Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"On behalf of the Dignified Supernal Sect, I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to everyone that gathered here today to cure our sect's Holy Maiden. I won't elaborate her case any further since I have informed all of you before. She was accidentally poisoned by the Spooky Fire Gas several months ago, which caused its toxins to slowly erode her body. Although she had held on all this time, she was still unable to resist the poison in the end. She has now fallen into a coma and is at death's door. For multiple times, we have tried our best to look for a cure, or anything that might alleviate her condition, but our efforts were futile—we still couldn't find a way to detoxify her. Therefore, I have summoned all of you here, hoping that you might be able to help her case. If anyone of you can completely cure her, then our sect will be indebted to you and we will give you and your sect or clan everything you want," Remington announced, his deep voice reaching the far end of the crowd.

Remington and the others were amazed. They didn't expect that he could refine an invulnerable body, because this was not something an ordinary person could do. Plus, he also did it in such a short time!

"But even if you can absorb the Spooky Fire Gas into your body, the toxin inside her is extremely poisonous. Even though you are now invincible, you may not be able to withstand it!" Remington said at once. Although he was worried for the young man's welfare, he still admired Zachary's dedication to getting where he was. In order to save Tania, Zachary had been willing to sacrifice himself.

"I have my own way to resolve it. Please, sir! Don't worry about me. Our utmost priority at the moment is to save her life," Zachary firmly said. He understood that they were only expressing their concerns, but no matter what might happen, he would never be swayed.

Remington and Kendrick immediately looked at each other, looking hesitant.

"Do you know what you're doing, Hodge? This could endanger not only your life, but also Tania's," Remington asked once again.

"I can't say absolutely, but I will try my best," Zachary answered, with a resolute look on his face.
