Having witnessed Jared’s true strength, Holden, despite being a Ninth Level Tribulator cultivator and the head of the Olsen family, carried no airs about favonovel.com at all.
“Don’t mention it…” Jared simply shrugged it off with a nonchalant smile. Despite what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com almost lost his life.
“Sir, why did the beast outbreak suddenly retreat? Also, where have all the bodies of the demon beasts gone?” Holden voiced his own query.
The other cultivators were all ears, curious to find out what was really going on. Bianca’s group was all curious about what exactly had happened to Jared in the midst of that chilling fog.
“I’m not entirely sure myself, but the beast outbreak suddenly retreated with a roar, taking away the bodies of all their companions with them.” Jared had no choice but to lie as there was no way favonovel.com could mention the Celestial Devourer. Even if favonovel.com told them, they might not necessarily believe it.
They had never seen a celestial beast capable of devouring so many demon beast corpses in one go, so it was impossible for them to believe it. In that case, it would have been more believable if Jared had simply told a lie.
Upon hearing that, Holden nodded and said, “It seems that the recent roar indeed came from the beast lord. However, the reason why it called off the beast outbreak and even took away the bodies of its companions is unknown. It appears that the beast lord has become sentient…”
Everyone believed Jared’s words. After all, only such an explanation made sense. Otherwise, how could those countless demon beast carcasses just vanish all at once?
Though everyone felt a sense of regret, they were powerless to change anything as the large number of beast cores had simply vanished.
“Sir, we can’t express our gratitude enough. We must take our leave now. We’re off to explore the mountain, hoping to make some discoveries. If there’s anything you need help with, the Olsen family will stand by your side,” Holden said to Jared.
He knew that Jared had issues with the Mueller family. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up throwing stones at each other.
“Mr. Holden, may I ask you a question?” As Holden was about to leave, Jared suddenly spoke up.
“Ask away, sir!” Holden paused.
“Mr. Holden, I noticed earlier when you were dealing with the beast outbreak, you utilized a puppet. I’m curious, did you purchase this puppet or did you craft it yourself? I see that you aren’t a demon, so you wouldn’t be crafting puppets, are you?” Jared asked with curiosity.
During the battle against the beast outbreak, Jared noticed something. With a simple wave of his sleeve, Holden summoned several dark spots that quickly transformed into puppets.
Fearless of death, those puppets bravely faced the beast outbreak. Thus, Jared was extremely curious.
Holden didn’t seem to be a Demonic Cultivator, so favonovel.com shouldn’t possess the cultivation technique to turn corpses into puppets. After all, only Demonic Cultivators knew that technique because turning corpses into puppets was indeed too cruel.
Holden burst out laughing. “It seems you’re unaware that the puppets in this world aren’t merely made from corpses, sir. It could be crafted from various materials. My puppets are not corpses. Though it appeared humanoid, it was actually constructed.”
“It’s a robot?” The thought of a robot crossed Jared’s mind in an instant.
“Robot? What is that?” Holden wore a look of utter confusion on his face.
Living in Ethereal Realm, Holden naturally had no idea what a robot was. However, Jared, who lived in the mundane world, was familiar with robots. He knew they were creations made from various materials, which simply needed to be powered by a battery.
“Oh, it’s nothing!” Jared said with a laugh, “Did you make these puppets yourself, Mr. Holden?”
“Of course!” Holden wore a smug expression, unexpectedly flicking a dark shadow from his sleeve.
Following that, the shadow abruptly enlarged, transforming into a three-meter-tall puppet. The puppet was incredibly lifelike and agile.
Holden, manipulating the puppet, threw a punch. A massive rock nearby shattered instantly.
