Chapter 231 - Burden (2/2)

However, the reason why Jess did not directly go forward to fight was because he knew that he was very weak.

This was also the reason why he took the initiative to cooperate with Mike and Timus.

But now, Mike had already said so. He could not be afraid of fighting, right?

“F*ck, I’ll catch you!”

The young elven guard naturally could not stand Mike’s simple provocation. He immediately raised the long spear in his hand and rushed over.

Mike really wanted to ask him whether that f*ck was used to curse the thieves or that the elf had just called his name.

But in the end, he did not retort. He just quietly watched from the side. The reason why he did not go up to help was very simple.

On the one hand, he was too lazy to make a move. This kind of small-timed thieves would definitely be enough to hand over to Timus. At least these guys definitely would not be able to hurt Timus. This was something that Mike was completely at ease with. After all, Timus was someone who had fought with the god of fire, Ragnaros.

Even though it was just a doppelganger.

Even though he had won with some help.

But killing a god was still killing a god. It was very difficult for ordinary humans to defeat Timus.

Therefore, Mike treated it as a test for Timus. It was also necessary for him to adapt to fighting an agile enemy.

As for the other reason, it was because Mike had to guard the entrance.

This was to prevent any of the three thieves from escaping with the now Dagger of Meredith.

Of course, Mike did not stay idle while he stood guard.

His eyes wandered around the room as he tried to find his lost item. He was still unsure what form it had taken.

He had yet to find it even though he had looked everywhere in the room.

Mike frowned slightly and shifted his gaze to an iron door in the corner. There were three locks on this iron door, and there seemed to be faint magical fluctuations. It seemed to have some kind of rune enchantment.

With such tight security, it did not need to be guessed that this was most likely a vault.

His Umbrella of Meredith was most likely in this vault!

At this moment, the voice of Baldy suddenly came from the room.

“Don’t move, if you move again, I’ll kill this kid!”

Mike frowned slightly and turned to look.

While he was distracted, the guard had been taken hostage by Baldy.

At this moment, Jess’ long spear had also fallen to the ground. His neck was held by the short knife in Baldy’s hand, and he dared not to move at all.

When Ruby and Crow saw this scene, they stopped their evasive actions and slowly walked to Baldy’s side.

Obviously, they already had the advantage.

It was likely that these two guys in black cloaks would not just watch this young guard die.

Timus looked at Jess, who was being held hostage and helplessly lowered the sword in his hand.

“I knew I shouldn’t have brought this guy along!” He complained helplessly.

Jess’ face instantly showed guilt.

Jess originally wanted to do his duty as a guard, but he did not expect to become a burden to them.

Baldy’s eyes moved back and forth between Timus and Mike, and his footsteps slowly moved towards Mike at the entrance.

“You despicable little bastard, get out of my way!”

Baldy cursed at Mike. At this time, he still had a proud and arrogant smile on his face. He felt that he would be able to escape successfully.

As long as he could get out of here, everything would be easy.

After that, he just needed to kill the young guard and find an empty place to dump the body.

This plan was perfect in the eyes of Baldy.

But the next moment, he found that there was a strong pain and constriction coming from his neck.

A strong smell of blood filled the room..
