Darryl took a deep breath and smiled as the door opened. He was certain there was a treasure in the door because it was secured with the Eight Trigrams Lock.
He suddenly heard footsteps behind him. It sounded like there were only two people. Darryl turned around and frowned as he saw who was approaching.
'F*ck! It's them!' He saw two rugged people strolling in his direction. They were Vincent and Sherman.
Previously, they were trapped in the jungle by a formation set up by Darryl. The formation's effect was lost when the ground shifted, and the energy vortex appeared. Following that, they fell into the energy vortex alongside the Hexa Swordmaidens.
Darryl initially thought it would be difficult to see them because the underground city was so vast. The two brothers were near him before he knew it.
"Darryl?" At that point, Vincent and Sherman saw Darryl too. Their faces looked terrible. If it were half a day ago, they would attack Darryl without mercy when they saw him. However, after seeing Darryl and the Hexa Swordmaidens fight, they understood that Darryl was very powerful and did not dare to do anything rash.
Vincent was not a stupid person, despite his arrogance. If the Hexa Swordmaidens were not Darryl's adversaries, he would be causing his own death by recklessly provoking Darryl.
"Sherman!" A few seconds later, Vincent took a deep breath and said, "Let's go." He pulled Sherman to turn around and leave. Since they could not defeat Darryl, staying far away from him was best to avoid any awkwardness.
However, Sherman did not have any intention to leave. He grabbed Vincent and said with a small voice, "Vincent, this place doesn't belong to Darryl. Why should we leave? I know Darryl is powerful. But after the fight with the Hexa Swordmaidens, I think he was hurt. So let's not panic." He looked at Darryl with a meaningful look.
Despite his youth and lack of cultivator experience, Sherman was extremely knowledgeable. He noticed Darryl was hurt during his last fight with the Hexa Swordmaidens, though Darryl did not show it to others.
