NOVEL NEXT Chapter 8: 004.1
Rod held the two pieces of flint in his hands and wondered, What exactly is their special use?
Clack!
He struck the two pieces of flint together, producing a faint spark.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, the black dog, the same size as a child, appeared before Rod out of thin air.
Rod's eyes widened in surprise.
'Isn't this the guardian from behind the bronze door?'
Even more astonishing, its injuries had completely vanished.
The black dog looked up at him with a docile expression. Stroking his chin thoughtfully, Rod mused aloud, "So, striking these flints can summon the guardians of the vaults—and they become your loyal servants."
'One strike summoned the black dog. What about two strikes?'
Rod rubbed the flintstones together twice.
A white dog, as large as a tiger, materialized right in front of him.
"Once for the bronze vault's guardian, twice for the silver vault's... The third time should summon the guardian from the gold vault."
What if he struck them four times in succession?
Rod gave the flintstones another rub, and all three vault guardians appeared at once. Each carried a pile of treasure on their backs.
"No wonder that old hag wanted these flints so badly."
Though he didn't know who had originally built the vaults, their value easily exceeded billions of gold coins. Even living like an emperor every day, this wealth would last several lifetimes.
With these flints, he could continually plunder the treasures from the vaults.
Rod grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket.
With the flints in hand, he walked to the entrance of the tree hole and looked up at the dark opening.
"I found the flintstones!"
"Great! I'll pull you up!"
The old woman's excited voice echoed from above, and a rope was promptly thrown down.
Rod grabbed the rope and swiftly climbed out of the hole.
"Mighty warrior, thank you for your help! Quickly, give me the flintstones I lost!"
The moment Rod emerged from the hole, the old woman rushed over eagerly.
"I did find the flintstones... but why should I give them to you?"
Rod pulled the two flintstones from his pocket, smiling pleasantly at the old woman.
The joy on her face quickly turned into a dark scowl.
"Brave warrior, don't joke with an old woman!"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Realizing Rod had no intention of handing over the flints, the old woman dropped all pretense.
"You greedy fool! Death shall be your final destination!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, the vines surrounding them sprang to life, writhing toward Rod like serpents. The once gentle vines transformed into venomous snakes, their sharp fangs gleaming with a sickly green light.
"A witch, of course."
The bizarre turn of events didn't faze Rod in the slightest.
With a single gesture, he raised his hand.
A searing light, as brilliant as the sun, erupted forth, engulfing everything in its path.
The witch was consumed in the radiant flames, reduced to ash in mere moments.
"How could mere human strength ever hope to stand beside the sun?"
