The damage he sustained from combusting his blood essence was far too great, so it was even possible that he could never regain his full strength. Even so, Jared’s physical body was so tough that the Demon Wolf would not be able to bite through his skin, let alone eat him up.
As the Demon Wolf drew close, Jared channeled all of his spiritual energy into the sword. He then stepped aside and slashed at the Demon Wolf with all of his might.
Blood came spraying out of the Demon Wolf’s abdomen as it jumped over Jared’s head. Jared’s attack had cut the Demon Wolf’s stomach wide open, causing its intestines to spill out a few seconds later.
Although Jared had only recovered a portion of his strength, killing a Demon Wolf was still a piece of cake for him. The Demon Wolf howled in agony after crashing into the ground. It then stared at Jared in fear before turning around.
Swoosh! The Demon Wolf was just about to run off when an arrow pierced its head. It was Percy who fired that arrow. He wasn’t so scared anymore when he saw Jared slice the Demon Wolf’s stomach open so easily. Having been shot in the head, the Demon Wolf collapsed and died without even making a sound.
“Whoa! Nice shot, Percy!” Jared complimented him. “You’re the real hero here. I wouldn’t even have the courage to reach for my bow if it weren’t for you!” Percy exclaimed with a look of admiration in his eyes.
He then walked up to the Demon Wolf and carved out its beast core with a dagger. Percy also skinned the Demon Wolf while he was at it, but he had to leave the meat behind. Demon Wolf flesh was worth a lot of money, so Percy was a little reluctant to leave it behind, but there was nothing much he could do.
As they were deep within the mountains, they had no means to take the Demon Wolf’s carcass with them. Noticing the reluctant look in Percy’s eyes, Jared said with a faint smile, “We’ll take this Demon Wolf’s flesh with us too!”
He then placed the Demon Wolf into his Storage Ring, much to Percy’s surprise. “What kind of sorcery is that, Jared? How did you make the Demon Wolf vanish into thin air?” he asked.
“I just put it into my Storage Ring, that’s all. I’ll retrieve it when we return to Rock Village, so you can sell it for some cash later!” Jared replied with a chuckle.
“Storage Ring, huh? That’s some good stuff you got there!” the young boy exclaimed. A whole Demon Wolf carcass was worth a ton of money, so it was understandable why Percy would get so excited. As the two of them continued pushing forward, they saw a guy lying under a tree. He was barely breathing, and his lower body had been completely devoured by the Demon Wolf. There was blood all over the ground.
Percy froze when he saw the person, only to burst out crying a few seconds later. “Emilio! Emilio! What happened to you? Where are Ali and the others?” he shouted while running up to the wounded guy. Emilio stared at Percy and opened his mouth, but he was so severely wounded that he couldn’t even say a word.
Realizing that this guy was from Rock Village, Jared quickly ran up to Emilio and injected his body with spiritual energy. Feeling a little better, Emilio panted heavily as he said, “Go save Ali and the others, Percy. They’re deep in the mountains…”
“Calm down and tell us what happened. Were you guys captured by people from Cyan Village?”
Jared wanted to know what happened to Emily and the others. Emilio licked his dry lips, prompting Jared to feed him some water from a bottle. However, Emilio spat it out a few seconds later. He was so badly injured that he couldn’t even drink.
