Chapter 97

“You re not a burden. Lioren Suddenly spoke up, he rarely sided with Elmer Simer’s plan is the most efficient I’ll scout ahead, Clive will cover the rear, and Rafe will keep watch in the middle. That’s the best setup

Rafe nodded. ‘I agree. Getting to camp safely is our main goal.”

Clive paused for a moment, then finally agreed. “Fine.”

Elme walked over to Dora and half-squatted in front of her.

Dora hesitated for a moment, but finally got onto his back.

His back felt broader than it looked.

Dora wrapped her arms around his neck, and Elmer hooked his hands under her knees, standing up steadily with her

“Am I heavy?” she asked softly.

“Not at all!” Elmer replied, his voice full of obvious joy. “Dora, you’re so

light.”

The group set off again.

Elmer picked up the pace, moving at a brisk run, yet his steps stayed steady.

Dora could feel the firm muscles in his back tensing and relaxing as he moved, his body heat radiating through the comba suit.

The way they were positioned felt almost too intimate.

Her chest rested snug against his back, her breath warming the nape of his neck.

She watched as Elmer’s ears flushed bright red.

“Dora… His voice was rough, a little shaky. “D-Don’t move…”

“I’m not moving,” Dora replied, all innocence, but a smile crept onto hepface anyway.

He’s just too pure, like a little puppy,’ Dora thought, amused.

Clive followed about ten feet behind them, his eyes locked on their backs, his gaze brooding and intense

Lioren scouted ahead, but every so often, his ears would swivel back, as if he was keeping tabs on what was happening

behind him.

Rafe walked along the side, his blue eyes sweeping between Elmer and Dora, a thicker of something complicated in t

“Elmer,” Dora suddenly spoke up. “You used to carry me like this when we were kids, remember

Elmer tensed up for a second, then relaxed. Yeah. I remember You were tunteen we went out to play and yet twisted your ankle. I was the one who carried you all the way back home

“You were way skinnier back then, and not even as tall as me.” Dora chuckled. Your carried me for almost two miles, and your arms were shaking the whole night after we got home

Sajidn’t matter would always carry you. Dora, you’ve always been important to me.” Elmer murmured, his voice nearly drowned out by the rain. That was true before, it’s true now, and it always will be”

Dora felt a warm rush in her chest, and without thinking, she tightened her arms around him

Elmer felt her move, and his heart started pounding even harder.

He could clearly feel the soft curves of her body pressed against his back, and her hair carried a light, sweet scent

“Elmer, she suddenly said, “thanks for always being by my side.”

Elmer’s body gave a slight shiver, his voice husky. “Of course. You’re the most important person to me.

“Dora…” he called her name again, but this time there was something different in his voice.

“Hmm?” she murmured.

“If… if I told you I’ve wanted to be your beast mate ever since we were little, would you laugh at me?” Elnier asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Dora was quiet for a few seconds, then said, “No.”

Elmer slowed his steps for a second.

“Because I know you’re serious about this,” Dora said softly.

She rested her chin on his shoulder. “Elmer, we’re already family now. Some things… need time.”

“I get it,” Elmer replied, his voice growing lighter again. “I’ll wait, no matter how long it takes.”

Even though they kept their voices down, the beastfolk had crazy good hearing, there was no way their conversation went unnoticed.

Clive’s lips tightened into a straight line, Lioren’s tail flicked with irritation, and Rafe dropped his gaze. nobody could tell what was on his mind.

After they’d gone another mile, the temperature was hovering right around freezing.

The rain turned to sleet, rattling noisily against Elmer’s shield.

Clive lifted his hand, motioning for the group to halt. “Hold up.”

His eyes narrowed. “There’s something moving up ahead.”

Lioren arched his back, a low warning growl rumbling in his throat

“What’s wrong?” Dora slid off Elmer’s back and gripped the pistol at her waist

“Something’s not right up ahead,” Clive murmured Thoren and I will go check it out

“Elmer, Rafe, you two, keep Dora sale”

Lioren nodded, his body growing larger as he moved with the speed and grace of a leopard darting ahead Clive was right

behind him.

Five minutes later, Chive and Lioren returned.

Both of them had fresh blood staining their clothes, but their expressions stayed alm.

“There was a wounded Level 5 Ironclad Rhino up ahead, trying to get away. Clive said simply. “We took care of it while we

were at it

Dora paused, a bit stunned. “Ironclad Rhino? Is that a quest from the training zone?

Lioren nodded. “Yeah, it’s just up ahead.”

Rafe asked curiously. “Did the Level 5 Ironclad Rhino have a crystal core?” He still hadn’t gotten over the shock from finding so many crystal cores earlier.

Clive and Lioren both shook their heads.

Elmer muttered under his breath, “Figures. Without Dora here, the crystal core drop rate is really low.”

Rafe picked up on what Elmer was really saying.

So they must’ve scored a bunch of crystal cores back in the training zone.

As they kept moving forward, Dora sucked in a sharp breath when they got close to the Ironclad Rhino.

This Level 5 alien beast was as big as a small truck, but now it was lying on its side. Clive had delivered the finishing blow right to its neck, killing it instantly.

“Clive’s seriously impressive,” Elmer muttered under his breath.

Dora stepped forward, pressed her palm against the Ironclad Rhino’s corpse, and stored it away in her stasis space.

Once Dora had stored the Ironclad Rhino in her stasis space, the group stuck to their usual formation and continued on toward the temporary camp.

After half an hour, they were finally nearing their destination. Everyone was just about to relax and let out a breath of tehet

A terrifying blast of wind came slicing in from the side, so fast it was barely visible to the naked eye

“Watch out!” Elmer reacted in a flash, pulling Dora down with him as his golden shield instantly expand, a to us tud ins
