An Understated Dominance Chapter 1977 –“”Treasure land? What treasure land?!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone became energetic.

They entered the oasis originally to hunt for treasure, but unfortunately, not only have they gained nothing, but they have also lost a lot of lives.

Now that they heard the word treasure land, they were naturally very excited.

“Actually, I plan to explore this treasure land after the division’s reinforcements arrive.” Sophia wanted to speak but stopped, so it was difficult to act.

“Ms. Jaden! Don’t miss this opportunity. If you lose it, it will never come back. By the time the elites from the Harmony Sect arrive, someone might have already conquered that precious land!” Garrett was a little anxious.

He finally got the opportunity to hunt for treasure, so he was not willing to miss it.

“Yes, Ms. Jaden, we are on the same boat now. I think you should tell the truth. We can go treasure hunting together, and then the treasure will be divided equally. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?” The short-haired woman agreed.

“It’s not impossible to tell you, but we have to agree in advance that our Harmony Sect discovered the treasure land. If we find any treasure, our Harmony Sect must take half of it, and you can share the remaining half equally. How about it?” Sophia took advantage of the situation and opened the door.

That treasured land was full of danger. With Harmony Sect’s power, even if they can get the treasure by chance, they will suffer heavy losses.

So she deliberately brought up the topic just now, just to arouse the interest of the people in front of her and find a group of scapegoats to explore the way.

If it can be done, it would be the best. Half of the treasures would be enough for Harmony Sect to develop.

If it fails, she won’t lose anything. It can be said that it is a profit-free transaction.

Hearing this, Garrett suddenly frowned. “What? You want half of it for yourself? Ms. Jaden, is your appetite too big? There are so many of us, and you are just one person. You only need half of it in your mouth. How should we divide it?”

“That’s right! You are a typical lion with a big mouth!” The short-haired woman looked dissatisfied.

Having done nothing and asking for half of the treasure is really greedy.

“Everyone, you can’t say that. Only I know about this treasured land. Normally, I only need to wait a day or two for the people from the master’s sect to arrive, and then I can collect all the treasures inside. For the sake of your rescue, I will tell the truth: our Harmony Sect only needs half of the treasures, which is already very particular.” Sophia said it lightly.

Her meaning was very clear. She could obviously keep all the treasures in her pocket, but now she lets half of them out.

“this……”

Hearing this, the members of the Black Scorpion Squad looked at each other.

Although they were a little dissatisfied, they didn’t know how to refute it.

After all, to find a guarantee, Sophia had to lead the way.

“Ms. Linsor, what do you think?”

Garrett turned his head and threw the problem at Grace.

After all, Grace was the leader of this team. Whether it was Aidan or Jackson, they had to sell some face.

“I came here only for one treasure. I am not interested in the rest. As long as Ms. Jaden lets me choose first, I can give up the remaining treasures.” Grace said calmly.

“No problem!” Sophia agreed.

She could see that Grace had a strong say in this team, and as long as the other party compromised, her plan would go smoothly.

“Mr. Ridge, what about you?”

Garrett turned his head and looked at Aidan.

Grace was the leader of the team, but the strongest person present was Sandscale Aidan Ridge.

The other party’s decision affected the entire situation.

“I am alone and don’t want many treasures. If there is something you like, just pick two, and the rest will be yours.”

Aidan looked carefree on the surface, but in fact, he was very careful.

No one knew what was in the treasure trove. If he can be the first to pick two top-quality treasures, he will undoubtedly have an advantage.

He will absolutely suffer no loss.

“Mr. Ridge, as you agree, others will naturally not refuse.” Sophia nodded again.

As long as Aidan and Grace are taken care of, can the remaining people still be left to their own devices?

“Since Mr. Ridge and Ms. Linsor have agreed, we have no reason to refuse, so let’s do it.” Garrett had no choice but to nod.

Although he was a little reluctant, the Black Scorpion Squad was weak, and he had no right to speak, so he could only follow along.

“Okay! You are all happy people, so we’ve made an agreement!”

Sophia smiled and secretly rejoiced.

They were really easy to deceive, and they could get it done in just a few words.

“Ms. Jaden, without further ado, why don’t you take us to the treasure hiding place as soon as possible? To avoid long nights and lots of dreams.” Garrett urged.

During the day, the oasis was relatively safe.

If it came at night, all kinds of monsters would become extremely active, which was the real danger.

“Everyone, please come with me.”

Sophia didn’t waste time. After taking a pill, she started to lead the way.

The team headed straight for the treasure trove.

Everyone stopped and walked along the way. After walking for about three hours, they finally arrived near their destination.

It was a lake hidden in the dense forest.

The lake was very large, the water was bottomless, and the water was covered with clouds and fog, making it difficult to see clearly at first glance.

It was very quiet around the lake, so quiet that it was eerie.

Looking around, they couldn’t see any living things at all—no insects, fish, birds, or be@sts, just a deathly silence.

At first glance, it looked like a still picture.

Only when the breeze blew would ripples appear on the lake.

“Um?”

The moment Dustin approached the lake, his eyes suddenly began to vibrate slightly and emit a faint light.

Being able to see such an obvious reaction in the eyes was enough to prove that there should be some treasure hidden near the lake.

Maybe the Dracan essences they were looking for were here!
