Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Although the disciples of the Dark Prison were cut off from the rest of the world, they were still under the supervision of some masters. They were still expected to correct their mistakes and return to the Shura College. Therefore, every once in a while, a competition would be held in which the winner was awarded with penalty reduction, exemption from a month's training and hunting, and other treasures.

The competition was usually held once a month in the form of team competition. The number of disciples per team could only be five at most. Naturally, the weaker disciples were less likely to win.

"Your mission is to go in the Dark Stone Cave to collect the Mysterious Dark Stone. In two days, the team that collects the most Mysterious Dark Stones will win," Willis announced.

All the disciples were eager to compete. Collecting Mysterious Dark Stones was the simplest task they could ever expect. It was largely based on luck, so it was a fair game even for the weaker disciples.

Many disciples at the Earth Level and the Heaven Level were very excited. They had a chance to win the game.

"The first step is to form teams. The number of people in each team cannot exceed five. Of course you can choose to be on your own but at your own risk," Willis reminded the disciples.

Soon, everyone started forming teams.

Birds of a feather flock together. The King Level disciples quickly teamed with one another. The rest of the disciples at the Heaven Level and the Earth Level also teamed up. Then, the four weakest disciples were left, including Jimmy. The last one was Zachary as no one wanted to team up with him.

"It seems that no one wants us again." Jimmy shook his head. It was really no surpris

ok his head. If they were strong enough, they could just muscle their way into the good hunting spots. Unfortunately, all they could do now was watch.

Soon, Zachary and his team reached the end of the tunnel.

"It's the end. Let's go look for another one," Jimmy told Zachary.

"This is the place," Zachary suddenly said.

"Here?" Jimmy and the three disciples looked at Zachary in confusion.

"Harley, no Mysterious Stone Crabs would come to this place. Let's look for another tunnel," Jimmy retorted.

"Listen to me. Let's dig. The deeper, the better. Take these for your hard work," Zachary said, taking out four fourth-grade white cultivation-aiding pills.

Jimmy and the three disciples were stupefied for a moment, but they took the pills. It was a worthy deal.

Jimmy and the other three disciples worked very hard.

Zachary found a corner and sat down, relaxing himself.

The four dug a hole deep enough to see an underground tunnel with the size of two palms. Still, no Mysterious Stone Crabs were seen.

"Should we keep digging?" Jimmy asked, raising his head.

"Yes," Zachary answered without opening his eyes.
