CHAPTER 925 LOOKING FOR THE GOLDEN CROWS

"Thank you, Darren."

Laura took the robe and hurried to put it on.

Darren's action made her feel warm... and a little disappointed.

'He may really not be interested in me at all...' Laura thought to herself.

"Do you want to know why I am so fast?" Darren smiled.

"Of course I want to know. If you were any slower, we would have died!" Chaz said.

"Yes, Darren. If it were not for you, I would have been… Um..." Laura trailed off, her eyes glimmering

with tears. She waited to see Darren's expression change but got nothing.

"It was my fault anyways. I took the golden crow's fragment," Darren said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"You were able to take it?" Laura was surprised. She turned to Darren and said, "It's not your fault.

Those bastards would have done it regardless of whether you took it or not. And they want me. You

know what they will do to me."

"Ahem." Darren coughed awkwardly. "It's a good thing no harm has come to you. As for my speed,

actually a master had told me to fuse the golden crow's fragment. Doing so made me much quicker

and helped me get you away."

"Is the golden crow's fragment so powerful? Your speed rivals that of a half-step emperor!" Chaz

exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, I won't always be able to reach that level of speed. I have to use a secret skill that the master

taught me," Darren said.

"Darren, who is the warrior you are talking about? Maybe we can meet him." Laura was very curious

with the master's identity.

"That would be really inconvenient."

"Humph. You're so mean. Forget it! Unless... Oh, I get it. You are afraid that the warrior is too

handsome. You're afraid that l might fall in love with him. Isn't that right?" Laura smiled.

Darren shook his head. "Not even close. You know, Laura, you're good at flirting."

"What a pity, then! I can't flirt with you."

"Ahem." Darren changed the subject. "Now that the other disciples have been caught, we have to find

a way to save them."

"I wonder how they are doing now," Chaz said.

Laura took a step back. "Those bastards in the other four cities dared to bully us. Someone should

teach them a lesson! Anthony's on the way. I'll ask for his assistance."

"Didn't you say that two other strong warriors were coming over? Who is the other one?

They have five-tribulation junior holy warriors on their side. Fighting them would be difficult," Darren

said.

"Oh, Darren. Don't worry about it. If Anthony comes, he'll beat them all. He's one of the best warriors.

As for the other one, well...not worth mentioning," Laura said, winking playfully.

Darren smiled. "Ah, the other warrior must be a woman! She must be quite beautiful."

"How did you know that?" Laura asked, surprised.

"Just a guess. Otherwise, you wouldn't be too jealous to mention her name."

"Humph! I'm not jealous of her. She may be beautiful, but there is no way she has bigger breasts than I

do!" She gestured to her own breasts.

Darren turned pink and rolled his eyes.

After resting for a while to recover from their injuries, they were ready to leave.

They journeyed for a few thousand kilometers until they found themselves at the foot of the holy

emperor's tomb.

"Darren, do you remember what I said?" At this moment, the dragon ancestor's voice rang out in

Darren's mind.

"What did you say?" Darren asked confusedly.

"Bah! Did you already forget?" The dragon ancestor was furious.

While they were healing in the cave, he had told Darren what to watch out for. He couldn't believe that

the boy had such a weak memory!

"Of course not! I just don't know which specific part you're referring to!" Darren retorted.

"You're getting on my nerves, boy. Alright! I will repeat myself.

First, you promised me you would only use your sword skills. Now is the perfect opportunity to practice

it.

Second, you don't mess with anyone stronger than you. Retreat if you can. Because the power of the

golden crow's fragment that I can activate for you is limited. Don't use it as much. Save it for when you

need it the most. What's more, if you meet anyone who is at the half-step emperor level, you will die no

matter how fast you are moving.

Third, you have to go west now. If I remember correctly, there will be golden crows there. I will help you

slay them when you get there,"

the dragon ancestor said.

"Okay, I got it," Darren replied. "Sir, I'm afraid that I can't use only my sword skills when I fight. I won't

be able to defeat my enemy! And how many golden crows do we need to enter the holy emperor's

tomb?"

"Don't worry. There is an Illusion Array around the tomb. It will be difficult for others to find you. I don't

know how many golden crows' fragments you need to take. Just take as many as you can. Stop

wasting time. I am going to take a nap for now. I will wake again when I need to."

"Got it."

According to what the dragon ancestor said, Darren made a detour to the west with the rest.

"Darren, I've heard that the west side of the emperor's tomb is very dangerous. Why are you going to

the west? The entrance to the tomb is in the east." Laura tried to persuade Darren but he wouldn't

listen to her.

"We need the golden crows."

"Well, all right. But if we are in danger, you will need to protect me!" Laura said, pretending to be weak. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Darren let out a small smile. "Laura, you are stronger than me. You don't need my protection."

"That's not true. You have already saved me several times. I need a man like you."

"Are you done now? Please. Stop talking." Chaz couldn't take Laura's flirting. He shot her a withering

look.

Laura glared at him but said nothing.

The area in front of them was shrouded with a dark purple mist. The air smelled of rot and it was very

cold.

"Caw, caw, caw! Caw, caw, caw!"

Suddenly, shrill cries rang out around them.

"Oh my God! Are they all golden crows?" Darren was stunned. There had to be at least a hundred of

them in the mist.
