"Your Excellency, I plan to investigate the enchanted barrier, so I would like to humbly ask if you can deploy some of your men to go with me," Darryl said sincerely.
The White Tiger King nodded and smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that. It's about time we get out of here now that there's no internal fighting since the Beast Alliance and Flying Feathers Alliance are merged."
Then, the White Tiger King turned Colori Phoenix and Peacock Lilibet and said, "Assist His Excellency Darryl in the investigation of the enchanted barrier."
Colori Phoenix was the chief of the Phoenix clan. She was sexy but cold, while Peacock Lilibet was the chief of the Peacock clan.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" they said in unison. Their expressions were a little complicated. They felt a little conflicted receiving orders from the White Tiger King because they had not fully surrendered to him. However, it would not do them any good to express their dissatisfaction.
Darryl, Colori Phoenix, Peacock Lilibet, and a few Flying Feathers Alliance members left the stone castle a few minutes later. Along the way, Darryl kept on asking about the enchanted barrier but was given the cold shoulder by Peacock Lilibet and the usually aloof Colori Phoenix. He was baffled.
"I know you hate me for the Red Sparrow Queen's death, but the most important thing right now is to find a way to break the enchanted barrier and get out of here. It won't do anyone any good if you keep fighting with each other. So, please tell me everything you know about the enchanted barrier, okay?" Darryl said with a bitter smile.
Colori Phoenix and Peacock Lilibet glanced at each other. The next second, Peacock Lilibet exhaled softly and said, "We've been trapped here for ten thousand years. Do you really think you can break the enchanted barrier?" Her tone was filled with doubt.
Darryl smiled and said, "How can you doubt me when you're the one who's withholding information?"
Peacock Lilibet contemplated that before she said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything I'll know. Then we'll see if you can really do it."
The next half hour, Peacock Lilibet told Darryl everything she knew about the situation in the place where the demons were held captive. The enchanted barrier was made of four massive formations deployed in four directions—east, west, south, and north. The distance between each formation was tens of thousands of kilometers.
Over the past ten thousand years, while the Flying Feathers Alliance and the Beast Alliance were fighting, the Red Sparrow Queen also sent her subordinates to investigate the four formations in detail. However, those four formations were too mysterious and complicated, and many demons did not know how they worked. Therefore, even though they had investigated it countless times, they made no progress.
Darryl's eyes flashed when he learned that information, and he hurriedly said to Peacock Lilibet, "Quickly, take me to see those four formations."
Darryl was very excited. He felt things had gotten easier when he realized the source of the enchanted barrier was four formations. After all, he was very accomplished in formations, one of the best.
Peacock Lilibet nodded, and together with Colori Phoenix, they hurriedly led Darryl to the nearest Western Formation. Half an hour later, Darryl was utterly shocked by what he saw when they finally arrived at the location. The formation was built in a huge deep valley. Hot lava surged at the bottom of the valley, and the flames could reach hundreds of meters high. The entire valley was a huge furnace. They had to forget about breaking the formation; they would be burned to death by the scorching heat before they even got close to the valley.
