A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4037

Regardless of Maurice’s howling complaints, Jared was constantly searching for an exit within the cave. Luckily, with Vermillion Demon Lord by his side, he didn’t feel alone.

The cave was immense, shrouded in utter darkness. Even Jared could only make out as far as a hundred meters!

Moreover, he was unable to project his spiritual sense. Every time he tried, an inexplicable force would block him.

Inside the cave, there was a significant pressure, and waves of heat would occasionally roll in.

“Why am I getting the feeling that this isn’t a cave, but rather the inside of some large demon beast’s belly?” Jared observed his surroundings before speaking.

Back then, the intermittent waves of heat were like the breaths of some colossal demon beast.

“Stop talking nonsense. What kind of beast could possibly have such a huge belly? In a place like the Ethereal Realm, there’s no way such a massive creature could exist. Even though countless possibilities exist in this vast universe, where anything can happen and anything can appear, there are still certain rules that must be followed. The laws of nature have their own set limits. In this small Ethereal Realm, if such a massive demon beast were to appear, wouldn’t it be a catastrophe?” Vermilion Demon Lord asked.

Jared was taken aback, then looked at Vermilion Demon Lord in surprise, “How do you know this is the Ethereal Realm? Couldn’t it be another world? Could we be in some other unknown world?”

Upon seeing the situation, Vermilion Demon Lord was immediately left with an awkward expression. He then chuckled and said, “I intended to scare you, lad, but I didn’t expect to let the cat out of the bag. This place is the Ethereal Realm. It’s just that you, lad, haven’t been observing properly. Even though you have a decent amount of talent, sometimes you can be as dense as a pig! Haven’t you noticed the flame filaments on the stone walls around that cave? Although these flame filaments were incredibly faint, and you couldn’t detect any aura from them, try merging them together and see what happens.”

Jared carefully surveyed the surrounding stone walls. Indeed, he found numerous extremely subtle flame filaments.

These wisps of flame had clearly seeped into the cave from outside, bit by bit. They were so subtle that Jared had not noticed them at all.

Jared tried, gradually drawing the thin strands of flame filaments from the stone wall toward himself.

It took Jared quite some time to gather flames that resembled candlelight. However, even this small flame was enough for Jared to discern the aura of the fire.

When Jared encountered the scent of the flames, he instantly widened his eyes, a look of disbelief etched in his gaze.

Vermilion Demon Lord chuckled and gave a nod.

“D*mn, you knew all along and you didn’t even bother to tell me?”

Jared glared at Vermilion Demon Lord, seething with anger.

“Why should I tell you anything if you won’t even let me have a bit of fun!”

Infuriated, Vermilion Demon Lord turned his head away. The might Vermilion Demon Lord, at this moment, oddly resembled a grumpy old man.

Upon witnessing the situation, Jared was momentarily speechless. Were all these old- timers from the Ethereal Realm always so full of character?

Maurice was practically half-dead as he listened to the conversation between Jared and Vermilion Demon Lord. He was utterly bewildered.
