Chapter 2520 Running Into Them
“Yes, we were captured by people from Cyan Village. They wanted to hunt high-level demon beastsand were using us as bait. That's why they brought us deep into these mountains. Then, we gotattacked by a Demon Wolf. Ali got us free, and we ran deep into the forest to escape ourkidnappers. They kept chasing after us, so we had to fight off the Demon Wolf and hide from thekidnappers at the same time. Ali and the others must be in danger right now. The area aheadbelongs to a pack of Demon Wolves. None of them are going to survive if they run into that pack!Go save Ali and the others! I know I'm not going to make it, so just leave me be!” Emilio urged them.
Jared glanced at Emilio in silence for a few seconds. He knew that the latter couldn't possiblysurvive his injury, especially since immediate medical attention was not available. Even so, Jaredtried to comfort him anyway. “Hang in there. Once we rescue Ali and the others, we'll bring you backto the village for treatment.”
Jared was about to carry on walking, but Emilio grabbed him by the arm and said with a pleadinglook in his eyes, “Don't lie to me, man. I know I won't make it, but I don't want to just sit here andwait till I bleed out. Could you please make it quick for me?”
He would rather have someone put him out of his misery than bleed out in agonizing pain.
Jared did not want to kill Emilio, but reducing the latter's suffering was all he could do at that point.
After hesitating for a bit, Jared slowly placed his hand on Emilio's head and fired a beam of spiritualenergy right through it.
The man had a smile on his face as he slowly closed his eyes.
“Emilio!” Percy sobbed.
Jared's eyes teared up as well. He did not know Emilio personally, so he didn't share that samelevel of sentiment.
Even so, the people of Rock Village had treated him as one of their own during his time there, sothey were like family to him.
“Stop crying, Percy. Come on, let's go...” Jared urged as he quickly led Percy deeper into themountains.
This is not the time to grieve! We need to hurry up and rescue Ali and the others!
Meanwhile, dozens of young men, who had powerful auras and weapons, stopped and stared at theforest ahead of them. None of them dared take another step further.
Those were men from Cyan Village. The group comprised mainly Nascent Soul cultivators andManifestor cultivators, so they were much stronger than the people from Rock Village.
A man stepped up to the one leading the group and asked, “The area ahead is Demon Wolfterritory. Should we continue chasing them?”
“Of course not! As powerful as we may be, we're not even going to make it out of there alive! Thoseguys from Rock Village went in there, so they are probably dead by now!” said the man leading thegroup.
They then turned around and prepared to leave, only to bump into Percy and Jared.novelbin
Percy went pale when he saw those men. “T-Those are the guys from Cyan Village, Jared! They'rethe ones who kidnapped Ali and the others!”
Jared's eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent as he glared at them. “So, you guys are fromCyan Village?”
The man leading the group stared at Jared, giving him a once-over. Although he didn't know whoJared was, he did recognize Percy, who was standing next to Jared. “That's right! Are you fromRock Village? I'm surprised you two were brave enough to come here!”
The guys from Cyan Village had icy-cold looks in their eyes. They saw Jared and Percy as nothingbut easy prey.
As Percy was often bullied by the people from Cyan Village, he shuddered in fear when he saw theirmenacing gazes.
