The Medallion

"You..." When she saw the joking expression on Rocky's face, Gloria was rendered speechless. Her words had come out because of anger. She didn't really mean them. It just made her pissed off to see Rocky taking advantage of the situation and teasing her.

Both Valeria and Purple chuckled in response.

"Now that the lair is full of beasts and they are chasing us, it will be a lot harder to get out," Valeria said in a serious voice, ending the playful mood.

"I'm not worried about the beasts. It's the Nether Dragon King that scares me. We've disturbed it, and now, it might not stop chasing after us," Rocky said as he frowned slightly.

"Or it could have returned to its lair," Gloria guessed, hoping for the best.

"I hope so," Rocky said. The truth was, he was strong enough to fight against the Nether Dragon King, but he did not want to expose his true strength yet. He would have to hold back and continue keeping a low profile for a while longer.

After a day of being pursued by many beasts, Rocky and the others reached the vicinity of the entrance. As they were preparing to go outside, something suddenly flashed in Valeria's pocket.

She took out the flashing object and observed it. It was a jade rune that was made from a special material. Blood red light was shining from it.

"Damn it! Something must have happened to the guard team!" Valeria exclaimed as the red light reflected in her wide eyes.

The jade rune in her hand was called the Alarming Rune, and its purpose was to convey dangerous information. Usually, two Alarming Runes were matched and each one was given to a different person. If one of them was broken, the other would sense it and send out a warning signal.

Just before they had entered the Nether Dragon King's lair, Valeria had given an Alarming Rune to one of the Spiritual Emperors from the Flower Fief. That way, she would know if they got attacked.

And now that the Alarming Rune was sending out a signal, it meant that the joint guard team must be in trouble.
