Chapter 487 Stuck Forever
Three of them knew that their families would engage in a bloody battle once they found the vein mine. Before that, no one wished to fall out with the other.
“All right. I’ll let you live a little longer!” Isaiah sneered and brought his men to go uphill.
Immediately, the Larsons also left with their subordinates, leaving Jayden and his men behind.
“George, how powerful are these two families?” Jayden whispered to George.
“There are as many as six Grandmasters who belong to the Fergusons. However, I can’t read the elder with a goatee. We don’t have to worry about the Larsons, for they only have three Grandmasters,” George said confidently.
“Thank you, Mr. Jenson!” Jayden was ecstatic after hearing George’s analysis.
Meanwhile, Jared chuckled silently upon hearing it. Although George was a good martial arts fighter, he was terrible at reading people. After all, Jared could tell at a glance that the Fergusons had ten Grandmasters, while the elder was probably a master of magecraft.
Besides, the Larsons had nine Grandmasters, the strongest of which was over two meters tall. Although the tall and sturdy guy always had a blank gaze, he was as strong as George.
It’s too early to tell who will win in the end! Jayden is too optimistic about the situation!
After walking for a while, Tessa came up to Jared and whispered, “Jared, you have to follow me closely when we enter Devil’s Forest. You won’t be able to escape once you’re lost!”
“Devil’s Forest?” Jared was stunned.
“The forest is spooky. A lot of people entered the forest and went missing. Besides, no one had ever found the bodies of the missing persons. Therefore, we call it Devil’s Forest. Anyway, don’t worry about it. Just follow me closely, and you’ll be all right. My team has several guides who always hunt in forests and they have even entered Devil’s Forest many times!” Tessa explained to Jared in the hope of soothing his worries.
“Okay, I got you!” Jared replied and flashed Tessa a faint smile.
At that time, Daxton, who wasn’t far away, observed how Tessa and Jared interacted. His expression turned cold, while his eyes burned with jealousy and hatred.
Since the spiritual energy was more than downhill, Jared used the Focus Technique to breathe in as much of it as possible.
When everyone saw a forest, the Fergusons and the Larsons went missing. Hence, everyone thought the spooky forest had consumed them.
“Be careful and don’t stray from our group and don’t wander around. If you’ve lost your way in Devil’s Forest, just stay where you are, use a signal gun, and wait for rescue!” Jayden reminded everyone in a loud voice.
Once Jayden finished, someone began distributing signal guns to everyone. One had to pull the trigger to shoot a red signal and red smoke into the sky.
Since the lush trees blocked the sunlight, the forest was pitch-black like a beast had opened its mouth wide, waiting to devour its prey.
“Mr. Chance, I… I’m a little scared!”
Dominic gulped, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“It’s fine. Just follow me closely and stop worrying,” Jared comforted Dominic.
After nodding in response, Dominic followed Jared while gripping the signal gun tightly.
Tessa was a few meters in front. She would turn around occasionally to check on Jared and the rest, worrying that they couldn’t catch up.
Suddenly, one of the subordinates of the Snyders came up to Tessa and said, “Ms. Snyder, Mr. Snyder wants you to go to the front and stay with him.”
“I’m not going. Tell my dad that I’ll walk with Jared and the rest!” With that, Tessa sent him away.
Tessa had her worries. Since Jared and Dominic were outsiders, Jayden would probably abandon them if they had lost their way. If she walked with them, Jayden would have no choice but to take care of all of them.
