“Old Mr. Giuvali, your aura looks good to me. You’ll probably be fine,” said Tamazi who hade


    forward. While speaking, he snuck a nce at Jared.


    His goal for interrupting was to not only ingratiate himself with Misho but also humiliate Jared.


    Nevertheless, Jared couldn’t be bothered, while Misho merely responded with a silent nod, for he was


    reluctant to let others know that he was injured.


    Even though Jared had extracted the lethal intent in his body, Misho wanted to keep secret the fact that


    he was wounded by a demon.


    “Mount Crimson is dangerous, so stay behind me and don’t wander off alone,” Hamish instructed


    everyone loudly.


    Meanwhile, Rostom said to Kiara, “Don’t be afraid Kiara. I’ll protect you.” However, Kiara rolled her


    eyes at him and paid him no heed. With that, they group began their journey deep into the mountains.


    Even though the path was winding and treacherous, impassible by ordinary men, they had no problems


    traversing it since they were all cultivators.


    Along the journey, they encountered a few demon beasts who weren’t particrly strong. Before


    anyone reacted, Rostom made quick work of them in an attempt to demonstrate his prowess.


    As for Jared, he positioned himself at the back of the party, scanning his surroundings with his spiritual


    sense.


    A few hourster, the group arrived deep in the mountains. From the looks of it, Hamish seemed


    familiar with the area, seemingly capable of finding hidden paths just when everyone thought they had


    reached a dead end.


    “There wasn’t a path here in the beginning. It was formed from my guiding of numerous groups along


    this way. Even though the path is narrow and winding, we’ll be able to avoid the majority of the demon


    beasts or any ambushes,” Hamish exined to the party.


    No onemented on his words. Since they had chosen to follow Hamish, they had no choice but to


    trust him.


    After walking for a while, they arrived at a slope. The ce looked tidy as if it had been renovated by


    someone.


    “All right, we’ll camp here for the night. I’ve remodeled this ce and continue to do so every time I


    stop here. Mount Crimson is huge after all, and we can’t cross it in one go.” Once he had spoken,


    Hamish found a ce to sit down. Everyone else proceeded to do the same and get some rest; all


    except Jared.


    Wanting to explore the surroundings, he walked into the forest nearby.


    “What are you doing?” Hamish asked Jared at once.

    “I want to take a look around,” thetter replied.


    “Don’t stray. There’s more to this ce than meets the eye. It might not look dangerous, but that’s


    because I’ve been leading the way. If you wander off on your own, you’ll be attacked by demon beasts.


    On top of that, poison veils might appear anytime here. Once they do there’s no escape. You’ll lose


    your sanity and go berserk. Countless cultivators, poisoned by this malevolent force, would recklessly


    assault their surroundings until they perished from exhaustion. You had better just stay put,” Hamish


    warned Jared.


    “Mr. Chevalier, your concerns are unwarranted. Have you forgotten that he is an alchemist? The poison


    veil is no threat to him at all. Besides, I have got a few detoxifying pills here which we can use to


    neutralize its effects.” As Tamazi spoke, he produced some pills and distributed them to everyone


    except Jared.


    “That’s all the detoxifying pills I have, but since you’re such a skilled alchemist, I’m sure you don’t need


    my pills, do you?” Tamazi remarked with a touch of sarcasm as he directed a gaze at Jared
