Chapter 2830 Who Are They

Zeke took a moment to consider Pangolin's offer before agreeing, “I see your point. However, how can we be sure you won't lead us to a ferocious beast's territory on purpose and get us killed? To be frank, I don't trust you completely just yet.”

Pangolin frowned and eventually let out a resigned sigh. “All right. We can form a master and slave contract. Once the contract is established, I'll be subject to punishment by the laws of nature, and my soul will dissipate if I betray you. Do you trust me now?”

Zeke gave a curt nod. “That's more like it.”

With that, he used his mental energy to form a master and slave contract. Pangolin also used its mental energy to sign the contract.

After they both signed the contract, it took effect officially.

Zeke asked, “Pangolin, you said earlier that you stayed here to protect the Rejuvenation Grass. Where is it?”

Pangolin extended its shaking paw, pointing toward a white lotus-like plant ten meters away. “There it is,” it said.

Zeke observed the Rejuvenation Grass, which caught his attention. “What is its effect?”

Pangolin appeared uneasy as it spoke. “Master, I must inform you that the Rejuvenation Grass is only effective for pangolins and has no benefits for humans. In fact, if a human consumes it, it may result in poisoning. So, it's useless for you to take it.”

Zeke asked Quinlan, “Mr. Hayes, is Pangolin speaking the truth?”

Quinlan chuckled and replied, “Pangolins and humans are both living beings, so it doesn't make sense for something to be beneficial for one but not the other. The Rejuvenation Grass can actually be processed into a rejuvenation pill that can increase vigor and provide one with an instant burst of explosive energy. It could even save lives. It's quite valuable.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Quinlan chuckled and replied, “Pangolins and humans are both living beings, so it doesn't make sense for something to be beneficial for one but not the other. The Rejuvenation Grass can actually be processed into a rejuvenation pill that can increase vigor and provide one with an instant burst of explosive energy. It could even save lives. It's quite valuable.”

Upon learning that Pangolin had lied to him, Zeke slapped its head hard.

After being hit by Zeke's powerful attack, Pangolin tumbled on the ground several times before finally coming to a stop.

With a swollen head and tongue hanging out of its mouth, Pangolin looked miserable as blood trickled down the corner of its lips.

Pangolin asked weakly, “Master, why did you hit me?”

Zeke snapped, “If you dare to lie to me again, I will do so much more than just hit you. I'll slaughter you right away. Rejuvenation Grass can be made into a rejuvenation pill to rejuvenate one's energy and increase one's strength. Do you think I'm a fool who will fall for your lies easily?”

Pangolin was speechless. If you know the Rejuvenation Grass well, why would you ask me about its effects? You must've done that on purpose!

Pangolin was on the verge of tears.

Carefully, Zeke kept the Rejuvenation Grass and announced, “Come, let's continue on our journey to find King of Dragons!”

Quinlon chuckled ond replied, “Pongolins ond humons ore both living beings, so it doesn't moke sense for something to be beneficiol for one but not the other. The Rejuvenotion Gross con octuolly be processed into o rejuvenotion pill thot con increose vigor ond provide one with on instont burst of explosive energy. It could even sove lives. It's quite voluoble.”

Upon leorning thot Pongolin hod lied to him, Zeke slopped its heod hord.

After being hit by Zeke's powerful ottock, Pongolin tumbled on the ground severol times before finolly coming to o stop.

With o swollen heod ond tongue honging out of its mouth, Pongolin looked miseroble os blood trickled down the corner of its lips.

Pongolin osked weokly, “Moster, why did you hit me?”

Zeke snopped, “If you dore to lie to me ogoin, I will do so much more thon just hit you. I'll sloughter you right owoy. Rejuvenotion Gross con be mode into o rejuvenotion pill to rejuvenote one's energy ond increose one's strength. Do you think I'm o fool who will foll for your lies eosily?”

Pongolin wos speechless. If you know the Rejuvenotion Gross well, why would you osk me obout its effects? You must've done thot on purpose!

Pongolin wos on the verge of teors.

Corefully, Zeke kept the Rejuvenotion Gross ond onnounced, “Come, let's continue on our journey to find King of Drogons!”

While they were on their way, Pangolin cautiously inquired, “Master, may I ask why you want to find King of Dragons? He is insane and indiscriminately takes lives. I once called him a small earthworm behind his back, and he has been holding a grudge ever since. As soon as he returned, he sought revenge on me.”

Zeke disclosed, “King of Dragons used to be my servant. However, he disobeyed my orders and fled. I have come here to capture him and show him the consequences of his actions.”

What?

Pangolin's eyes nearly popped out from their sockets.

King of Dragons used to be his servant? Who the h*ll are these people? I can't believe they are able to make King of Dragons submit to them.

Pangolin no longer dared to underestimate them, and the last bit of rebellion in its heart vanished.

Immediately after their departure, the ground collapsed, and a tiny hole as big as a hand materialized. A gray rat's head peeked out of the hole cautiously.

It gazed at its surroundings warily and made sure there was no one around before it climbed out carefully.

F*ck it. The primeval forest is getting more dangerous by the day. After its return, King of Dragons defeated Pangolin and took its spirit pill away, nearly killing it in the process.
