Chapter 91 - Battle within the Forest (1/2)

It was late in the afternoon, and the Black Mist forest was still bustling with activity. Many people chose not to leave even when the sun was setting. The reason for this was very simple...The Uncrowned Emperor and the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire were still there.

Two hours ago, the Uncrowned emperor who had left the Black Mist forest come back with the 12 Dragon Pillars. To make matter more interesting, the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas empire along with five commanders of the Red Storm Legion was with him as well.

The two of them along with their subordinates traveled deeper inside the forest, but no one knows why. However, many people speculated that they were searching for the legendary treasure left by Henry as well while some believed that they were following or looking for the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire.

Some of them were present when the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire had stumped upon one of the members of the 12 Dragon pillars and even threatened the crown prince for a young girl, In their minds, the prince was looking for revenge. However, the majority of them still believed that they were looking for the treasure instead.

Although no one had seen it yet and they held a skeptical attitude about its existence, the two imperial princes and their subordinates continued forward.

The 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire was the most familiar with the Black Mist Forest and led the way. Because of this, everyone guessed that they were really searching for the treasure instead of the 4th imperial prince.

This was why the majority of the people were still staying in the forest. No one truly wanted to give up on this legendary unknown treasure.

A while later, even more, people came to the forest for their search. There was no lack of warriors, mages and regular fighters following the two imperial princes' group either.

If such a treasure really did exist, the two imperial princes' group had a better chance of getting it than anyone else. It wasn't only because they were powerful, more importantly, no one else in this place could understand the Black Mist forest more than the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire.

The 3rd Imperial prince likes to hunt magical beasts for fun and the Black Mist forest was like his hunting ground as it was closer to Sky Suppression City. Because of this, many of the warriors and mages following them and trailing them in the distance thought it wouldn't be bad to get some leftover soup from the group.

At this moment, their presence even made more people believe in the rumors. Thus, they explored and excavated everywhere. The entire forest became quite lively.

” Boom!” As everyone was turning the forest upside down, the ground suddenly started to shake violently as a huge explosion rang out from the deepest part of the forest.

This disturbance of the explosion caused the entire Black Mist forest to an uproar. Countless low and mid-level magical beasts frantically fled, afraid that they would be caught off in that earth-shaking battle that was taking place in the deeper part of the forest.

The huge disturbance coming from the deeper part of the forest was naturally discovered by all the treasure seekers that were within the area. They were both stunned and surprised when they heard that big explosion. Even though they were pretty far away, the skin on their scalps turned numb at this moment. Just what kind of power was that, to cause the whole forest to shake to this extent.

As for the two imperial princes, they suddenly stopped their footsteps and looked at the location of that explosion.

” It seems like your guess was right, our little friend really did know something.” Said the 3rd imperial prince of the Nicholas Empire as his swept the Uncrowded Emperor with his gaze before looking towards the north with a cunning smile on his face.

The crown prince only smiles a little before he continued to move forward which was also in the same direction where that explosion came from.

” Someone must have found the treasure because there seemed to be a big fight on that side of the forest.” The treasure seekers eventually calmed down and felt jubilant. Without wasting any more time, they all rushed towards the location where the explosion came from as well even though it meant putting their lives at risk or in danger. While animals might die in such for food, human mostly died because treasure and greed.
