Meanwhile, Jared and his companions still hadn’t found a way to escape. Having been trapped inside, everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted..
Even if they didn’t absorb the ice crystal’s energy, their spiritual sense was still gradually being drained away. The blood essence of the ice soul beasts continued to flow out from inside the five ice coffins.
“Are we just going to wait for our demise?” Konce roared as panic got the better of him. “Does it look like we have a choice? We’re all trapped in here together. You’re not the only one who’s anxious!” Sunny retorted.
As the three of them were the strongest among the group, no one else dared to utter a word. “F*ck! We shouldn’t have come in here in the first place. This is all your fault. Looking for the treasure was your idea,” Konce snapped at Sunny.
“My idea, but you didn’t have to come. You looked forward to this more than us. Now that we’re trapped, you end up blaming me for it,” Sunny said with dissatisfaction. Just as a fight was about to break out between the two, Lofton immediately stopped them.
These moments of waiting for death were the most painful and stressful experience. Jared continued to study the patterns in detail as he racked his brain for a solution. Unfortunately, their combined powers were still not enough to open the sealed exit.
If they were to break it by force, they might end up hurting themselves from the ensuing backlash. However, if they were to wait without doing anything, they would be killed when they were drained dry of their spiritual sense.
Just as everyone was at a loss, a drop of blood essence flowed out of the ice coffin and onto the patterns. The patterns began to glow before fading away quickly. However, the red hue of the blood grew increasingly vibrant.
Jared could feel Demon Flogger react again inside his Storage Ring, a sign that it had detected the demonic aura. However, there were no more Demonic Cultivators among them, while Jared’s demonic aura had already been fused into the Power of Three. On top of that, Demon Flogger had never reacted to Jared’s demonic aura.
“Mr. Chance, it seems the seal might break soon. The spirits of demons being imprisoned within it will swarm out anytime,” Faiyar informed Jared.
