With a swift swing of his sword, Jared unleashed a terrifying blade light, coupled with demonic fire, instantly decapitating a demon beast.
The head tumbled to the ground, and the polar stone it had been holding in its mouth fell out.
Jared waved his hand, and the polar stone found its way into his grasp.
The polar stone was chilling to the touch, carrying a faint electric current, which should be the effect of the magnetic field.
Upon witnessing the death of their companion, the rest of the demon beasts went into a frenzy and charged toward Jared relentlessly.
However, it was all in vain. The demon beasts that rushed toward Jared all met their end under his sword.
The polar stones from their mouths all started to fall, which Jared promptly picked up.
Several demon beasts had been present, but in the end, only one remained. It stared at Jared in terror, too frightened to launch another attack.
The demon beast slowly lowered its body, showing signs of submission. It even spat out the precious polar stone it had been holding in its mouth willingly.
Seeing that, Jared stepped forward and picked up the polar stone. Casually, he patted the demon beast.
The demon beast remained completely still, showing an exceptional level of docility.
In the presence of the powerful, only absolute obedience and submission could ensure survival.
It seems that this demon beast is quite intelligent.
Jared gazed at the docile demon beast, then turned his attention to the ones that had perished. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of profound melancholy.
In truth, he held no grudge against these demon beasts. His only motive was to acquire the polar stones.
Such was the way of the Ethereal Realm, where individuals, driven by resources and benefits, could easily disregard familial ties, not to mention the relationship between humans and demon beasts.
There were no everlasting friendships, only everlasting interests.
Jared didn’t kill the last demon beast. He turned to leave, but after only a couple of steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Since these demon beasts could locate the polar stones and use them for their cultivation, Jared could use them to find the polar stones.
Moreover, he could even ride on this demon beast, making things a lot easier.
Flying in this area was quite challenging, so finding a mount could be an option.
Jared turned around, advancing once more toward the demon beast. Fear was clearly etched in the demon beast’s eyes.
“You needn’t fear. I won’t kill you. Lead me to the polar stones now. Once I’ve gathered enough, I’ll set you free. I’ll even give you some for your own cultivation.”
The demon beast understood Jared’s words and nodded emphatically.
Jared made himself comfortable atop the demon beast. Its entire body was covered in soft, fluffy fur, giving off a warm sensation when he sat on it.
After traveling a distance with the demon beast, Jared noticed a reaction from the metal rod in his hand once again.
Following that, the demon beast used its massive claws to scrape away the accumulated snow, revealing several fist-sized polar stones beneath.
Jared immediately tossed the polar stones into his Storage Ring.
And so, with the help of this demon beast, Jared found more and more polar stones, accumulating over a hundred of them. Moreover, sitting on the demon beast was incredibly comfortable.
However, Jared could not find the polar stone mine. He wondered when he would be able to find enough for the use of Lunarius Palace.
And it seemed that the demon beast didn’t actually know where to find a large amount of polar stones.
The day went by just like that.
Jared regrouped with Bianca and the others.
Upon seeing Jared riding a demon beast, the numerous holy maidens found it utterly fascinating.
Intrigued, Bianca asked, “Mr. Chance, what kind of demon beast are you riding?”
“I’m not sure myself. I was just too tired from walking, so I grabbed one to ride,” Jared casually remarked.
“This is a snow bear beast, the most common creature in the polar region. But don’t worry, snow bear beasts are generally docile and won’t attack unless they feel threatened.”
At that moment, Yuliya began to speak.
Throughout that day, Yuliya had been unable to recover. As a young woman, she had been publicly stripped bare by Jared, who had not only looked but also touched her body. She had been struggling to accept what had happened.
Nonetheless, she was aware that she couldn’t blame Jared for this. After all, Jared had only tried to save her.
