When Jared came down from the altar, Flaxseed stepped forward and patted Jared’s shoulder. “Brat, you got lucky again.” Jared only flashed a small smile and then looked around. “I heard at tiger demon’s roaring. Where’s its beast core?”
Both Gilbert and Evangeline turned to Flaxseed. However, Flaxseed covered his pocket and said, “Jared, I went through the trouble of coming here with you. Can’t I have one beast core? Don’t tell me you want to take this too.”
“Of course not. This time, it’s thanks to you. What is one beast core? You can take ten of them, and it’ll still be fine.” Jared smiled. “At least you have a conscience.” Flaxseed relaxed at Jared’s words.
At this time, Gilbert whispered, “Mr. Chance, you should check up on Princess Anne. She hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for the past few days and has been incredibly glum.”
Jared finally noticed Anne hidden in a corner. She had gotten a lot skinnier in just a few days. He knew she must be depressed after receiving a blow like this. Thus, Jared walked over to her.
“Princess Anne, people’s minds are unfathomable. There is no need to be so heartbroken over a traitor,” Jared persuaded.
However, Anne shook her head. “I’m not sad because of Andrew’s betrayal. However, saving Father is probably impossible since the King of Herbs is not here.”
After Anne found out that the King of Herbs was just a lie, she had been constantly worried about her father’s safety.
When Jared understood the cause of Anne’s sadness, he said confidently, “Princess Anne, don’t worry. Once the matter with the ancient ruins has been settled, I’ll go back with you. I’m confident in treating your father.”
“Really?” Anne’s eyes lit up, and she stared at Jared intently. “Of course. I wouldn’t dare to play a trick on the princess of Seneris.” Jared smiled faintly.
Anne was instantly reinvigorated, and she started smiling again. “Jared, do we leave, or are we going into the tomb of swords?” Flaxseed walked over and asked.
“Mr. Flaxseed, have you found the entrance to the tomb of swords while I was cultivating? We can’t just jump into the abyss, right?” Jared knew Flaxseed definitely had not slacked off during the past few days.
“I found it, but we can’t enter…” Flaxseed replied awkwardly. “Why not? Is there an arcane array blocking the way?” Jared asked.
“No, not an arcane array but a sword array. None of us here know any sword technique, so we can’t undo the sword array,” Flaxseed explained.
None of them knew sword techniques, and even if they did, it was barely the basics. Hence, it was impossible to break the sword array. Once he heard that it was a sword array, Jared’s interest was piqued. “Lead the way.”
Flaxseed nodded and led Jared inside the ancient ruins to a cave entrance that was only a little over one meter tall. The inside of the cave was dark and showed no indication of where it led toward.
“After we pass through this cave, we’ll arrive at the tomb of swords. However, you must be careful. There is a strong sword energy inside the cave, and that sword array is also ominous.
You might die in there if you’re not careful. If you really can’t handle it, let’s just head back. Don’t throw away your life on this,” Flaxseed convinced Jared. “Since we’re already here, I must give it a try.”
After saying that, Jared entered the cave without hesitation. If any accident were to happen in this narrow cave, there was nowhere near enough space for Jared to dodge.
However, Jared believed in Flaxseed. If Flaxseed had come into this cave before, it meant that there was no danger within it anymore. After walking inside the cave for more than ten minutes, the view in front of Jared suddenly brightened.
An expanse of primeval forest spread out in front of his eyes. The temperature in this place was very high, unlike the snow-white plain outside the cave.
Furthermore, there was a large amount of spiritual energy here. A thin layer of mist flowed continuously above the ground as if this place was an immortal’s domain.
