Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 533: Chapter 533: I’m Just a Mere Commoner

After clearing up the aftermath, Yang Yu planned to check on Lotcar’s situation but turned around only to find that the task "Lotcar’s Revenge" had already been completed, and his Experience Value had suddenly skyrocketed, breaking through to level sixty.

Just a few steps forward, Yang Yu saw Lotcar carrying Hake running towards him.

Lotcar stopped in front of Yang Yu and set Hake down on the ground.

While Lotcar was taking his revenge, Hake had hidden nearby the village as instructed by Lotcar. It was easy for Lotcar to find him when he left and they both returned to Yang Yu’s side.

"Lotcar, how did your revenge go?"

While talking, Yang Yu casually settled the "Lotcar’s Revenge" task, gaining a total of 160,000 Experience, 150,000 Gold Coin, successfully acquired the title "Curse Breaker," and also got Eleven Consecutive Draws.

He casually clicked to use the Eleven Consecutive Draws, which was still heartwarming, although this time Yang Yu’s guaranteed luck was good, and he even drew a Passive Skill "Thick Skin" that reduced damage by 5. While it seemed small, as long as it wasn’t a probability-based Skill, it was okay.

Lotcar didn’t know where to start but after thinking for a while, he directly told Yang Yu the result,

"Everything went smoothly. Thanks to occasionally having battle training with you all, it didn’t take much effort to knock that guy to the ground.

And then ... I mercilessly took his life."

"Is that so?" Yang Yu didn’t inquire about the process, "But, you probably don’t have any evidence to prove your innocence, is that approach okay?"

"It’s a big problem. As the price for killing him without any basis, not to mention the position of the Clan Leader of the Silver Teeth Clan, I expect they already despise me to the core, but they fear that I might vent my anger on them. That’s why they didn’t pursue me.

Even if I could prove my innocence later, it’s highly unlikely that I could ever return to the village."

Lotcar spoke lightly, yet Yang Yu could feel the heaviness in his words.

Before reaching the village of the Silver Teeth Clan, Lotcar had been sharing his expectations with Yang Yu all along.

In the end, he wasn’t fully accepted by the Silver Teeth Clan and had to leave his home once again.

"Yang Yu." Lotcar spoke seriously, "Let me ask, if you hadn’t been kidnapped, how would you have helped me complete my revenge?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Yu replied, "If I hadn’t been kidnapped, I probably would have tried to make him confess his own sins."

"That would be difficult," Lotcar shook his head, "That guy is extremely cautious, probably would not be careless."

"Then create an opportunity for him to be careless. The key to making him careless still lies with you, but I can’t guarantee that this strategy would work."

Yang Yu revealed a smile,

"Well—if it didn’t work, I probably would end up taking the same route as you.

Unable to stay in the village, what are you going to do next? Are you really going to travel with us?"

"Of course, if you guys don’t mind, I would gladly join. Yang Yu, your initial goal was the Demon King, right? Maybe you are the real Hero. Being able to help you defeat the Demon King would also protect my clan in another way."

Little Jil interjected, being a Hero isn’t just a unit of measure, don’t treat me as a unit! When I left the Library, I was already 1.5 times stronger than a Hero, need to be careful not to be surpassed by that LSP Hero.

"Calling me a Hero is really elevating me; there is another Hero. I’m just a civilian who accidentally learned that the Demon King was coming and started adventuring because I didn’t want to be cannon fodder."

Lotcar couldn’t help but chuckle, "No matter how you look at it, you’re the least ordinary person here."

"Enough talk, since you’ve made that choice and have nowhere else to go, just follow us! We need a means of transportation, and I’ll leave that task to you."

"That’s pretty straightforward."

From the enormous form of a Silver Wolf, he transformed into a burly middle-aged man. At this moment, Lotcar’s mature face showed a beaming smile from within, as he extended his fist.

"Yang Yu, my master, Lotcar is willing to follow your orders."

"Don’t call me master, we are comrades who fight side by side." Yang Yu reached out and bumped fists with Lotcar, "From now on, please take good care of me. It’s getting late, let’s start a fire, cook some food, get some good rest, and tomorrow we head for the Elf Forest."

After speaking, a system notification sound rang by Yang Yu’s ear, "Your relationship with Lotcar has undergone some changes and has solidified into trusting."

At the same time, on Yang Yu’s list of twenty projects, another clue emerged [N.11[Silver Wolf and Giant Dragon]]

Yang Yu’s task list also displayed a new task.

[Hidden Task: [Silver Wolf and Giant Dragon]

Task Requirements: Find similarities and differences between the Silver Wolf and the Giant Dragon.

Task Rewards: Hidden Task [The Birth of Darkness in the Plant Clan], a piece of the [Sky Lock], one Legendary lottery draw.

...

...

Three days later, in the Ocean Duchy.

A raft floated on the vast and placid sea surface; a man with a yellow straw hat and bare upper body was fishing on the raft.

His body, even from a distance, looked as if wrapped in a light blue plastic film, ultra-smooth, with small dorsal fin-like protrusions on his back.

He sat cross-legged on the small boat, motionless, his eyes closed, feeling the breeze brushing across the sea, moving the buoy of his fishing rod.

Suddenly, the buoy shook violently, plunging with a "thud" into the sea, and the fishing line trembled continuously, the fishing rod bending into an incredible arc.

This was a big fish.

The man immediately stood up, straddling left and right on the raft, pulling hard, tightening the fishing line, then with a flick, a big fish broke through the water.

However, this fish, with the upper body of a person and the lower body of a fish, had blue-green scales that sparkled in the sunlight, and orange-red wavy hair fluttering in the wind.

The mermaid released the fishing line, plunged headfirst into the sea, creating waves that rocked the raft, the man fishing swayed with the waves, barely avoiding being overturned.

The mermaid, having dived into the sea, tidied her hair, creating splashes that sparkled under the sun, a chest hidden beneath pretty ornaments with sturdy muscles inspiring awe, and her chiseled face full of vigor.

Seeing him, the man in the straw hat looked displeased and pouted.

"So it’s Jiao Xi, I thought it was a big fish."

The mermaid named Jiao Xi swam to the edge of the raft, with a strong push of her hands, almost flipping the raft, she sat down on it.

Once seated on the raft, Jiao Xi’s body suddenly shrank considerably, the brawny muscles completely disappeared, replaced with feminine soft secondary sexual characteristics, her rough face also softened and became pretty.

Sitting on the raft, he had turned into she, but the owner of the raft seemed unphased.

The mermaid called Jiao Xi smiled towards the owner of the raft,

"Lang Yi, aren’t I just a big fish?"
