Chapter 2451 Most Terrifying
Upon witnessing that, Jared couldn''t stand by and watch any longer. He ignored Hammerhead''s
warning and shot a golden light toward the demon beast with a flick of his right finger.
The demon beast roared after getting hit by the golden light and copsed to the ground, dead.
With his current power, Jared was strong enough to kill that level of demon beast with just a wave of
his hand.
Seeing that the beast was dead, the young woman crawled to her feet with a baffled and frightened
look.
Momentster, she timidly faced Jared. “T-Thank you.”
Suddenly, everyone heard furious roarsing from the distance while the ground shook.
“This is bad!” Hammerhead knitted his eyebrows. “Arge group of demon beasts is heading toward
us. We must leave post-haste!”
“You should escape quickly, miss. Many demon beasts are charging here,” reminded Jared as he
prepared to depart with Hammerhead.
However, the young woman snapped her sight toward the dead demon beast before lifting it onto
her back.
Gritting her teeth, she trudged forward one step at a time, that feat visibly straining her.
Jared was perplexed to see that. Why is she carrying the demon beast''s corpse instead of
escaping?
“You should ditch the body and flee, miss! Otherwise, the iing demon beasts will catch up to
you!” he shouted.
That didn''t dissuade her from continuing her efforts as sweat and blood drenched her body.
Seeing that the horde of demon beasts was about to arrive, Jared couldn''t bear to watch the young
woman be eaten alive. Hence, he grabbed her and leaped hundreds of meters away in an instant.
After they were beyond ten kilometers away from the horde, Jared ceased his movements.
Meanwhile, Hammerhead peered at Jared with disapproval.
xseed approached the young woman and reprimanded, “Why did you risk your life for this
demon beast corpse, youngdy?”
As she stared at his scowl, she bit her lip. An aggrieved look swirled in her eyes before she abruptly
burst into tears.
xseed was startled and was at a loss for what to do.
“I wanted this demon beast corpse because I could exchange it for spirit coins and treat my
grandma. My grandmother''s sick. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have tried to hunt a demon beast alone,” the
young woman uttered through her sobs.
“Stop crying, miss. We''ll send you back home. Where is it located?” Jared offered. He couldn''t help
it after he heard her sob story.
“My home is in Rock Vige, which isn''t too far from here!” The young woman pointed to the west.
“All right, we''ll escort you there right away,” said Jared before ncing at xseed. “You carry the
demon beast''s corpse.”Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“Why me?” xseed was taken aback.
“You made her cry, so you have to carry it for her.” Jared grinned.
Rolling his eyes, xseed lifted the demon beast corpse effortlessly.
Jared turned to Hammerhead. “Let''s send this youngdy home first, Master Hammerhead. Then,
we''ll head to Greenoxen Peak.”
In response, Hammerhead sighed. “I''m not stopping you because I''m a heartless man. The reason
is that you know too little of the affairs in the Ethereal Realm. Do you know what the most terrifying
thing is in the Ethereal Realm? It''s neither the demons nor the monsters. What''s most fearsome is
the human heart. Most humans aren''t killed by demons or monsters. Instead, they often meet their
end at the hands of the people closest to them. Know that there''s nothing people here won''t betray
for the sake of absolute benefit. Humans here are far, far scarier than demons or monsters.”
“You''re exaggerating, Master Hammerhead. Some people may be evil, but I still believe the good
ones are the majority. We''ll send this youngdy back home first.” Jared then asked the young
woman to lead them to Rock Vige.
