Chapter 1264

The crown prince's eyes widened in amazement.

"Holy cow! To think that you could make such an analysis! Seems like I'm gonna have to stick close to
you when we go into the mountains later!"

Silas looked shocked and excited as well.

All of a sudden, he found it a great decision to get Matthew here.

Compared to the others, this man was much more professional.

Matthew darted a look at the crown prince.

"I'd say you better stay out of this.This is not funny!"

The crown prince dismissed his warning, though.

"Worry not! My uncle has arranged for me a bunch of even mightier bodyguards this time.There's no
way you could beat them."

Matthew was instantly left speechless.

Indeed, there’s no way I could compare myself with him in terms of resources.

"By the way, you've got to keep your eyes peeled after going into the mountains.This guy said the word
"dragon" before his death, so I suspect that the guardian beast might be a venomous snake, which is
good at making surprise attacks.There might be danger lurking in the dark, so you must be careful" he
said.



The next day, everyone packed up and set out for the mountains after breakfast, accompanied by
about a dozen herb growers from the village.

A barely noticeable flicker flashed across Matthew's eyes when he saw how lightly-armed these herb
growers were.He knew that Silas and his men didn't tell them the truth, but he didn't point it out.

These herb growers had their own plans, but so did Matthew.

Shortly after Matthew and the others went into the mountains, several cars drove near the village.

Sitting in one of the cars were none other than Robert and the others.

Lord Voodoo was in the car, too, but he now looked like an old man in his seventies with silvery hair.

Sitting next to Lord Voodoo was the tubby Hunter, who had fully recovered from his injuries thanks to
Lord Voodoo personally treating him for his injuries.

Members of the voodoo clan were experts not only in using poisons but also in using medicine.

Robert said between clenched teeth, "I've checked it out.Ambrose has gone to Eastcliff, so Matthew is
going into the mountains alone.The crown prince is tagging along with him, but the bodyguards around
him can't be put in the same class as Ambrose in terms of fighting skills.As long as we go into the
mountains, we'll surely find the opportunity to kill him!"

Lord Voodoo slowly nodded before getting out of the car with a cold gleam in his eyes.

He uttered between clenched teeth, "He got away in Woodside last time.This time, I'm gonna f*cking
kill him!"

He had truly suffered a great deal at the hands of Matthew; he was even forced to bite off part of the
Immortal Charm.



Because of that, he hated Matthew's guts.

On the other hand, Hunter got out of the car and went into the mountains right away without saying a
word.He had been holding a grudge against Matthew after all his disciples died in Woodside.

Matthew and the others walked in the mountain forest for three days, but they had yet to reach their
destination.

Exasperated, the crown prince asked, "Hey, Silas, how much longer does it take to get there?"

Matthew replied softly, "We're getting there very soon."

Silas shot a look at Matthew in surprise.

Just as Matthew had said, they were indeed approaching their destination, but how did Matthew know
that? The crown prince was surprised.

"How do you know that?"

Matthew replied, "Don't you feel that it's getting hotter?"

The crown prince shook out his clothes.

"Now that you mention it, it's really a little hot here.But what does this have to do with it?"

Matthew explained helplessly, "The Seven-Leafed Lotus usually grows on volcanic rocks.And besides,
the environment surrounding it has to be particularly hot.I guess we're probably near the mouth of a
volcano."

The crown prince had a look of realization on his face.



"Oh, I see! Hey, Silas, are we almost there?"

Silas nodded before pointing at a high mountain in the distance.

"There it is."

Delighted, everyone hurriedly rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, a group of people came out of the
mountain forest, saying, "This place has been sealed off! No one's allowed in!"
