Chapter 1160 Hunting The Big Boss



The path to the cave was getting narrower and strangely getting even colder outside, this was not a normal occurrence.

During their journey they were constantly attacked by endless bands of Writh, the only explanation that popped into Lory's head was that this cave was where Writh bred, alas, this is bad news because right now they didn't have time to wipe out the entire species.

Right now they were being attacked by dozens of Wriths that kept coming without stopping even though they had no problem dealing with all of them but still, this wasted them a lot of time, so Garrof gave the order for all of them to retreat. Lory kicked the beast in front of her and then pulled Zhao Li Xin to run away with her.

Zhao Li Xin was a little reluctant to leave because for cultivators the more they struggled the smoother their Qi circulated in their body which meant that the faster the immortal flame adapted to his body, plus there was possibility that Zhao Li Xin might have forgotten their original purpose of coming here.

[Li Xin Come quick! I'll buy you a pack of soda that's much better than you drank before!] Lory coaxed him.

[Is it harder than the usual soda I drink?] Zhao Li Xin's eyes flashed with shock, the truth is, Zhao Li Xin already become used to the soda he drink, as proof he only coughed twice! But he should have known that the one he was facing before was just a small fry.

[Yup!] Lory raised her thumb.

[Okay!] Without further ado Zhao Li Xin took Lory in 'Princess carry' and then run in haste, he stomped the beast's head into the ground as a foothold for him to take a leap, Lory saw the poor beast's head flattened to the ground as Zhao Li Xin jumped gracefully leaving a trail of blood behind him.

'He really is weird' Lory sighed inwardly.

"OVER HERE!" Garrof beckoned them to run in his direction.

Lory pointed at Garrof and Zhao Li Xin running towards him while Lloyd followed right behind Zhao Li Xin. As soon as they approached Garrof quickly Garrof fired his rifle towards the top of the cave and the next second, all the stalactites hanging inside the cave collapsed with a loud sound causing dust and debris to fly into the air, the beast screeched in rage. and panicked when some of them were buried by the rock and ice rubble from the ceiling cave when everything subside the beast's path was completely blocked.

"This will keep them away...at least for now" Garrof lowered his gun.

"Your move is very fast" Lloyd sincerely complimented Zhao Li Xin and Lory translated it for Zhao Li Xin with a big grin across her face.

Zhao Li Xin's expression remained flat but he gave a nod of acknowledgment to Lloyd's praise which was an amazing reaction one could expect from someone like Zhao Li Xin.

But Lloyd, who didn't know Zhao Li Xin's past, didn't think much of Zhao Li Xin's incredible reaction, only Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin with widened eyes. Lory thought Zhao Li Xin would act indifferent as usual but unexpectedly he would kindly appreciate Lloyd.

Lory felt that Zhao Li Xin had gotten milder since coming into her world, she doesn't know if should she be happy or worried.

"You understand you trapped us here, right" Lloyd give Garrof blaming look.

"Don't worry buddy, we'll be fine, this isn't like the worst situation we've ever been in, right?!" Garrof didn't look the least bit worried.

Lloyd rolls his eyes which ignore by Garrof who jokes with Lory "You're not afraid aren't you Raven!"

"No, I've always wanted to be trapped with a Monstrous Beast in a cold cave out of nowhere!" Lory replied sarcastically.

"See..." Garrof makes a cheeky grin.

"....." Lloyd was rendered speechless.

Lory then proceeded to inspect the cave, there was a bluish neon light coming from the surface of the lake, but what Lory saw was not a beautiful sight but a pile of human and animal bones, Lory also understood where the light was coming from, it seemed this light was coming from microorganisms devouring the remains the bone.

"Guys, come over here!" Lory called for Garrof and Lloyd to come over.

"What is it?" Garrof takes long strides toward Lory.

Lory pointed to the lake "Look! I think we are already in the Maren lair"

Garrof and Lloyd were startled to see the pile of bones under the lake.

[Lory!] Suddenly Zhao Li Xin calls him then calmly walks towards him then shows a dirty cell phone with cracked screen [I found it under a rock, from the look of it I think someone tried to hide it on purpose]

Lory took the phone from Zhao Li Xin's hand then checked its condition and saw a fancy stripes logo which could be read as 'EL but if unnecessary horizontal lines were taken out then the logo could also be read as 'H.

"It must belong to Ethan Hamilton." Garrof look at the cell phone then his brows knitted closely.

"How do you know?" Lory asked.

"The logo on the back denotes an exclusive phone given only to Hamilton's immediate family, Miss Lilliane says the phone is pack not only with anti-theft and anti-hacking not only that they also cast a protective spell that not only protects the phone from damaged but also shields any information from being taken away so only the owner of the cell phone or close family members can access it" Garrof explained.

"Even with so much security, someone's trying to hide it...could it be Ethan himself?" Lory was deep in thought.

"Let's save it for now after we got out we give that phone to Miss Lilliane later, she might be able to do something about it" Lloyd suggested.

suddenly there was a roar that broke the silence which made the stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave collapse with a breaking sound along with the place where they stood shook violently.

Lory raised a water shield to protect them from falling ice stalactites.

"SH*T!" Garrof pointed his rifle in the direction the beast was supposed to be.

Zhao Li Xin stood quietly, she looked in front of her with a deep expression, she didn't look the least bit worried or scared.

[What we hoped for, has finally come...] Zhao Li Xin said with a serene smile almost innocent but anyone who knows him full well would know nothing is innocent about him.

All of a sudden, a burst of icy wind blew Lory's water barrier for a second then froze then shattered into pieces. Lory raised his eyebrows but actually, he wasn't surprised just amazed that the beast seemed stronger than she thought.

"It's coming!" Lloyd shouted.
