âWhere is this leading us to?â
âJust how long is the pillar under this platform?â
After quite some time, the platform stopped moving after a loud click.
Using their flashlights to light up the area, they realized they were in a dark and closed space.
Suddenly, the platform started going down as the sounds of gears filled the air again, just like an
automated elevator.
âGet out!â Alex yelled.
Everyone jumped off of the platform immediately and landed on the ground outside. The hole where
the platform rose from to had closed up as well. It looked as if it had never existed in the first place.
âWhere are we?â
âLook, thereâs a coffin right there.â
âThis⦠Why does this look so familiar?â
As the group continued to discuss, Susan suddenly shouted. âI remember now! This is the grave that
we entered last time, the actual grave that held Caesarâs body!â
Alex shook his head. âItâs not the real one. The previous one was. This is probably just a fake to hide
the real ones from the public.â
However, since they were here now, everything became a lot simpler to figure out. With the
experienced tomb raiders, Susan, Zayne, and the others, all of them found their way out in a matter of
minutes. Zayne even went out his way to find the corpse of the Drifter clanâs elder.
It was a shame that they died long ago that their bones were starting to rot as well. There wasnât
anything related to the Drifter Skill Book too.
However, Kenneth and Quincy still managed to take some tomb treasures with them, which indicated
that thieves never left empty-handed.
The treasure that Quincy took was an odd-looking mask. It looked damp and black, made of some
unknown material. It was so ugly that it looked petrifying.
Alex took a few glances at it and said, âThis isnât treasure at all. The Yin energy on this is way too
heavy. Iâd advise you to leave it instead.â
However, Quincy didnât care. âAll tomb treasures have Yin energy one way or another. Itâll be fine once
itâs out in the sun!â
Susan was speechless. âDo you really think the sunlight can help banish thousands of years of Yin
energy? Donât be too greedy. Weâve managed to survive the many obstacles here. Wouldnât it be a
shame if we died just because of your god-forsaken greed?!â
âSusan Hunter! How dare you f*cking curse me? I know what youâre actually thinking of. You want this
mask, donât you? Iâm no fool! Just look at the craft, shape, and age! This is definitely a one of a kind
treasure. Now that I have my hands on it, donât you dare even think of taking it! Hmph!â
Since Quincy was so stubborn, Alex decided not to persuade him further.
Following the map that they had drawn earlier, they managed to find the exit. When their eyes met a
ray of light and a patch of the big blue sky, Susan was so overjoyed that she hugged Alex tightly.
âWeâre out of there! Finally!â
She wasnât the only one who reacted like this, everyone was so overwhelmed that they managed to
exit the grave. The trip down there was extremely perilous. They had barely survived.
Darven died, Kenneth lost an arm, Quincy lost a chunk of flesh⦠And Trevonâs entire corpse was
gobbled up.
Moreover, the blood cult was filled with hope when they went in there, yet none managed to come out.
âGood job! So many of you managed to get out of there!â
âThat means you guys have found the central key to this grave, right?â
As the group walked out of the entrance, they noticed an old man sitting outside. He sat there
arrogantly, staring back at the group with a wide grin on his face. There were ten people or so kneeling
next to him. They were Azure and the other members of Thousand Miles Conglomerate.
