Jared was more concerned that Poison King wouldn't use poison on him. He wished that Poison King would let loose all the poisonous creatures on him. That way, Jared could absorb all their toxic energy into his body and use Focus Technique to convert them into spiritual energy. Then, he could use the spiritual energy to raise his capabilities.
“Jared, are you crazy?” Melanie looked at Jared in disbelief.
Only Rayleigh understood Jared's intention. He smiled and said, “It's good for Jared to go to Mapleton and deal with the matters there. That would prevent future troubles.”
Since Rayleigh agreed with Jared, no one dared to say anything else.
Lyanna looked at Jared and warned, “Jared, things are not as simple as you think. You should think it over.”
Jared replied firmly, “I don't need to think it over. If I don't go with you, you know what kind of punishment you will have to face in Mapleton. Don’t try to convince me that Poison King would be forgiving. I won't believe it.”
Lyanna did not expect Jared to be concerned about her or willing to face danger for her. Therefore, she hesitated before saying, “I need to tell you something. Godfather wanted me to bring you back alive to turn you into a cadaver king. To form a cadaver king, one needs to send a living person into a room full of poisonous creatures and let those creatures bite him. Furthermore, the person would have to be shut there for seven days. If he survived after seven days, he would become cadaver king. So far, no one had succeeded yet.”
Everyone was shocked to hear Lyanna's revelation. They did not expect Poison King to do something that cruel and use humans for such experiments.
“Jared, you can't go. Please don't go...” Josephine held onto Jared's arm and refused to let go. She could not let Jared face such danger.
On the other hand, Jared became even more excited upon hearing Lyanna's explanation. Initially, he planned to go to Mapleton to find poisonous creatures. Since Poison King wanted to turn Jared into a cadaver king, that was more than Jared could ask. He could not wait to absorb all the poison from those poisonous creatures. That way, he might even progress to a new rank. “Don't worry. I will be fine!” Jared comforted Josephine before turning to Lyanna. “Let's go now. I just can't wait any longer.”
