Chapter 1675

"What? You... Are you still going up the mountains?" Neil's eyes widened, and he said in awe, "You'refearless!"

"I've made myself very clear." Stefan twisted the towel around his head that was drenched in sweat,and after taking a deep breath, he was about to set off again.

Neil watched as Stefan walked away, feeling guilty. "Hey, wait!"

Stefan stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to be your guide, but I can give you a map." Neil took out a notebook and drew somethingon a page, then tore it off and gave it to Stefan.

"The terrains in Dragos are very complicated. This is a rough map of the village, and I'm guessing thedragon's saliva you want is in the memorial chamber. However, that place is at the highest point of themountain, and it's also in the most complex cave. Our legends say that the ancestral dragon met hisbeloved woman there, and that was also where they built their family. That's how Dragos came along."

"Really?" Stefan was overjoyed and accepted Neil's map excitedly. "So you know that the dragon'ssaliva is in the village's memorial chamber! Why didn't you tell me? I thought I'd have to search for it.This is great! It means I can get the dragon's saliva once I replace the memorial chamber!"

"Don’t get too excited. It's a memorial chamber, so it won't be easy to enter. Its location is verydangerous, and villagers guard it every day.

They'll catch you before you can even get close to it." Neil was not trying to frighten Stefan-it was thetruth. Trespassers had been caught there many times.

"I understand, but I'm not afraid.” Stefan clutched the map tightly. "You're considerate. I'll thank youlater."

The night was getting darker. Stefan bade Neil goodbye halfway up the mountain, then walked alonganother mountain path in the direction of the memorial chamber. He walked so fast that the eight-hourjourney was shortened to only four hours.

It was nearly three o'clock in the morning when he reached the top. He never rested as he hiked up themountain all night. It was a horrible night— he could hear animals crying out, and there were evenghastly wails echoing in the valley. It was very frightening, but thankfully, Stefan arrived at hisdestination safe and sound.

In the dim light, he could see mist engulfing the forests. It was hard to see, but it also made it easier tohide. He hid behind a giant boulder and looked at the entrance of the cave ahead of him. Six peoplewere guarding it, and Stefan guessed that it was the memorial chamber with the dragon's salivamentioned by Neil. He stood there quietly, waiting for a chance to sneak into the memorial chamber.

Suddenly, a crow cawed loudly from the mountains.

"It's the crow's call-time to change shifts." A tall man in a traditional costume walked to the entrance ofthe memorial chamber and informed the six people who were guarding the place.
