    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1696


    The South Wastnds truly was an extraordinary ce… 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…


    Sometimeter, 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 them now saw an erect stone tablet before them…


    Wiping the thickyer 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 dered, “The South Beast of the Wastnds!”


    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 wastnds, an explosive


    sound was heard!


    Following that, everyone could only watch wide-eyed as a massive ck figure leaped out of the stone


    tablet!


    Uponnding right before the five individuals, the creature’s inhumanly strongnding caused the


    ground around them to quiver so much that it was difficult to even maintain their bnce! 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 Wastnds, 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!


    Under 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 ring 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.
