Chapter 2476
Jackie raised an eyebrow as he suddenly asked Rudy, “Can you tell what realm my strength is at?”
Rudy was taken aback for a moment before he looked up.
He used his senses to assess Jackie’s strength for a good while before, eventually, his lips twitched
somewhat awkwardly.
“I can’t! So what, though?” scoffed Rudy haughtily.
“No matter how strong you are, you’re probably at the middle-stage of the innate level at most!”
Jackie smiled wryly, not saying anything.

Grayson frowned and asked, “Did you learn some skill that lets you hide your strength? Why can’t I tell
what realm you are either?”
Jackie shook his head; he did not learn anything of such sorts.
The internal damage he had suffered back then was what caused his strength to seem like it was
concealed
Jackie decided to make use of his situation the moment he noticed this. He deliberately did not heal
some of the injuries, wanting to prevent others from studying him.

Rudy and Grayson, on the other hand, were not that strong.
They were two whole levels below him.
On top of the fact that he had deliberately hid his strength, there was no way for these two to know how
strong he was. That was precisely the effect Jackie had wanted.
Rudy choked as he threw away the white fur on his hand. “Alright, you two tell me: what are we
supposed to do? How do we get out of here?
“We can’t even control the spiritual vessel, let alone repair it. If we want to get out, we’ll have to walk out
on foot. Yet, we don’t even know where this ce is…”
At that moment, the tears on Rudy’s face started to fall again. The fear of the unknown future made him
lose hisposure.
Two out of the three of them had plunged into hopelessness.
The tears gathered in their eyes for a long time before they finally started falling. What started out as soft
sniffs turned into full-blown sobs.
Rudy felt like he was in a state ofplete forlornness.

Jackie watched on as the two of them crie pathetically, his lips twitching in exasperation in the process.
Those who did not know what was happening would think they had lost their parents.
These two, prior to this whole mess, pompously paraded themselves before him, and their arrogance
even shot through the roof.
They had so much pride in themselves that it did not seem like it could be shaken! Jackie understood
that they had merely been putting on a show. The moment they faltered, their hearts shattered.
“I really don’t want to die,” whimpered Rudy. “I’ve just started on my path, and I still have such bright
days in front of me! Life truly is cruel to me if I die here!”
Grayson was deeply affected by Rudy’s words.
Grayson’s talents were even better than Rudy’s. Grayson had been able to receive all the benefits he
wanted to in the Rosefinch Pavilion, yet he himself had fallen into such a despairing pit.
He was about to die in a deserted forest. Not even his body would be left behind.
Grayson sobbed as he said, “What do we do next?! I don’t want to die here! If we keep waiting here, we’ll
probably end up having lunch for those beasts soon!”
The moment he thought that he might be ripped apart and swallowed by the beasts that lurked in the
area, Grayson’s eyes darkened with despair.
He almost fell to the ground at that moment.
Jackie looked on as Grayson and Rudy wailed andmented about their fates. He sighed helplessly
before he turned to look deeper into the forest.
It was pointless to weep; what mattered most at that moment was finding a way to survive.
Chapter 2477 s, massive trees lined his sight wherever Jackie looked, and he could not even make
out the cardinal directions, let alone walk out of the forest. He exhaled a long sigh.
Just as he was nning the next course of action, Jackie suddenly heard a rustle. With a frown on his
face, he snapped at Grayson and Rudy, “Shut up right now! Something’sing!”
Both Grayson and Rudy shuddered at Jackie’s warning,and their sobs ceased instantaneously.
The way the two of them were acting earlier, they hadpletely ignored the fact that their wails could
attract any nearby beasts,
They both did not even dare release the breath they held after Jackie’s warning.
Jackie raised an eyebrow as his ears perked to detect the sounds around them. He tried to observe his
surroundings as he sent out his senses to feel everything around him.
They were in a foreign ce at that moment, where danger could happen at any moment. If they were
not careful, the three of them truly could end up being beastfood.
After all, everything alive around them were high-level fiends, and even Jackie was just in the innate
stage. If a divine solidifying realm fiend appeared, the three of them would die in a single blow.
The rustles from earlier were heard again. Jackie took a deep breath as his sharp eyes shifted to the
source of the noise. What he saw was a golden three-headed snake ?lithering toward them.
That three-headed snake was, thankfully, an ordinary beast that posed no danger at all.
When the trio realized that it was the snake all along, Grayson and Rudy finally loosened up and
regained their breathing. Nheless, the two of them no longer dared to sob so loudly.
Rudy wiped away his tears with his sleeve. “This truly is a wretched ce! I can’t even cry loudly… I
don’t even know when I’ll die!”
Grayson sighed, not saying anything. Jackie, meanwhile, merely stood there quietly. His eyes continued
to observe their surroundings.
After a moment, Jackie suddenly remarked, his tone low and calm, “We still don’t know if we can leave
this ce or not, but the first thing we need to do is make sure we’re safe for now.
“We’ll die instantly if any high-level beasts appear, especially without good preparations.”
Jackie was nowhere near as erratic as Rudy and Grayson.
Rudy raised his eyebrows and looked at Jackie strangely. Rudy noticed that Jackie had be
exceptionally serious and cold ever since they got to that forsaken ce.
It was as if Jackie would not be scared at all no matter what they encountered, a stark contrast to himself
and Grayson.
Rudy lightly snorted. “Don’t tell me you’re not afraid at all. Aren’t you worried you’ll die here? What’s the
point of acting so level-headed for? Are you trying to make me and Grayson look like fools?”
Jackie was reaching his limit with him, wanting so badly to smack him squarely across the face at that
moment.
This brat, Rudy seemed to be sopetitive no matter when it was. No matter in what way, Rudy
seemed to want to be better than Jackie.
Jackie could not be bothered to answer that question. Instead, Jackie earnestly said, “The question we
need to think about now is what we’ll do if any danger happenster.”In truth, you two are just slowing
me down, and I’m just saying all of this to give you a chance to live. If the two of you want to continue
moping around and venting instead of hurrying up and finding a way out, then that’s your problem.”
Jackie’s words were rather harsh to the ear, but they managed to snap both Rudy and Grayson out of
their mini-episode.

Grayson frowned.
Even though Jackie’s words were rather insensitive, they were no doubt useful words to heed at a
moment where lives were at stake.
