By the time all three of them got out of the ancient well, it was already late at night and the moon was high in the sky. Gerald then led the two girls back to the dilapidated building. Upon arriving there, they saw that the crowd of people had regrouped again. Ever Professor Yale and the other researchers were there. They had earlier returned to the building once they realized that there was no way they would be able to catch up to Gerald. Aside from the two deaths, the only other person seriously injured was Wynn, and he was also suffering from a high fever. Though the others had made it out fine, all of them were equally feeling uneasy out of fear. Now that Gerald was here, however, all of them could finally rest a bit easier after going through so much today. As the others rested, Gerald himself remained awake. After lighting a bonfire, he kept guard over the others while making sure to toss firewood into the warm flames from time to time. Meredith and Giya, on the othe
“I’ll be taking your silence as approval for me to chase after Xadrian then! I’ll start going after him starting tomorrow!” said Meredith. “…Fine,” replied Giya in a soft tone. Taking in a deep breath, she reminded herself again that Gerald was the person she was in love with. So what if Xadrian looked like him? In the end, he still wasn’t Gerald. If Meredith truly liked Xadrian, then Giya knew she had no right to prevent her from pursuing her own happiness. ‘You can’t be so selfish, Giya!’ Giya thought, attempting to comfort herself. Regardless, neither of the girls slept a wink that night due to how preoccupied they were with their own concerns. Early the next morning, everyone was packing up—preparing to leave—when Meredith walked over to Gerald before saying, “Are you thirsty, Xadrian? I have some water with me if you want!” Hearing that, Gerald’s first response was to take a peek at Giya through the corner of his eyes. Realizing that Giya herself was secretly staring
The bodies didn’t belong to just anyone. The corpses were all his brothers from the Soul Palace! Gerald already had a bad feeling earlier when he saw how familiar the helicopter looked. After finding out that his assumption had been correct, Gerald couldn’t help but feel extremely upset. After all, those from the Soul Palace were essentially also part of the Crawford family! From the looks of it, they must have come to the desert to look for him. Gerald was well aware that the helicopters from the Soul Place had been specially designed to be near impossible to crash. Looking at all the many spots of spilled gasoline that had darkened the sand, however, it was made evident how the culprit had gotten the helicopter to crash in the first place. Still, who could’ve been the murderer? After carefully checking each of the four corpses, he finally found a clue on one of them. This person, in particular, had managed to crawl quite a distance away from the helicopter after it crashe
Gerald had already memorized the map.Therefore, it would not be difficult for Gerald to find the eternal coffin.Gerald had a faint intuition in his heart that there might be a bigger secret hidden with the eternal coffin.This world was not as simple as he thought it was. Gerald felt that everything seemed to be even stranger especially after he had seen those murals.How could he describe it?It seemed as though two hands seemed to be secretly manipulating everything in the dark.It was already very dangerous in the desert, and it would be even more dangerous as he got to the outlands of the desert.Of course, Gerald, who was already a semi-master, did not take some of the beasts that he had encountered so far to heart.As it got closer to the evening, Gerald had already reached the deepest part of the outlands.He reached a place called Ullerwood.It was not yellow sand everywhere now, but instead, it was filled with black sand.Moreover, the wind was very strong here,
“You brat! You are indeed very witty and eloquent, but let’s see how long you can carry on like that! I am going to kill you now!”Christopher’s eyelids twitched slightly before he rushed forward to attack Gerald.Gerald wanted to defend himself and avoid Christopher’s attack, but he was no match for Christopher at all.Gerald was hit directly by Christopher’s punch, and he vomited blood in an instant.“You will not be able to avoid my attacks! Okay, I will give you one last chance. I will spare your life if you tell me the truth now!” Christopher said coldly. “Hahaha! Mr. Moldell, did you honestly think that I am a three-year-old kid you can trick so easily?” Gerald said as he wiped the blood off from the corner of his mouth.“I think that you are really courting your death!”Christopher was furious, and he lifted his palm as he struck a move, and Gerald’s entire body was lifted into the air.After pulling Gerald’s body directly toward himself, Christopher struck him once aga
As he thought about it, Christopher was about to chase after Gerald.Halfway through, he suddenly stopped in his tracks again.Christopher touched his cheek that had been scratched, and he had a terrifying expression on his face at this time.“Young brat, let me give you a word of advice. It would be better for you to come out of the cave obediently now. Otherwise, after you go into this cave, even if your strength increases greatly, you can forget about coming out of this cave alive!” Christopher shouted out loud as he stood at the entrance of the cave.Not long after that, a faint voice came from within the cave saying, “Old man! That would still be better than getting killed by you outside!”Christopher frowned. “Little b*stard! Don’t blame me for not reminding you if you were to die inside!”It would indeed be very dangerous and risky to step into the cave. He was already a great master, and it could be said that he was invincible in this world. However, Christopher could not
There was the sound of the anaconda hissing from behind him at this time.However, Gerald stopped in his tracks.If he were to run out, he would certainly be killed by Christopher.It was no wonder why that old man had seemed to look so haggard earlier. It turned out that there was this behemoth inside this cave.Gerald hurriedly drew out his Lightbane.He was already breaking out in cold sweat, and he was feeling very entangled and confused at this time.There had been no mention of this huge anaconda on the map at all.Gerald swallowed his saliva.However, at this time, Gerald realized that the anaconda did not seem to be malicious.It was simply staring at him, not showing any intentions of attacking at all.In the end, the anaconda slowly lowered its head.Looking at this scene, it felt as though the anaconda was a puppy that was behaving well and obediently when it saw its owner.“You’re not going to kill me?”Gerald asked tentatively as he finally felt some strength
That big tree was known as the sacred tree to the people of this country.This was because the big tree had fallen from the sky.At that time, the people in this country thought that God was sending this heavenly soldier here to invite and bring them up to heaven. However, something had happened along the way, and the mysterious deity and all of the other heavenly soldiers that he had brought here with him had died.The king felt that since this was a request from heaven, he should not lose his etiquette.He felt that he would also have to try to go up and explain what had happened to the deity here.Therefore, the king had sent the best three hundred warriors in the country to start climbing up the sacred tree.However, even after waiting for a long time, the three hundred warriors did not return.The king was not content, and every year thereafter, he would select a new group of warriors to climb the sacred tree.It was only until the eve of the completion of the deity’s buri
