Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2834 We Can Save Your Mother

As it turned out, Pangolin had thought things through. It knew it'd suffer a fate worse than death if it were to lie to Zeke and the others.

Therefore, it tried its best to lead them away from the dangerous areas and constantly reminded them to be careful when the perils were unavoidable.

After all, they were now in the same boat.

Zeke, on the other hand, instantly thought of the giant monster living underneath the swamp.

"Pangolin, you mentioned there's something under these murky waters. Do you know what it is exactly?"

Pangolin glanced at the swamp, its face ashen with fear. "To tell you the truth, I don't know what lives beneath either. However, rumors say it's a massive creature that has existed since the primordial era. Nobody knows its exact size or power, but people on Theos Island believe it's even more formidable than King of Dragons. That's because someone claimed to have seen him praying to the swamp." Needless to say, Zeke and the others were stunned.

Oh, my goodness! A creature that existed since the primordial era? That's hundreds of thousands of years ago when humans hadn't even appeared! Moreover, how does no one know its size and power? Why is it so mysterious?

"Wait a minute... Have you guys realized that there might be a giant monster underneath every swamp? On top of that, their sizes often correlate with the size of the swamps," Zeke suggested.

"Yes, I have," Pangolin answered without a second thought. "However, that's only one of the many possibilities. The humans and beasts on Theos Island have another theory."

Zeke and the others immediately fixed their gazes on Pangolin.

"The body of that giant monster might be covering the entire underground of Theos Island, and the monsters in the swamps are just a part of it..."

Thump!

For a moment, everyone's hearts lurched.

Not only was that theory possible, but the chances of it being true were also very high!

Oh, dear... If that monster can cover the whole of Theos Island, how big is it exactly? What if it appears in the human world? Wouldn't that be the end of human civilization? No matter what, the monster underneath Theos Island must not be awakened!

With that in mind, Zeke and his group carefully made their way through the swamp.

Not long after, a rustling noise rang out in the forest ahead as though something was rushing toward them.

Naturally, that sent everyone, including Zeke, into a panic. "Careful. There's something in front of us."

When the creature finally appeared, the group was surprised to see it was a small anteater beast, Tamandua.

Even though Tamandua was small compared to the other primordial beasts in the primeval forest, it was, in fact, several times larger than a normal anteater.

The beast was as big as a camel, and its snout was so long and sharp that it could flatten any trees and rocks in its path.

Alas, Tamandua had been severely injured, to the point where its eyes were covered with blood. As such, it didn't even realize it was charging headlong into Zeke's group.

Upon seeing Tamandua, Pangolin gasped in horror. "What happened to you, Tamandua? Who hurt you?"

Tamandua instantly halted in its tracks and fought back the tears. "Madam Pangolin? Is that you, Madam Pangolin?"

Zeke couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Madam? Haha! I can't believe we never knew that Pangolin's a female...

Pangolin hastily approached Tamandua and began cleaning its wounds. "Yes, it's me, Tamandua. Don't be scared. Tell me. What on earth happened?"

The next second, Tamandua burst into a flood of tears.

"Please save my mother, Madam Pangolin. She's almost dying. Please hurry..."

By then, Pangolin's anxiety had shot through the roof. "Calm down, Tamandua. I need you to tell me who attacked your mother!"

"I don't know who he is, but I heard her call him King of Dragons."

Zeke and the rest immediately perked up their ears. King of Dragons? Wow! Who knew we'd track him down so quickly?

"Come on, Tamandua. Take us to your mother now," Pangolin urged. "Don't worry. These humans are the masters of King of Dragons. They will be able to save her."
