“My god! You truly are something else, Gerald!” exclaimed Yann in awe. To think that Gerald had been able to remember to steal Tye’s map earlier despite being in such a stressful situation! Regardless, how splendid! Now that Tye and the others didn’t have the map, they’d surely be unable to continue their search! “Whatever the case is, Tye and his men may have come here for the treasure, but we’re different. What we find valuable is different from them. With that in mind, I want both of you to listen carefully to me. Once we get to our destination, you can’t touch or take anything without first asking for my permission! Do I have myself clear?” said Gerald. “Got it, Mr. Crawford!” replied Rey. “But… if we don’t take anything back, then this trip will be a bit of a waste, don’t you think, Mr. Crawford…?” muttered Yann in a slightly reluctant tone. “While I won’t repeat myself, I hope you understand that greed only leads to ruin, Yann,” replied Gerald, prompting Yann to fall si

Hearing that, Yann then chimed in, “Indeed! We’ve already walked for two hours anyway. Let’s take a short rest!” Understanding that the duo didn’t have his stamina and endurance, Gerald could only agree with them. After all, exhaustion during a journey was best avoided… Nodding, Gerald replied, “Sure, why not. Let’s take a short break!” With that, the trio sat by the stream to enjoy a well-deserved rest… While Gerald didn’t do anything in particular, Rey and Yann began washing their faces with the stream’s water and even began drinking it. However, shortly after the duo quenched their thirst, Rey happened to see something stuck at the bottom of the crystal-clear stream… Squinting at the object, his eyes immediately widened when he realized what it was. Startled to hear Rey screaming out of the blue, Gerald was immediately prompted to ask, “What is it?!” “M-Mr. Crawford…! Look there…! It… It’s a human bone…!” replied the quivering Rey as he immediately backed away from the

Chapter 1903

Hearing Gerald’s order, Rey and Yann immediately began bolting away from the scene. Unfortunately for them, their sudden movement only served to make the monster even more excited! Realizing that the monster had its eyes on him, Rey began running even faster as he yelled, “P-please stop chasing after me…!” As expected, all that shouting simply caused the beast to increase its speed as it continued bolting toward Rey! Realizing that the monster was now inches away from Rey, Gerald quickly summoned the Astrabyss Sword before tossing it toward the beast! The second the sword successfully cut through the monster’s flesh, it let out a mighty roar of pain! Following that, it turned to glare at Gerald before charging for him next! Despite how intimidating it was, Gerald kept his cool and resummoned the blade into his hand. Once the monster was only a few steps away from him, Gerald—who had positioned himself to strike by now—bolted toward it as well! Ducking exactly in front

Snapping out of it when he heard the confused elderly man’s question, Gerald then replied, “…Well… we came from the other side of the mountain… Before anything else, could you please tell us where we are and what this monster is…?” “…Ah, I… see… Well, that monster there is called a Taotie… Before you killed it, it lived deep in the mountains and was known for being extremely ferocious!” replied the old man. Upon hearing that, Gerald and his party exchanged glances with each other. As Yann had earlier guessed, the creature turned out to really be a Taotie… “Maybe I misheard, but you said the three of you come from the other side of the mountain…?” added the old man, his tone hinting at his disbelief. As all three of them nodded in response, Gerald replied, “You heard right!” Seeing that those from the crowd immediately began discussing that fact, Rey couldn’t help but raise a slight brow as he asked, “…Is… there a reason why you all sound so shocked…?” Hearing that question,

Upon hearing Rey’s question, Stanton immediately chuckled before replying, “You’ll find out once night comes!” Hearing that, Rey could only shrug in response. Regardless, it wasn’t long before the villagers brought all kinds of food and drinks over to Stanton’s home. After they placed all the goodies in front of Gerald and his party, Stanton smiled before declaring, “Come, have some food! All of you must be famished and exhausted after traveling such a long way!” Before Gerald could even say a word, Rey immediately replied, “Well yeah, I’m starving! Thank you for having us, chief!” By the time Gerald turned to stare helplessly at Rey, Rey was already busy stuffing his mouth with food. After all, the trio hadn’t eaten anything for most of the day, and being a young man, Rey‘s appetite was nothing short of voracious. Still, with how quickly he was eating, Gerald felt that it honestly wasn’t a stretch that his hunger could rival that of a hungry ghost who hadn’t eaten for a cent

Chapter 1906

Contrary to the hustle and bustle of a typical city’s nightlife, the second darkness fell, the entire village went dead silent. Everyone simply remained in their homes and turned their light sources out, not even bothering to go against the norm. They truly were living like people from ancient times… Sometime during the night, Rey couldn’t help but whisper, “…Say… Mr. Crawford…? Do you really think we’ll be able to find the cave…?” “Well, based on the chief’s description, it shouldn’t be too hard to find!” replied Gerald. “I guess… I wonder if Tye and his men have left the cave by this point…” muttered Rey, a hint of worry in his voice. “They probably have. After all, even we were able to locate the exit rather easily!” said Gerald in a calm tone. Gerald, for one, wasn’t worried about Tye at all. So what if they managed to get out? Gerald and his party were pretty much always going to be a step ahead of them anyway. With that in mind, them catching up to the trio was improbab

“Hah! Just so you know, there didn’t even use to be a road on this mountain! This footpath here is the product of us mapping out the mountain for years! This path is considerably easy, you know? Some of the more difficult terrains require us to climb!” scowled Stanton—who was taking the lead—in a joking tone. While the trio appreciated the old man’s light-heartedness, it didn’t change the fact that all this hiking was a challenge for them. Even so, they were well aware that this was the only way they were going to be able to locate that cave… As they said, ‘No pain, no gain…’ Regardless, after about an hour of trekking, the group finally arrived at an area with relatively flat land. Judging from how high up the mountain they were, they were possibly halfway up the mountain as well. With that in mind, looking down at the deep valley—that was now hundreds of feet below them—would make anyone feel giddy… Just as all three of them were trying hard not to think about how high they wer

With that said, Gerald then began giving The Eight Diagrams a closer look… After thinking for a while, he eventually exclaimed, “I think I get it now! The Eight Diagrams isn’t the mechanism at all! From what I’ve gathered, it’s a clue that will lead us to the mechanism instead!” Before the other two could even reply, Gerald was already looking for the mechanism according to the positions of the elements on The Eight Diagrams… “The left and right sides symbolize water, whereas the front and back symbolize fire…” muttered Gerald as he continued keeping an eye out on the mechanism… and eventually, he found it. Thankfully, Gerald had minor knowledge about Feng Shui. Otherwise, they would’ve never been able to find it! Still, Gerald knew he was also considerably lucky that the puzzle to opening the entrance was this simple… Regardless, now that the mechanism was in sight, Gerald quickly twisted it… and moments after he did, the large stone wall began shaking vigorously…! Shortly

Chapter 1909

Atop one of the many piles of treasure, lay a treasure chest… and upon seeing it, Gerald immediately knew that what he was looking for was in there. As he had predicted, it truly was here! Now that it was so close to him, there was no way he was going to be able to hold himself back from obtaining it! With that, Gerald paid little attention to what Rey and Yann were doing and simply walked toward the treasure chest… Watching as seemingly endless amounts of gold coins slid down from the mountain of treasures that Gerald was slowly climbing, Yann couldn’t help but get even more excited. Taking his backpack off, he immediately began filling it with piles upon piles of treasures! After all, he had never seen this many gold coins in a single place before, so he simply couldn’t help himself… While Rey—who had been standing at the side—was equally as excited to see all that gold, he knew better than to do what Yann was doing. After all, Gerald had told him not to touch things at r

Chapter 1910

“…What should we do now, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Rey. Staring straight at Yann, Gerald simply narrowed his eyes before shaking his head. He knew for a fact that Yann was already a lost cause… Greed truly was a frightening thing… Even so, he wanted to try one last time. Glaring at Yann, Gerald’s tone sounded much angrier as he growled, “…One final time. Are you leaving with us, or aren’t you?” “I’m not leaving yet!” roared Yann, instantly causing Gerald’s anger to peak. That was the last straw. Not wanting anything to do with Yann anymore, Gerald then began walking out of the treasure room… However, the second Gerald stepped out, all the candles in the room immediately went out. Following that, the room began glowing in an eerie green light! ‘This isn’t good!’ Gerald thought to himself as he quickly got out of the room—along with Rey—before yelling, “Yann! Get over here! Quick!” Of course, Yann’s fate had been sealed the second he chose to disobey Gerald… Unable to react i
