Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2305

Sole Wolf wasn't worried about Zeke's safety. Crippled Williams is no threat to the Great Marshal.

Sole Wolf looked up at the sun and probed, “Should we start our hike tomorrow? It's already too late today. The sun will have set by the time we reach Golden Sands Mountain. It'll be dangerous then.”

Crippled Williams was annoyed. “Scared? You don't have to come with me if you are. Tell you guys what. The only reason I'm willing to take you to the mountain is that I'm in the mood, but I might change my mind tomorrow.”

Sole Wolf and Ares exchanged glances at his words.

In all honesty, Sole Wolf didn't mind heading up the mountain at that instant. After all, the faster he got there, the higher the chances of Killer Wolf's survival.

The only reason he asked was to probe Crippled Williams.

Crippled Williams wants us to reach Golden Sands Mountain by nightfall. Does he have an ulterior motive?

Their wariness toward Crippled Williams heightened.

Sole Wolf said, “Let's go then. We'll follow you. Better to get there as soon as we can.”

Crippled Williams hobbled as he led them at the front.

Even though one of his legs was lame, his walking speed wasn't any slower than that of any other average person.

Their hike wasn't fast, but it wasn't too slow either.

With their speed, they would reach Golden Sands Mountain just after nightfall.

Meanwhile, Zeke had exuded some of his energy and was patiently scanning the tombstone.

After a round of scrutinizing, Zeke confirmed the grave was empty. I don't see a bone in there, let alone a corpse.

Above the mound, however, he caught something familiar. These are cursed parasitic worms!

Zeke's guard went up when he sensed the cursed parasitic worms.

Our motive here is to search for Cesar and rescue Killer Wolf. Cesar is most likely the elder of the Black Muraco Clan.

So what does it mean? The discovery of a cursed parasitic worm on the tomb of Crippled Williams' brother. It means Crippled Williams is probably working with Cesar. The phenomena on the Golden Sands Mountain is most likely related to Cesar. I'm sure Crippled Williams is using the cursed parasitic worm to monitor me.

After a thorough scan of the entire grave, Zeke soon found the cursed parasitic worm.

It looked like some sort of spider but was odd-looking with a fiery red pattern on its back.

Zeke didn't dare to risk killing the insect with force.

If I deal with the cursed parasitic worm forcefully, that worm will inform Crippled Williams. My plan will be a bust then.

After mulling it over, the Progenitor of White Muraco Clan came to his mind.

It's best to use a cursed parasitic worm to deal with another cursed parasitic worm.

Zeke called for White with his telepathy.

Zeke asked, “Whitey, have you and Dawnie returned to White Muraco Clan safely?”

White answered, “Yep, we just got back.”

Perhaps White was grateful to Zeke for allowing it to bring Dawnie back with it, so it didn't object to being called Whitey.

Zeke said, “That's great. I need your help.”

White questioned, “What do you need my help with?”

Zeke answered, “I want you to force a cursed parasitic worm to submit to you.”

White immediately complained, “Hang on. I just forced a submission from another cursed parasitic worm. I'm exhausted. My strength is at an all-time low. I won't have the energy to get up even if you put a female beside me. Yet, you want me to force another worm to submit to me now? Do you want me to die from exhaustion?”

Zeke hurriedly explained, “Rest assured. This one is weak. I trust that you can easily overpower it.”

White mocked, “Now, listen carefully, Zeke. You can't take advantage of me like this. Nothing you say will work this time. I don't want to risk my life working for you.”

Zeke sighed. “What a pity.”
