Alyssa glanced at the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire for his opinion.
"Let's go back," the emperor said. He took a look at all of the princes before turning away.
Then, together Alyssa and two elders, he left the beast arena, escorted by the guards in silver and gold armor.
Four of the princes also quickly left the beast arena with their own people, leaving only Geoffrey and Woods behind.
"I didn't expect the emperor to choose a successor so soon. I wanted to compete with you and give you some chances, but now it seems that I can't." Geoffrey smiled with feigned sincerity.
"Same here. See you three days later, brother." Woods smiled back gently in response. Then, squinting his eyebrows as if he had just remembered something, he said, "By the way, when you go back, don't forget to send the contract of ceding the three cities to my mansion. I'll treat it as a gift from you."
Upon hearing this, Geoffrey's face darkened. He snorted coldly and left the beast arena with Alexander and the others.
At this moment, Rocky, Lucas, and the others returned to the viewing platform.
Woods took a deep breath and turned to them. "Let's go to my mansion." There were only three days left before they went to hunt the spiritual treasure, which meant that they only had three days to prepare to go to the Hell of Dragon Fang. Therefore, they had to discuss the matter as soon as possible.
Rocky and the others followed Woods back to his mansion.
Once they had all settled down in the hall, they began to discuss the details of the trip, such as which equipment and assistants they were going to bring, as well as what measures they would use to deal with potential problems.
Rocky didn't say a word during the whole discussion. As someone who was used to acting alone, hunting the spiritual treasure with a team felt foreign to him. Moreover, the time limit to complete this task was a month. If they was lucky, they could finish the task in advance. But if they couldn't finish it in a month, he w
d been able to tell the importance of the spiritual treasure from Alyssa's words, but she had also mentioned that no one even knew what the spiritual treasure looked like. It was shrouded in mystery.
"You can ask your sister yourself. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I'll be back in three days." Rocky had a few important things to do before going to the Hell of Dragon Fang, so he turned around and left at once.
After leaving Woods' mansion, he headed to the Fire Wave Mountain, ready to refine the spiritual crystal for three days and three nights. The spiritual crystal had absorbed spiritual energy.
When he arrived at the Fire Wave Mountain, he saw that, save for some heat-resistant plants, the ground around the mountain was almost bare. The cliff rock was steep and very dangerous.
Rocky immediately summoned Ken and flew around the mountain. Once he landed at the entrance, he sent Ken back into the Magic Spiritual Space and summoned Robin instead.
Then, he gathered his spiritual power to protect himself. The air outside the mountain was scorching, so he had no doubt that the inside of the mountain would feel like a furnace.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Rocky felt waves of heat hit him, making him feel like his skin was burning. The inside of the mountain was really hot, just like a big steamer.
