Chapter 1333 Journey To The Center Of The Pyramid

Grey groaned coldly while staring at the beast in front of him. It was none other than a Crocodile, of all the things he has come to hate amongst Magical Beasts, it was types like these that had such strong defenses.

Take the Scorpion for example, it isn't that the superiority in strength was large, but its defense was just too powerful that it took such a large group of people to take it down.

Now that he has to fight one on his own, all he felt was pain.

The good news now was that of the three beasts he sensed inside the water, only this Crocodile had shown itself which might be a bonus for them. If they could kill it with their numbers advantage before the other two stepped out, they would've already established a good position for themselves in the battle.

The Crocodile stared at the intruders coldly and contrary to what they expected, it didn't attack, instead, it tried to communicate with them.

'Leave this place, I'm in no mood to fight anyone.'

The voice of the Crocodile echoed in their ears.

Grey studied the Crocodile and almost burst out laughing, a small part of its tail had been gnawed off. The place was so small that it was almost impossible to notice, but with Grey's keen eyes, and a little hint from Void, he was able to see it.

When he saw the Crocodile, he asked if Void wanted to eat it, and Void said he had already tasted it and didn't like how it tasted.

The Crocodile expressed its desire not to engage in any form of battle at the same moment which made Grey almost laugh out loud. The Crocodile looked traumatized by the experience it had with Void.

"Do you think that thing can benefit any of us?" Grey pointed at the shiny object.

Void didn't take it, which meant it most likely wasn't a shiny object, it might be good, but not what he wanted.

The Crocodile was irritated by Grey's words, and just when it was about to snap, Grey whispered so only it could hear.

"My cat doesn't think you taste good, but I'm a very good cook, I can make you taste good. All I need to do is call him back."

The moment the Crocodile heard those words, its large body shivered.

Grey was astounded, he couldn't believe Void, the small cat that could barely fit into his palm, left such a large creature in such a state.

'Size truly doesn't matter.'

The Crocodile looked at Grey and the others and indicated to Victor before saying to Grey.

'It's not something that will be of use to most people, but it might help extend his life force.'

Grey's pupils contracted when he heard this. He wasn't close to Victor, but he never thought he would have an issue with his life force.

Victor didn't look like someone who had a problem with his life force, and he didn't look to be over forty, so Grey never really thought there would be an issue with him.

"Then bring it." Grey said to the Crocodile.

The Crocodile didn't delay and brought it over to them.

Grey took it and tossed it to Victor who couldn't believe his eyes.

They could all sense the item oozing with life force.

"We have no use for this, but it might be of use for you." Grey left those words before turning his attention to the Crocodile.

Since it was willing to communicate, he was quite curious as to how it got into this place.

Due to the long process it took them to get into this place, he didn't think it was that easy for anyone to bring in a Magical Beast in their free time unless it was the person who created it in the first place.

'I've been here all my life.'

This was the answer Grey got, something he wasn't hoping to get. No matter what he asked, the Crocodile didn't show any signs of knowing the answers.

Grey could only give up and leave with the others. There was no need to stay behind, and since the Crocodile let them leave in peace, it was for the best.

The group of five passed through the underground stream before heading into another path.

….

While the humans were having a relatively easy time passing through each obstacle, it wasn't so easy for the Giants. They've faced different dangerous situations, but the rewards have been massive as well.

The leader had ensured that nothing happened to the others. Of course, he couldn't always save them, but he made sure none of them suffered attacks that could kill them or fatally wound them.

They were also heading deeper into the pyramid, just like Grey and the others.

….

Time went by and before they knew it, they've been stuck in the pyramid for over two days, in search of the center of the pyramid. They all knew the best treasures lay there, but locating it in these maze-like paths was no easy feat.

Void was the one leading the humans, and if not for the continuous good items they would occasionally get, Elaris would've been irritated by the fact that Grey was just randomly jumping from one path to another without even thinking.

….

"At this rate we might never be able to leave this place." Sylvia's brother spoke up when the group appeared at a Hall. This Hall wasn't like the tomb, but this wasn't the first of its kind they had seen these past days.

"We can. But with the treasures still present, I don't think there's any use in us rushing." Grey didn't feel any pressure.

"What if the Giants beat us to the center, what then?" Elaris asked.

"We go home. We don't always have to win in such tussles." Grey was unbothered.

He knew there was no way in hell the Giants would get to the middle first before Void, so he wasn't afraid. The worst that could happen was that he would have to beg Void for a few treasures when he gets there before them and take everything.
