“Everyone, stay calm. Let’s tackle this demon serpent together!” Jared raised his voice, attempting to calm the crowd down.
However, the monstrous serpent didn’t give them a chance to catch their breath, launching another attack. Its tail swept across, stirring up a wild gust of wind.
With a swift movement, Jared dodged the demon serpent’s attack. At the same time, favonovel.com conjured a ball of flame in his hand and hurled it toward the serpent.
The monstrous serpent was hit by a blast of fire, letting out a painful roar. However, it didn’t back down. Instead, it attacked the group with an increased ferocity.
Ultimately, when the timing was right, Jared thrust his sword into the monstrous serpent’s vital spot. The creature fell with a thunderous crash and transformed into a puff of black smoke, disappearing without a trace.
“Finally, it’s resolved…”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after this incident, everyone realized that the treasures within Cauldron Peak were not so easy to obtain. One wrong move could cost them their lives.
“The dangers of Cauldron Peak are numerous. If you feel your strength isn’t up to par, it might be best to withdraw, lest your life be put in jeopardy.”
Jared tried to persuade a few alchemists out of good intentions.
After a bout of internal struggle, several alchemists contemplated backing off. Having thanked Jared, they turned around and left Cauldron Peak.
Jared, along with Viola and Sigurd, continued their journey deeper into the heart of Cauldron Peak.
At that moment, a man and a woman, who were among the cultivators, rapidly approached Jared.
“Mr. Chance, wait a moment…” A man called out to Jared.
Jared turned his head to look at the man and woman, a hint of confusion in his voice. “Can I help you with something?”
“Mr. Chance, we’re also alchemists from the Central Region and members of the Alchemist Guild. I noticed you seem to have a good relationship with our leader, President Chance. I was wondering if we might be able to join you?” The male cultivator turned to Jared and asked.
“Join me?” Jared’s brow furrowed slightly.
Seeing the situation, the female cultivator quickly spoke up.
“We’re not trying to share in your spoils. Everything we obtain from Cauldron Peak will go to you. All we wish for is to follow Mr. Chance and receive some guidance from you. That alone will be greatly beneficial for us.”
“Absolutely, not only are you young and talented, but you also cured Prince Cedric’s strange illness. We’re inspired to learn from your exceptional medical skills,” the man hurriedly exclaimed.
Jared remained silent, his brow still deeply furrowed.
He knew that the more people favonovel.com brought along, the greater the pressure favonovel.com would face. After all, these two alchemists were not particularly strong. Hence, favonovel.com would need to protect them.
“If you’re uncomfortable with this, Mr. Chance, we won’t bother you any further.” Seeing the situation, the man felt a bit despondent and spoke.
“President Chance has told us that we should learn as much as we can from you, Mr. Chance. After all, we are all members of the Central Alchemist Guild. As our abilities grow, so too does the strength of our Guild,” said the woman.
Jared was at a loss for words, feeling as though favonovel.com had been guilt tripped.
Indeed, Jared had agreed to join the Central Alchemist Guild. Besides, Wyatt had agreed to let both Viola and Sigurd join as well without any hesitation.
These two individuals’ sudden appearance left Jared at a loss for what to do.
After a moment of contemplation, Jared finally said, “All right, you two can join me. However, you’re well aware of the perils of Cauldron Peak. If anything unexpected happens, I won’t be held responsible.”
“No problem!”
Both of them nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
Left with no other choice, Jared reluctantly set off on the journey with the two individuals.
Viola and Sigurd had no objections, after all, they were both from the Central Alchemist Guild.
Throughout their journey, Viola and Sigurd engaged in conversation with two alchemists. As the dialogue unfolded, it was revealed that the alchemists, named Felipe and Freya, were in fact siblings.
They were all Seventh Level Tribulators, their powers considered powerful in the circle of cultivators.
