Chapter 1768

Imprisoned at the bottom, appeared to be a strong, long-haired, ape-like creature…

“…What’s down there, Brother Gerald?” asked Ray in a whispery voice.

Looking at them, Gerald then quietly signaled for them to come over to have a look for themselves.

Seeing that, the other members of Gerald’s party then crept over before peering down as well.

Looking at Old Flint, Gerald then asked, “…Do you have any idea what that is, Old Flint…?”

After seemingly thinking for a while, Old Flint then replied, “…If my eyes do not deceive me, that should be a black

gibbon. I recall a tale about the vampires raising a black gibbon and using it to help them catch humans… Perhaps

this is the one!”

As Gerald’s eyes widened, Ray quickly said, “Then… this black gibbon must be a fierce beast! It’s best that we keep

it locked under the platform!”

True enough, such a vicious black gibbon couldn’t be allowed to run free. Otherwise, it would surely spell trouble!

Unfortunately, Ray had said that a bit too late.

After all, the beast had long broken free of its chains, and it had simply been trapped beneath the round platform

for the longest time. Now that the platform was finally open, however, it naturally wanted to escape.

With that in mind, the second Ray’s sentence ended, an ear-piercing roar could be heard! A split second later, the

black gibbon leaped right out from the bottom of the platform that was at least a few meters high! What superior

jumping capabilities!

Seeing that, Gerald and the others instantly backed away as they vigilantly stared into the eyes of the beast. The

gibbon itself stared back at each of them before beating its chest!

Before anyone could react, the beast bolted right out of the chamber, disappearing from view!

Since it hadn’t attacked them, all of them found themselves feeling slightly confused. Then again, they weren’t

complaining. After all, at the very least, they now had one less problem to worry about…

“…Alright, we need to start looking for the exit. We shouldn’t stay here any longer!” declared Gerald. After all, who

knows what other dangers they would face here.

While it was true that the gibbon and spiders hadn’t chosen to attack them, it didn’t mean that there weren’t any

other threats down here. Gerald himself believed that they shouldn’t push their luck by staying down here for any

longer…

Regardless, after hearing that, Ray, Juno, and Nori readily agreed. After all, they had all been eager to leave this

place for a while now. Old Flint himself simply agreed calmly. After all, being used to such situations, fear was the

last thing on his mind.

Whatever the case was, Gerald and the others then began looking for the exit…

Instead of an exit, however, the party soon bumped into what appeared to be the entrance of another chamber…

Upon entering, they were instantly greeted by the sight of a sandalwood casket decorated with gold trims… The

casket itself was suspended a few meters above the ground by four chains that held onto its corners…

“My god! I never imagined all this to be within a mountain! What a massive place!” exclaimed Ray, his eyes

widened. For Ray, this entire trip had been incredible, and nearly everything that had happened had amazed him…

Old Flint himself slowly walked to the bottom of the casket. After examining it for a while, his voice almost sounded

emotional as he muttered, “This… This must be where the vampires buried their ancestors…! This casket must

have belonged to the first ancestor of the vampires…!”

“What? But that means this casket must have been here for thousands of years!” exclaimed Gerald.
