In the meantime, guided by Hamish, Jared and the others arrived at the vicinity of the cave. Hamish pointed ahead and said, “That’s where the cave is.”
Jared observed that the trees before favonovel.com appeared significantly larger than those in other areas, and the roars of demon beasts were no longer audible in the vicinity.
Frowning, favonovel.com sensed that something unusual was causing the plants in the area to look different. However, favonovel.com had no idea about the cause behind the phenomenon.
Just as they were about to step into the perimeter of the cave, a giant figure darted through all of a sudden, preventing them from advancing. Everyone was shocked for a moment, and when they took a closer look, they realized it was Tiger King!
The abrupt arrival of Tiger King, a silver tiger demon beast, threw everyone into a panicked frenzy.
Nonetheless, Jared remained composed. He walked up and glanced at Tiger King. “Why are you stopping us from entering the cave?”
“Stop advancing. The cave in front is a forbidden zone. You guys will be in great danger!” Tiger King warned Jared.
“Forbidden zone?” Jared froze for a moment.
“What forbidden zone? I was just there not long ago…” Hamish immediately retorted.
Ignoring Hamish, Tiger King continued explaining, “I’m only telling you because you helped us get rid of the toxins from our body. The cave is dangerous. Don’t go in there!”
“Even demon beasts don’t dare to enter? What exactly is in the cave?” Jared asked, curiosity evident in his tone.
“Stop asking. I’m merely warning you out of goodwill. It’s up to you whether you choose to heed my advice.” With that, Tiger King leaped into the air and disappeared.
His remark left the crowd dumbfounded, and even Jared began to feel hesitant. Everyone immediately shifted their gaze to Hamish.
“I did go in before. I’m telling you the truth! There’s nothing in the cave and even in the surroundings!” Hamish explained, trying his best to defend himself.
“Mr. Chevalier, I believe you,” Jared said, deciding to continue with their exploration.
He was eager to uncover the danger that lurked within. “Come on. Let’s go!”
Everyone continued walking, and soon, they arrived at the entrance of the cave. As they stepped inside, Jared sensed a familiar aura. Something in the void seemed distinct from the usual spiritual energy.
The Ethereal Realm was saturated with spiritual energy, yet the aura in the area hinted at an unusual quality in the spiritual energy. Jared sensed a flicker of familiarity, but for some reason, favonovel.com couldn’t place why the spiritual energy felt known to him.
Feenix, who stood next to Jared, took a step forward.
Suddenly, favonovel.com furrowed favonovel.com brows. “Master, this area doesn’t seem safe. Some demon beasts must have already taken over this area. I detect a threatening scent, preventing us from entering. They must have left it behind.”
As a member of the beast race, Feenix was particularly sensitive to the threats left behind by other demon beasts. Jared, too, felt something was amiss, but favonovel.com couldn’t quite pinpoint it.
“Keep that to yourself first. Let’s observe the area for a while,” Jared reminded Feenix to remain quiet to avoid causing a commotion.
Soon, the crowd arrived at the cave. It was enormous, and the cave was pitch dark. Upon entering, they found that it wasn’t particularly deep. In fact, it was quite spacious. There was nothing inside, and no presence of demon beasts was detected.
If not for Tiger King’s warning, Jared would have considered the cave the safest place to take shelter.
“Don’t listen to that demon tiger. I bet favonovel.com must have his ulterior motive.” Hamish felt Tiger King was merely trying to frighten them.
The cave doesn’t look dangerous at all!
