Chapter 1766 The Walls Have Ears
Levant gave him a look. “The walls have ears.”
Are there even walls here? Uh… There aren’t any walls here, but the trees might have people on them.
“Stay guard here. I’m going to ask about the antidote.”
“You?”
Davin then turned side to side to look at the gigantic space. He was actually afraid that some expert fighters would pop out of nowhere, for he was surely no match for someone like that.
Furthermore, he was poisoned. He did not know when he would suddenly collapse.
“What’s the matter? You want to go instead?” Levant questioned.
Davin contemplated for a second and responded, “Can I?”
At that, Levant looked at him from head to toe. The man in front of him was the talented second son of the Seet family. Perhaps he would be able to accomplish that, so there was no harm in him trying it.
“Okay, go ahead and give it a go.”
“Okay, I’ll look for them right away.”
As he watched Davin go up the top of Daemonic Mount, Levant sighed in relief.
If Evan were the one guarding the mountain with him, the two of them would be able to figure everything out at Daemonic Mount with their wits.
However, Evan and Nicole had gone to the town. No one knew when they would be back.
If they realize that I’m guarding the mountain, would they come for me? They will. Evan’s an intelligent man. He’ll come.
In the meantime, Davin reached the entrance of one of the caves on Daemonic Mount. He was still outside, but he could already hear the commotion inside the cave. It seemed like they were fighting about something.
Therefore, he tiptoed to the other side of the cave and began eavesdropping.
“Be at ease. We don’t even know where the treasure is on Daemonic Mount, let alone them. Even if they really let anyone up this mountain, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to find the treasure.”
“That’s right. I even checked all the caves at the top of the mountain the day before yesterday, but I don’t see any treasure in them.”
“Us not knowing anything doesn’t mean that others don’t too. I heard that someone had a treasure map in hand. Maybe the ones going up the mountain have already studied the map well enough to pinpoint its location.”
The few of them then exchanged glances.
“In that case, we’ll have to stay on guard.”
“Yes, if we really find someone who’s extremely talented at treasure hunting, we’ll have to inform our higher-ups right away. Otherwise, we might lose our lives.”
“I’ve also heard about how opening the treasure requires not only the special key but also Girin Blood?” At that, another person responded, “That’s right! That’s why it’s not that easy to get the treasure. Quest is a nimble child, and there’s only one of them in this world. Finding Quest would be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.”
“That’s why no ordinary person will be able to find the treasure. Those who come to Daemonic Mount are all greedy people who are trying to bite off more than they can chew—rats that are trying to swallow an elephant whole!”
Girin Blood? Only one Quest in this world?
Davin’s forehead creased.
It seems like it’ll be no easy feat to get the treasure. Yes, I have to tell Evan and Juan about this. We have to leave after getting the antidote. It’s best if we avoid this complicated mess.
At that moment, Davin accidentally loosened one of the rocks on the wall, and the sound of it falling to the ground caught the attention of those inside the cave.
“Who’s there?”
Fear fluttered in Davin’s stomach. He did not know what those people were going to do if they found out that he had overheard their conversation.
However, it seemed like it was too late for him to hide.
Thus, he replied, “It’s me.”
The people in the cave warily shuffled outward. They all stood transfixed when they realized it was Davin.
“What are you doing here?”
“Why are you here instead of guarding the mountain?”
Davin smiled at them. “I heard that you’ll poison the people who insist on going up this mountain, so I wanted to know if you can give us some of that.”
They were surprised by his words. “You want the poison?”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. Can you give me some of the poison and some of the antidotes?”
Feeling that the whole situation was becoming weirder, they asked, “You want the antidote as well?”
“That’s right. We’re going to poison the intruder. If we poisoned the wrong person, or if we think that they’ve turned over a new leaf and doesn’t want to go up the mountain anymore, it’s all right to give them the antidote, right?”
