“M-Mr. Chance, I think we shouldn’t continue walking forward…” Dale said while trembling. Seeing Dale’s demeanor, Jared asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong? Are you intimidated by just a few roars?”
“It looks like you don’t know about this, Mr. Chance. It is rumored that a tiger demon lived here once. It was extremely gigantic, and it could devour a human in one bite! However, nobody had encountered the tiger demon for many years. Thus, it was slowly forgotten by the people and became a legend,” Dale explained.
Dale continued, “But now, it’s possible that the roar came from that tiger demon. Besides, the people who disappeared here were likely to be devoured by the tiger demon. I think we shouldn’t continue walking forward. It’s too dangerous…”
Although Dale knew Jared was a Greater Martial Arts Grandmaster, they would most likely become the legendary tiger demon’s meal if they encountered it.
“Is there really such a thing as a tiger demon here?” Jared looked shocked.
“If there is a tiger demon here, then there must be the King of Herbs as well. Whenever there is a stalk of King of Herbs in an area, there will definitely be a spirit beast protecting it.
Maybe the tiger demon is there to protect the King of Herbs.” Anne looked excited. At least, the tiger demon’s existence proved that the King of Herbs would certainly exist around the area.
Seeing that Jared and the others didn’t seem to fear the tiger demon at all and wanted to keep continuing their journey, Dale said with a perplexed expression, “Mr. Chance, my strength is low. I don’t dare to walk further at all. Besides, I’d never been to this snowy mountain before. I guess I can’t lead the way for you anymore.”
The meaning behind Dale’s remarks was clear. He wanted to quit the group and return home, as he was afraid.
“Mr. Thompson, thank you for bringing us here. Please be careful when you go home.” Jared didn’t blame Dale. After all, Dale was merely a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If he were to encounter any danger, he wouldn’t even be able to escape.
“Then I shall wait in town to celebrate your return…” Dale said.
After Dale had left, Jared and the others continued forward. Yet, the path was getting more and more difficult to cross. Not only that, but it was also leading toward the snowy mountain.
