Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 640

Darren unleashed both his spiritual sense and Spirit Power to probe the location where the heart-wrenching howls came. No matter how hard he tried, though, to his disappointment, it was as if all of the men there were dead.

"Heal yourself first, then tell me what happened."

Darren took out some magic herbs and healing pills, and then asked the man to take them.

After waiting there for a few hours, the young man willingly swallowed the magic herbs and pills, and the wounds in his body and face gradually healed.

"Thank you so much!" The instant he felt a little relieved and at ease, the young man cupped his fist and showed his gratitude to Darren.

"You're welcome. Who hurt you?" asked Darren at once.

"I don't know what type of creature it is, but it's so powerful. I just feel like something flashed by, and then, the next thing I know, I was seriously injured. Worst was the one who had stepped into the Life Forbidden Zone before me was dead, and his head had fallen directly on the ground," the young man said with fear.

"By the way, my name is Hobson Qi. What's your name?" asked the young man. He would like to know the name of the one who saved him from grave danger.

"My name is Darren."

By this time, Darren had showed his real face. There was no need for him to hide his identity anymore.

"Nice to meet you, Darren!" Hobson Qi nodded his head in acknowledging Darren and thanking him at the same time.

"Darren, we'd better stay here first!" suggested Hobson. In his mind ran the thought that their oppressors were lurking somewhere, waiting for them to show themselves as prey. Thus he made such a suggestion to Darren.

After considering for a while, Darren nodded slightly and said, "But once we come in here, there is no way out. So, staying here is not a long-term solution."

"I know another way out. Right now, we're on the periphery of the restriction array. Once we find our way towards the center of the array and break it, the elders outside will come in. Then we'll be safe with them," Hobson explained. His hopes were a bit lifted now that Darren was with him. At the very least, he could have someone to rely upon, rather than alone and vulnerable.

Unknown to Darren, Hobson was among the first batch to come to the place. He was ordered to break the center of the array so that the elders waiting outside could enter.

"Where is the center of the array? Why didn't the person who came in first destroy it?" Darren asked in between furrowed brows. Being caught and trapped in a situation like this, he had lots of questions in his mind waiting for concise answers.

"I have a map. It shows the position of the center of the array detected by an expert rule cultivator in the Divine Mountain Sect. The old man sold it to four sects at the same time and earned a lot," Hobson said, took out the map, and handed it to Darren.

"Let's go and find it," Darren voiced out after studying the map for quite a while.

In his determination to vamoose from the place as soon as possible, Darren didn't dare to act rashly. He knew very well that the elders from all sects were mighty, thus if they could come in, that would be a relief for both of them.

At this time, Darren was not afraid of the three elders who had previously attempted to kill him, because they only recognized Lewis' appearance. They didn't know Darren. So, he was confident that as long as he avoided using the blade and sword intents, he would not be detected.

"Well, come with me, Darren," offered Hobson, who led the way for Darren. Though he was a bit unstable, the healing pills and magic herbs had done a great job in enabling him to stand on his feet.

As they made their way through, Darren and Hobson walked along the edge of the restriction array.

Logically speaking, several people had entered this place before, and they should have the map in their hands, but why didn't they go and destroy the center of the array?

Obviously, they didn't want those powerful elders to get involved, and they just wanted to look for treasures and seize the opportunities first.

However, it was a dangerous place here, so the people who acted rashly might be dead by now.

After searching for a long time and making the map as their guide, Darren and Hobson found the center of the array.

What welcomed their eyes, however, was the huge skull, and purple flames that were burning inside.

"If I break this skull, then, can the restriction be removed?" Darren asked Hobson while his eyes were fixed at the gigantic skull.

"I don't know. Let's have a try."

After saying that, Hobson raised his hand and tried to hit the grotesque effigy.

Bang!

After the colossal blow, the Fringe Holy Will exploded on the skull, and a purple aura burst out.

"Get back!"

Subconsciously, Darren pulled Hobson to deviate him from the purple mist. At the sight of it, Darren had the impression as well as the assumption that something vile was behind the mist.

Even so, Hobson's toes, while he was scampering away, accidentally touched the mist and was directly peeled off by the purple mist.

If Darren did not pull him abruptly, he should have been cut in half. Luckily for him, Darren's reflexes were exceptional and caught him just in the nick of time.

"It's so horrible! Thank you so much for saving my life!" Hobson said while trembling in fear. Twice in a row, Darren had snatched him out of the hands of death. With that, he was extremely grateful and indebted to Darren.

"You're welcome. We can't force to break this skull. We have to think of other ways," Darren said, calmly. With his brows drawn in a tight furrow, he searched the back of his mind on how he would handle the skull effigy.
