Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 922 The Golden Crow

Darren had expected the dragon ancestor's astonishment.

"What a surprise!" exclaimed the dragon ancestor.

"I suppose it is." Darren put on a smug smile.

The dragon ancestor continued to explore the crystal embedded in Darren's soul in an attempt tofigure out what it was. All of a sudden, he let out a painful cry. He was almost annihilated by astrange force.

"That's so strange!" The dragon ancestor hurriedly withdrew his spiritual sense and dared notexplore the crystal again. "You'll be an overlord in the future!" he said with a chuckle. "I have livedfor so many years, and it's the first time I've encountered such a strong Fake God Character.

But your strength seems to be too weak. I think you should be at least a top level half-step emperorwith the Fake God Character.”

"Well, I don't know anything about that. Anyway, I don't even know how to use it,” Darren casuallysaid.

After a moment's silence, the dragon ancestor clicked his tongue. "Alas, it's such a waste! Youactually can't completely make use of such a powerful Fake God Character.”

"What about you? Do you know how to use it? Teach me,” Darren said

"How could I possibly know? You got this! Why do you ask me how to use it? You are really aweirdo.

Forget it. I don't want to nag you anymore. No matter what, you'd better practice yourswordsmanship first. I will keep an eye on you all the time.”

"Yes, yes, got it..." Darren mumbled under his breath, withdrawing his spiritual sense.

"Darren, what are you thinking? You have been in a trance for almost an hour,"

Laura said, breaking the silence.

"Nothing," Darren said calmly.

"Don't try to hide your thoughts from me. Were you thinking of me?" Laura's eyes were filled withan indefinite charm.

"Don’t tease me. You're with me right now. There's no need to think about you,” Darren answered ashe rolled his eyes.

"Humph!" She was starting to get more and more confused with Darren's attitude. “The first time wemet, he was drawn to me. It's like he's never been attracted to me since then, ' she thought toherself.

It was the first time that Laura had been in this kind of situation. She began to suspect that perhapsher charm was not enough to lure this man, which made her feel a little upset.

'Wait a minute. Is he playing hard to get? He must be! He deliberately puts on such an indifferentattitude so that I would always be interested in him. What a cunning man!

Well, two can play in that game. I wonder if he'll feel jealous if I start flirting with someone else!Laura concluded with much certainty.

Under such circumstances, if she turned to another one to flirt with, Darren would be the one to fallinto the pit of jealousy.

After a glance at Darren, Laura's eyes fell on Chaz. If Darren saw this, he would surely get jealous!"Chaz, what about you? Why don't you say anything? It's getting so boring!" Laura walked to Chazwith her shoulders back and her chest out. The pink robes she was wearing stretched over herbreasts, making her look rather alluring.

Darren turned around and gave a glance at her. Then he smiled. It seemed that he knew what Laurawas thinking about.

Much to her dismay, Chaz just completely ignored her. "He's even colder than Darren!" she thoughtscornfully. Walking back, she crossed her arms in defeat.

Three days later

The stone forest became hotter and hotter. It was so scorching that it almost felt like a flame wasgrazing directly on their skin.

"This place is as hot as the underground magma in the forbidden domain of the Space-time Palace,”Darren murmured to himself.

"Laura, how long do we still need?"

A small number of disciples with weaker strength couldn't take the heat any longer. The scorchinghot environment was just too much to bear.

"Ten thousand kilometers left,” Laura answered, keeping her eyes forward.

"It's still so far away. How about we fly over there? We really can't walk anymore in this heat,”someone suggested.

All the people were Holy Realm warriors and could walk thirty thousand kilometers a day. However,in such a hot place, they would be lucky if they could manage to walk a thousand kilometers a day.Most of their power was currently being used to withstand the high temperature.

"We are not doing that! You are not allowed to fly in the stone forest," Laura exclaimed through hergritted teeth.

Boom!

At this moment, there was a loud rumble from the distance.

Waves upon waves of powerful energy soared into the sky, emitting brilliant light.

"What a powerful force! All of them are as strong as Laura's power!" Everyone was startled.

"They must be the strong cultivators from other cities. Are they in a fight?"

"Let's go to have a look!"

But Laura raised her hand to stop them—she was starting to feel an extremely dangerous auraapproaching.

"Tweet!"

A figure suddenly passed through them.

As it passed, a deep ditch formed in the ground. A disciple of the Holy City was accidentally hit bythe black figure and his leg was broken.

"What is it?" Everyone was frightened.

Darren gathered himself and checked the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but found nothing."It's the golden crow. It seems that holy emperor's tomb is going to open,” the dragon ancestormurmured in Darren's mind

"Sir, do you know what it was?" Darren asked.

"Of course I know. They have always been in that tomb. Rumor has it that once they fly out, theancient emperor will be looking for a person for inheritance.”

"You mean, the holy emperor's tomb is going to be opened?”

"I suppose so. Boy, kill that golden crow. You may have a chance to get into the tomb."

"I want to kill it, too. But where is it? Besides, why do I feel that it is stronger than a half-stepemperor?” Darren said helplessly.

"Little fool, didn't you see the golden-red blood on the ground? It has been seriously injured, and isnow very weak. You just need to take a blow to kill it. As for its location, I will guide you.”

"Okay!" Darren nodded. Then he rushed away and disappeared in the stone forest under theguidance of the dragon ancestor.

"Tweet! Tweet!"

After a short while, a painful cry from the bird came out. Then, it was silent once more.

At a location three kilometers away from Laura and the others, Darren picked up a golden-red crow."It's nothing special,” Darren said.

"Nonsense! First collect its blood and crush its head to see if there is any special fragment in it.""Okay."

Darren collected the blood and indeed found a golden fragment of the size of a finger in the headof the golden crow.

"What's this?" Darren asked curiously.

"I don't know. Perhaps it's the key to enter the holy emperor's tomb. You should keep it safe first.”"Okay."

After Darren put away the fragment and the blood, he quickly ran back to Laura and the others."Darren, have you got it? What is it?" Laura asked promptly.

When Darren was about to explain the situation, the dragon ancestor interjected in a serious tone,"Don't you dare tell her, lad. Don't tell anyone."

"Well..." Darren answered. Then he said, "I don't know what it was. Anyway, it disappeared without atrace. Don't worry, it's gone now. Let's go.”

All of a sudden, a voice called out, "Stop! Hand over the golden crow or this will be the end for all ofyou!"

Powerful figures flew over one after another, surrounding Darren and the others. There was even afive-tribulation junior holy warrior!
