Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1696
The South Wastelands truly was an extraordinary place… To think that the moon’s shine couldn’t get in here! How
utterly perplexing! Even so, it wasn’t as though they could do anything about it.
With that in mind, Gerald and the others could only continue sitting there as they stared at the bright and beautiful
moon…
Sometime later, Ray was scanning through the area when he suddenly shouted, “…Mr. Crawford, come quick!
There’s some kind of stone tablet here!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald and the other three immediately ran over to where Ray was. True to his words, all of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem now saw an erect stone tablet before them…
Wiping the thick layer of dust off the tablet with his hand, Gerald noticed that a few words had been carved onto it.
Squinting his eyes to get a closer look, Gerald then declared, “The South Beast of the Wastelands!”
Immediately after Gerald read that out, an angered and ear-piercing roar could suddenly be heard coming from
above them! As the roar continued resonating across the barren wastelands, an explosive sound was heard!
Following that, everyone could only watch wide-eyed as a massive black figure leaped out of the stone tablet!
Upon landing right before the five individuals, the creature’s inhumanly strong landing caused the ground around
them to quiver so much that it was difficult to even maintain their balance! What terrifying strength!
“W-what the hell is that thing…?” stuttered Nori as she looked at Gerald slightly fearfully.
“…I guess that’s our South Beast!” replied Gerald as he stared at the humongous figure that somewhat resembled
a lion.
To think that simply reading the text on the tablet would summon it! Judging from how angry it seemed, they must
have awoken it from its nap!
“D*mn it, we need a proper light source! We can’t even see it properly now!” grumbled Zelig as he frowned. Since
the moon’s rays were unable to pierce into South Wastelands, their vision was severely limited to only a few feet in
front of them!
“Don’t worry, I have a solution!” replied Gerald as he summoned his talisman paper and brush from his storage
ring.
After swiftly painting a talisman, he then tossed it into the air, prompting the talismans to burst into a huge ball of
fire!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnder the newly illuminated light source, everyone could now see the beast before them in full detail. With a huge,
golden mane, the massive male lion’s open jaws exposed its extremely sharp teeth for all to see. Fuming in anger,
the lion continued glaring with its rage-filled eyes at all five of them… Though it didn’t appear to be in an attacking
stance.
Finding that fact to be slightly puzzling, Zelig was prompted to ask, “…Why… isn’t it attacking us…?”
To everyone’s dismay, the second he said that, the lion instantly began rushing toward them!
“You and your big mouth!” grumbled Cyril.
“All of you, hurry and run! I’ll deal with it!” Ordered Gerald as he bolted toward the lion with lightning speed.
