Chapter 1759
With that, Lech and his teammates retrieved their shovels—along with any relevant equipment—before starting to
dig the earth beneath them.
“You guys keep an eye on things while we dig! Let’s get our well-deserved rest once we make it to the other side!”
said Lech.
Knowing that it wasn’t easy to dig out a passageway and that it would be some time before Lech and his men were
done, Gerald naturally had no objections.
After nodding in agreement, he then returned to his own party to start keeping watch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Gerald had returned, Ray then asked in a slightly worried tone, “…Do you trust these people, Mr.
Crawford…?”
Understanding where Ray was coming from, Gerald then replied, “Don’t worry, I can sense that he’s a righteous
man!”
Upon hearing that, Ray’s worries quickly subsided. After all, he trusted Gerald’s judgment.
“What about you, Old Flint? What do you think about Lech and his men?” asked Gerald as he turned to look at the
old man who was sitting close to them. Throughout their journey, Old Flint had remained strangely quiet…
Regardless, the old man simply replied, “We’ll have more help with an additional team. There’s safety in numbers!”
Hearing that, Gerald then nodded in agreement…
After two hours, a loud sound could be heard coming from where Lech and the others had been digging. Guessing
that Lech and his men had managed to dig out a passageway, Gerald and his party quickly ran toward the sound.
As they had guessed, a giant passageway was now visible for all to see… With how dark it was inside, it was pretty
much impossible to tell what was down there…
Regardless, Gerald and his party were just in time to see Lech ordering his men, “You two! Get in there and scout
ahead! If you find that anything’s amiss, get out immediately!”
“Copy that!” replied the two men as they switched their flashlights on and began walking into the newly formed
passageway…
Reappearing minutes later, the two men then reported, “Everything’s normal inside! We can go through!”
“Excellent! Still, please be careful, everyone! Don’t move around recklessly and always keep a lookout for your
team members!” declared Lech.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Loud and clear!” yelled everyone in response.
“Come, Gerald! Let’s head in together!” said Lech as he looked at Gerald.
Hearing that, Gerald nodded slightly before entering the passageway by Lech’s side, the rest of Gerald’s party
following closely behind them.
Once inside, they soon saw all sorts of colorful paintings on either side of the stone walls. From how primitive they
looked, one could easily guess that these paintings had been here for ages…
“…Can you discern anything from these paintings, Old Flint?” asked Gerald as he curiously turned to look at the old
man.
After looking for a while, Old Flint then replied, “…The pictures describe the history of the vampires’ development in
ancient times! It very clearly describes the start of their species up till their eventual decline! With that in mind, I
can safely say that we’ve made it into the vampires’ territory!”
