Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2471

Dax let out a bark of laughter before stepping forward towards Natalie and said, "My congratulations to Queen Natalie."

Chester, too, smiled in response and said, "Queen Natalie, both sides have suffered tremendous loss from the earlier battles. Let us settle the wounded before moving forward with further discussion."

Natalie smiled back gently and nodded in approval.

"Clear out the field." Chester turned to the soldiers around him and ordered. Soon after, he seemed to have remembered something. He grabbed Dax by the arm and said, "I wonder what happened after Darryl set off to chase after Donoghue, let's go after them and find out."

"That bast*rd Donoghue had used up most of his internal energy trying to escape, he is no match for Darryl for sure!" Dax cursed in disdain but immediately looked excited as he said, "although it would be quite satisfying if the three of us could be there at the same time for Donoghue's death, haha..." His voice faded as the two started heading towards the Wild Deserted Secret Region's direction.

On the battlefield, the armies were working to clear out the field under the command of Quincy, Yvette and a few others. Not too far from them, a figure sneaked off and headed towards the Nine Continents' camps. It was Zhang Jue on the move, his eyes glittered in the dark with schemes and ruthlessness.

Ever since he had surrendered to Darryl, Zhang Jue had never accepted his fate. He tried begging for help from his disciple Eira to retrieve the antidote for the Heaven Cult Elixir from Darryl, but Eira hadn't been able to succeed despite attempting multiple times. Zhang Jue couldn't have been more frustrated with his situation, but the moment he saw that Natalie had taken over control of the Raksasa Tribe and both sides had ceased fire, he realized that this was his chance to sneak into Darryl's tent when everyone else was preoccupied with clearing out the field. A few minutes later, Zhang Jue had successfully entered Darryl's tent without raising suspicion. He had turned over every corner and inspected everything attentively, and he soon managed to find a couple of bottles that contained elixirs made by Darryl. Instantly, Zhang Jue was overwhelmed with excitement. Although finding the antidote for the Heaven Cult Elixir might be challenging considering that there were over a dozen types of elixirs within those containers, Zhang Jue was confident that with his expertise in the Art of Elixirs. It wouldn't be long before he figured it out.

"Just wait and see, Darryl Darby. I, Zhang Jue, will rise into power again someday," Zhang Jue mumbled to himself with vicious eyes as he turned around and walked away from the camps, disappearing into the woods in a blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Wind was blowing frantically by Darryl's ears as he tried to slow his fall by continuously stabbing the Heavenly Halberd into the walls of the cliff, but with his internal energy drained, he was slowly beginning to lose strength. His body fell faster and harder by the second and as Darryl looked down, he was shocked to find a narrow valley at the very bottom of the cliff. Both ends of the valley seemed to extend indefinitely. As he was half way into the fall, Darryl caught sight of the green poisonous plants that covered the entire valley. Seeing that he was close to slamming into the ground, Darryl cursed inwardly and hurriedly released Rocky from the enchanted beast pouch.

Along with a roar, Rocky appeared from thin air and began to descend, flapping its wings with Darryl on its back. Unfortunately, Rocky's sense of balance was still affected the moment they charged into the poisonous fog.

Baam! Darryl somehow managed to row off a distance in an attempt to cancel out the impact of the fall but even so, he ended up spitting blood due to the severe damage he had taken. Rocky, on the other hand, was uninjured from the impact. As soon as it anchored itself, Rocky rushed to Darryl's side to check on him.

Darryl took a deep breath to steady himself before looking around. To his surprise, the entire area was covered with trees that seemed to have been there for over hundreds or thousands of years. Each tree grew into such gigantic size that it would take more than a dozen of man to completely surround its body. On top of that, the leaves were dark green in colour, likely due to the prolonged exposure to the poisonous fog. Darryl knew instinctively that every single leaf on these ancient trees was extremely poisonous. But since he was born with immunity against all poison, he didn't concern himself with it.
