Observing the metal rod in Jared’s hand, Bianca curiously asked, “Mr. Chance, what is this?”
“This is a detector. In places where there are polar stones, the magnetic field gets stronger, causing a reaction in this metal rod. Let’s split up now. This place is too vast. If we continue searching this way, who knows how long it will take. You guys take the detector and go your own way, and I’ll go mine. But don’t venture too far away. A hundred miles is acceptable. That way, if you’re in danger, I can come to your aid at any moment.”
Jared handed Bianca a detection rod and a few communication devices.
He also taught her how to use them.
“Mr. Chance, you should also be careful. The Mueller family is searching for you everywhere,” Bianca said earnestly.
Jared gave a nod, then promptly left.
Bianca and the others also began their mission, scouring every corner for polar stones.
Not long after they parted ways, there was a slight tremor in the metal rod held by Jared.
A thrill of joy surged through his heart.
“I found it…”
He moved forward slowly, and the metal rod in his hand quivered more and more intensely, gradually changing its direction.
Jared began exploring again, guided by the metal rod.
He traveled more than ten miles when the metal rod ceased trembling as though some unseen force had instantly immobilized it.
Jared knew this must be the location of the polar stones.
However, judging by the frequency of the metal rod’s vibrations, it seemed that the magnetic field wasn’t that strong.
Jared looked around and found that apart from the small mounds of snow dotting the landscape, there seemed to be nothing else.
No one had ever seen a polar stone, and if it was small, it would have been buried under the thick snow by now.
Just when Jared had no idea what to do, those little mounds of snow moved. Following that, a succession of massive demon beasts revealed themselves.
“What the…”
Jared was taken aback. It turned out that these mounds of snow were actually formed by these demon beasts lying on the ground, their bodies blanketed by a thick layer of accumulated snow.
Jared found himself faced with a dozen or so demon beasts, each one snarling ferociously at him. From their mouths, they expelled gusts of frost energy.
These demon beasts did not launch an attack on Jared. Instead, they were merely roaring as if to intimidate him and prevent him from encroaching on their territory.
Upon closer inspection, Jared noticed that in the areas where these demon beasts lay, there were several stones, each about the size of a fist.
These stones, however, were all of a pristine white color, and one could discern the form of snowflakes embedded within them.
“Are they polar stones?”
Jared’s heart leaped with joy. If he hadn’t looked closely, it would have been challenging to discover. Underneath these dozen or so demon beasts, there were stones just like these.
Jared took a few steps forward, wanting to take a closer look.
However, when the dozen or so demon beasts saw Jared continuing forward, their roars became even more piercing.
“I only want the stones beneath you. I don’t intend to harm you. You should leave now,” Jared said to those demon beasts.
These demon beasts were merely at Seventh Level Tribulator. Even when faced with a dozen of such beasts, Jared was utterly fearless.
A demon beast roared and bared its teeth, breathing out a gust of frost energy toward Jared.
A surge of heat instantly flared up within Jared, effectively blocking the frost energy.
The demon beast began its assault, and Jared decided to make his move.
He drew out the Dragonslayer Sword, and demonic fire began to surge.
In this place, most of the demon beasts were of the frost variety. The reason they kept the polar stones beneath them was likely for their cultivation.
Jared had used a metal rod to locate this place, interrupting the demon beasts’ cultivation.
A hint of fear flickered in the eyes of the dozen or so demon beasts when they looked at the demonic fire on Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword.
However, they didn’t flee. Instead, they all held the polar stones in their mouths and promptly launched an attack on Jared.
