Chapter 921 The Dragon Ancestors Astonishment (1/2)

After staying there for a while, everyone flew away.

The battle had just ended and Darren had shown his amazing strength. The battle was going to attract some strong cultivators and fierce beasts. Hence, the best choice was to leave first.

”Darren, tell me the truth. Why did you risk your life to save me just now?” Laura, who had been flying alongside Darren, moved closer to him.

”Laura, what do you want to know?” Darren smiled.

”That's what I want to know. So, why?”

”Well... It's always been my thing, you know? Even if we don't know each other well, you're my friend. It has always been my instinct to protect my friends and loved ones,” Darren explained.

Laura pondered for a while. ”Instinct? You protecting me was instinctive? Well, now I'm a little sad... I thought...”

Laura trailed off.

She was waiting for Darren to ask her to continue but Darren was too focused on flying.

”Humph!” Laura huffed when she couldn't get Darren to follow along. She hung back a little and stayed silent.

A few hours later

The group had reached a stone forest. At this time, Laura asked everyone to go down.

”Let's just walk through this forest,” Laura said.

”But why?” asked Arvin.

”Some strange natural Illusion Array is at work in this forest. If we fly, we may get lost and never find our way around.”

”Is it really so magical?” Darren asked curiously.

”Why don't you try, Darren? But, be warned! If you get lost, I won't be able to find you,” Laura said with a smile.

”Ah! Forget it. Laura, how far are we from the holy emperor's tomb?” Darren asked.

”It's just through this stone forest,”
