Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 281 [Bonus ] You’ll Like This!
They all were quite exhausted, needed to rest. And no one in their right mind would ask for such trouble at this moment.
"Tsk! Let the kids rest," Ibra tried to help, not realising that he managed to attract the storm to himself.
"Who are the kids, grandpa?" Sara and Berry crossed their arms together, and Ibra stopped in his place motionless, lost in his own surprise from their unexpected response.
"Ahem," William patted Ibra on the back, the place he managed to reach, "don't make it hard over them. They aren't kids, but they indeed deserve a bit of rest. So…"
William paused, waited for an entire minute while everyone was praying inside that they wouldn't end up getting selected by him, "you can all have a few hours of rest."
"Yes!"
"That's our boss!"
"Let's go, let's sleep here then!"
"No," William shook his head, "go back to the central hole and sleep there."
"O… Ok…" that meant they had to walk for ten minutes to arrive there. Dejectedly, they started to walk away, leaving behind only William and Ibra behind.
"Won't you sleep a little?" Ibra turned and looked at William in interest.
"I'm not as old as you."
"Stop it! It's not funny!" Ibra complained, but his features changed the next moment and started to look a bit serious, "I heard you fought against that annoying bug."
"I did," William nodded, and Ibra responded with a tired sigh.
"Something isn't right, and I got the feeling you know this as well."
"How so?" William shared the same line of thoughts with Ibra, yet he acted oblivious to all this.
"Tsk! You need to work more on your bluffing skills," Ibra evilly grinned, "I can tell that you are lying from afar!"
"It's because you are old enough to see through me."
"Not funny!" Ibra complained again, before returning to look serious, "it's not a common thing to face one gold grade monster in such an area of the forest. And now we met two! This isn't normal at all!"
"I agree," William dropped his act, and added in similar seriousness, "what do you think drove them away from the deepest parts of the forest?"
"My best bet will be a terrifying monster," Ibra paused, "these monsters work solo, but they are quite territorial. They won't relocate until they get forced to."
"I can't think of another possibility," William paused, turning his eyes over the direction of the array, "our path shall cross the deepest part of the forest. Taking a detour will delay us for two more days at least."
"That's not the problem," Ibra sighed, "everywhere we go from now on will be like walking in the depths of the forest. Meeting such rare and quite dangerous monsters won't be a rare thing." 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
"Let's pray our luck is good enough to avoid facing more of them," William wasn't quite honest in his words. Unlike what he said, he hoped to meet more of these troublesome monsters.
Even if they were all gold grade, they were all with a common thing; they got a fatal weakness!
He didn't tell Ibra to not scare him. He saw three more of these scary dudes outside the array before starting the cleansing operation.
Such monsters were the first to leave the deepest parts of the forest, and that was because they were considered the weakest out there. William agreed with Ibra's theory, and he knew more of these weak monsters would appear from now on.
As long as they had weaknesses he could exploit, William wouldn't flinch back from fighting them. After all, each single monster of these would give him a gold grade core.
"Fingers crossed," Ibra did really cross his two fingers together, praying for good luck, "what will you do now? Collect materials? Or gather cores?"
"No, this is their task, not ours."
"Who said I'm joining you?!" Ibra raised an eyebrow, and William smiled in a way that told Ibra what was coming next from William's mouth wasn't going to be nice.
"I'm sure you'll like this… Let's go and do the reconnaissance outside."
"Out there?" Ibra pointed his glaive towards the direction of the array, "right now? Only the two of us!!"
"We need to lay the basis for our escape," William shrugged, "you and I know quite well that we are safe inside this array. But once we get out, these monsters will devour us."
"No, they'll eat themselves before that."
"But only the strongest and most troublesome dudes will lay out there in wait," William rolled his eyes, "don't tell me you didn't notice these few dudes who are waiting out there."
"I noticed a few," And as William suspected from this dude's intense reaction, he noticed the monsters William noticed before. Ibra's face changed slightly before adding, "that's why I'm telling you, something big is happening out there!"
"Let's not think about things we can't control for now," William's face became all serious, "let's go out there, do a little warm up, kill a few of those annoying bastards, before retreating and rest."
"You… You are a fighting maniac! A magnet for trouble! Do you know that? Tsk!" Ibra shook his head before adding, "we are just two! Why the heck shall we go out there when we can wait and rest inside until these monsters will start killing each other. I vote to wait for our team to rest and get in shape, before getting out and started hunting them!" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
"Good point, but who said there is a vote here?" William nodded, before shaking off his head next, "it won't work the way you imagined. You and I are making a hell of a team. I can keep these monsters busy, while you do the heavy lifting work for us."
"For you!" Ibra corrected him, and William didn't care about what he said.
"If we wait, we will get a lot of dead weight on our back."
"Those silver dudes aren't half bad actually. They can help!"
