Chapter 1762
“Hot d*mn! To think that there was another palace down here! In fact, this one looks much larger than the previous
one!” exclaimed Ray.
“Please be careful, everyone! And don’t do anything stupid!” warned Gerald, hoping that everyone had learned
their lesson about randomly touching things.
“Copy that! Still, what are those things, Mr. Crawford…? They look so luxurious!” asked Ray as he walked toward
one of the platforms to get a closer look.
“Those are Treasure Glaze Platforms. They’re specially used to light up candlesticks used for sacrificial rituals. The
fires in them can last forever!” explained Old Flint when he saw that Gerald was making no effort to reply.
Upon hearing that, Ray was rightfully shocked. To think that such magical items existed…
His awe was cut short, however, when everyone suddenly heard one of Lech’s men scream in agony!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy the time they turned to look at him, his entire body was already burning! With scorched skin and eerily hollowed-
out eyes, it wasn’t long before all that remained of the man was a pool of blood on the ground!
With how gruesomely he had died, everyone was understandably terrified.
Though they made sure to distance themselves from that pool of blood, the same thing soon happened to yet
another of Lech’s team members! Before the second member died, however, Gerald and the others were able to
notice several black, spider-like creepy-crawlies crawling all over the poor man’s body.
Before they could even register what was going on, everyone froze when millions of tiny ‘squeaks’ could suddenly
be heard all around them!
Immediately looking around to investigate, Gerald realized that countless of the spider-like creatures had appeared
and were currently all over the surrounding pillars and on the ground!
“Run! Hurry!” yelled Gerald as he immediately dragged his party toward the innermost part of the underground
palace.
Of course, Lech and his remaining men followed closely behind, though soon enough, both parties found that it was
useless. They were completely surrounded by endless spiders! There was simply nowhere to retreat!
“W-what should we do, Mr. Crawford?!” asked the anxious Ray in a fearful voice.
A single spider was scary enough, but now that there were millions? It was beyond terrifying, to say the least.
Frowning deeply, Gerald then yelled, “Try using fire!”
Hearing that, everyone quickly gathered whatever they saw that could be burned before lighting them up and
tossing them to the ground.
To their horror, many of the spiders persevered, and the fire was nothing more than a temporary obstruction for
them!
With that in mind, it wasn’t long before more of Lech’s team members got into contact with the spiders and turned
into pools of blood as well…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that, Gerald and the remaining survivors were terrified out of their minds… None of them wanted to die so
terribly…
Calming himself, Gerald racked his mind for a solution, until suddenly, an idea came to him.
Looking at Juno, Gerald then quickly asked, “Juno! Do you have anything that repels insects with you?”
Upon hearing that, she nodded before replying, “I-I do have a can of insecticide with me! I don’t know how useful
it’ll be, though!”
“Just give it to me! Hurry!” instructed Gerald as Juno quickly fished out her insecticide from her bag.
Thankfully, Juno had brought along that can of insecticide to deter insects from biting them while they were in the
forest. To think that it would actually be a life saver…
Regardless, the second the insecticide was in Gerald’s hand, he immediately sprayed it on the surrounding
spiders… and it seemed to work!
The second they came into contact with the insecticide, the spiders rapidly began retreating! They were saved!
