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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrapped, 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.
The furrow on Jared’s brows deepened. The appearance of Demonic Cultivator spirits would be life-
threatening to them even if they were just in spirit form.
“Do you have a way to stop them from breaking the seal?” Jared asked Faiyar. “I don’t. This is way
beyond my capabilities,” Faiyar answered with a shake of his head.
“Is there really no other choice but to wait helplessly for our deaths?” Jared let out a sigh.
“Actually, Mr. Chance, it’s not a bad thing if the Demonic Cultivator spirits break through the seal. You
can use them to smash through the shield blocking the exit. Wouldn’t that allow you to escape?” Faiyar
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsuggested.
“But why would they listen to me? I should count my blessings if they choose not to attack me. Getting
them to obey me is ridiculous.”
Jared had no way of commanding the Demonic Cultivator spirits. Even though they had lost their
physical bodies and their power had been reduced, they still retained their independent will.
“Mr. Chance, have you forgotten about Demon Flogger? The ancestor of the Archaic Body cultivators
used it to enslave Demonic Cultivators into building the treasure, so what’s so difficult about you
controlling them with it?”
Faiyar was aware of Jared’s lack of understanding of Demon Flogger, which caused him to forget about
it most of the time.
The idea caused Jared’s eyes to light up. “That’s right. I can use Demon Flogger to get the Demonic
Cultivator spirits to listen to me.”
He was filled with joy when he realized what a good plan it was. Unfortunately, when he shared the
idea with the others, everyone objected to it because he didn’t tell them about Demon Flogger.
