Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2824 Eating Its Gall

Zeke continued, "It felt like someone was watching us, but it wasn't a particularly strong feeling. But if you didn't sense anything... Maybe I misread it."

They stopped dwelling on it and continued their way.

The tiny snake that was spying on Zeke hurried its way until it came to a spotted giant python known as Corra.

The tiny snake hissed at Corra and informed the latter about the scene it observed.

Once Corra heard its subordinate's report, it grinned. "Hmph! Ignorant fools. I can't believe they're heading toward the primeval forest to seek King of Dragons. They're courting death! I have to inform Theos about this as quickly as possible."

Corra then patted the tiny snake's head with its tail and praised, "Good job, little one. You'll get two eggs for this. This is no ordinary egg-this is the egg of a firetail bird. Once you consume a firetail bird's egg, your power will soon be upgraded. Work hard for me, and you'll soon become a wyrm like me."

The tiny snake nodded vigorously, thanking Corra.

With that said, Corra shrunk and turned into an average-sized spotted snake before soaring into the air by launching itself with its tail.

After ten minutes of flying, Corra found Theos and landed in his arms.

Theos was on his way to Camp South to meet Zeke when Corra appeared.

He halted in his tracks and asked, "Corra, why have you come to me?"

Corra quickly asked, "Lord Theos, are you heading to Camp South to look for Zeke?"

Theos nodded. "Indeed. I'd like to find out for myself how powerful Zeke is to be bold enough to do as he pleases on my island."

Corra chuckled. "Lord Theos, there's no need for you to head to Camp South anymore. Zeke isn't there at the moment."

Theos knitted his brows. "He's not at Camp South? Then where has he gone to?"

"Lord Theos, I can tell you where he is, but can you promise me something?"

A tinge of fury covered Theos' eyes. "Why... Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

Corra shuddered in fright and hastily said, "Please have mercy, Lord Theos. I don't mean that. I just wish to go after Zeke along with you, Lord Theos. Please grant me this wish of mine." Theos then apathetically uttered, "Speak. Where is he?"

"He has gone to the primeval forest to look for King of Dragons."

What?

Theos was taken aback. "Zeke has gone to the primeval forest alone?"

Corra shook its head. "No, he has brought a few subordinates of him along."

"Only humans? Does he not have other warriors by his side?"

Corra shook its head again. "He only took his subordinates with him."

Theos smiled. "They have no idea the terror of the primeval forest, and that's why they had the courage to head there. Maybe we won't need to do anything this time. Those primordial beasts might end his life for us."

Corra inclined its head in agreement. "Lord Theos, do you need me to inform my friends to surround Zeke and his men?"

"No need. Let's head to the primeval forest to check out the situation as well."

"Lord Theos, why would you go there?"

"We must never underestimate our opponent, for you never know what other tricks they have up their sleeves. Perhaps Zeke and the others have a way to avoid the primordial beasts' attacks. I want to kill them myself if I have the chance to. Secondly, I'd like to see King of Dragons," Theos wistfully said, "It would be best if I get to swallow the gall of the dragon."

Corra was quiet.

It had heard about King of Dragons' reputation, and it could not guarantee that it would win against King of Dragons and get its gall for Theos.

Right as Theos was about to move, something alerted his consciousness.

Theos knew that the trapped Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus were calling for him.

He figured that they had come to their senses and decided to submit to him.
