Chapter 1761
It wasn’t long after before the place went silent again…
Since no more arrows were being shot out, it was only fair to assume that the terrifying mechanism had finally
ended…
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lech then fearfully said, “To think that such a death trap would be here of all places, Mr.
Crawford…!”
Nobody could have foreseen this… However, that didn’t change the fact that this had been caused by one of Lechs’
men. The culprit himself had been pierced by dozens of arrows and was currently lying in his slowly encroaching
pool of blood… What a terrible way to die…
Still, this was what happened when people randomly touched things in here. With that in mind, Lech then glared at

Hearing that, all of Lech’s men simply nodded and remained standing where they currently were… Not that any of
them were daring enough to touch anything anymore. After all, who knows what they could trigger next? The next
trap they triggered could very well be the end of them!
Seeing that his men weren’t objecting, Lech then turned to face Gerald again before asking, “What do you think we
should do, Gerald? The exit’s been sealed shut!”
As Lech had said, there was now a gigantic stone blocking the exit, which meant that there was no way they were
going to be able to leave the way they came in from. With that in mind, they could only look for another exit…
“…Cave-like structures definitely have more than one exit, though the problem lies in how difficult it is to find
them!” replied Gerald.
Hearing that, Lech then ordered, “Alright, listen up, men! There has to be a way to leave this place, so let’s start
looking for an exit!”
With that, everyone from Lech’s team began scanning high and low for a way to leave the underground palace…
Gerald and his party, on the other hand, stood before the wheel, studying it to see if it had any way of getting them
out of there…
Sometime later, Ray declared, “…Mr. Crawford! There appears to be a mechanism of sorts down here that can be
turned!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald squatted down and saw that Ray was right. There was indeed a round mechanism that
looked like it could be turned…
Old Flint himself then said, “If my guess is correct, turning that round mechanism should activate this wheel!”
Momentarily turning to face Old Flint, Gerald then nodded. He believed in the old man’s wisdom, so he quickly
began turning the mechanism without any hesitation…

After realizing that the wheel itself was starting to turn, Gerald and the others quickly took a few steps back, fully
vigilant since nobody knew what was going to happen next.
The wheel itself only stopped turning after it slowly spun by a hundred and eighty degrees… And the second the
turning ended, an explosive sound was heard!
Turning to face the source of the sound, everyone watched as an opening slowly revealed itself on the wall where
the wheel ended up facing once it stopped moving. By the time the stone slab was fully lifted, everyone could only
stare wide-eyed at the new entrance before them.
Quickly shaking the shock off, Gerald then said, “Let’s go!”
With that, he and his party instantly entered the new opening. Naturally, Lech and his men quickly followed after as
well.
While they had anticipated this to be their ticket out of here, it was anything but… As it turned out, it was the
entrance of yet another underground palace!
There were towering stone pillars on either side of the newly uncovered underground palace, and beside each pillar
was a platform. The middle of each platform gave off a faint light, illuminating just enough for all of them to see
where they were going…
