Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 – Escort

"So, what do we do now?" Kyle asked. "Should I dig around it?"

"Do you know where it is?" Theodor asked.

"No."

"Then, you can’t dig around it. For all you know, it might be at a height of 50 meters or at a depth of 50 meters. The density of the Ether Pebbles is somewhat of an indication of its location, but it’s not very accurate," Theodor explained.

Kyle groaned.

Why couldn’t stuff just be simple?

He just wanted to go south!

Was that too much to ask?

"Fine," Kyle said before he continued digging.

After a couple of hours, he found another Ether Pebble.

Then, it became too late, and Kyle went to sleep in his rebuilt hut.

The night was quite scary, but luckily, nothing happened this time.

"Alright, back to work, boys!" Kyle shouted after waking up.

Kyle was completely covered in grime and dust by now, but he had long since stopped caring about his cleanliness.

For the entire day, he kept digging.

During this day, he unearthed six Ether Pebbles.

It was a nice bit of wealth, but it was also worrisome.

Another day passed, and Kyle started his next day of blue-collar work.

By now, he had gotten into a comfortable rhythm of mining.

In a way, it was relaxing.

The feeling of constant progress being made, achieved by nothing but sweat and hard work, was nice.

"I can feel something up ahead," Kyle said as he stopped digging. "There are a bunch of Ether Pebbles."

"How many?" Theodor asked.

"Like five to seven. Do you think we’re close to the source?"

"Possible," Theodor said. "We are near the middle of the mountain. It’s possible that this is simply the upper edge of the Ether source or the center. It all depends on how strong the Ether source is."

"Do I continue?" Kyle asked.

"It might be dangerous," Theodor answered, "but if this is truly the source of the Ether, it isn’t as strong as I assumed."

Kyle took a deep breath. "Welp, guess it’s time to jump right into danger."

"Hello?"

Kyle stopped his swing and turned around as he heard someone shouting from outside.

’What the fuck? There’s a guy?’ Kyle thought.

"Don’t answer!" Theodor said.

"Why not?" Kyle asked.

"This is lawless land, and people that traverse the wilderness are more powerful than you! They can kill you and steal all your wealth without being found out!" Theodor explained.

Kyle furrowed his brows.

His instincts weren’t warning him of the owner of the voice.

Additionally, if they wanted to kill Kyle, why would they announce their presence?

"Yes, hello!" Kyle shouted back as he walked to his hut.

"Where are you?" the man asked.

"In my mine," Kyle said as he arrived in his hut.

The next moment, he saw a gigantic man with a two-handed sword coming down from the stairs.

The man wore thin metallic armor and looked at Kyle with narrowed eyes.
