Chapter 2453 Mistrust


    Upon seeing that, xseed was enraged. Even though we''re in the Ethereal Realm, these people are


    super weak! I can kill them all with a wave of my hand. Why should I listen to their threats?


    Just as xseed was about tounch an attack, Jared stopped him. Thetter didn''t want the former to


    injure the inhabitants in the Ethereal Realm willy-nilly.


    Meanwhile, Hammerhead smiled wordlessly. It would appear he was deliberately letting Jared


    experience the animosity between the humans in the Ethereal Realm.


    “All right, we''ll go with you.” Jared nodded at Ali.


    Momentster, everyone marched toward Rock Vige. It was a moderately-sized settlement with


    around a hundred and ten families. Arcane arrays were installed around the borders, likely to ward off


    demon beasts.


    There were two towers to the west of the vige. Both were only over a dozen meters tall. Guards with


    weapons were stationed inside the towers and at the gate.


    As Jared gazed at the small settlement, he wondered, Why is the defense of this ce so tight?


    When Ali brought Jared''s group through the gate, many people greeted the man.


    The vigers studied the strangers with curiosity. A few children even followed behind Jared''s group,


    scrutinizing them.


    The settlers'' odd reactions piqued Jared''s interest in Rock Vige. How many viges like this exist in


    the Ethereal Realm? Initially, I thought everyone in the Ethereal Realm was an expert and that I would


    see Manifestors everywhere I went here. However, Rock Vige is theplete opposite of how I


    imagined the Ethereal Realm to be.


    “Let Clovis handle the demon beast''s corpse, Emily. Tomorrow, I''ll help you sell its pelt and beast core


    in the city. Then, I''ll use the money to help you buy some medicine for your grandmother. Remember,


    don''t sneak out of the vige to hunt for a demon beast alone again. It''s too dangerous. Even if you


    don''t get eaten by a demon beast, you may still be in danger if you bump into people from other


    viges,” admonished Ali after they all entered Rock Vige.


    “I know...” Emily lowered her head aggrievedly.


    Upon seeing that, Ali patted her head and asked someone to carry the demon beast''s corpse away.


    After that, he invited Jared''s group to a stone house. Before Jared stepped into the building, he noticed


    it was surrounded by arcane arrays. However, instead of pointing that out, he ambled inside.


    His silence was for no other reason than that those arcane arrays were child''s y for him to break.


    Once inside the rock house, Ali turned to Jared. “Rest here. I''ll send people to deliver you all some


    food.”


    Then, he left.


    The moment he stepped outside, a brilliant white light shed. Glowing pirs instantly surrounded the


    building, trapping Jared''s group inside.


    When xseed saw the cage of light, he was stunned before cursing at Ali loudly, “You backstabbing


    motherf*cker! How dare you confine us here!”


    In response, Ali red at xseed coldly and departed wordlessly.


    “Godd*mmit. What''s with the humans in the Ethereal Realm? I feel like they all have a loose screw in


    their heads,” grumbled xseed.


    “I told you two, didn''t I? The most terrifying thing in the Ethereal Realm is the human heart. Here,


    humans will always be suspicious of others,” Hammerhead stated with a faint smile.


    With a sigh, Jaredmented, “It seems the humans in the Ethereal Realm are experiencing a serious


    case of mistrust. Even though the people of the mundane world believe the Ethereal Realm is heaven,


    it is anything but.” Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
