Chapter 146 - CHAPTER 146: I'll Safeguard It For You

"How can you do this, you can't!" Gilbert's loud complaints travelled far.

"All right, all right. Let's talk about it later. Rest first." Han Shuo randomly fobbed off Gilbert with some excuses and silently pondered over the mental pulse he'd felt earlier.

When he'd sealed the contract with Gilbert earlier, a wonderful bond had formed between the two. According to the power of the contract, Han Shuo was able to locate Gilbert's position even with his eyes closed. Furthermore, Han Shuo knew that with the power of master and servant, he could absolutely dictate the life and death of the lecherous dragon.

As Gilbert whimpered and complained, the little skeleton returned to Han Shuo with the bizarre bow in his hand. When the little lecherous dragon Gilbert saw the little skeleton appear with the bow, he recognised the presence and instinctively ran after Han Shuo in a panic.

Since the bow had appeared, it meant that the dark elf who'd wielded it was finished. Han Shuo took the bow from the little skeleton and held it in his hand. There was nothing unusual about it at all. He studied it closely and discovered that the entire bow was a dark brown colour like ancient tree bark, full of complex, strange and mysterious patterns.

"Liaison, the matriarch of the dark elves, Dana, and a third of the dark elves have successfully escaped." The old priest reported what the forest troll chief had to say and stood next to Han Shuo to speak respectfully.

Nodding, Han Shuo first placed the strange bow in his space ring and said, "The dark elves are very familiar with the underground world. They are the masters of this place and it is not surprising that they can use the terrain to escape. In order to prevent the dark elves from coming back and taking revenge, we should leave the underground world as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble if Dana gathers the other dark elf clans to attack us.

"Master, are you returning to the world above? Oh, that's wonderful. I've never left the underground world before. Now I can finally see what the outside world looks like." Gilbert seemed very excited to hear that Han Shuo and the others were returning to the world above and cheered loudly.

Looking at Gilbert strangely, Han Shuo frowned and asked, "Have you always lived underground? Then how did you become enemies with the dark elves?"

"Eh, there's not much to it. I ran away from the Dark Dragon City underground and then got lost. I tried to get to the surface and met the Lizard Men. They treated me as an honoured guest and agreed to take me out of the underground world, promising to help me find beauties and treasures. In return, I helped them destroy the homes of the dark elves.

"But when I came to destroy their village, I discovered that the dark elf girls were very beautiful. It was a pity that these girls came running to me and attacked me instead. I fled to the swamp when I was injured and you know the story from there." Gilbert looked at Han Shuo innocently as he explained what had happened to him.

Even though the words were confusing, out of order, and didn't explain many important details, Han Shuo more or less understood what Gilbert meant. Too lazy to inquire further, he nodded and asked, "Are your injuries serious?"

"Very serious!" The little lecherous dragon scratched his head and said discouragedly. He paused and then said, "But I'll be able to recover slowly after some time. It was mostly that strange arrow that made me feel pain. I really don't know how such a weak and fragile life form could shoot such a powerful arrow!"

Han Shuo slapped Gilbert's black head and said, "Idiot, didn't you see the dark elf die immediately after shooting that arrow? That was an evil arrow that consumed life in its wake. Of course it's strong. Don't think you're really something just because you have a big body."

Gilbert cried out in pain, rubbing the head that Han Shuo had just hit and muttering, "I'm already injured. Even though you are my master, you still can't bully me!"

Thinking for a moment, Han Shuo took out the essence blood of the Medusa and gave it to the little lecherous dragon. "This is the essence blood of Medusa, it has a miraculous effect on injuries and will definitely be good for your injuries. Take it and use it sparingly, don't waste it."

"Oh, miraculous master, I salute you." Gilbert couldn't see at first because his eyes had been injured, but when he heard that there was Medusa's essence blood that could heal his injuries, he waved his hands as he kissed Han Shuo, finally placing his claws on the small vial of Medusa's blood.

"Bring my litter over and carry this blind dark dragon. We must leave the underground world as soon as possible. Otherwise we'll be in big trouble when Dana gathers the other clans of dark elves.

The old priest also understood the danger they were in. He gave instructions to the forest troll chief in the distance, and two litters were carried over. The comfortable, spacious one carried the little skeleton, and the more rugged one carried the little lecherous dragon Gilbert. Han Shuo walked ahead and led the way.

It was a good thing that Han Shuo had silently memorised the path on the way here. With Han Shuo's current memory and brain, he was able to fully recall the complicated and winding roads in his mind. Under Han Shuo's guidance, they didn't encounter any difficulties on their way back out. When they reached the entrance corridor again and began to walk into the vast and intricate caverns, the old priest was incredibly surprised.

"Liaison, we've only walked through this area once, yet you already remember the entire path?" The old priest couldn't help but ask curiously after holding his questions for a while.

"Oh, this is all done under the guidance of the mighty Datara and has nothing to do with me." Han Shuo replied carelessly.

He gave an order and the little skeleton poked its head out of the litter, waved its little hand at the old priest and saluted Han Shuo. The old priest was stunned as he didn't know the meaning of the little skeleton's salute, so he gave the little skeleton another round of compliments.

Halfway through, many scattered and random footsteps rang in Han Shuo's ears. His heart tightened as he urged the forest trolls on, wanting them to leave the underground world as soon as possible.

His sharp eyes saw some strange creatures with the body of a man and the head of a lizard at the end of the cave. Remembering the conversation between Gilbert and the dark elves, he immediately understood that these creatures were probably the underground lizardmen. What he didn't understand was why the Lizardmen were here.

"Some lizardmen are here, do you know what's going on?" Han Shuo snapped his fingers and some forest troll warriors brought the litter holding Gilbert over to Han Shuo, allowing him to ask his question.

"Oh, it really is the lizardmen. I didn't think they would keep their word. They promised to take me out of the underground world, but later I ran into the dark elf trap and retreated back into the swamp. To think they were still waiting for me!" Gilbert cheered and jumped out of the litter.

Perhaps it was the effects of the Medusa's blood, but Gilbert's eyes, which had been gushing blood before, were now back to normal. Although he was still covered in wounds, the blood had stopped flowing from his wounds.

The little lecherous dragon suddenly roared in a low voice, "Lowly lifeforms, are you here to pay me tribute?"

The lizardmen at the end of the cave suddenly cheered as they heard Gilbert's voice. Dozens of lizardmen appeared from both sides of the cave, some of them lifting a chest and placing it respectfully at Gilbert's feet. An elderly lizard hobbled forward on a stick, "Mighty, noble dark dragon, we've heard that you punished the evil dark elves for us. This treasure chest is what we promised you, please accept it."

Gilbert walked over and lifted the lid to see that it was filled with all sorts of shining and glittering crystals. He was immediately excited as he asked, "What about the beauties you promised me?"

The old lizard man snapped his fingers and three curvaceous female lizards appeared before Gilbert. One of them used an untrained common tongue to shyly say, "Honoured noble dark dragon, we three sisters will serve you well, please take us with you."

"Ah hahaha." Han Shuo laughed out loud as he saw the little lecherous dragon's smile freeze on his face. He couldn't help but laugh a little mockingly.

"Forget it, I'll take the crystals, but you take the three lady lizards. I don't need them." Gilbert picked up the chest of crystals and avoided the attention of the three lizard beauties. He immediately spoke to Han Shou and was about to leave.

As Gilbert approached, Han Shuo snatched up Gilbert's box of beautiful crystals and threw it into his space ring, ignoring Gilbert's complaints. "Yours is mine, I'll protect it for you. Heh heh."

The forest troll's entourage then left for the surface world, thanks to Han Shuo's amazing memory.
