A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5881

"The lineup is settled. We move out in half an hour. Jared, you take Lyndon, Ethan, and that beast of yours to lead the way. Keep a thousand feet ahead. The moment you sense anything off, raise the alarm. Understood?" Ferdinand asked.

"Understood." Jared's reply was crisp.

Thirty minutes later, the expedition started moving toward the gorge.

Jared, Lyndon, Ethan, and Lucky took the lead toward a small path to the depths of the gorge.

Humans paved the way. It was narrow and steep enough to fit only two people shoulder to shoulder.

The farther they descended, the hotter the surroundings became.

The odor of sulfur was very pungent, while the scorching heat burned the skin.

Any ordinary human would have shriveled here in heartbeats.

For cultivators, they could withstand the heat by channeling celestial energy to shield their body.

Jared walked at the front. The chaotic celestial energy channeled inside him, protecting him from the high heat and poisonous gas. Moreover, it absorbed the fire-type spiritual energy from around.

He thought that the environment in the Flame Gorge could boost the speed to cultivate the fire technique.

"Heads up!" Lyndon's warning cracked through the heat. A longbow filled his hands, and a green arrow kissed the string.

Around the next bend, a dozen scarlet lizards clung to the rock face. Each stretched nearly three feet, scales the same rusty red as the cliff, making them all but invisible until they moved.

"Scarlet fire lizards! They live in groups and can spit poisonous fire. I'll take care of them," Lyndon said.

He drew. The green arrow hissed away, split mid-flight into three, then nine, each arrow a streak of emerald light homing for a separate target.

Wet pops echoed down the gorge as arrows punched through scale and bone. Nine scarlet fire lizards dropped to deaths.

The rest of the lizards screeched, hacking out ropes of dark-crimson fire.

Ethan roared back, twin hammers spinning. Earth-yellow light ballooned into a shield that swallowed the flames.

Lucky galloped forward and stomped the lizards into splotches.

In a few minutes, the fight was over.

Jared had never lifted a finger. He simply observed the lizards' and his companions' actions.

Lyndon's archery was quick and precise. Each shot could kill a target.

Ethan had a strong defense, and his strength was immense, suitable for performing melee attacks.

Lucky's speed and attack were incredible, on par with a cultivator at Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Six.

"All clear! Let's move on," Jared said.

The three pushed deeper, descending step by step into the gorge's blazing throat.

The further they moved, the more vicious beasts they encountered.
