Chapter 363: Taking the Mole away
The mole walked towards the girl that was hiding at the corner of the room, trembling in fear. When she heard the mole walking towards her, she started screaming in terror.
“Don’t come here, you monster. I will rather kill myself than let you have me,” the girl shouted.
“Ah, I see you are that type of girl,” the mole said. “Little lady, I am not going to do anything to you.”
“I won’t fall for your cheap tricks, you monster,” she shouted. “The other girls might have been gullible, but I’m not one of them.”
“I didn’t do anything to the other girls either,” the mole said.
“You can’t deceive me. If you did nothing to them, then where are they? Not a single one of them returned back to the village,” the girl said.
“Uhh… they’re not here,” the mole said.
Ning looked around curiously and even sent out his divine sense as far as he could, but he saw not a single sign of any humans living in the mountain.
“Where are the girls, mole,” Ning asked with concerns.
“Well, uh… you see. The girls weren’t wanted by their family, so i—”
“So you killed them,” the girl said with hatred on her face. However, the hatred soon turned into shock and despair, “No, you ate them, didn’t you? are you going to eat me too?”
“What? Stop putting words in my mouth. I did nothing of that sort,” the mole said. “I wouldn’t eat humans even if I wanted to, I hear you people taste weird.”
“Then what did you do?” Ning asked.
“Well, since they weren’t wanted by their own family, so I sent them away to the outside world where they could have a life,” the mole said. “That door. If you go through that door, you will go through a very long tunnel that will end up outside of the mountain range.”
“I take them to the outside world and hand them to a friend I made there,” the Mole said. “He handles the rest of the stuff in exchange for a few ores I mine in here.”
Ning check the tunnel and it indeed was what the mole said it was.
“You liar. What family wouldn’t want their daughter back?” the girl asked with disgust.
“Well, why are you asking me? You are the ones that keep sending them. I thought you had a surplus and didn’t want any. Who would’ve known that you were doing it out of fear for me,” the mole said.
“I don’t believe you,” the girl said.
“It doesn’t matter if you believe him or not,” Ning said. “Truth is, I am taking him away. From today on, there won’t be a beast in your mountain range, and you can happily live with your family.”
“Go tell your parents that there is a path here that can lead to the outer world. Your village will be happy to hear that,” Ning said.
“I—”
“Good job on being brave for your family, but don’t ever do anything so stupid again. You have a single life and make sure to live it to the best you can. Now go,” Ning said.
The girl still didn’t move as she side-eyed the mole, afraid that he might do something.
Ning sighed and said, “Aegis, can you take the girl back to the village below?”
“Yes, master,” a voice came from the girl’s back, scaring her. Aegis immediately showed up in full size once again and picked the girl up in a princess carry, he loved doing that.
After that, he flew out of the room and went away.
“It will take a little bit for Aegis to return, do you have anything else left to do?” Ning asked.
“No,” the mole said. “Nothing here is worth anything compared to returning home. I can leave at any moment.”
“Good,” Ning said and looked back at the 4 men on the ground. “Now, what should we do about them?” he wondered.
“Uhh… why don’t we just kill them, master?” Blue asked.
“Yeah, that would be the best idea, but I’m not really sure if they are bad people or not. I don’t want to kill people who aren’t doing anything bad,” Ning said.
“Whatever,” Ning said as he brought out a pill from his storage and crushed it before sprinkling it all over their faces. “I will figure it out later. They will be unconscious for at least a week now and will likely forget what happened here today.”
“So, you will leave them like that?” the Mole asked.
“Kind of,” he said. “Ursna!”
“Yes, master,” the girl came up to him.
“We will be leaving for a while. Look after them for me until then,” Ning said. “If I’m not back by the time they wake up, tell them this mole defeated you all and left. After that, act like nothing ever happened and go on with your life. I will find you afterward.”
“Yes, master,” Ursna said.
Aegis returned not a minute later and told them how much the girl screamed on their way down.
“They haven’t seen beasts before so they are quite scared of anything,” Ning said. “After they join with the outside world, they will learn a bit more and stop fearing that which they don’t understand.”
“I hope they do,” the mole said.
“Right, let’s leave.”
Ning grabbed all of them and teleported out of the mountain directly above the tomb in the middle of the desert.
“Oh, we’re back,” the mole cried out in surprise. “How did you bring us here so suddenly?”
“Doesn’t matter, let’s go,” he said.
“You know how to enter?” the mole asked.
“Of course, why else would I bring you without knowing that?” Ning asked with a chuckle.
They went into the tomb and people that were there fled once more. Ning felt quite bad that he was disrupting business every time he had to come in or go out.
He shook his head and went on to open the seal once more. After that, they all entered into it.
