CHAPTER 2906 KIND GESTURE
“Enough of your complaints! If you keep whining, I'll take matters into my own hands. No one forced you into entering this cave. If you want the treasure, you must be ready to gamble your life. Why should he be responsible for saving you? Are you his child?” Sunny's aura surged as he fixed a stern gaze on the disgruntled individuals.
Sunny, who was at Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm and among the strongest cultivators present, swiftly silenced the others with his warning.
Having been rescued by Jared, he had to speak up for him.
Jared ignored those who yelled at him. The reason why he didn't reveal the arcane array to everyone was so that some of them would turn into ice.
If the treasure was indeed concealed within the cave, the presence of more cultivators would make it increasingly challenging for him to secure the Ice Soul Pill.
He had little concern for their lives, as they held no significance to him.
Jared had chosen to save Sunny as the latter had helped him outside of Jipsdale.
Additionally, Sunny was considerably stronger than any of the others. If they happened to discover the treasure, Jared and his group would be at a distinct disadvantage against Sunny, Konce, and Lofton.
He wanted to win over one of them, and among the three cultivators, Sunny was the only one who had shown signs of wanting to talk to him.
They continued their journey. This time, everyone followed behind Jared obediently.
It took them over an hour to finally make it through the area full of traps.
“Good! We've finally made it out of here. Someone set up an arcane array here. If we had taken a wrong step, we wouldn't have made it out here alive.”
Jared heaved a sigh of relief.
The frost energy was intense, but Jared was sweating. His sweat vaporized into mists.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of that area.
However, along the way, some cultivators still became ice sculptures.
Jared settled into a cross-legged position, meticulously regulating his energy. While he possessed the demonic fire, it wasn't boundless, so he needed to absorb and refine it, allowing it to gradually expand. The demonic fire within him remained insufficient.
After saving Jerison and Sunny, Jared could feel that his demonic fire had gotten weaker.
Right then, Sunny came over to thank Jared. “Thank you for your help, Jared.”
“You're welcome, Sir,” Jared replied with a smile.
“You saved my life. I have to show my gratitude.”
As Sunny spoke, he pulled out a mystical herb from his bag. It was red in color and felt warm to the touch.
“I happen to have a Warming Herb with me. While it may not aid in cultivation, it can help ward off the frost energy. I brought it along because I anticipated coming to the far north. Since your girlfriend appears to be struggling with the cold, I'll give this Warming Herb to her,” Sunny said as he handed the herb to Viola.
Instead of accepting the herb, Viola glanced at Jared.
“It's his kind gesture. Take it,” Jared said with a smile.
“Thank you, Sir!”
Viola accepted the Warming Herb and kept it close to her. Indeed, she felt warmer and more comfortable with its presence.
Sunny sat down beside Jared, and they began chatting.
They chatted for a while, occasionally breaking into laughter.
Through their conversation, Jared discovered that Sunny, Lofton, and Konce had formed a temporary team.
Despite knowing each other for a long while, they weren't close to each other.
That explained why they didn't bother saving Sunny when he was trapped by the ice.
