Chapter 2267 Flaming Wolf
“All right, I understand.” Jared began trekking at the foot of the mountain.
Without warning, a black figure leaped straight toward Jared from the bushes.
Just as he was going to strike, Zain shot a dagger toward the black figure, pinning it to a nearby tree.
It was then Jared realized that the black figure was a wolfdog-sized mole.
“I hate these moles the most, Mr. Chance. The entire Demon Beast Mountain is crawling with these creatures. Even
though they aren't strong, they love to ambush people. Additionally, the beast cores these moles have are
practically worthless, so very few people will ever want them. I hope we don't encounter a group of them because
they're disgusting.” Zain's disdain and repulsion for those moles were apparent.
Jared smiled. It seems like rat-like creatures are hated no matter where they are.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe trio continued their journey. Suddenly, they heard the sounds of a battle nearby. Swiftly, they headed to the
source of the noises.
Moments later, they discovered a few people were attacking a flaming wolf. The wolf was enveloped in scarlet
flames and kept shooting fireballs.
The flaming wolf roughed up the attackers pretty badly, but they still managed to kill the creature and extract its
beast core.
When Jared took a better look at the person extracting the beast's core, he was slightly taken aback because he
recognized that guy. It was Kayden.
After Kayden put the beast core away, his expression shifted. “Who are you? Why are you hiding there? Come out!”
Clearly, he noticed the trio already.
Upon seeing that, the trio revealed themselves.
Kayden's expression relaxed when he realized the figures hiding in the shadow were Jared and the others.
After all, the scariest living beings in the demon beast secret realm weren't the beasts but people. It was because
stealing was a common occurrence there.
No one liked having their hard-earned beast core stolen by someone from other secret realms.
“You're pretty lucky, Mr. Macall. It's rare to encounter a flaming wolf at the edges of the mountain range.” Zain
grinned.
“I'm assuming you're the one who brought the two of them here. Aren't you three afraid you'll become a demon
beast's lunch?" questioned Kayden with contempt.
"Mr. Chance only wanted to take a gander at the demon beast secret realm. We'll be returning soon.”
“Well, since you three are already here, there's no need to rush back home. Besides, if you three follow me, you'll
be safer. Once I kill a few more demon beasts, I'll share some of their cores with you all. It's better than returning
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmempty-handed, right?” Kayden was planning to bring the trio to a demon beast hunt.
Meanwhile, Jared understood why Kayden was doing that. He's just trying to create an opportunity to spend time
with Evangeline and show off how awesome he is by hunting demon beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kindly
offered to protect and share the demon beast cores with us.
"This...” Zain turned to Jared. He didn't have the guts to reject Kayden's offer directly because the latter was Zahrin
Sect's heir.
“In that case, I guess we'll accompany you, Mr. Macall,” answered Jared.
In reality, Jared wanted to spend a little more time in the demon beast secret realm to gauge how powerful the
creatures were.
Initially, Evangeline didn't want to agree to the proposal, but she nodded after Jared went along with it.
Upon seeing that, Kayden beamed. “Let's head deeper. The monsters outside the mountain are just a bunch of
trash. They aren't even enough to warm me up!”
He proceeded to lead the trio into the mountain, making Zain nervous.
