Chapter 333. Ambush By Lake (1/2)
After arriving at the spatial passage, the massive Eight-foot Giant raised his hand and barked, "Hey! Stop right there! Where do you think you’re going?"
The Raptor came to a halt, confused. "But... Master called everyone. Didn’t he?"
"Then who’s going to guard the Azure Dragon’s corpse, huh?" Lady Fox narrowed her eyes. "You stay here. We’ll explain it to the boss ourselves."
Raptor hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded. "Alright."
The two entered the spatial passage, leaving Raptor behind. He let out a low sigh and turned his gaze toward the distant lake, where a group of slaves were still struggling to drag the enormous Azure Dragon corpse across the shallow waters. He flew over with a crackle of energy, a lightning-infused whip in his hand, his presence immediately casting a heavy shadow over the weary workers.
Seeing him arrive, the slaves froze. The oppressive aura and the faint scent of burnt air from the whip was enough to make their knees tremble.
"What are you staring at? Get back to work—!"
Before he could finish, something shot from our if nowhere at high speed and crashed into him, sending Raptor flying through the air and plunging into the lake with a massive splash.
The slaves screamed and scattered, some stumbling into the shallow water, others hiding behind the corpse, too afraid to even breathe.
