Chapter 957: The Most Powerful Local Boss
But before Gu Mengmeng could open her mouth, Natalie cut in. “Let him follow you. He has more experience interacting with the Zacharias tribe and it would be good to have him along.”
Gu Mengmeng agreed after thinking about it. After all, even a strong practitioner would find it difficult to handle the local stronghold. And Peter was clearly the most powerful local boss here.
With him around, Leonard would think twice before trying anything funny. Offending the Messenger of the Beast Deity and a stray beast at the same time would be like going against the powers of both good and evil. Would his Zacharias have the ability to wage a battle on these two fronts?
Gu Mengmeng said with a nod. “Then I shall have to trouble you.”
Peter didn’t say anything more. Elvis also couldn’t be bothered to talk to them and so just carried Gu Mengmeng back to their own cave, with the three little ones tagging along.
They had been much delayed because of the heavy rains, so Gu Mengmeng didn’t do much preparations. They immediately set off for Zacharias the next morning, which was not that far off from the stray beast camp. Therefore, the five of them—Gu Mengmeng, Elvis, Lea, Wabei and Peter—arrived at the borders of Zacharias by noon.
Perhaps of the long years battling against stray beasts, Zacharias’ territorial behavior was more vigorous than Saint Nazaire’s, or even Sauder’s. A two-meter wide space surrounding their territory had been intentionally cleared of all vegetation. On one side of the empty strip stood Gu Mengmeng and her party, while the other side stood a group of patrolling beasts.
Their patrolling was not carried out in a haphazard or random manner, but was well-coordinated with no gaps.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled as she observed them.
This formation gave off the vibe of an army camp from the ancient times.
Just that all the swords and guns had been replaced with claws and fangs.
They had just taken one step into the empty strip when the patrolling beasts were immediately alerted and came forward to block their advance.
Perhaps they had never met Gu Mengmeng before but just her looks alone was enough to distinguish her high status. The further presence of Elvis and Lea guarding her so closely—such a formation clearly marked out her status.
Moreover...
A fifth-level snake beast—how could there be another in this world?
Gu Mengmeng was full of smiles as she leaned one elbow against Elvis’ shoulder and propped her cheek on her palm. As she was being carried by Elvis, she now had the rare opportunity to look down upon other males from a high vantage point. She said with a teasing smile, “Did your leader invite me over just to shut the door in my face?”
The person who was standing in their way bowed to Gu Mengmeng. “The Great Messenger can come in anytime she wants. But not the others.”
“Oh?” Gu Mengmeng raised one brow. “Ha, since coming to the Beast World, this is the first time anyone has dared to impose their regulations on me.”
“We seek your kind understanding, Great Messenger.” The beast guard apologized but he didn’t move aside. He had no intention of giving way.
Gu Mengmeng seemed to understand what Peter meant when he said it was not worth it to provoke Zacharias.
Looking at the five people on her side: a Messenger of the Beast Deity possessing the powers of a Beast King, three fifth-level beasts and a fourth-level beast.—who wouldn’t go soft in the knees by just looking at such a group? But this mere guard was able to block them without being obsequious or arrogant. It was clear what kind of strict and intense military training he had undergone.
An impish desire to create trouble brewed inside Gu Mengmeng, as she asked with a grin, “What if I refuse to comply? What are you going to do?”
