The Hero in Exile

Rumble~

A powerful force erupted in the cave, and the powerful momentum made Lingyu Moran and his group, who were about to run out of the cave, feel the ground shaking.

"This guy is quite capable. It looks like he succeeded."

It was rare for Moran to praise Bronzebeard, especially when he thought that the things that restricted his power were about to be removed. The recent climbing mountains, wading through water, sleeping on rocks and eating dry food all felt much more meaningful.

"Hey, isn't that Bronzebeard behind? How come he's running so fast? I'm sure he'll be able to get the core so fast."

Because Bronzebeard's two short legs were so powerful, the other dwarves didn't even need to speed up to catch up with him, nor did they have to slow down.

"Is he saying something?"

Bronzebeard's face became clearer as he got closer. His mouth seemed to be lip-syncing to say something, but what was more worrying was the fear on his face and the snot that was running down his face.

"You can tell he's saying something."

Moran felt that something was not right with the development of the situation. Normally it would not happen so quickly, especially since he had clearly come out but the trembling of the earth had not faded at all.

On the contrary, it is increasing?

At this moment, Lingyu had no time to care about Tongxu's mouth shape. Who knows what was going on with such a big tuft of beard shaking there? The most important thing at the moment was that his snot was really exaggerated, and he was almost a failed man. And he was running towards her very quickly.

Lingyu kept slapping Moran on the back in an attempt to distance himself from a certain king.

"I can't tell what he's saying, but he's really sick right now. Run faster. I don't want that snot on me!"

Moran found an opportunity to secretly glance back, and the food in his stomach began to churn. The good impression he had of Bronzebeard just now disappeared in an instant.

Moran increased his speed as much as possible, it was disgusting enough to let that guy get close to him, not to mention Lingyu behind him, at least he would rather suffer the consequences himself.

But Bronzebeard's legs were like they were equipped with small electric motors, and his thighs, which were as hard as wooden stakes, left afterimages.

No matter how hard Moran tried, he was caught up by this guy. When he overtook him, he kept shouting, "Run faster, it's too late, the back of your car collapsed and he would die."

There was indeed a sound of the cave collapsing behind him, but the thing worth celebrating was that the snot was very sticky and still fell on his nose without being thrown everywhere.

……

"How is everything going, my Lord?"

The miners waiting outside couldn't help but become anxious when they saw the group of people running out in a hurry.

Not long after the few people came out, the cave inside collapsed completely.

"Phew, this time I'm really going to be screwed."

Bronzebeard's tone was full of self-abandonment. He walked to the luggage pile like a zombie, took out a kettle, cleaned the dirt off his face, and sat on the pile of rocks next to him, staring at the collapsed cave in a daze.

The soldiers who had not received orders did not dare to act rashly and could only pin their hopes on Moran and stare at him one by one.

Moran, who was resting on the side, couldn't stand the gazes from the crowd and prepared to stand up.

Lingyu pulled at the corner of Moran's clothes.

"It looks like he's not in a good mood, so please be polite when you speak."

"understood."

The soldier who heard the conversation cast a grateful look at Lingyu.

Moran walked up to Bronzebeard and, in full view of everyone, slapped him on the head.

slap~

The crisp sound petrified everyone around. How dare they do that?

Lingyu was just used to it after all he had almost no good feelings towards the human race, so he was already restrained by not kicking him.

"Hey, why are you so dejected? Isn't everything going according to your plan? Hurry up and tell me what happened. I'm still waiting for the seal to be lifted."

"I underestimated him."

"What? You didn't get rid of it. I really don't know what to say to you, but it looks like it was badly damaged too. Should that solve it?"

"That's the problem." Bronzebeard took out his storage bag, with a very obvious gap. "Originally, this was used to store other elemental cores in case I failed to defeat him. Unfortunately, one of the cores fell out when I was fighting him, and that guy took the opportunity to absorb them all."

As he spoke, Bronzebeard picked up the kettle and took another sip, then continued speaking with a melancholy look on his face.

"Now he is burying himself inside to absorb the core. I dare not imagine the power of a divine blood elemental monster after absorbing it. Maybe after he finishes absorbing it, he will have the power of an ancient elemental lord, and the dwarf city may dissipate in my hands."
