Chapter 885: Dying to get treasures
Arnold’s eyes brightened, but his voice carried the weight of authority and experience. "Junior Brother Dustin, Junior Brother Corey, be careful. There must be a monster nearby." His tone was sharp, clearly aware that something as precious as a Pure Yang Flower would never be left unguarded in a place like this.
"It’s fine," Dustin replied with a careless grin, the young man’s confidence bordering on arrogance. "With Senior Brother Devon and Senior Brother Rick here, even if there is a monster, we have nothing to fear." Corey nodded in agreement, looking equally unbothered by the warning.
Arnold, however, frowned slightly. "Even so, we still need to be careful."
The tall and broad-shouldered young man standing to Arnold’s left, Devon, waved his hand casually and smiled. "Junior Brother Arnold is right. It’s best to remain cautious about everything. Better safe than sorry."
Rick, standing on the opposite side, swept his eyes across the surroundings, scanning the trees and water cautiously. "You two," he said, motioning toward Dustin and Corey, "go pick the Pure Yang Flowers together. Junior Brother Devon and I will stand guard on both sides."
"Good," Devon said firmly, giving his approval for Dustin and Corey to move forward.
The two young men nodded in unison, their expressions tense but determined. They quickly activated their protective shields, shimmering layers of vital essence that glowed faintly around their bodies, and began cautiously moving toward the pool where the Pure Yang Flower bloomed in serene stillness.
But just as they neared the edge of the pool, an ominous rumble echoed from beneath the surface. The entire body of water trembled violently, ripples spreading out like shockwaves.
Then, with a deafening roar that shook the forest and reached the skies, a massive figure erupted from the depths.
Three serpentine necks surged upward, each supporting a dragon’s ferocious head, scales glistening black as ink and eyes burning like crimson lanterns. The three-headed black dragon, guardian of the Pure Yang Flower, had revealed itself in all its terrifying might.
