Chapter 990 The Hell of Dragon Fang
"Yes, Father. Rest assured that we will always keep that in mind," Geoffrey and Woods responded as
they bowed to their father.
"But Father, I heard that you are not feeling well these days. How are you doing now?" asked Geoffrey.
He was trying his best to pretend that he was actually concerned about their father.
"I already knew that you will all be here today. I wanted to take a walk, so I asked Alyssa to apany
me. Today, I will announce the task that you are going toplete. Everyone must keep in mind that
the task will be very crucial. If a princepletes the said task, I will be inclined to choose him as my
sessor." As soon as the emperor of the Timber Deity Empire broke the news, the crowd fell into
Several princes, including Geoffrey and Woods, looked at each other in utter surprise. They didn''t
expect that their father would decide his sessor in this way.
"Alyssa, I''ll leave the following things to you now! Please go ahead," said the emperor directly to
Alyssa.
Alyssa nodded at her father''s orders. Then, she took a step forward, stood in front of everyone and
looked around the crowd coldly. Next, she looked at the princes seriously and started to exin the
task, "I have to tell you first and foremost that this task is very difficult, and it is also very dangerous. It
has a great impact on our empire. Therefore, this is absolutely a huge test for you!"
"Alyssa, stop beating about the bush. Just tell us what the task is, so we can start already!" Algy
demanded. His tone was very eager with a hint of arrogance.
ncing at the eldest prince with a cold look, Alyssa continued, "This task requires you to enter an
incredibly odd ce to look for a spiritual treasure. The task will bepleted once the treasure is
found."
"What? The task that decides who will be the sessor to our father is just a treasure hunt? That''s too
simple for me," Algy said scornfully. He was extremely appalled that the task seemed too simple.
"Alyssa, please tell us where is this ce that you are talking about," Woods asked. He thought about
the task which seemed too simple, but realized that the key point was the ce that they would be
going. He knew that the task was not that simple because of the serious expression on Alyssa''s face.
"The Hell of Dragon Fang!" As Alyssa uttered those words, her face became hard as steel.
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone knew that the Hell of Dragon Fang was one
of the most dangerous ces in the Wild Spirit Land. Only the powerful warriors above the Supernal
Stage dared to step foot there. The spirit-manipted beasts there were at least at the fourth grade of
the four-star level, and there were also many beasts at the five-star level. Moreover, even beasts at the
six-star level upied some areas there as their breeding grounds.
Besides, even the masters above the Supernal Stage who dared to enter the Hell of Dragon Fang only
grazed the edge of the ce before they turned around to escape. The more they went deeper and
farther, the more dangerous the ce would be. Only peerless warriors at or above the Divine Stage
dared to wander around there. But they only looked around the ce as fast as they could. They knew
that if they stayed there longer, then they would encounter more unimaginable perils. Therefore, it was
already obvious how totally dangerous it was to go there.
Of course, everyone was curious about the kind of spiritual treasure that could be found there. If they
actually had to enter such a dangerous ce to look for the treasure, then maybe the spiritual treasure
was something so unusual and out of this world. It might be something that could help the Timber Deity
Empire achieve glory.
The arrogant and dismissive eldest prince deted like a ball when he heard that he was going to such
a dangerous ce. He didn''t dare to say anything more, lest he would embarrass himself again.
Because no matter how arrogant he was, he knew that going to the Hell of Dragon Fang was like a
nightmare that came true.
"What? Really? The Hell of Dragon Fang?" Geoffrey asked for rification, and his face changed ever
so slightly.
Although Woods kept hisposure, he looked serious and deep in thought. No wonder his father
used this task to determine his sessor. If any prince could enter the Hell of Dragon Fang and find
the spiritual treasure, he would indeed prove that he was the best sessor. Because this task was a
test for not only his sons'' power and strength, but also their ability to independently solve problems in
perilous situations.
When he realized this, Woods immediately looked up and met his eyes with Alyssa''s. Fortunately, he
had his sister to back him uppared to the other princes. At a critical moment, his sister would
definitely lend him a helping hand.
"This task is apetition. I and two elders will go together to supervise the progress of this task. The
rules of this task are the same as the ones that our father has emphasized before. For thispetition,
everyone should have a clear and clean intention in your hearts. You shouldplete the task
separately and cannot interfere with each other. The two elders and I will strictly monitor you. So if any
of you vites the rules, he will be immediately disqualified." Alyssa continued to strictly exin the
When they heard this, several princes looked at each other, with their eyes full of hostility. From now
on, they all knew that the countdown for thepetition for the throne had already started. This task
was also the final test for them to strengthen their own forces, so they would definitely go all out.
"You will be given a month toplete the task. If any prince finds a spiritual treasure within that time
frame, then he will be deemed sessful." Alyssa announced the deadline with all seriousness.
"I have a question. What if no one finds the spiritual treasure?" Geoffrey asked. He thought it was
highly possible because of the perils that awaited them in the Hell of Dragon Fang.
"Then the two elders and I will assess your performance in the Hell of Dragon Fang. After we assess
your performance, we will rmend the prince with the best performance to our father," Alyssa
responded immediately. She and the two elders had already thought of every possible oue of this
When they heard this, some of the princes looked extremely relieved while others looked incredibly
worried!
Except for Alyssa who supported Woods, the two elders had no prince that they supported. But it was
obviously not enough for the five remaining princes. They knew that someone was doomed to be
defeated. In particr, the third prince and the fifth prince were weak. Their abilities and powers were
inferiorpared to the others. And besides that, they didn''t win any favor from strong backers at all.
With their inferior abilities, it was almost guaranteed that the two princes wouldn''t be able to find any
spiritual treasure. If that were the case, then they surely wouldn''t have any chances to inherit the
throne.
But of course, luck was a big factor in thispetition since the mission was to look for the treasure.
Therefore, every prince would have a chance which was extremely fair!
"The task will begin exactly three days from now. You can set off to the Hell of Dragon Fang in the
afternoon of that day. All of you must do your preparations before that. I am warning you, the Hell of
Dragon Fang is far more dangerous than you think. You must be fully prepared and make all kinds of
ns to deal with any dangers you may encounter there. In addition, I advise you all not to bring weak
spirit maniptors with you. Otherwise, you would only be weakened and you don''t want that to
happen. Try your best to reduce the number of soldiers that you will bring. It may not be a good thing to
have more people in the Hell of Dragon Fang!" Alyssa reminded the princes.
"Alyssa, you haven''t even told us what kind of spiritual treasure it is that we need to find," Algy
suddenly asked as he processed all the information in his head.
The remaining princes also looked at her. They were also thinking about the same thing.
"No one knows what kind of spiritual treasure it is. You need to judge it by yourselves." Alyssa simply
answered the question.
The six princes were aghast. If they didn''t even know what the spiritual treasure looked like, how could
they even find it, especially in such a dangerous and odd ce as the Hell of Dragon Fang?!
