Chapter 2828 Running Into A Pangolin

Zeke told Ares, “Ares, use the Dark Level divine weapon to trap the tail!”

“Got it!” Ares replied.

He leaped into the air and landed on the ground, aiming his divine weapon at the creature's tail to attempt to pin it to the ground.

Zeke was concerned that the Dark Level divine weapon alone wouldn't be enough to subdue the creature, so he summoned his energy to morph into Dragon King Sword, which he used to help pin the creature's tail to the ground.

Zeke's Dragon King Sword wasn't crafted using spiritual iron, but it was as powerful as a Mid Dark Level divine weapon. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Both Dark Level divine weapons successfully pinned the tail to the ground.

The creature let out a deafening roar of agony and thrashed about, colliding with the nearby mountains with its massive body.

Simultaneously, its body rapidly decreased in size, and within a moment, it returned to its normal size.

By then, everyone finally saw its true form—it was a pangolin.

The pangolin was in critical condition, with blood seeping out of its orifices and its breathing labored. It appeared as if the pangolin could die at any moment.

Sole Wolf sighed. “We defeated this primordial beast with ease. It seems we've overestimated their power, and Minotaur might be the strongest creature around here.”

Zeke shook his head. “It isn't that simple. Didn't you notice that the pangolin is severely injured?”

Sole Wolf answered, “Yes, I noticed that. Wasn't that our doing?”

Zeke shook his head. “I don't think so. I suspect the pangolin was already badly hurt before we showed up. I'll go check it out, so cover me.”

“Cover? Cover what?” Sole Wolf was baffled.

Zeke expressed his concerns, “I'm worried that the pangolin might be feigning its injuries. It could be using it as a ploy to draw us closer before unleashing a powerful attack to eliminate us all at once.”

Sole Wolf nodded solemnly. “Okay.”

His entire body was tensed up, ready to slaughter the pangolin if it were to take action.

Zeke approached the pangolin cautiously as it trembled in fear.

He noticed the pangolin was giving him a pleading look.

Is the pangolin begging for me to spare it? Most of the primordial beasts are sentient, so it is normal for this pangolin to beg for my forgiveness.

When Zeke came nearer, the pangolin suddenly stood up and raised its paws, pouncing toward Zeke.

The pangolin may have reverted to its original size, but it was still relatively large, about the size of a small crocodile. When it stood on its hind legs, it was as tall as an average adult human.

Besides, its claws were sharp and swift. Zeke couldn't react in time.

Fortunately, Sole Wolf and the rest were keeping an eye on the pangolin. The moment it sprang into action, they immediately attacked it.

Before the pangolin's claws could land on Zeke's body, it was thrown to the ground by Sole Wolf and the rest and spat out a mouthful of blood yet again.

Zeke's fury surged through him as he channeled a powerful energy to immobilize the pangolin's body. The creature let out a piercing scream as its eyes bulged out of their sockets in agony.

The pangolin's sound rang in Zeke's mind. “Spare me! Sir, please have mercy on me!”

The pangolin lacked the ability to communicate in human language and could only convey its thoughts in a rudimentary way through its senses.

Zeke said icily, “You tried to kill me and threatened my safety. You deserve to die one hundred times. I shall give you a chance to choose your favorite way to die.”

The pangolin was on the verge of tears. “Sir, please spare me. I had no choice!”

Zeke scoffed. “No choice? All right. I'll give you a chance to explain yourself.”

“Uh... Well...” The pangolin seemed stumped.

Zeke added, “If you refuse to say anything, I'll have no choice but to kill you.”

The pangolin pleaded, “Please, sir, let me explain. I'll be honest with you. I suffered a severe internal injury and came across a Rejuvenation Grass here. It's essential for my recovery, but the grass hasn't matured yet. So, I've been standing guard here to protect it. When I saw you all approaching and almost stepping on the grass, I had no choice but to take action to force you to take another route. I didn't mean to harm you.”
