Chapter 164 The Messenger of God, is that all?

Chapter 164 The Messenger of God, is that all?

When Maya saw Li Ang's face suddenly approach, her face instantly flushed red, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge away.

Upon hearing Li Ang's whisper, she paused for a moment, then repeated, "The thing inside?"

After thinking for a while, she understood what Li Ang meant.

The blush on her face quickly faded, and her shy expression turned into one of disgust. She lowered her voice and said, "Li Angqing—can you please stop saying such disgusting things? Olivia—she's a dragon, she shouldn't care about these things, right?"

Li Ang nodded, wisely ending the conversation.

The incident happened so suddenly, and Olivia ate so quickly, that Li Ang didn't have time to react.

So Li Ang didn't stop her at the time, but afterwards he felt a little disgusted.

But Li Ang was worried that this was actually just a very ordinary thing, and that he was making a fuss over nothing. That's why he thought of discussing it with Maya, the demi-human. But judging from Maya's reaction, she also couldn't accept this situation.

So Li Ang silently decided that next time Olivia was eating a whole beast, he should, as the captain, advise her to at least not eat the unprocessed intestines.

After all, he didn't want his team members to eat the contents of those intestines.

After traveling some distance, Li Ang keenly sensed that the surrounding thunderstorm energy seemed to be more concentrated and active, as if a powerful source was constantly attracting and releasing lightning.

His guess was soon confirmed; at a bend in a narrow pass, they saw a huge creature looming in the middle of the road.

The creature resembled a black panther magnified several times, nearly six meters long, with smooth, powerful muscle lines.

Its body was wrapped in countless leaping blue-white arcs of electricity, and its pair of beast eyes were made entirely of blazing electric light.

However, at this moment, the beast's limbs were slightly bent, and its body was lowered, as if it were crushed by an invisible burden, and the violent arcs of electricity on its body became extremely chaotic.

Its massive head was lowered towards Olivia, and a faint "groan" sound came from its throat.

"This is a level four magical beast, a Thunder Beast." Celia recognized the beast at a glance, but she was not alarmed, as if she knew that the beast posed no threat to them.

Upon hearing that it was a level four magical beast, the team members inside the carriage were all on high alert.

Eric even reached into his pocket and gripped his wand tightly, but without Leon's instruction, none of them dared to actually pull it out.

The moment Copperbeard saw Thunder Beast, his face turned deathly pale. Almost instinctively, he jumped off the carriage, ignoring the mud on the ground, and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Thunder Beast with a "plop".

He pleaded loudly in the dwarven language, "My Lord, please calm your anger. We had no intention of offending you. Please, my Lord, calm your anger and let us pass."

He pleaded and anxiously whispered to Li Ang, fearing the advisor might act rashly: "Advisor, this is the messenger of Thor, the god of thunder, according to our dwarven legends. You must not offend him!"

As Maya watched the bronze beard bowing repeatedly, she whispered to Leon, "In the ancient traditions of the dwarves, the Thunder Beast is indeed regarded as the messenger of Thor, the god of thunder, and a symbol of divine power."

Looking at the thunder beast that was trembling with fear in front of Olivia, like a kitten, Li Ang casually asked, "Thor? He lives in these mountains?"

Maya shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of detachment from the ancient legends: "The gods—have long since severed ties with the earth; they only exist in the priests' books and the old people's stories."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang smiled and looked at the ramrod straight-standing Meiya with a hint of amusement: "Your Highness, it seems you don't believe in these things?"

Maya raised her head, her emerald eyes gleaming with confidence: "Of course, the king of the dwarves only believes in the warhammer in his own hand. The future of my people shall be created by my own hands."

Just then, Olivia, whose path was blocked by the Thunder Beast and who was getting a little annoyed by Bronzebeard's incessant pleas, finally lost her patience.

She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and then let out a low roar imbued with the might of a dragon towards the trembling thunder beast: "Roar!"

The dragon's roar wasn't loud, but it carried the natural majesty of a superior race, crashing into the thunder beast as if it were a tangible object.

The thunder beast was terrified by the roar that contained the might of a dragon.

The Thunder Beast's body crackled with lightning, then it let out a mournful howl, tucked its tail between its legs, and transformed into a streak of blue lightning, darting miserably into the nearby forest and disappearing instantly.

Copperbeard stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his mind almost completely blank.

The supreme and divine messenger in his mind, representing the might of heaven, was actually scared away by a single shout from His Majesty's dragon companion?

The group resumed their journey. Perhaps to make up for the hardship of pulling the cart, Olivia, adhering to the principle of never wasting anything, ate the remaining five buckets of bean cakes that she had prepared for the Earth Beast as snacks.

However, judging from the furrowed brows she made while chewing, the rich flavor and rough texture of the bean cake clearly did not suit her excellent taste.

So, because of these few buckets of unpalatable bean cakes, Miss Red Dragon threw a tantrum, slowing down her pace as she pulled the cart, and occasionally glancing back at Li Ang with a resentful look.

Li Ang was somewhat helpless. It was clearly her own insistence on eating, but looking at the short distance left and at the sulking Olivia, he sighed helplessly and held up one finger: "Add another roasted snowflake beef."

Olivia then perked up and resumed pulling the cart at a normal speed.

Li Ang silently calculated in his mind: "This ox—let's include it in the enforcement team's mission expenses. It's a necessary expenditure to appease key combat personnel."

With Olivia pulling them tirelessly, they covered the remaining distance in just one day, a journey that would have taken the Earth Beast at least two days.

The oppressive thunderclouds and treacherous mountains of the Thunder Mountains were finally left behind, and ahead lay a relatively flat hilly area. In the distance, the outline of the Dwarf Kingdom's border outpost could already be seen.

To avoid causing unnecessary panic, Li Ang had Olivia revert to human form while they were still quite a distance from the outpost.

The group exited the carriage, carrying only necessary weapons, a small amount of water, and food, as instructed by Li Ang.

They left most of their supplies in the carriage and then proceeded on foot towards the rocky outpost that symbolized the gateway to the dwarf kingdom.

After traveling for about half an hour on the rugged hilly road, the dwarf outpost built of huge rocks came into clear view.

The outpost has a rugged and powerful overall style, with a dwarven banner with a warhammer and lightning bolt pattern flying at its top.
