Chapter 990 The Hell of Dragon Fang

"Yes, Father. Rest assured that we will always keep that in mind," Geoffrey and Woods responded as they bowed to their father.

"But Father, I heard that you are not feeling well these days. How are you doing now?" asked Geoffrey. He was trying his best to pretend that he was actually concerned about their father.

"I already knew that you will all be here today. I wanted to take a walk, so I asked Alyssa to accompany me. Today, I will announce the task that you are going to complete. Everyone must keep in mind that the task will be very crucial. If a prince completes the said task, I will be inclined to choose him as my successor." As soon as the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire broke the news, the crowd fell into complete silence.

Several princes, including Geoffrey and Woods, looked at each other in utter surprise. They didn't expect that their father would decide his successor in this way.

"Alyssa, I'll leave the following things to you now! Please go ahead," said the emperor directly to Alyssa.

Alyssa nodded at her father's orders. Then, she took a step forward, stood in front of everyone and looked around the crowd coldly. Next, she looked at the princes seriously and started to explain the task, "I have to tell you first and foremost that this task is very difficult, and it is also very dangerous. It has a great impact on our empire. Therefore, this is absolutely a huge test for you!"

"Alyssa, stop beating about the bush. Just tell us what the task is, so we can start already!" Algy demanded. His tone was very eager with a hint of arrogance.

Glancing at the eldest prince with a cold look, Alyssa continued, "This task requires you to enter an incredibly odd place to look for a spiritual treasure. The task will be completed once the treasure is found."

"What? The task that decides who will be the successor to our father is just a treasure hunt? That's too simple for me," Algy said scornfully. He was extremely appalled that the task seemed too simple.

"Alyssa, please tell us where is this place that you are talking about," Woods asked. He thought about the task which seemed too simple, but realized that the key point was the place that they would be going. He knew that the task was not that simple because of the serious expression on Alyssa's face.

"The Hell of Dragon Fang!" As Alyssa uttered those words, her face became hard as steel.

All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone knew that the Hell of Dragon Fang was one of the most dangerous places in the Wild Spirit Land. Only the powerful wa

at, they didn't win any favor from strong backers at all. With their inferior abilities, it was almost guaranteed that the two princes wouldn't be able to find any spiritual treasure. If that were the case, then they surely wouldn't have any chances to inherit the throne.

But of course, luck was a big factor in this competition since the mission was to look for the treasure. Therefore, every prince would have a chance which was extremely fair!

"The task will begin exactly three days from now. You can set off to the Hell of Dragon Fang in the afternoon of that day. All of you must do your preparations before that. I am warning you, the Hell of Dragon Fang is far more dangerous than you think. You must be fully prepared and make all kinds of plans to deal with any dangers you may encounter there. In addition, I advise you all not to bring weak spirit manipulators with you. Otherwise, you would only be weakened and you don't want that to happen. Try your best to reduce the number of soldiers that you will bring. It may not be a good thing to have more people in the Hell of Dragon Fang!" Alyssa reminded the princes.

"Alyssa, you haven't even told us what kind of spiritual treasure it is that we need to find," Algy suddenly asked as he processed all the information in his head.

The remaining princes also looked at her. They were also thinking about the same thing.

"No one knows what kind of spiritual treasure it is. You need to judge it by yourselves." Alyssa simply answered the question.

The six princes were aghast. If they didn't even know what the spiritual treasure looked like, how could they even find it, especially in such a dangerous and odd place as the Hell of Dragon Fang?!
