In a daze, Spencer, Tillman, Lilian, Claire, and the other women all got comfortable against a tree branch and soon drifted. off to sleep
After all, their efforts to break through the enchantment earlier had consumed much of their core energy, leaving them. drained
They were deep in slumber, resting soundly.
An indeterminate amount of time passed when suddenly, voicesoused Spencer and the others from their dreams.
They jolted awake, instantly alert and on guand.
“Mr. Wade, my men and I have been monitoring this creature for years. It’s been a painstaking task to discover that it only sleeps one day a year, and today is that very day
A middle–aged man’s voice echoed from about 10 yards away in the forest.
Following the sound, Spencer and the group quickly spotted around 20 to 30 people under a towering tree 30 feet away.
The speaker was a tall middle–aged man in black robes with a chilling aura, appearing to be in his 40s.
Standing before him was a man in white.
With his fair, handsome face, sharp, twinkling eyes, and regal demeanor, he seemed like a noble prince from a high realm
Behind this white–clad gentleman were about 20 elder men in black robes.
These elders, all with silver hair cascading down their shoulders, emanated a cold, sharp aura from their piercing eyes.
Then, Spencer and Tillman noticed that several of these robed elders wore golden belts around their waists.
They suddenly remembered that they were gold–belted evildoers of the Eulogian Club,
“Are these people from the Eulogian Club?”
After all, having clashed with members of the Eulogian Club before, Spencer and Tillman were sure that they weren’t
mistaken.
These robed elders were unmistakably the evildoers from the Eulogian Club.
But what could bring these evildoers to such a deserted island?
Thinking of this, their attention shifted to Gilmore, perched on a tree branch.
They realized that he had awakened at some point.
Catching Spencer’s and Tillman’s gaze, he subtly pointed toward the group beneath the tree 30 feet away.
Spencer and Tillman understood his silent message: “Keep an car out for what the Eulogian Club members are discussing”
Spencer and Tillman then turned their attention to the members of the Eulogian Club.
It was quite a stroke of luck. Even though they were only 30 feet away from these people, the tree they were on was tall and thick with foliage.
So, from below, it was nearly impossible to spot anyone atop the dense canopy.

But from above, through gaps in the branches, they had a bird’s eye view and could see everything on the ground clearly
bird’s–eye
And given their discreet distance, the group below remained oblivious to Spencer and the others.
“How much longer before we can enter Dragon Canyon?” the min in white inquired, directing his gaze at the elder in the black robe.
The black–robed elder replied, “Mr. Wade, the beast is currently asleep. We can proceed into the canyon now.”
A gleam appeared in the eyes of the man in white. He ordered the surrounding black–robed figures, “We’ll head into Dragon Canyon immediately, retrieve the item, and make a swift exit.”
“Yes. Mr. Wade, they chorused.
Following that, the group of around 30 people, escorting the white–clad young master, darted toward Dragon Canyon, which lay several hundred feet away.
Watching the group head toward the canyon, Spencer and the others finally snapped back to reality.
He looked at Gilmore, asking. “Mr. Reed, now that they’ve left, what’s our next move?”
Gilmore sufirked. “Follow them, and reap the benefits.”
“You mean, trail these Eulogian Club members into the canyon and… take advantage?” Spencer said, a hint of confusion on
his face.
Lilian and Claire shared the same puzzled look. “What kind of benefits are there to grab in the canyon? Claire wondered. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Gilmore confidently told Spencer, “While the canyon may house terrifying beasts, it also contains priceless treasures.
“Since we’re here, it’s only natural that we bring some treasures back with us.”
No sooner had he said this than he rose from the tree branch and swiftly flew towards the canyon.
Spencer, Tillman, and the six ladies, including Lilian, promptly followed him.
In Dragon Canyon…
The man in white led dozens of black–robed elders. They flew a few miles deep into the canyon until a magnificent palace, built into the sheer cliff, came into view.
This cliffside palace, with its golden tiles that shimmered in the light, was adorned with a grand crimson door embellished with large, gleaming bronze nails.
The palace stretched for about 1,500 feet in length and 300 feet in width.
It looked as majestic and awe–inspiring as if a fairy palace had fallen from the heavens, finding its place on the cliff.
In front of the palace’s grand entrance was a stone staircase, extending from several thousand feet high and descending step by step to the canyon floor.
On the grand doorway of the cliffside palace, a plaque displayed two prominent red wards: “Dragon Hall. The man in white ordered all the black–robed elders. “Let’s ascend!” “Yes, Mr. Wade, they echoed in unison.
As the black–robed figures soared like mighty eagles towards the palace, the man in white did not immediately follow.
Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, watching them with gleaming eyes. He seemed to be waiting for something.
