“Precisely. We'll let these people deal with the tiger demon. Then, while the tiger demon is gobbling them up, we can take another route to get around it.”
Joel intended to let Jared and the others become the tiger demon's meal so that he and his companions could sneak past the beast while it was busy devouring its prey!
“Uh... That doesn't sound like a good idea,” Danny said uneasily.
“Not a good idea? What's wrong with it? We're in a life-or-death situation now. Don't tell me you're thinking of letting them live and sending us to our deaths?” Joel questioned Danny in a frosty tone while frowning.
Danny did not know what to say in response.
Seeing how Danny was standing there motionlessly, Joel personally led the other members toward Jared.
While Jared was feeling frustrated over the knowledge that the tiger demon had been raised by humans and could not be tamed, he noticed that Joel and his men had already surrounded them.
The members of Flaming Sect were all staring menacingly at Jared and his companions while holding weapons.
Joel wore an icy expression as he said, “The tiger demon is blocking the way. Since you chose to follow us, you'll have to pay a price.”
“What do you mean?” Jared enquired, feigning ignorance.
In truth, Jared had guessed what was going on when he noticed Joel and his gang hemming them in.
“Go and fight that tiger demon,” Joel replied bluntly.
Shocked, Anne turned to Joel and demanded, “What? You want us to take on the tiger demon? It's obvious the creature is utterly vicious. With our rudimentary skills, wouldn't us trying to fight it mean certain death?”
Joel whipped out a bronze handbell. Then, a burst of hypnotic aura erupted from his body and instantly engulfed Jared's group.
“If you go and kill the tiger demon, you might have a chance of survival. If you don't, however, you'll undoubtedly perish...”
After he said that, the members of Flaming Sect glared at Jared and the rest with murderous looks and pointed their weapons directly at them.
