Chapter 488 Into His Embrace
Smiling, Jared could tell what Tessa was thinking, and he changed his views on her.
Their surrounding became much dimmer after they entered the forest. To prevent any danger to the group, the Snyders’ elites and George’s apprentices flanked the party.
Meanwhile, Isaiah, who was ahead of the group, smiled deviously at the elderly man beside him. “Shall we start now, Mr. Mikkelson?”
In response, Bruce nodded before clutching a tree nearby by its trunk and forcefully tearing off a piece of bark from it.
The elderly man then knelt on the ground and grabbed a handful of leaves. After Bruce chanted something, they spontaneously burst into flames.
For some reason, the heat did not seem to bother Bruce at all as he added the tree bark to the fire.
Lastly, Bruce took out some powder from his pocket and threw it into the fire as well.
Poof!
Immediately, the flame went out, and thick white smoke rose from the ashes.
After randomly picking up a branch, Bruce bit his finger and dripped his blood on the branch. Then, he started drawing something on the ground.
Before long, the drawing of a tiger appeared, and it seemed to be alive somehow.
“Roar!” After making a fearsome noise, the tiger suddenly disappeared.
Bruce continued to draw more of the ferocious creature, and like the one before them, the drawings all miraculously disappeared.
Isaiah, along with the others, dropped his jaw when he witnessed the seemingly impossible occurrence.
“Phew!” The elderly man threw the branch away and let out a sigh of relief after drawing a dozen tigers. “It’s done. None of them will be able to leave the forest now.”
When Bruce got back on his feet, his forehead was already drenched in sweat.
“Excellent job, Mr. Mikkelson!” exclaimed Isaiah, who respected Bruce even more after witnessing how powerful the elderly man was.
After Isaiah and the others left, the forest was suddenly shrouded in thick fog.
At first, the group thought it was only normal, given the humidity of the forest.
However, the fog quickly went from being waist-high to completely engulfing everyone. On top of that, it got so thick that the group had trouble seeing each other.
At that moment, everyone started to panic, and Jayden was less than happy about it.
“Damn it! Where the heck did this fog come from?” cursed Jayden with a scowl.
“Mr. Snyder, I think we should tether ourselves to each other with a rope. Otherwise, we might get lost.” Like Jayden, George did not appreciate the supposed natural occurrence either.
“Good idea.” After nodding at George, Jayden hurriedly ordered everyone to do as the man suggested.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the group heard a feral roar, and it instantly put them on edge.
“What’s that? Since when are there beasts in the forest?” voiced the hunters leading the way.
They had been to the forest more times than they could count. However, they had never come across any beasts capable of letting out a roar like that. That was clearly the roar of a tiger!
“Jared? Jared!”
It was bad enough that she could not see the people around her; the roar made Tessa even more panicky, so instinctively, she started calling out for Jared.
Suddenly, Tessa could feel somebody grabbing her shoulder, so she screamed like a little girl.
“It’s okay. It’s just me,” Jared comforted Tessa, who immediately threw herself at the man in order to feel safe again.
When Dominic saw what happened, his eyes widened so much that his eyeballs almost dropped out.
