maulwurf discovered that his clothes were soaked in cold sweats after leaving Camp South.

He knew that Camp South Master was testing him when he asked him about his strength.

Camp South Master must have suspected that he had submitted to Zeke and that the spirit pill had been given to Zeke. Maulwurf would not have advanced to the rank of Legatus if he had not refined the spirit pill.

Fortunately, Mr. Williams anticipated this long ago, so he guided me and assisted me in advancing to the Legatus rank. As expected of a commander-level warrior, Mr. Williams must've thought it through.

Maulwurf sighed inwardly and accelerated his pace.

Meanwhile, Camp South Master snapped his fingers after Maulwurf left. "Come forth, Sunshade!"

Sunshade, who had been hiding in a dark corner of the room, appeared and knelt in front of Camp South Master. "Master, what can I do for you?"

"Go to the path that Zeke has taken and count the wild beasts that he has slaughtered. I want you to confirm whether Maulwurf was telling the truth when he said Zeke had only killed four hundred wild beasts," Camp South Master ordered.

Sunshade asked curiously, "Are you suspicious of Maulwurf, Master? Was there something wrong with his strength when you checked him just now?"

Camp South Master took a deep breath and said, "I discovered that the energy in Maulwurf's body was extremely dense just now. If it was caused by refining the spirit pill, his body's energy should not have been able to reach this concentration.

"I am convinced that Maulwurf has been guided by Zeke. And why would Zeke guide a minor character like him?"

Sunshade hesitated before saying, "It means Maulwurf has taken Zeke's side?"

Camp South Master nodded. "That's right."

Sunshade gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Hmph! That b*stard, how dare he betray you, Master? If I manage to find the evidence, I'll be the first to tear him apart!"

Sunshade obeyed Camp South Masters' orders and headed for the path Zeke had taken.

Zeke had already taken countermeasures in this regard.

He'd already directed Sole Wolf and the others to gather the corpses of two hundred beasts.

Sole Wolf and the others chose two hundred fat wild beasts and easily took them away with their energy.

Sunshade arrived not long after Sole Wolf left.

He was floating in mid-air, and the number of killed beasts was swiftly finalized as four hundred and nine.

He heaved a sigh of relief. "It appears that Maulwurf did not betray you, Master! I knew he didn't have the guts."
