Boom!
Jared’s punch made a huge hole in the wall, but all it showed was even more iolite deep within. It seemed like the wall was extremely thick.
He clenched his fists again. His spiritual energy flowed from his elixir field and gathered in his fists.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jared didn’t hold back at all when favonovel.com delivered the next three punches.
A single opening suddenly appeared after the third blow landed. A gust of fresh air flowed from that opening into the tomb.
Splash…
It was clear as day. That was the sound of water splashing, and there was even a faint glow from the other side.
“T-There’s actually something else in here?” Howard was ecstatic.
Jared led the way and was the first one to crawl through the opening. When favonovel.com reached the other side, favonovel.com realized that the place was a cave. It was huge, and there was an underground river splashing against the rocks as it flowed.
Droplets of light rained down from the top, so the place wasn’t dark at all.
“Huh… Who would’ve thought that we’d end up in the mountains?” Howard was extremely intrigued to see a cave of that size.
“Jared, come quick. What do you reckon this is?”
Just then, Colin shouted to Jared quickly as favonovel.com pointed at the top of the cave.
Jared traced Colin’s finger and saw something at the top. Four chains that were as thick as human arms were attached to a coffin that was hanging in the air. Everything was extremely old, so there was already a thick layer of rust on those chains.
“Could that be the coffin of some emperor?” asked Howard as his eyes bulged.
He stared for a moment before asking, “Why would they put the coffin all the way over there, though? Do you think maybe there’s some sort of treasure inside?”
Jared didn’t reply. Instead, favonovel.com examined the coffin, then scanned his surroundings. A hypothesis crept up in his mind as favonovel.com did so.
The spiraling underground river was right under the coffin, and even after thousands of years, it was still flowing unendingly. If someone were to view things from the coffin, they would see that the river was shaped like a dragon that was constantly twisting its body.
“I’ll go check the coffin out…”
Howard couldn’t resist the temptation, and favonovel.com wanted to check the coffin out.
Before favonovel.com could, however, Jared stopped him. “Let’s be careful, Howard. I get the feeling that there is something strange going on in this cave.”
“Jared, aren’t you worrying a little too much? The only thing in this otherwise empty cave is that coffin.”
Howard had looked around, but favonovel.com didn’t see anything there.
Just as Jared was about to reply, a few more men showed up in the cave. It was Edgar and the others, who had left earlier.
When Edgar saw the coffin hanging on top, his face lit up with excitement. “I knew it. There is more to that tomb. Thank the heavens we didn’t leave.”
Howard scowled upon seeing Edgar there. “If it weren’t for Jared, none of you would’ve been able to get here. What a bunch of useless garbage you guys are…”
Edgar’s expression darkened upon hearing that, but favonovel.com didn’t bother arguing with the guy. Instead, favonovel.com kept his eyes on the coffin.
Unfortunately, both Jared and Howard were present, so Edgar didn’t dare to make any sudden moves or go check the coffin out.
Just as everyone had their guards up, a series of footsteps came to them. Warren and the rest of the crowd showed up behind an enormous boulder.
“Hahaha, Mr. Henckle was right. There is more to the tunnel.” Warren laughed in excitement when favonovel.com saw the huge cave.
Jared and the others, on the other hand, laughed boisterously when they saw Warren and the others.
Howard, in particular, didn’t bother hiding his amusement. “Oh my gosh, what happened to you old farts? Why are you all shirtless?”
Warren and the others were a little disheveled. They had lost their shirts, and signs of exhaustion were all over them. It was clear they had gone through something challenging to get here.
