Hearing that, Darren decided to accompany the disciples to the Fire Cave. Then he asked, "Where is the Fire Cave? Do you know anything else about it?"
"The Fire Cave is within the demonic monster domain. It is said that the ancients left a large number of treasures in the cave. It opens every few decades and every time it opens, super masters and superior talents flock there. Besides, I heard that it is not only the masters from the southern land who explore the cave, but masters from the other areas also hunt for treasures in the Fire Cave," said Hayes Su, the young head of the group of Lotus Holy Land disciples.
The demonic monster domain was a dangerous place, but it was full of opportunities.
It was shrouded in mist all year round, and within the domain, numerous hazardous places like morass existed. Besides, the demonic monster domain was filled with strong creatures, who presented the biggest challenge to treasure hunters. Some demonic monsters were so powerful that even the Holy Lords, who were in charge of the Holy Lands, didn't dare to mess with them. But it was a paradise for adventurers. The demonic monster domain was isolated and so rarely explored that it had rich spiritual energy. These special conditions also nourished numerous useful herbs and treasures. The Holy Lords and the Elders of the Holy Lands also sought opportunities to search the cave for valuable items.
Darren had been to the demonic monster domain once before. However, he had no time to explore more areas except for the very outer range.
"When will we leave?" Darren asked. He was tempted by the stories he had heard from the young disciples.
The cave beckoned to Darren not just because of the treasures; he was excited about battling demonic monsters as that would help upgrade his talent degree. After the upgrade, he would be able to comprehend the legendary martial skill, Nine Changes of the Demon, more thoroughly and improve his strength.
"We have to use the transmission array to travel to the demonic monster domain. Darren, would you talk to Colin? He will listen to you since you are a supreme disciple," Hayes said.
"Yeah! You're the most suitable person, Darren. If we tell Colin that we want to use the transmission array to reach the demonic monster domain, he will scold us and throw us out. Only you can persuade him," another disciple added.
Darren smiled. He realized why they had waited for him for so long. It was because they needed him to persuade Colin to let them use the transmission array.
"Okay, I'll sort that out," Darren replied.
Upon hearing that Darren had agreed to speak with Colin about using the transmission array, excitement showed on the disciples' faces. They had dreamed of entering the demonic monster domain and searching for treasures for a long time. The disciples knew that they would be rich even if all they found were several spiritual herbs.
After hearing Darren's reassurance, the disciples dispersed. They were enthusiastic about making preparations for their upcoming adventure.
...
Darren returned to his residence and told Elsa about the demonic monster domain. With a big grin, Elsa asked to join Darren and his team, and he didn't refuse her request.
Then, Darren visited Colin to request permission to use the transmission array to travel to the demonic monster domain.
At first, Colin opposed him because he was afraid that they would encounter grave danger in the demonic monster domain. Eventually, under Darren's persistence, Colin agreed.
The next day at noon, Darren sent a message to the other disciples to assemble near the transmission array.
"Darren, you need to be careful after you enter the demonic monster domain. You guys can handle the level one or level two demonic monsters. But when you meet the level three or level four demonic monsters, you have to run as quickly as possible. Do you understand?" Colin, who had been waiting beside the transmission array, reminded them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. We will be careful," Darren promised.
Then, Darren, Elsa, Bruce, and four accompanying disciples stepped onto the transmission array. As soon as Colin commanded the array to open, they disappeared.
"Swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, they reached the demonic monster domain. Their eyes widened with surprise when they saw the scene before them.
The spot where they stood was not the place where Darren had been transmitted to previously. They were in a valley in the demonic monster domain. Since the valley was shrouded in a light purple mist, they couldn't see beyond one hundred feet.
Roars of beasts echoed continuously in the valley. Since they couldn't see very well, the disciples felt a little nervous by the noises they heard.
"Crap. We thought about how we were going to reach here. We didn't think about how we're going to return!" one of the disciples shouted suddenly.
