Chapter 495: Chapter 362: Try again with a different position_4

Tomorrow will be the day of the second-stage assessment. The family of three had dinner together, which made the mother feel warmth in her heart as her son had finally grown sensible and no longer made her feel embarrassed.

After dinner, Colby Dominic put down his chopsticks and said to Wayne Malvin, "Come to the study with me." Wayne Malvin knew his father had something to say and hurriedly followed him.

"Don’t show off too much tomorrow. Just secure a spot in the third stage. Don’t worry, even if the spirit insect you bring out is of lower grade, Evans Graham wouldn’t dare to disqualify you," said his father.

Wayne Malvin was somewhat curious, "Father, are there any insider secrets?"

Colby Dominic, of course, knew what Andrew Oamond had found out, so he briefly explained it to his son and added, "Evans is getting old and confused. He only cares about money, not his life. The Fifth Prince is not favored by His Majesty, and is destined to have no chance at the throne. Evans siding with the Fifth Prince could mean the end of the Graham family when the new emperor ascends the throne!"

Wayne Malvin was shocked, "I understand."

Exiting his father’s study, Wayne Malvin thought of Owen Bertram. He still had mixed feelings about him. Although he knew Owen saved him for the sake of the benefits his father had offered and they had settled the matter, he still felt... his own life matters more!

"No, this time in Zombie Cave, I must find an opportunity to save him once!"

"I have to get back those treasures from him, especially that Precious Rhinoceros horn, which is very important for my father’s advancement to the Seventh Level."

"I just don’t believe that with my higher realm, superior background, better abilities, and more handsome looks, why should he be the one to save me? I’ll definitely have a chance to save him!"

"Humph!"

This arrogant young master didn’t know that at this very moment, his gang of friends, using the power of the Horizon Bureau, had seized a veteran Insect Hunter’s handle. After a round of torturous interrogation, the Insect Hunter revealed all the secrets about Zombie Cave and helped them design a cunning and ruthless trap.

"We all saw it: young master Malvin’s heart was troubled by the last incident. So, let’s help him get rid of his heartache, give him a chance to save Owen Bertram once, and then his troubles would be cured."

"We’ll even make Owen Bertram grateful to young master Malvin, hahahaha!"

...

Just like during the first-stage assessment, many cultivators were waiting outside the city gate before dawn. As soon as the gate opened, they hurried towards Zombie Cave.

Although Zombie Cave was also an Extinction Domain, it was quite unique as it was located underground. There were three large cave entrances on the surface, like the Sky Pit, and more than thirty small ones. Sometimes, during continuous rain, existing small cave entrances would collapse and be covered, but new ones would appear in other places.

These caves were interconnected below, some large and some small, and no one knew exactly how vast the underground space was. How this peculiar extinction domain was formed remains a mystery to this day.

In history, many Grandmasters in the capital had delved deep into the cave system, but they never reached the bottom of Zombie Cave.

Most of the creatures living here are spirit insects and spirit plants, with fewer beasts and other demon beings. The deeper one went, the higher the level of the demon beings. However, they were all confined to the extinction domain and rarely ventured out.

To ensure the absolute safety of the capital, the Wood Dynasty had sent Grandmasters multiple times to try and eradicate this Extinction Domain completely, but every time they advanced deeper, they returned defeated and with heavy casualties. Over time, the Imperial Court changed its strategy from complete annihilation to regular extermination.

In recent years, this "regular extermination" has continued, but whether or not anyone is truly carrying it out is known only to the heavens.

The Capital Army had stationed a unit of soldiers near Zombie Cave, with a Sixth Great Realm commander. In case a swarm of demon beings emerged from the cave, they could quickly respond and ensure the safety of the capital.
