Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2838 Useless Anteater

Quinlan looked at Zeke and the others resentfully. "What's with those expressions? Let me tell you. Being able to serve as King of Dragons' toilet paper is an honor. You ordinary people couldn't even dream of fulfilling that role."

Zeke asked, "So, what you said previously were all lies?"

Quinlan hurriedly replied, "Nonsense. Who lied to you? Aside from treating King of Dragons like a little worm, everything else I said was true."

"Are you really the first master of Theos Island?" Zeke questioned.

"Of course. I am, without a doubt, the first man to set foot on Theos Island."

"Forget it. I don't want to bother with your past," Zeke stated.

"King of Dragons mentioned that as long as we go to Dragon King Pit, he will help us. You must know where Dragon King Pit is. right?"

Quinlan took a deep breath. A troubled expression spread across his face as he hesitated to speak.

Zeke had reached the limit of his patience. "Spit it out if you have something to say, and stop beating around the bush!"

Quinlan said, "Of course, I know where it is, but... Dragon King Pit is a forbidden area. We might not even be able to reach it, as we'll all likely die trying."

"Why?" Zeke inquired.

"To reach Dragon King Pit, we must pass through the ancient sector. The ancient sector is a forbidden area within a forbidden area, and those who enter are doomed to die. This doesn't only include humans but also primordial beasts. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever managed to cross the ancient sector alive. King of Dragons' suggestion to find him at Dragon King Pit is no different from sending us to our deaths."

Zeke probed curiously, "The ancient sector? What kind of place is that? Why is it so sinister?"

Quinlan shook his head. "No one knows what the ancient sector is like since everyone who has entered, be it humans or primordial beasts, has died without exception. So, naturally, nobody knows what's inside."

"In that case, how did King of Dragons cross the ancient sector and enter Dragon King Pit?"

"I'm not quite sure. However, some speculate that King of Dragons has comprehended the Law of Space. It can traverse space directly, bypassing the ancient sector without actually crossing it, allowing it to stay safe."

Zeke was incredibly astounded. I can't believe King of Dragons comprehended the Law of Space. It's much stronger than I imagined.

At that moment, Tamandua wailed, "Can any of you help save my mom? My mom can't hold on much longer."

Staring at Anteater, Pangolin shook its head and sighed.

Anteater's injuries were grave. Its internal organs were severely displaced, and it also suffered from internal bleeding. The chances of survival were slim.

Zeke glanced at Anteater. "I'll heal you. In return, you'll follow me to Dragon King Pit. What do you say?"

Anteater agreed without hesitation.

Although death would be inevitable either way, going to Dragon King Pit would delay its demise.

Needless to say, Anteater would undoubtedly choose to prolong its life for a while.

However, it wasn't sure if Zeke could cure its injuries.

Zeke used his energy to manifest Ammo Needle to treat Anteater.

As Anteater was critically wounded, its injuries couldn't be mended with just the use of Ammo Needle.

Zeke also supplemented the therapy with his energy and Rejuvenation Grass.

Pangolin was taken aback to see Zeke using the Rejuvenation Grass to treat Anteater.

In terms of value, Rejuvenation Grass was definitely worth several times more than the dying Anteater.

Zeke had previously regarded the Rejuvenation Grass with great importance since it might save his or his friends' lives.

However, at that moment, he had unhesitatingly used the Rejuvenation Grass to nurse Anteater.

Pangolin asked in puzzlement, "Why are you doing this?"

"What?" Zeke responded.

"Why use Rejuvenation Grass to save Anteater?"

Zeke replied casually, "Sometimes, insignificant beings can play a consequential role."

Fine. Not unexpectedly, Pangolin didn't believe what Zeke said. Anteater's life is hanging by a thread and has lost its spirit pill. Its combat power is now weak beyond measure, so what significant role can it possibly play?
