Chapter 2276 The Chase
However, Kayden soon realized he was still alive and yet to be swallowed by the demon beastmoments later. When he opened his eyes again, he saw his father, Lamar, shielding him while theflying demon beast was reduced to a pile of minced meat.
“Dad!” Joy filled Kayden's eyes. “W-Why are you here?”
“You would've become food for the demon beast if I didn't show up!” Lamar sneered before chargingtoward the rest of the flying demon beasts.
Meanwhile, Chester, Brad, and their men faced the demon beasts head-on as soon as they arrived.They charged ahead without hesitation, and the hundreds of people who joined the battle tilted thebalance of victory in the humans' favor. In response, the demon beasts retreated and dwindled innumbers.
In the end, the beasts turned and fled, but the humans decided against chasing after them. That wasbecause it was highly plausible for high-level demon beasts to be lurking in the mountain since humanshad never once hunted demon beasts in this mountain. The consequences would be dire if theyhappened to run into the king of the mountain. None of them would be able to escape alive if thathappened. Besides, their only goal was to rescue their companions, so there wasn't a need toexterminate the demon beasts once that goal was achieved.
Many people began taking the beast cores from the carcasses of demon beasts scattered across theground. Chester, on the other hand, asked Evangeline and Zain, “Have you seen Mr. Chance?”
“Dad, Mr. Chance went chasing after the Blazing Tiger just now, and he's nowhere to be seen,”Evangeline replied.
Chester furrowed his brows. “What? He went after the Blazing Tiger?”
The Blazing Tiger is way too powerful for Mr. Chance to handle!
Zain bobbed his head too. “Yep. He wanted to slay the Blazing Tiger to put and end to the demonbeasts' attacks.”
Hearing this, Chester panicked. He knew searching for someone in this massive mountain would beakin to looking for a needle in a haystack, but no matter how difficult it could be, he would never giveup, for the relationship between Jared and the Gunderson family was an extraordinary one.
“Attention to all members of the Gunderson family! The search for Mr. Chance is on! We must bring himback safely and soundly no matter what!” Chester yelled at the Gundersons.
“Yes, sir!” The Gundersons gave up on the beast cores and created a formation as they prepared tosearch for Jared.
Wayne stopped Chester at that moment. “Don't be rash, Chester. No humans have ever stepped footinto the Demon Beast Mountain for many years! We don't know what danger lies within. It'd bedangerous for you and your men to venture deep into the mountains to search for Mr. Chance just likethat!”
“I don't care! I have to look for him no matter how risky it is! I can't leave him here alone!” repliedChester with determination.
“Chester, think about it. This mountain is huge! How are you going to search for him? All of you will diein there before you even find him!” Wayne got into Chester's way, refusing to let him search for Jared.
In fact, Chester was aware that Wayne was right. It was indeed impossible for them to search for Jaredon this huge mountain with limited manpower. Besides, the dangers that lurked within were far too
grave for them to handle.novelbin
Then again, as a member of the Dragon Sect, Chester wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he didn'teven make the effort to search for Jared.
“Dad, why don't I wait for Mr. Chance at the foot of the mountain with some men? Maybe he will showup later,” Evangeline suggested.
There wasn't a solution better than that, so Chester had no choice but to agree. He allowed Evangelineto stay back with some men at the foot of the mountain while the rest of the group left the demon beastsecret realm one after another.
In the meantime, Jared had no idea what was happening on the other side as he pursued the BlazingTiger with undivided attention.
I must capture this b*stard and kill it! It pisses me off!
