“Of course I don’t need them,” Jared replied with a smile. With that, he was about to walk toward theforest when Feenix and Cloud expressed their desire to join him. However, Jared forbade them fromdoing so.
Unaware of the concealed dangers within Mount Crimson, he feared that Cloud and Feenix mightbecome a liability, burdening him instead.
Jared had wanted to see if he could discover the presence of celestial energy. In the event he couldn’t,he didn’t mind settling for slaying a celestial beast.
Nonetheless, after scouting the surroundings, Jared was disappointed by the lack of ordinary demonbeasts, let alone celestial beasts.
Also, there was no sign of any celestial energy after all. Nevertheless, the fact that they couldn’t beeasily found made them all the more valuable.
Jared subsequently returned empty-handed. He didn’t venture out too far, for he wasn’t familiar withMount Crimson after all. Upon his return, Jared noticed that Hamish had scattered some white powderaround their camp.
The power not only stung his nose but also carried a disgusting stench.
When he saw Jared, Hamish advised, “Come back in here quickly. Once it gets dark, no one is allowedto leave. I’ve cast an arcane array around this place and scattered a powder that will scare demonbeasts away. These will keep us safe tonight.”
Jared didn’t say a word after glancing at what Hamish had done. The simple arcane array and whitepowder could only stop small demon beasts at best and would be ineffective against larger and morepowerful ones.
“Dad, will this work? Also, when will the poison veil appear?” Kiara asked Hamish,
“Of course, it’ll work. Throughout my years of traveling, I’ve always used this method to ward off thedemon beasts. As to when the poison veil will appear, it’s a matter of luck, as I can’t predict it. Thatsaid, all of us have taken Mr. Tamazi’s detoxification pill, so we won’t be affected by it,” Hamishexplained.
Once everything was in place, everyone began to cultivate in silence. Meanwhile, Misho took a seat byJared’s side and inquired smilingly, “Did you find anything?”
He knew that Jared had gone off in search of the celestial energy within Mount Crimson. Shaking hishead, Jared broke into an awkward grin.
“Some things just can’t be forced. It won’t be there when we try looking for it but might appear whenwe’re not.”
Misho gave Jared’s shoulder a pat before closing his eyes to rest.
As time passed, members of the party fell into deep sleep amidst the pitch-black surroundings. Aneerie silence filled the air, as there was not a single sound to be heard.
Unbeknownst to them, a thick mist had begun to rise around the party’s camp. Carried within it was thefaint stench of blood.
With everyone in deep sleep, no one had noticed that they had been encapsulated by the mist. All of asudden, a cultivator among them opened his eyes. There was a faint red glow in them, giving him aterrifying look.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the cultivator attacked his companions.
Boom!
The moment his palm fired out, the man beside him died instantaneously with a cry of agony, one thatwoke everyone else up.
The gruesome sight that greeted them left them dumbfounded. While everyone was still mired in shock,the cultivator who had gone berserk began attacking the others.
“D*mn it, have you gone mad?”
“He deserves to die for committing a sneak attack!”novelbin
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was yelling in disbelief.
“The poison veil… We’re being surrounded by the poison veil…”
“It must have clouded his mind, causing him to lose his sanity!”
After he surveyed the surroundings, Hamish’s expression underwent a dramatic shift.
“Dad, didn’t we take the detoxification pill? Why are we still susceptible to its effects?” Kiara askedquizzically.
