CHAPTER 926 ANTHONY ARRIVED

Hearing the crows' cries made Darren both happy and worried.

The greater the number of the golden crows, the more fragments he would get. But the strength of a

golden crow was comparable to that of the half-step emperor. If there were more than a hundred of the

golden crows, how horrible it would be!

"Darren, why do we even need the golden crows? Can you speed up further if you get more?" Laura

asked curiously.

"No, it's not about that. I heard that the golden crows' fragments can help us enter the holy emperor's

tomb to obtain the inheritance," Darren stated.

"What? Really?"

Chaz exclaimed in surprise. Even Laura was taken aback. The tomb had been discovered for many

years. There were numerous strong warriors who wanted to enter the tomb, but none of them

succeeded.

But now Darren told her that they could enter the holy emperor's tomb with the golden crows'

fragments. It was really something worth noting. The dead holy emperor was indeed very powerful as

he had practiced three conflicting martial arts skills. Even if they couldn't get the inheritance, absorbing

some of the holy emperor's power in the tomb would be immensely beneficial for them!

"Who told you that?" Laura asked, feeling a bit skeptical.

"Surely that master," Darren answered.

"The master is so knowledgeable! No wonder the elders sent other warriors here, and so did all the

other cities. It means that the holy emperor's tomb is about to open." Laura was excited. It would be the

honor of lifetime if she had the chance to enter the holy emperor's tomb!

"All right. We should try to get as many pieces as possible first," Darren said.

"That kind of beast seems to be very powerful. There's no denying that it would be difficult for us to

defeat one of them. How can we get more fragments in such a short amount of time?" Chaz could feel

the power of the golden crows. The way the golden crows' cries echoed all around them made his

heart sink.

Darren asked the dragon ancestor for help.

"Sir, there seems to be many golden crows here, but I have my doubts that we will be able to defeat

them all."

"Silly boy... I have told you that I will help you. I have my own way." The dragon ancestor laughed

confidently.

"What's it?"

"The golden crows have masculine power. We should use feminine power to deal with them. I have

something called Serial Feminine Rings here. Just set it up as I say. Once a golden crow falls into it, its

strength will be weakened by ninety percent. By then, you will be able to kill it. Do you understand?"

"Wow! That's really amazing! Please give it to me!"

"Cut the crap! I'll tell you how to use it."

The dragon ancestor explained the use of the Serial Feminine Rings unhurriedly.

A few moments later, more than ten rings inscribed with runes appeared in Darren's hands. Grabbing

his sword, he pressed it upon his wrist and cut it open. Dragon blood gushed out and trickled down

onto the rings.

"Darren! What's wrong with you? Why are you hurting yourself?" Laura couldn't help crying out.

Darren rolled his eyes at her. "It's for catching the golden crows."

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry you have to do this." Laura came over and put her hand on Darren's shoulder,

leaning against him affectionately.

Darren leaned aside to avoid her. "Laura, we have to move now. Let's split up and set these rings up in

the gloomiest area," he said.

"What? I don't know which area is gloomy," Laura said with a pout.

"I'll do it," Chaz said, taking half of the rings and flying up quickly afterwards.

"Great! That ugly man has finally gone, huh!" Laura said as she grinned from ear to ear. Chaz was

starting to get on Laura's nerves.

"Darren, let's go together. I don't want to be left all alone," she said in a soft voice. Every time she had

the chance, she would intentionally bump into Darren's shoulder. It was quite obvious that she was very

much interested in him.

Darren sighed helplessly, and could do nothing but let her be.

"My dragon blood has strong masculine energy. The special aura I gave off on the Serial Feminine

Rings should be able to attract the golden crows. The dragon ancestor was great to know such a good

trick.

If I put the rings in an extremely gloomy place, my dragon blood's masculine energy will be more

obvious, and the golden crows will definitely be drawn to it. Ha-ha!" Darren murmured.

He and Laura flew for a long time before finally finding a place to set up the trap. All they needed to do

was to wait for the golden crows to get caught in it.

While waiting, Darren and Laura sat on a purple lawn, feeling a little bored.

"Laura, do you have a crush on someone?"

Darren's abrupt question made Laura's heart beat fast.

'Is Darren going to tell me that he likes me? So after all this time, it turns out that he really does have a

crush on me! Maybe he's only telling me now because Chaz isn't around. Haha!' Laura thought happily.

Pursing her lips, she carefully thought of what she should say to Darren.

"Yes, I do. Does that make you sad?" she finally said in a teasing voice.

"Of course not. I like someone else. No. Actually, I love her." Darren looked into the distance, a bitter

feeling rising in his heart.

"You are an ass! How could you say you love me in such a short time? You are so shameless!" Laura

giggled as her face flushed red.

Darren furrowed his brows, feeling confused. Before he had a chance to explain what he meant, Laura

interrupted, "You know what? I thought you were like other men at first, who only liked me because of

my beauty, so I kind of hated you. But then..."

"Stop, Laura, listen to me," Darren interrupted Laura.

"What do you want to say? Come on... Kiss me before that annoying Chaz comes back." Cradling his

cheek in her hand, Laura closed her eyes and leaned in closer to Darren.

"Laura, you misunderstood me. I was talking about someone else. My wife... Elsa." Darren coughed

awkwardly and gently pushed her away.

Standing rooted to the spot, Laura felt her heart was stung. Her face grew redder and hotter than

before.

It was truly an embarrassing moment for Laura. She had fully opened up to Darren just to be painfully

mistaken. Her eyes were starting to get hot with tears, but she swallowed her pain and tried to keep the

atmosphere light.

"Ha-ha, Darren, don't be silly! I was just kidding! I know so many other men better than you! Besides,

you're too young for my taste.

Did you really believe it? Look at your silly face!"

Laura said hurriedly to cover up her embarrassment.

"I knew it!" Darren pretended to be enlightened. "I was still fooled by you. Alas, how stupid I was."

"Laura, you didn't seem to be joking," a voice called out.

As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.

Hearing the voice, Laura turned her head suddenly and was stunned when she saw the man.

"Anthony!"

"Ha-ha, long time no see. How are you doing, Laura?"

"Good. I'm going great. When did you come? You scared me just now." In front of the handsome young

man, Laura was like a younger sister.

"Hailey and I have been here for a long time. We heard what you just said." Anthony was grinning and

staring at Laura, making her blush.

"Ha-ha, I didn't know you would be shy." Anthony smiled and said to Darren, "This must be Darren,

right? You're really a young and handsome man. No wonder you easily won over Laura's heart." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Hello, Anthony." Darren stood up and nodded politely.

"Hailey, why don't you come and meet Darren as well?" Anthony turned around, and beckoned for his

companion to come forward. A beautiful figure emerged from the purple mist. Her face was so doleful

that it would be nearly impossible to forget.
