Chapter 40: Sleeping Worm!

Gentle looked at the frightened woman, scared speechless. Perhaps she was right, or perhaps she was lying. But who knew?

After saying all that, only she knew if it was true.

“Capture them first and take them away.” Benevolence took a look. In fact, they already knew what they needed to know, so there was no rush for this moment. In any case, the sacrificial ritual would only begin tomorrow. It would be fine as long as they cancelled it.

On the other hand, their main goal now was not to find out the forces behind them, but to awaken the Guardian first.

“How do we wake the Guardian?” Gentle asked the woman on the floor one last time.

“I don’t know, I really don’t know. Our mission was to drug the guardian of the Skalan Forest. After that, we’ll go back. We don’t know anything else. It’s really just that.” The woman was crying.

“Show me the drug.”

After that, someone immediately came to deliver a bottle. It was a crystal clear jade box. One could see a pool of dark and turbid liquid inside. It looked disgusting, as if there was a living creature inside.

“This is a Sleeping Worm!?”

Gentle was shocked. Sleeping Worms were very rare. They could parasitize other large creatures and only then could they survive. Although they were a pool of liquid, they were actually very small creatures. One drop of the liquid had thousands of Sleeping Worms. This number was enough to make ordinary large Demon Beasts sleep for a lifetime.

The Sleeping Worms were used on the Guardian. It was understandable that it had slept until now.

The place where the Sleeping Worms lived was relatively hidden, and they needed a trace of spiritual energy to nurture them. This jade box that kept them contained spiritual energy. Only then could the Sleeping Worm be preserved until now. They thought that the Sleeping Worms were very weak, very fragile, but they had a special characteristic. Once they were possessed, their life force would become very tenacious. Just look at their Guardian Beast.

“What evil people. Did the Guardian Beast ever threaten them? The Guardian is only in Skalan Forest. Why did these people bear a grudge against it?” Gentle angrily punched the wall. The wall caved in, leaving a clear fist mark. Blood flowed out from her hand.

“We don’t know anything, really. Trust us.”

“That’s right. Please believe us. We really don’t know anything. We’re only doing this for money. We don’t know the inside story.”

“Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me.”

The woman scrambled to her feet and dropped to her knees, hugging Gentle’s thigh.

Gentle glanced at the beastmen following her and smiled. She lowered her head to look at the woman and said, “This woman is all yours. Don’t play her death. She must live.”

The beastmen were overjoyed. They hadn’t had fun in a long time. Now that Gentle said this, they were overjoyed. They quickly bowed their heads and said,” Thank you for your reward, Lord Gentle. We definitely won’t let her lose her life. ”

“No, please don’t. I’ve said everything. I beg you. Please let me go.”

The woman’s face went white as she dropped to her knees, clutching Gentle’s leg.

“Hmph, if you’re innocent, then what about our Guardian? Didn’t you think of what would happen when you did this?” Gentle sneered and coldly shook off her hand.

“No, don’t, don’t…”

A terrified scream came.

“Let’s go back.” Benevolence took a casual look around the place. The woman had been carried on the shoulders of an Orc and had become their trophy. “When we get back, don’t say anything. Just follow my instructions. I want an explanation from the sorcerer.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The beastmen shouted one after another.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an extremely arrogant laugh rang out in the air. It belonged to a man.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!”

The sudden laughter frightened the group of people. What was going on? They looked around in confusion. Where did the sound come from?

“Who is it!”

“Who’s there!”

“Don’t act mysterious!”

“If you’re caught by us, don’t beg for mercy. I’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”

…

The voice ignored their words. The laughter continued.

Then it stopped.

“Since you found out about this place, you can’t leave. Do you think finding this place is your victory?

What a joke. You have found this place and learned so much. It means that your death is here.

“From the moment you enter this place, don’t even think about leaving. I’ve already set up a trap outside. It’s impossible for you to escape.”

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!”

His laughter was extremely arrogant.

Mercy and Benevolence looked at each other. Without another word, Mercy rushed out. Who knew that as soon as he went out, there was a transparent wall in the air. Mercy was hit so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

“We’ve been trapped.” Mercy was shocked, his scalp wounded.

Benevolence was stunned. What was going on? They had actually set up a formation here.

Gentle touched the transparent wall in front of her with her hand and took a step back. The sword in her hand suddenly glowed with a white light and slashed at the air wall in front of her.

Bang!

Gentle took a step back, her hands holding the sword trembling slightly. All the force she had used on the sword bounced back on her. She almost couldn’t take the blow.

Seeing this, everyone’s hearts sank.

“What should we do!” Everyone thought.

Next, all the beastmen put down their war trophies and rushed up to break through the invisible wall.

Half an hour passed.

The wall was still up, but the men were now riddled with wounds. Even the sword in Gentle’s hand was dented in, but the invisible wall did not waver. They were stuck here.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

That laugh again.

Gentle glanced back at the men they had captured and said, “Break through the trap, and we will keep you from dying.”

The woman hurried over. She had to show her worth. Fortunately, she had some understanding of such traps.

“I’ll do it.”

The woman didn’t care that she was naked now. She went up to the wall, then spoke to the Orcs behind her, especially to Benevolence. She knew that Benevolence was the one in charge here. As long as she tried to please Benevolence, she would have a chance to save herself.

“This trap was set up by that masked man. I know his aura. This wall has his aura. If we want to break through the trap, we must find the eye of the formation.”

Then, she continued, “Actually, as long as we gather our strength together, we might be able to break it. We have many people, but we need Swordsmen and Sorcerers.”
