Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Having anticipated this, Zachary tried to play it cool. He didn't want to be laughed at by the other disciples, so he just shrugged, gave them a smile and deliberately said, "Fair ladies, if you'll excuse me, I'll have a walk around. Just remember to leave a bed for me." With that, he turned around intending to leave.

"Bastard, I'm not done with you! Thanks to you, our clan's several disciples were hurt by Queenie. Do you honestly think we can let you go that easily?" said Alger angrily. Seeing that no one else was around, he decided to stir up some trouble for him.

"Then what do you want? Do you want to beat me up?" Zachary asked with a sneer.

"That would be too easy. I'll make your life a living hell instead!" Alger exclaimed changing his stance.

"Let's wait until you can catch up with me," replied Zachary. After casting a disdainful look at Alger, he left with Shadow Pace.

"Stop!" ordered Alger, running after him.

However, Alger wasn't fast enough. As he rushed to catch up, Zachary was nowhere to be found. "What a cowardly bastard! You can run but I'll find you one day," he murmured in frustration as he went back.

After getting rid of Alger, Zachary strolled around the Shura College.

'Where does Polly live? I haven't completed my main quest yet. Now I'm at Shura College, this is a good opportunity for me and I have to seize it. Anyway, it's not like she can recognize me now, ' Zachary thought to himself.

In that moment, he suddenly sensed some unusual aura following him. He turned around and saw a scholar-like disciple behind him.

"Bro, how extraordinarily agile you are! Even I almost couldn't catch up with you." Nelson calmly smiled.

"But the important thing is that you caught up with me. You're not bad." Zachary was startled. This was the first time he'd met a disciple who was able to keep up with his speed, though he would expect it of Nelson as he was one of the top ten disciples in the Celestial College.

"Where are you going?" Nelson asked, adopting a casual tone.

"Don't beat around the bush. Get to the point, will you?" Zachary replied. He knew Nelson had followed him for a reason.

ven while still at the edge of it. He couldn't beyond his immediate surroundings, so it was hard to say what kind of danger he would encounter once he went deep into the forest.

"This quest of King Level is obviously more difficult than those that came before it. I have to be careful," Zachary murmured to himself as he went deep into the Demonic Forest. He activated the power of the Dog Soul Ring to enhance his senses and began to look for treasures around the area.

Although the Demonic Forest was a dangerous place, with the help of the Shadow Pace and the Dog Soul Ring, it was a smooth journey for Zachary all the way inside. He soon found the first item and started to look for the second one.

Two hours later, he found the second one in a cave.

"The third one must be nearby." After taking a look at his Treasure-hunting Compass' radar, Zachary left the cave and went out in search of it.

In that moment, Zachary suddenly heard a furious roar not far away. It made the ground tremble. He was astonished to sense an aura of King Level coming from somewhere. Curious as to what a disciple would be doing in such a dangerous place, he immediately followed the direction of the sound. Not long after, he saw a delicate figure fighting with a martial beast at the first grade of King Level.

"Wow, what a coincidence! Why is she here?" Zachary couldn't help exclaiming. It was Polly, the woman he'd been trying to find.
