Chapter 33 A handsome goblin’s sadness (2/2)
He was really familiar here!
He easily led Shaar’s group through the mountain, crossed the jungle, across a rugged hillside and climbed a steep cliff.
They spent six days on this journey.
In those six days, Ada also revealed a strange behaviour:
He occasionally spoke with Shaar and even faced the lowly goblin with an amiable attitude and manner.
However! Whenever when he faced the pitiful creature, Mr. Ada never showed a slightest friendliness. Looking closer, he even gave her some malicious look and cold shoulder with a hint of disgust.
This made the pitiful creature very depressed.
The hillbilly saw her as someone ugly, but this handsome Ada did not make any sense. He acted as if she was infected with some terrible disease and avoided her with his eyes like pest! This attitude ……
Was simply absurd!!
Someone with Adeline’s identity would never have thought that the two human men she met in Primal Wildfire would both be weirdos!
On the sixth day, even Shaar could not tolerate Ada’s attitude towards the pitiful creature anymore.
“In fact……you shouldn’t discriminate against the pitiful creature.” Shaar determined to persuade him, after all, they were all companions now.
“I hate people with an ugly appearance.” Ada replied coldly.
This reply made the pitiful creature nearly spit blood.
What’s wrong with this world!
Taking the hillbilly aside! Was this Ada blind or someone abnormal?!
Right now ……In this flash, the pitiful creature could not help but to get some crazy thoughts and even her confidence in her appearance started to waver: Am I really a very ugly person? Were the men just complimenting me because of my high status and intentionally lied to me?
“Ah……Actually, he is quite pitiful.” Shaar answered very sincere: “His look was given by his parents, being ugly cannot blamed on him.”
“I hate all the thing that are not beautiful and perfect in this world.” Ada replied categorically and his tone even had a pious flavor: “If you had not a bit of your wild manliness, I would not even speak to you right now.”
Hearing this, Shaar immediately became happy and gave up on attending the grievance of the pitiful creature and forcefully patted Ada on his shoulder: “Hahaha! That is natural, we are both handsome men!!”
However, he suddenly frowned: “Eh ……You dislike the pitiful creature, but what about Oaks? Oaks’ appearance ……”
Ada shook his head: “In the cultural standard of Goblins, Oaks counts as a very handsome man for a goblin.”
Alright!
Pitiful creature received an internal injury: This hillbilly still thought that I am better than a goblin, but this Ada unexpectedly believed that my appearance was inferior to a goblin?!
(Tears streamed down Oak’s face: Ouke, Ouke ~ me, handsome male)
When the sun descended, Ada led our little group to an open swamp.
The terrain here was very strange. This piece of swamp was about hundred meters wide and on both sides there were large quagmires which seemed boundless.
“In order to arrive at the lair, this in the only entrance.” Ada pointed across the swamp – about 200 meters away there was a forest: “If we walk past this swamp, across that forest, the lair is behind the mountain.”
When Shaar observed this swamp, his heart suddenly began to get alerted maybe just say alert. The air was dry and hot, the temperature here even made them sweat!
He looked at the quagmires on both sides: “Here ……”
“Did you notice? The quagmires on both sides are all unpassable. You will get stuck deep inside and below is a bottomless pit. Furthermore, we are unable to go around such big quagmire. Only this narrow stretch of 100 meters has a very thin hard soil above and we can only? run fast over it. If we run slowly, the hard soil above will collapse ……If you fall down, I assure that you will die.”
Ada smiled: “However, the hard soil above the swamp also isn’t easy to pass.”
Saying this, he casually pulled out a pheasant from Shaar’s leather bag – this pheasant was caught by Shaar last night and he wanted to keep it as midnight snack.
After Ada grabbed this pheasant with colorful feathers, he threw it onto the swamp. Regaining its freedom, the pheasant cheerfully squeaked several times and dashed forward on the hard soil……After it ran about ten meters, the hard soil started to transform and the ground suddenly started to caved in, then……
With a loud bang! A huge pillar of fire spurted from the ground and it pouted out flames of four five meters high!!
When the flames went down, the colorful pheasant turned into a grilled chicken! Then suddenly, the flame pillar suddenly dissipated and the hard soil on the ground resurfaced. Several bubbles restored their original appearance on the surface. From afar, Shaar immediately smelled a strong smell of sulphur and the hot steaming air obstructed their breathing.
“Damn! What the hell?!” Shaar exclaimed with a shocked look.
“Did you see that?” Ada turned his head and when he saw Shaar’s shocked face, he said with a smile: “This is a dangerous way, under the hard soil are underground flames. Those flames will erupt from times to times. When you are walking over it, perhaps a huge flame pillar will suddenly erupt under your feet and grill you directly!”
“Fuck!” Shaar yelled angrily: “You said that this is the safest way?!”
Ada put on a serious face and replied coldly: “I assure you, this is the only safe passage …… The other paths are even more dangerous than this. If you do not believe me, you could go elsewhere and try!”
“But ……How is this place safe?” Shaar swallowed: “If we rush into it, we will turn into barbecue!”
“If you want to find the dragon’s lair, how could it be an easy matter.” Ada squinted and coldly smiled: “There is a magic formation underneath. Under this mountain, there is an underground magma vein. Like I told you, that dragon excelled in soil magic and this magic made some special modification to the terrain here. It made the hard soil extremely fragile, turning it into this death trap.”
Shaar gave Ada a cold look and coughed. This hillbilly rolled his eyes and suddenly turned his gaze towards the shivering Mr. Princess. He touched his chin and smiled maliciously:
“You! Oaks! You walk first!”
“Ah??”
Mr. Princess’ legs were trembling like leaves, his face turned pale and instantly collapsed on the ground.
