After hearing that sentence, Quincy Zoppins ate the pill.
Alex Rockefeller returned to the edge of the cliff near the passageway and looked around. Since it was
far too deep under the cliff, he couldnât see the bottom either. However, Alex still circled around the half
remaining tower.
There werenât any other passageways.
âThe cliff is so tall. We have no idea whatâs down there. Weâd definitely die if we jump down. Where do
we go?â Kenneth Sunder asked with a frown.
âWest of Caesarâs Tombâ¦â Susan Hunter repeated while looking around the half-remaining tower. After
a while, she suddenly said, âI think I get it.â
âWhat were you thinking of?â
Everyone became excited.
Susan pointed at the place where the eight chains remained. âThis is where Caesarâs coffin was hung.
From what the ghost emperor said, this was the place where he was truly sealed. Hence, this is where
Caesarâs tomb is located. This half remaining tower is his tomb.â
After that, she pointed at the eight chains.
âThese were probably used to hold the coffin in place. The key must be lying within these chains,â she
added.
âDo you mean that there is a hidden mechanism in one of them?â Zayne York asked.
âWeâll find out by trying,â Alex said.
He walked over to the half remaining tower and looked up at the eight chains. The major explosion
earlier had destroyed the coffin, and the eight chains now dangled in the air. The chains were thirty to
forty meters above the ground.
Alex forcefully stomped his feet. A vast, bottomless pit appeared on the ground where his feet landed.
Boom!
His entire body made use of the inertia, and he shot upward. Instantly, he rose over twenty meters
above the ground. He was still over ten meters shy, though.
âLet me give you a hand!â Dorothy Assex gathered spiritual power in one hand and extended it
outward. The shadow figure of her palm ascended upward.
It bumped against Alexâs feet and pushed him further up.
Shuffleâ¦
Alex jumped yet again, and he managed to grab a chain.
He tried to search for a clue, but there wasnât anything. The second chain also didnât work.
The third, the fourthâ¦
Finally, when he tugged at the sixth chain, it creaked and extended itself. There was something fishy
about it.
Alex tugged on it forcefully. The chain extended by one meter. Soon, a mechanical grinding sound
came from beneath the half-remaining tower.
âThereâs a sound!â
âThereâs something down there!â
After Alex landed, he instantly ran to the other side with Susan Hunter. Within a few seconds, the
sound stopped. However, the sound of ten thousand horses galloping could be heard from the
passagewayâs entrance.
Everyone looked over.
They actually saw a huge waterfall ten meters below the cliff. The sounds had come from the waterfall.
âItâs water from the blood river!â Quincy Zoppins was smart enough to instantly guess the reason.
Indeed, water from the blood river was gushing down the cliff with loud splashing. A huge vortex
formed beneath the half-remaining tower. All the water flowed down the cliff beneath the passageway.
âThe water is filling up!â
âItâs filling up rather quickly too!â
After about half an hour, the blood river dried up. Meanwhile, the water level in the seemingly endless
pit by the cliff now was close within sight.
Alex waved his hand. âGet into the water!â
