Chapter 2540 It Should Be Nearby


    Upon hearing the wolf howl, Jared knew at once Leifr was making the sound.


    “Stay alert and stay close, everyone,” Jared reminded Ali and the others in an undertone.


    Jared knew any demon beast capable of transforming into a human was very powerful. If Leifr were


    to lead the wolf pack toward them, everyone would be in danger.


    However, just when everyone was incredibly tense and braced themselves for battle, the hundreds


    of Demon Wolves gradually retreated, disappearing into the jungle without a trace.


    The unexpected turns of events rendered the crowd dumbfounded. After all, Demon Wolves were


    vicious demon beasts, so why would they retreat when they had an absolute advantage?


    “Why are they pulling back?” Brutus asked confusedly.


    Francois didn''t answer because he was clueless as well as to why the Demon Wolves had left.


    “Could the Demon Wolves be scheming something? They''re smart creatures, and I even noticed


    some of them have developed spiritual intelligence,” Chev said.


    “Regardless of what they are scheming, we must leave quickly.” Francois led the group forward


    swiftly, wanting to leave the Demon Wolves'' territory as soon as possible.


    Seeing that, Chev also led his men to tread on Francois'' heels.


    However, the retreating Demon Wolves didn''t reappear, nor did they give chase.


    Right after their departure, Leifr slowly stepped out of the shadows, apanied by a beautiful


    young girl. The girl looked about twenty and had charming dimples when she smiled.


    Astonishingly, standing beside that sweet and delicate-looking girl, Leifr appeared anxious. He kept


    his head down and did not dare to gaze directly at her.

    “Princess, did you see the man who had the celestial beast aura on him?” Leifr asked in a low


    voice.


    “Yes, I saw him. He''s quite handsome, but I wonder why he carries the celestial beast aura. I should


    find an opportunity to take him to see my father and let my father examine him.”


    She bolted in the direction Jared and the others were heading while Leifr followed closely behind


    her, nervously protecting her.


    Meanwhile, Jared and the others had already left the Demon Wolves'' territory after traveling in great


    haste for some time, which eased everyone''s tension slightly.


    However, they were now deep into the mountain range. Even after leaving the Demon Wolves''


    territory, there were still other high-level demon beasts lurking.


    Those vigers were defenseless against those high-level demon beasts. They could only rely on


    Francois and the others'' protection.


    “I''m catching whiffs of the Grus Divina. It should be nearby. Let''s hurry.” Francois rushed in a


    specific direction.


    Approximately ten minutester, Jared and the others found themselves facing a charrednd.


    The ground was entirely ck, devoid of any grass. Even the surrounding trees were extremely


    withered as if they had been burned by fire.


    Bones and corpses of numerous demon beasts littered the charrednd. The carcasses were intact,


    showing no visible wounds, but they were severely deted. It was obvious their blood had been


    drained.


    A nauseating stench filled the air, and a dense lethal intent lingered in the atmosphere.


    No one knew where the bloodthirsty beast was hiding. Many were sweating from nervousness, and


    the more timid ones copsed on the spot upon taking in the scene.


    “How could a mystical herb grow in such a ce? It''s barren here!” Percy muttered as he scanned


    his surroundings.
