Chapter 151 Monster Stampede [Part 3]


"Zion, I sure hope that you know what you're doing because I don't want to believe that you don't," Adira said as the seven-year-old unlocked the steel cage, allowing the Warsor Black Hound to exit the cage and run alongside the First Wagon.

"Help me ride the Warsor Black Hound, Lady Adira," Thirteen said. "I will handle the rest. You and the rest escape."

"Fool, do you think I'll leave you alone?" Adira snorted. "Cristopher, you and the others head back to Gronar City, we will meet you guys as soon as we can!"

After saying those words, the Drow jumped off the First Wagon, carrying the seven-year-old over her shoulder like a sack of rice.

She then landed deftly at the back of the Warsor Black Hound and summoned several shadows to bind her, and Zion firmly to its back, preventing themselves from falling off.

"What's the plan?" Adira asked.

"We will run toward the Hyenas," Thirteen replied. "Then we will act as bait to divert their attention."

"Are you mad?!" Adira was almost regretting her decision to accompany the boy on this suicide mission.

Even the Warsor Black Hound wanted to question the boy's order, but after hearing his explanation, the Drow and the Black Hound both shut up.

"First, Blacky will be able to outrun the Hyenas, keeping us safe," Thirteen explained. "Even if the Rank 5 Overlord were to run after us, we can still escape without a problem."

The Warsor Black Hound barked as if asking the boy whom he was calling Blacky, because it refused to acknowledge that it had been given a very mundane name.

"Blacky, we don't have time, so circle around the Monster Stampede so that we can arrive at its rear," Thirteen ordered. "The sooner we distract them, the safer our companions will be."

The Black Hound barked, still refusing to acknowledge the name that the boy was using to call it.

However, it still followed Thirteen's orders and dashed to the side to get away from the front of the Monster Stampede while circling towards its back.

"Zion, what's wrong with your eyes?" Adira asked the boy who was seated behind her. "Can you not open them?"

"I can," Thirteen replied. "But I won't. I am focusing my senses on my hearing. Besides, even if my eyes are open, it's too dark for me to see anything. I don't have Dark Vision, so it will just be a waste of brainpower."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Lady Adira, please be quiet. I am waiting for Vassago's signal."

Just as the younger boy was saying, he was currently focusing his brainpower to focus only on his sense of hearing.

The moment he landed on the Black Hound's back, he temporarily opened his eyes and could only see a blur of his surroundings, so he just closed his eyes again.

He believed that this was just a temporary thing to push his vision and concentration past his limits.

The boy didn't even have the luxury of blinking when he was targeting the Hyenas' eyes in order to blind them in the battle they had a few hours ago.

Because of this, he had strained his eyes, making him only see blurry images.

But Thirteen didn't plan on fighting the leader of the Hyenas.

He just wanted to catch his attention.

Nocking another arrow on his bow, the boy waited for Vassago's signal before firing another one.

This time, his arrow flew toward the hyena's face, bouncing off of its snout.

The Rank 5 Overlord growled as it shifted its attention toward the boy who was riding on the back of a Warsor Black Hound.

It didn't notice Thirteen earlier because the latter was too small and too insignificant to notice.

However, after the Golden-Eyed Hyena's gaze landed on his body, it instantly recognized the boy as a human—not just any ordinary human, but a Wanderer.

The Jinns loved to feast on Wanderers on a bestial level because they knew that they were their natural enemies.

Jinns already liked to eat humans, to begin with, and Wanderers were like a super delicious delicacy for them.

Seeing him for what he truly was, the Rank 5 Overlord roared, ordering its subordinates to capture the boy so that he could feast on his flesh.

"Run, Forest, run!" Vassago's cry reached Thirteen's ears, informing him that he had accomplished his mission.

"Blacky, run away to the West!" Thirteen ordered.

The Black Hound no longer bothered to bark at the annoying boy and just did what it was told.

Just like Thirteen had predicted, the Golden-Eyed Hyenas all ran after him, desperate to take a bite out of his body.

The Drow, whose brows were furrowed, glanced behind her and asked Thirteen a question.

"Why West?" Adira asked.

"Because the Hyenas' worst enemy is in that direction," Thirteen answered. "We are simply making it so the two of them meet again."

After giving his reply, the boy shot another arrow, which once again bounced off the Rank 5 Overlord's face, infuriating it further.

Adira, who had no idea that they were running in the direction of the Purple Furred Honey Badger, no longer talked and focused on the path in front of her.

The Black Hound's tongue was already lolling from the side of its mouth as it decreased its speed to save its strength.

Similar to the Drow, it didn't know what the seven-year-old was thinking.

However, it remained vigilant as it ran at a steady pace.

It didn't leave the Hyenas in the dust but maintained a safe distance from them, giving these terrifying monsters hope that the Black Hound would soon get tired. And once they caught up, they could finally sink their teeth into the flesh of the delicious human boy, who had released another arrow flying toward their Leader's nose.
