A Man Like None Other Chapter 2517

“The place we were robbed at is straight ahead, Jared! I’m not sure if Ali and the others are still there, though. Regardless, we shouldn’t go deep into the mountains because there are many powerful demon beasts there. They are terrifyingly powerful, but that makes them all the more valuable. Their flesh and beast cores are worth a lot of money. Once I cultivate and get stronger, I’m going to hunt those demon beasts deep within the mountain for money and show the people of Cyan Village who’s boss!” said Percy with a determined look in his eyes.

He had always dreamed of getting stronger and becoming a powerful individual someday. “I’ll take you demon beast hunting once I’m fully healed,” Jared said while patting Percy on the head.

“I heard the villagers say you are an incredibly powerful person. Even our stone house was unable to keep you trapped. Is that true?” the young boy asked. To which Jared nodded and affirmed, “Yes, that’s true.”

“Whoa… You’re unbelievably powerful, Jared! Could you teach me how to cultivate? I want to be as powerful as you are!” Percy exclaimed, only to let out a disappointed sigh seconds later. “Then again, you were almost beaten to death, which means you’re not the strongest person out there. I want to be the strongest!”

Jared patted Percy on the head and said with a smile, “I believe in you, Percy. You’re definitely going to become the strongest guy out there.” Percy is probably still too young to understand what it is like to be the strongest…

Percy then continued leading the way for a little while longer. Upon reaching the spot that he mentioned earlier, he glanced about and asked with a frown, “We’re here, but where is everybody?”

“What’s wrong, Percy?” Jared asked. “Ali, Emily, and the others were captured here, but I don’t see them anywhere. See that? I made a mark on the tree!” Percy replied while pointing at a tree trunk.

“Could it be that they have brought them over to Cyan Village?” Jared asked. “It’s possible. If that is the case, then we’re in big trouble. We won’t be able to rescue them, so we’ll have to pay them a ransom in spirit coins!” Percy exclaimed with a frown.

“Percy, do you know where Cyan Village is?” Jared asked. “Of course, I do! All you have to do is get through here and make your way around that hill, but the sky will probably be dark by the time we get there. Even if we get to Cyan Village before dark, there’s not much the two of us can do. We might even end up getting captured as well!” Percy replied.

“Is there no shortcut to Cyan Village?” Jared couldn’t help but wonder why they had to take such a long route to get there. “There is one. We could just cut through these mountains, but the demon beasts in the mountains are ridiculously powerful. No one takes this route because it’s too dangerous!”

“We’ll be fine, so just take me there. Emily and the others could be in danger if we wait any longer.” Jared’s tone brimmed with confidence.

Percy stared at Jared for a few seconds before nodding in response. The aura of the demon beasts grew increasingly stronger as the two got deeper into the mountains, prompting Percy to tighten his grip on his sword. He was so nervous that his forehead was drenched in cold sweat. “Calm down, Percy! I’ll protect you!” Jared reassured him.

Those words had barely left Jared’s mouth when a Demon Wolf ran past them. Percy immediately raised his bow and got ready to shoot, but Jared quickly stopped him. He had a feeling that the Demon Wolf was not after them, and his guess was confirmed when he saw the blood around the Demon Wolf’s mouth.

Hmm… That Demon Wolf must be really full if it ignored us completely. That’s why it didn’t even try to attack us!
