These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 158: Large gathering

With the sets of living armour leading the way, there was no need to worry if we were going the right way.

The only thing that we had to worry about was if there was anyone waiting for us.

With how many people had come into this dungeon for this competition, as well as how there were only five Elite Monsters in total, there was no doubt that many people would be coming to take care of this Master Gnome.

That meant that we would have a lot of competition in our way.

But before that…

It was always harder to subdue something than to destroy something.

If I were to destroy the sets of living armour that came at us, that would just mean that there would be fewer sets of living armour for me to control. So the only way that this would work was if we subdued them and then controlled the gnome.

It wouldn’t be a problem to create more sets of living armour since I had more than enough material to do so, it was just that it would take time.

So instead of making more, it was better to use the ones that were already made.

Five different gnomes were subdued which increased our living armour army to three digits.

It really was a sight seeing all of these sets of living armour follow us, but they just made too much noise. So the only thing that could be done was split them up so that it was easier to hide them.

It was just that as expected, there were many people that were already gathered when we approached where the Master Gnome was.

They didn’t even bother hiding themselves since it seemed like they were planning on working together.

There were three groups gathered and they all seemed to be working against each other.

The group that seemed to have the most supporters was one that was made around the Fire God Team as a core. Since they had one of the top contenders as a core part of their team it was only natural that they felt confident.

It was to the point where the other two teams both seemed like they were targeting the Fire God Team.

That was just the pressure that the Fire God Team put on them.

But of course, we didn’t join any of the teams.

First, it wasn’t as if there was a need for us to join any of the teams since we already had our own team.

Second, it was because it was unlikely that they would have accepted us in the first place since we had shown up with a bunch of monsters.

It would have been strange if they didn’t attack us after seeing us with all of these monsters.

So it was better for us to watch and see what happened.

…

"Big Brother Huang, when do you want to attack the Master Gnome?"

"Can’t you see all these stragglers hanging around? If we do anything now, they’ll just fly around like a bunch of buzzing flies. There’s no point in fighting against the Master Gnome now."

"Big Brother Huang, are you worried about them? Should we take care of the flies first then?"

"Who said that we need to take care of them? All that they want is to take advantage of us to weaken the Master Gnome, why should we do that work for them?"

"Ah, Big Brother Huang, I understand now. You just don’t want to give them anything. You really are the best."

This was a conversation between the leader of the Fire God Team and one of the teams that joined them.

They deliberately made their voice loud enough so that the others could hear what they were saying.

At the same time, Big Brother Huang, or whose real name was Huang Tuo, was looking at the members of the other two teams. The way that he looked at them was as if he was antagonizing them, it was as if he wanted them to attack them.

That was the confidence that one should have as one of the top contenders of the competition.

But at the same time, it was clear that this Fire God Team had something else planned.

Still, it wasn’t as if the others would fall for the bait that easily. They knew that the Fire God Team must be planning something, so they wouldn’t step into that trap that easily.

Seeing this, Huang Tuo just ignored them as he narrowed his eyes to look at the Master Gnome.

Even if he was strong, that didn’t mean that he would be able to take on this Master Gnome alone. Let alone the fact that he could sense that there were other things that were in the area.

He wanted to use these other groups to test the waters, but if they didn’t take the bait…

The only thing that he could do was…

"Alright, send your people to surround the Master Gnome and spread out. We want to make sure that it won’t be able to escape at all."

"Eh? Big Brother Huang, doesn’t that spread our forces a bit too thin? What if they attack us while we’re all spread out like this." The way that this person was as if he was afraid of the other two groups.

That was only natural since it was only the Fire God Team that could suppress the other two groups easily. The ones that teamed up with the Fire God Team were those that weren’t as strong.

They were hoping for the Fire God Team’s protection and to see if they could do anything behind the scenes.

So if they didn’t have the protection of the Fire God Team, it wasn’t as if they would be able to deal with the other teams.

They could stall them, but they were far from being able to match them.

Naturally they wanted to use the Fire God Team to protect themselves.

But it wasn’t as if they could refuse the orders of the Fire God Team since they were the ones that wanted to rely on them.

So a single glance from Huang Tuo was enough to scare them into spreading out.
