Chapter 996: “Scob’s Sacrifice”

Thanks to the mushroom, they had been running away from the mammoth in a circle for about fifteen minutes. 

For a full fifteen minutes, the giant mammoth couldn’t touch them at all, almost making the mammoth go crazy on the spot.

[AHHHH! Despicable coward humans! Don’t hide! ARGGHH!] 

The mammoth went crazy, and the earth trembled hard. 

Scob and Lescorpio were both hiding inside the weird mushroom that had quite a high intelligence and looked like a battle beast or something. 

But the mushroom was a plant! It grew from a weird seed too! Weird! 

Lescorpio didn’t have time to ask Scob about the mushroom because, judging from their situation…they couldn’t escape forever. 

Cold sweat trickled down Lescorpio and Scob’s foreheads. 

Both of them were huddled together inside the mushroom’s cap while waiting for the mammoth to go away because he couldn’t find them. 

Both men were also worried, mainly because Scob was injured heavily and he really needed proper medical care. 

The mushroom’s weird structure did help Scob to save his life, but it wasn’t the final solution. 

While looking at his amputated legs and arm, Scob let out a long sigh. 

“Lescorpio. I think the mammoth won’t leave until he kills someone. How about you escape with the mushroom and leave me behind?” 

The two men were currently living inside the mushrom’s cap full of soft, springy flesh that could absorb tremor and help them to stay comfortable. 

Although the mushroom’s defensive skill was close to zero, it could run fast and could dig underground. 

So far, it was hiding pretty well from the mammoth. 

But it would be found sooner or later. 

It was still a long way to go to the city wall, and they might not be able to escape, especially when the mammoth also ordered all the surrounding beasts to find them. 

Beasts with a sharp nose could find them anytime and beasts who could dig underground would also catch them sooner or later. 

“Just…toss me to the mammoth and run while the mammoth is distracted.” 

Scob wanted to sacrifice his life! 

Lescorpio’s cold face instantly became colder. 

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?! I’ve been fighting a horde of the beast and come here to save you– it’s not for you to throw your life away so easily!” 

It was a miracle for the four of them to live this far when they were thrown in the middle of the beast and monster tide. 

No wonder they were a part of the top 1% force, and even when some of them weren’t an offensive-type of ability user, they still could survive this far. 

But Scob wanted to sacrifice himself to save others! Why would he do that when they both had survived so far? 

“Don’t give up! The reinforcement must be here soon, and then they will save us! Or maybe the little boss’ sacred beasts are on the way– ” 

Both men suddenly remembered Ainsley, who should be thrown into the same tide yet was nowhere to be seen. 

The two people gradually went silent. 

“The little boss…is she okay? Even if her sacred beasts come to help, I think they will help her first…” 

They didn’t know which monsters and beasts attacked Ainsley, but they must be strong. 

Ainsley should be the strongest among them, and the enemy might want to kill her first. 

Maybe the baby was now surrounded by tons of unique monsters and beasts, unable to leave. 

Just imagining this scene gave them goosebumps. 

Lescorpio was also besieged from all sides and almost lost his life several times. 

He was injured here and there, but because of his special ability, he remained alive. 

However, he didn’t know if Ainsley could be the same? 

Both Lescorpio and Scob were worried about Ainsley despite knowing that the baby had the Godfather with her and she should be alright. 

Still, thinking that she might be in a more dangerous situation than them really made them lose their will to fight. 

In the end, Ainsley was a child. 

As the adults, they should be the one protecting her, but it seemed that it was the opposite. 

Just when the two men were in despair over their situation, the giant mammoth outside suddenly roared. 

“ROAAAARRR!” 

[Fck, a sacred beast! What are you doing here??] 

The giant mammoth was shocked when he saw a gigantic black panther suddenly rushed toward him from the sky. 

T-this black panther…his aura is so strong. He should be a senior sacred beast who has been able to speak human words. 

Not to mention his bloodline…isn’t that the underworld’s guardian, the black panther? 

Such a bloodline is rare and especially strong when fighting in a place with so many corpses. 

The giant mammoth didn’t have time to care about the two cowardly humans and went to fight Bello, who suddenly came to attack him. 

At the same time, the other beasts who were trying to find the two humans were ordered to stop. 

Instead of wasting time finding the two humans, how about bringing more damage to the city wall first? 

Anyway, even if these beasts found the two humans, the mammoth didn’t believe that these beasts could kill the two men. 

The surrounding beasts retreated and went to attack the city wall’s barrier instead. 

Out of the blue, no one stacked Lescorpio and Scob. Not even the giant mammoth! 

The two men were worried for a while but after not finding anyone attacking them for a long time, they finally realized that something was not right. 

“Did they…retreat or something?” Scob held his breath as he controlled the mushroom mutant to go up, back to the surface. 

Let’s see what’s going on!
