113 When You Have To Carry Your Team (1/2)

(MC POV)

After slapping the guy awake, I got him to spill out what he knew about the dragon.

Apparently this elf is some sort of Seer and he needs a scale from the dragon to give us a rough location of it. For some reason, I didn't even need to ask before he immediately told me everything he knew about the Technique and begged me to release him.

Well, not that I was really after it, but I won't say no to a gift.

So in the end, I figured out that Arza was only here to track this Dererei guy so that he could actually do the real tracking of the Dragon that had been 'terrorizing the lands'.

Not sure about the terrorizing part since if a Myriad Colours Dragon wanted to, it could just burn this entire Plane out of existence.

Could I just remind everyone that I'm here to have an easy life? Why the hell are all these problems being heaped onto me huh?

Now I'm starting to think that locking myself up in my courtyard and doing nothing but cultivating would be the easier option.

Ok nah. I'll probably be bored out of my mind within the first day and besides, I got other people to worry about now.

He pointed us to a cave of monsters nearby that he knew the Dragon had been seen around before, telling us that we should be able to find at least one scale in there. He then promptly ran off into the distance.

Was I really that scary? Eh, maybe he's just a scaredy cat.

Henry stepped forwards, his mace and shield already sheathed, ”Ah I know that cave, it's quite an infamous monster nest that no one has been able to clear so far. The cave's full of these spider type monsters that breed extremely fast and swarm intruders immediately upon entry. I remember some Adventurer teams attempting to subjugate it before but they never returned.”

Lance spat on the ground, ”Damnit, we don't have enough manpower for a monster nest extermination now!”

I stood up and cracked my knuckles, ”I just need to find one of its scales right? I'll be right back.”

Arza snapped out of her trance, ”Wait! You can't be serious about going to the cave right now?!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

I raised an eyebrow at her, ”What? Why not? Just pop in, burn some spiders, get the scale and pop back out. Simple.”

Arza grabbed my arm to stop me, ”Those aren't normal giant spiders you moron! You may be able to teleport but those spiders flood the entire cave! You won't have a safe place to teleport to!”

”Not to mention those spiders are the Armored Swarm Spiders, their skin is too tough for even swords to cut through! You'll be slaughtered!” Henry added.

I shook the elf's arm off, ”They're just spiders in the end. Nothing a good fire can't solve.”

The elf wrung her arms in the air, ”Arrgh! You don't even know what those spiders are! One of their base characteristics is that they're fire-pro--”

”Bah, the kid wants to go and jump into the monster nest, let him!” Lance interrupted, putting his hand on the elf's shoulder to stop her. ”Just don't drag us into it!”

I shrugged, ”Never invited you.”

Ignoring them, I trekked my way towards the cave which was just a short distance from here. From what the other elf had said, it should be near the mountain's rock face within a clearing.

”Damn it Lance! I won't have a kid's death riding on my conscience!” Arza yelled, pushing him away to run up to me. ”Stop it, kid! This mission just got a lot more complicated! We need more than a single party to complete this!”

”And I already told you, I don't have the time for that. Relax, I know what I'm doing,” I rebutted, not slowing down my pace.

Arza sped up to match my speed, ”You're what? Eight? What the hell do you know?!”

”Enough to get by. Now if you aren't here to help me with the spider monsters, just go back, thanks.”

”Damnit, you leave me no choice!”

She raised her arm before swinging it down in a chopping motion towards my neck, trying to knock me out.

I ducked underneath her strike, letting it sail over my head harmlessly.

”Please don't do that again,” I warned. ”I'm fine with you not coming with me. In fact, I don't even care if I don't get any credit for this Request. Just don't get in my way.”

I glared at her to get my point across before continuing my way.

(Arza POV)

I cannot believe this.

I should have known something was wrong with this kid the moment I saw him.
