Chapter 2518 Scared To Death

Chapter 2518 Scared To Death“I smell human blood. Someone must be injured up ahead!” Jared said.
He had detected the strong smell of human blood when the Demon Wolf ran past them.
“Human blood? Could it be Ali and the others?” Percy exclaimed anxiously.
“Come on; let's go check it out!” Jared said and followed the scent of the blood.
They soon stumbled upon a corpse that had been mauled into a bloody mess.
“Oh, my goodness!”
As Percy was still a child, this was his first time seeing such a gruesome sight. He was so shocked and
disgusted that he threw up on the spot.
Jared had a little furrow between his eyebrows as he bent over to inspect the corpse. However, he
couldn't recognize the deceased person as the face had been too badly mutilated.
“Percy, is this person from Rock Village?” Jared asked.
Percy pinched his nose and forced himself to take a peek. “No, this person is from Cyan Village. You
can recognize them based on their clothing.”
“What would someone from Cyan Village be doing here? Could it be that they came to hide in the
mountains after capturing Emily and the others?” Jared asked with a confused frown. novelbinAfter giving it some thought, Jared stood up and took another glance at the corpse. People from the
mundane world wish they could live in the Ethereal Realm, and yet, the people here are struggling
every day just to survive.
“Jared, do you think the guys from Cyan Village are using Ali and the others as bait to capture high-
level demon beasts?” Percy asked.
“If they're using people from Rock Village as bait, then why would this corpse belong to someone from
Cyan Village? I think we should push forward and have a look!” Jared said as he grabbed Percy's arm
and started running.
As he observed his surroundings along the way, he noticed that there were bloodstains on the trees.
Moreover, it was human blood. It was a trail that could potentially lead Jared and Percy to the captured
villagers.
Awoooo!
While Jared and Percy were busy tracking the blood trail down, a Demon Wolf howled and came
running toward them. Its mouth was covered in blood as it glared viciously at them.
The Demon Wolf was probably still hungry as it had set its sights on them.
Jared's expression slid into a frown when he detected the terrifying aura coming from the Demon Wolf.
“Looks like I haven't recovered enough. I can't believe I failed to notice this Demon Wolf in advance!”
Jared mumbled to himself. Under normal circumstances, he would have detected this Demon Wolf's powerful aura from a few
miles away.
The fact that this Demon Wolf was able to get this close without him noticing showed he had yet to
recover his spiritual sense.
Percy's hands were trembling uncontrollably as he held his sword up and stared the Demon Wolf down.
The poor boy was scared to death.
Since it was just the two of them going against that Demon Wolf, Percy figured they would not stand a
chance at survival.
Jared instinctively reached his right arm out and tried to summon his Dragonslayer Sword, only to
realize he couldn't do so.
Oh, that's right! The sword spirit, Zelda, is still recovering from her injuries! How could I forget that?
When Percy saw Jared grabbing at the air with his right hand, he assumed Jared was asking him for a
weapon and handed Jared his sword.
Jared simply flashed him a faint smile in response. Oh, well... This isn't Dragonslayer Sword, but it's
better than fighting that Demon Wolf empty-handed!
The Demon Wolf let out a fierce roar and charged at Jared with lightning speed.
Percy was so scared that he instinctively took a few steps back. As Jared had no idea how much he had recovered, he had no choice but to take the Demon Wolf very
seriously.
