Hearing the crows' cries made Darren both happy and worried.
The greater the number of the golden crows, the more fragments he would get. But the strength of a golden crow was comparable to that of the half-step emperor. If there were more than a hundred of the golden crows, how horrible it would be!
"Darren, why do we even need the golden crows? Can you speed up further if you get more?" Laura asked curiously.
"No, it's not about that. I heard that the golden crows' fragments can help us enter the holy emperor's tomb to obtain the inheritance," Darren stated.
"What? Really?"
Chaz exclaimed in surprise. Even Laura was taken aback. The tomb had been discovered for many years. There were numerous strong warriors who wanted to enter the tomb, but none of them succeeded.
But now Darren told her that they could enter the holy emperor's tomb with the golden crows' fragments. It was really something worth noting. The dead holy emperor was indeed very powerful as he had practiced three conflicting martial arts skills. Even if they couldn't get the inheritance, absorbing some of the holy emperor's power in the tomb would be immensely beneficial for them!
"Who told you that?" Laura asked, feeling a bit skeptical.
"Surely that master," Darren answered.
"The master is so knowledgeable! No wonder the elders sent other warriors here, and so did all the other cities. It means that the holy emperor's tomb is about to open." Laura was excited. It would be the honor of lifetime if she had the chance to enter the holy emperor's tomb!
"All right. We should try to get as many pieces as possible first," Darren said.
"That kind of beast seems to be very powerful. There's no denying that it would be difficult for us to defeat one of them. How can we get more fragments in such a short amount of time?" Chaz could feel the power of the golden crows. The way the golden crows' cries echoed all around them made his heart sink.
Darren asked the dragon ancestor for help.
"Sir, there seems to be many golden crows here, but I have my doubts that we will be able to defeat them all."
"Silly boy... I have told you that I will help you. I have my own way." The dragon ancestor laughed confidently.
"What's it?"
"The golden crows have masculine power. We should use feminine power to deal with them. I have something called Serial Feminine Rings here. Just set it up as I say. Once a golden crow falls into it, its strength will be weakened by ninety percent. By then, you will be able to kill it. Do you understand?"
"Wow! That's really amazing! Please give it to me!"
"Cut the crap! I'll tell you how to use it."
The dragon ancestor explained the use of the Serial Feminine Rings unhurriedly.
A few moments later, more than ten rings inscribed with runes appeared in Darren's hands. Grabbing his sword, he pressed it upon his wrist and cut it open. Dragon blood gushed out and trickled down onto the rings.
"Darren! What's wrong with you? Why are you hurting yourself?" Laura couldn't help crying out.
Darren rolled his eyes at her. "It's for catching the golden crows."
"Oh, I see... I'm sorry you have to do this." Laura came over and put her hand on Darren's shoulder, leaning against him affectionately.
Darren leaned aside to avoid her. "Laura, we have to move now. Let's split up and set these rings up in the gloomiest area," he said.
"What? I don't know which area is gloomy," Laura said with a pout.
"I'll do it," Chaz said, taking half of the rings and flying up quickly afterwards.
"Great! That ugly man has finally gone, huh!" Laura said as she grinned from ear to ear. Chaz was starting to get on Laura's nerves.
"Darren, let's go together. I don't want to be left all alone," she said in a soft voice. Every time she had the chance, she would intentionally bump into Darren's shoulder. It was quite obvious that she was very much interested in him.
Darren sighed helplessly, and could do nothing but let her be.
