Soon, Jared noticed that a crimson mouse had unexpectedly returned. It squeaked incessantly at him and even nibbled on the hem of his trousers!
Jared understood that the crimson mouse must have found something significant to behave in such a manner. But it has only been a short while. Could the crimson mouse have already discovered an exit?
Jared followed it, heading toward a fork in the path, with Demon Flogger dragging Maurice along behind him.
There was a crucial reason why Jared spared Maurice. He wanted to demonstrate to Harlan that conspiring with the Ghost Mask Sect would lead to the same fate for them all.
After following the crimson mouse for a short distance, Jared encountered a wall blocking his path.
“A dead end?”
Jared furrowed his brows, asking, “Why have you brought me to this dead end?”
He was somewhat irritated. No wonder the crimson mouse had returned so quickly. It had run into a dead end! But why was it leading me here, even though it’s a dead end?
“Man, even with some spiritual intelligence, you’re still as foolish as ever!” Jared sighed, ready to turn around and walk away.
However, the crimson mouse stopped Jared, squeaking desperately and occasionally biting at the hem of his pants!
That left Jared annoyed and irritated.
“Is it possible that our way out lies beyond that wall?” asked Vermilion Demon Lord all of a sudden.
Upon hearing that, Jared was stunned for a second. He then walked over to the wall and gently placed his hand on it.
At that moment, Jared’s eyes widened as he sensed that something was amiss.
As Jared projected his spiritual sense into the wall, he astonishingly discovered that behind it, strands of flame aura were surging. Moreover, the aura was incredibly pure and intense, bearing a striking resemblance to the flaming energy found within the flame bugs.
If this were truly a dead end, it would be impossible for such a strong flame aura to emerge from beyond the wall. Considering the current circumstances, there must be a path behind the wall. Perhaps, this could be our way out!
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you,” Jared was rather embarrassed and apologized to the crimson mouse.
It seemed as though the crimson mouse understood Jared’s words, as it began to squeak excitedly. Jared then swung his hand, delivering a fierce blow to the wall in front of him.
Boom!
Despite the thunderous noise echoing, the wall before them surprisingly remained steadfast, refusing to budge an inch, much to Jared’s utter astonishment.
To Jared, destroying a mountain or smashing down a wall was an incredibly simple task. However, the wall in front of him remained entirely undamaged!
“What kind of rock is this? It’s exceptionally hard!”
As Jared spoke, he drew forth his Dragonslayer Sword, then with all his might, he swung it down forcefully.
He swung his sword over a dozen times, yet there was no damage done to the wall whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Jared was breaking out in a cold sweat, gasping heavily for air!
The situation left Jared dumbfounded. Knowing that the way out lay behind the wall was of little use if he could not overcome the obstacle right in front of him!
“Perhaps this wall can’t be smashed open by force?”
Jared began to scrutinize it carefully. If there’s any kind of arcane array here, it would need to be deciphered first. There’s no way to forcefully open it!
Jared had inspected for quite a while, but it turned out there were no arcane arrays or array runes to be found.
Jared knitted his brows, completely lost in his thoughts.
“F*ck, this is really strange! Why won’t it open?”
Jared was rendered speechless.
Upon witnessing the situation, Vermilion Demon Lord gradually vanished, retreating back into Jared’s consciousness field.
As Jared returned to his consciousness field, he suggested, “Try using the Nethersky Eye. Perhaps it might help us get to the bottom of things.”
Jared could not use the Nethersky Eye on his own, for it required the presence of the Vermilion Demon Lord.
Jared nodded, and as one of his eyes slowly opened, he was shocked to discover that the wall in front of him had completely vanished!
In its place, there was a door emanating a radiant white light.
“A Teleportation Array? Can this teleport us out of here?”
Upon discovering the door, Jared was instantly filled with immense joy!
