Chapter 1527
Author: Only For You
Andrew had not told anyone about Magnus, partly because he still could not figure out what the old man was trying to do by sneaking into the ruins alone.

And partly because, truth be told, he did not really care whether Magnus lived or died.

Since the old man had chosen to go solo, Andrew couldn’t be bothered to waste energy worrying about him. More importantly, he did not want to disrupt the group's focus. After all, everyone was already worn down by fear and tension on this journey.

The treasure of the Fallen Crimson Dynasty, just like the map said, truly was a hell for the living. Although calling it hell was somewhat exaggerated, there were definitely plenty of strange and dangerous threats,

"This place is a damn wreck," Logan muttered.

The group moved slowly, scanning their surroundings. Aside from a few collapsed wooden huts, most of the structures were made of stone.

The early settlers of Gallow's End were certainly industrious. The stone houses were surprisingly ta

    Fighting through the searing pain in his back, Andrew held Chantelle tight and dove toward the bottom of the river. The Desert Eagle was useless now, but fortunately, some unknown phosphorescent glow flickered faintly underwater, barely allowing him to see ahead. Chantelle's eyes were wide with terror as she tried to cry out underwater. She swallowed two huge gulps of water before quickly shutting her mouth and frantically gesturing to Andrew with her hands. Andrew knew what she was trying to ask, but now was not the time to worry about other problems. Two spots on his back burned with intense pain—those were the bullet wounds. Luckily, Andrew had maintained good body positioning when he jumped, avoiding any vital areas, so while he was shot, it did not affect his mobility. However, this could not continue for long. The blood loss alone could kill him, so they needed to reach dry land quickly to treat his wounds. Surfacing where they had jumped from was impossible because t

    Mosby said, "Honestly, we've been waiting here for quite a while! We wouldn't believe it if anyone else could find this place, but Andrew here is as cunning as a fox. I knew he'd show up eventually. "Andrew, how do you like this little trap we've set for you? Luring you into the jar and then catching you inside?" Andrew's smile gradually turned cold. "Honestly? Not impressed at all! Ms. Garcia, step aside—this is between me and them, it has nothing to do with you." Chantelle said anxiously, "But if I move away, you'll die!" Behind them was the source of the underground river, and their current position was on a cliff face hundreds of feet high. Andrew was truly trapped with no way to escape. Andrew said calmly, "My problems aren't your concern. Step aside. I want to see what these idiots can do to me!" Mosby raged, "Ms. Garcia, move aside right now, or we'll kill you too!" Rafael's face was ice-cold. "Ms. Garcia, this isn't Blumedale. We're hundreds of feet underground in

    Behind the bronze doors stood Rafael and his crew—the same people who had vanished without a trace since the treasure hunt began as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth. All dozen or so guns were foreign-made weapons, and at least half the faces belonged to foreigners with prominent noses, deep-set eyes, and night vision goggles. "Don't you dare move, Andrew, or these men will shoot!" Mosby stepped forward with a sinister grin, eyeing the Desert Eagle in Andrew's hand. Andrew casually tossed his Desert Eagle to the ground and chuckled. "Dr. Lake, Mr. Driscoll—what a coincidence running into you here." Mosby laughed coldly. "Coincidence? You're overthinking this, Andrew! Mr. Driscoll and I have been waiting here with our men for quite some time. The tomb treasure lies just below, but unfortunately, you'll never get to see it." Andrew shrugged nonchalantly. "There's plenty of treasure to go around; I'll just take a small share. I'm not greedy, so you can have the

    "Only the most magnificent royal tombs would have side doors or alternative entrances built into them," Andrew said. Kevin nodded. "That's exactly right. Royal burial grounds often took decades to complete. Emperor's tombs especially, would begin construction the day they took the throne. Some took up to 50 years to finish. "Because of this, they inevitably had to create multiple side doors and alternative entrances. This made it convenient for craftsmen to come and go and allowed the emperor or high-ranking officials to come down and inspect the progress themselves!" Chantelle asked curiously, "Wouldn't the emperor use the main entrance when visiting his own tomb?" Andrew shook his head. "The emperor would only go through the main entrance once—on the day he was buried. Every other time, he couldn't use the main door and had to use the side entrances instead." Kevin was getting impatient. "Come on, let's hurry up and climb to take a look." The nearly vertical cliff face co

    Stepping out of the passage, they found themselves on a narrow stone walkway. Above them stretched a massive natural cave with water dripping steadily from the ceiling, while the strange, multicolored lights reflected off the cave's rock formations, creating an unexpectedly beautiful sight. The rushing sound of water came from beneath their feet. When Andrew peered down, he spotted a substantial underground river flowing rapidly below them. Shining his flashlight downward, he saw steam rising from the water's surface, making it impossible to determine the depth. He could estimate that the river was about 15 feet wide—a fairly large underground waterway. "There's such a strong sulfur smell! This river water must be from a natural hot spring—I'd love to take a dip!" Chantelle exclaimed, her feminine nature showing as she smiled at the sight of water. Andrew shook his head and warned, "Underground river water has very complex chemical compositions. There might be toxic substances

    "Chantelle, you're absolutely right—I do want to abandon you right now," Andrew said bluntly. "A disobedient person who's also arrogant and stupid has no use except being a burden." Chantelle felt utterly insulted, but she did not dare argue with Andrew. In this underground tomb, she would be completely helpless on her own and would likely be scared to death or killed by various monsters if she were not careful. Therefore, Andrew was truly her lifeline at this moment. "Fine, I'll listen to you and stop opposing you from now on. I'll do whatever you say, okay?" She stomped her foot hard in frustration as she finally submitted. Andrew nodded with satisfaction and suddenly said, "Very good. Now let's work together to kill Kevin first." Chantelle was stunned. "What did you say?" Kevin also looked shocked and pleaded, "Andy, buddy, Ms. Garcia, you can't be serious! One more person means one more way out. Killing me won't benefit you at all." The man who had just been pointi
