Well…Howard stopped short, unable to return to his senses for a while.What was going on? Darryl said she was his wife, but the stunning lady had such a drastic reaction…Could they be hiding something else?Darryl scrambled to explain himself. "Don't get her wrong. My second wife and I have been having a bit of a tiff. Haha!"As he spoke, Darryl looked meaningfully at Loona.Gosh, what a simple girl. Could she not tell that he was trying to help her hide her identity?Oh!Howard nodded in understanding before flashing a smile. "Well, it must be fate that we ran into each other. Since you're here to explore too, why don't we team up? That way, we can all look out for each other, eh?"Despite the Bloodpierce Army having grown in skills and strength in the past few years, having 'Darren' on their team would surely make their work much easier. After all, it was all thanks to him that they were able to get out of the Valley of Death safely.Uhh…Darryl scratched his head in the

Darryl had a sharp eye and could tell immediately that the fog contained a potent poison that could become life-threatening as time passed.When Darryl studied medicine with the Divine Farmer, he had once heard him mention that any place with a powerful enough atmosphere to breed rare herbs and supplements always came with something that could cost someone's life close by.The valley was no different. It bred large amounts of Blood Fungi, but the seemingly ordinary-looking weeds beside it contained poison. The scent of the Blood Fungi could contain the power of the weeds, which maintained peace in the space.However, since Loona picked so much of the Blood Fungi earlier, it had disrupted the ecosystem of the area, and the weeds released their poisonous gas with no Blood Fungi around to control them.Whew!Loona did not stop at Darryl's words. Instead, she took a deep breath before saying impatiently, "Why should I listen to you? Anyone would want as many Blood Fungi as they could

Hoho!Bowen smirked coldly at Tyson's words, his eyes glinting with hatred. "Oh, I'll die before I hand over the ownership of the bow to money-hungry bastards like you."His tone was firm, not leaving any room for retaliation.Tyson's expression shifted at Bowen's words, his eyes glinting murderously. "Being stubborn, are we? I'll see just how long that can last."As he spoke, Tyson waved a hand.One of the riders strode forward, gripping a leather whip tightly as he walked toward Bowen.The next second, the whip was cracked. A crisp sound rang through the air as Bowen trembled, his flesh tearing open as blood gushed out to stain his clothing.Bowen gritted his teeth, not letting out a sound. He wanted to struggle, but his arms and legs were bound, and he could not move at all.Tyson smirked mockingly at Bowen. "That doesn't feel very good, does it? Out with it, and you won't have to bear this pain any longer. Why hold on?"Whew!Bowen took a breath, gritting his teeth even h

Whew!Veron trembled at the words, taking in a deep breath as her expression grew heavy.That was right… It was indeed suspicious that there were only a few people guarding the palace dungeon."Let's not think about that right now."Veron returned to her senses quickly enough. "I'm going to get you out of here, whether or not they've planned an ambush." As the final word rang through the air, Veron tugged at Bowen's hand as she ducked into a smaller path to the side with him.It had to be said that the palace was absolutely gigantic. It was going to be pretty hard getting out of there.Upon running for a few minutes, Veron stopped in her footsteps all of a sudden just as they were about to reach the palace gate facing the west.Veron could clearly sense a strong wave of internal energy wafting through the air. The gate before them was unguarded but radiated an air of animosity.At the same time, Bowen's heart began to race as well.Crap!Upon taking a look at their surroundin

No. Ninth Lady could not just die like this.Bowen exploded with unexplainable energy out of nowhere as he cried out. He charged out of the throng of black armored army riders surrounding him, throwing himself onto Veron.Thump!Tyson's blow landed heavily on Bowen's back. He let out a dull hum, blood spraying from his mouth as he collapsed onto Veron."Big guy!"Veron trembled at the sight, tears pouring from her eyes."You're going to live, Ninth Lady… you have to…" Bowen used the last of his strength to say the words to Veron slowly. "I'm going to lure Tyson to come after me, and you're going to get out of here. Promise me you will."Bowen had thought it through. He was going to pretend to give in and lure Tyson to his side to give Veron a chance to escape."No!"Veron shook her head vehemently, tears pouring from her eyes. "I'm not leaving… There's no point in living if I'm going to spend the rest of my days alone! Why did you take that blow for me? Why…"Veron sobbed as
