Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Chapter 717 The Giant Spiritual Bee

When Zachary arrived at the Living-dead Tomb, he chanced upon Anne walking out of the tomb. She was just about to leave.

"Anne, are you going somewhere?" Zachary asked at once.

"You came right on time. I'm planning to go to Fairy island," Anne said with a smile when she saw Zachary approaching.

"Fairy Island? Are you looking for Tania?" Zachary asked out of curiosity.

"No, I'm going there to get the Giant Spiritual Bee's honey." Anne shook her head in response.

"Giant Spiritual Bee... The name alone sounds scary already," Zachary replied through pursed lips.

"If it scares you, you can stay here and wait for me," Anne mumbled, unhappy to hear his remark.

"Scared? You got to be kidding, Anne. I won't get scared with you protecting me," Zachary said, waving his hand dismissively. He knew this would be his first official date with Anne, so he would never miss such an excellent opportunity. He was now only one step away from sleeping with Anne, so he wanted to grab the chance.

"Let's get going." Anne regained her composure and walked straight ahead.

Zachary followed closely behind as they made their way to Fairy Island.

As soon as they reached the island, Zachary observed that the place had already returned to its original vibrant state since earlier it was full of powdery snow and thin ice. With the twittering birds, the lush forest, and fragrant flowers, the island was as beautiful as a fairyland.

"By the way, Tania mentioned that when she left Fairy Island last time, it just became unmanageable. Fortunately, you brought Fairy Island back under control, or its problems would have been even more significant. So, I think Tania's perception of you would have improved as well. Although I don't know what is on her mind, from my understanding of her, as long as you can successfully pass her trials, she will welcome you as her disciple," Anne, who hardly ever spoke, suddenly said spontaneously en route on the island.

"Really? That is excellent news! However, I haven't passed the second trial yet!" Zachary said with a sullen look.

"There is no need to worry about that. From what she disclosed, you could pass the second trial as long as you catch the third elite treasure beast," Anne said assertively.

"Just catch the third one, and that's it? As specified in the original goal, I had to catch at least five or six treasure beasts," Zachary said, raising an eyebrow.

"It was originall

ause of the injury on her back, she wobbled when she landed. Fortunately, he was there to support her.

"Anne, are you okay?" Staring at the alarming bloodstain on her back, Zachary's eyes narrowed. He knew Anne wouldn't have gotten injured if she didn't try to save him. He felt touched yet uneasy because he was not the kind of man who needed protection from women.

"I'm okay. How about you? Are you hurt?" Anne shook her head and looked at Zachary with grave concern.

"No, but it's so powerful that it could even hurt you," Zachary said at once.

"It is considered legendary, and it is Fairy Island's guardian beast," Anne replied.

"A legendary beast?" Zachary's eyes widened in shock. No wonder that Anne was also at a disadvantage. "But why did the bee suddenly go berserk?"

"I don't know. Everything was all right before. Unfortunately, I couldn't hurt it, so I had no choice but to stay away from its path," Anne said with a scowl.

"Why can't you hurt it?" Zachary asked.

"Because it is the beast guarding this island. If I inflict harm on it, Tania will be displeased," Anne replied.

"Birds of the same feather indeed flock together. The Giant Spiritual Bee is as bad-tempered as Tania!" Zachary said promptly, thinking that he was right.

"Who is bad-tempered?" A sweet voice suddenly came from not far away.

Zachary and Anne looked to the direction where the voice came. They saw Tania flying down and landing right in front of them with glaring eyes.

"Tania, you came just in time. Your guardian beast just bullied Anne here," Zachary complained, feeling bitter with what happened to Anne.
