"Alyssa, what are you doing here?" Some of the princes came forward with puzzled looks on their faces. They rushed to Alyssa's side, then turned their curious gazes toward her. Geoffrey asked first.
"The spiritual treasure is buried inside this mountain," she declared as she pointed to the flame mountain behind her.
When the six treasure hunting teams heard this, they were taken aback. They had been searching for the spiritual treasure tirelessly, so it was a surprise that they came upon it entirely by accident. Despite finding the hiding place of the treasure, they still weren't happy because the six treasure hunting teams had all gathered here. It meant that they were back into the starting line.
Therefore, the princes started furiously thinking of what they should do. They wondered if they should summon their team members now, so they could rush in and grab the spiritual treasure first.
"However, you can't get the spiritual treasure alone. There is a powerful guardian beast inside. No team can deal with it alone..." Alyssa had seen through the princes' minds at once, so she immediately dispelled their thoughts of monopolizing the treasure.
The princes looked at each other with disappointment.
"Hey, bastard..." At this time, Queenie's sharp eyes noticed that Rocky and Ken were standing a hundred meters away from them.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw that Rocky was also there. They, too, were surprised because none of them noticed him arrive.
"Sister, why is Mr. Rookie here?" Woods asked immediately.
"He is the first one to find the place where the spiritual treasure is," Alyssa answered straightforwardly.
Her words surprised everyone present. They didn't expect that Rocky would find the spiritual treasure faster than Alyssa and the six treasure hunting teams. Moreover, he went deep into the dangerous area alone. It was simply unimaginable!
They were far from impressed, however, since all the princes knew that the final result of this mission depended on the performance of the six treasure hunting teams. Rocky, who was the first one to find the spiritual treasure, would give Woods' treasure hunting team more points. What's more, Alyssa herself had declared that he was the first one to find the place, and no one dared to question it.
Therefore, Geoffrey and other princes could only glare at Rocky in jealousy and anger. To them, it felt like he was always taking the limelight away from them, at the most critical moments, and he continually put them into disadvantageous positions.
"Well, don't just stand there. It's very dangerous here. Everyone, go inside first. Take out all the ropes..." Alyssa then asked the six treasure hunting teams to take out all the ropes and make rope ladders. With the help of flying spirit-manipulated beasts, the six treasure hunting teams entered the flame mountain swiftly.
Under her command, the team of nearly a hundred people entered the mountain in just half an hour. They then adjusted themselves on the spot to recuperate.
