Chapter 103
Oliver put Eye Sculpture into the small hole. Its size was exactly the same, and there were no gaps
visible. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The others around were curious. Just as they were watching, a dull sound suddenly rang out, and even the ground seemed to be shaking.
Everyone was startled and quickly took a few steps back while glancing around, wondering if it was an earthquake.
The sound gradually became louder. Then, Sienna suddenly pointed to the stone wall of Mount Rockenan and shouted, “T-There is a hole in the stone wall!”
Everyone’s gaze followed where Sienna pointed and saw a seam of 21 square feet appear on the stone wall.
Then, the gap widened, and the stones in the stone wall shrank inwardly.
A few minutes later, a hole of 21 square feet appeared in front of everyone.
They could not help but open their mouths wide in shock.
No one could have thought such a big hole would appear on the stone wall that had no crack.
Moreover, the hole appeared in that inconceivable form as a mechanism. It was really unimaginable.
There seemed to be a faint light in the cave. They wondered what the inside would be.
Oliver stared inside for a while. It seemed like there was light inside. It was useless to identify using visual identification because what Oliver saw was the stone wall. The stone wall’s information was the only one he could identify, which was completely useless.
Next to Oliver, Sienna leaned on his shoulder and looked inside. “It’s so strange. Why can’t I see it at all from the outside when there’s such a big hole here?”
Everyone had different expressions, but only Gunther was the most excited.
“I-It really exists.” It seemed Gunther was about to cry.
Louis and Yoseph hurriedly took out the night vision goggles and distributed them to everyone. They knew that Gunther was the most excited.
Oliver put on the night vision goggles and was ready to walk to the front. However, Wayne and Simon ran forward to shield him without asking his opinion.
Oliver did not argue. He knew Wayne and Simon would never let him take risks, so it was useless to argue with them.
Only Wayne, Simon, Louis, and Yoseph put on night vision goggles. The rest, except Gunther, wore headlamps.
Inside the cave was a square space of around six feet seven inches, followed by a staircase stretching up.
Oliver was afraid that there would be a trap on the stone stairs. He looked at it and quickly said to Wayne and Simon, “Slow down!”
After walking more than 30 feet, a door-shaped entrance appeared in front of them. There were three words above the entrance. Oliver only knew the word in the middle.
Wayne and Simon stopped. They looked at the door but did not recognize the words.
Gabriel stepped forward and recognize it. He read, “The Ascend Door!”
“The Ascend Door,” repeated Oliver. Then, he mused, “The Ascend Door? What does that mean?”
Wayne glanced inside the door and suddenly said in surprise, “T-Turn off the lights!”
The others did not know what Wayne meant but turned off the headlamps according to his words.
The cave instantly darkened. Then, a soft ray of light brightened up.
The light was emitted from inside the door. They walked into the door to take a look.
Everyone was stunned by the view as soon as they entered.
The top of the cave was embedded with luminous pearls as big as goose eggs. The soft and bright light was like a small-sized
moon.
Oliver was stunned when the identification message popped up as he looked at the pearls.
He exclaimed inwardly, “Damn!”
Those pearls were real luminous pearls. Each of them was worth more than millions of dollars. About every nine feet ten inches, a luminous pearl was embedded in the alleyway behind the door.
Looking from a distance, Oliver noticed the alley was winding up. Thinking about the height of Mount Rockenan, Oliver
wondered about the number of luminous pearls on the path that led them to the peak.
Louis also looked up at those luminous pearls that were emitting light like the moon. Standing beside Louis, Yoseph jumped with all his might but could not jump very high and did not reach the pearls.
“If I get a few of them, I’m sure they can be sold for a lot of money.” Yoseph glanced around and wanted to find something to step on, so he could try to dig out the pearls.
Gabriel immediately stopped him. “Yoseph, stop. You’d better not touch anything until you know what’s going on. There are dangers that you can’t imagine in places like this.”
Yoseph was stunned for a moment. He held back from jumping but had the thought of getting rich in his heart.
Gunther paid them only 200 thousand dollars for that trip. Yoseph would earn more than 200 thousand dollars if he dug out a luminous pearl and sold it.
There were so many luminous pearls, and they did not need to fight for the pearls. Yoseph could sell them for a lot by digging a few out. Rather than working for others to earn, Yoseph thought it would be better to make a fortune without asking for others’ help.
It felt that the alley was circling the mountain upward, but the slope was not very steep, When they walked about 165 feet, two identical paths appeared in front. They did not know whether to go left or right.
Gabriel looked at both paths carefully for a while and was unsure which way to go. Then, he asked, “Oliver, which way do you think we should take?”
Oliver thought about it, and Gunther waved his hand directly. “Why don’t we go separately in two ways?”
Louis immediately nodded in agreement, and Yoseph was even delighted.
If they were divided into two groups, there was no doubt that Oliver and the three would be in one group. Yoseph and Louis were in the same group as Gunther and the rest. Thus, Oliver’s group had four people, while Louis’ group had five people.
Oliver’s team had Wayne and Simon. Yoseph knew very well that he could not defeat any of them. It would not be easy even for him to win. Besides, Yoseph was aware of Oliver and Sienna.
Oliver looked like a rich kid. After getting to know him for several days, Yoseph knew Oliver was not like a mere rich kid. Yoseph knew he was unsuitable to team up with them.
Yoseph looked at his own group. Gunther was sick, and Gabriel was old. They could not stop Yoseph from doing anything.
The only one who could stop him was Louis. Yoseph thought it did not matter if he dug a few luminous pearls since there
were many.
When they split into teams, as Yoseph expected, Gunther, Hailey, Gabriel, Louis, and he were in a group.
Oliver and Sienna were in a group with Wayne and Simon.
After they were divided into groups, Wayne reminded Louis of something. Then, the two groups entered a path respectively.
After walking for half an hour, the path seemed endless. Thus, Oliver’s team stopped.
Checking the surroundings, Wayne said, “Mr. Eastwood, I think this cave is weird.”
Oliver nodded and said, “Me too. What do you
think?”
Wayne pointed to the endless path and said, “This path… I felt like I was in Enchanting Fog before. It feels like I can’t find the way out.”
Oliver hummed in response. “I have the same feeling. But it’s strange. We’ve walked at least three miles along this road. How could we not find a way out?”
