Chapter 42 Storming The Hideout

'Just how in the world that **er (Decker) made this kind of grave mistake? But it didn't seem they come prepared or sure about the hideout. Because if they knew Decker was hiding there, then there won't be just two giants coming here after what he did.

'Then this means this is just a scouting party led by someone who might be the one who found Decker's traces without him knowing, and from that tone, it's clear he didn't know who the owner of that hideout was or my identity. They also seemed to discover it recently, or they could've come sooner.

'Furthermore, they're moving with caution in the rain, hiding their footsteps despite their powerful physiques. I didn't know if I'm lucky or unlucky, although I'm not present in the hideout and I have all the important things in my pendant, but those liquids and equipment will be lost. Shit!'

Jacob cursed in silence and bemoaned at this bad but good luck because he had avoided a calamity. But he didn't feel happy about it because he wasn't prepared for this at all and this will also be the end of his haven.

He no longer can extract heart essence and remain hidden while increasing his strength before embarking on his journey to find the exit of this mountain range.

All his plans suddenly went to the gutter just because of an unknown mistake.

In the end, Jacob clenched his teeth and slowly creep away from those three dangerous fellows, he knew he can't go back, and he had to flee as far as he can while he still has the chance and the other party didn't know he wasn't inside the hideout.

Pig Head naturally followed him, with the carcass of the arrow tail jaguar on his shoulder.

Jacob left in the opposite direction from where those three came from and in this heavy rainfall, his tracks were easily washed away.

"Just great, first slave, and now a lost vagabond" Jacob muttered while clicking his tongue in exasperation.

After they were a mile away from the hideout, Jacob increased his speed and ran at full speed without stopping. He wanted to create a vast distance between himself and them and then found some area to spend the night before continuing his aimless journey.

At Decker's hideout,

The cloaked Bronze Goblin followed by Aaron, and Montel finally reached the place where the door was hidden.

"There's no trap outside, which means the maker didn't want to startle anyone and wanted to give the disguise that this is an ordinary moss floor, and it would've worked if I didn't see the smoke myself." The bronze goblin said with a hint of satire in his voice.Vissit novelbin(.)c.m for updates

Before he didn't dare to come close to this place, but now that he had two mountain giants beside him, he became shamelessly fearless!

"Chad, stop your nonsense and made that person living here come out!" Aaron vexedly said. If not because of their precaution, they would've stormed the place already.

Chad didn't dare to delay and bashed on the moss floor, which was also the door to the underground facility, and he bellowed, "Anyone is there? I see this door in this stormy rain and I humbly request to take shelter inside. I didn't have any malicious intent, and I'll pay one gold coin for a night's stay?"

Their aim was clear, as long as there wasn't any powerful hermit living here, they would storm the entire place. The week didn't have the right to put resistance in this world!

However, after Chad's torrent of heavy strikes, the door remains calm, with no noise except rain.

"Fuck off now, it's clear; the one inside is an ant or even that thievish goblin, and who knows he might escape from the underground passage while we're wasting our time being careful. Let me see who dared to offend us mountain giants!" Montel lose his patience because he was eager to get this hand-on Decker the most, and he didn't want to let him escape if really inside.

Aaron also didn't stop Montel this time, and he knew if Deck was really inside with his astute personality, he might really slip away from their hands again.

Chad quickly move aside and the moment he saw furious Montel move.

Montel swung his gigantic fist right at the door with full force.

'Bang'

The ground trembled slightly as water splashed everywhere and at the place where that hammer-like fist landed, a dark hole appeared. The metallic door was lying on the bottom with a giant fist imprinted on it.

"Hmph, tiny hole, let me make it big!" Montel sneered before he sent a volley of powerful punches and widen the hole enough for him and Aaron to fit.

"Let's go." Montel took the stone staircase without waiting for Aaron or Chad.

However, just as he took the third step before they suddenly hear a crackling sound under Montel's feet, and the very next moment thereafter, Montel suddenly grunted.

"Bastard, a lighting trap, I'll skin that guy alive!" Montel cursed and continue to move while he received a lighting blot on some steps, but they only seemed to slightly tingle him, nothing else.

Gulping sounds could be heard from Chad. He knew those lighting traps were packed with almost a million volts, but that guy was taking them with a pinch of salt. He couldn't help but wonder just how strong these giants' skins were!

Aaron smirked at this moment while following inside. "This boorish idiot."

Before long, Montel has triggered almost all the traps in the underground base. Spikes, poison arrows, poison fog but Montel didn't even receive a scratch from them as he reached the end of the passage where the hidden room was located!

However, the place was too short for him and Aaron to enter and if they try to funnel their way in, the entire underground cave might crumble.

Aaron sternly ordered at this moment, "Chad, get your ass down there and go inside and see if there's anyone there or not. All the traps have been dealt with. Us the X-Scanner. If there's an escape tunnel, let us know, post hastily!"
