Madame Pandora nodded and quickly pressed on Darryl's acupoints with her elbow. It was her first time doing that, but under Darryl's guidance, she managed to seal his acupoints successfully.
Immediately, Darryl could not feel the pain anymore, so he activated his internal energy to push all the thorns out of his body. Ten seconds later, all the thorns were out while the ropes around his hand and feet were removed as well.
He felt relieved at having regained his freedom, and his eyes were twinkling with anger. 'D*mn it! I've suffered for no reason at all. I must make that Sect Master pay for what she had done to me!' Then, he quickly went to untie Madame Pandora.
"Darren, how did you remove those ropes?" Madame Pandora asked. As a member of the Fantasy Sect, she knew just how powerful the sect was, and the rope used to tie them was quite unique, so she was surprised to see him break it apart so easily. He was truly a man of wonder. However, she would not have thought about him in that way if she knew that he was at a level beyond her imagination.
Darryl smiled and was about to explain when he saw the crack on the wall behind Madame Pandora. He could sense a subtle spiritual aura drifting from it. 'Is the spiritual aura really coming from there?' Darryl thought as he made his way over to the wall.
He activated his internal energy and smacked the wall with his palm. The wall broke and gave way to a dark and mysterious hole. Though Darryl did not know where it would lead, he could sense a rock formation guarding it.
"That is odd. Why is there a hidden mechanism in a jail? What is that place exactly?" Darryl muttered to himself.
Madame Pandora was shocked by the discovery as well, but when she heard Darryl's muttering, she immediately said, "We're at Mount Rochsor, the tallest mountain in the Roland Continent."
'The tallest mountain?' Darryl thought with a frown. He asked Madame Pandora, "Since you're a member of the Fantasy Sect, you must know where this hole leads to, right?"
Madame Pandora shook her head. "I've been here for many years, but I have never heard Sect Master mention a hole here. I think she doesn't know about its existence as well, for she would have made it off-limits for anyone."
Darryl nodded, then he took out a wrinkly map, which he had gotten from Gandalf after helping Madeleine catch him. When he looked at the map, he discovered a particular location had been marked. He thought it was pointing to a treasure, so he did not give it much thought. After he thought about it, he believed the marked location to be Mount Rochsor.
He unfolded the map and looked at the red dot on the map. He immediately became excited. He was right! It was Mount Rochsor.
