“Darryl, what’s with all the shouting?” Rachel shouted at Darryl, looking dissatisfied.
‘Sh*t!’ Darryl cursed to himself.
“You can both go ahead if you aren’t afraid to die. I’m telling you there is a formation in front of you. There are Nine Star Flames hidden under these flagstones. If you walk over them without knowing how to solve the formation, the Nine Star Flames will spew out,” he replied sullenly.
To be honest, Darryl felt like just letting them die as they both had almost caused his death multiple times.
However, Debra was right. No matter what, Rachel was his godfather’s daughter. Besides, the past incidents were a long time ago; he could not just watch them court death.
‘Nine Star Flames?’
Hearing that, Ewan and Rachel dared not move, and their faces turned pale instantly.
Although they had never seen the Nine Star Flames before, Ewan and Rachel had heard of this enchanted flame. They also knew that Nine Star Flames was number eight on the enchanted flame list. Its flame was a special blue color. Anyone who touched it would be burned to a crisp.
In the next second, Rachel pondered and smiled coldly as she spoke, “Darryl, you’re just worried that we’ll beat you to the treasure in the tomb room. You just made this story to bluff!”
“I am worried that you will beat me to get all the treasures?”
Darryl smiled immediately and mocked, “You sound so funny. You think the both of you have the ability to take away the treasure in front of me? You over-estimate yourselves!”
“You…” Rachel’s face turned red, and she was tongue-tied.
‘Although Darryl’s words are humiliating, he’s not wrong. With Ewan and my ability, we might not be able to beat him even if he's one-handed,’ she thought.
Darryl did not want to waste his time talking any further. He turned and said to Debra and Zhu Bajie, “Brother Zhu, Debra, the both of you follow behind me closely. Watch closely, follow all my steps, and don’t make any mistakes!”
Darryl led the way and stepped on the flagstone in front of him. Zhu Bajie and Debra nodded in reply and followed behind closely.
