Chapter 452 Three Dangerous Places (1/2)
Not knowing how Austin fared while he was in the Fire Valley, Anna and Iris were worried sick about his safety. But as soon as Austin came out of the valley, he suddenly felt very warm deep inside and happy when he saw them waiting for him anxiously. It actually felt good that someone would wait for him.
Although he had saved their lives before, but they didn't exactly grow up together and had only met by chance, hence their relationship was not that deep yet. They were still more like strangers than acquaintances. Besides, in the world of warriors, everyone's primary interest was only profit, relationships and unnecessary feelings are just considered liabilities. And there are only a handful of people who are kind enough to thank people who help them out.
Iris and Anna were both overjoyed when they saw Austin flew out of the valley, especially Iris, who had previously been guilty of leading Austin into the dangerous valley. At this time, she looked immensely relieved when she saw Austin came back safe and sound.
”Austin, you have been in the valley for several hours already. Just how far out did you reach?”
Iris gazed at Austin from head to toe and observed that his eyes looked particularly bright and his face had a healthy warm glow. It was obvious that he did not get hurt in the valley but instead discovered something interesting. Hence, the curiosity was evident in her tone when she asked Austin.
''Sadly I was unable to go very far. I just went deep into the Fire Valley which was 2500 meters deep, and then I dared not venture further again.”
Austin went deep into the valley 2, 500 meters deep while Iris and Anna were only able to reach five or six hundred meters ahead. This frustrated them so much, so they were silent for a while.
Despite the fact that Austin reached further than they ever did, he still looked very relaxed and comfortable. There was no trace or hint of fear or fatigue in him. And even after experiencing multiple dangers in the valley, he was still able to talk and laugh with them as if nothing happened. It was like he just went for a lazy stroll in some pretty garden and came back relaxed and rejuvenated.
They started reflecting on themselves because of Austin's disposition. Although the both of them have been resting outside of the valley for quite some time already, they still felt breathless and tired. It was as if they were the ones who entered the valley and not Austin.
But despite of it all, Austin still said that he was ashamed that he was only able to reach such a distance. If the likes of him were ashamed of his achievement then what they have reached was more shameful in comparison.
With this train of thought, Anna who had a simple character, could not help but give Austin a mean look.
”Oh, by the way, weren't the two of you supposed to collect fire spirit stones and take them back to your Master?
