CHAPTER 652 LOOK FOR THE ENTRANCE

All of these red-haired monsters had the aura akin to that of seven-star grand warriors. Even though

Darren sounded confident when he said he would deal with them by himself, the others didn't have any

faith in him.

"I'll hide you first otherwise you won't be able to withstand the fighting." Darren released a force to lift

them up and his speed sped up all of a sudden.

After flying for what felt like forever, Darren looked behind and found out that the red-haired monsters

were ten kilometers behind.

"Stay here and don't come out. I will go fight them," Darren said and was about to rush back.

"Hold on, Darren!" Hobson said, holding Darren's hand. "Don't fight now. That will take a lot of time. I

think our priority should be to reach the Holy Tomb as soon as possible. Otherwise, all the treasures

will be taken away by those old men."

"Hobson is right. It doesn't matter if those monsters are killed or not. At the moment, our focus should

be on the treasures. It was you who saved our lives this time. If we get the treasures, you are free to

take whatever you want. Then we will split the rest. What do you think?" the man with the map

suggested.

"I agree. If it weren't for Darren, we would have died before we could have a chance to get the

treasures. I am so grateful to Darren that I wouldn't mind even if he takes all the treasures."

"I have no objection to that either."

"The treasures are supposed to belong to Darren."

Everyone made a sincere statement. Just like they said, without Darren's help, none of them would

have survived and proceeded with the quest for treasures.

Besides, even now they couldn't get the treasure on their own. They might be attacked as they

continued their journey. So they would still need Darren's protection.

"That's something we will talk about later. We still haven't seen any treasures. Now we have to speed

up and find them. We can't allow those old bastards to get there before us," Darren reminded, knowing

they shouldn't be wasting any time.

"Okay, we have made a detour so now we should be flying in that direction." The young man with the

map pointed in a direction.

"Before we go, I have something for you. This can help you improve your strength,"

Darren said as everyone was getting ready to take action.

Darren wanted to give them some of Seven-holy Fruits to help them regain their strength. By doing so,

if they encountered something more dangerous to deal with, they would be able to help him. It wasn't

easy to fight alone so he wanted everyone to have enough strength.

"How can we accept your gifts? We can't take it," someone protested, refusing to take it.

"Take them." Darren took out thousands of Seven-holy Fruits from his Space Ring. The fruits piled up,

starting to float in the air.

"Ha-ha, so are you going to treat us with fruits? Okay, fine then. They smell delicious!" Seeing this, they

all began to smile.

"If you just eat them you can't make full use of them. You have to refine them to get the best effect.

Now split them and refine them, and you will have your strength back soon," Darren explained calmly.

They followed Darren's order and began to refine the Seven-holy Fruits.

At first, they didn't detect any change in themselves. But after a while, they began to shout, shocked

with their own energy.

"Ah, my strength seems to be recovering."

"Same here! I have reached the six-star Grand Realm. Oh my God!"

"The fruit which Darren has bestowed upon us is the best treasure. After refining it, the suppression

has been removed!"

They cheered and sped up the refining process. After the pile of Seven-holy Fruits were refined, every

one of them had regained their strength.

Roar! Roar!

After regaining their strength, they all roared to vent their earlier anger.

"Those old bastards want us to die! Now with our strength, we must kill them!" said a Crimson Sea Sect

member.

The elders had called them pawns, insinuating their lives were not important. Now that they had

enough energy to fight, they wanted those elders to pay for their mistakes.

"Thank you, Darren."

Even though they were excited and plotting revenge, they didn't forget how they had regained their

strength. They cupped their hands and half knelt in the air to express their gratitude.

"Don't thank me now. We need to pull ourselves together to save our lives!"

"Yes!" they shouted in unison. By now, they had already begun to consider him their leader.

Since their strength returned, the crowd's speed had increased a lot. They flew all the way, heading

forward according to the route in the map.

Soon a huge island loomed up in front of them. Purple plants covered the whole island.

"That's it."

"Let's go down together."

Darren and the others descended to the island.

"Look here! Plenty of damaged trees and footprints. Those old bastards must have been here before."

"We must kill them as soon as possible!" They all gnashed their teeth in anger.

"How is their current strength?" Darren asked.

"They have ten or twenty percent of the strength of the Fringe Holy Will."

"Pretty weak compared to you guys. With your present strength, killing them would be as easy as

snatching a candy from a baby. But I advise you not to kill anyone for the time being," Darren advised.

"What? Why, Darren? Those old bastards are an awful bunch! They tried to squash us like bugs. Are

you too soft-hearted to let them off lightly?" Hearing Darren's words, they were a little anxious. If Darren

indeed asked them to release them, they would definitely let them go, no matter how badly they wanted

to take revenge.

"Who said anything about letting them go?" Darren gave a faint smile and elaborated, "I am pretty sure

those elders must know much more about the treasures. We could take advantage of that and follow

them. So after we get there, we'd better pretend to be weak. They will surely send us to do their

bidding. But once the treasures are found, we will kill them."

"Ha-ha, you are such a smart man!"

"That's a good idea. Then let's do this your way."

"Okay. We will all be better off following Darren's command. Ha-ha."

After the discussion, they headed towards the Holy Tomb.

Purple mist filled the air and towering trees could be seen everywhere. They moved slowly among the

forest.

Along the way, they saw many strange creatures, but most of them didn't look very threatening. Hence

they didn't pay them much heed.

"What's that? It looks like a combination of many kinds of beasts."

"The living creatures here are quite different. They tend to have body similar to a snake but with a bull

head. Sometimes you can spot some birdlike creatures with tiger's limbs. But they all share one

similarity and that is they happen to be covered with red hair, like they are cobbled together by

someone."

"I see, but this place is called the Life Forbidden Zone. Isn't it weird it contains so many creatures here?

I thought it would be bereft of living beings."

"It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters now is finding the treasures."

They chatted as they walked. Soon a collapsed stone city appeared in front of them.

"This place really reminds me of the Raksa Sea. This stone city also has charred marks everywhere. It

feels like the entire city was ravaged by fire." Darren looked at the city and sensed some familiarity.

"Could it be possible that this land was from the same era as the Raksa Sea?"

The Raksa Sea was an ancient relic. It had separated from the main land since ages. Due to this, it had

managed to remain untouched until today.

"According to the map, this should be the Holy Tomb." The young man looked at the map in confusion.

They couldn't see any plants here on the ground but instead they came across some collapsed stone

walls. All around them was only the black barren ground, making it hard for them to find the entrance to

the Holy Tomb.

"We've been following the map properly and have reached the destination marked here. The location of

the Holy Tomb is very important so there is no way this map is incorrect. Let's go and find out if there is

anything unusual about this place," Darren said.

"All right, let's split up. Check everything but don't go too far."

Then they got immersed in the task of searching this place. However, half an hour passed but they

were still searching, not having found any clues.

Just when they were about to feel hopeless and defeated, Hobson said, "Hey, I think I found something

here!" By chance, he had kicked on something hard. After he shook off the ash on the surface, he

found a fist-sized bronze coffin.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
