Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Seeing this, Linda couldn't help but wonder if Zachary had a death wish. Yes, she had wanted to see him suffer and to frighten him in an attempt to get him off his high horse. That was why she had deliberately told him about the Fighting Crane. However, she had not expected Zachary to remain where he was once he saw the Godly Phoenix. Instead, he threatened its offspring, which was the equivalent of committing suicide.

After all, the Godly Phoenix was a very powerful beast. Moreover, it was considered Crane College's guardian beast and was respected by everyone in the college. No one in Crane College dared to provoke it, let alone threaten its offspring.

Now that Zachary was in actual danger, she regretted her impulsive decision. Linda rushed up without too much thought, intending to take him away from here.

She didn't realize that Zachary was waiting for this opportunity.

As the Godly Phoenix approached with its outstretched claws, Zachary used the Shadow Pace to avoid them. Then he shot out the Heavenly Silk Thread to entangle the claws. At the same time, the phoenix rose into the air, instantly bringing him up with it as well, as if it had caught him.

By the time Linda made it to the nest, the Godly Phoenix had already flown away with Zachary.

Biting her lips, Linda worried about what would happen if the Godly Phoenix dropped him from such a distance. If Zachary got in trouble because of her, she would not only feel guilty but she'd have also brought unavoidable disaster to Crane College. After all, he was an excellent warrior representing the Devil Kingdom in the Imperial Level Warrior Contest. If something happened to him, Crane College would be responsible.

Linda knew she couldn't let that happen. She had to go to Alisa. Since she couldn't fly and had no bird-like treasure beasts, she had no way to catch up with the Godly Phoenix. Therefore, she needed to borrow Coco from Alisa to

uldn't believe Zachary that easily.

"Have other beast tamers from Crane College dared to come to you to ask about its whereabouts?" Zachary asked.

"No, no one would dare offend me even if they wanted to!" the Godly Phoenix said proudly.

"That's right. With my limited strength, I dared to do so, which should be enough to prove my sincerity," Zachary continued.

"There's no telling if you are self-righteous, bold as brass, or think you can easily fool me with just a few words," the Godly Phoenix replied shrewdly.

"What can I do to show my sincerity?" Zachary asked.

"Jump off my back. If you want to know the whereabouts of the Fighting Crane, you must risk your life," the Godly Phoenix suggested after glancing back at Zachary.

"That's all?" Zachary smiled. He knew that the Godly Phoenix was deliberately testing his courage. If he didn't have the courage, then he wouldn't be able to find the Fighting Crane.

"Yes, it's that simple, but it depends on whether you dare to do it. You are an Imperial Level warrior without the ability to fly. If you jump down, you will most likely die," the Godly Phoenix said firmly.

Zachary and the Godly Phoenix looked at each other. Without even blinking his eyes, he jumped off of its back and plunged to the ground.
