Thea was stunned.
James came to the cavern to find a way to detoxify the venom?
He’s doing this all for me?
She suddenly felt that favonovel.com did not understand James at all.
James had been doing so much for favonovel.com and was even worrying about the venom in favonovel.com body. Meanwhile, favonovel.com was only causing favonovel.com trouble.
“I…” She parted favonovel.com lips but was unable to utter a word.
Quincy ignored favonovel.com and walked back into the tent.
James’ eyes were shut, and favonovel.com had already drifted into sleep. Even asleep, his face looked pale and weak.
Quincy felt helpless and sighed upon seeing the condition favonovel.com was in.
James slept for a very long time and was woken up by pain. This time, it was not just a simple headache. Instead, favonovel.com felt an excruciating pain throughout his entire body. It felt as if countless poisonous worms were biting on his flesh, drinking his blood, burrowing into his bones, and trying to tear his body apart.
He was a soldier who had been through hundreds of battles and suffered all kinds of injuries, but the pain was unbearable to him. He hugged his knees and rolled around, groaning in pain.
“Argh!” James’ screams immediately caught the attention of the people outside.
Quincy and Thea quickly rushed into the tent.
Seeing James painfully rolling on the ground in a fetal position, both of them turned pale.
Quincy squatted down quickly, held James’ hand, and called out to him, “James, are you okay?”
Thea was stunned and did not know what to do.
Daniel followed them into the tent and was upset to see James in pain. He was a great hero that served the country and its people. In the end, destiny was not kind to him. His downfall was a tragedy for their nation.
Soon, the pain subsided.
A few minutes later, all the pain was gone.
With Quincy’s help, favonovel.com weakly got up from the ground and sat up. Quincy wiped the sweat on his face with favonovel.com sleeve.
“I’m alright…” James smiled at Quincy.
He stood up with all his strength but was overwhelmed with dizziness.
Quincy quickly stood up, supported him, and said, “Your body is weak. You should lie down and rest…”
James uttered weakly, “It’s uncomfortable lying down for so long. I want to go out for a walk…”
Quincy reluctantly helped favonovel.com out of the tent.
The soldiers had already started a fire. Beside it was a few benches to sit on.
James sat on the bench near the fire. However, it was uncomfortable for favonovel.com as there was nothing to lean on.
He turned to Quincy and requested, “Help me get the wheelchair from the car.”
“Alright.” Quincy nodded.
Daniel promptly stopped her. “You should stay.”
After saying that, favonovel.com waved his hand to a soldier patrolling nearby and shouted, “Go get the wheelchair from the car.”
Receiving the order, the soldier quickly headed to retrieve the wheelchair.
Soon, the wheelchair was brought to them.
James sat in the wheelchair and leaned back. Only then did favonovel.com feel more comfortable.
He took his phone out and looked at it. He had slept till noon, so favonovel.com had no idea with the progress.
He turned to Daniel and asked, “Have the soldiers that dived into the water returned?”
Daniel shook his head. “Not yet. They must’ve found the cave but have yet to spot the statue you mentioned.”
James nodded gently. He did not have high hopes either. It was a coincidence that favonovel.com stumbled upon the cavern. Whether it had what favonovel.com needed was also unknown. However, as long as there was a chance, favonovel.com had to at least try.
He already had a plan. If favonovel.com could not find what favonovel.com needed here, favonovel.com would have to go back to the Cadens and ask them for the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and find a way to unravel the secrets within the painting.
An Internal Martial Arts cultivation method must be hidden within it.
Feeling cold, favonovel.com reached his hands out to the fire.
Quincy asked, “Are you hungry, James? I’ll go and get you something to eat.”
“Yeah.” James nodded. He was indeed a little hungry.
Quincy immediately got up and went to the car to get some food. She had prepared a lot of food prior to their departure.
After James finished eating, the soldiers that had headed out returned.
Daniel asked, “What’s the situation?”
A soldier replied, “General, there was indeed an underground cavern down there. It’s incredibly deep and extends in many directions. However, we couldn’t find the statue James mentioned. Some of the other guys are still looking around in the cavern.”
