Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 2773

Chapter 2773 We Are Time Bombs

Zeke didn't know much about the primordial beast and urgently needed more information on it.

As the saying went, knowing thyself and thy enemy could ensure victory in a hundred battles.

Phoenix, on the other hand, was confused at Zeke's words. “A primordial beast? What is that?” she asked.

Zeke was skeptical. “You don't know about the primordial beast? Then what's the clue you said you're giving me?”

“The clue is that the sound of that bull's roar might have come from Minotaur,” Phoenix replied in a hushed voice.

“Minotaur? The Minotaur from TV shows?” Zeke asked.

Phoenix quickly shook her head. “No, of course not. Minotaur is just a code name... I'm talking about a devil.”

“Go on,” Zeke urged her.

Phoenix explained, “According to legend, there was a devil named Minotaur who ruled over the entire Theos Island before the island was discovered by Theos. Afterward, Theos and Minotaur reached some sort of agreement, and Minotaur retreated to the Beast District and only lived there. Humans on Theos Island are under the jurisdiction of Theos, while the beasts on Theos Island are under the command of Minotaur. Legend has it that Minotaur has great supernatural powers and can even transform into human form, and its strength is comparable to that of Theos.”

“I suspect that we have killed too many beasts, which has angered Minotaur, and that's why it was warning us,” Phoenix concluded. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Zeke was intrigued by Phoenix's “story.”

Legends were mostly based on the truth, after all.

The Minotaur in this legend was most likely the primordial beast they were dealing with.

The information about Minotaur in the legend was definitely related to the primordial beast.

“What else do you know about Minotaur?” Zeke asked Phoenix.

“In the legend, Minotaur can breathe fire from its mouth and nose, and the fire it breathes is no ordinary fire. The intensity of the fire is such that it is capable of causing a river to evaporate,” Phoenix said.

It can breathe fire from its mouth and nose?

Zeke immediately thought of the fire that erupted when Minotaur roared.

Could that fire have been from Minotaur?

Breathing fire... Fire seed... Could it be that Minotaur has mastered the fire seed?

The logic was clear and accurate.

Zeke gradually became excited. It seemed that this myth was very likely true.

“Phoenix, this information is very important to me. Now, I'm giving you a task to investigate everything related to Minotaur and report back to me,” Zeke said to Phoenix.

Phoenix was surprised but pleased that her unintentional act might have helped Zeke a great deal. “Okay, I will collect all the legends related to Minotaur immediately,” she replied.

Phoenix left, and Zeke, lost in deep thought, watched her depart.

If I join forces with Sole Wolf and the others, would we be able to defeat Minotaur together? Even if we could, we wouldn't have time to look out for the safety of the ordinary folk. Our attacks would definitely injure them. We need a foolproof plan.

Thinking it over, Zeke decided to change the location where the battle would take place.

We were the ones who killed the beasts, so Minotaur would certainly seek revenge on us. If we were to leave this place, then there would be no reason for it to come here. We're basically time bombs. Wherever we go, Minotaur will come after us. So, what if we went to Camp South?

Zeke wondered if Camp South Master would welcome them. Although it was a sneaky move, Camp South Master had played dirty first.

There was no time to waste, so Zeke immediately called Sole Wolf and the others.

“Get ready. We're leaving quietly tonight,” Zeke said.

“Huh?” Sole Wolf was puzzled. “Zeke, the wall here isn't even built yet, and we're still in danger. Leaving now would be irresponsible to our team members.”

“We're leaving here because we're responsible for their lives,” Zeke replied. “If I'm not mistaken, the primordial beast has already set its sight on us. We're time bombs, and wherever we go, there is danger. Therefore, our best choice is to leave.”
