The team continued to move forward.
As Chaplin walked, favonovel.com thought of ways to earn back the money favonovel.com just spent.
He spent a lot of money to find information and hire help to escort favonovel.com into the ancient tomb in the ancient ruins. Although this amount of money was a drop in the bucket, a miser like Chaplin was unwilling to spend a single cent.
“Grab everything that you can see later,” Chaplin anxiously reminded them.
He hired them for another important purpose.
Captain Nico had a storage bag on hand. With this bag, favonovel.com could take many things from the ancient ruins without anyone’s knowledge.
Hearing Chaplin’s request, Nico nodded. His bag was empty except for some medicine and weapons.
His task was to bring things for Chaplin. The things would be split 80-20, which was good enough for Nico.

While they moved ahead at top speed, Philip and his party finally caught up.
Philip calmly glanced at the tunnel and found no danger. The tunnel was free of obstacles and very long. They would waste a lot of time if they were to explore this tunnel carefully.
“Is this tunnel safe?” Aslan was in disbelief as favonovel.com ran with Philip at top speed.
The others were also surprised to find such a safe place in the ancient ruins.
Philip shook his head. He did not say that.
“I merely said it’s safe for now, not forever. In the final five minutes, the tunnel will become dangerous as it gradually becomes narrow until it finally closes up,” Philip said calmly. He had noticed it at a glance.
Aslan looked ahead. At their current speed, they could reach the finish line in five minutes.
They were so fast that the people they passed were left behind in disbelief. They did not expect to see people rushing forward without qualms.
“These people must be crazy to run so fast. Do they think this tunnel is safe?”
“Ignore them. We’ll decide what to do once they reach the finish line. If they don ‘t encounter any danger during this time, we can follow suit!”
“You’re right. We can see the end at a glance, so we’ll know if anything happens!”
Everyone stood at the entrance and looked at Philip and his party expectantly to see if they would be safe.
A few minutes later, Philip led his people out of the tunnel successfully. They stopped at the finish line and sighed helplessly at the onlookers.
“If they had run with us just now, at least half of them would have survived. It’s hard to say now,” Philip lamented.
To be honest, they disappointed him. They had taken the lead to explore the way for them, but these people were still so indecisive. They were simply hopeless.
“Let’s go… Ignore them.” Philip turned around and walked forward.
Aslan and the others waved to the people at the entrance with mocking smiles.
