Chapter 326: Chapter 206 Staring Contest_1

A ‘sound’ carried in the Resting Wind came from far away. It wasn’t the kind of sound one would hear with ears, rather, it was a message similar to how a Little Sapling would ‘try hard to grow? The message in the Resting Wind roughly meant: get out of the way my fur is messed up

Ange sprinted with an air bubble, and quickly, almost suddenly, bumped into another one.

This was a massive bubble. The Resting Wind blew here, but it quietly circumvented it, forming a windless space resembling the World Tree.

The source of this bubble was a Giant Beast. It had a huge body, about sixty meters in diameter, entirely covered in fluffy fur that propped it up into a ball.

This ball was just there, its Big Mouth gaping, letting out a silent roar at the Resting Wind: get out of the way my fur is messed up

The Resting Wind surprisingly obeyed and circled around it.

With the fuzzy ball at its center, a range of two hundred meters in diameter experienced much milder wind, like being inside the protective circle of the World Tree Windshield Forest.

Ange unsuspectingly invaded this bubble area, and locked eyes with the Big Mouth.

The eyes of the Big Mouth blinked, blinked again, then it turned its head, continuing to roar silently at the air. It might have thought it was roaring, but Ange thought it looked more like a sigh. Regardless, the Resting Wind circled around it obediently.

The young Paladin wasn’t happy, “Captain, what do you mean by that?”

“Humans should know their limitations. With our strength, what significant task can we perform? This task is clearly not essential, whether we succeed or not. Yet you’re still upset? I’m hoping to get such tasks everyday. If we succeed, there’s no credit, if we fail there’s no blame. Isn’t that convenient?”

“You sly old fox,” muttered the young Paladin. He was still young and yet held ambitions to make significant contributions, to earn divine blessings, to wield influence, to rise rapidly, not to accept a life with little ambition like the older Paladin.

Seeing the reaction of the young Paladin, the older one revealed a knowing expression and chuckled, “Can’t say it’s not important either. Any task involving Dimension Beasts is indeed important. It seems the higher-ups want to nurture you.”

“Really? I knew it.” The young Paladin perked up, energized. His digging sped up significantly.

No one told him that if the words of a comrade feel bad, they might be truthful. But if those words sound good and are easily accepted, they might be fibs.

When the topic of Dimension Beasts was brought up, the young Paladin seemed uneasy. He glanced at the Giant Beast and asked in a low voice, “Captain, why is such a huge monster so obedient?”

The older Paladin chuckled, “You got it wrong. When was it obedient? Try ordering it and see if it obeys. There must be an agreement between it and the higher-ups for it to act this way. Otherwise, even if you stood naked in from of it, sprinkled with salt and spices, it would still ignore you.”

“That’s good, that’s good. Ignoring me is best,” the young Paladin was relieved. The vigor from his youth was gone, and he sighed in relief, “With one swipe of its claw, it could squash us into meat pies.”

Before long, the pit was dug. The two Paladins pulled up the stake, placed it at the bottom of the pit and tied the zombies to it. Then they dripped some sort of liquid on the ropes.
