The Medallion

Three days later, under the guardians' protection, Rocky and his companions finally arrived at the entrance of the Demon Valley.

The guardians had found a safe place to camp, and thus it didn't take long before they were settled.

"Mr. Basil, we will stop here. Once you rendezvous with your other companions, we guards will have to withdraw from this matter," Colton said to Rocky and Marcia once they were settled in the camp.

"Okay, thank you for all your hard work, Commander in Chief Colton. Please forward my thanks to your chief when you get back. Without the help of the Di Clan, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten here so smoothly," Rocky said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Mr. Basil. It's not a big deal. You've done so much more for our clan and the human race as a whole," Colton said with a smile. He looked at Rocky with great admiration.

After exchanging a few more words, Rocky and Marcia then left Colton's tent.

"Do you need me to head into the Demon Valley first to check the route?" Marcia asked Rocky.

"Okay, sounds like a plan." Rocky knew that the second they entered the valley, in order to reach the door on the other side, they had only their strength to rely on. It was better for them to be prepared.

Thus, Marcia left the camp with Sabina and entered the Demon Valley to scout.

Meanwhile, a few miles away from the northwest side of the Demon Valley, a team of hundreds of people was rapidly approaching the entrance of the valley. The leader of this team was Alyssa, who had planned to meet Rocky at the entrance.
