Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 990 The Hell of Dragon Fang
"Yes, Father. Rest assured that we will always keep that in mind,” Geoffrey and Woods responded asthey bowed to their father.
"But Father, I heard that you are not feeling well these days. How are you doing now?" askedGeoffrey. He was trying his best to pretend that he was actually concerned about their father.
"I already knew that you will all be here today. I wanted to take a walk, so I asked Alyssa toaccompany me. Today, I will announce the task that you are going to complete. Everyone must keepin mind that the task will be very crucial. If a prince completes the said task, I will be inclined tochoose him as my successor.” As soon as the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire broke the news,the crowd fell into complete silence.
Several princes, including Geoffrey and Woods, looked at each other in utter surprise. They didn'texpect that their father would decide his successor in this way.
"Alyssa, I'll leave the following things to you now! Please go ahead,” said the emperor directly toAlyssa.
Alyssa nodded at her father's orders. Then, she took a step forward, stood in front of everyone andlooked around the crowd coldly. Next, she looked at the princes seriously and started to explain thetask, "I have to tell you first and foremost that this task is very difficult, and it is also very dangerous.It has a great impact on our empire. Therefore, this is absolutely a huge test for you!"
"Alyssa, stop beating about the bush. Just tell us what the task is, so we can start already!" Algydemanded. His tone was very eager with a hint of arrogance.
Glancing at the eldest prince with a cold look, Alyssa continued, "This task requires you to enter anincredibly odd place to look for a spiritual treasure. The task will be completed once the treasure isfound.”
"What? The task that decides who will be the successor to our father is just a treasure hunt? That'stoo simple for me," Algy said scornfully. He was extremely appalled that the task seemed toosimple.
"Alyssa, please tell us where is this place that you are talking about,” Woods asked. He thoughtabout the task which seemed too simple, but realized that the key point was the place that theywould be going. He knew that the task was not that simple because of the serious expression onAlyssa's face.
"The Hell of Dragon Fang!" As Alyssa uttered those words, her face became hard as steel.
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone knew that the Hell of Dragon Fang wasone of the most dangerous places in the Wild Spirit Land. Only the powerful warriors above theSupernal Stage dared to step foot there. The spirit-manipulated beasts there were at least at thefourth grade of the four-star level, and there were also many beasts at the five-star level. Moreover,even beasts at the six-star level occupied some areas there as their breeding grounds.
Besides, even the masters above the Supernal Stage who dared to enter the Hell of Dragon Fangonly grazed the edge of the place before they turned around to escape. The more they went deeperand farther, the more dangerous the place would be. Only peerless warriors at or above the DivineStage dared to wander around there. But they only looked around the place as fast as they could.They knew that if they stayed there longer, then they would encounter more unimaginable perils.Therefore, it was already obvious how totally dangerous it was to go there.
Of course, everyone was curious about the kind of spiritual treasure that could be found there. Ifthey actually had to enter such a dangerous place to look for the treasure, then maybe the spiritualtreasure was something so unusual and out of this world. It might be something that could help theTimber Deity Empire achieve glory.
The arrogant and dismissive eldest prince deflated like a ball when he heard that he was going tosuch a dangerous place. He didn't dare to say anything more, lest he would embarrass himselfagain. Because no matter how arrogant he was, he knew that going to the Hell of Dragon Fang waslike a nightmare that came true.
"What? Really? The Hell of Dragon Fang?" Geoffrey asked for clarification, and his face changed everso slightly.
Although Woods kept his composure, he looked serious and deep in thought. No wonder his fatherused this task to determine his successor. If any prince could enter the Hell of Dragon Fang and replacethe spiritual treasure, he would indeed prove that he was the best successor. Because this task was atest for not only his sons’ power and strength, but also their ability to independently solve problemsin perilous situations.
When he realized this, Woods immediately looked up and met his eyes with Alyssa's. Fortunately, hehad his sister to back him up compared to the other princes. At a critical moment, his sister woulddefinitely lend him a helping hand.
"This task is a competition. I and two elders will go together to supervise the progress of this task.The rules of this task are the same as the ones that our father has emphasized before. For thiscompetition, everyone should have a clear and clean intention in your hearts. You should completethe task separately and cannot interfere with each other. The two elders and I will strictly monitoryou. So if any of you violates the rules, he will be immediately disqualified.” Alyssa continued tostrictly explain the competition.
When they heard this, several princes looked at each other, with their eyes full of hostility. From nowon, they all knew that the countdown for the competition for the throne had already started. Thistask was also the final test for them to strengthen their own forces, so they would definitely go allout.
"You will be given a month to complete the task. If any prince replaces a spiritual treasure within thattime frame, then he will be deemed successful.” Alyssa announced the deadline with all seriousness."I have a question. What if no one replaces the spiritual treasure?” Geoffrey asked. He thought it washighly possible because of the perils that awaited them in the Hell of Dragon Fang.
"Then the two elders and I will assess your performance in the Hell of Dragon Fang. After we assessyour performance, we will recommend the prince with the best performance to our father,” Alyssaresponded immediately. She and the two elders had already thought of every possible outcome ofthis competition.
When they heard this, some of the princes looked extremely relieved while others looked incrediblyworried!
Except for Alyssa who supported Woods, the two elders had no prince that they supported. But itwas obviously not enough for the five remaining princes. They knew that someone was doomed tobe defeated. In particular, the third prince and the fifth prince were weak. Their abilities and powerswere inferior compared to the others. And besides that, they didn't win any favor from strongbackers at all. With their inferior abilities, it was almost guaranteed that the two princes wouldn't beable to replace any spiritual treasure. If that were the case, then they surely wouldn't have any chancesto inherit the throne.
But of course, luck was a big factor in this competition since the mission was to look for thetreasure. Therefore, every prince would have a chance which was extremely fair!
"The task will begin exactly three days from now. You can set off to the Hell of Dragon Fang in theafternoon of that day. All of you must do your preparations before that. I am warning you, the Hellof Dragon Fang is far more dangerous than you think. You must be fully prepared and make allkinds of plans to deal with any dangers you may encounter there. In addition, I advise you all not tobring weak spirit manipulators with you. Otherwise, you would only be weakened and you don'twant that to happen. Try your best to reduce the number of soldiers that you will bring. It may notbe a good thing to have more people in the Hell of Dragon Fang!" Alyssa reminded the princes."Alyssa, you haven't even told us what kind of spiritual treasure it is that we need to replace," Algysuddenly asked as he processed all the information in his head.
The remaining princes also looked at her. They were also thinking about the same thing.
"No one knows what kind of spiritual treasure it is. You need to judge it by yourselves." Alyssasimply answered the question.
The six princes were aghast. If they didn't even know what the spiritual treasure looked like, howcould they even replace it, especially in such a dangerous and odd place as the Hell of Dragon Fang?!
