Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2695

However, after mulling over his options, Zeke still chose to wash his head by himself.

He still wasn't used to physical interaction with women other than Lacey.

Hence, he bent down and prepared to wash his head.

Just as his hand was about to touch the water, Phoenix darted toward him, grabbed his hand, and stopped him. “I'm impressed by how utterly stubborn you are, so much so that you would rather hurt yourself than let me wash your head. I don't know why you're acting so modest when I'm totally fine with this. Can you man up a little?”

After she ended her sentence, she forcefully washed Zeke's head for him.

A sigh of resignation left his lips. Fine, whatever. I'll just treat her as a barber. After she's done, I'll pay her for her service.

It didn't take long for Sole Wolf and the others to reach the primeval forest sitting in the center of Theos Island.

It took less than half an hour for them to cross the entire island since they were Ultimate Class warriors.

Just as they arrived in the forest, Sole Wolf spotted a black boar.

Cheerfully, he muttered the names of various pork dishes under his breath before exclaiming, “Looks like we're eating good tonight, boys!”

Just as he was about to chase after the boar, Killer Wolf stopped him. “Don't kill it, Sole Wolf.”

Dissatisfied, Sole Wolf questioned, “Why? Don't tell me he's your relative. Or are you suddenly feeling compassionate?”

“F*ck you, man.” Killer Wolf barked, “You're his relative! Your whole family is his relative!”

“That's right, he's my relative, and I'm still going to kill him. What are you going to do about it?”

That rendered Killer Wolf speechless. So Wolf's willing to call a boar his relative just to get a bite of its meat. Unbelievable.

Then, he uttered, “Just listen to me, all right? You mustn't hunt the young in this place. If you do, there will be consequences.”

Sole Wolf, Nameless, and Ares were slightly stunned. “Wait, what did you say? What do you mean by 'don't hunt the young?' Are you telling us that one-meter-tall boar is a boarlet?”

Shrugging, Killer Wolf answered, “Yes, that thing is just a boarlet.”

The group was bewildered.

If that boarlet is larger than an adult pig in the outside world, how humongous is the adult boar here? Sole Wolf wondered.

“The adult boars here are about the size of an ordinary camel,” Killer Wolf replied.

Clicking his tongue, Sole Wolf uttered with anticipation, “A boar as big as a camel... Haha! It seems like there'll be a feast today!”

“Every plant and animal in this place is several times larger than their normal counterparts we're familiar with, so please pay close attention when discerning if an animal is an adult or not. If you accidentally attack a young, we'll suffer major repercussions.”

“What kind of repercussions?”

“We're not too sure about the details, but we do know that if you attack a young, the same amount of force will be reflected on you. Just be mindful of your actions. I suspect there's an invisible power protecting the young in this forest from harm.”

The group members exchanged a glance with each other. “An invisible force? What kind? Is it related to Theos?”

Ares was more knowledgeable, so he speculated, “I think the invisible force may be rules!”

The group became even more confused. “What rules?”

“Everything in existence has its own rules, like plants, animal reproduction, and the inevitable death of all life. For example, without water, any living creatures will die. That's one of the basic rules in our world. The world here has one more rule compared to ours, which is that those who attack the young of animals and plants will be punished. Everything here must obey that rule, regardless of where they come from.”
