The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance)
Chapter 4424 Showing Off

At that moment, Catalina found herself in a bit of a predicament because the current turn of things in the Celestial Battlefield had deviated from that which she had previously imagined.

It included the sudden appearance of the lightning beast and the Demonic Cultivator who left a piece of soul remnant behind.

She had no idea about the sum of uncertainties that awaited ahead.

If they continued on, danger was certain to be present.

But if they were to stop and turn back, she was uncertain how to break the news since everyone at the back was following her lead.

You're truly going to be the death of me, Master. Didn't you say you had everything set up for me ages ago?

Deep down, Catalina cursed her master.

However, she couldn't afford to show too much panic right then. She could only feign calmness and say, "Fellow cultivators, proceeding ahead will surely be fraught with danger. If you all are unwilling to take risks any further, we can always turn back the way we came." She wanted the crowd to make the call for her. If they were to decide against taking any further risks, she could go along with the flow and head back with them.

Everyone went silent.

They originally thought that it was ancient ruins, but it unexpectedly turned out to be the Celestial Battlefield.

As such, the extent of danger that lay ahead was unknown to them all.

On top of that, there was a soul remnant of a Demonic Cultivator ahead. It was clear that the Demonic Cultivator was powerful, so it was uncertain if they were his match even if it were a mere soul remnant.

But if they were to leave, there might be a multitude of magical items awaiting them ahead.

After all, it was Bone Break Cliff ahead. It was littered with skeletal remains that were essentially immortals and demons who had perished during the Celestial Battle.

All of them were sure to have a few divine weapons and magical items in their possession.

Since they were all dead, the divine weapons and magical items had to be somewhere on the Celestial Battlefield.

At that moment, everyone was in a quandary, torn between forging ahead and turning back.

"Cloud, Ms. Judith, let's go."

Jared saw right through Catalina. Therefore, he called Cloud and Judith along, after which the few of them proceeded ahead on their own.

"On the Celestial Battlefield such as this, it must be teeming with countless divine weapons and magical items ahead. I wonder if the item pouch I brought is enough. As the saying goes, the bold die of gluttony, while the meek starve. I'd rather risk dying from overindulgence than starve to death," Jared declared loudly as he walked.

"Please take me with you, sir. At the very least, I have some capabilities, and they aren't suppressed," the lightning beast pleaded, immediately chasing after the man upon seeing him continue forward.

It had been there for many years yet never dared to venture forward, fearful of the potential dangers that lay ahead.

With Jared's company then, it felt much safer. After all, the man had a fire unicorn and Celestial Devourer.

Despite their tiny size, the two creatures were surprisingly powerful.

Seeing that the lightning beast intended to continue forward with Jared, the hesitant crowd immediately followed suit.

"Wait, fellow cultivators! We're coming with you."

"Yes, we're coming too. Even if it means death, we can't give this opportunity up."

"We're going all out. Anyway, we're already here."

The cultivators hurriedly chased after Jared, eager to join him.

At that moment, only Catalina was left standing there, staring blankly at the retreating figures of them all.

Right then, she wanted nothing more than to lash out at Jared.

Why is he showing off at a time like this? Had it not been for him, everyone might have simply retraced their steps.

In reality, Jared was also secretly observing Catalina at that moment.

His greatest desire was to have her accompany him as she had those almighty runes in hand.

Moreover, she was familiar with the place and could be of help to a certain extent.

As for the cultivators, their capabilities had already been suppressed, rendering them ordinary people, so having them along was utterly useless.

At the sight of Catalina motionless for a long time, Jared grew somewhat anxious inwardly.

"Wait up for me. Since everyone is willing to continue forward, I'll join you all!"

In the end, Catalina gritted her teeth and chased after Jared and the others.

When Jared saw that, the corners of his mouth turned up subtly, and he began chuckling.
