“No, you’re wrong, Mr. Nesser. We’re not here by choice.” Tyrone proceeded to tell Cameron about the matter of the airship crashing in detail.
When Cameron heard that Jared was the one who freed the three wyverns, leading to the airship crashing, he couldn’t help scrutinizing the man.
“This kid’s cultivation level doesn’t seem that high, Mr. Stone. Wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for you to kill him?” Wyverns were incredibly precious to Stellaris Sect. As such, it made no sense that Tyrone would let Jared off the hook when the man freed the wyverns.
“I do have plans to kill him. Regretfully, this is Bloodthirsty Thunderhawks’ territory. We bumped into a legion of demon beasts, so we got separated. I never expected him to have such guts to come to Hawk King Cave as well.”
While speaking. Tyrone shot a glare at Jared. “Don’t make a move here, Mr. Stone. If Thunderhawk were alerted to our presence, we’d all be doomed,” Cameron hastily advised.
Naturally, Tyrone knew that as well. Otherwise, he would have made a move as soon as he caught sight of Jared. Jared merely watched the two men without doing anything. Many people were presently there, and they all had their sights set on the heavenly thunder fruit.
He needed to figure out a way to conserve his strength so he could get his hands on the heavenly thunder fruit at the right time.
“Since you came here specifically for the heavenly thunder fruit, Mr. Nesser, you must have made all the preparations. How about you bring your men in to check things out first?” Tyrone proposed to Cameron.
He was aware that the men he had brought with him were cultivators from the airship, and some were merely new acquaintances. Despite their number, they would not be effective in combat.
However, the same could not be said of Cameron. The men he had brought with him were all elites of the Nesser family. Although. there were only a dozen of them, they could act together and obey his orders to the tee.
That was the reason Tyrone asked Cameron to take the lead. If there were any danger, it would fall on the latter first. “Sure!” Cameron agreed readily because he knew that Thunderhawk was likely not in the cave.
At that time, the person to enter the cave first would undoubtedly have a great advantage. Tyrone was visibly surprised by Cameron’s brisk agreement. Subsequently, Cameron led those of the Nesser family into the cave slowly.
Tyrone and his men stood guard outside. If there were any signs of danger, they would flee immediately. After all, no one wanted to face Thunderhawk, a Tribulator warrior.
They remained motionless, but Jared led the Three Bandits into the cave with the Nesser family. Frowning slightly, Cameron cast him a look but paid him no mind.
In his opinion, Jared was merely a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm and posed no threat to them. As Cameron led them all deeper, Jared sensed the might of the lightning power more intensely. Soon, a ray of light flashed past, and everyone. was greeted by a sight that sent their hearts. racing.
In the center of Hawk King Cave stood a massive heavenly thunder tree. It had lush leaves and thriving branches. Around it zipped infinite bolts of lightning, just like tentacles of jellyfish dancing.
On the tree were ten fist-sized heavenly thunder fruits that shimmered with the glow of lightning.
“Heavenly thunder fruit!” Cameron exclaimed in excitement at the sight of the fruits. At the loud cry, Jared instantly jumped in fright, afraid that it might draw Thunderhawk out.
Fortunately, there was no movement in Hawk King Cave. Relief suffused him. Phew! If he lured Thunderhawk out, none of us would be able to leave this place alive!
“Thunderhawk is indeed not here. Lady luck is simply smiling on me!” Cameron gushed joyfully. It was only after hearing that did Jared understand why the man dared to enter the cave first.
“I’ll go and pick the heavenly thunder fruit, Dad!” Chev offered excitedly with his eyes fixed on the rounded fruits.
